USES FOR SKIM MILK
One of Best Feeds for Both
Young and Old Chickens.
Also Considered Excellent for Pigs OF
All Ages-Valuable in Itself and
Assist in Digestino the
Other Foods.

Milk is one of the best foods for
both young and old chickens. The
~casein, or curdy part Of the milk, large
ly supplies the protein necessary for
laying hens, while for table fowl there
is nothing superior to milk for making
white, juicy, delicious flesh.
The milk may be either sour or
sweet, and may be given as a drink
or mixed with the meal. or both. Sour
skim milk or buttermilk fed to chick
ems confined to limited range keeps
them in health. The acid of the milk
supplies the lack Of vegetable acid

and moreover it aids digestion.
Poultry farmers living . a q cream

milk. which can be had ut very reason

Farm Dairying says: Skim milk
is considered one of the best of foods
for pigs of all ages. 1t is not only
valuable in itself, but it helps to digest
other foods and SO makes them more
valuable. Milk makes a firm, excellent
quality of pork.

GOOD WAY TO MEASURE HAY
Four Hundred Cubic Feet Has Been
Found to Be Fair Estimate for
Ton-Weight Will Vary.

Sometimes hay is sold in the NOW
or the stack. When this is done it is
necessary to estimate it.
It has been found that 400 cubic
feet of hay will be Il fair estimate for
a tor. The actual weight of 400 cubic
feet of hay, Of curse, will vary, as will
the kind Of hay. time Of cutting, posi-
ton Of the nov, etc. But it Will be
Il fair estimate to both buyer and sell
er to consider 400 cubic feet a ton.
When you are making an estimate
multiply together the length. breadth
ard height of the NOW or stack in feet
and divide the product by 400. The
quotient will be the number of tons.

Eight Pecks to Acre

Experiments conducted by the chic
experiment station during II vars
and including eight different rates OF
seeding with ten varieties of vhea,
show that eight recks to the acre
gives the greatest net yie,i Of grain.
Figures given in the stations bullc-
tin point in general to IA gradual In
crease in yield from the use Of three
pecks to nine pecks per acre. but seed
ing more than eight pecks to the acre
has not paid for the extra seed.

Kitchen Hints.

Never leave potatoes in a saucepan
after they are cooked, as this spoils
their color. To keep hot, place in Il
basin in Il steamer.
Chopped suet is very useful for re-
placing eggs in milk puddings. Simply
sprinkle Il little on the top and the
pudding will be rich and creamy.
Always press silk under a piece of
muslin to prevent the silk from hecom-
ing hard and crackly. First damp the
muslin, and use a moderately hot iroD
till the muslin is quite dry.

LIVE STOCK AIDS FERTILITY
Diversified Farming Calls for System,
Of Rotation and Is Best insur-
ance of an Income.

On farms where live stock is kept
the land is more productive than on
farms where exclusive grain farming
is followed. Where the crops are sold
on the market all of the plant food
contained in those crops is lost to the
soil. This practice will result without
fail in impoverishment of the land.
Livestock farming is diversified
farming and calls for a system Of crop
rotation. 1t returns fertility to the
soil. Adds interest to the work of the
people living on the farms and finally
is the best insurance of an income.

FARM OF RIGHT PROPORTIONS
Records Show That Farmer Either
Has Too Many Acres or Not
Enough for Successful Work.

The size Of business often has much
to do toward making the farm profit
able. Farm management records show
that farms are often either too small
Or too large for the most successful
farming.
There may be too few as well as too
many acres. 4 man may not have
enough land OF he may be land poor
thereby rendering all his acres I'M
profitable.

Scrofula eruptions on the face

This disease shows itself in other
ways, as punches in the neck, in
famed eyelids, sore ears, wasting of
the muscles, form Of dyspepsia,
and general debility.
Ask your druggist for Hoods
Sarsaparilla. This great medicine
completely eradicates scrofula. It
purifies and enriches the blood, re-
moves humors, and builds up the
whole system.
Scrofula is either inherited or ac-
quired. Better be sure you are
quite free from it. Get Hoods Sar-
saparilla and begin taking it today.
