SUPPLY CORN FODDER
TO cows IN SUM MER
Feed Small Quantities at First
Until They Become ACcuS-
toned to New Feed.

Cows, unless the pasture is unusual
ly good. should have a feed of corn
fodder twice q day. If very succulent,
It should be cut and allowed to wilt a
few hours before feeding. Feed small
quantities at. first until they become
accustomed to it. If too much is fed
at first it will cause hoven. Green
Feed may be saved by giving the cows
Il feed of old hay or wheat straw in the
morning before they are turned out (;
the straw is readily eaten and less
green feed will be needed.
Cows need plenty of water especially
when the weather is hot; they will
drink frequently If the water is handy.
Keep the stables clean and dry.
The better plan is to have a day
and night pasture; very few dairymen
can have this; the next best way Is to
have roomy yard adjoining the
stables, with trough of pure water In
1t.
In the busy driving season Of hay
Ing and harvesting the live stock on
the farm is very often neglected. BE
on your guard against this. Make 1t
your personal business to see that the
horses, cows, sheep and pigs are well
fed and properly stabbed.

(By F. F.. BALMER, State Leader of
County Agents of Minnesota.)
The corn grower can scarcely be too
enthusiastic about gathering more
seed corn than is apparently needed.
One thing which tends to lessen a gem
erous selection of seed consists in not
providing some convenience for get
ting the corn easily and rapidly out Of
the field.
For selecting seed corn on small
scale, q grain sack with a short, wide
band connecting the top and bottom,
so it may be conveniently carried over
the shoulder, is good for carrying corn.
If desired, two satisfactory bags can
be made from one grain sack By cut
ting it in two, making each bag just
half the length of the grain bag. Such
a bag should be provided with a wide
band sewed to opposite sides of the
open end, so when carrying over the
shoulder the mouth of the bag will
hang about even with the waist. The
bag may be made slightly more con-
venient by having a wire hoop about
the top, which keeps it open and
makes dropping the ears into it easier
BY the use of such bag one person
can by steady work select and carry
from a fairly good field from seven to
ten bushels of well selected ears. AT

the close of each half day he should
properly string up the corn, or ar
range it for cutting.
This method is irksome If large Sc
lections are to be made. A sledlike
frame either on runners or low wheels
narrow enough to go between two
rows of corn and long enough to carry
five or six bushel-siZe baskets or boxes,
is a very convenient device for use in
carrying the seed ears selected in the
field. AS this is drawn through the
field by q horse, one or two persons
may select from as many as the four
nearest rows or three persons may
easily select from six rows. At the
ends of the le!d the full baskets or
boxes may be replaced by empty ones,
or they may be dumped, to be gath
cred up by a wagon at the close of
each half day or day. This device may
break down occasional stalks of corn,
varying with the amount of bent or
twisted stalks, but the damage is more
than paid for by the time saved. Such
carrier makes possible more rapid
selection of the ears, and relieves the
operators of carrying heavy bags of
corn when all energy is needed in
judging the ears and the stalks for
the selection.

ADDI'SEvZNIN(
EAEY TALL az
EGRET MOTHERS.
. MARY GRAHAM. BONNER

"Two birds called the Egret birds
were talking. They were very happy.
One was named Mrs. Snowy Egret and
the other was named Mrs. American
Egret," began Daddy.
Mrs. Snowy Is one of the loveliest
birds to be found anywhere and she is
just like her name. She is white, pure
white, and her plumage is very rich,
very beautiful. Her beak and her legs
are black, but all of her feathers are
white, and there are glorious feathery
white sprays of feathers in her cos
tune which are called in the fashion
able world, aigrettes.
"You See" said Daddy, 'the fash
ionable world and the birdland world
are often very far apart, and though
now people are thinking more of birds
and less of their hats, still I want to
tell this story so that Nancy, when she
grows up will remember to find out
what kind of feathers she is buying.
Mrs. American Egret is said to have
fifty 'aigrette' plumes and they are at
their best just when the little egrets
have arrived. Now, Mrs. Snowy Egret
was in rookery talking of her fine lit
tie children. Mrs. American Egret
was telling of her children, too. They
both were comparing notes, as moth
ers will.
"Mine are hungry little BROOD
said Mrs. Snowy.
"'Ah! so are nine said Mrs. Ameri-
can Egret. They will be beautiful
birds, the dear little loves and Mrs.
American Egret kissed her birdlings
with her beak-oh, such a soft, sweet.
motherly kiss.
Little birdlings,' she whispered
softly to them. And off in the other
rookery Mrs. Snowy was singing very
gently to her little brood-little songs
with very little meaning. But, ali
they were full of joy and of happiness
and of the great, great love mother
bird gives TO her young.
"Then both birds would realize that
they hadn't said anything to each
other for a long time, and Mrs. Snowy
would say: 4 just forget to talk. l
can't keep my eyes off the little dears.
And oh they are so sleepy
asleep and food will make them
lovely said Mrs. American Egret. L
know the dears will have far loveIier

and aerated by flowing in a thiu film
over a corrugated metal surface cooled
by water which circulates through on
the inside.
Not only does this cool the milk
but some of the bad flavor of fresh
milk may be eliminated by exposure
to pure air. The temperature OF the
milk will depend on the GOODNESS Of
the water used. If the milk is to be
sold it should be kept cool by allowing
the cans to stand in a tank of cold
water.
If only cream Is sold from the farm
the milk should be. separated imme-
diately after milking and the cream
cooled at once. The keeping quality
of the butter made from this cream
will depend upon the way the cream
is handled at the farm. Creamery
men are coming to realize that in or
der to produce good quality of but
ter they must have good cream to
start with and in many places they
are paying a premium to the farmers
who deliver cream Of good quality.
Cream must be cooled Immediately
after being separated and any other
cream that is separated later should
be cooled before being added to the
first cream. The cream, If delivered
three times a week during summer,
should reach the creamery in first
class condition and should make but
ter of good quality.
The cheapest and most simple ar
rangement for keeping cream and milk
cool on the farm is made by allowing
water that flows to stock tanks to
pass through a sheltered tank in which
the milk and cream cans are placed.

Little Birdlings," She Whispered
Softly.

plumage than their parents when the
time comes for them to be full grown
eyes, / can feel myself that the
snowy children will be whittier and finer
than l am said Mrs. Snowy. Which
only showed how her mother love was
making her think her little birdllngs
were a great deal more handsome than
she was. AS yet they We're rather queer
and featherless. But deep in their bird
hearts each mother bird knew that the
day would come when the birdlings
would be gorgeous birds, though just
now they were only dear little helpless
things
"'My little Ones whispered Mrs.
Snowy again. The little ones stirred
contentedly. They need have no fear.
Mother Snowy was there to care for
them. She would never desert them.
"My darlings, said Mrs. American
Egret. And the small, feeble birds
knew they would be loved and looked
after.
'When, bang, bang, bang! went the
gun of big man, and down fell Mrs.
Snowy from her rookery. Again the
cruel sounds echoed through the
woods.
"Bang, bang bang! Down fell Mrs.
American Egret.
'The little birdlings turned uneas-
lily In their nests. They were hungry |!
Where was mother? Oh, why did the
world all of a sudden seem so cold, so
friendless, so foodless?
1.-TWO men were talking. This snowy
bird is a beauty said one. Ever so
many hats can be trimmed now. And
such money as we will get!
"'There are fifty aigrettes in this
American Bird said the other man.
This was a good day for u.s.
Eyes, a good day for the men who
made the money, perhaps. A good day
for the women who wore the beauti-
full feathers in their hats. But back
in the woods two families of little birds
were left to starve and die-because
the world of fashion wanted their
mothers. These birds have almost dis
appeared in the country, so many have
been destroyed and now they are not
supposed to be killed. But never,
never, Nancy. If you ever see an aig-
rette for sale when you are a big lady,
never Set it, for such cruel fashions
should be stopped. No one should ever
buy such feathers, for they are finest
when the birds are young, and think
of what that means! Hundreds of lit
tie birds left to die because of a fash
ion |"

GULL CHICKEN FLOCK EARLY
Every Breeder Seems Anxious to Real.
lie on Fowls and Get Back Some
of Money Invested.

The advice to Gull early seems I'M
necessary this year, when every breed
er is anxious to realize on his flock
and get back some Of the money he
has been putting into chickens. For
the home flock, one wants early cock
erels, but If the trade In cockerels is
for low-prlced birds only, it will not
be profitable to keep the early Matched
males for the trade.
Keep all pullets save the deformed.
An early Matched pullet, with all the
disquallfications mentioned in the
standard, may be the most profitable
bird on the place as an early layer.
She can be culled before the eggs are
needed for Matching, but viii pay for
her feed until then.

Cheapeninu Character.

No matter what work you have to
do, do your best at 1t. Your effort is
not wasted, even If 1t does not show.
Sometimes young people tell them
selves that IL makes no difference
whether they put their best endeavor
into their daily tasks, or only their
second or third best. 1t may not make
any particularly difference In the APP
pearance of the work itself, but II
makes all the difference in the world
