SUPPLY CORN FODDER
TO cows In YER
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 a day. If very succulent,
1t 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 1t will cause hoven. Green
feed may be saved by giving the cows
q 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 a roomy yard adjoining the
stables, with a 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 it
your personal business to see that the
horses, cows, sheep and pigs are we'll
fed and properly stabbed.

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, N wants early cock
erels, but If the trade In cockerels Is
for low-prlced birds only, 1t 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
dlsquallfcations 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 will pay for
her feed until then.

and aerated by flowing in a thin film
over a corrugated metal surface cooled
by water which ci%rculates 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 1t 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 a good quality of but
ter they must have good cream to
start with and in many places they
are paying a premium to h farmers
who deliver real 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.

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 gen.
erous selection Of seed consists in not
providing some convenience for get
ting the corn easily and rapidly out of
the field.
Fol- selecting seed corn on a small
scale, a 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 a bag n person
can by steady work select and carry
from a fairly good field from sever to
ten bushels of well selected ears. At

the close of each half day he should
properly string up the corn, oil ar
range 1t for cutting.
This method is irksome If large Sc
lections are to be made. A sledlike
frame either on runner 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 a 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 field 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 a 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.

DESERTER IS SENTENCED TO
 BE SHOT DEAD

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. - A na- turalized German who deserted while serving in the United States army at Panama has been sentenced to death for desertion in time of war by court martial, is the announcement of the war department today. The mans name is not furnished.
 The circumstances of the ease are not lacking in a certain sympathetic interest. The unfortunate man had been a good soldier up to the time when his mother country was declar- ed an enemy by the United States Congress. When it became a case of warning against Germany, the nat uralized American found that taking out citizens papers had not cooled his inborn affection for his native land and rather than fight against her, he deserted.
 lie made a futile attempt to return to Germany to join the colors there but was apprehended and must pay the extreme penalty unless ciemency is exercised. Considering the crcum- stances it is not considered unlikely that his sentence may be commuted to a long term of Imprisonment by the military authorities. ..
