turned to work. He says a little thing
like that won't keep him off the job.

Many so-called scrub cows, if fresh
ened in the fall and given the right
kind of feed and treatment during the
winter before coming on grass for the
latter part of their lactation period,
would prove to be money makers. This
seems to be supported fully by rec
ords of cow-testing associations.

Do as much winter and fall plowing
as possible. Every acre that is Dlowed
now means that much saved in time
and labor next spring, when the busy
season is on. It also permits the
fields to take up the winter rains and
gives a good storage supply of moist
ure for the coming crop.
