MILK AS \ FOOD.

Because milk stands first in its
value as a nOurishment for invalids,

that it will be easily digested and

possible, but 10 take it slowly, so
that il may be mixed with the

and weight the margins of profit are
certain to be more nearly satisfactory.
But as purebred cattle have become
more numerous they are more fire.
quently in comparison with grades and
inferior standards Mt the markets, and
the purebred invariably has the ad-
vantage, or in such cases where he
fails 1t is due to some other cause.
There have been many arguments
offered to encourage farmers to grow
purebred cattle, 'but these arguments
have not been necessary since the cost
of maintenance has reached Its present
level, nor with the numerous object
lessons with which they have become
familiar.
In England, where live stock im-
provement has been carried on more
successfully and for longer period
than in any country. the great majority
Of the cattle stocks are purebred, or
practically so. The shorthorn greatly
outnumbers other breeds. This is due
u ltS responsiveness " luTin touui-
ions and its dual purpose character.
On every farm where beef making is
conducted reasonable quantity pro-
duction of milk is essential and this
the shorthorn provides along with its
beef yields.
1t Will be long time in this coun-
try before we reach anywhere near
80 per cent proportion of purebred cat
tie of all breeds, but there is abundant
evidence that we are steadily and GER
talnly moving in that direction. The
time will come when we will have
passed the 30 per cent mark and will
approach 75 per cent total, but that
will be long while In the future. The
available supply of purebred cattle for
breeding purposes is insufficient to per-
init of attaining these percentages in
the near future. Certain it is, how
ever. that once the farmer has given
purebred cattle a reasonable trial
he will not be satisfied to put in his
time with less responsive and less
profitable standards:

SPRAYING is NOW NECESSARY
Whether Fruit Is Raised for Home Use
or for Market Spraying Will In
sure Best Results.

There may have been a time when
fruit could be successfully grown
without spraying. There was little
commercial demand for fruit years
ago. Farmers orchards were planted
exclusively for home use and If much
of the fruit was wormy and fell from
the trees for the hogs there was little
complaint.
But these days the farmer himself
expects good fruit and he is not satis-
fed with fruit of an inferior quail
ity. Furthermore. he wants to sell
the surplus, for there is demand
for it.
That spraying is now necessity
for successful fruit growing no well
informed orchardist will question.
Whether fruits are raised for home
use only or for market spraying will
be insurance for best results in or
charding.
Preparations should be made early
for winter spraying. The spores of
disease may be destroyed when the
trees are dormant by using strong,
concentrated sprays. In this way the
danger of diseases may be consider
ably reduced.
Among the fruit tree diseases with
which peach growers had to contend
this year was peach tree leaf curl.
This disease was more common than
general this year and special effort
should be made to control 1t next
year. 1t is not very hard to control
provided spraying be done in time.
The solution best suited for dormant
spraying is lime-sulphur. A strong so
luton can be used In winter and there
are many more chances of destroying
the spores of the diseases.

equipment, and frequently force the au-
tomobile owner to abandon the use of
his car for the entire spring rather
than risk breakdown.
Most of the unpleasantness and diff
fculty may be remedied in many local
tiles even in the worst weather, for
there are times when the worst cut
up surface is in fairly good condition
for dragging. By taking advantage of
the proper moment, the ruts and bumps
can be smoothed out and the next
freeze will result in a smooth hard
surfaced pike that can be favorably
compared to concrete highway.
Owing to the fact that the road sur
face will be rather wet and sticky
when dragged, greater care must be
exercised in handling the drag. If the
blades of the drag are set vertically,
there will be a tendency to scrape up
too much earth, or, in the language
of. the road man, BALL up in front"
Also, If the hitch to the team is set too
near the center, the angle of the drag
with the road will be too nearly a
or crown the wet earth.
Dragging under these conditions
should be more an "Ironing out the
wrinkles" process; hence the blades Of
the drag should be given a forward
or fiatter inclination than when work
ing dry road. The hitch should be
so arranged that the angle of the drag
Is more nearly parallel to the road
than ordinary, thus causing the earth
to shed better and prevent trouble. For
extremely bad conditions, the use of
the road machine ahead of the drag
will be found effective. In all cases,
the road should be freed of all stumps.
snags, and powders, as these seriously
retard good dragging.
A little practice will enable the op-
orator to do fairly credltable job,
and after subsequent freeze the road
will present a smoother and much more
comfortable surface. Then, when the
spring rains come, the road will quick
ly shed the water that formerly col
lected in the deep ruts, and be dry and
hard long before similar roads not
dragged.
The present difficulties encountered
In getting large amounts Of crushed
stone for road repairs necessitates the
greatest care in maintaining all road
surfaces in the best possible way with

VALUE OF CLIPPING
OFTEN OVERLOOKED
Benefit to Horse and Also to
Owner Who Saves Feed.
At Least 20 Per cent In Cost Of Feed.
ing Is Saved by Use Of Clippers
as Often as There Ia Suf-
fieient Hair to Clip.
tBy JAMES coLEMAN3

If horse owners only knew the ad-
vantages attached to the clipping of
working horses, the manufacturers Of
clipping machines would do much
more thriving business. From all
points i have considered the pros and
cons of the practice, and I have
proved. at least to my own satisfac-
tion. that clipping is an all-around
benefit"to not only the horse. but to
the owner, who may save considerably
in the cost of feeding.
Any thinker Will readily accept the
statement that hair eats. Therefore.
the heavier horses coat the great
er percentage of what he eats Is de-
voured by his hair. In humans 1t has
been proved similar condition OBJ
tains. A little girl with heavy head
of hair often is weak and her parents
are puzzled to account for her lack of
robust health. Let the child's hair
be cut OFF and she rapidly improves
In condition and regains Juvenile VI
vacity.
For working horse heavy coat
Is just the opposite of necessity; ;
for it means that the hair has to be
fed. Nothing assists so materially
In the fattening of poor horse as
clipping his coat and keeping 1t short.
At least 20 per cent is saved in the cost
of feeding a working horse-any breed
by using the clippers as often as
there is sufficient hair to clip.
In the winter time 1t Is impossible
to dry even a racehorse thoroughly
after he has got up sweat" and
racehorses are almost invariably clip
ped once in the season and sometimes
oftener.
1t is impossible to keep properly
clean the hide of horse that has
heavy coat, and as "a good clean" is
reckoned by horse owners as being
worth half n feed 1t needs little cal
cuiation to know what clipping means.
For the working horse, clipping is a
positive necessity.

Used In Connection With Power

One Of the latest developments in
spraying apparatus is what is known
as the spray gun, short, pipelike
contrivance to be used in connection
with a power-driven pump. 1t will
throw a fine spray into the tops of the
trees and the operator can stand on
the ground. 1t is claimed to be more
effective than the long-pole method. 1t
operates under pressure of 175
pounds but uses no more spray ma
terial than the usual outfit. While

tions, orchardists who have adopted 1t
