Sheep are good weed killers.
Concrete makes the best kind of
dairy-stable floor.
The key to farming success is the
three L's-lime, legumes and live
stock.
Soy beans yield valuable oil which
is used in the manufacture of paints
and varnishes.
Proper onion storage provides a
free circulation of air around the in
dividual bulbs. This is best provided
by storing in slat crates.
Seed potatoes should be saved at
digging time IL one expects to keep
his own seed supply and select it from
potatoes of his own growing.
If the corn crop is late and the
prospects are that the grain will not
mature, prepare to- cut it for silage.
If you have no silo, the pit silo is
easily and cheaply built, where soil
conditions are favorable.
Alfalfa has been making friends rapid
ly in dairy sections. The large volume
of hay produced, as well as the high
feeding value of the hay when properly
cured, makes it one of the most Inn
portant feeds for the dairy COW.
In young pigs that are very fat and
do not get sufficient exercise, thumps
may appear. In such cases get the SOW
and pigs out in clean place or gradu-
ally introduce them to grean pasture
when the pigs are three to four weeks
old.
When the soil is cold, fertility be-
comes available very slowly. Also
there is considerable teaching Of nj
trates because of the continuous rains
at this season. That is why an ap-
plication of some heterogeneous fertilizer
is so necessary to any growing vege-
table.

To determine whether dried beer
pulp, green oats and peas, pumpkins,
carrots, sugar beets, rape, soy beans
part undesirable fiavors and odors to
the milk, and to ascertain the best
methods of feeding such crops and
handling the milk, the United States
Department of Agriculture has con-
Quoted feeding tests at it's experiment
farm at Beltsville, Md.
The cows selected for the investiga-
tons were giving milk relatively free
from abnormal f1avors and odors when
fed basic hay and grain ration, and
varied in stage of lactation from those
fresh to those nearing end of lacta-
ton period.
Besides the succulent feed the ami
mails received, in proportion to milk
produced, varying quantities of the
following grain mixture: 100 pounds
each of hominy feed, bran and oats
and so pounds each of cottonseed meal
and linseed meal. In addition they
were given all the alfalfa hay they
would readily consume. The cows
were divided into groups of four each,
and interchanged at intervals of four
days.

Making French Dressing

For French, or oil and vinegar
dressing, use these proportions and
make any amount you need: half tea
spoonful of salt, a few grains of cay
enne, paprika if desired, two table
spoonfuls of vinegar, six tablespoon
fuls of oil. An old cookbook used to
say that French dressing required "a
spendthrift for oil, miser for vim
egar, and mailman to stir it up."
At any rate, add vinegar sparingly and
beat the ingredients together until
they are well blended. If you have
cruet or other bottle with tight STOP
per, you can keep French dressing on
hand all the time, simply shaking the
bottle vigorously when ready to use
the dressing.

APPLE BUTTER is
APPETIZING DISH
Can Be Made Either With or
Without Cider.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
There are two ways of making apple
butter-either with or without sweet
cider. In making apple butter with
cider the usual proportion is gallon
for gallon, but from one-half to three
quarters of a gallon of cider to
gallon of peeled and sliced apples will
give a rich product if the apples are
good cookers. The butter must be
watched carefully and stirred fire.
quently to prevent scorching and
sticking to the kettle. An enamel
lined or aluminium preserving kettle
especially kept for cooking fruit is de-
sirable, though not absolutely neces-
sary. The cooking is continued until
the cider and apples do not separate
and the butter, when cold, is as thick
as apple sauce. About a pound of
either white or brown sugar to gal.
Ion of butter is the usual proportion,
added when the cooking is about two
thirds done. More or less or not any
sugar may be used, to suit the taste.
Splicing is matter of taste. A good
flavor will be obtained by adding half
a teaspoOnful each of ground CHINA
mon, cloves and allspice for each gal
lon of butter, when the cooking Is fin
ished. From two to four teaspoonfuls
of vanilla extract per gallon improves
the quality and adds to the "snappi-
ness" of the butter.
Pack the apple butter boiling hot in
sterilized containers, such as glass
mason Jars or stoneware Jars. If the
butter is to be kept long time use
Jars with tight-fitting covers and ster-
ilize them in hot-water bath for five
to fifteen minutes, according to size,
like other canned fruits.

Silage Should Be Used
With Other Roughages

Silage is relished by all kinds of
farm animals and is reasonably safe
feed for any except males kept for
breeding purposes, or horses at heavy
labor. However, best results are not
secured by feeding only silage, but it
should be used in connection with 9TH
er roughage and grain in proportions
varying with the kind and condition

son for wasting it, and true economy
in feeding is only to be found where
there Is definite purpose in view.

that's something I amt anything
else but. I guess I know as much
about the automobile game as any
one else.
Il started in the automobile bust

II was with the American COM
pany back when they built that low
underslung car and 'Howdy' Will
cox and I worked in the Indiana
garage. That was in 1906. That
place is torn down now.
II was a driver for Thomas Tag
CART one time. Later l was con-
nected with the game in various
ways and for eight years I operated
a garage in Brazil, Ind.
Il know every phase of the auto
game. I know some of those guys
are sore because they didn't get
some of their relatives in the job.
He'll Earn His Money
"When I take over that garage
it's going to be run right. There's
plenty of work there for anybody.
And since know something about
this business I'm going to do it up
right.
when they pay me $4,000 for
that job am going to do enough
work to collect that easily. The
job, If done right, is worth that
much"

ness, I've worked on every part of
an automobile there is. I know
springs, generators, and can build
