NOTES from MEADOWBROOK FARM

By William Pitt

Study your horse. Salt is essential for cows. Give young pigs comfortable quarters. One breed is always better than & hodgepodge. It is not always the largest hen that is the best jlayer. If not moldy sorghum is an excellent root forage for all stock. --••• ' T J • In order to have good-sized Jjhnep grow them rapidly while young. ' Poorly fed sheep will not produce very good wool, nor good mutton. Equal parts of, qorpf and oats are hard to excel r# a grain feed Jfor sheep.

During an extra cold spell of weather, add a little corn to the sow's grain ration. * ' ' - i . "*“■# Dp net attempt to winter more £ sheep; than can be done without crowding. By the right kind of selection even the commonest dairy herd can be greatly improved.

Growing pigs should not be crowded into dose, filthy quarters, exposed to vermin and disease.

The driver more than the horse is always more to blame for the animal’s being vicious—if he ever is.

Leave a horse untied when hooked to a vehicle and he will be likely to be gone when you return for him.

You will appreciate the difference between low-headed and high-headed trees when you are picking the crop.

Decaying vegetables In storage under the living rooms In the cellar are apt to promote ill health in the household.

Keep both eyes open when near the gentle bull just the same as if he were ugly, or he may take you unawares.

The best dairy cow is the one that will convert tie forage raised on the farm into the greatest amount of butter fat.

A dairy thermometer comes into good play any time of year, but is especially valuable to fcgve around for winter churning.

The Supply of vegetable matter Is most easily maintained In the soil by the growing of green crops and by the application of manure. ”

Change in the conditions of dairying is driving many men out of the work because they would rather quit than improve their methods. Horse breeding requires ital, is more profitable If successful, and involves larger losses if not, than buy other kind of stock breeding. Moles in a garden prove an Intolerable nuisance. While they may be trapped, the only sure way is to inject bisulphate of carbon Into their runs. Give the 1 old sows, and those that have been pulled down by late litters, extra care and feed, so .they will go through the winter In profitable con-

A half teaspoonful of Paris green added to heavily sweetened water or molasses will kill the cut worms, but care should be taken that the fowls cannot get at it.

An old horseman says that the chief cause of colic in horses, or the cause of the largest per cent, of these cases, is brought through long abstinence from water.

Alfalfa meal is becoming a popular feed, but in Kansas, where they raise a lot of that kind of hay, farmers claim that the cow can do the grinding cheaper than it can be done at the mill. <

Whdn a man tells you that he has cows that he could milk all the year round if he would, see if you cannot gobble onto some of his stock. Cows that hold out are worth their weight in gold.

Farmers all know that cream is a perishable product, but soifte de not realise the Importance of cooling from the separator, and failure to properly cool cream immediately after it comes from the separator Is the principal cause for the poor quality.

Rape is popular with hogs. " Very fat fowls are poor layers. i A horse suffering from colic should be kept quiet. Asparagus may also be forced near | cellar furnaces. ° . I i .. ' _ As tillers of the soil, earth ’worms j constitute a • greats army. . ' ■* *’ . ■* * Put kerosene dh the roosts frequent, ly to keep down chicken lice, •- Teach the CBlt id Hi ft mixture oi oats, wheat bran and linseed meal. There is something In the first milk that the calf needs, and should have. Remember to treat your cow with consideration in these days and nights.

The demands on the foal's digestive system for nourishment is very great A flock of ewes rightly handlsd should produce 125 per cent, of lambs. It Is the income from each sheep that shoifld determine the value of the flock, '■

Every progressive keeper separates the light-colored honey from the dark fall honey. Unless the bird Is extremely valuable the ax is the best remedy for a sick chicken. —v The cow that is allowed to fall off in her milk flow is seldom giade to regain it at a profit. Skimp your sheep bn good pasture' and they will skimp you on mutton. Works both ways.

Rabbits do great damage to young trees during winter, especially when snow covers the ground.

The use of fruit Is a great help toward keeping In good health, and fßQra of it should be grown.

It's a mistake td expect the miraculous or abnormal from your cows. Better make them work naturally. if sows are expected to raise a fall la beat to wean the spring pigS 8 to 10 weeks old. J When there is good stuff in the feed box the heifer soon learns to be a good barn cow when night comes. I Do not try to winter the cows withj out grain. Wheat bran, corn-meal j and oil-meal will be found valuable. i S’.eep.. are comfort lovers and the man who neglects to provida them 1 with good, dry shelter makes a costly j error. ' Irregularity In feeding—that Is, a good ration one day and a poor one the next, will play havoc with the best of cows.
