Knew What It Was.

It was a nice little home, built specially to the owner’s plans, and had everything up to date, with a few reminders of the good old days. For instance, there was a sun dial placed at the foot of the garden. On the first sunny day the owner compared his own reliable gold chronometer with Old Sol’s timepiece, and found there was a difference of two hours. Obviously the figures on the san dial had been misplaced. The builder was sent for and arrived. “Have a look at that sun dial again," said the owner, significantly. “It makes the time 11:00 a. m., and as a matter of fact the correct time la 1:00 D- m." The builder looked long and earnestly at his handiwork, and then slapped his leg. “Ah!" he exclaimed, with a proud ring in his voice. “I see wot it la, str. Tbsrefs something wrong with the sun."

NOTES from MEADOWBROOK FARM

By William Pitt

Get a separator. Old ewes are unprofitable. Plant cowpeas In the orchard. The value of a cow is hard to guess. Don't forget to brace the end post of any fence or trellis. Pigs that show signs of thumps should be forced to take exercise. A little vaseline rubbed into cuts or chapped teats will soon heal them up. Commercial fertilizer, when properly used, will Increase the yield of crops. Cm The silo is a time saver when it comes to feeding a large number of animals The wheel hoe will save many a backache and do the work of three hand hoes. If your horse is a mule, remember to speak kindly to him whenever you fasten the traces. The same rule applies when he is only a “boss.” Corn silage and alfalfa make an excellent ration for dairy cows, and good yields of milk have been reported where nothing else was fed. The old neglected orchard, with its ' dead leaves and wormy apples. Is a blot on the face of the earth. Trim, spray, cultivate and get big returns. Nothing is so salable in the stock line Just now as a good dairy cow. The raising of purebred milk cows as an Industry should receive more attentlon. . _ A good, balanced feed for a hone is one quart of oats and one of bran twice each day, when idle, and three times a day when at work —substituting corn for oats occasionally; and half a bundle of fodder, or one good forkful of hay, three times a day st regular hour*.

One reason why It; Is well to let the new calf run with the mother a day of two Is because it is better able to take the swelling from the udder than the hand milker is. Burn the diseased branches so that the other trees will not be contamlated. It will also be advisable to open the heads of peach trees, remove the surplus branches and take off the water sprouts. Avoid sudden changes in the feed of your hogs. Diminish the old feed gradually and make up the shortage with the proportionate amount of the new. Sudden changes in diet will retard development.

POULTRY

Renew the nests often with clean material. Field peas make most excellent feed for laying hens. Feeding clover is a preventive of soft shelled eggs. It takes knowledge, experience and skill to produce a good egg. The more comfortable and happy the hen, the more eggs she will lay. A hen should have all the green feed she will eat every day of her life. A turkey will consume more grit than any of the poultry kept on the farm. New blood is a necessity, if one intends to build up the egg-laying and market qualities of his flock. After mated, give your birds the best sanitary conditions possible and keep the houses free from lice and mites. Great care should be exercised that breeding stock, young chicks, or eggs for hatching, be secured from flocks which are free from white diarrhea Infection. Air-slaked lime sifted or scattered over the dropping boards will assist the cleaning process materially, and also take up much of the dampness from the droppings. Save the small potatoes and other vegetables that would otherwise go to waste and feed them to the fowls. They will help In keeping up the egg yield in cold weather. A scratching hen and opportunity to get out in the sun in moderate weather are Important to the health and) thrift of hens In winter, and consequently to winter egg production. Room, exercise, food, warmth, kindness, pure water and a management that will conduce to the comfort of the hens generally, win keep the egg basket full in winter and make winter poultry growing profitable.
