Rake and burun up the rubbish. That low, wet ground will do well in Herd’s grass.

Kill a sheep this fall and corn the meat. It is delicious.

Never feed more to the animals than ‘hey will eat up clean. .

Jrregular feeding is one contributory cause to horses acquiring the habit of bolting their feed. .

Put a mulch of strawy manure around the berry bushes and the grape vines, but don't put on too early.

Your first mistake is excusable, your, second, never; for no man has any business making the same mistake twice. ;

The dairyman’s profits come in during all the year. That is one reason why that type of farming is Dbetter than any other. -

A good herd of cows of one breed and in thrifty condition is the best kind of an index to the character of the farmer who owns them.

Colts will not raise themselves. Hit-and-miss mefthods never yet produced the best horses. Remember that raising colts pays if you give them intelligent care.

Careful feeding can keep up the milk flow. It does not pay to let it run down, for once a smaller yield is established it cannot be increased until after another calving. ..

The cold rains of the fall prove a great drain upon ther vitality of the live stock. The farmer that does not rrovide shelter for the animals is working against his own interests. -

Not only place the farm machinery under cover, but oil it up so that atmospheric dampness will not rust the exposed bright parts. A little time now will save days of trouble next spring. L )

A tidbit in the way of a piece of sugar or an apple will prove ideal in winning the confidence of the coit. Always have something for him, and you will be proud and delighted at the attention he will shower upon you.

Grade up your dairy cows by using a pure bred bull. It may take a few vears to do it, but each year saving the best of the heifer calves will give vou in time a herd of sows that will prove far more profitable than[ your present herd. ,

Raise the best crops you can and sell them at the best price you can, but don’t speculate. The farmer that begins to deal on the grain market has taken his#irst step to ruin, for nothing but failure and loss ever eame to the farmer who tried his hand at the game,

- An old swindle that is being tried on the farmers again is that of selling them a new and wonderful kind of wheat and binding them by a contract to return to the man (who thus places them in a way, to get rich), a certain number of bushels of the grain next vear. Look out for it.

Sheep that have been a long time without salt are apt to make themselves sick eating too much of it when the opportunity comes. Be regular in feeding it to them, or, better still, provide a box to which the flock can have access at all times. They will help themselves, and will eat only such as is good for them.

Never let the soil remain bare. Sun, rain -and wind will do it harm. It loses a greater amount of its finer particles by the leaching of rain water than does soil that is covered with some crop. It is well for'a soil to be covered most of the time, even if the crop grown has to be turned under. For this reason some agriculturists sow a crop in the early.fall when it can make only enough growth to partiy cover the ground during the winter. They plow this under in the spring.

Some fowls are weak because born that way. They inherited their weakness from the lack of materials or of vitality in the egg. Such birds will require a good deal of doctoring if they are to be kept alive and are the ones on which the most attention has to be bestowed. In any flock there is a certain per cent. of this kind of birds, and it does not pay to bother much with them. They .are good enough for eating and should be fattened and disposed of. A weak fowl probably cannot be made strong by any method of feeding, as they seem to, be weak in that thing we call the

Rape makes a good pasture for hogs. :

Plow the land only when it crumbles away from the plow. :

Currant bushes should be propagated, only from bushes. that bear the most and best fruit. .

Attend to the tile draining this fall. Perhaps all that ails that young orchard is the need of tiling.

Poison vines growing in the fence corners are poor testimonials o & farmer’s character. Dig 'em out:’ :

Good winter quarters must be provided for the sheep if they do well They need sunlight; fresh air and dry floor. ; :

Neglected to mark ghe turkeys and now there comes the 'sispute with the neighbors as to who’s who, and what's what. - :

Pound for pound, sheep manure is three times as valuable as cow manure. One argument in favor of keeping sheep on the farm. )

The manure spreader is a drudge saver. Many a farmer thinks he cannot afford one who would find that a few seasons’ work would more than pay for-it. ) :

The overhead rack is a poor place from which:to feed the horse. Besides being an unnatural way for the animal to feed, it causes a great deal of dust, which is a bad thing.

Have a hospital pen where the sheep that give evidence of being sick can be isolated and treated. Many a contagious disease can in this way be kept from spreading in a flock.

Pull a few of the tomato plants ® on which green tomatoes still hang and put in the cellar. They will ripen and you will continue to have ripe, fresh tomatoes until after Thanksgiving, it you manage right. -

The chief trouble with the party line is that some folks make hogs of themselves and monopolize the telephone in visiting to the prevention of the transaction of urgent business by other parties on the same line,

Watch the chickens when the farmer is going through the barnyard, and you can often learn a heap as to what kind of a man he is. {if the hens run as though in fear of their lives be sure that that farmer has a brutal strain in him which even the chicks have discovered.

Don’t let the fences get in bad repair. ~ It is not only an invitation to the stock to get breechy, but it makes the work of fixing them up much more difficult than would have been the case had they been fixed in season. Remember the old adage, “A stitch in time saves nine.” :

A road whick has successfully stood the test of two years at Mankato, Minn., and cost only 80 cents a lineal foot, was made by overlaying the ordinary road with crushed stone and gravel upon which a dressing of cement was spread followed by a coating of sand and then well rolled.

"In our opinlon the best time for a cow to come fresh is in the fall, for the stimulus which then comes to the lacteal glands will with proper feeding and care continue a good milk flow through the winter; then, with fresh grass in the spring, a still further stimulus is received. On ' the other hand, the cow that is fresh in the spring receives all the stimulus at once, then as fly time.comes she begins to shrink and when she goes on winter feed she falls off rapidly.

A farm paper suggests a use for old tin cans by -melting off the tops and bottoms and straightening out the tin and lining the inside of the chicken house. It certainly would make the walls and corners mice and rat proof, but how about the lice and mites? The small overlapping pieces of tin would prove ideal hiding places for the pests. This difficulty might be overcome, however, by whitewashing and making sure that the cracks were plastered flush with the whitewash.

We were interested in watching a busy bunch of chickens around one of our trees the other day, and on investigation found that they were putting forth their best pecks toward thinning the ranks of a host of bark lice that were swarming on the trunk of the tree. They were getting a square meal while at the same time they were ridding the tree of a pest, and thus making a double profit for me. The or¢hard is a good place for the poultry, 1 thought, as I contentedly passed on about my work.

Good vinegar can be made from apple parings in the following gvay: Take the parings and put them . n a six-gallon stone jar and tamp }hem with a potato masher till they are pretty well bruised, then pour water over them till covered. We continue to put parings in till they have been in a week or more, then we strain out the parings -and pour the cider into a keg and repeat the operation till one keg is full. We then lay an old piece of cotton cloth over the bung and let nature do the rest In twe months we have a keg of the finest

Why They Need Food Containing This Element. ] A noted veterinary authority says: “If hogs show a tendency to weakness on the legs, feed less corn and more bran.” The reason why bran is good for weak bones is, that it contains more phosphate than corn. But if the farmer has provided himself with a few bags of raw ground phosphate rock, he will find it an excellent thing to sprinkle a little of it on the floor of the pen every day. The hogs will root for it greedily. Two years ago we studied the phosphate experiment made with pigs, at the Wisconsin experiment station. It was most convincing of the truth of the statement we have made, declares the Hoard’'s Dairyman. Three pens of pigs, of three each, were taken for the experiment. One lot was fed as farmers ordinarily feed hogs; the second lot was fed the same as the first, except that a Ilittle phosphate was added to their food daily. The effect was astonishing in the increased strength of the second lot. But it was with the third lot that the full truth wasg unfolded. This lot was fed food from which all the phosphate had been extracted by washing, but the process left all other elements such as the nitrogen and potash, in full strength. The effect of this loss of phosphate on these pigs was very striking. They were stunted in size though well covered with fat, and at the stage of the experiment we saw them, they could not stand on their legs a minute. Get one of them upon his' feet for a moment and he would commence to falter at ollce. Here was a lesson in the prine¢iples of nutrition that was very valuable to the man who can take it. Phosphorus is one of the most important elements we have for the support of the brain, nerve and bone in animal life, and for seed growth in plants.

We have always noticed that our own hogs will at once commence to root in and eat the ground phosphate when we sprinkle ‘it on the floor of their pens. A small handful each day to each hog is valuable for the animal and the greater efficiency of the manure. 5 -

i#OG TRAP FOR RINGING TIME

Contrivance That Will Make the Task an Easy One.

The accompan;'lng illustration shows ‘2 handy device for ringing and separating hogs. The front and adjustable bars only are represented, but the body is in the shape of an oblong box, long and deep enough to' admit any sized hog and narrow. enough to prevent his turning around. ; The parts of the front illustrated as G C and H D should be made double{ with the pieces E and. F' between the strips. The double pieces of GC should be connected with four strong bolts, and the pieces of H D should have holes bored through them; ther the bars are put down and the forkéd end

| := e o) Gl eel L ]|C I CERE e ®x B Device for Ringing and Separating . Hogs. rests én a bolt, while an iron pin is put through H D. and the bar also, making it stationary. ‘ The adjustable hand bars A and B should be made of two by four lumber, and slightly hollowed out, so as to fit the neck of the hog. They are forked on the end and so fit the bolts that are in G C, :

The back of the trap is made like the front, says Prairie Farmer, but no bars are used. Instead a board is dropped down in place, thereby keeping the hog from backing out. The hog is admitted at the back, and when he gets to the front he is gripped around the neck with the bars. The iron pin is put through each bar and the holes of H D. He is held in this position while being rung after which one of the bars is slipped out and the hog passes on.

Catering to the Pork Market

In the selecting of the hoar for the head of the herd that is to produce pork for the market, it must be borne in mind tha‘. the public warnts big hams that are heavy with lean meat. At the same time it wants long sides that are firm and muscular, for the muscles are the lean meat. 1t is as easy to cater to what the market wants as it is to go in the opposite direction. The claim of some that the buyers of hogs will not pay the extra price for the extra things they demand is only partly true. . The ordinary buyer will get a good thing cheap when he can get it cheap, but he is not always able to hava his way.

STOCK NOTES.

: HOG SELF-FEEDER. Cenvenlent Receptacle for Holding Charcoal, Salt, Ete., for Animals. A good bt\x or self-feeder for charcoal, salt, etc., for hogs can be made from a box with a frame of four by four inch’ pine, strongly braced with two by four inch pine, set inside a shallow box with flaring sides, as indicated in the drawing. It should have a cone-shaped center. The ' corner posts of the box should be toe-nailed to the bottom. The whole or upright part should be made of matched lumber, leaving an open space on each of the four sides at the bottom of about three inches for the mixture to work down where the hogs can get it. The box should be covered to prevent rain getting the mixture wet. . Our plan in making cob c¢harcoal, continues the writer in Breeders’ Gazette, is to dig a pit five feet deep and about five feet in diameter. If the soil is such that there is danger of caving, wall the pit up with brick or stone. Have a sheet iron cover made large enough to cover the top of the npit. Start fire in pit and add cobs as fast as those burning come to a glow or red coals. Keep doing this till the pit is full. Then pour on one or more barrels of water in which enough salt has been dissolved to make it quite salty. About two pounds of copperas pul

Then eover the pit with the iron cover, being sure that no air can get under the cover ta cause it again to burn. Leave till the next day when you will have a pit full of a fine mixture that: your hogs will eat in preference to anything you can offer them. Wood ashes in proportion of eight parts ashes to one part salt will also be a good mixture to keep before hogs. ' :

AUTUMN AND WORK. HORSES. Do Not Negiect Them or Half-Feed Them When Hard Work Is Over. It always seems like a cruel, as well as a risky practice, to work the horses through the spring, summer and fall, feeding them well and grooming them, then as soon as the heavy work is finished take the grain away from them and turn them out to shift for themiselves. In the first place, their systems are not accustomed to the grass feed, and it is a shock ‘to them—an abrupt let-down. It is no wonder if they lose flesh rapidly and their general appearance becomes one of sad dejection and unthriftiness. ”

The frost-bitten grass is -not sufficient to sustain them; they eat a great deal of it, get podgy, lose flesh and ambition rapidly. The system is not prepared to stand against the cold, frosty nights and stormy days, and the consequence is that they catch cold and some attain that condition of stomach and lungs called the heaves. The thoughtless owner often attributes the depreciation in value and usefulness to bad luck, instead of bad management. {

I believe it is a good plan, continues this correspondent of the Orange Judd Farmer, to give the work horses a run to grass after the heavy work is doné, but would not take all the grain away, nor leave them out nights and during cold storms. The run at fall grass will save part of the hay, but it should not constitute the whole diet. It is bad m&nhagement to let the horses run down in flesh now - when they can be smustained onmuch less grain, and at lesa cost, than they can be put in condition with toward spring. Exercise in the field each day is very benefiefal- and the taste of grass is a change which they relish; but do not go to extremes and overdo the matter. Ths prudent man who has in mind the comfort of his animals, as well as the financial value of them, will keep a watchful eye on them and jealously guard them’ against conditions that will depreciate them in appearance, value and useful ness. ; : GIVE THEM A CHANCE. Sheep Require a Change of Pasture to Do Their Best, - : In Missouri, and probably in almost all sections of the country, we have land th?t will furnish .good pasturage for sheep and goats, yet we do not consider it of value for pasture for other animals, writes a Missouri farmer in Farmers’ Voice. For that reason we keep the sheep on the pasture that nothing else will eat and expect best results. Often this is the best of pasturage, but a sheep requires a change, even more than other animals. If we recognize the fact that sheep are profitable on almost all of our farms we must remember that it is to our interest to get the best pos sible out of the sheep, and that can be done only by having several pastures ‘and changing the sheep from one te }the other as occasion demunds. I know it is usually conceded tha® a sheep will live and thrive where & cow or horse would starve, and thia is often a good reason for keeping them. Yet it is poor economy to keep the flock on the same pasture because lyo,u need the other pasturé for the cattle. Try changing the flock every few weeks, using three different gzs—} | tures, and note the imrov“emgnt. ¥ tle ]and horses may be pastured on the grass when not in use by the ‘sheep. It is simply the change that ‘does them good. They should never ‘be kept on low, flat land long at a . Must Be Considered. ~ With the increased value of pasR 2 e st e N

Old Clock as It Looks To-Day.

240 or more years,old, and it was only by approaching ifj closely that observeers could detect evidences of the weight of years bearing on the finelycolored mahogany. A close look at the dial would also indicate it was fabricated very many years ago, but at a cdsual glance it appeared almost like a product of to-day: This is due to a work of careful restoration which is wonderful in its way. Only a few megnths ago the clock was a wreck, badly battered by the same old Father Time whose doings it was wont to record. Then it was the property, descended to him through two preceding generations, of G. F. Muller of Sewickley. Joseph F. Taylor, an expert in clocks, who lives at Emsworth, heard of the ancient and useless, save as a relic, clock, and procured it. At the end of five months’ patient and persevering work Mr, Taylor had the old timepiece in the perfect state of restoration that won it approving comments at the sesquicentennial collection.

LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION

The increased use of whiskey for ame back rheumatism is causing considerable discussion among the medical fraternity. It is an almost infallible cure when mixed with certain other ingredients and taken properly. The following formula is effective: “To one-half pint of good whiskey add one ounce of Toris Compound and one ounce Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take in tablespoonful doses before each meal and before retiring.” Toris compound is a product of the laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceutical Co., Chicago, but it as well as the other ingredients can be had from any good druggist.
