Don’t let the animals waste it by careless methods of feedirg. Study your flock from now on with ™~ view of sorting over for mating in the early spring. The satisfied farmer is the farmer who finds satisfaction and stimulus in doing everything well. If you want to improve your. farmland put it down to clover, field by field, and pasture hozs on it Hens do not relish scratching in damp, heavy litter. See that plenty of straw or leaves that are perfectly dry is supplied. -] Keep the henhouses clean. Great piles of frozen manure underneath the perches is not a very good testimonial for the owner and not much encouragement for the hens to do their best. ' ILeaks in old shingle roofs can be more surely fixed ¥y the use of strips of tin than by using shingles, as the latter are apt to raise the edges of those about it and make the leak worse, Cows that are to calve in winter or early spring should have about six quarts of some vegatable every day for two weeks before calving. If this course is pursued there will be no milk fever nor any other of the many troubles incident to calving time. -

One must understand their incubator, and must keep close watch of It, if good results are to be secured. It is so easy to be careless and lay failure of eggs to hatch upon the incubator. The best of machines require intelligent handling.

Don’t let your farmers’ meetings drift into a mutual -admiration society in which nothing better is talked about than neighborhood gossip, which pats those present on the back and criticises the absent neighbors. Make such meetings profitable by taking up real farm problems and discussing them. . .

Have you taken an inventory of the farm yet? No business house of any size in the world but that takes an accounting of its stock at the end of the yvear preparatory to the new vear's business. Does not the farmer need to know what he has on hand and what amount of business he has done during the“yvear before he is in shape to intelligently begin another year's work? .

It's not brawn alone which makes for successful farming. Brains are needed on the farm as never before. The man who is going to reap the rewards which the farm can be made to yvield must be equipped for the task. He must not only have a pretty ‘comprehensive knowledge of the principles governing agriculture, but he must possess practical business qualities which will enable him to market hig crops after he has raised them.

A Canadian inventor is said to have devised a plow which cuts two slices of soil as it passes through the earth, one from the surface soil and one Yrom the subsoil. The first layer is turned over into a ditch cut by -the previous run, while- the second layer of subsoil is turned over on the first layer. In this way seeds and weeds are completely buried, while the rich subsoil {s brought to the surface. The plow is formed with two shares, one placed in front of the other and the rear one makes a deep cut. The forward share is of such form as to force the layer of soil it cuts to one side, and at the same time turns it-over. Just how effective such a plow would prove could only be demonstrated by actual use. It sounds good, but would fts work? -

‘The foot and mouth disease, or aphthous fever, which has been causing so much concern in the east, but which has been held in check by the vigorous and prompt quarantine measures of the government, is a highly contagious fever, characterized by eruptions of blisters in the mouth, around the crown of the feet and between the toes. It is spread by contact with the diseased animals, or with manure, hay or anything else they have touched, or the buildings or cars that have harbored them. Though ordinarily considered a disease of cattle, it affects hogs, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, cats, and, sometimes, humans. The disease is seldom fatal to humans, and is confined chiefly to children who have used unboiled milk from infected cattle. In animals the disease makes its appearance in from three to six days after exposure to infectlon. The first symptom is a chill, ‘ollowed by a high fever. In a day or two small blisters about the size of a sea appear in the mouth. . The mortality is usually one to three per cent., sometimes reaching five per cent. It is more fatal in calves that have bsen fed on infect¢éd milk. Foul foot or ground itch is quite common with cattie that stand in filth, but this is readfly distinguished from foot and mouth disease, as in the latter the inflammah,hhmmmlteadofh ing uniformly spread over the foot

Some farmers who have tried it think that the best way to get land in condition for alfalfa is to grow a crop or two of cowpeas.

Now is the time to make up your mind what kind and how many trees you will set out in the spring. Of course you are going to set out some. -If the wound left by the removal of the large limb is not covered with paint or wax it will decay in a few vears and cause a bad place in the tree. Not so much danger of overfeeding the poultry at this season of the year as there was during the summer. feed liberally if you want to get the eggs.

Heavy draft teams are not for fast road travel. See that your hired help does not run them on returning home from town after the delivery of the load. .

Too much earth in sacked potatoes is judged as adulteration by Kansas officials. We’'ve heard of sand in sugar but sand with potatoes is a new adulteration.

In your feeding arrangements have it so that each animal has an equal chance at the feed. Prevent crowding by feeding the sheep in racks with partitions for each animal. . As soon as any animal shows signs of sickness separate from the rest and put on short rations and watch close. Sometimes a-day or two on short rations will strajghten them up. A dog with only a bark and a big appetite has no proper place on any farm, but a good dog trained to be of service will prove himself a valuable adjunct to the farm equipment. When the chemists of the department of agriculture succeed in manufacturing paper from cornstalks the farmer may find them too valuable to feed as roughage. Who knows? i - It never pays to buy cheap harness. You cannot afford to take the risks which go with such goods. Many a serious accident is caused by the harness giving way at a critical time. One farmer who, during the season, has vegetables and fruits to sell, has adopted the plan of advertising which is simple but effective. He had a lot of large advertising cards 12x15 inches, made at the printing office, When the first crop is ready for sale, that is, rhubarb, he puts a printed “rhubarb” card on a signboard fastened to a post in the door-yard, where everybody can see it when passing by. When the rkubarb season. is over, he puts up another card: ‘Berries for Sale.”” Next he puts up “Plums for Sale,” later “Apples for Sale,” and so on. This farmer reports that the method proves very effective and that he sells a large part of his crops to people whe come to the farm, which saves hir the time and troukle of going to market with them.

WEEDS THE PERSISTENT FOE OF THE FARMER

ent kinds which are most abundant upon their farms. Sometimes the weed is known by the right name and the seed is not known at all. Sometimes the seed is well recognized because perhaps, millers- and elevator men have refused to buy grain containing it at the normal. price, while the weed which produces the seed is not recognized. It is not at all uncommon to find persons who have been damaged for years by the growth of destructive weed pests, wholly uncertain as to the .possible methods the weed may have of reproducing itself. One of the commonest .questions that this department has to answer is: “Does this weed grow from the root vear after year or does it grow simply from the seed?” This is such a very simple question that one could suspect anyone might be able to answer it, should he take the trouble to make a few daily observations during the farming operations. Naturally, the answer is of direct importance when deciding as to what method to pursue in attempting to control the weed. The person who does not know the habits

It ought to be easy for an observing person to decide the proper steps to take in cropping and cultivating in order to give the particular weed pest the hardest possible conditions under which to thrive. > Experiments in spraying to eradicate weeds in cereal grain fields have been conducted at this experiment station from season to season since 1896.. The preliminary field trials in 1896 were, perhaps, the first experi ments of the kind conducted in any country. Since that date various experimenters have recommended either copper or iron sulphate for the de‘truction of weeds under varying con ditions. . Each year our experiments have reulted in success of such marked nature that the writer feels safe in asserfing that when the farming public have accepted this method of attacking weeds as a regular farm operation that the gain to the country at large will be much greater in monetary consideration than that which has been afforded by auny other single piece of

investigation applied to field work in agriculture, not even excepting the now generally used formaldehyde

method of seed disinfection which has saved to the state of North Dakota annually, wheat and other cereals to the value of several millions of dollars.

The writer is not over sanguine in this matter and recognizes that this method of destroying weeds cannot replace the approved methods of eradication by cultivation., seed cleaning, crop rotation, manure composting, proper pasturing and vigilant hand work. There are, however, great areas in the north and western cereal growing regions which, until sufficient people have occupied the land to break it up into small farms, must be cropped upon the large -plan character¥stic of cereal and meadow production. This allows the introduction of annual and other types of weeds in spite of the best efforts of:cultivators. Proper plowing and good cultivation alone do not prevent constant . introduction of wind-blown seeds, and, once established, many of the worst cropdestroying weeds become permanent because of their peculiar methods of rooting and propagation by disjointed or broken parts. Many seed so profusely ‘that the ground quickly becomes filled to the depth of the furrow slice with seeds which remain viable from season to season according as proper air and moisture conditions are available. If, therefore, this method of attacking weeds by means of chemical sprays is one-quarter or one-half as successful in general operation as the writer is. willing to vouch for, the money returns to the

spring wheat growing states must far exceed the hopes of the most optimistic. Suffice it to say, the proper handling of spraying machinery and proper spraying at the proper time gives : S 1"’! 7 - ,43‘;:2‘%{!}- I \ \ 3 ’—%"_,, »;/'f’h" ',/.'f”k .

By Dr. David Roberts,Veterinary In the care of all farm animals it is well to keep a close watch of each individual in order to detect at once any illness or irregularity that may be caused by one thing or another. If an animal is sick it is important to know it at once. As an aid in diascovering an abnormal condition of the animal system we would suggest the following method of examination: Take the temperature of the animal by placing a fever thermometer into the rectum, allowing it to remain there from three to five minutes. The normal temperature of a cow is 101 -degrees. The normal temperature of a horse is 100 degrees; sheep 101 degrees. Take the pulse of the animal, which can be found at the angle of the lower jaw bone. The normal beat of a cow’s pulse is from 40 to 50 per minute -and that of a horse from 33 to 40 per minute. :

~ Place the sick animal in a well disinfected and dry box stall with plenty of bedding and sunlight. In cold ‘weather place a blanket on the animal, feed sparingly with digestible food such as bran mashes made of lingeed tea; keep manger sweet and clean, » " It is always necessary for new milch cows to be given warm water. An injection of warm water should be given all sick animals excepting those afflinted with looseness of the bowels.

A VARIETY OF EXPEDIENTS. Little Sinner Was Providing for Fu- : - ture Emergencies. Muriel, a five-year-old subject of King Edward VII, has been thought by her parents too young to feel the weight of the rod, and has been ruled by moral suasion/alone. But when, the other day, she achieved disobedience three times in five minutes, more vigorous measures were -called for, and her mother took an ivory paperknife from the table and struck her smartly across her little bare legs. Muriel looked astounded. Her mother explained the reason for the blow. Muriel thought deeply for a moment. Then, turning toward the door with a grave and disapproving countenance, she announced in her clear little English voice:

Physicians treated him for nearly a year ‘without helping him 'any. His head, face, and neck were covered with large scabs which he would rub- until they fell off. Then blood and matter would run out and that would be worse. Friends coming to see him said that if he got well he would be disfigured for life. When it seemed as if he could possibly stand it no longer, I used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. That was the first night for nearly a year that he slept. In the morning there was a great change for the better. In about six weeks he was perfectly well. Our leading physician recommends Cuticura for eczema.
