TLe best land for strawberries is & gsandy loam: A cattle feeder should be encouraged by every corn seller. _ The farmer can produce‘clean milk, but it means added expense. The harrow is an excellent tool for cultivating potatoes the first time. It ils deemed an injury to let the sheep carry its fleece into the hot seagon. . Scaly legs on hens are caused by a small parasite insect working underneath the skin. e The colt should early be taught the use of the halter, and made to know that his master i{s his friend.

All hog raisers know that corn will go twice as far in feeding hogs in summer if the hogs are kept on good pasture. . -

Unless one is gardening on a large scale: it is cheaper to -buy cabbags plants for the early crop than to growrthem. -

The weight of the total number of eggs laid in this country annually amounts to 970,358 tens, so someone has figured it out.

Do not let the manure accumulate in the cow stall so that the animal must ne with her hind quarters higher than bher front quarters. 3

Never buy a brood sow with short legs and short, chunky body. Sfie must have big feeding ecapacity in order to produce plenty of milk.

In manuring land, spread-it on thinly. It is much better to put eight loads of manure on each of two acres than to put the whole 16 upon one acre. g : s

As a rule, the average farmer allows his hogs to get along on slim rations in summer, at a time when they could make most profitable growth.. .

Nothing i{s more injurious to the poults than tainted or infected meat of any kind, as it will disturb their bowels in a very few hours and cause great trouble. '

Weeding out the poorest cows is the best way to improve the record of any dairy in the amount of milk and butter produced in proportion to the number of cows kept. - i

So ‘many fruit trees were ordered this spring for planting in British Columbia that the nursery supply of stock suited for that region was not nearly great enough to meet the demands.

Sunshine is a great purifier and natural disinfectant and -the poultry houses should be so " arranged that there ‘will be an abundance of sunshine in the buildings on fair days.

Nature’s greatest purifying agents are sunshine and air. Soils need thorough aeration that are frequently fertilized with animal manures; then they will not so soon become non-pro-ductive. 5 -

In buying a bull for use in a milking ‘herd, look fdr beyond the animal himself and see what kind of milkers his dam and granddams were and what kind of milkers his male ancestors were able to get. :

Sow fodder corn thickly, either with a grain drill or corn planter, at the rate of 30 to 50 pounds per acre, cultivate one way, cut with a corn binder, shock in the field, allow to stand until fed or hauled to the barn.

Every hen that does not pay for her keep by laying eggs should be sold at once. There are thousands of hens in the poultry yards that are losing money for their owners. Find out whether you have such hens, and, if sO, get rid of them. -

In setting out cuttings, if willows, currants, Virginia creepers or any other stock of this sort, put the cuttings well down into the soil. One or two buds above .ground is quite all that is needed. A cutting a foot long may be put down ten inches into the soil and two above. : i

Sod land should not be used for strawberries until it has had at least one year’s cultivation under some crop such as corn or potatoes, and then manure heavily and treat it right. Some of the experiment stations recommend that such land be furrowed late in the fall to destroy most of the insects over winter, , :

The ideal sheep pasture is blue grass and white clover. It makes the driest, closest sod, and dry land is best for sheep. There is no sod that will produce more pasture and no sod that will make a better winter pasture than plue grass sod protected free from pasturing through the autumn season. A winter pasture for breeding ewes, where they may run out during clear, mild weather is almost a necessity, in the matter of exercise.

Keep records of all kinds.

Cabbage has several insect snémies

* Variety in the ration is necessary for laying hens.

The application of lime to cabbage soil is highly commended.

Don't forget. the daily water supply for the hens at this season.

The sucking lambs always do better after the mother is shorn.

The lambs shoudd nibble at grain and hay before they are two weeks old. . : }

It is sometimes said that a good breeder always has his ideal animal in his mind. : '

A mule is no morefprone- to kick than a horse unless he ‘iis taught to do so by bad treatment. | :

-Cubbage and all other plants of the cabbage family require a very fertile and cool, moist soil for good growth.

Too often the poultry house is a filthy, unsanitary place, full of stag: nant air and crowdej far beyond its capacity. | :

It is a significant; fact that corn this year at this seasdn is going down, instead of up, as is the usual custom in spring. : v :

What we want to !do in working a horse for the first fime is to teach it to do things whi?zh it has never done before. il

‘When the butter i§ well drained it is ready to salt, and this is done in the churn when the butter is in granular form. i

Begin to cultivatelmusk melons as soon as the plants Lan be seen and continue cultivation till after the fruit begins to set.

pNever use a milking tube if it can be possibly avoided as there is much danger of infecting the éntire quarter by the use of the tube. Cowpeas is a crop that has been growing in popularity in recent years, and frgm present gappearances, will soon rank as a gcffral farm crop. - It pays to pasture pigs, but if the pigs.root up the pagture it will pay to ring:them. Pastureisod is too valuable to be destroyed en it can easily be avoided. ' ¥ It is true that farmer can, by a careful selectionjand examination, materially change the constituents of his corn, thus growing a corn that is of higher feeding (value for his farm animals. ' ' . Don’t forget that the temperature of the cream at churning should be 56 to 58 degrees Fahf. in summer and 60 to 62 degrees in | winter. The best chuiaing results will be had at these respective temperatures. A ‘good hen is pxpected to lay in a year about.five times her weight in eggs. This means a reproductive process on an average, at least every third day during the year, or perhaps, in rare lnstances!f, every other day. When doing the tree planting, do not forge’i to put] a few trees in a corner of the pasture fields, if there is such a thing as{ a fenced pasture on the farm. Protbet these for a few years, and they |will protect the stock for many more.i The Minnesofa experiment station says barley haJ the advantage over flax for cleamnﬂthe land of weeds, besides being oftdn fed on the farm at a profit over the market price. At present prices, however, flax is in the lead, and good flax land will undoubtedly return a good profit. ) After the young turkeys are sixteen to twenty days old begin to feed lightly on cracked corn, wheat, etc., and ‘occasionally ked cornmeal or johnnycake, which {is simply cornmeal mixed -with either sweet skimmilk or water and a yery little salt, and thoroughly ‘baked. "This is moistened slightly before feeding.

Drainage p#events loss of crops and labor from stagnant water; permits air to. circulbte more freely through the soil, carrying with it fertilizing properties, making a warmer soil that can be cultiyated early, for dry soil works ‘easier| than wet, roots go down deeper in it f;and get a greater supply of plant food, and more moisture in a dry season prevents baking and cracking. | : ;

Seedling plants of all kinds should be ready to transplant as soon as the character leaf begins to form, which is about three weeks from time of planting seed. One hundred plants to each flat is the usual quantity for box plants for commercial use, but if choice plants are wanted they should again be planted to 50 in a box, thus giving them 'more room to spread and develop in proportion to their size.

What are commonly called water sprouts are rank growing shoots that come out from the main branches of the trees, and usually, where severe pruning has been dome® and nature tries to replace the missing branches. However sometimes such sprouts will come where.jthere is no easily noticed reason for them. To keep them cut off is no damage whatever to the tree, provided branches enough are left to fill out the head of the tree properly.

Hens lay soft'shelled eggs because they lack the necessary elements that make up the mineral parts of the shell. A laying hen requires 12.2 per cent. of mineral matter to make an egg, and having only |about 3.8 per cent. in her body, which must be maintained, fif she is fed upon corn alone, she must have eventually weak bones, and lay soft-shelled eggs. Some hens, however, are predisposed to laying softshelled eggs. It is due to a weakness in' properly taking care of the supply of mineral matter.

Thep you lknow what you have. It requires grain as well as roughgness to produce butter fat, and butter fat at present prices is what pays. | A liberal banking of sheds on the %north side will prove a boon to the ' cows when the cold weather comes.

The Babcock tester never finds that very good cows are owned by a poor feeder. :

Remember even the best dairy cow cannot pay good returns without plenty of good feed. ' A pail of milk standing in a foul stable for ten minutes will absorb enough bad odors to spoil it. The condition of ‘the animal as well as the condition of the market should determine the time,to sell stock.

Before warm weather comes prepare a cool place for the milk and cream. Make the milk and cream room c¢ool, sweet and clean.

Some of the biggest dairy farms pay the smallest interest on capifal invested, and some of the smallest pay the biggest. Some men are land and COW DOOT.

The dairyman who does not use the Babcock ‘tester in determining the value of his cows should sell his dairy, buy a grocery, and sell sugar by guess. s

The man who does not get more than two dollars returns from every dollar's worth of feed his cows consume has not yet learned the first lesson of good dairy management. »

PUMP FOR WATERING STOCK

Detailed Instructions, With Illustration, Showing How to Make One Cheaply. A pump is an absolute necessity on any farm and, the nearer it is located to the live stock, the better.

Get check valves 3, inch to an inch in size and pipes to fit. Bore a hole in the side of pump barrel near the bottom, put in a nipple and screw on a check valve. Then screw on an elbow with the opening upward. In the bottom of barrel bore a 11%-inch hole and put a piece of leather over it. Leather should be put on the inside of barrel and nailed down on only one side so it can flap up_and -down. Make the plunger of hard wood, making it to fit rathgr loosely on the inside of barrel. For a rod get a straight pole 131 inches square and fasten it securely to the plunger. When this is done all that remains is to make a box frame for rod running to pump handle and a frame to run the pipe out of the top of well. L

To do this take boards long enough to reach down into the water, cut the ends off square and plane them smooth. Then, using a square, make a box 4 inches square on the inside. ‘The barrel with its valves should be sunk below the surface of the water 1% to 2 feet. By putting two elbows on the upper end of pipe the water will be thrown downward into pail or trough. The pump can be let down into the well by nailing cleats on the sides, but one must be careful not to let the nails go through into the barrel and thereby spoil the pump. This pump can only be used in shallow wells, as it could not be made strong enough for a deep well. ' ;

SUCCULENCE IN MILK FOODS Water Which Cow Gets in Her Food Rather Than That She Drinks That Goes Into Milk. (By CHAS. C. WENTZLER.) Succulence is a term applied to foods which contain a certain proportion of water. Milk is 84 per cent. water. In summer cattle get all the succulence they require. In winter succulent foods have to be furnished if we expect to keep up the milk flow. It is the water which the cow gets in her food rather than the water which she drinks that goes into the milk. Much of the water which she drinks is used by nature to carry off certain chemicals in the system for which she has no longer any use. The excess of nitrogen is carried off in this -way and gives this expelled water an ammonia odor. All grains coutain snme water, but not enough. silo and roots are rich In water content. When her ration fs made up of a share of succulence in winter the cow keeps up her normal supply. But it is due to this principle that an improperly winterted cqw, increases her milk flow when g¢he is returned to pasture in the spring. :

RAISING THE HEIFER CALVES

Two Important Factors to Keep in Mind In Producing Future Milk ; Cows.

Within only a very few years it will be as difficult to buy good cows or good heifer calves as it will be to buy good land, and the man who begins now to breed to good stock and saves and properly raises his heifer calves will be in a postton to make money in the production of milk or butter or to sell stock at high figures.

There are two important things to keep in mind in producing calves for future milk production. One is that the dam shall be of known good record and the other is that the sire shall be of a line of dams of exceptionally high record, Bréed only to the sire that is known positively to be of a high producing strain, even if the season cost twice or three times as much as that from one of unknown merit. Five or ten dollars extra in this mat. ter will make a difference in the fu

The production of calves in the dairy busines is a necessity in order to have the cows freshen yearly, or at regular intervals. As far as feed and care 'are concerned, it is almost as easy to -raise a $lOO calf as it is to raise a $lO one. There is good profit in the former, but absolutely no profit in the latter. 'ln fact, a cheap calf consumes much more feed than it will sell for on the open market. Many a calf sold for veal at, say $B, consumes $lO or $l2 worth of milk before it is marketed. For this reason many dairymen either kill or give away their calves at birth. Of course all male calves, except those of high grade saved for breeding purposes, must be disposed of at. an early age at no profit, except on farms where pasture is very plentiful and they are ‘saved for beef steers. But the raising of a good heifer calf will mere than com: pensate the loss. The illustration shows the head of Ferris Golden Winnie, a champion 2 year-old Jersey heifer, owned by the Wisconsin State Farm.

SHOVEL-KINK VERY USEFUL

Excellent Implement for Digging Up Muddy Ground—Read!ly Cleans Itself. :

A railroad grader lately vianiting the writer showed him the shovel-kink

herewith illustrated. As the idea seems good, we pass it along, writes J. E. Bridgeman in Farm and Ranch. The writer was opening up a small ditch that drained one corner of a cow pasture. The ground being very muddy, the dirt stueck to the shovel, causing us to do more or less cleaning of same. Our visitor remarked that it was not at all necessary, and proved it by the simple method herewith illustrated.

The six three-eighth-inch holes were drilled through the shovel, and it at once caused same to scour. Even the fﬂ.’ﬁﬂ‘ﬂ'&ﬁ o i, i | ¢ ‘ k. (e e dr 0‘ '» M&i’ '“"* i ﬁd';" eAI 1%1 i e o I"‘ f", Y L e olllm ) ‘, ’." "L v A Shovel Kink. thick mud would readily leave the blade. The holes, I suppose, allowed the air to escape from the suiface between the shovel and the dirt. At any rate, the shovel readily cleaned itself. " Cow Testing Organizations. In some parts of the country the farmers are forming county cow testing organizations through which they hope to weed out the deadhead .boarders from their herds. One small association which conducted this work last season found many cows which were drones supported by others of the herd. These have gone to the block and the dairy business has been put upon a more profitable basis. This should be an incentive to every other section of the country to take similar steps, and while on this point why would it not be a good idea to tag the owners?

Cheap Roofilg Paper. -

A cheap grade of roofing paper makes a good lining for the cow sta ble. It may be put on the inside and held in place by plastering lath or thin boards nailed through to the out side board. This will keep out ths cold winds and keep in the warxth.

DICKINSON ON WORLD fTRIP

Secretary of War Btarts on Journey Which Recalls Taft's “Cupid voyage.”

Washington.—Secretary of War Dickinson is off on a trip that will take him around the world. Several years ago Willlam H. Taft, while the head of the war department, made such a voyage and it came to be Enown as the “Cupid voyage.” At least two weddings resulted from that long jaunt, that of Miss Alice Roosevelt and Representative Nicholas Longworth being among them. In this trip of Secretary Dickinson's, however, the party consists mostly of married folk.

The flowers and vines are planted in wire baskets, semi-circular in shape, 8o that two just fill each urn. When the flowers in one lose their fragrance it is to be replaced immediately by another. . A sufficient number of baskets are being tended by a gardener so that fresh flowers always will be in the urng. The flowers were chosen because of their ability to withstand the sun and winds, and it is not expected to be necessary to replace the baskets more than three or four times in the summer. The insides of the iron urns are lined with moss to protect the roots from the heat of the metal. The idea to have the flowers on the poles was obtained from public buildings in Europe by Henry C. Flower, president of the Fidelity Trust company. ; Fish Answer to Names. ~ Boston. — BSuperintendent Leonard W. Ross of Mt.
