FARM FACTS.

Don’t be a dead one. Get out of the rut. The proper handling of a farm calls for thought as well as work. It pays to study every field and crop. The waste of the farm will pay the Interest on the mortgage If handled right. Weed/j may be turned into seven-cent lambs and mutton. Half the money spent each year for wagons could be saved if better care was taken of the old ones. Make It a rule not to leave the old wagon out of doors over night. The farmer who raises some grain and keeps a few will find that a flock of 100 to 300 fowls can be m*de very valuable. The skim milk and the grain will be well paid for fed to good fowls.
