One often hear on a cold winter morning, "If wa could savo soma of this weather for thoae hot July days." A portion of it can b sated by har vesting and storing ft supply of Ico. . On some farms the loss of fruit, vege tables and dairy products orrery year would almost build an les house.

This ts not an uncommon Question and it is a hard ono to answer for conditions- vary. It depends upon tho kind of cows kept, upon tho markot for tho products nnd surplus stock and upon tho dairyman. Collego of Agrlculturo suggests that this mattor bo given moro considera tion this year than ovor before. Tho slro is half tho herd, and tho cows 'and tho dairyman roprescnt tho other jhalf. A scrub bull can do untold damago in a herd of good cowb and a good puro bred bull can do wondors in building up a herd of good cows. A brooder must decldo for himself ( how .much ho can afford to pay for a good puro brod bull, but ho must 1 not get tho idea that a $500 bull is necessarily a good ono, or a $5.00 or a $50.00 bull is a cheap ono; for such 'a bull may proo to bo far moro costly ' in tho long run than tho higher priced ono.

Many flocks of hens In Nebraska have less than one-half of tho amount The Tarn PkwPERiTYlk Just of water they nood for body main tenance and ogg production. When it is known that ono dozon medium sized eggs contain about a pint of water and that 55 per cont of tho body wolght is water Uio importance of liberal quantities of fresh clean water cannot bo ovcrdsttmated. Water is necessary in tho crop of tho lion to keep tho foood, which Is Btorod thoro, from becoming cougosted. THls would rosult In a condition which Is sometimes called "crop-bound." Plenty of fresh wntor kcopB tho food soft which allows It to pass uniform ly down tho gullot Into tho glaulular stomach. In tho glandular stomach quantities of dlgestivo juices aro poured on to tho food whore it passes on to tho gizzard. Tho action of the gizzard grinds tho contonts into a very flno pasto. From thoro it goes flown through tho intostlnos rocolv ing dlgestivo juices at dtfforont points until It is a soft solution in tho largo intestines. Absorption of tho food into tho blood streams occur whllo it Is In a liquid state in tho intestines Tho absorbed food is carried to all parts of the body In tho blood stream. Wator is necessary for every ono of theso processes. Many flocks pro duco fow eggs bocauso they lack wator. A this timo of tho year it is well to take tho chill from tho wator boforo giving it to the honB, slnco they will frequently rofuso suf ficient quantities of it If It is lco cold.

Artlclo 1. Whon ono thinks of winter birds ho starts with "bhow birds" for thoy nro closest associated with bird Ufa or tho cold days. Tho wlso men who wrlto books about birds toll us thero la no special kind of birds which aro namod bhow birds but It is a nnmo which has been given to llttlo birds which nro sometlmos aeon whon thoro Is snow on tho ground. Thoso birds nro usually sparrows and aro as com mon In wlntor as In summer. Tho sparrow which is seen about tho towns nnd farm buildings Is tho European Houso Sparrow or English Sparrow. It was imported to Amer ica from Europo and from a fow pairs has sproad ovor tho wholo country. Although Bong nnd history aro full of flno sontlment for tho snow bird, thero Is llttlo sympathy for tho Eng lish Sparrow from thoso who know him. Ho la filthy, qunrrolsomo, n bul ly and a fightor. In many places ho has drlvon tho natlvo birds Into tho romoto places. Blue Mrds wero form erly common in Lincoln County but tho sparrow haa drlvon thorn out. Wron8,martln8 nnd swallows bid fair to go tho samo way if this llttlo for eigner has his way.
