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.
Tfeere are threa general types of lee
houses: those built nettrely abort
ground; those bnllt partly abofee an
partly below ground, and those of the
save type bnilt entirely below ground.
Oi these three types h structure

to feaad say ncard? 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. "By thoir fruits yo, shall
know thorn." Bulls from damB with-

Good-bpo, old brlndlo, bony Bcrub,
Tho timo demands a bettor breed.
You eat enough, but there's tho rub.
You neor pay for half your food.
So after all thCso years wo part,
Buy pray remembor as you go,
If this Bhould break your bovine
heart
You broke my purse long, long ago.
Many flocks of hens In Nebraska
have less than one-half of tho amount

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.

THE WINTER BIRDS OF LINCOLN
COUNTY.
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. Whllo cruelty is
condomncd oven whon practiced on a
filthy sparrow, wo should seok to
drlvo out theso posts and oxtormln
Stream!
ato them In any way wo can learn of
which Is humane English Sparrows
mako flno food and nro rocommonded
to thoso who would liko a change in
their food.
