Thicker cream, quicker butter.
Now Is tho time to separate tho
feeding from tho breeding Btock.
Careless methods lose many a farm
er a competence.
Poor, musty hay or grain should
nover be fed to the horses.
Shellor in tho pasture for tho sheep.
Essential to successful sheep raising.
Much depends upon tho method of
ripening tno cream as to the quality
of butter produced.
Uso water, clean and cold, in work
ing tho butter. Worked dry you aro
almost sure to overwork.
Tho uso of wide tires will prevent
to largo extent tho rutting of tho
road.
Between four and one-half and five
months Is tho right timo to take tho
angora kids from the mothers.
Cement floors in tho hog pen nro

A Cornell professor after tests, baa
found that milk can bo produced for
65 cents per hundredweight and but
ter fat for 1. cents per pound where

Connecticut has a wonderful cow ns
is shown by an advertisement in one
of her country newspapers as fol
lows: "Full-blooded cow for sale, giv
ing milk, three tons of hay, a lot of
chickens and several stoves."
Savo tho saplings of hard wood
when clearing up land, ns they come
handy for handles to the various tools
used on the farm. To make them is
only a littlo work and you save
money.
Spend a few days in tho orchard
this fall cleaning up the grounds and
tho trees. The most neglected spot
on some farms is the orchard, and
It Is right there that the best profit
might be realized if tho right care
was given tho trees.
Give the chickens a good niry place
to roost at night. For tho growing
stock all that is required until cold
weather comes is a shelter from sun
and rain. Have tho Bheltcr so con
structed that you can move it about
from place to place.
Lumpy jaw in cattle is of parasitic
character and treatment is advisable
only where the disease is local and su
perficial. The diseased masses arc
cleaned from their cavities and the
places filled with iodized carbolic acid.
It is a disease that man is suscepti
ble to and great care must be exer
cised. In most cases it woro better to
destroy the animal. .
"No," said a farmer with whom 1
talked the other day, "I nover break
my horses until they nro four years
of ago. They always do better work
than tho horses of my neighbors that
aro broken earlier." What did ho
mean? His Idea of breaking a colt
was putting it to hard work, and when
I suggested that the training of a colt
should begin early In tho first year ho
looked at mo in amazement. I asked
him if it was not n pretty tough Job
breaking tho four-year-olds, and ho
admitted It was. Tho training of a
colt doos not mean that ho must be
worked. It simply means the edu
cating of tho animal to obey words of
command, to submission to touch of
humous and to follow tho guidance of
tho reiiiH. And how easy all tills Is
1 while tho colt Is young and easy to
haudlo. A horso broken In tills way
is more thoroughly broken than ho
over can bo when the task Is loft
until ho gets Ills growth and habits
nro formed. Who would think of leav
ing Iho odueatlon of a child go until
It had attained ILh growth and wuh
able to statu! ti man' work?
Get good Mid give good Is a good
rule.
When through using a tool, or ma
chine, put it up.
A small farm well-kept. Is better
than tho big farm Indifferently run.
More sheep well-handled will moan
u more fertile farm and moro monoy
for you next year.
Know your cows and do not board
through the winter tho cows that do
not pay their way.
Tho butter llavor can tie Improved
by adding a tnblespoonful of granu
lated sugar to ten pounds of butter.
It is a good plan to put finely cut
hay with tho grain to compel tho
horses to mastlcato their feed prop
erly. Make up for the scantiness of tho
paUurngo at. this time of year is mado
up with corn stalks or other succulent
feed.
Make your farm a veritablo gold
mine by careful managing so that
everything thnt Is raised Is turned
into gold.
Spray tho stables occasionally to
drivo out tho files. A good fly spray
Is a good disinfectant, and will purify
the air of the stable.
Molting Is hard on the poultry.
Fowl well at. this" tlmo so that they
may come through the period strong
ami roady for tho winter laying sea'
son.
Sort the chickens at this time and
dispose of all tho superfluous ones,
Don't winter over the old hens, except
such of tho trusty ones as you want
to keep for setting next spring.
A poultry keeper of New Jersey has
found a new use for tho box kites.
He files them over his henneries and
says they scare tho hawks away.
Worth trying.
It is the gentle, steady rainfall as
well as the even-tempered man which
does tho most good. Violent thunder
storms and violent tempers do lots of
damage.
Mango Is a germ disease. Hogs
thus alllicted should be washed clean
and then dipped. Any dip sold by re
liable firms for the purpose will do.
Moro than one application may bo
necessary.
Keep a level head when the work Is
crowding. Think quick and do tho
most important thing first, then tho
next. Don't get rattled, but do ono
thing at a time.
Liquid manure is tho most valuable
part, often containing ns much as CO
to 75 per cent, of fertility. Plenty
of bedding will help to save it, if you
have not a cistern into which the
liquid manure is drained.
No two horses any more than two
people require tho same amount of

sults. Do you know how to ground your
fence wires to prevent lightning do
ing damage to stock? Simply thrust
u length of heavy wire several feet
Into the ground down the sldo of oc
casional posts, and staple to the fenco
wires where they cross.
Boys should learn how to sharpen

hunt up things that aro lost, be faith
ful to a trust, bravo in tho faco of
danger, plucky when a pain or hurt
would mako them cry, helpful to every
body human, and kind to beast ami
bird.
It doeB not pay to let tho cow. got
down in their milk because pasturago
lu short. If you want them to go
through tho winter with a good milk
flow, keep them well fed, for It Is al
most impossible to bring tho cow up
to full flow when once shrinkage has
taken placo.
Tent cat orpi liars are becoming moro
numerous every year. There ought
to be laws enacted In every state for
their extermination. If every farmer
would see to It that his own premises
are kept free from them It would bo
tho means of much benefit to fruit
trees, young and old.
The worst thing you can do to tho
horse that refuses to pull Is to beat
him. Bo kind to him, caress him,
allay his excitement by speaking and
stroking his neck, and leave tho team
alone for 10 or ifi minutes. Then urge
them on again, turning tho horses a
littlo to the light and left, so as to get
them in motion, before they feel tho
preneuue of tho load behind thorn,
Drive about 20 paeon and Htop again,
before tho balky horrio stops on lilt
own account, Then carostt and uta-t
imuln.
