Sweet applea make fine feed for the milch cow u. Raise your own work hori'in. It will pay you. Remember bogs like salt, also ashea and charcoal. A farmer Is largely known by the horse he drives. Provide comfort for the live stock and save oa the fend bill. Roots should be part of the ration for sheep In the winter. It Is poor economy to akimp the feed of the young and growing atock. Cows are sensitive creatures and readily respond to kind treatment. Loud and boisterous talking should never be allowed in the cow stable. In piling up firewood which Is to be exposed to the weather place all pieces with bark on bark-side up. Don't try to save feed with the ewes. The returns will be seriously affected If their feed is cut too Bhort. With veal at present prices the calf makes a most profitable milking ma chine. Take pains to save the liquid ma nure the most valuable part of the manure. It pays to raise fruits, especially those of the hardy varieties that keep well. In deciding on the kinds of fruits you will raise, select those varieties which are hardy in your locality. Dry soil and cold weather are con ditions that are hard on the orchard trees. The training of the colt should b begun so early that "breaklng-ln" will not be necessary. i i y tuiu a.uu i iiu ujfftti lur iiiw horses. Considered by nianv better T-.. V. 1 M A 1 than pure corn meal. We are emphatic when we say that no milking should be done except through a cheese cloth covering for the milk pail'. Sheep manure keeps bBt if well mixed with straw or clover bulls and tramped in the sheep shed. Keep It dry until ready to haul it out. It's not the color of the hog's hair nor his pedigree which counts on market day. The scales tell th story as to what he is worth. Sheep cannot defend themselves. and hence the farmer should see that every precaution is taken to shield them from harm. Water not piped to the barn? Did you ever figure out how many thou sand gallons of water you bad carried out to the horses? It Is the cow with the big appetite and small udder which makes the farmer believe that dairying doea not pay. No salt la too good for butter-mak ing. Buy only the best. Many a good batch of butter has been spoiled by the quality of the salt used. Don't scold or kick the cow which is restless because of sore tets. Use a little vaseline Instead and handle the teats carefully until they have healed. 'try the muslin curtains around the hen roosts this winter. It will add to the comfort of the poultry and they iu turn will add to your profit. The Babcock tester will pick out the unprofitable cows In your herd. Use it and then get rid of the animals which It puts on the black list. Mix the poultry droppings with road dust in alternate layers and keep in barrels in a dry place until needed next season. Corn turned into honest pork to feed a hungry people is construc tive enterprise. Corn turned into whisky to debauch mankind Is de structive. Whta It comes to a choice between feediag blgh-prioed grain or cutting down production of the cow, we would ehooee the former every time, and would be dollars ahead in the end.
