one of the prime essentials for keep
ing fowls in good health.
Most separators do their best work
with the milk at a temperature of

When the cream has been held at
churning temperature for a period of
two or three hours, it is ready to be
churned.
A good way to keep manure for the
garden is to fill a large box, turning
it over with a fork about once a
week and keeping it moist.
The government is sending out ex
perts to various parts of the country

When shrubs are first planted they

Soy beans shed their leaves before
the grain begins to ripen; therefore
when hay is desired the plants must
be cut when half or more of the pods
are fully grown, but before the beans
begin to harden.
In cutting rape for soiling it is best
to cut about four inches from the
ground. It is advisable to arrange
the cutting so that each day's product
will be consumed within that time, as
the foliage soon wilts and is then not
relished so much.
The sitting hen must not be dis
turbed. If eggs are laid in the same
nest with those that are hatching It
is often difficult to tell the fresh one

farmers and fruit growers that black
berries Improve the physical nature
of the soil through their root action.

ple orchard the soil is left in ideal
condition for the outer feeding roots

While It is conceded that permanent
maintenance of soli fertility without
live Btock is possible, it Is not prac
ticable as a statewide policy, because

for dairy purposes in itself will call
for more extra dairy cows that all the

In resetting plants it is of perma
nent importance to place the roots in
the soil in as natural a position as
possible, a little deeper than they
grew in the original bed, making the
soil hold them fast, fan shaped and
firm. Holes too deep or holes too
shallow are both objectionable, the
one being too apt not to be closed at
the bottom, the other forcing the roots
Into a matted condition.
The way to reclaim a gully or an
unnecessary ditch in a field is to fill
it with trash and keep it filled. The
trash will hold it from washing any
wider or deeper and will gradually
catch all soil and sediment that
washes into it. Ily and by It will be
come filled with trash and soil and
when the trash decays this soil will
become the best In the field—deep,
porous and full of the best available
j 'ant foods.
