Baffling the Mosquito, l'.st summer we were pestered with the awful nuisance, mosquitoes, night jiltpr niirht, and on one occasion killed between thirty and forty in our bedroom, at midnight. The following day 1 took a woolen cloth, put a little kerosene oil on it, and rubbed both sides of the wire mesh of the screens with it. That night one lonely mos quito disturbed our rest. Two or three times each week I rubbed the screens in like manner, and we enjoyed peace the rest of the summer. The odor from the oil remains only a few min utes, :md the oil itself preserves the screens and keeps away flies. Good Housekeeping Magazine. i Tit for Tst.

The cow test association Is a great thing for any dairy locality. .Brood sows as well as cows should be selected for their milking qualities. The manure that washes away and is wasted represents an actual money loss. Milk Is an excellent food for the young fowls, but requires skill in leeding. It takes two years or more for the white grub to reach maturity from the egg. The comb Is as sure an indicator of the health of the bird as the tongue is of the person. Toung pigs need perfectly dry quar ters, especially during the first weeks of their existence. If In milking a part of the milk Is bloody, stringy or unnatural in appear ance the whole should be rejected. The March pullets are the ones that wilt begin to lay in November I It tcej have been given proper care. A hay cap will shed a reasonably heavy rain and keep the larger part of the cock of hay from getting wet. It Is a great thing to know just when a plant needs water. It is a matter that requires close observa tion. The very best kind of a pen for ducklings is one that can be easily moved from one part of the yard to another. The condition of your neighbor's field makes little difference to you. Your attention should be centered In your own. Old orchards can be renewed In such a way as to produce good fruit for the family while the new orchard is coming on. The silo enables the dairyman to keep more live stock on the same number cf acres and at less cost in feed and labor. Shropshires are very hardy sheep, their wool brings a good price and they seem to be healthier than some of the other breeds. Naturally the cow that gives the greatest profit is the one that gives the most milk during the winter for milk is then highest priced. Never give drugs to a horse any more than you would to a baby unless he is downright sick. Shutting off his feed will cure ail minor ills. The size of the tile to be placed in a drain will depend upon the length of the drain, the depth of the dis tance apart the drains are placed. The high grade draft horse, the product cf a pure bred sire and a good mare, has made one of the most prof itable industries upon the American farm. Veal calves in hot weather will grow better if kept during the day in a dark, cool stable, but the stable must be cleaned out and well venti lated. A hen may cease laying if not prop erly fed before she uses up all her stored energy, and it occasionally hap pens that a hen dies by overegg pro duction. If English farmers can afford to use pure-bred draft horses that are worth jr.00 for ordinary farming operations, why cannot our farmers afford them as well? A really good horse Is never of a bad color, but some colors, such as perfectly dappled grays, pure blacks and blue roans, command better prices than others. Pookkeeplng is well adapted to gar dening and fruit growing. The bees will appreciate your skill as garden er and show their appreciation by paying tribute in honey. Don't stop feeding your cows grain just because you turn them on pas ture. Give them a little grain every day and as the season advances, if your pasture is not what it should be. increase the grain ration. When the hen is off with her brood, burn all the nesting material, and paint the nest box with kerosene or liquid lice killer before returning it to the hen house. Once a week disinfect the drinking vessels and feed troughs. If you would be successful in your poultry business let one thing stand out like a star towards which you a-e always aiming and planning cleanli ness as you know cleanliness is next to Godliness and promotes health, and health is essential to success. Un clean poultry runs and drinking ves- colc indicate imnurp n-ial'tv nf mct i and eggs. So aim for health, and cleanliness is the best way to health. NOTES c 3 ' s 8n i&J spliX Handle cows carefully In summer. Cows are annoyed by unnecessary delay and noise. Labor saving equipment on the farm earns more than it costs. With the silo, an acre of roughage will Iced a greater number of animals. It Is well to keep grit and lime within reach of the chickens all the time. It Is well to remember that chick ens cannot thrive if infested with vermin. Don't leave your valuable farm machinery standing unprotected Id the field. Peat soil which produces poor corn generally does so on account of lack of potassium. It Is false economy to shut you: poultry up to keep them from damag ing your gardens. Watch most carefully during the heated term that the chicks have well ventilated brood coops. Plant early and late so that the supply of crisp vegetables can be maintained for months. The bedding of a sow at farrowing time should be sufficient only for cleanliness and dryness. The work Is evenly distributed throughout the entire year on the best organized dairy farms. Almost any one can succeed with sheep in winter time, or in early spring or in the fall months. It is much better to use a medium season, heavy straw variety of oats when they are grown with peas. If the man who has no silo would watch his neighbor feed and watch the results be would soon have one. Never allow the cows to be excited by abuse, hard driving or by dogs, and do not expose them to codl or storms. Success does net depend so muct upon the number of cows a man keeps as upon the number of good cows he keeps. Strawberries should be cultivated, the weeds eradicated and the mosi ture conserved for late summer drought. The egg is manufactured by tht hen from the food that is consumed, hence her feeding should be carefully considered. Painting an old buggy or wagon ot farm implement is not a verydifficult task, but it adds a great deal to the appearance. It is a mistake to pasture young clover for the cattle are apt to kill the plants as much by tramping on them as by feeding. Keep up the warfare on weeds lo the cornfields these hot days, when soil moisture needs to be conserved to its utmost limit Pigs at birth have two sharp point ed teeth, one each side of their jaws. If not removed they are apt to make the teats of the mother sore. Plow and harrow the ground before sowing fall turnips. Turn under the weeds and make the seed bed as fine, clean and smooth as possible. As the new corn gets dry and hard it is safe to feed more than when It was soft and green. It is more easily digested and gives better results. The cows should have some protec tion from severe storms; that Is. there should be some place where they can go if they want to during a cold rain The best way to obtain good cows is to raise the heifer calves from your best dairy cows, thus in a short time you are the possessor of good young cows. Lettuce may be had for table use till late in winter by starting the plants now and protecting them with a cold frame when cold weathet comes. Hay troughs should be so fixed that particles will not fall through and be come entangled in the fleece. Foreign matter of any sort in the fleece re duces its value. Pie plant is a good commercial vege table. The demand for it on the city markets is good. It Is little trouble and can be shipped well, standing al most any distance. Health and vigor are great preven tives of disease. Feed the ewes lib erally and let the lambs learn to eat while young. Stomach worms do not get possession readily where the lambs are well fed. Some summer and fall varieties ol apples ripen well on the trees; most of them should be picked when they are well colored and have reached full size, but are not yet soft; they may be mature but not ripe. When hens are given good cars and eggs are to be abundantly produced, if they cannot secure all the proper con stituents to make perfect eggs they will consume some of the stored up energy already in their bodies. Thousands of acres of good pasture and hay land go to waste every year along the roadsides. Why not have the roads well enough finished so that it will be possible to mow ( this and save the hay comfortably. An opossum eats the head and neck of a fowl, and kills only one or two at a time.

(By J. JL BELL. Virginia.) Try to be patient with your colt Mr. Farmer. Remember he is green yes, as green as the grass he eats so peacefully when you turn him out to graze and the harness no longer chafes his soft young body. All farmers know that a four-year-old colt will stand more than a three-year-old. Bone and muscle are better matured and generally better size, therefore, he is better able to stand a day's work. But. when it comes to that, no green, unbroken colt should be expected to do a full day's work in the team of well seasoned farm or road horses. So many good colts have been 'aged and made dull by this foolish habit of letting them run absolutely un broken into the spring when they are three or four-year-olds and then catch- ing them and putting them at hard, steady work just as the busy season comes on, when the crops need work, when the flies are rampant and when neither the master's nor the colt's tempers are at their best Imagine a farmer starting out to mow bay with a green or half broken colt bitched alongside of a mule or a steady farm horse to a mowing ma chine, double row cultivator, corn planter, plow or harrow. All implements need a steady, well broken team and at the same time a good driver, who. In order to do his best work has little time for else than quietly handling his team and imple ment at one and the same time. This man will not get much satis faction out of a day's work if he has to worry with a green, restive colt, who, chafing at the unexpected misery of heavy work in hot weather, starts up a little too soon or not soon enough, protects at having to walk in a straight line at a slow gait. etc. It is not impossible that he will balk. s.r- SBF v '' x-BCi 4H flv Prize Winnlnk Draft Mare and Foal. CHAMPION STEER SHAMROCK II. Silage is going to be more used than In the past, and cattle feeders are com ing to the conclusion at last that it should not be ignored, says the Na tional Stockman. Cheaper grains have been made by using silage as rough age, while gains have been made more rapid, especially where the cattle were fed only 90 days. The plan adopted in handling silage is to let the ear of the corn reach as advanced a stage of maturity as possible without firing the fodder. Many stock feeders in the upper edge of the corn belt, where dent corn often fails to come to maturity because of early frosts, are using this silage method with the best of success, and for wintering cattle its use is equal to pasturing them. Meanwhile the demand for breeding cattle is showing a steady increase. GIVE MILK COW GOOD TREATMENT animal Sbonld Have Access to Roclt Salt at All Times Should Not be Harried by Doa or Horse. A small quantity of barrel salt should be given the cow once or twice a ween; and she should have constant access to rock salt, either in the yard or pasture. In going to and from the pastures, the cows should have the use of a good wide lane, so that they may not be hooked and jammed abouL Do not hur ry them with -a dog or horse. If the floors of the barn are of cement, a small quantity of sand should be sprinkled on the floor before the cows are turned out or allowed to come in. This will prevent them from slipping. Care should be exercised, when they are running together, that heavy cows do not ride the young heifers when the latter are in season. Heifers are frequently injured for life by this kick or rear upon what might be con sidered a very slight provocation, oi no provocation at all to a broken, middle-aged farm horse. In that section of Virginia known aa The "Valley" famous for its splendid line of stock, the farmers are very successful breeders of horses, notably heavy draft horses and their rule is to break these big colts at two years old, never working them over half a day at time and beginning tbs break-irg-in process in the late winter and early spring. The first link is to a wagon in a steady team and with a quiet team ster, generally a white man who is used to the daily handling of horses. The writer visited that section twe j ears ago this month and while the guest of a well-known horse breeder, saw four full-blooded Percherons working to a manure spreader, a nine-year-old-mare under the saddle, a. three-year-old-stallion in the off-lead and a young mare under the line. The average weight of these splen did hordes was about 1,600 pounds each, but the remarkable part of the business var that these two young, vigorous stallions were working quiet ly with mares. Their teamster had them under perfect control, but they had been worked the same as twd-year-olds and bad become used to farm labor by degrees. Of course, advice is cheap and the farmers get lots of it and in this mat ter of working colts and green horses in the summer time they have heard it all fitting on the harness, scraping tho collars at night, washing off the shoulders and sparing the lash. I have only to say this, and I speak from experience: If the farmer don't go easy with the three and four-year-olds at this season they will be old and sluggish long before their time. and Illinois. Indiana. Michigan and Ohio farmers are buying thousands of good breeding cows, paying as high as $50 per head, or more than killers will offer. Farthermore, west of the Missouri river, in the former range country, new farmers have fenced in the lands and are in the market look ing for pure-bred bulls in som- in stances, although most of the demand now is for cheap bulls.
