Irregular feeding is sure to injure j the calf and check its development. The idle curry ccmb and tbe fat horse seldom live in the same bam. Orchards in full bearing mar be seeded to grass and pastured with ; sheep. The dairy cow is worth more than the beef steer whatever way you look at her. Cows do not enjoy being milked by one wnose fcnger nails are long ana j sharp. Whenever you discover a sheep limping along, catch him and examine his feet for rot. The old spring houses that are found on many farms tell of the early ex periences in dairying. Cantaloupes, watermelons and citron can only be profitably grown in a deep mellow loam soil. By sowing a pinch of letruce seed every ten days there will always be tender salad on the table. The winter dairyman is the coming man. but he cannot afford to milk in a cold, dirty stable or barn. Train the colt before he is six months old and you can control his innL'itinn Ti-K3r ll.a tc nlH?" I Breeding ewes should not be too fat; see that they are in a strong, healthy and vigorous condition. Pick out" the breed you like best and stick to it; study up everything you can about that particular breed. One of the difficult problems for the poultryman to solve is how to easily provide pure, fresh water for his fowls. Few dairymen realize the tremen dous significance of the cream trade that has been developed during the past few years If you want to raise a good crop of mice and insects that will damage the orchard trees, let the weeds and grass lie thick on the ground. Watch weak places in the fences. Makes one feel mean and it is provok ing besides to have cows break into the field of a neighbor. The cows should oe milked in the barn during the summer, but the barn should be kept just as cliean as it is in the winter time. Keep the cultivator busy. Don't let the weeds get ahead of you. Remem ber that they use the plant food that should go into your crops. Be sure that you furnish proper quarters for the farrowing sow. You can't afford to lose a single one of the little "squealers" this season. Never give drags to a horse any more than you would to a baby un less he is downright sick. Shutting off his feed will cure all minor ills. Xo cow can do her best or even keep up a normal Sow of milk when compelled to stand out in the hot mid day sun of August and fight the fiies. One of the most important things In running a dairy successfully is brains. Brains must be applied by every branch of "work if the best profit is to follow. The weak and wabbly fence Is an in vitation to the cattle to try the other side and it always works a hard ship, especially so during the busy sea son of the year. No farm should be without some sheep; they clean up the weeds, make fine fertilizers and wool, and produce I lambs, all of which may be turned in-1 to a good profit. Diversified farming is adapted tc the man who does intensified think ing. The intensive thinker is always a success as a farmer or any other oc cupation where talents lead him. The pig that has been supplied with an abundance of pasture and a small grain ration during the sum- mer should weigh from 130 to 175 pounds by the latter part of Septem ber. Alton farm, at Yarcly. Pa., mar kets about 2'j.OOO green ducks annu ally. The ducks are dressed, dry j picked and shipped to market in bar- ; t rels at ten weeks cid. The chicken y!ant is larger than the duck farm. Early maturing pullets should be ex;ra well fed, they are making growth as well as eggs, so don't stint them, and if they don't lay quite as soon as vcu think they should, re member that the food eaten Is mak ing fiesh and bone, and that they will be better size than if they are to be precocious. In grading up the chickens cuD all but the most rigorous. Mutton breed Iambs should 'receive grain as early as possible. Women are better fitted by nature than men for poultry keeping. Not enough attention has been giv en to the character of seed corn, The best fertilizer for asparagus is rotted manure from grain-fed , horses. The farm is tbe Ideal place for growing all kinds of poultry for mea: and eggs. Feed your fowls a sufficient amount of animal fend nlpntv or" vegetables To dispose of a crop at satisfactory prices is often a more difficult prob lem than to produce ir A horse that is tco straicht in his posture jar3 himself and gets all the ' concussions of the road. The thermometer must be used ai 1 regularly in the dairy during the sum rner as during the winter. It weakens the horses to keep them , shut up in a close stable during th hot nights. Tarn them out. If a soil lacks water some form ol Tom i7orti nra n nncinvp nprnmfnL l. they are preent in abundance. It Is common sense that a mature sow will produce larger and more J perfect pigs than a very young one Butter made in a sanitary dairy is always easier to keep than that which is made under poor condi tions. Don't let the buck ran with th does when his breeding season Is over, but confine him in a pen by himself. Dairy-bred stock is scarce, and It will take many years to apply the rapidly increasing demand for dairy bred cattle. Eeans can be tnrned into cash the quickest of any farm crop, as it is possible to sell them in ninety days from planting. Hogs will not thrive on sour and de composed food any more than men wilL See that they get fresh, clean water to drink. Cabbage is one of the easiest vege tables to start from seed and to trans plan: and to be made to grow in the garden or field. An incubator will not run Itself any , more than an automobile wilL A hu-' man brain must stand back of the best machine invented. 1 Women as a rule are more progress i ive and quicker to seize a new idea j and put it into practice in the poultry , yard than the sterner sex. Plenty of coal ashes where the fowls ' can roll and scratch in them will settle i the lice question, without the use of ! powder or liquid lice exterminaters. The fall fresh cow is the preferable ' cow and if you have not come to re aiize this, just try it this year and see if you will not be readily converted. Sunshine is necessary in the milk house in the winter time, but just now all the shade that can be found , wyi be acceptable. Trees and vines help. The condition and the appearance ' of the creamery should be the very best for this will have an Influence on getting favorable market for the butter. Spring is the natural time for young animals to be born and they do better, i all other things being equal, when they are ushered into this world at that time of year. It pays to supply the fowls, espe cially growing ones, with charcoal, ground bone, either fresh or dry; oys ter and clam shells, and a continual sunnly of best grit. I 1 A good way to avoid the credit sys- ) tem is to grow the living at home. It j is usually possible to grow the most . expensive, yet the most necessary, ar J tides of food on the farm. I At our present rate of deforestation fuel and fencing materials will be very scarce within a few years. Plant waste lands in forest trees to supplj the timber required on the farm. Arrange to save seed of- the bes varieties of potatoes, pumpkins.. squashes and other garden products for next season's planting. Then you will be sure of plenty of good seed. Many fail with sheep because the fail to keep the breeds that are best adapted to their farms and do not raise the kind that the market de- j mantis and is ready to pay the highest . price for. Save the droppings from the poul- try house. Fertilizer of equal value. if bought on the market, will cast you $30 or more a ton. For the easier gathering and handling of this ferti lizer, a platform of boards should be ! placed under the roosts. This plat form should be scraped clean at least twice a week, ! Young calves need whole milk for the first few days. The calf should al"xays have the first or colostrum , milk of the cow and be allowed to ; nurse the cow until the eighth or wuui iiii.ii.t. ; ue mim a suit able for human food. Feed often, with small amounts, to avoid over r feeding. Teach the calf to drinlr and feed whole milk for at least three j weeks, changing to a skim-milk diet ' gradually.

A. H. WADDELL.) The most useful citizen the coun try can produce is the man who looks upon the soil of the earth and says. What can I grow from It or produce upon it?" Agriculture and live stock are the main stays of humanity, and it Is to the husbandman and breeder that kings and princes as well as the hum ble peasant must turn with thankful ness and gratitude not only for the blessings of life, but for existence it self. Great Britain, the home and the birthplace of the greatest breeders and farmers the world has ever known, owes this honored position to the aristocracy of that country. It was these people who of their means and abundance sought for and ac quired the ways of enriching and im proving the soil and the animals that grazed upon it. Let an example by the highest in the land, the country squire, the gen tleman farmer, and eventually the tenant farmer himself, each to a greater or lesser extent, strive to copy the teachings of the lords of the manor until a keen rivalry of the most friendly nature sprang up be tween landlord and tenant, in a con test for supremac. in the productions of the farm and the live stock that were bred thereon. Agricultural shows sprang up In the various counties at which were to be seen the great draft horses, cat tle, sheep and swine of the large landed proprietors, standing side by side, though in lesser numbers, with those of the tenant farmer and even the humble cottager. Looking on and keenly observant, could be seen the noble lord with his wife and chil dren as well as the tenant farmer and the cottager with all the mem bers of their households and waiting for the verdict of the judges who in those early days stamped themselves as the master breeders, and whose names are written down upon the role of honor of England's great breeders and agriculturists. Today, not only do the titled peo ple, country gentlemen and farmers of that land continue in their breed ing and Its still further improvement, but the professional and business men of the towns and cities have taken it up to such an extent and with suih INTERIOR OF 'z- : j 1 a ' n : rr j m j The illustration shows the interior arrangement of the colony booses used at the Macdonald (Canada) col lege.

Owing to bad shoeing and also many other causes many horses suffer with contracted feet. The heels are narrowed and the horse steps gingerly with a desire to extend himself when forced to trot or gallop. The writer is now using a horse 21 years old and when he drove him for the first time in December last saw that he experienced great difficulty in extending himself and especially on rough or stonv roads. He was shod with heel calks on the front as well as the hind feet and it was very perceptible that the heels of his front feet were too narrow. After three unsuccessful trials with regular blacksmiths the horse was ex amined by a competent veterinary sur Fat Steers. interest and consummate skill, that it is difficult to find a man of wealth who has a taste for breeding and farming who is not occupying his leis ure moments in this way. It is this splendid state of affairs that has made breeding and farming what It is In Great Britain today, and while that glorious old country can learn much from the great, young, robust and healthy United States, it is gratifying to see American gentle men of wealth taking a lesson from the mother's book and going In for legitimate methods of pedigreed stock breeding and advanced modern farm ing. The example that these gentlemen are setting In this country will be fol lowed by the same wholesome and beneficial results in regard to farming and pedigreed stock-breeding as was achieved by the pioneers in England years ago, until we shall eventually find all the sections of this country best fitted by nature for the highest class of farming and breeding, occu pied by gentlemen who are now lead ing the way and setting this splendid and useful example. Work of Bees. Three hundred billion bees, accord ing to one expert apiarian, made enough honey last year to fill a train of cars long enough to reach from New York to Buffalo. At the low wholesale rate of 10 cents a pound it was worth $25,000,000. and if the 700. 000 bee keepers of the country had worked as industriously and skilfully as did the bees, the weight of the output would have been three times as great and the value S75.000.000 Not only did the little workers con tribute that vast supply of pure anc delicious food product to the nation, but as they made it they treated il antiseptically with formic acid, thus preventing impurities or decay. Dutch Good Potato Raisers. The potato crop of Holland is in creasing rapidly both in the amount of land cultivated and yield per acre. The expansion of the potato industry is credited to the use of drained peat land for the crop and the application of farm manure. The crop is gen erally sprayed for potato blight, but the potato insects do not seem to give the Dutch growers much trouble. COLONY HOUSE ilA geon who pronounced bis trouble to be contracted heels. He had them shod perfectly level In front, springs were placed in between the back of bis shoes to keep tht heels spread and a piece of sole leather was tacked across the hllows of the hoof below tbe hoof and the shoes to pro tect the sole of the foot and break the jar of traveling on rough and stony places. About once of twice a week a hoof ointment consisting of one pint of Neat's foot oil with two tablespoon fuls of oil of tar was applied on the outside of the front feet with a soft rag and then, raising the edge of the leather, a Iittie is poured over the sole of the foot and a few drops In the heel cleft. Since the last shoeing and following the treatment above described the horse has improved wonderfully In his road work and rarely flinches, even going at a 12-miIe-an-hour slip. Range Sheep. It is estimated that about 5,000,040 range sheep are fattened In the coxa belt each seasoa.
