Thei blackblrds often do very great

service eating the caterpillars from field crops.

Most hawks and owls are of

distinct value to the farmer, par- ticulai'l_v the larger species. They live clilcfly on mice, rabbits. and gopliers, with it fcw small birds for a relish. (ircat liarin is often done by the in- dligiiriiiiliiute killing of these birds.

' Norss or THE FARM.

Kill the bugs now. ls u good motto

for the orchardlst and gardener.

We must have plenty of phosphorous

in the soil to properly rlpen the friilt. `l’utnsli is the most essential element in the growtli and ripen of the wood.

If n farmer will conuneiice with

strawberries he can have fruit the sec- ond year.

Every plnt of drainage from the

manure heap represents the waste ol' inuncy, and after rain has fallen on un ituprotected hear the loss may run iiii.o shillings. '

Fa|'i\1crs have not yet compreliended

the importance of doubling the yield. llarlng plenty of hind, they look more to the area than to the substance from which crops are grown.

Alfalfa hay contains much more pro-

tein than red clover and is about three limos ns rich in this costly and essen- tial food element as timothy hay is practically- equal in feeding value to ‘hc same weight of ‘wheat bran.

form, are two mixing tanks, made by sawing a 200-gallon oil barrel through the middle. A discharge hose from each of these joins together by means

fin' a “Y” connection into one hose. lt

will be found convenient to have a hose uf large diameter (two inches) with a valve sliut-off near the tank, and just low enough to reach either of the mixing tanks, and another five' eigliths or one-inch hose long enough

| to reach any part of the platform, with

a shut-off nozzle. On the corner across Ironi the supply tank is a lime-slaking box, about two feet wide, t'our.i`eet long, and one foot deep, elevated three feet from the platform. This is pro- rideil with it t`oiir or five-inch slide opening and spoilt on the'end near the bottom. Half a barrel of lime is dumped into this mixing box, the op trator stands on a box one or two feet ‘high and uses hose and hoe to com- plete the sinking. The mixture is then run out of the spout through a strainer into a 50-gallon barrel. This barrel is then filled up, and one gai- lon will contain two potinds of lime. The barrels for the different solutions are placed where convenient. ln dis- solving copper sulphate we place i-1 short. tripod on the end of an open 50- galion barrel near full of water, sus- izend 100 pounds of the copper sul- phate in ii sack, dipping a considerable distance into the water. As the cop- per sulphute dissolves the suck is raised. While using from one barrel

down the discharge hose, the lime and copper sulphate mixing as they run without forming any precipitate. These solutions should always be prepared und dlliited before mixing. and some method like the one described is the only satisfactory way to do it.

Give Poultry Milk.

Every farmer should allow the poul-

try a share of the milk, instead oi feeding all to swine. It has been pro- ven that when inllk is added to thc grain ration, young chicks gain nearly twice ns fast in weight as when grain alone is used, and as skim-milk and buttermilk contain nearly all the ele- ments of i'ood, eggs are more easily produced by hens fed upon such than when they are not so provided.

Power in Gasoline.

The power in gasoline is really mar-

vylous. The man who has used gaso- lne power for years does not marvel at it as does the recent purchaser. A gallon of this liquid will easily carry nve passengers tcn to fifteen miles, or it will grind feed cheaper than thc man with horses that need the exer~ cisc can do it. Great is gasoline.

Give Hens Work.

in the extremely cold weather it is

most. important to give the hens work to do by scattering millet and small grains in the scratching room. On wa`r'ni days they do not need this so

iiincb if they have plenty of range.

mines the peculiarities ofthe shoe that is best adopted to lt. Viewing the foot from the side the regular posi- tion is that shown in which the weight will be borne to best atlvuntnge. With the regular or normal shape the weight falls nenr the center of the hoof, and is evenly distributed over the whole bottom ol' the hoof. fha toe points straight forward and when the horse is moving forward ln a straight line the hoofs are picked up and carried forward in a line parallel to the mid-

lube line of the body. Horses that are "toe-wide" are likely to interfere when in niotlon.
