Clean feeding lots, feed ing floors; a supply of good water anc freedom. from worms and parasite will help. They will be worth every dollar they cost within reason.-- Farm Progress, The Profitable Farm, The basis of successful and profit able farming is a fertile soil. . Na ture's way is to return to the soil Just as much as is taken from the soil. The leaves of the forest trees fall tothe ground immediately be- neath, carrying back the fertility ex- tracted through the roots. The grasses of the prairies rot back each year, and' the rich prairie soil is the result. The pioneer refused to learn from nature. He took liberally from the bounty of the earth, but returned no- thing. did crops. Ultimately nature shut down on him, and to-day we find our- sedves obliged, to return to nature's ways in our treatment of the land. F First and-above all things, we must maintain the fertility of our soils The dairy farm, on which the crops raided are consumed on the farm and returned *to the soil, is going a long way towafds maintaining the balance of fertility. The dairyman who buys concentrated feeding stuffs in addition for the feding of his herd, may actually enrich the soil.--Farm and Dairy. Horns, Horns are subject to disease as well, as hoofs, but they are not, how- ever, liable to so many troubles. There are. probably few, il any, dis. caser; but such things as abcessed in the core foilowing upon injury, and lacerations following upon &' break, are not unknown. - The liberation of the pus should be sought, and a cold carbolized lotion should be applied. With regard to the formation of horns, Nature , plays many peculiar tricks. There is nothing more unsight ly than horns set at the wrong angle, and no matter how beautifully bal- anced 'an animal is, and how well marked otherwise, its value is very seriously impaired if the appearance is spoiled by a badly set horn. The coler of horns, too, is import- ant. Not so long, ago, the black-tip- ped horn which one finds in the Sus- sex, Shorthorn, and other breeds, was considered a bad fault; but it is not looked upon 60 severely -nmowa- days. The ideal horn is waxy in color, and perhaps one seens it in per fection in the famous West Highland breed. The spread of the horn is remark- able in some of the races which are commercially valuable because of their appearance. These decorative breeds are, however, not wholly or- namental, for in such types as the Longhorn, the Wejeh, and the West Highland, there is plenty of excellent butchering material, only In some cases it is rather slow In maturing. A good spread of horn is 6ft, from tip to tip, and this is only attained by the West Highland breed. Milk Memos.

Sheep do not require mueh care .iberty they ean have the better; hut. in the winter season they may be kept in 'a shed, open on the sunny side If necessary, It is usually bet- er to afrange £0 that it can be vlosed in case of storm, If possible sheep should have the liberty to. range on .dry and firmly sodded pastures In the. winter when thesé are not covered So deep- .¥ with snow as to make it Impossible or them to get food by scraping for t with their feet. It is nol necegsary that they should )¢ kept om anything else' than on arth floor, provided the came is dry ind kept well bedded. Fresh bed- ding should be added every two.or three days. Confining the sheep in a small and Hl-ventllated building would soon prove fatal. Sheep are fond of a 'change 'in diet; consequently the greater the variety of feed, fine in character, the better the tesuits. While they are in' winter quarters they should be given a small quantity of grain, in the absence of roots. Usually one pound per head before thé Eeason for lambs Will GE endugh. -- No grain is better adapted for such feed than oats. ' A little bran added will make an improvement. After the lamb- fog season 'the flock may be safely given about &ll the grain that will be eaten up clean. No kind of hay is better for sheep than clover or alfal El .. The sheep ha¢ the most delicate sence' of smell of any domestic ani- hal, and the racks and reughs from which they eat 'will offénd more or less if mot kept perfectly cleaw. They will not eat unclean food nor drink unclean water, unless compelled by hunger and thirst to do so. Cleanli- noss iS a matter of necessity and must bi kept in force, if the best results to ba aftained are desired. Ancther very important featiire is to keep the animals as quiet as pos- sible at all times. They are very timid, and dogs and boisterous men and boys should not be permitted to go about them.--W., H. Underwood. Pouliry And Profit. Of the many gef-rich-quick schem- | es there is perhaps none more delus- ive than that of poultry raising on paper, and yet, with the proper faci- lities and applied intelligence, pos- sibly ns handsome returns can be had from poultry raising as from any ot- Ler industry in proportion to. the amount of capital invested, and the readiness with which results can be obtained. As a side line for the 'ar- mer, or often as an interesting and prefitable occupation for the boys and girls on the farm, poultry rais- ing offers great apportunities. The value of the egg as a food is gradu- ally but surely being recognized, with the recult that the w is rapidly ipereasing. that in futiire good prices for poultry products are sure to be realized. Recent experiments bave shown that flocks with 'unlimited range, such as they usually have on the farm, have given greater profits per fowl than flocks that were confined. The potiltry house should he dry, {ree from dbanghts, and well ventil- uted, but need not be an expensive structure; as. was once thought nec- essary.

Piticnee; perfect "contfol of tem- per, and an even, musical voice are essentials n the proper {raining of a colt. The rapid cleaning up of all mar- ketable horses of all types to supply the demand created by the. war, makes it certain that good prices will be maintained for several years. It takes three or four years to 8ToW a colt to marketable age. it Seems 4 most opportune time for up-to-date farmers to start breed ing some good colts There will also be an increasing |? demand for good mules. Breeding of horses must be done intelligently, because there is no place in the market for a misfit. The farmer must breed either a draft horse or a road horse.

She does not feed; either for milk production or for fat, but ought to be kept in strong growing condi- tion by food that makes pone and muscular tissue, and gives vigor of constitution. The . heifer should have a more aciive life than the cow kept for milk, but requires just as much in feeding and just as sufficient shelter from inclement weather. 1 Grazing on Rye. -- The practice of turning cows on young rye in the fall is a good one, but when the ground is very wet damage to jthe crop' may result, razing the'rye causes it to steel, and the young rye provides late green food, but, while the rye fleld winy 'be used for cows in the fall, they should not be turned on too early in the spring. It does not do #0 much harm for cows to change fron grass to rye as it does from dry food in the spring to young rye. . Fee Silage. <= By the use of ensilage the ration can be greatly cheapened, but ensilage is not a bal- anced food, and must not therefore be used exclusively. A ration of 45 pounds of ensilage, 8 pounds of clov- er hay, 1 pound of bran and 1 of linseed meal will cost about 10 cents a day and be nearly as can be desir- ed. This ration will be better di- gested than one composed mostly of dry food, and the ensilage 'can "be grown from a #ilage form at a cost below that of any ether food that can be procured on the farm, Points in Pasturing. ~-- Many pas: ture fields, are grazed too near the ground, When a herd of cows has free aceess to a pasture they eut the vn down many times and much closer than is dope with a mower.
