The cows of a milking strain give a
good mess of milk, while the calves
grow fast and make good beef. There
is now in parts of New England a
good local demand for fresh beef, par
ticularly in summer, from the hotels
and boarding houses. The Shorthorn

SELECTING THE BOAR.
Highly Important That Head of the
Hard Be Pure Brad,
The first requisite In selecting a herd
boar is to buy from a responsible
breeder in whom you have confidence.
It Is well to select from a good sized
litter and from matured parents that
ahow good breeding themselves. It
Is often desirable to purchase the boar
when he is a pig, since if you Uve a
distance from the breeder or in an
other state the expressage is much
less. It is well to select a boar pig
that shows great vitality and has a
masculine look. He should be broad
between the eyes, with a good heart
girth.
Where a boar Is to be used on big,
rangy sows he should be more com
pact than If to be used on smaller
sows. As ths boar gives half the blood
to the whole herd, while one sow can
Influence her own litter only, it is
highly important that, whatever the
sows may be, the boar should be pure
bred and one which will give vigorous
pigs of good form. An aged sow
mated with a young boar will produce
pigs which will mature earlier than
those produced when the sow Is young
and the boar aged. This is a strong
argument In favor of keeping a sow
as long as she continues to breed satis
factorily. Use Care In Milking.
1 The warm milk as it comes from the
cow offers a splendid medium for the
favorable growth of all kinds of bac
teria which may gain access to It. In
order to lessen this development nillk
ins should be done as carefully and
quickly as possible and the milk
strained through a metallic strainer.
Do not use a cloth strainer, for even
under good conditions this soon be
comes a hotbed for bacteria.
HORSE LORE.
Begin to take the chill off the
water you give the horses when
the weather gets cold. You can
heat it cheaper on the stove
than you can in the stomach of
the horse, says the Farm Journal.
Keep the horses doing some
thing every day. An idle horse
X will be a sick horse before you
t know it
J Save time and nerve by get-
j ting farm horses that know how
to walk and will do it without
' being urged all the time.
? Some men start for the doctor
X when they have a sick horse.
Others feed well, care well and
drive well, so they never have
to go to the doator.
With the fall letting up of
work, let up on the heavy feed.
Like men, horses doing little
work should eat little.
A good currying occasionally
docs not make a sleek horse. It
takes every day grooming to
open the pores, soften the skin
and produce a good, healthy,
sleek coat

METHOD TO TELL
AGE OF THE SHEEP
A prominent professor of animal
husbandry In a leading university says
that One wool sheep live longer than
medium or coarse wool sheep. The
former have been used successfully as
breeders from one to eight years and
the latter from one to six aud more
rarely seven year. The prime of life
probably extcuda from one to five or
six years.
The lamb has short and small
bead as opposed to the head of the
mature sheep. Its teeth are smaller in
every way. They are usually smooth
and white as opposed to a more corru
gated, darkened surface in the old
sheep. The age of sheep Is told by the
four pairs of incisors which are found
ouly on the lower front jaw. These
are all present by the time the lamb la
six weeks old.
In the yearling the central pair of
small Incisor teeth are replaced with
large pair when the lamb la ten to
fourteen months old. They are almost
twice as wide and much longer than
those at either side.
At the age of two years the animal
gets a second pair of large teeth.
At three years it gets a third pan ot
large teeth. It would then have three
pairs of large teeth and one pair of
mall or lamb teeth.
The four-year-old has a full month
of four pairs of large teeth. The outer
ones are never as large as those In the
renter.
After the aheep Is four years old It
Is difficult to tell the exact age. With
ige the teeth usually grow longer and
narrower. They begin at six years to
resemble shoe pegs. Sheep that are liv
ing on short pasturage and get sand
with their grass wear their teeth short
even In old age. This la unusual in
Minnesota. -
When sheep get long, peg-like or bro
ken teeth, it Is time to dispose of
them.
CARE OF THE MULE.
Attention Should Be Given to Feeding
at Breeding Time.
Many are anxious to get Informa
tion about mules, animals that play
an important part In farm work and
heavy hauling. Some prefer them to
the draft horse. Why? Well, they say
mules can everlastingly pull a heavy
load without the slightest letup, in
the south they are a deliverer to the
MULES SACWNQ COTTOR.
cotton growers. Some people Imagine
that mules don't need any special
care, because, as a rule, their makeup
Is rugged. That's true in this respect
They can stand more abuse than any
animal used for heavy working pur
poses. But at breeding time attention
to feeding should be given. Some grain
for the mules to keep them in good
condition without fattening them is
very important If the mule runs
down from lack ot nourishing food
either the progeny will be weak and
lacking In vigor or the breeding may
be entirely prevented. The best of all
grain foods for keeping the mule in
condition are oats. Rye is sometimes
fed and in some cases is very good.
It should be kept from the animals
after they have been bred, as it may
cause abortion.
FEEDING THE COLT.
Many Farmers Make Mistake In Using
Bottles and Nipples.
Noting In a recent farm paper a plan
to raise the baby colts on a bottle with
a rubber nipple, a breeder advises
farmers not to bother with bottles and
nipples, at least not for colts.
Take a deep pan or crock and pour
into It enough milk to cover your hand.
Crook your forefinger C shape In the
milk. Let the colt once get hold with
Its soft velvety lip of that crooked
forefinger and it will drink at the third
day. Colts do not or need not suck the
finger like calves.
Sufficient milk is placed In good
glass jars in the tank, and the colt
learns to come to the gate for its milk,
taking it from any crock, pni) or Tea
sel we choose to feed It from. And
the milk should be warmed slightly at
first
Handling Young Pige.
When pigs are three weeks old the
sow and litter should have the run of
a lot to have exercise, air and sun
shine. They will then begin to eat At
eight weeks of age they should be
weaned and provided with a feeding
trough. Soaked corn, sklmmllk, cooked
feeds, with mill feeds added, form a
good diet for them. Do not feed corn
meal to excess, for it fattens rather
than causes healthy growth.
Regularity Road to Success.
Dairying is quite confining, but this
is one of the good features of the in
dustry. Once a farmer gets started he
must keep regular hours and do bis
Work in the proper time, and it is thi'j
