III11U About Driving,
Don't trot tht) horse down hill. It
jars the shoulders, weakens the ten

need to drive fust, send him along on
tho level anil when you como to an up
grade, let him break Into n run, then
take his time down hill. The change
from a trot to n run brings Into play
A different set of muscles and doe not
fatigue the horse so much as If he

When one sees a farmer buying ex
pensive grain nnd feeding It to stock
that are housed In bleak yard or In
cisures through which cold drafU

Is Indulging In expensive farming.
Any management of live stock or
farms that doc not return a handsome
profit Is expensive agriculture. Too
many Infer that expensive manage
ment of farms and lire stock Implies)
luxurious' buildings and high-priced

ital can be Invested In appointments
for remunerative operation of farms,
but all rural buildings should be sub
stantial and constructed for warmth
as well as ventilation.
It Is a wrong Idea that young cattle

Water for Farm Animal.
It Is admitted that water Is essential
to the well-being of humans, and It
this Is so, why should anyone presume
to think that animals can get along
with little or no water? Yet that Is
the plan on which many farmers work.
The cows and horses are, perhaps,
properly watered, but the other farm
animals are given llttlo water. In a
series of experiments carried on by the
writer a number of years ago It was
found that sheep, swine and poultry
gave us nearly 20 per cent better re
turns when regularly and carefully wa
tered than when the water was given
but occasionally.
That Is, the egg supply was larger
from the hens, and the sheep and hogs
kept to the desired weight More than
thhv we found tbero was less trouble
with diseases, particularly those that
bad the stomach for their base of at
tnck, it Is now a regular practice ta
give all the animals on the farm reg
ular supplies of clean water. In water
ing Uie sheep and swine, troughs are
provided and kept for the purpose.
After the animals have drank, the
troughs are removed, so that there Li
no chanco of them being defiled. It
will pay jvery time to water all farm
animals regularly and with clean wa
ter. Indianapolis News.
Clean, Quick Bap holllns.
In handling sap every precaution
should be taken to keep out dirt, and
the sooner the sap Is boiled after It
runs from the tree the better for th
quality of 'the sugar. A dark-colored
product Is far from dcslrnule, and
quick, clean work Is necessary to se
cure a clear, light shade. Maple sugar
Is marketed at a time of year when
there Is little else to sell from the
farm, and when other work Is not es
pecially rushing. Modern sugar mak
ing with modern utensils and business
like methods Is a profitable enterprise,
and a source of extra Income which
should not be neglected.
A Ituluou Method.
To depend upon the use of purchased
fertilizers, to the neglect of such as
can be produced on the farm for the
production of each year's crop, Is a
ruinous method, which, while It may
not prove Immediately disastrous. Is
sure to Impoverish succeeding genera
tions. American Cultivator.

1 had a remarkable crop of 7,000
bushels of apples this year, says A. D.
Appletree Humes of Wisconsin, and
by careful assorting and handling was
able to sell them for $1,215. I tell
you there Is nothing like systematic
sorting and enreful bundling to make
apple puy.

Wheu the colt Is growing, the hoofs
should be looked to occasionally to see

Cheap food Is always at the expensa
of quality.
Quality In food for poultry Is what
gives It value.
No food Is cheap that does not bring
paying results."
Damaged food Invites indigestion
and various bowel troubles.
Lack, of grit when snow covers the
ground endangers tho tlock's health.
Provide plenty of nests whero there)
nro many hens or pullets.
Grit, either oyster shells or crushed,
granite, should bo kept under cover
accessible to the poultry In all the
houses during the winter.
Keep the cockerels and pullets sep

you commence saving eggs for hatch
ing. Doth wilt bo the better for tho
