WINTER CARE OE BORSES
By J. M. Bell.
Why <lo so ninny farmers neglect
their teams during tho winter months?
By neglect I mean, why are so many

to give his owner the full equivalent

he cuts.

No farmer can get any one to take
the same pains in grading his seed
that he would himself. Some farmers
claim that It does not pay to clean
grain.
It Is a fact that it does not pay very
large returns to clean and grade grain
before seiling it, but by grading our

Oftentimes the stallions were taken

WHEAT BRAN COMES HIGH.
KEEP BARN YARDS CLEA!V
By B. J. Lyon.
It has always been a source of great
wonder to me how any dairyman can
expect to produce good milk when his
cows are compelled to wade through
mud and filth ln tho barn yard.
Even If the barn itself is scrupu-
lously clean—which it cannot be if the
yards are muddy—the odor arising
from a filthy barnyard will offset ail
the efforts made to keep the milk
clean when It comes from the cow
There is no one solution to fit all
barnyards. Each must be treated by.
Itself and to meet the conditions cx-l
lstlng ln it. If the yard is situated on
a gentle slope, all that will be needed
ls tile drainage, placed about six feet
apart. Tile will keep any barnyard
perfectly dry, but if there is only an
occasional low place in the yard the
tiling need not be placed so close to-
gether.
In some yards a great deal o|
brolcfen roclc, gravel and coal cinders]
are necessary to keep the ground in
good condition. If the ground is a
black heavy soil it may be kept rea-
sonably dry by covering it with thes<
materials. The first tiling to be don
is to remove the top soil to a depth o1
at least six Inches, then cover th
ground with tho largest broken rook,

used to produce a large flow of milk,
