Open up tlie hen house on bright
days.
Intensive methods are needed In the
dairy as well as in other lines of farm-
ing.
Clean, dry bed for the horses should
be the rule. A horse that has been
compelled to lie on bare boards or
upon wet manure Is in no condition
for work the next day.
Do your hauling from the fields or
to the fields in the morning before the
sun has had a chance to soften tip the
ground and cause the wagon wheels to
pick up lots of sticky mud.
Don't put off until the last minute
the looking over the incubators and
brooders. Be sure they are in good
shape. If they need new parts or old
ones need repairing, attend to it now.
Keep picked up around the home-
stead, and around the stock buildings,
too. Nothing is so sure an index of
the character of the farmer as the
condition of the grounds about his
place.
Are you carelessly letting the liquid
manure go to waste? It is the most
valuable part of the manure. Save it
either by tight gutters running to a
cistern, or use plenty of absorbents to
soak it up.
Foot-rot in cattle should be treated
with water three parts and sulphuric
• acid one part after the affected part
has been thoroughly cleansed, or It
should be smeared with pine tar and
a bandage tied between the claws and
about the pastern to keep out the dust.
Have a manure shed where you can
keep the manure spreader standing.
Have It handy to the barn so that the
manure can be dumped into the spread-
er when the barn is cleaned each
morning. Then when the wagon is
full haul to the field and put on the
land at once.
Money made by farming is the clean-
est, best money in the world. It is
made in accordance with God's first
law, under honest influences, away
from the taint of trade, or the fierce
heat of speculation. It fills the pockets
of the farmer at the expense of no
other. His gain is no man's loss; but
the more he makes the better for the
world at large.
Plan for a little early lettuce next
season. Seed can be sown in hotbed
or greenhouse in February or March
and transplanted to open ground out-
doors as soon as a piece of land can
be put in thorough working order.
Some time may be gained by growing
the plants in hotbed or cold frame
covered by glass sash and protected
by mats or shutters when necessary.
Make the farm and the home some-
thing besides just a place for work if
you would tie the boys and the girls
to it. The farmer who thinks only
of the work he is going to get out of
his children and who thinks more of
the farm and the stock than he does
of his boys and girls need not be sur-
prised that they are anxious to break
away from the farm when they are
old enough to choose for themselves.
"The time is at hand when the farm-
er will wake up from his Rip Van
Winkle sleep and look after his busi-
ness interests the same as other busi-
ness men do," writes one of our farm-
ers. Yes, some of them are already
awake and are pushing methods and
measures by which farmers are get-
ting closer together and forming plans
whereby they may have something to
say as to the prices they will get for
their produce.
. Not much fun pulling the frozen
cornstalks from the outdoor shock.
Remember last winter when you were
doing the same thing you promised
yourself that you would either build a
silo and put it up or you would shred
it and store it in the barn loft, but you
didn't, and now you are having an un-
comfortable and disagreeable task of
getting the fodder to the stock and
they are not finding it very good eat-
ing. Let it be a lesson to you, and
be sure and plan to have things dif-
ferent another winter.
Push the fattening pigs to mtu'kot
condition.
Peed green bone If you would set
fiest results from your flock.
Best results in fattening hogs art"
obtained where the basis of the ration
is corn.
Is your hog pen filthy because of im-
proper drainage. Remedy the defect
at once.
Ease the burdens of the wife by
cleaning your boots thoroughly before
entering the house.
Part of the winter leisure ought to
be used for the repairing and painting
of the farm machinery.
If you cannot get a stand of alfalfa
grow red clover or blue grass as pas-
turage for your hogs.
Remember, the best seed is none
too good. It is a losing game to labor
over seed of low germinating power.
Begin a course of reading for the
winter months which will better
equip you for the farm work next
season.
You need grit and so do the hens.
The right kind of grit in you will
make it certain that the right kind of
grit gets into the hens.
While sheep are growing wool and
making mutton for you they are clean-
ing the fields of weeds and spreading
valuable manure over the land.
Study your flock so as to know
which are your best birds. Then use
the selected stock for breeding pur
poses next spring and thus build up
your flock in quality.
The sheep that are left to fill up on
the frost-bitten, snow-covered pasture
will not thrive, you may be sure. Give
hay and grain ration if you want to
make your flock profit earners.
In feeding growing stock remember
that there is need of a constantly in-
creasing ration. They need food to
build the larger frame and they need
food to supply the daily bodily needs.
The right treatment will remove
ring bone on vourig horses. If the ani-
mal walks on the toe use a high-heeled
shoe. When Inflammation is active
adopt soothing measures, and then se-
vere blistering or even firing may be
resorted to.
The form of the skull of the hog de-
pends on nutrition, health and the em-
ployment of the^muscles of the head
and neck in rooting. Where hogs are
well nourished, their skulls are round-
er and firmer than in the case of hogs
poorly nourished. Rooting helps to de-
velop a longer skull and snout.
It is claimed by a French naturalist
that if the world should become bird-
less, man could not inhabit it after
nine years' time, in spite of all the
sprays and poisons that could be man-
ufactured for the destruction of in-
sects. The insects and slugs would
simply eat all the orchards and crops
in that time.
Dried refuse from tomato canneries
analyzed by the Ontario experiment
station shows a content of 2.54 per
cent, nitrogen, 3.28 per cent, phos-
phoric acid and 0.64 per cent, potash.
Assuming 75 per cent, of moisture for
the material as it leaves the factory,
the amounts would be: Nitrogen,
0.64 per cent., phosphoric acid 0.82 per
cent, and potash 0.16 per cent., a com-
position comparing favorably with thai
of barnyard manure.
Dairy farmers will watch with inter-
est the joint investigations of the Wis-
consin and Illinois experiment sta-
tions on tuberculosis cows. The work
of either station will serve as a check
on that of the other, inasmuch as the
experiments at Madison will be similar
to those at Urbar.a. The bacteriolo-
gists of the two stations will be in
charge of the work. Inasmuch as Illi-
nois and Wisconsin are the two great-
est dairy stations in the country, the
co-operation of these two stations will
be of great significance in the new
movement to eradicate tuberculosis
from the herds of the country.
Here is a move in the right direc-
tion. It is nothing else than a pro-
posal on the part of the Kansas ex
periment station to begin a study of
boys and girls. As Prof. McKeever
puts it: "If a farmer has a horse that
balks in the harness or a cow that
acts queerly and runs off the reserva
tion he can write to the nearest gov-
ernment experiment station and
secure a printed bulletin or
a letter on the subject from
a high-salaried expert, but if the
refractory creature chances to be his
16-year-old son or his fledgling daugh-
ter he has no recourse other than to
fight the case out alone, assisted per-
haps only by a despairing wife." Ten
or more bulletins will be issued deal
ing with the best way to handle this
"best crop cn the farm."
KING OF LUNCHEON DISHES.
Chicken Saute a Real Delicacy Pre*
pared in Following Manner.
Remember In preparing this dish
that it is only one course of your
luncheon menu, so when you have
drawn and wiped your chicken dry.
cut It into small sections, discarding
the back and neck for future use in
making stock. Cut the breast Into at
least three pieces, and do not use the
giblets at all. Melt two tablespoons
of clear bacon drippings and lay the
chicken in this, turning It often so
that it mellows in the bacon grease,
but does not fry brown. Cover, set
on the back of the stove, and let it
steam half an hour. It should not be
permitted to burn down. Roll each
piece separately in fine breadcrumbs
already seasoned with salt and pep-
per. Pour ofT any liquid or broth that
may be left in the skillet to use in
the gravy, and add fresh bacon grease
or a little butter or both. Brown the
chicken in this grease, remove, drain
and arrange on a hot platter. To the
drippings left in the pan add one ta-
blespoon ful of flour, rub smooth and
then add whatever liquor you may
have poured from the chicken and half
a cup of rich, sweet milk or thin
cream. When this comes to a boll
add one cup of canned asparagus tips
which have been drained, a pinch of
ground mace, a few drops of lemon
juice and the yolk of one egg. Just
as it coraes to a boil, "and before the
yolk of the egg curdles, pour over
the chicken and serve piping hot.
MAKES A RICH DESSERT.
Reclp« for Cream Nut Pie That Will
Serve Eight Persons. |
One baked pastry shell, one pint
inilk, three whole eggs and two whites,
one tablespoonful cornstarch, one cup-
ful sugar, one teaspoonful almond ex-
tract, one pint of whipping cream, and
one cupful English walnuts, ground
fine.
Wray of Preparing.—Beat the whole
eggs and the whites until thick, then |
add the sugar and cornstarch sifted to- ;
gether. Then add the milk. Place {
this mixture in a double broiler and
cook, stirring all the time. When j
thick remove from the fire and allow |
it to cool. When cold add the flavor-
ing and nuts and fold in one half of I
the cream whipped until stifr. Then I
place this in the shell. Flavor and
•weeten remaining half of the cream
and whip very stiff. Place this on
top of the cream nut mixtures, sprin-
kle with chopped nuts and serve.
This is very rich and will serve
eight persons.
Salmon Patties.
These make a good dish for lunch-
eon or dinner, whether served hot or
cold. Mince freshly boiled or canned
salmon fine and season well with salt,
pepper, cayenne, and a grating of nut- j
meg. Rub In a small quantity of but-
ter and bind with the beaten yolk of
an egg. Line tart tins with puff paste,
fill with the salmon mixture, cover
each with a cover of paste, trim
around the edges, moisten, and press
together. Bake in a hot oven.
Makes Pain Go Away
Are you one of the ones who pay in toil
For your right of way through this
life?
If so you will find Hunt's Lightning Oil
A friend which will aid in the strife.
To those who earn their own way by
their own labor, accidents occur with
painful frequency. Burns, bruises, cuts
j and sprains are not strangers to the
| man who wears corns on his hands. A
I better remedy for these troubles does
not exist than Hunt s Lightning Oil.
Meteor? Add to Earth's Weight.
The meteors which fall upon the
earth in vast numbers every year add
their weight to the earth. Thus the
earth Is Increasing a minute quantity
in weight each year, but not enough
to be perceptible in thousands
of years. Except for the escape of
light gases from the atmosphere there
is no known way in which the eartb
can lose weight.
"It Knocks the Itch"
It may not cure all your ills, but It
does cure one of the worst. It cures
any form of itch ever known—no mat-
ter what It Is called, where the sensa-
tion Is "itch," it knocks It. Eczema,
Ringworm and all_the rest are relieved
at once and cured by one box. It's
guaranteed, and its name Is Hunt's
Cure.

$20.00 per acre as a result of one crop.
Spring wheat, winter wheat, oats, barley,
flax and peas are the principal crops, while

best cattle that have ever been sold on
the Chicago market.
Splendid climate, schools and churches

Mock Whitebait.
This is a London dish recently in- I
troduced here. To prepare it parboil |
an egg plant in salted water, then j
cut in little strips the size and shape |
of the whitebait. Shake in a plate of j
flour until dusted all over, then put in |
a frying basket and fry in deep fat to
a crisp, golden brown. Drain, dust
with cayenne, and serve with lemon
and slices of buttered brown bread.
Creamed Celery and Cabbage.
A palatable dish can be made of the
outside and roots of several stalks of
celery which is not tender enough for
table use. Chop up fine with half-head
of cabbage, boil half hour, season with
pepper and salt, one tablespoon of but-
ter, boil nearly dry, then thicken with
tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in
little cold water; add cup of cream or
rich milk.
Sour Cream Soup.
A fine winter soup, containing
enough nourishment to constitute a
full meal Is made by the following
Dutch recipe: Four medium sized po-
tatoes, one-half pint of sour cream, one
egg and one lump of butter the size
of an egg. Pare and slice the pota-
toes and boil in three pints of water.
When done add butter and salt to
taste, and then the egg and cream,
well beaten together. Do not boil
after cream Is added or it will curdle.
Pour over squares of stale bread and
serve hot
Cooked Grains.
Put the calf's or sheep's brains in
strong salt water for an hour, skin
them, put them in a saucepan with a
piece of salt and enough cold water
to cover them, a tablespoonful of vine-
gar, three or four black and white
peppercorns, sprig of thyme, parsley
and bayleaf, and one sliced onion, and
let them come to the boil.
The brains cooked thus will keep
well, and can be used in many ways,
either for breakfast, luncheon or din-
ner. served with some nice aauce.
