BENEFITS OF GO0OD FENCES |
Nothing Adds More to General Ap- |
pearance of Farm Than Good |
Strong Fences—Prevent Trouble.
(By JOHN BAILEY BRUCE.)
Good fences make friendly neigh-
bods. Any man who keeps live stock
should have good fences and strong |
gates. Broken down fences and dilap-
fdated gates are a constant
of annoyance and trouble, Many |
valuable animals are injured by brok- |
en fences and gates, not always by |
the fence or gate itself, perhaps by |
getting out through the fence or gate |
into a field of clover or grain and
eating sufficient to (nuse bloat or by
getting into an apple orchard and

HOLDING FODDER FOR STOCK |
Device for Placing Cornstalks and
Other Feeds That Would Be
Thrown Out, Just Invented.
Fodder, such as cornstalks that are |
not shredded, {is frequently tossed |
out of manger and wasted. A |
device for holding this kind of feed |
against the wall In front of the
manger is shown in the {llustration,
the
Holding Food for Stock.
says a writer in the Popular Mechan-
fcs. It is made of 2 by 4 inch mate-
rial, about 3 feet long, hinged at the |
lower end and clamped at the top. |
The stalks are placed behind the up- |
right plece and securely clamped.
Several of these devices placed at
fntervals along the manger will make
it hard for the stock to pull the fod-
der out and waste it,
Dairy Products.
The cow will produce about seven
times a8 much human food per unit
of feed consumed as will the steer.
In fact, the cornstalks, leaves and
cobs produced on one acre of corn,
if fed to a steer, will provide material
for about 50 per cent. edible dry mat.
ter in the form of flesh, while If fed
to a dairy cow about 330 per cent.
edible dry matter will be produced.
National economy, then, would de
mand that our hill pastures and low-
jand meadows as well as the coarse
fodders of cultivated fields be em-
ployed In the production of milk.
Souring Cream.
The development of lactic acid, or
the souring of cream, does not in-
erease the butter fat content. As a
rule, when cream becomes sour it is
more difficult to test than when it is
sweet, The difficulty in obtaining an
accurate test of sour milk or cream
lies In the fact that it is not easy to
obtain an accurate sample.

the law forbids the selling of milk

We once heard a farmer at county
institute defend his practice of milk

the ground that he worked every day
A woman asked him if he did
the summer months. Not much
arguing with a man like that, but ex-
perience shows that it is much better

at least a month's rest during the
year.
