You are safe to buy an old sire,
but don't get him very fat.
Wln'or Is the time to plan for im

The horses snould be given at
least one feed of mixed hay a day.
If you did not save enough good
seed for the farm crops, lose no time
in getting enough to plant your
crops. Get the best that can be had,
regardless of the price.
It is not breeding alone that is
going to determine the future useful
ness of the cow, but it must be sup
ported by liberal feeding, dally care
and careful observation.
A few sweet apples or lumps of
sugar Is likely to prove much more
effective than a whip in n-curing
obedience from an intelligent,
spirited highly bred colt, or even a
mature animal of tho horse kind.
Preventive measures in wardiig off
sheep troubles not only eliminate
tedious treatment, Tiut sustain the
physical state of the animals In the
most natural and desirable condi
tion for breeding purposes.
The setting hen must be protect
ed from lice. She offers a snlendid
breeding place for these parasites,
ana unless something Is dono to
check their growth in the nest the
chickens will toe hatched under seri
ous handicap.
The cow must have a good breath
ing apparatus, indicated by a largo
nostril, wide breast and good width
across the floor of the chest.
Never jump from tho wagon when

"There Is ono slnglo means for

repeated application of cafbon-sul-phldo
(sulfure do bnrbone) on the
affected tubers.
"Mr. Bouvler, having laid stress
on tho clanger of tho propagation of
this parasite, which is to bo as much
feared for potatoes as tho Phylloxera
Is for grape vines, Messrs. Leon
Labbo and do Freycinet, who aro
mombers of tho Senate as well as of
the Academy of Sciences, declared
that they would request the Mlnis
Ister of Agriculture to take steps Im
mediately." Cutting Back Frozen Peach Tores.
Ono of tho most experienced or
chardists and nurserymen in Penn
sylvania wroto to Prof. (H. A. Sur
face of Harrlsburg, asking what
should bo done with peach trees of
which he sent a sample of wood.
They were so badly frozen that they
were brown when freshly cut.
Thousands of peach growers this
year need tho information which
was given, and which was as fol
lows: " Tho wood is too badly frozen to
recover unless It Is cut back well.
I should cut at least two-thirds of
the top out of such a tree, but I
should not cut It so that it is cut
to mere stubs without buds. I mean
to say, that I would leave branches
with their full bud length, rather
than dehorning all of them to
stubs. Leave some leaf buds on
your trees to start tho sap going.
When you cut out a tall branch
make tho cut just above a living
sldo branch upon which good strong
leaf buds are to be found.
" The strongest leaf buds of your
peach tree will start and grow, just
as they would develop if the twigs
were cut off and placed In water, 'but
they aro liable to die during the
summer, because the cambium layer
of the twigs, which is the vital
means of connection between bud
and root, is killed by this freezing.
The important point to bear in mind
in pruning a frozen tree is, that It
will not stand topping back to stubs
as severely as in pruning for bad
scale infestation.
"As a fruit grower, you will be
interested in knowing that there
may possibly be a two per cent,
peach crop this year in this region,
(but I think not more than that."
Pure Milk From Clenn Dairies.
Milk is either our greatest bless
ing or our greatest curse. Good
milk means health and strength.
Bad milk brings with it disease and
often death. Typhoid fever, tuber
culosis and many other diseases aro
carried by impure milk. Therefore,
it is important that the public takes
an interest in the farmer and tho
dairy and sees that milk Is careful
ly handled. Dirty, Illventllated
cowstables, which are not properly
drained, are splendid breeding places
for germs. Do not buy milk that
comes from dairies such as these.
When you get milk make sure
that it comes from a tuberculin
tested nerd. This means that none
of the cows have tuberculosis. In
the best typo of dairy tho cow is
groomed before she is milked. She
Is not allowed to switch her tall
across her Hanks and drop dirt and
germs into the milk. Tho manure is
removed from the stable each day.
Tho yard is clean and dry. Con
venient to the barn is a milk houso
where the milk is bottled. Hero
there is a sterilizer, steam, Ico and
everything else needed to keep tho
milk pure.
If you are interested in keeping
well take an interest In the kind of
milk that you drink and seo that It
comes from a good dairy farm.

Y?rr fc 1 on yu can et now not onty e arm
J? KJl P.UU Journal for four full years, but also
your choice of any one of the famous booklets, "Money-making
Secrets," which other people have bought by the hundred thousand.
Just note what the information given in one of these booklets, "The
Million Egg-Farm," did for Robert Liddle, a clerk of Scranton, Pa.
In May, 1910, Robert bought 2300 day-old chicks. He spent
week studying the methods now given in this book, his only preparation for the business.
Result this "greenhorn" raised 95 per cent, of all his chicks, and 1350 of them were pullets.
("Poultry Secrets" tells you this secret.) In less than seven months he was getting 425
eggs daily, and selling them at 58 cents a dozen. His feed cost averaged $4.00 a day, leaving
him OVER $17.00 A DAY PROFIT, and this before all his pullets had begun laying.
Isn't "Money-making Secrets" a good name for such booklets?
Read what people say of the other booklets, and of the Farm Journal itself:
I find your Egg-Book wortli untold dollars, says
Roy Cdaniv, Illinois, "What it tells would take a Let-inner years
to learn."
"I am much pleased with the Butter Book," writes
F. J. Dickson, Illinois, "and would like to know how I could
secure 300 copies, one for each patron of our creamery."
"Duck Dollars is the best book I ever h.il im
duck-raiiiue," says V. M. Warnoik, I'cnna.
"If your other booklets contain as much valuable
information as the Kcc-llook, I would consider them cheap at
double the price," saysl". W. Manshemj. New York.
T. F. McCuea, a missionary in China, writes, '"I
found Garden Clold .1 creat help in my Garden this summer. I
Inst my health in the creat famine, trying to save the starving
Chinese, and I am trying to crt it hack by setting near to the
soil. Alter a long tussle with the Chinese languace and mission
problems, it is a creat rest to cet out with the vegetables,
trees, chickens, etc. I am sawng money and regaining my
health. My wife and I both find 1'aku Journal indispensable.
"The Farm Journal beats them all," writes T. II.
Pottex, I'cnna. "Every issue has reminders and ideas worth a
year's subscription."
"One year I took another agricultural paper,"
says N. M. Cladwin, Washington, "and it took a whole column
to tell what 1'aku Journal tells in one paragraph."
"I was very greatly helped by your garden page,"
writes Mrs. Joe Lawrence, Saskatchewan. "I was never
successful in crowing cabbage until last summer, when I tried
the 1'aku Journal way. Now I have more than 1 need to use."
"Farm Journal, was a regular visitor at my boy
hood home, writes Dr. William Davis, New Jersey. When
the first copy came, it carried me back ten years, and I felt a boy
again. I shall never be without it again I want home to seem
like home. When it arrives, I feel the gladness jump right into
me. 1 begin on the first pace and read to my wife until half.past
ten. and all through the month I drink of its cream. You must
work hard to keep it so rich."
"Farm Journal is good for the man behind the
counter, as well as the man in the field," says J. I. Sloat, a
Virginia bank clerk.
"If I could get as good interest on every dollar as
I cet from the Faru Journal, I would soon be a millionaire."
