ft HAT I DON’T KNOW ABOUT FARMING
In Helling stock by live weight, it is a
good plan to feed each one about three
pails of water, and what other stuff can be
got down’em just before driving on the
scales. If the buyer has ever invested
much money on ’Change, ho will know
what “watered stock” means.
In holding the plow, I always prefer to
hold it in the house, seated in a rocking
chair, with my family clustered around me.
In planting hay, 1 always plant the long
est I can find, as short hay bends a per
son's back too much in cutting it.
In the matter of wheat, 1 always raise it
by the barrel, at a mill not faraway, as it
saves buying seed, plowing, sowing, crad
ling and threshing. I generally raise it on
a note.
In traveling through the country, I have
often noticed that farmers do not sufficient
ly regard the health of their animals. My
barn is arranged on a plan of my own. ft
is open on all sides, so that no creature
may have to stand out in a storm because
1 am asleep or away. This also saves lum
ber. All around the barn are benches on
which any animal can sit down when tired
of standing, or when waiting for some
thing or other to turn up. The sheriff says
my cattle always sell when my neighbors’
don't and he thinks it is all owing to my
economy, and I do not doubt it.
In subsoiling a piece of ground, I al
ways “plant” a mortgage on it the win
ter previous. It raises the biggest kind of
a crop, especially when you let the inter
est go behind. 1 hardly ever knew such
a sowing that didn’t turn out full as well as
the holder expected.
In raising hogs 1 think that many farm
ersare altogether too slack for their own in
er ests. Now suppose that I want to raise
a hog with the first club that comes handy,
but this lias a tendency to make the animal
discouraged and discontented.
I have my own ideas about training
horses. If 1 ever get hold of a horse in
clined to run away, I always borrow a bug
gy of some of mv neighbors, put him in it,
turn him into a lot, and let him run. lie
generally gets sick ol the fun by the time
the buggy is gone, but if be don’t hitch
him to any of the wheels that may bo left,
and keep him traveling. The owner of
the buggy always expresses astonishment
at my system, but the evidence of its suc
cess is there before him, and he cannot dis
pute the pieces.
If I ever get hold of a kicking cow I
always let Mrs. Quad sit down first to milk,
and 1 take my station near bj', to see what
foot the animal kicks with and how hard
she hits. My wife has a remarkably clear
memory, ami after coming to, she can gen
erally give me any little particulars which
I failed to note owing to distance. I then
get the cow into the stable, draw her up
with a windlass, until she is just evenly
balanced. Then I get a bag and fill it with
bricks, hang it within easy kicking dis
tance, and 1 stand off for developments,
livery time she comes down she hits the
bricks, and when she goes up, I have
another thing to apply to her in front,
and after she has gone through with this
oscillation two or three times, she never
kicks any worse, at least not until she
looks around for bricks.—M. Quad, Detroit
Press.
