While there is no use crying over spilt milk it is best to be careful not to spill the milk. When the roads| are drifted so that a tip-over is likely it is a good plan to put the can covers on 'so that a piece of twine can be slipped through the hole in the rim of the can and tied. . This will hold the| cover firmly and prevent a spill. Tam not much of a politician, but some way I can’t agree with those eastern writers who want the duty removed from foodstuffs and at the! same time keeping it as high as pos-/| sible on their own manufactured products. If this theory is put into | practice farmers will have to pay the | ;very top price for everything they , buy and get the bottom price for ev- erything they have to sell.

Last week I was reminded of the | fact that flax straw isn’t as good as it jused to’ be, or my cattle have ad- | vanced along the social scale so they ‘will not look at it. I hauled a load ‘and put in the feed rack last week \and they haven’t touched much of it yet. Years ago cattle would eat flax straw greedily and it was considered valuable roughness. ; Aman has pretty good earthly re- | ligion when his neighbors say of him, “His word is as good as his note, and jany bank will take his note at less | than the usual rate of interest.” things are not commercial, ;man who is.straight in commercial | deals sets not a bad example. One of my Kansas friends asks for ithe privilege of registering a kick: . against a pamphlet being circulated, which booms Kansas, but has for its title, ‘‘Kansas, the -Doorstep to the Temple of Plenty.’’ My Kansas friend says Kansas is not the doorstep to the temple of plenty, but is the temple itself. Some of the railroad companies have put the ban on the use of cigarettes by employes. If farmers had stopped their hired help from smoking the coffin nails ten years ago, a great many more good barns would be standing throughout the country. Mrs. Furrows remarks that eggs pay better than butter now. The last time I took some of both to town the eggs brought twenty-six cents a dozen and butter. twenty cents a pound.

The answer is easy. Fill it full of straw for bedding. \ I have gotten over the notion that} cattle need a half a day in which to! drink. Some have water only in a} nearby pasture, and turn their cattle out, to stay there several hours, | whether it is cold or not. The best plan is to have the water in, the cor-| ral, but if this is not possible, have a| time to water and drive the stock in) when they have enough. | Seed advertisements and seed cata- | logs remind us that another growing, season will soon be with us. Here’s; hoping that each of us may be able| to gather some of the big crops that} the seedsmen tell us is possible. On the average farm, fifty hens! | bring as big returns as the best cow in the herd with less feed and care. | We are having dairy specials and} seed corn specials. Why does not} some railroad start a hen special? It would at least give them something _ to crow about. | Those who made preparations for an open winter have no doubt found out that an open winter has a habit of | closing like a steel trap when it gets, ready. | Next to a good supply of feed and| forage for man and beast a good sized bin of coal is the proper thing when the thermometer has one of its sink- ing spells. The farmer who has more straw than he needs for feed and bedding is an exception in these days of pro-| gressive farming, but many of us re- member when straw was “poled” away from the machine and burned or the machine was set to run the straw into a pond to get the straw out of the way.
