The open winter weather prophet has been having a great deal to say this fall, but he has a long time to Butler, Mo. and say, ‘‘l told you so,” with any degree of success. In a fall like this one has ne the cattle will pick up a good deal of feed in the stalk field, but it is a mistake to consider itas good as a pasture. After the first few days the milk cows must have a little feed at the barn as a side dish if they are .to do their best. Now is the time when the young shoats will pay for rods and rods of the woven wire fence that encloses the farm so that they can follow the cattle into the cornfield and pick up what would otherwise go to waste. The keenest buyers of stockers in this vicinity this fall are those who |have had one or mors years of ex- perience in feeding silage and have their silos filled now. It will also be noted that they must go to those who have nosilos to find their stock cattle. ‘There is a reason’”’ andhere is hoping that their feeding proves a success.

Ofcourse, when buried, you care of coarse feed, such as course ‘roughness. I do not like to winter work horses on fodder exclusively that is, to make it the exclusive roughness ration. A few acres of blue grass close winter exercise ground for horses. Where blue grass will grow, it pays to have a few acres of it close around the buildings, where it is handy. No one can tell how soon a snow will fall that may lay on the ground for several weeks. The change from fall tothe winter can come in short order, sometimes. It isa good plan to keep all tools picked up off the ground, to avoid being buried in the never know exactly where to £0 to dig for them. * I never object to the road or the school tax. Both of these are for a good cause, and the benefits come right back to us. I, for one, believe the expense of conducting our coun- ty offices could be greatly reduced under commission system, leaving more of the tax we pay for the build- ing of the roads and the benefit of schools. for shipment will show that farmers are disposing of the odds and ends of their herds before winter sets in. Just what the packers do with some of such stuff is hard to say, but meat is meat to all meat eaters. The dairy cow has been receiving a great deal of attention during the past few years, and she deserves it, because she is a money maker ‘and a table,.on this most glorious feast day ‘‘Christmas’’.

It may be rather more to the comfort of the stock to have a larger range, but it is wasteful of manute. When manure is but an inch or two deep over a half acre of ground, not many are liable to go to the trouble of gathering it up clean. ~ There are worse shelters for cattle than hay sheds. They are warm when well built, but the difficulty is to keep them well built. We used to say, whenall sheds were build of hay and poles, that wherever there was stuff cattle would not eat in the racks, they would clean it all up if put in their shed. This was a fact, too. One does not see as many cows wearing yokes as used to be the case. Ican remember when almost every other cow was a fence breaker. That was in the day when the barb wire was high in price, consequently no fence was built of more than two wires, and I can remember seeing many “fences’’ made of but one wire. Poor fences bring up a race of fence-breaking cattle. Now that fences are better the deportment oJ our cattle is better. If you want the “‘best”’ garden and the finest flowers around the house, work the ground before winter. This gives ita chance to “‘freeze out,’’ and it will be in better condition for the early starting of vegetables and flowers in the spring. I plowed our garden the other day, but I notice Mrs. Furrows has not yet spaded the flower beds. The Poultry Market and the Governorship | From the advertising columns of the esteemed Missouri Ruralist we clip the following: THE GOVERNOR'S | FINE TURKEYS A few of the young Mammoth Bronze turkey toms for sale at $10 ‘each. Bred from the largest and best strain of turkeys in Missouri. | Prize winners at State show, and first Prize at Missouri State Fair. Send your order at once to GOV. HERBERT S. HADLEY, Jefferson City, Missouri. The Republic makes it a rule rigid- \ly toexclude from its editorial col- |umns anything savoring in the least |of advertisement. But what the | wealth of a Carnegie could not pur- i chase may be freely given upon the gentle compulsion of sweetcharity. Now that we stop to think of it, this has been a long, cold autumn. On top of that, Gov. Hadley finds himself occupying a house which has been leased to another tenant for a term of years, and will of necessity step out \into the icy blasts of a pitiless Janu- ary. Many a manhasbeen compelled under such circumstances to sacrifice his goods and chattels on a market in which the bears danced in unholy glee while the bulls had taken to the woods. Turkeys are delicate birds, and akward to move in suit cases and such. The governor does well to sell them in advance. A Scotsman, just elected to an of- fice in the kirk, found no one at home but the cow. Clasping her about the neck, he exclaimed: ‘“O crummie, crummie, ye’re nae a common coo; ye’re the deacon’s coo!’’ The Re- public begs to point out that these are not common turkeys; they’re the Governor’s Turkeyst Nor is this all; the Governor’s Fine Turkeys, more- betoken! In England butter offered in market is sometimes stamped with a ducal coronet. Gov. Hadley’s plan is a close second. It seems a pity that the mutations of politics should have relegated to private life a genius that inthe course of time might have enlivened the ad- vertising columns of the agricultural press with offers to dispose—for a Lancashire Swine, the Governor’sfine Red-breasted Black-winged Game Bantams, the Governor’s Backward- swimming Geese, the Governor’s Shanghai Fowls, warranted to eat corn out of any crib, and to roost on both sides of the fence at once.—Re- public.
