THE FARM HORSE TO HIS
MASTER '
Ob. Master good, the blistering sun
Beats down upon my head, K
As round- and round the furrowed field.
With weary steps I tread;
You ride behind me on the plow, . -
I'm glad that you can ride;
And willingly I toll for you
With patience and with pride.
The' dust drifts up in stifling clouds
And chokes and blinds me sore, - - " "
My collar chafes my sweltering neck -
As It has done before;
And long and sultry are the hours
Since I have had a drink, . ...
How parched and dry my throat must be
Dear Master, only think!. .
I saw You seek a shady place
And drink a cooling draft, ..
"I heard the water trickle down ;
As from the stream you quaffed.
If I could only plunge my nose
In water sweet and cool; -If
I could quench my burning thirst
A moment at the pool!
Oh, Master dear, we serve you well, ".. "
But oh, If you would think,
When oftentimes you quench your thirst '
How much we need a drink;
.And if a moment, now and then,
You'd rest us in the shade,
We'd feel for. all our patient toll .
That we were richly paid. -.

- separator obtains as much cream
from four cows as is obtained from

separator . method' gets 25 per cent
more cream .fro $i the' milk and this
will pay for a sptr'ltor in a year in a
dairy herd often.'or more cows. As
the cream I is separated while fresh
and sweetripeiiihg'cah be controlled
and butter of much better grade can
be 'secured than if the cream is raised
by gravity. The use of a separator
lightens the' work for the house-wife.
The machine is kept in a small room
adjoining the" barn and only the sep
arator, parts are brought from the
house. These instead of numerous'
pans and crocks are returned to the
exercise, and good sanitary quarters
are al necessary if the spring pig is
to be- thrif ty and profitable, says the
United , States Department of Agri

amount of grain or other concen
trated feed used would depend " on ,
hbw much pasturage is available, on
the cost factor ' of grain or other
feeds, on the age and condition of the
pigs, and the time at which the farm
er expects to market them.' To be
ready for . the early fall ' markets,
spring pigs must be fed a heavier
grain ration, than pigs intended for
the winter market.
Less protein supplement is needed
when pigs are run on leguminous
pastures. Under-nwst farm condi
tions the pigs will gain well on a'l
to 2 per cent grain ration." The self
feeding method makes for cheap and
rapid gains. If the grain ration is
limited, the hand-feeding method is
better. By feeding once a day in the
early evening, pigs take greater ad
