The Brussels Post, 1920-2-26, Page 6Care of Pregnant Ewes.
The chief items of proper manage -
merit to be remembered and put into
practise by the young shepherd are
that pregnant ewes must have plenty
of exercise, must be kept dry, and
must have such feed that their bowels
will lb0 active.

pRETTY good milking you will admit! Yet it is
Macartney double unit to milk a herd of this
size in less than an hour.
What thie means in dollars and cents is easily illustrated. The
average person milks about 8 COWS in an hour, by hand. Figur-
leg wages and bowl at 25 cents an hour, handmilicing one cow
costs about 8 conte or 75 cents for the entire herd. Twice a
day for 365 days means a wage expense of 5547.50.
At 25 cents an hour the labor cost per cow with the Macartney
Milker works out at 1 cent, or 25 cents per day. Twice a day
the year 'round this would mean a milking teat of 5182.50, oe a
yearly saving of 8865.00 through the use of the Macartney
Machine Milker.
Simple figures but very expressive. And remember that Macartney means

Try Some of These Vegetables.
Every gardener should try out
some new vegetables each year along
with the regular erops of standard
sorts,
Among the older vegetables which
should be given a trial is Swiss chard,
which gives quantities of succulent
leaves for greens from spring until
fon Another useful plant for greens
in the fall is kale, which stands much
cold without injury, Eggplant is a
line vegetable, but it is not widely
grown because of its delicate consti-
tution, It does well, however, if good
plants of the rhpht variety are set in
rioh ground, and the potato hugs or
other insects areyicked off,
Salsify and winter radishes aro
root crops valuttble for winter use.
The former vegetable has a distinet
oyster -like flavor, and the latter is
used as fresh finger radishes or is
cooked like .turnips.
Beds of warsiey, as well CB mint,
thyme and other herbs which ewe so
useful for flavoring purposes are not
found en many gardens, although
these plants renew themselves from
year to year without replanting.
Bed cabbage, although it is hand-
some, of extra quality, and sells for
twlee as much as ordinary cabbage,
is seldom seen,
All of these useful vegetables aro
being neglected by the garclenge. Of
ta'erse, most ettentIon should be
given to crops that, are already known
and liked, but every gardener should
