THE AUSTRALIAN GARDENER. September 1. 1908 
Efours of Luife 
are those spent in the home, in easy enjoyment 
of pleasing melodies. 
No need for husband, wife, or children to go 
to clubs, theatres, or other places of amusement, 
when home is made bright and attractive by 
the genuine 
Edison Phonograph. 
You may appreciate classical music and beau- 
tiful compositions though you may not be able 
to render the same yourself. The EDISON 
PHONOGRAPH will bring this delight to your 
house regardless of your personal ability. It is 
the best response to the constant cry of the. 
human race for something to amuse it. It. is.

In order that a cow may yield milk 
of the best quality she should be young, 
well-bred, and in good health. 
Hurry never delivers the goods in best 
order. 
If a child loses only a half-penny, it is 
scolded ; if it should lose a shilling, 
quite a fuss is made. And yet no one 
seems to bother about the large amounts 
that are yearly lost by careless manage- 
ment of the manure heap. 
Those farmers who pay attention to 
details, keep good cows, use improved 
machinery, and guard against leakages of 
all kinds, are the ones who will ride on 
the prosperity train. Those who neglect 
their opportunities must bring up 
the rear as best they can. 
Of the 6,000 creameries in the United 
States something like 1806 are co- 
operative. The proportion of co-operative 
concerns is gradually increasing. The 
annual output is about 500,000,000lb., 
which sold during 1907 for an average of 
28 cents per lb. This means a gross 
return of approximateely 140,000,000 
dollars, or about £28,000,000. 
A. seven-year-old bullock, weighing 
2,6351b, was recently slaughtered at 
Nelson, New Zealand, and weighed after 
dressing 1,8501b. The fat on his back 
was a foot thick. 
The pig is naturally a forager, and when 
he is kept confined in the pen and fed 
only with grain he is in artificial con- 
dition, and his general character is 
changed; he is not the healthy meat- 
making animal he could be if he could 
have more liberty and a wider range of 
diet. 
A poor sow is in no condition to make 
a large litter of pigs. Of course the sow 
should not be over fat, and she isn’t likely 
to be over fat if she has plenty green 
food, isnot fed with too much corn, and 
has plenty of range. 
Indifference about the bedding of 
suckling pigs produces many diseases 
that the farmer is very slow to attribute 
to his poor care. 
Radical difference in treatment and 
sudden changing of food sometimes re- 
sults in disadvantage and damage to the 
health and thrift of the hog.
