FARM WoRK.-It is a matter of great
importance to the farmer, that he should
lay out the work of the season beforehand,
and now is the time to do it We need
much more thorough system in our farm
ing operations. Determine upon the fields
you will cultivate, and what shall be allot-
ted to oats, corn, rye, wheat, buckwheat,
potatoes and other root crops; what walls
shall be reset; and what bitches shall be
dug; and how much labor will be needed
10 accomplish the work. Leave nothing
TO be decided upon in histe. A great deaI
of time and mental labor will be saved. by
making your plans deliberately at the be-
ginning of the year. IL there are doubt
full matters, consult the best farmer in your
n~eighborhood, and give his opinion due
weight in your decision. A neighbor':
experience will often save a useless ex.
penditure of money and labor. Wher
your plans are laid, carry them out month
bymonth, and week by week, until the
year is completed. l you need capital
for your Legitimate business, hire it. YOU
can as well afford 10 pay interest for TIN:
purpose as any other business man. Turn
not aside to speculation in anything thai
you do not understand. Glory in the farm
and live by ii. ~

"The wife Of nm American ngriculturist

Take one pound of common sal-soda and
dissolve it in half a gallon Of warm soft

containing half a gallon of soft water, half
a pound OF fresh Stacked lime, and allow
il TO settle for fifteen minutes. Now pour
off the clear lime water into the vessel
containing the dissolved soda; stir all up
and allow il to settle; the clear liquor SC
formed is the famous washing fluid. Com

About a quart of this fluid mixed with

by assisting to remove the natural oil from

now should be adjourned over to June
Remove all dead limbs from fruit trees
Young apple trees should have their su-
perabundant wood thined out. Limbs that
cross each other should be removed. The
head of a tree may be trained to almost
any desirable shape, by early pruning
A low head, formed in the shape of an in

give the growing fruit the most air and
