We have German farmer in this neigh.
borhood who sets us all a good example
lie commenced life as hired man. He
has now one of the best farms in the town,
and Is adding acre to acre. Whatever he
does is done well. He never seems to be
in hurry. But he commences to pillow in
the spring before some ofus begin to think
about getting the plows ready, and he has
ten or twenty acres of barley sown before
some of us have plowed a furrow. He is
always ahead. Everything is in its place
everything in good repair and ready for
use ut moments notice His land is
getting cleaner every year--and | was GO
ing to say richer, but | am not so sure on
this latter point. | have sometimes
thought he was running his land rather
hard. But there is certainly no diminu-
ton in the crops. His farm would sell for
30 per cent more than he paid for it, while
other farms have not increased in value
The secret Of success, in his case, is first
in the man himself--in his industry,
sobriety and good judgment And in the
next place | think it is due principally to
the fact that he plows early, and plows
late, and plows WELL and plows often and
he uses the harrow and the roller until his
soil is mellow and in good order for the
seed. Then he cultivates his corn ana po-
tatoes and beans the moment he can see
the rows, and he suffers not weed to
grow and go to seed. | ought to add that
he has five energetic sons 20 help him, and
while he hires little or no labor there is a
large amount of work done on the farm
In fact, say what you will, there is, never
has been, and never will be, good farming
without the expenditure of considerable
labor. 81 have always employed a good

first put on the stove, and do not cook

make a very nice sauce, pare and quarter
them and lay in sugar for twenty four
hours, using about quarter of pound

Cored apples are excellent boiled. Put

are done they can be skinned out and a

cooking longer.
For buildings, pies and tarts, apples are
better if grated. Use large CRATER, such
as is used for grating horse. radish. This
grated apple mixed with milk, cream, or
