MosT farmers keep currycembs, cards,

! brush applied TO their dirty sides? The
| dairy cows come out of the stable in the
| spring looking mere filthy than the swine
In the gutter. Does it pay to keep the
cattle clean? Ask any Intelligent farmer
| if it pays to use the brush on his horses,
and then ask him 10 point out reason
! why 1t does not pay equally as we'll to
| give the COWS the same attention and
IL the cultivation of garden crops the
hoe and rake should he continually al

before they are barely out of the seed
leaf, and one-half the usual labor of veg
etable gardening viii be avoided. Hoe

Is OF immense advantage in nearly every
case. One would suppose that in our
hot climate fiat culture would be much

sweet-scented flowers as possible Ihad
to ransack my memory for the materials
to enable me to do as desired On cogi-
tating over flowers and their odors
was.at once struck by finding that the
| greatest numbers of sweet-scented flow
erS are white, and out of all proportion
to the sweet-scented kinds in other
colors; yellow comes next; reds and
blues are somewhat on par, and their
various shades follow the types, but .hc
nearer they approach to white the more
