The health and vigor of full grown
OK depend greatly upon the food and
care it receives when young. If badly
reared it cannot be expected to become
a profitable beast.
Rye sown among corn, ahead of the
cullivator, at the last working of the
corn will make good crop to turn under
in the spring. It will keep the ground
80 much drier and warmer that it can
b. worked earlier in the season, which is
OF itself an advantage, Independent OF
the value as a manure.
The essentials in keeping butter in
summer consist in making it properly,
and having a cool place to keep it, and
excluding it from the air No butter
eau be safely packed in warm weather
which is not perfectly made, nor can it
then be kept if exposed to the air.
Dairy rooms cooled with a cheap refrig-
orator are coming into use now among
butter makers, both for setting milk and
keeping butter, and with ice and salt
secure low temperature at small COST
The best packages for keeping butter q
| long time IN warm weather are made of
tin, and wOOl-liued. When filled, the
cover is 50 dsrtd on and made air-tight
From lifetime's experience and OBJ
| servatiOn l would say, plant trees as
early as possible in the spring; get all
] the roots you can plant so they stand
as they did in the nursery; grsdually
| trim them up to seven feet from the
ground; suffer from three to five
main limbs to grow; trim the
suckers each year, and the
liui that interfere or lay on one anoth-
er. Let the limbs grow pretty thick
the leaves are the feeders that extract
tOod from the air; the more limbs the
more leaves. Many orchards soon die
from close pruning. Cultivate the land
Tor ten years il you can spare 3 coat OF
manure each year. The last lot of trees
we added to an orchard we farmed the
land "a we de our fields and allowed the
land TO lie in grass. The trees have
grown well. I notice many orchards
treated in that way; the trees do not
grow SO fast as when cultivated each
year We washed our trees with soft
s ap each year at first, and then each al
ternate year. It destroys the lice, anC
the bark becomes a nice yellow color

Those who know how easily cabbage ii
put up and preserved in the sauer- kraut
condition, will have at once q good idef
of the ensilage method of preserving
green fodder for the tenants of our sta
bles. The two processes are substan
TALLY the same, only that in ensilage
which deals in large amounts of material
large trench or pit in the ground take
the place of the wooden stand in which
the coSrsely cut cabbage is pounded
pressed and tightly covered up. Hea

decay-sre thus excluded to a grea

are retained, and the digestibility apps
