and so far the experiment has proved sutis-

may test the value of the food and the rich

1t is well known that fowls Of nearly all
kinds are very fond Of vegetables, especially
cabbage, and even tomatoes when ripe. The
French peasantry, acting upon this knoWl-
edge, boil or steam carrots and feed LIBERAL
y, which kind of food not only produces fat
very rapidly, but gives peculiar and sweet
flavor to the flesh. The experiment has
been SO successful that the largest poultry
raisers for the city markets have adopted
the method in connection with wheat and
find it very profitable. For egg production.
the French were the first 10 discover the
merits of wheat. and they at once adopted it
as the best feed for fowls when laying.

WHEN TO CUT WHEAT.

Although the crop may promise well, the
real value of it in money to the farmer, will
depend in a great measure upon how it is
harvested. In regard to the best time for
cutting wheat, it is the experience of many
that it is better 10 begin the moment it is
"out OF the milk and under no circum-
stances to let it stand any longer after that
time than is necessary to get over the
ground with the harvesting machine. The
grain then, may seem too green, but it will
mature into just as fine quality. and greater
quantity certainly, than il allowed to stand
until dead ripe and shell out even if whole
heads are not lost by ''criukling'' and going
back TO the ground. Commence early and
you will get through the earlier and better
for it, and have more money for your labor
in the end. After all the expense, labor
and uncertainty passed through to natures
crop, it Is OF the utmost Importance, OF
course, to save 1t all in the best manner at
the last end, and il farmers would generally
begin harvesting earlier, we believe the re-
suits would show not only a better grade of
wheat, but larger yield secured. besides
the many other advantages all good farm
ers will appreciate, of getting their work
well along seasonably, and ahead of any
possible delays from the weather or other
causes. .--Osbo,me Monthty.

If 400 plants are set there may safely be tour

How to Plant.-Select Il good bit Of soil,
all the better if it was in potatoes last year.
and if practicable within sight of the house,
and prepare it u>t aS you would for Il good

of the best manure well worked in. Mark
ous the rows two feet apart, three if culti-
vator is to be used, and set the plants one
foot apart in the row, using trowel to
open then the ground, and when the plant
is put in, crowd the soil down firmly over
the roots with both hands. Thereafter run
the cleltivator, hoe, or rake, often enough
to make the soil mellow andaieep down the
weeds. The plants will by and by throw
out runners; turn them into the row and
let them take root. For the after trent
ment of the bed, consult Notes about
Work. at the proper season.
Raising Plants.-If it is preferred TO buy
a few plants to start with and raise a stock
to put out next year, set these two feet
apart each way, and let runners form. Ash
es are very useful to promote growth Of run
ners. Finally, plant strawberries--and do

a luxury, but an abundance. There is just

which plants may be set this spring and
