Farm Notes.

A cultivator is an article that should be allowed no rest by daylight. Keep it moving all the time.
 Let the hens set if they will, as late matched chicks will pay better than to waste time in breaking the hen from setting.
 CT states that by dusting paris green, mixed with flour, on plants, the cut worm is easily killed.
 The United States are fast becom- ing. if they have not already become. the first wool-producing country in the world. If this country is second it is second only to Australis, of which wool is the largest product.
 Trees that have good top-dressing of straw, chip manure, sawdust or shaw ings will be found growing well during the hot months, while they will ripen up all tie new wood well in the Fall.
 Baron Liebig says: ''The only meth cd by which you can possibly advance or develop agriculture is by experi- ments; that is the only plan, for there is no branch of industry so completely built up by experiment as agriculture" l"
 Every farmer should grow plenty of small and orchard fruits. When per fectly ripe they are healthful, and will keep the system in good order; but half ripe fruit is to be summed. A nice row of black berries, raspberries, entrants and the like around the garden fence affords substantial enjoyment.
 By the use of short whiffle-trees, and some kind of muzzle for tho horse. the cultivator or horse-hoc can be kept run ming quite late in the corn. Whenever the ground crusts, it should be stirred on the surface. Unless the soil is ex- tremely well fertilized. arrange the truck for shallow culture, instead of root pruning. Reproductive stalks may be cut out for the COWS if one can get time.
 Don't relax any efforts in manure making at any season of the year. If the cows are kept stabled at night, dry earth or sandy loam may be used for bedding to absorb the abundant liquid droppings made when at grass. Such manure should be abundantly supplied with absorbents, or the hogs will not work it from the heap. They may be encouraged somewhat by punching holes deep into the piles, and putting some shelled corn into the holes.
 Feeding young pigs is most profitable. A bushel of corn will produce more pounds of increase in weight when fed to a pig three months old. The cost of producing given weight of pork in- creases with the age of the swine. If if is desired to produce an increase of one ton of pork by feeding 100 swine, that increase will be more cheaply obtained by feeding pigs under six months oi age than by feeding those which are 8 year old and older ones. The man who allows his young pigs to have a scanty allowance of food permits the oppor tunity for most profitable feeding tC slip by and is obliged to produce hi. pork at au increased cost by feeding when his swine are older.
 Men differ greatly in the amount O work they can. get out of team O horses, and the animals kuow this & well as the drivers. Some will fret an' sweat team when only drawing al empty wagon, while others will driv, the same horses before large load anC not wet hair. This difference is nor easily seen than described. Kindnes in manner and tone of voice go grea way towards making the load drav easily, the owners handling of the rein is frequently far different than that O the hired man. We have seen team kept poor in flesh by an almost inces sant worry from an ill-fitting harness an inhuman jerking upon the bits, or frequent and injudicious use of tn whip. Boys are not exempt from thes strictures. Many teams have had thei usefulness impaired by disregard C the feeling of the horses. It is not tn well-fed horse only that does the mos work, and keeps in the best condition he must also have kind master, an
