In Judging horse he should always
be made to stand still. Defects in the
limbs or feet that would be unnoticed
while in motion will be plainly seen
by his care to rest weak or diseased
muscles when standing. - Cincinnati

by planting the trees at an angle of

them down before snow falls in winter,

An indianapolis Qnd. fruit grower
says: Last year put twelve moles in
my strawberry patch of five acres to
catch the grubs, and they did the work.
/ never had a dozen plants injured dur
ing the summer, either by the grubs or
moles. I know some people do not
care for moles on their farms, but
want them in my strawberry patch.''

The. use of rye in the garden of an
Ohio truck grower is mentioned by the
Farmer of that State: THAT part of the
garden that can be cleaned off in time
is plowed and sowed with rye, and
whatever manure is ready is spread at
that time. The ryemakes quite growth
during the fall and winter, and when
turned under in spring counts some
thing as fertilizer, besides rendering
the soil very mellow. In the sweet corn
the rye is sown at the time the corn re-
ceives its last working
The gooseberry and currant do
well in partial shade. In fact, if you
would have the gooseberry in great per-
lection, get a lot of old brushwood and
cover the rows closely, so that the
plants will have to push through, and
you will be astonished at the growth
and healthfulness of the. bushes. The
decaying wood also furnishes an excel
lent manure for them. The finest cur
rants ever grown can be had by mulch
ing with old chestnut burrs, or even
sawdust. 1t has been noted that the
grapevine thrives amazingly when it
gets into an asparagus bed. These are
generally elevated, and are thus dry,
while the rich soil necessary for aspar-
agus is also good for grapes.-4neat-
