COLUMN
Brief Timely Hints.

The outlets TO drains Of all kinds
should be seen to. This is a rather wet
spring, and it drains are to pay for the ex
pense Of making them, they must be kept
at work. a coarse wire cloth will keep out
the rabbits and water animals, or, better
still, some Of tue new devices Tor the pur-
pose may be purchased for tri1e-25 or 80
cents each, and they will last several years.
1t is vet in time to prune orchards Cut
out the dead branches and the sprouts that
are crowding each other, keeping out the
sunlight and taking the food needed to pro.
duce fruit. But in dong this needed work
be sure to clean up the brush The largest
branches will furnish excellent wood when
dry. The small brush is best burned in a
single heap, so the ashes may be collected
fo- garden uses.
Field beans and peas may be put in
any time now. Many prefer drilling in
rows 30 ana 40 inches apart. If in hills
the practice is generally to haye them far
enough apart to admit running the horse
cultiyator at least one way; better perhaps
