Longs Mill.

The heavy rain which fell last
week did much damage to small grain
and hay. The corn was blown down
some, but seems to be Strengthening
up again. Northeast Of this they
had some hail, which thrashed the
oats and corn considerably. John
Walder had forty acres of oats blown
down. so that he will not save more
than one-third of them. Squire
Redding lost twenty acres of grass
and clover. Billy Laird lost forty
acres. DIR. Knott and others lost
some. But taking it altogether, the
loss was less than the gain, as only a
few were losers, while many were
benefited by the rain.

ness. PEACE, BE STILL.

Trees on Farms.

Do not strip your farm of trees.
Especially in your pastures and by
running streams should your stock
find cool and pleasant resting places
in the shades of oaks, naples and
chestnuts. The influence of even a
small number of trees il wonderful.
On a recent hot day writer had oc-
casion to pass through a mountain
side pasture, and he sought the shade
of large pine tree that stood on a
knoll, distant from any other tree by
several hundred yards. The change
from the glare of the sun to the
shade of the tree was remarkable.
Out in the field the heat was ovea a
hundred degrees, the grass was
withered and brown, and only the
hardy weeds, the daisies and orange
lilies seemed able to endure the
scorchlng temperature. In the dense
shade Of the tree the grass was green
and luxuriant, the ground moist and
the temperature many degrees below
that of the exposed portions of the
field. All the ground shaded by the
tree was full of water, and a drove
of cattle let into the pasture at once
steered for the tree and huddled in
its cool shade.
A grove of such trees on every
farm, in every nntfilable gorge, on
every rocky, unploughable hill or
mountain, is what is needed to keep
the rainfall equable and reliable and
to prevent too sudden changes or
too tickle proportions between
drouth and deluge. They cool the
atmosphere in summer and warm it
in winter. They regulate the eyap-
.oration of water from the earth and
maintain spring and well veins
throughout the year, thus acting as
reservoirs. They percipitate show
ers. They prevent the too rapid
melting of the snow in spring. Their
very presence is beneficial in every
way' and every owner of land should
do something towards preserving
those now standing and of adding to
their number by judicious planting.

NUMBER %.
The Hay Crop.

The hay crop in the West is about
made, and it is a good one, too. The
great bulk of it has been saved and
put away in good condition, and ev-
cry pound of it will be wanted. Not
an animal of Importance bred on the
farm but will feed on it gratefully all
through the season when grass can
not be reached, and the West will be
called upon to supply hundreds of
thousands of tons carefully saved
and properly pressed to less FORUM
ate fellow-farmers a thousand miles
away.
But few realize the extent to which
''grass is king y taking the crown
both from the boasted cotton king of
the South and the corn king of the
North. The extent to which it is
made the life food of hundreds of
thousands of horses all over the
country, into mutton and wool from
fifty millions of sheep, into beef and
milk, butter and cheese on the
ranches, the breeding farms and the
dairies of the entire country, is SIM
ply marvellous to say nothing Of the
food supply in its green form to our
immense hog production.
The first point to be made is to
see that it is put away in good shape
and condition, and that as little as
possible is wasted by exposure or
otherwise. The next is to ascertain
how much of your crop is necessary
four your own stock this season and
half of next, and then to find the
best market for what we consider
our surplus. For this latterwe need
be in no hurry; hay will keep, and in
some parts of the country where
they have made partial failures will
be wanted presently at fair market
prices.
Then we need, and must have, q
proper baling press that shall put it
away, as that the most tons may be
got into car and travel long dis
tances at moderate rates. Hay, like
every article produced on the farm,
is cash article, and will always find
a ready Earket.-Exchange.

IT will be but little expense and
no trouble to give the stables a coat
of whitewash. Keep the walls clear
of cobwebs and the floors clesn.
Make the stable such place that
you can go into it with your best
clothes and not get them soiled. A
few pictures on the wall will add
greatly to the appearance, even If
they have to be tackled on without
frames. Make it the cosiest place
on the farm, except the house, and

hands will find more pleasure keep
ing it so than they will in trying to
shirk the work that is required to
keep it in only ordinary or half-kept

Dying Hogs.

A disease is prevailing in Fayette
County, Illinois, among the hogs,
and from 1,50O to 1000 have died
within the past three weeks. Some
pronounce it cholera, others say it IS
not. Remedies of various kinds
have been administered, but prove
of no avail. 1t is probably cholera
of new type, and germ disease.
j. II. Haddon, of Dakota, writes
to the Farming World, giving his
experience several years ago. as fol-
lows:
"When 1 lived in Illinois one of
my neighbors lost good many hogs
by cholera, and being scarce OF water
when ready to fatten his hogs, he
built a rail pen around an old well in
his field. After his hogs had been
in his new pen week or ten days
he noticed that the old clay or graiel
had been dug out of the well was
disappearing very fast. and he
watched his hogs when they were Ilot
eating corn, and saw they were busy
eating the clay and gravel. Before
the hogs were fat enough for market
they had cleaned up all the old clay
and all the ground. He never had
hogs do as we'll, and lost none that
fall. The next fall when he was
ready to fatten his hogs he dug
trenches two or three feet deep, by
thirty or forty feet long, and built
his pen around these bitches and fat
tened his hogs there. He had not
lost any more in fattening up to the
time I left the neighborhood."

The dairymen of the West must
learn this one single, simple lesson
at once, and that is, that nothing but
the best creamery butter will be able
to dislodge butterine, even were it
sold on its merits and under the
proper name by the retail grocers.
The day of successfully handling
and selling roll, jar and poorly made
country" butter is gone, so far as
the Eastern cities are concerned.
AS the Eastern cities of our own
country are the ultimate markets for
the bulk of our butter and cheese
whether for home or foreign con-
sumption-we must prepare our
selves to cater to the tastes and
wishes of our customers. No use in
dodging, evading or postponing this
issue. 1t must be met. The discus
sion of this may as well be begun
here and now as in any convention.
The associated dairy or creamy
system must be fostered, encouraged
and perpetuated. Further than this,
we must furnish this butter at q fair
low price-that IS, at about 20 or 20
cents in summer, and 20 to 80 cents
in winter, delivered. This price, on
the cream-gather plan of associated
dalrying in the Northwest, would
leave the price per gauge of cream
equal to one pound of butter-on the
farm, at about 10 to 15 cents in sum-
mer and 15 to 20 cents in winter.
The people must be taught what
good butter is, by having plenty of
it offered to them at fair price. In
addition to this, great public edu-
cation must be done through the
newspapers and journals of ouriand,
bearing upon this bread and butter
question. / believe in the power of
the press, and when once the but
terine business is thoroughly venti-
lated through the agency 1 have sug-
gested, it will then be an easy mat
ter to secure the needed legislation
for the protection of the rights of all
concerned.
An interested public will take up
the other side of the matter, and help
us all out just as soon as it Is well
known that that which purports to be
the cleanly product of the living cow
is composed of two-thirds of the fatty
matter of q dead hog.-Selected.

A KEG or bag of charcoal kept in
milk-rooms or cellars where there is

at all damp. The charcoal will abb
sorb both dampness and odors from

Fruit Prospects in missouri.

l.. A. Goodman, Secretary of the
Missouri State Horticulture, writes
as follows to the Rural World.
Apples are generally in good con-
dition, although in many places some
varieties are affected with the rust,
especially in the central and south
ern part of the State.
The peach crop is badly injured,
and showing the leaf roller at work,
and dying in some places.
The blackberry crop is generally
good, except IN the central part of
the State, where they were badly IN
jured.
WINTER INJURY.
Apples in many places, especially
on the rich prairies, were badly in
jured, and now show it by casting
their fruit. The tender varieties
show it more now than ever. The
losing of the fruit will be the saliva
tion of the trees, and they will be
ready for another year.
Peach trees were so badly injured
that 1t is question if any of the
older trees will ever give us good
crop, or ever be good trees again. /
think that we must look to our new
planting for our good peaches here
after. Those who did not cut back
their trees find them making poor
growth many have cut them to the
ground.
In the southern part of the State
the trees are in splendid condition,
and along the Arkansas line they
look well.-RuraI World.
