''do up" her husbands shirts, SO that
the Chinese washerman would groan

She must always have the masculine
buttons of the family sewed on SO they

Association, in which the writer sums up
the advantages of the soiling system in a
condensed form as follows:
l, Increased production of milk.

7. Increase in the quantity and i'm

s. Value OF land produce increased.
8. Protection afforded stock against va
rious forms of disease, infectious and
non-infectlous, and parasitic invasion.
Selling dairy stock is becoming more
common among American dairymen, and
will be more favored in future. The ad-
vantages Of sOiling mich COWS, as stated
above, are very important. 1t is prOba-
bly, true that the solid and liquid manure
wasted by a COW in grazing one season, if
all saved, and cOmpOsted with forest
leaves and other fertilizers, including
chicken manure and night soil, and SUI
perhosphate or bone meal in moderate
quantities, might be so applied to land
planted in corn and pease as to furnish
plenty of food for the cow for twelve
months. If the COW were fed on corn
meal, cotton seed meal, shucks, pea
vines, etc., the manure, would be extreme
ly ricn, and her years yield OF manure
composted applied to an acre of land,
would doubtless produce 30 to 70 bushels
of corn, and two tons of pea vine hay, and
more or less pease.

poses, and an acre in corn and pease will

Prof. Verrill saw large cluster of oys-
tiers attached TO an old boot which hung in
New Haven tishmongers window from
about December 10 to February %, and
found at the end Of that time that several
OF the larger oysters were still alive.
Most of the smaller and many of the
larger ones were dead and dried up; in
the of the latter the edges oil the shell
had been broken or Clipped. Those that
were alive had all been hung up with the
front edge OF the shell downward and the
hinge upward.
The direct influence of tillage upon
soil, says Arpad Hensch, is merely me-
chanical, separating the PARTICLES OF the
SOIL, and thus efecung on the one hand a
more even distribution OF the plant food
and on the other the removal of many
hlndranees TO the development OF the
plants. Its Indirect action affects the
physical and chemical condition OF the
soil, modifying its temperature and VEN
tilatiOn, and converting the plant-food eX-
listing in the soil more rapidly into an as
similable condition.

n. or a clay hill will do, steep, or gently
sloping, but see that it has a good six
inch surface soil on the clay, which you
must manage to keep there. This can be
done by embedding logs horizontally on
the steep places, or leaving unbroken mar

twelve feet rows. II the location is level

will not pay in low wet soil. You find all

Those old fence corners also show you
how they should be fertilized. A rich

shaded in summer from the sun by a
mulch of the same material.
Prepare the soil by thoroughly breaking
as deep as possible, although grape roots
do not penetrate deep into the soil, but
deep breaking retains better the mois-
ture that will be needed. and aids in pre-
serving fertility. Lay off the rows ten or
twelve feet apart II you have chosen a
steep hillside and intend to save the soil
by leaving unbrOken ridges; otherwise
eight feet apart will do, especially on
level ground. Open the burrows to re-
csive the we'll rooted plants and mark
by setting up stakes, the hill or place
where each vine is to stand. At these
points, if the burrows are not opened at
least six inches deep, dig down and open
well holes suited to the length and
spread OF the grape roots, which should
not be doubled up and crowded into
small holes.
In January or February here in the
South, set in the plants when the soil is
moist, fill up with the richest top or vege-
table soil you can get, press it fine and
close around the roots and let the upper
end OF the plant with one or two buds be
near the stake to which it must be
trained as it grows. A sensible writer
saws: The vine should be cut back to
three buds, and if all of them start cut
back to one. By giving this one shoot all
ho growth of the vine, a fine cane will
result for the fell; cut it back to about
two and one-half feet. In the spring rub
of all but the two upper shoots, and tie
these to a stake, and In the fall cut these
both back to within two feet of the main
stock. The next spring put up trellis of
wire; with the lower wire about two and
half or three feet from the ground, and
lay each of the two canes on to this wire
and tie them. When the shoots start rub

CARING for the Horses.

Many good farmers keep horses in sta
oles during the entire year, except when
out at work. Those who do not should at
least get the horses under shelter at
night and during stormy days. A sick
horse is as unfit to work as a sick
man, and animals that are kept housed
most Of the time are easily injured by ex-
posure to storms. 1t Is not advisable to
blanket horses in stables except for a lit
tie while when brought in after working
and when wet either from sweat or rains.
The change to horse blanketed in the
stable when taken out in cold or stormy
weather makes the animal especially liza
bic to take cold. In barn the natur al
covering Of hair over horse is sufficient.
Animals exposed to the storms and
changes Of weather incident to farm work
should not be clipped.
