then done in the windrow over night. No
salt should ever be used on clover hay,
especially when putting away in the
NOV. Salt draws moisture from the at
mosphere, and as consequence will
cause the hay the more readily to heat
and become musty.
1t is always best, however, to have
waterproof caps on hand in case you
should and necessity for using them, in
which case good bright clover hay can
be made in almost any kind of weather.
To make them, waterproof material is of
course the best, but unbleached coarse
cotton will answer the purpose almost
equally as well. If made of the latter,
procure it five feet wide, i. e., sheeting
cotton, tear it into five feet lengths, and,
with sewing machine, hem in a good
stout cord along each edge, leaving Il
small loop at each corner, Then make
four pins some eighteen inches in length,
of any kind of hard wood, for each cap,
and after adjusting these covers to place,
pin down each corner securely to the
ground to remain so until all danger of
rain is over.-Bdltim0r Sun.

THINNING FRUIT.

When planted in rich soil good thrifty
fruits will nearly always overload them
selves, and in order to secure the best,
smoothest and largest fruit considerable
thinning must be done. This is especial
ly the case with grapes and tree fruits.
Choice apples, peaches, pears, quinces-
in fact the best of all kinds of fruits com
mand the best prices and always sell.
Outlines the market becomes glutted
with poor fruits, and the prices realized
are really below what it cost to produce
them, and sometimes they cannot be sold
at any price, while at the same time the
choicest and best are selling at profit
able price. Too many fall into the error
of thinking that by thinning they lessen
the quantity so much that they prefer to
let the fruit remain. This is mistake
aS well rs to think that by thinning they
lessen the profit on the fruit. When IA
tree is heavily loaded the fruit must
necessarily be small, and this will lessen
the quantity; then the fruit being small

allowed to overload and mature, the fruit

so much so that rest must be had. and
the next year the tree will fail to bear.
Whenever tried judiciously thinning fruit
always pays, but it requires considerable
courage when the trees are laden with
young fruit to go over and pull off and
throw away a considerable portion of the
fruit. TO one who has never tried it at
first it would seem like waste. vet it
has been tested sufficiently to prove its
value. The work. of course, should be
done early, as soon after the fruit has set
as possible. The longer the fruit grows
after setting, the more waste of vitality
of the tree that should go to the other
fruit that is left upon the tree to mature.
Close crowding is often what makes i'll
shaped fruit. If you have never been in
the habit of thinning. try few trees first
to see the effect, and in majority of
cases you will conclude that it is ben
eticial. .Mchi1dn Agriculturist.

TOO MUCH LABOR.

Without doubt, most farmers devote too
many hours to labor. 1t is not an UNI
usual thing to begin his work at 1 o'clock
in the morning in the long days of sum-
mer and continue as long as daylight
lasts, with barely an hour spent for
incoming" This gives fully 10 hours
too much for any man, no matter how
great his endurance. Is it necessary that
any farmer should devote so many hours
to labor? OF course, there are occasions
when demand impels performance to the
last degree of strength; but if this con-
tinues there is no reward great enough
to compensate the loss of health. the
physical break that must come under
strain too great when continued beyond
the limit of endurance. The question
recurs Is there gain in excessive applica-
ton to labor? The reasonable answer
must be, there is not.
Any farmer may simplify his work by
intelligent planning, and thereby effect
material saving of strength The time
has gone by when mere muscular force
would count as the prime factor in useful
farming, Now it is "A question of sur
vival of the tittest," and this means the
wisest. The man who thinks most clear
ly, who plans most wisely. who econo-
mics most iudicously is the one who
will gather the profits of farming. if, i'll
deed, profits are to be found. One of the
most hurtful effects of excessive applica-
ton to the manual labor of farming is
that dizziness which must ensue when
physical powers are overtaXed-dullness
of thought and of perception. The man
who works every moment of time while
he has strength to perform, eXcites fric-
ton that wears the same as in mechani-
cal devices. In the latter, fabrication
serves to facilitate operation, but this the
farmer does not allow himself, or its
counterpart, in recreation of any kind, so
long as the tasks of his field press for
performance.
One of the great troubles with farm
labor is that it exacts too much, and it
wears out the man who works simply
because he works too much. If he could
so plan his varied tasks as to lessen de-
mand upon strength and upon time, the
chances are that he would be more sue
cessful, because there would be less
waste of energies, or rather loss of ener-
gies. The requirement is plain. win ii
be needed? The farmer who has gone
along years dependent on muscular force
for profits is not likely to change, until
in the course of nature he incurs disabili.

GLOVER HAY.

Glover hay when properly cured and
taken care of, is one of the finest articles
that can be grown, but when poorly
made and musty, it is not fit for horse
to eat. Now. while it is true that very
much depends on the weather, yet it is
equally true that good clover hay may
be made almost any year. 1t is impossi-
Bile, however, to make good clover hay
without having two clear days in success
sion, unless you provide yourself with
waterproof caps. But say you have two
fair days in succession, from the time
you commence cutting--and which should
be when about one-half of the heads are
turning brown-the mower should be
started aS soon in the morning as the
dew is off and kept running until you
have barely time to put it all in wind
rows before night, the larger the wind
rows the better, as they hold more heat,
and it is the heat that does the curing
while in windows.
When the crop has been cut with the
hot sun shining thereupon for few
hours, it will have absorbed heat enough
to almost cook it during the night.
Then in the morning as soon after break
fast as possible the windows should be
gently loosened up with forks to allow
the air free access through them until
noon, by which time the hay will be
ready to put in the NOW. 1t is better
unless rain is very imminent, never tc
put clover hay into cock but haul it in
direct from the windrow. The curing i.

NOT so BAD FOR THE FARMER,

Grain growers and other tllers of the
soil, who feel like complaining at the
low prices of farm produce now prevail
ing. should remember that agricultural
interests are not alone in the matter of
of prices. The fact is that
during the past 10 years farm products
have increased largely in price, while
articles have decreased.
An interesting comparison of prices for
farm produce is shown in the following
table compiled for the MHinq U'OHd.

Certainly in "the good old times so

were not overpaid, and these figures
show that farm labor has during seven

the selling prices of farm produce have

the other hand the comparison of manu-
featured articles shows large decreases,
