SHORT PITHY PARAGRAPHS.

FRONT IL farming consists IN devotlng
most of your land to grass and stock !;
in making large quantities of manure,
and applying it to small portion of
cultivated land, giving high cultivation.
In this way more grain, roots, ETC., will
be raised one year with another than
can be raised on the whole farm by the
usual Swimming and half cultivating
process. Here is success in nutshell !;
your farm and pocket will grow fat no
mistake about it
Profit in stock-raising comes from CIV
ing the best care and shelter with full
feed from the beginning. In breeding
use only thoroughbred males half-breds
produce only mongrels and scrubs. One
pound of sulphur to 20 of salt will pre-
vent disease, and kept your animals
healthy. Always salt the hay in the
NOW. One is apt to neglect giving salt
in winter. Add sulphur, as it prevents
hay from molding and keeps it sweet.
Boiled linseed oil should be applied
0 all the wagons, carriages and farm
implements at least once Il year, espec-
tally to the wagon wheels then the tires
will not get loose and they will last five
times as long. If the pillow or cultivator
teeth get rusty, clog and will not scour,
apply nitric acid ; go right to work and
the rust will soon disappear. Boiled lin
seed oil is the best furniture polish in
existence. Try it, and see how new and
fresh everything will look.
To paint fences and out-buildings, use
water-lime and skim-milk; mix small
Iportion at a time apply with brush
add any color you wish-a very nice,
cheap and durable paint.
Cut-worm ravages in corn or tobacco
fields may be made good by getting a
| few hundred or thousand two-inch flower
lpots-price about four dollars per 1000
When you plant corn, plant at the same
time four kernels in each pot, and where
a hill is missing, lift hill out of one oil
the pots and replace it. TRANSPORTING
out of the pots does not check the
igrowth. The transplanted hills viii
come right ON with the rest. With to
bacco, transplant into pots at the time
you plant in the field then fill up from
the pots it is better to start all your to-
bacco and cabbage plants in pots they
can be transplanted any time with safety
without checking growth.
For cabbage worms use pyrethrum OF
| insect powder, or, what is better, place
dishes of sweetened water and vinegar
and catch the millers before the egg
are laid.
| To keep water cool and fresh wher
carried to the field, wrap up the jar in 6
wooden cloth. It will keep fresh anG
cool six hours. Keep the cloth wet.
/ To keep off squash bugs, place col
soaked in coal oil by the hill.
i To raise two crops on the same grounC
in one year without exhaustion, in every
third row of potatoes plant every fourth
hill to squashes or pumpkins the vine
will not bother till after the potatoe
have been cultivated j; put a shovelfu
of well rotted manure in the squash hills
To avoid sunstrokes get plenty o
sleep; sleep in the morning if possible
don't get out too early while the air j
filled with malarial poisons. Sunstroke
do not occur where nights are cool, an
people get plenty of sleep to keep u
? vital force. Be temperate, just ant
! honorable in all things. Haul your ms
nure directly from your horse stabl
lduring winter, and scatter it thiDly an
/ evenly over your wheat this will pre-
: vent winter-kning, and give the wheat
Igood send-of next spring.
