HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Wick says spot for pansies
should be selected where it is a little
shady. at least in the middle Of the
day. A place entirely shady is not de-
sirable. A light soil. made rich with
well-rotted stable manure, is the place
for them.-Gardner's Monthly.
Poultry farming doesn't take =
great deal of land, but with good
management the harvest comes every
day, and, though it is small, its null
DUPLICATION by all the days of the year
makes sum that compares favorably
with more pretentious ventures.-N
Y. Telegram
Keep dairy salt and all other that
is to be used for human food in clean
packages and away from all foul odors.
for salt will absorb Impurities from
bad air, and afterward impart in to
food with which it comes in contact.
Serious losses have occurred from ignOr-
ance of this fact. N Y. Examiner.
Gather up all the machinery on the
farm and see that it is cleaned. the
iron parts oiled and the wood work
well painted Much of the machinery,
like cultivators. corn plows. reapers
and mowers will not be needed until
next spring. The sooner they are
under proper shelter the better. There
is always more or less cleaning up on
every farm that can be profitably done.
and that will add very materially tc
the appearance as we'll as the value of
the place. -Montreal Witness.
If farmers will grow field of fod-
der corn, they will find that it requires
less laborin proportion to yield OF prod

Just when in the milky state, SO as tc
arrest the nutritive matter in the stalk
as it passes on its way to the ears.
Such a crop is quickly grown. needs no
hoeing, can be cultivated one way and
can be carried as soon as cut directly to
the barn for storage. -Troy Times.
"A writer in the Garden says one
good use of stones in the garden is in
layering, for we find that shoots and
branches of all shrubs and trees root
much more quickly if placed in the soil
and covered with large stone than if
pegged down in the usual way. Even
for many hardy plants we find this
plan of stone layering very successful.
A few good powders, half sunk in the
turf, make a fine position for clumps
of yucca faccide, or of acanthus If
carefully grouped and fringed with
any small-leaved, creeping forms of
Wy, stones make very beautiful groups
and add variety to flat surfaces.
