The coffee tree is an evergreen, and

1t is easy to prescribe methods for
the cradications of weeds, but they
couut for naught until practice gives
them effect, and there are too many
farmers who let them grow and thrive

dreaded of any of the diseases to which

-"As happy as pig in clover" has
passed into a proverb for abundance of
the best feed. In fact, however, though
clover is good for pigs. it is poor de-
pcndencc for main feed. The pigs
stomach is not capacious, and to do its
best it needs more concentrated food
than most other stock. In the pen,
however, the pigs feed is apt to be too
concentrated and too heating. With u
run at clover, enough will be eaten to
properly stend the stomach and ena-
bic the animal to better digest grain
than it could if fed nothing else.-M. Y.

Rats and mice are very destructive
in corn cribs. They may be kept out
forever by elevating the crib on posts
thirty-siX inches from the ground and
capped with tin pan. When the mice
try to run up the post they meet the
projecting tin and can go no farther.
If care is taken never to bring any mice
in wagons with the corn, the crib may
be kept clear of vermin indefinitely. OF
course the crib should be ut sufficient
distance from other buildings, trees or
fences on which mice might climb and
then jump on the side of the CRIB
