Cut out any items that will be of use
to you, and paste them in a scrap book.
Have them arranged alphabetically by
subjects, so that you can turn to them
at any time. Your wife, daughter,
mother or sister will do the FASTING for
you. Many time you will read notes
and matters that you wish to keep. 1t
is bulky to preserve whole newspapers.
Besides that, in a whole pile of papers
YOU will never be able to find what you
want in hurry. So keep scrap book.
Such set of volumes, kept year by
year, will in time make valuable farm
library.
An Illinois fruit-grower says:
mulch my apple trees good every win
ter at no particular time, but before it
begins to be warm days towards spring, |
with a liberal supply of stable manure,
taken from the Stable to the orchard |
when l clean out my stables, for which |
purpose 1 use a small sled such as can |
be drawn by one horse and driven into |
the stable. The mulching keeps the |
frost in the ground, and the sap from !
starting.so that the tree will not be |
killed by the thawing and freezing in |
the spring. 1 had last season from the
trees I planted in 1878, a fine lot of
apples that are of excellent quality and !
flavor, in fact, they are as good as any |
that | ever saw.
More grass means more live stock on |
the farm, which is in every way a |
preferable business. 1t is in proper
lion to its value produced at less cost, |
and therefore is affected to less de- |
gree by low prices, and so far as cattle |
are concerned the country is practically |
able to consume the whole product, and |
the small portion sent abroad does not |
have its value determined through a |
with the products of semi
barbarous lands. And if the prices at |
any period should be too low to afford |
a profit, the farmer knows he sustains |
no loss, which is more than the grain |
farmer can claim when he sends away |
the fertile elements of bis soil and |
secures no adequate return. 1t comes
nearer standing on its own bottom
than any other branch of agriculture.
Indeed, without it farming would have
no permanent bottom on which it could |
stand at all.-Er.
Robert Douglas, the best authority on
the subject, claims that our native
White Spruceis superior to the Norway
Spruce in vitality. After the Norway
Spruce has reached the age of thirty
years assumed grand size it begins TO
decay, first, by loss of its foliage near
the trunk, and which gradually extends
toward the e1tremities of the branches,
and then its leader dies, and the annual
lateral growth is very small, and the
whole tree takes on q rusty, unhealthy
appearance, its Disagreement increasing
until death ensues.
The White Spruce, Abies alba, is
much longer lived tree; it IS a slower
grower than the Norway Spruce, but
continues in vigor long years after the
after has lost all claims TO beauty. In
it is best to group these two
frees together in such q manner that
good effect will be retained when. on
