Let me appeal to the common sense Of

Potato Grow.rS' Precautiou..

Many successful potato growers rarely
use poison for potato bugs. They begin
when the first bug m axes its appearance,
keep up handpicking a week or two, and
then rely on cultivation and insect enc
mics to do the rest. If a vigorous
growth of vine is maintained, the dew
deposited on these at night chills and
destroys the potato bugs eggs. 1t is
always on the poorest hills that this
enemy is most abundant. The beetle
lays her eggs on the large vines, but very
few of them hatch. Those who have
tried it say that frequent applications Of
land plaster without poison will cause
90 much dew to fall on the vines as to
destroy the potato beetles eggs. But
with plaster is one Of the best means of
applying Paris green, first mixing it
thoroughly at the rate of two table
spoonfus of poison to one bushel of the
plaster. If the mixing has been thorough
no trace of the poison will be seen, but
it will do tho work on tho bugs. -

their constantly increasing sale, is incontro-

Farm and Garde n Notes.

The crops best stimulant is fertile
soil.
After setting, 90 over with a light
roller.
Nasturtiu ns furnish luxuriant show
of color and their seeds are valuable in
picking.
You can't bxy paying dairy herd.
Tnen farmer raises good COW he
most generally keeps her.
Touag plants grown from healthy
cuttings often give better satisfaction
than the older overgrown stock.
If you have good, strong, thrifty
two-year- old FLY, large in size, she will
make better brood mare by breeding
her at that age than to wait until she is
three or four years old.
Keep the calves growing Justify.
Teach them to eat oats at an carly age.
A calf will never get fully over the bad
effects of having been stunted and
starved through even a comparatively
short period of its life.
An all-purpose sheep is about as bad
to get as general purpose COW. You
can no more expect sheep to be equal
in mutton and wool producing than q
COW to give great quantities of milk,
rich in cream and 10y on fat at the same
time

The Country Gentleman tells CORE
spondent how to destroy mustard and
liveforever, those pests of the thrifty
and industrious farmer: "Neither of
these weeds is easily eradicated. Mus
tard is an annual, and the attempts at
eradication are, therefore, to be di-
rected to get the seeds out of the soil
and to prevent any addition. If the
seeds are buried deep in the soil they
may lie dormant for many years, but
when the plough brings them near the
surface they terminate and grow. Re-
peat:d ploughing and narrowing are,
therefore, useful in cleansing the soil,
and the farmer may select such crops as
will eventually produce this result At
the same time the seed must be pre-
vented from ripening. which may be
aided by frequently moving short
or cultivating. This cannot be
done with spring sowed grain, unless
the weeds are few SO that they may be
pulled out ky hand. Germ, potatoes.
beans and root crops generally will aid
in their eradication. if thoroughly cui-
tivated. Seeding to grass may be use
iu. by admitting close cutting. but not
for cleansing the soil. Liveforever,
although Increasing slowly, is hard to
destroy. II buried wei! beyond the
reach OF aie for several months or 9
year it will rot and die. Turning IN
der, therefore. by thorough trench
ploughing may answer the purpose. or
small patches may be killed by hand
trerching. But if some plants are a.
lowed to reach the surface it will fail
Wien the ground is smooth enough
cutting it as short as possible with q
lava mower every sge days the
season through will greatly check the
growth and destroy it in few years.

The Value Of Re d Clover.

The importance Of clover outside its
value in the rotation is too generally
underestimate. In fact its fertilizing
quality in renewing the heart of the
land is not given its full place in the
relation Of the soil. Where the crop is
natural to the soil, and it is generally
so on all arabic, we'll drained land,
clover is one OF the most important in
agriculture. 1t is no less valuable as q
forage crop. In fact it is the most val
liable of any single plant with which
the farmer has to deal.
For young and growing hogs it may
be called indispensable for pasture, and
when so used should be sown pretty
thick with no other grass. 1t supplies
every constituent of growth fairly WELL
though we do not advise its use as an
exclusive summer diet. In the west
especially, reasonable amount of
soaked Indian corn should be allowed
with the clover lilly to get the best re-
suits.
As winter daily food, if properly
cured, and it pays to cure it in the
best possible manner, the hay is
greedily eaten by the swine. In this
case it used to be our practice to cut
it up and mix with the daily mush Of
the hogs. In this way the full nu-
triment is conserved, and it also assists
in properly distendiag the stomach.
When clear clover is used as pasture
for cattle, or even where clover con-
stitutes q considerable share Of the
meadow, stock should not be turned
into field hungry, wh,n the grass is
fresh. They should stay only long
enough to fairly fill their stomachs,
never to gorge themselves as they are
pretty apt to do; fifteen to twenty min
utcs should suffice. Then turn
them out upon very short pas
tuve, and pct them back il
the afternoon. This will save overeat.
irs and consequent bloat often result
! ing in death. In few Gays they will
not overeat themselves If bloat occurs
place a gag between the teeth, larg,
