THE FARM.
Farm Notes,

THE peach and plum are nearlyenough
related to be budded or grated on each
other. The plum endures the cold bet
ter than the peach, and the latter fruit
grown on plum stocks can be much more
easily protected than when grown on it's
own.
WE find the following going the
rounds: Leaf mold, rotten COW manure
and good garden loan, to which small
quantity of sand has been added, the
leaf mold and manure to be we'll rotted,
these all mixed together thoroughly,
make good soil for plants.
GIVEN two cows of equal size, dairy
marking and condition. One makes a
dive for her grain and eats in bust
ness like way. The other eats and moves
slowly and lazily. Which would you
select for butter cow? We took the
nervous animal. We're we right.
SUNFLowER seeds are good for a
change in feeding chickens, particularly
in the winter season.. The oil is highly
stimulating and imparts brilliant gloss
to the plumape. But if fed too often,
without being ground, they sometimes
cause hardness of the crop.
The vigor and health of hog are to
some extent involved in the strength
and texture of his bones, influencing to
some extent his exercise. Corn meal
containing but one-tenth of the lime
that should be found in the growth of a
pig, it follows that where pigs have not
access to earth, water or other food con-
tanning lime, they suffer for ia fault
easily remedied by tho use of sifted
ashes or bone meal, say one or two
pounds to 100 pounds Of corn.
LET the farmers conduct their own
business of creamery management,
through a manager and salesman Sc
lected from among their own numbers.
Pay him reasonable compensation for
the time he devotes to the affairs Of the
creamery. Employ the best butter
maker to be had, even if you pay him
$75 month. Consign the butter each
week to reliable commission men and
stay with them and establish reputa-
ton; that's what sells butter.-EE.
FARMERS have much greater sphere of
influence on the flavor of milk produced
than they suppose, or are willing to ad-
NIT The reason Why a certain number
Of consumers in all large cities are will
ing to pay what, to farmer or an aver
age consumer, may seem extraordinary
prices is because they get butter of high

makers of these buffers nearly all use
clover, and meadow hay and corn meal,
in varying proportions with other coarse
fodder and meals.
The Russian method of stopping a
runaway horse is said to be very effec-
tive, and not particularly cruel. They
place a cord with running knot around
the horses neck near the neck strap.
TO this slip moose attach pair of
reins, which may be thrown over the
dash board ready to be seized at once.
When the horse starts take up the extra
reins and tighten the cord around the
horses throat. The most furious horse
thus choked stops instantly and will not
kick or fall. Times Democrat.
IT can be fairly and honestly said,
says the american StOcbmdn, that the
outlook for future success and security
in growing wool for the American mark
cts is substantially good. The trade has
been depressed so long by the many in
fuences with which our readers are SO
familiar, that it is hardly to be expected
that strong reaction will set in at once.
Prices have advanced some, probably as
much as they will this winter there is
more faith in wool, and buyers are be-
ginning to have more confidence.
