to Destroy Grab Grass-Roots ior
Fe ding-Roadside Trees.

Tile SOIL.
Every farm ought to have its expert
mental patch
A rod of barbed wire, in place OF box,
protects trees against horses and small
boys.
Thin out all surplus plants in the hot
beds if they are crowded, and those re-
manning will become more stocky: Inc
hotbed NAV be left open during the day
at this season.
The best food for making hens lay is
hound OF lean meat, chopped me, gwen
three times week to flock OF twenty
hens. But very little grain is required at
this season.
Corn Pudding; Two cups of canned
corn. one pint of milk, two eggs, salt 10
taste. Beat the eggs until very light;
add the other ingredients; put the mix
ture in lrttered pudding dish, and bake
about forty minutes.
The fail colt can be turned on the pas
ture. and will cost but little. A mess OF
oats at night, with hay, is all 1t requires;
Mares intended for spring work should
always foal in the fall in order that the
colt may be weaned in spring
Sorrel thrives at this season and crab
grass later on. Keep it down at all costs,
in order to lessen the number OF plants
next season. When crab grass appears 1t
is easily destroyed when young. Con-
slant cultivation is the only remedy Tor
both.
II YOU have any corn fodder the sheep
will pick it over and clean the stalks. IL
| the fodder is bright and clean all classes
of stock will relish it If the fodder is
run through the cutter and the stalks
crushed by the cutter there will be but
little waste.
The clover field is the place for the pigs
that have been weaned. They will need
very little other food. A mess o.
skinned milk, or buttermilk, with a
small quantity of ground oats at night.
will cause the pigs to grow rapidly ii they
have the run OF clover
The potato beetle will attack the egg
plant in preference to anything else, and
unless some plants are carefully watched
and the beetles picked off they will des-
troy the plants in less than day. To
save the plants they should be examined
two or three times a day.
When many want to sell is good time
to buv, and when many want to buy is
good time to sell for many sellers make
good prices, followed in due season by
/. small supply and good prices; and many
buyers make good prices, followed in due
season by large supply and low prices.
There is no color on the horse which

There is seldom any coat so silky or re-
spends so quickly as the sorrel. But
more important still, there is seldom any
horse with such sound feet and limbs, OF
possessing the endurance OF the sorrel.
| When cultivating the ground to destroy
, the grass only few inches deep vii
suffice. One inch OF soil, kept fine, on
the top, will serve as mulch, and in pull
verifying it the grass and weeds will be
i, killed Never let the ground become
: hard and crusty if there is probabilit.
OF a dry season.
Should cheese puff up during curing i
i shows that the gas is generating too fas

cheese thus pulled up should be removes

It should be pricked to allow the gas t.
n escape. A good cheese may be spoile'
by not receiving good attention Will
