HERE AND THERE.

The orchard or garden that is we'll
cared for will not prove failure.
1t is very important in giving an
application 10 destroy pests to repeat
sufficiently often to make sure of the
desired results.
Leave the tobacco pipe outside Of
the milk room. Better leave the man
who has been smoking it outside too.
His absence will not injure the flavor
of the butter a bit.
Because the grass can be procured
by the COWS now is no reason for
emitting any portion Of the food at the
barn. The COW is a producer, and tho
better she is fed the larger her yield oil
milk and butter.
Loss of rest at night is as trying
to animals as to humans, and especially
to horses that have worked during the
day. The windows should have mos.
quito-netting to protect against insects
in the stables.
Thinning with grapes can nearly
always be made beneficial, as it is not
a good plan to allow the vines to ma.
ture too large crop, while by thin
ming the quality may be gradually inn
proved.
In watering plants, many times ii
will increase the growth materially il
liquid manure is applied. One adj
vantage with manure in this condition
is that more or less of it is soluable.
If, in setting out the apple trees,
the mistake has been made of setting
the trees too thick, care should be
taken to thin out, as this is one variety
of fruit, at least, that will not bear
crowding.
Even in summer bedding should
be provided in the stalls for all classes
oil. stock that are confined at night, as
cleanliness is very important in the
summer season. The less manure in
the stall and stables the fewer flies and
insects.
Watch all young and tender plants
for cutworms and potato beetles. The
former works best on cool nights and
the latter during the day. The beetle
will eat young tomato and egg plants
and destroy them in short time.
Green ducks are now in demand,
and sell well. They should not weigh
over seven pounds per pair and should
not be over ten weeks old To bring
the best prices they should be made
very fat, and sold in the dressed condi-
ton.
because fruits get low is not a sure
indication that fruit is not profitable.
With proper care fruit can be grown
at comparatively a small expense; and
while it is an item to secure the best
prices, yet often fruit can be sold very
low and gives the grower fair profit.
BE on the lookout now for the
white caterpillars, as.they are the par
ents of the cabbage worm. Kill every
one of them, which is not difficult, as
but few appear at time. II all farm
ers in the neighborhood will unite to
do SO a few seasons will greatly reduce
them in number.
One years seeding requires seven
years wedding. This fact should GER
tainly be remembered now and both in
the garden and orchard care be taken
to allow no weeds to mature seeds. A
few late weeds left to mature seeds
will increase the work materially next
year.
Sweet potatoes will not thrive il
the season is very damp. as they de

be we'll worked until the plants cover
the hills. The cut-worm will do dam
age on cool nights. and an examina
ton of the patch should be made every
morning, as it may be necessary to re-
plant.
The work of properly harvesting
the fruit crop is an important one anC
must be looked after. Because ther,

reason for allowing any part to go &
waste. Better let the stock have par
