Notes.

Protect the cucumbers and tomatoes on
cool nights.
Plan to have fruit on the table all the
year round.
To keep up a succession make a planting
of sweet corn every three weeks.
Thin out the apples, pears and peaches.
Give them plenty of room to grow.
By applying powdered hellebore to the
currant bushes at this time the worms can
be kept away.
Soil which is properly drained, and
which is good for corn, will generally be
found good for peaches, plums and grapes
The same soil should be richer for apples,
ounces and pears than for stone fruits.
Denmark expends $50, 900 yearly for the
maintenance of dairy schools. The result
is an immense Improvement in the quality
of the dairy product and an increase
within twenty years in Denmark's butter
export from 8, 100, 900 to SO, 000, 600 an
nually.
Milk may be canned just as you would
can fruit. Bring the milk to the boiling
point and fill your jars to the brim with it,
then shut air-tight- This will keep any
length of time, and be just as good when
opened as when it was put up.

Many farmers make a mistake in mixing

ing farmer. A. H. Hayden, living six
miles northwest of Valley Center, this
county. became sick with symptoms of
poisoning and during the night his two
COWS died. Monday morning the hired
man complained of being i'll, but after
ejecting the poison he became we'll. Soon
afterward the daughter, a girl about
fifteen years of age. was seized with con-
vulsions and had no sooner been placed
in her bed than her mother was at
tackled with the same pains. The
hired girl followed in q few minutes. The
hired man attended the sick family for a
few hours, when he called the neighbors
and medical assistance was summoned.
Whether the Inflated people will live is
yet an open question. The probabilities
are. however, that the girl will not, but
the cases of the others look better. Two
steers and two horses have also died of
the poison. That the we'll is poisoned no
one doubts, but how it was done or who
did it is not known. but a thorough inves'
tigatiOn will be made.
