Grow for home use what is liked at

If you havea good crop of weeds in

Farm work is hard work, but who can

Keep vigorous growth of vegetables

Happy is the one who possesses a

The potato bug, the cucurlio, the cut
worm, the borer and the apple moth are
the five greatest enemies of the farmer,
and he must keep them down or they

Beets are good crop to grow for
mich COWS. They are more nutritious
than turnips and do not impart the dis
agreeable flavor that is often noticed of
milk from cows fed on turnips.
Common sense urges farmers to give
themselves and the teams good long
rest after the midday meal. Rarely is
work SO pressing as to make the non-ob-
servance of this rule profitable.
Education does more for poor farm
than fertilizers. 1t grows better crops

poor farm, with its scrawny cattle and
foul acres, wants is heavy application

Look out for your hogs. When they
are full give them cool, comfortable
place to sleep. This will make them
grow and get fat rapidly, because they
are satisfied. The place must be dry.

FEEDING SWINE.

In order to obtain the best results all
around the pigs should be taught to cat
as early in life as possible. In some cases
this will be when they are about two
weeks old. The time of teaching them
will vary. The size of the litter in some
eases, and in others the amount of milk
given by the dam, will govern it. Teach
ing them to eat is best accomplished by
placing a small trough out of reach of
the dam and supplying it with warm,
sweet, SKINNED milk and soaked corn.
When the pigs get fairly to eating be
careful to increase the feed as gradually
as the pigs power of assimilation in
creases.
Right here care should be exercised in
feeding the dam. Avoid getting her
"off her feed" There is nothing so well
adapted TO make young pigs grow as
their dams milk. While feeding the
pigs literally the sow should be fed all
shewiil eat of the food best calculated to
make her give large quantities of milk.
Good shorts mixed with bran, OF the
shorts alone made into slop and soaked
between feeds, accompanied by few
ears of corn, make a good milk-giving
ration.

cuuRNrNa SWEET CREAM.

1t appears that experiments made both
at the New York and West Virginia agri-
cultural experiment stations have resulted
very favorably for sweet cream churning.
The cream should be churned at tenn
perature not above fifty degrees. The
result shows; 1. That sweet cream
should be churned at "a considerably lower
temperature than acid cream. 2. That
when the temperature is properly adjusted
the fat is more fully recovered in churn-
ing sweet cream than in churning sour
cream. 3. That butter is much easier
freed from milk and requires less work
ing. 4. That the flavor is genuine but
ter favor-dependent more upon food
and less upon uncomfortable changes in
acidifying the cream.-Neo York Wit

Distinguishing Vessels In Fogs.

An ingenious invention is described in
Engineering for distinguishing vessels in
fogs. 1t is based on the fact that when
fog hovers over water there is always
clear space of few feet between the
surfaced of the water and the bottom layer
of the fog. Each vessel is to be pro-
vided on one side of its bow, just above
its highest water line, with horizontal
row Of glazed portfolios, and on the oP-
posite side with vertical row of like
holes. Electric lights are arranged to
throw beams of light forward and later
ally through these portfolios, the differ
ent arrangement of which is to serve to
show the course of the vessel. Sighting
portfolios, carrying telescopes, are also to
be provided close to the former port
hole.

HORTICULTURAL MACHINERY MUST COME

HORTICULTURAL MACHINERY MUST COME.
The next advance in mechanical appli-

until few years ago, upon hand labor.
Agricultural implements for breaking up
the soil and pulverizing it are adopted,
with notifications, to use Of the orchard

to stir the soil even better than for field
crops, and to destroy weeds, and TO work
.'ose to trees and vines. For ordinary
pruning it is difficult to believe that any
thing better can be made than the saws

for invention in the field of gathering

operation of the entire season-the thin
ping out OF surplus fruit. American
fruit growers, gardeners and florists need
the utmost perfection Of mechanical con-

there is not likely to be any special adj
vance in that field. In California, for
instance, prunes arc now picked by ma
chinery; then sorted and prepared for
the drying trays. A machine now in
