III you want rhubarb pies early next
spring, work manure from the pig pen
into the soil about the plants this fall.
"A small farm may be made larger
without extending its area, by deepen.
ing and enriching the soil and more
thorough cultivation.
If there is surplus grain or hay 1t
may pay to buy very poor stock to fat
ten, but the stock on the farm should
never be allowed to fall off in condition.
AT this season the ewes should be
carefully attended to. They must be in
good condition for providing plenty Of
milk to the lambs that come in early
next season.
Fall pigs must be pushed rapidly, SO
as to have them well grown before cold
weather overtakes them. The very
young pig, If exposed to severe cold,
will soon become stunted and grow
slowly.
The best way to get rid of willows
or other trees liable to sprout from the
stump is to girdle them and let them
stand until they cease to produce leaves.
By this plan all trouble with sprouts
will be avoided.
Six thousand ducks are annually
marketed from the farm of prominent
yet transformations farmer in Massa-
chusetts, who comprehends the idea of
handling his stock in way to yield him
q return quick, with little expense for
their keeping.
--Gravelly soils, that would not other
wise be suitable for corn-crops, make
excellent locations for grapes, though
the grape will be better on deep, rich
soil. Old bones, leather refuse and lit
ter of all kinds may be buried around
the roots of the vines with advantage.
1T is curious fact, SO announced,
that If cider is scalded to 125 to 100 de-
gress, it will not make vinegar, as this
heat destroys the bacteria that form
vinegar. This same temperature de-
stroys the bacteria in the silo, and this
is perhaps the explanation why it re-
mains comparatively sweet.
-Well-cured hay is nearly as con-
centrated as grain in proportion to
weight. Corn contains about 10 per
cent of moisture and hay Is per cent,
but hay contains three times as much
matter as corn and more nitro
gen. Hay, however, contains ten times
as much crude fiber as corn and less fat.
The Farm Journal insists that
calves, colts and all young animals
should be treated SO that they will come |
to you as friend. II you feel ugly and !
must kick something, let it be . log or |
, stone wall, or something that will not |
suffer. A tow experiments in this line
may cure you of the habit of feeling
ugly.
-Hoard's Dairyman says that ton for !

oats, cut when the grain is |
In the rather soft dough state, and cut /

One Of the very pest places to keep

CoUsciL BLUFFS, Iowa, Angus! 20 =
At the third and last days session OF
the Farmers National Congress yester-
day, vote was taken to select the State
In which tho next meeting should be
held. OF all the States but three were
named. The result OF the vote was: Col
orado, IS; Illinois, "A; Missouri, 1873. 1t
was decided to allow the Missouri delf-
CATION to select their own city, the PROM
ise being made that it would not be St.
Louis or Kansas City. The date was
fixed as the second Tuesday after the
first Monday in November, 1891.
A great many resolutions were acted
upon, some OF them OF q very radical
character, among them being:
That we are in favor OF constitu-
tional amendment making United States
Senators elective by the people. Be-
licving that tho farmer is paying more
than his just proportion Of taxes, We
favor graduated income tax law to the
end that the incomes Of the wealthy
may bear their share OF government sup.
port. We demand the unlimited COIN
age OF silver, the abolition OF tho nation
al banking laws, and the refusal OF our
national government to extend the char.
ters OF national banks now in existence"
