HERE AND THERE.

Never drive the COWS out OF walk.
1t is a disadvantage to have the
brood sows too fat during CESSATION.
After the harvesting and stacking
is finished is a good time to look up
understandings.
Coal ashes are one of the best mate
rails to use in loosening up stiff, clay
soil.
When wheat, oats or rye are stacked
near the house they should be covered
with hay or straw.
Rather than allow it to be wasted,
the soap suds on wash days should be
applied on the manure heap.
To realize the most profit it is very
necessary that young stock should be so
cared for as to make thrifty, vigorous
growth
One objection to piling manure up
and letting it rot. before hauling it out
is the danger of its fire fanging
1t is poor economy to purchase com
mercial fertilizers of any kind, and at
the same time allow manure to go to
waste.
In many cases commercial fertil-
izers can he used to good advantage
with wheat, scattering broadcast be-
fore or with the seeding.
In determining what crops should be
grown, the nearest market should be
closely observed and the prices for the
various products be noted.
Tho best prices and the largest
profit in raising ducks, is in selling
them when young, and it is often an
item to push them on this account.
In the growing of all crops and the
keeping of Stock it is always an item
to reduce the cost as much as possible,
and then to have such grade as to be
| allie to sell to the best advantage.
One of the best feeds for growing
colts is ground oats and bran, especially
when it is an item to secure a good de-
velopment of bone and muscle.
When the weather is hot care must
be taken not to overhead the teams.
Water regularly and keep as comfort
able as possible; protect with fly nets
when at work.
1t is not good plan to allow the
hogs to root up the orchard, and if they
make a start in this direction the sooner
they have rings put in their noses the
better.
1t is poor. economy to allow the
stock to run down because the feed in
the pastures gets low. Feed some soil
ing crops or bran and hay rather than
allow them to run down.
If the weather is dry and the pota-
toes are not so near the surface as to be
impaired by the sun, it will be best to
allow them to remain in the ground I'M
til later, unless they are needed.
After the crops are harvested and
stored away is a good time to take lay
off. If you can not make a visit to
friends at discance, put in little
time among your neighbors. 1t can be
made profitable in many ways.
"A cheap shed under which fodder
can be stored will be found a good in
vestment especially that supply that is
intended for feeding during the winter.
Fodder is seriously impaired by being
left out exposed to rain and snow.
Fall wheat will be benefited by an
application of manure scattered evenly
over the surface after blowing. The
work of preparing the seed bed will
work it well into the soil.
In blowing for wheat it will be
found quite an item to pillow reasonably
deep and thorough, turning under the
weeds, stubble and trash s completely
as possible.
The cheapest plan Of grinding and
cutting the feed is to do the work on
the farm, using horsepower and pre-
pairing a good supply at one time; thi;
will be cheaper than hauling the feed
; away and then bringing it back.
