AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

at"f
Burn the unsound or infested Limbs
you cat from fruit trees.
As far as ready market can be found
for 1t pop corn is a paying crop.
Don't! Don't waste money buying
binder Irvine. 1t is money wasted.
DO not forget that guilty is a prime
essential in marketing at fair prices.
The farmer, OF all men, cannot afford
to stay in the deep ruts of prejudice.
The Kansas experiment station is in.
yestigating 10 kinds of strawberries.
Board OF trade operations are simple
gambling and should be prohibited by
law.
Try to raise as near everything that
Is consumed on the farm as it is posi-.
BILE TO do.
Soapsuds from tho wash tub males
the finest fertilizer for the vegetable or
flower garden.
Not 25 per cent of the stuff puA on
the market as maple sugar is the pro.
duct OF the maple tree.
Don't neglect the garden. 1t is the
most profitable portion of the farm if
it is properly cared for.
Nebraska is giving the sugar BEG a
good, practical trial this year, and we
predict success for it, too.
The best grain for all aeonnd fe sding
is oats. This fact is becoming mofe and
more apparent each year.
II a good growth of clover gan be
saved and plowed under the comiisg fall,
that field will be great for corn Aor pc.
tatoes next gear.
A little paris green will make an end
Of the potato bugs. Use 1t in water
and then 1t will hot blow about and do
damage elsewhere.
A iudicious mixture of pigs, cdrn and
clover will raise a mortgage quicker
than any other recipe that can b. given.
Try a course Of it.
In the states of Dakota is al annually
rotted enough fax fiber to bind the har-
vests Of America. Cart this DO changed
some way to save this waste?
II there are rough, poor spots on the
farm where it cannot well pay TO Guilt
vate crops try turning the " into groves
of oaFs, hickorys or othei' hard woods.
In building up a dairy herd, the one
vital point is to have q gold dairy sire.
An inferior male cannot by any possibil-
ity become the sire Of a good dairy
herd.
Salt is good for almost any soil sowed
broadcast. Some say it car be safely
used up to 1900 pounds per acre. II
ought to keep well with th;st amount
on it.
1t costs to carry any crop 10 market
and the farther 1t has to be clrried the
greater the cost. See if ybu cannot
raise some crop that may be consumed
in the home market.
The COW that consumes and assimi'
lates the largest amount of feed has al
advantage in the dairy. She is a better
machine than the one that works "
less raw material.
Don't fool away valuable time trying
to educate your market up to your
standard of quality, but just I'll then
up with what they want aud put theil
good money down in your jeans.
1t is claimed that cabbage or turnlps
may be fed milk COWS without taintIne
the milk, IL il is done soonl after they
are MIXED. The essential odorous
principle Of these vegetables seems tc
pass off quickly, but If they are fed be,
fore milking the milk will taste Of
them.
The day is not distant when the
United States will not only supply heI
own markets, but will 90 into the mar
kets OF the world with American bee
sugar. Nebraska is the pioneer in thii
direction, and will show the world wha'
we can do.

and the warmer the milk is when Sc
and the more quickly It is cooled afteI
being set, the more rapid and perfec'
will be the separation of the ream 1
possible set tho milk before it falls be,
low IS degrees.
Don't be content to keep a cow tina
does not pay a profit over her keep
This is only the commonest sort o.
every day, seven days in the week,
common ense, but 1t seems TO be the
hardest thing to impress on the mind
OF the average man hat has ever beer
undertaken.
How much,o your hard earned. money
are you going to fool away buying
binder Irvine this year. just stop and
ask yourself candidly what gain can
possibly come to you from using it. 1,
Is all loss, nothing but loss. If you have
money TO throw at birds or feed monop-
olists with, buy Irvine. IL you haven't,
don't.
