Farm Notes,

Rub off the sprouts from the fruit
trees before they get tough.
Late cultivation in the orchard should
be avoided as time must be given for
he trees to mature their wool.
Poultry manure is one of the best
materials that can be used to enrich
the strawberry bed. Scatter evenly
and work well into the surface.
Cut straw, fodder or bagasse make a
good mulch for plants of all kinds.
They need not to be cut shorter than
two inches when used for this purpose.
One of the most difficult weeds in
the garden to eradicate is pussaline.
After good shower it can be pulled up
readily, and this is good way of
killing it out.
Often when the fall apples cannot be
marketed to good advantage they can
be worked up into cider vinegar with
profit. But sound fruit should be
used. Feed the refuse to stock.
Flowers, shrubs, evergreens and
ornamental trees are necessary to make
a Incorporating yard, as well as a
good stand of grass. The best effect
is produced by combination of these
Many make a mistake in selecting
trees and get them too large. A small
tree with plenty of roots will invaria-
DIV make good tree quicker than
larger one with mutilated roots, while
the cost will be less in every way.
All things considered, the growing
IF strawberries in matted rows for
ield cultivation is t. hcst; in the gar
len when only s.nall number of
plants are grown drill culture NAV be
followed. The advantage In matted
rows is that the cultivation can be
given with the cultivator.
Black and raspberries, currants and
gooseberries, should be grown in row.
80 that the cultivation can be princi
pally done with the cultivator, and the
plants of the first two varieties be
allowed to grow between the first row
out so as to form hedge.
The cherry, apricot, peach and nee
tarine requires light, dry soil. The
plum does the best on rotten, stiff clay
loan. And the apple, pear and peach
thrive best on what may be termed a
sandy loan. With all fruits a supply
of potash in an available form is neces-
sary.
Before investigating too largely in
the growing of fruit for market see
that a reasonably good market can be
secured conveniently. The cost of
considerable distance to mar
ket looses the profit that otherwise
might be possible.

Moss litter and sawdust are becom-
ing so generally used for stabling in
England that many of the Lancashire
and Chester farmers are unable to sell
their straw. They recently held 8
meeting to consider this subject, at
which it was admitted that is the pres
ent state of affairs continue, straw will
be selling at five dollars ton before
the end of next year. Certain land
lords and corporations have found it
profitable TO buy the moss litter and
sell their straw, which still further
adds to the glut. The farmers have
agreed not to buy any manures except
where straw was used for bedding.

A big Mistake.

The moulting process is one that debili-
tates and prevents hens from laying. Many
farmers and poultry raisers at this season
Kill Oft their old hens, because they think
they have stopped laying and are fat. This
is a great mistake; the proper material
should be furnished them with their food to
supply the increased demand for nitrogen
and phosphates. Mr.. John r. Jones, of Suf-
field, Conn, says: "l am breeder of Mot
tied Javas have been using Sheridan's
Condition Powder for years. l find it very
valuable for poultry in the moulting season;
it helps tie growth of feathers. 1 use it also
for show birds" I. 5. johnson & Co, Bos-
ton, Mass, will send further particulars to
any one free.

mills get all the lint and all the hulls
but are able to get only 800 pounds of
oil, worth Sl4, and 800 pounds of cake
or meal, worth 1920, giving a yield
to the mill of S23OS. The seed costs
$40 ton, leaving profit to the mill,
less expenses, of Sl3.OS.

Green pickles will keep perfectly in
strong brine. No water is needed
merely place layer of cucumbers OF
other vegetables in the bottom of cask
or jar, and cover them with salt. Sue
cessive layers of the vegetables and
salt are added from time to time until
the vessel is filled. The juice of the
vegetable will draw out and with the
dissolving salt will form brine. A
board with a few holes bored in it,
and loaded with heavy stone, must
be kept on top of the pickles to hold
them down. If they float and come
in contact with the air, speedy decay
follows.

Many farmers think that August
and September are the proper months
TO SOW rye. Sown at these times it
gives cuttings for soiling in the fall.
If sowing has been neglected, it is re-
garded by some good farmers as an
advantage to SOW rye in the fall, even
as late as November, or as long as the
ground can be worked. The grain
sown thus late does not sprout in the
fall, but starts very early in spring,
and the crop is much earlier than from
any spring sown seed.

ABOUT THE FARM.

In our experience the late crop of
white turnips generally does better
among potatoes than among corn. So
soon as potato tops die the turnips
have all the soil from which to draw,
and they are rather benefited by the
stirring of the soil required in digging
potatoes by hand. If horse potato
digger is used, no turnips can be
grown, as the digger necessarily up
turns the entire soil, including turnips
or whatever else may be growing Cd

'Will potatoes and such vegetables
miX5" Well, this depends. They do
mix very frequently in the baskets
while different varieties are being dug,
and oftener still in tire cellars, when
those from one bin get into the ad-
joining one; but in the field, where
different varieties are growing along
side of each other, it is simply i'm
possible for them to get mixed. The
only way in which different varieties
can become "mixed" (crossed) is by
fertilizing variety with the pollen
Of another, and from the seed thus
produced new varieties are frequently
raised, with possibly some of the
characteristics of both parents.

growth, the best time is late in win
