A UNDUE HOT RED

The following suggestion we find in
american Garden:
Take hogshead and bore two or three
holes IN the bottom. Set it down its full
depth in the ground, on slant, so that
the southern side is six inches lower thar
the northern. Take some good fresh
stable mature and thoroughly mix with it
an equal quantity of leaf mold or good
rich soil. Let this lie in heap until fer
mentation has taken place, which win he
IN two or three days, when it should he
turned and allowed to heat and fer
ment two or three days longer. Then
put it in the hogshead and tread well
down until the latter is about half full
allowing it to stand till heating takes
place again. Fill in with six inches If
equal parts of well rotted manure and
garden mold well mixed. Cover with =
sash. If sash is not convenient, a LARGO
piece Of coarse muslin may be laid over
the head of the hogshead and fastened
oy means of tightly fitting hoop.

GRINDING CORN AND COB TOGETHER

For long time corn-cob meal was
divided, because analysis did not show
that it had much nutritive value. Yet
the story of the woman who kept her cow
mainly on corn cobs and refuse from the
table and kitchen showed that cobs had
some value The experience of farmers
also confirmed the value of corn cobs,
when ground with the grain. Corn meal
alone is too condensed food. It packs
IN the stomach, and even mixed with cut
hay 1t is too heavy feed for horses.
Grinding the cob with it enables the sa-
Iva to mix through the mass, and more
OF the nutritive value of the grain is ex-
tracted. But it is important that the
cob be ground as finely as possible. If
the cob is moist, as it is apt to be earlv
IN the winter, it will pay to mix equal
parts of oats or barley with it before
grinding. This enables the miller to
grind even damp corn and cob much
finer than would otherwise be possible.
Unground pieces of cob are indigestible.
and instead of making the meal more nu,
tritive they detract from it.-Bostoga Cuzl

POPCORN FOR CROP

The dark-colo-ed is not wanted nv
consumers. All the so-called "golden3
varieties should be tested as to poppi,e,
qualities before they are planted; some
of them have thick, tough bran that ia
undesirable. Common rice com sells
we'll and is a good yielder Popcorn
makes very tender growth at first, and
it is best to seed heavily and thin when
four or five inches high. 1t Will prob
ably yield best in drills, but as | have
never checked any cannot speak from
experience in comparative tests. Two
or three stalks can be left in hill. tina
hills being fifteen to eikhteen inches
apart in the row. As the growth il

until the corn was n foot high, and the

is expensive, as it costs six or seven cents
per busheI of forty pounds-two level

tlonally pure, some of the corn will be
too large to be marketable. Some seeds.

L

taken to cure the corn we'll The silks
and ribbon should be taken off, and the
corn be cribbed for year. Consumers
do not want it until one year old, as it
will not pop we'll before. From fifty to
sixty bushels of forty pounds can be
raised per acre, and the average price is
nearly three cents per pound, although
one year age sold $50 bushels at Two to
two and one-half cents, owing to over
production. 1t is absolutely necessary
to exclude all mice from it. Any faint

pure seed, good crib, and ability on

MAKE A TEST OF THE sHo.

The farmer who has not yet tried a
slio and is feeding corn stalks cured in
the field would do well to find out the
nearest silo and go and interview the
owner of it and see for himself the re-
suits. If he can get in his hay for S1.50
pee ton, all costs counted, he may go on
making and feeding hay and leave the
silo to others, but if his hay costs him
more than that he will find the silo an
economy, even TO store his green clover
in.-NeD York Times.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

A wet bath to ducklings is generally
fatal.
Oil meal and bran makes a good feed
for growing pigs.
If you have the means of cooking food
for the hogs, try it.
The parent colony is the colony from
which swarm has issued.
Keep the stables clean and let the
horses and COWS have good bed.
Every apiarist should aim to keep his
place, his extrcator and receptacles
clean
Musty, dirty hay is the cause of heaves.
1t does not pay to feed such hay and de-
stroy the usefulness of good horse.
Manure in the barnyard is as much
dead capital as is money lying in a safe.
Set it to earning something as soon az
possible.
Horses will stand great deal of cold,
nevertheless an open field with barbed
wire fence for shelter is not the best
place for horse in cold weather.
Contrary to common belief JERSEY
will make excellent light beeves. The
meat is tender, juicy and well favored,
and the Jersey steers make good light
working oxen.
Keep up an intimate acquaintance with
the calves. Keep them clean and treat
them kindly. Teach them to lead readily

The Whistling PlOwbOy.

Mr.. Kilpin was going to preach at little
meeting The weather, although 1t was very
boisterous, did not stop him. He travelled
ON horseback, and as he trotted on the storm
increased, almost to a hurricane. He felt
weary and cold and wet, and sincerely
fresde. Forgetting for the moment the
grand object of his ride, he felt somewhat
soured, but he soon had something to
sweeten him. His attention was drawn to
sounds Of singing and whistling. Soon a
poor boy made his appearance, looking
strength was required to hold up against
the tempest, which beat full in his face. A
conversation then took place somewhat as
follows: Well, my boy, you appear all
alive this morning, and singing gayly."

The Child Kings.

Little Queen Wilhelmina of the
Netherlands, little King Alphonso
XIII. of Spain, and little King Alex
ander l. of Servia, sit on three of
Europe's thrones. Isabella II. of
Spain, grandmother of the baby king,
by curious coincidence, also assembled
was born in 1880, and ruled until her
dethronementi in 1S6S-thirty- five years.
In the seventeenth century there were
five child sovereigns, Sweden furnish
ing no less than three, viz. Queen
Christina, born 1926, who assembled
the throne on the death of her father,
the great Gustavus Adolphus, when
six years of age; Charles XII, who came
to the throne at the age of five, in 1860;
and thirdly, his son, Charles XII, the
Lion King of the North" who was
proclaimed king when only fifteen. In
France, Louis XIV. assembled the
throne in 1913 at the age of five, and in
Spain, Charles II. was similarly placed
in 1865, when only FIVE, but he ruled
barely five years. Coming to the six
teenth century, Edward vi. became
king of England at the age of ten, in
Iof' "nne Jainee l. VI EnSIauu anu
Scotland, son of Mary Stuart, was only
one year old when he became king of
Scotland. King James II. of Scotland
was also a minor when he assembled the
throne, and Kings Charles VI, VIII,
and / X. of France were but respectively
twelve, thirteen and ten years of age
when they assumed the crown. In
Denmark and Norway Christian w.,
born in 1877, became king at the age
of eleven and ruled for sixty years.
Finally, in the fifteenth century, Henry
vi. of England assembled the throne
when baby of nine months, in 1922,
and occupied it until 146l, while EN-
peror Henry w. was but six when the
imperial crown descended to him.
