The third use is to grow it for seed for

should not be cut till mature, and
then early in the morning or late in
the evening, as the seed shakes out
easily by handling, and much will be
lost If handled when very dry. The
same care must be used afterward
when curing to be threshed. The yield

five dollars busheL.

Parties wishing to take up long
wooded sheep should be careful in the
selection. If thoroughbreds are de-
sired and only wishing to purchase a
few head, be careful what you are buy
ing. Most of the large breeders are
strictly honest men, but even then it is
better TO get young and healthy sheep.
Look shy at the old ''cul ewes. "
Breeders culling over their surplus
ewes, will be sure to select the oldest
and those unthrifty (if any), and bring
them to high degree of flesh by plac-
ing them in the best pastures and Civ
ing grain rations- These avoid, as you
viii not be able to keep up the flesh,
they being too old, and if you get one
crop of lambs, with healthy ewes and
robust and thrifty lambs, you are o
lucky man.-Westerp Rural.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING.

SHoors growing around the trunks of
ment They should never be allowed
to start. If kept back for year they
will cease to appear. Grass around the
trunks will be more serviceable to the
tree if the sod is cut and inverted.
MANY trees would bear fruit if they
had about one-haf of the limbs and
branches cut out, so as to allow the
sun TO act on the leaves and assist in
preventing mildew. Too much top and
too many branches draw from the soil
the nourishment that should be used
for fewer branches
Now THAT the time is coming when
there is liability that the pastures will
be cropped too close, look out for
them. 1t is better to do some feeding
in the barn rather than that the roots
of the grass in the pastures be so near
~ killed that they will not recover till
very late in the spring.
THERE is no reason why the boxes
used for berries and larger fruit should
not be snch as to express measure. If
In sizes TO hold quarts, pecks or BUSH
els, more satisfactory arrangement of
prices could be made. There being no
standard of measurement for the boxes
now used they differ greatly.
WITHOUT doubt every insect pest has
its parasite, and one of the most impor-
tant things for a farmer to know is
what are the parasites of his insect
pests, and also what insects feed on
other insects. Thus large part of the
insect world will be found to be the
friend and not the enemy of the farmer.
THE plan of making witless war on
birds is already beginning to bear adj
verse fruits in many sections of the
country. Before man begins to kill
off the feathered songsters he should
acquaint himself with their customs, so
as TO be able to distinguish the injuri-
Gus from the beneficial, and to carefully
protect and foster the latter.
USING ewes that have born twin
lambs, using young ewes from twins,
and using rams that were twins, has
given good results in increasing the
prolificacy of the fiocks where expert
ments have been made as tests in that
direction. Even triplets have been Sc
cured by breeding for greater prolifica-
CIV, and by selection for that purpose.
