FACTS FOR FARMERS.

WHEN and how to water the team is
not we'll understood by all. Too much
water at one time and not enough at
another is cruelty. The team should
be watered whenever the animals are
thirsty, especially during warm wealth.
er, and they will not drink to excess.
ONE of the chief leafs in stone fruits
is potash in the soil. This is especially
true of peaches, which are supposed to
do better on sandy soils, where potash
is usually deficient. Liberal dressings
with wood ashes or muriate of potash
are preventive OF, if not remedy for,
the yellows.
EDUCATION among farmers is pro-
crossing rapidly. 1t is now known
that farmer may be scientist VITA
plenty of room on his farm for obser-
vation and experiment The best farm
ers not only aim to make discoveries,
but they read with interest of the work
done by others.
IT has long been recognized that the
yield of milk is materially affected by
the nervous condition of the animal,
but only within the Last few years has
it been demonstrated that the quality
of the milk is more affected by nervous
changes than is the quantity given

BTLLETIN No. IS of the Utah station
of Logan gives an account of expert

born, which show that cutting hay and
mixing grain with it has no advantage
over feeding them separately, and that
cutting hay for feeding has no advan-
tage over feeding whole.

INTENSIVE FARMING.
The Kind of Cultivation Which Assures
Good Results.

Good Results.
AS the agricultural areas gradually
grow less in proportion to population,
not only must better systems be ap-
piled, but more thoroughncss in all de-
partments of land culture to obtain the
best results This would imply smaller
farms with a larger proportion of
profit. A writer upon the subject, re-
ferring particularly to the south, says,
all over the country we see farmers who
are considering the advisability of rid
ding themselves of the large farm and
its attendant cares and expenses, and
dcvoting their energies to the better
cultivation of fcw wer acres.
This is move in the right direction,
especially in the older and more thiclSly
settled regions of the country. In many
places farm lands have reached value
where it is extremely difficult to make
the staple crops pay a net return an
acre that will equal the interest upon
the investment. Such branches as will
give a higher return an acre are being
looked to, such as gardening and fruit
farming, high-class dairying, etc. The
only trouble with this new movement
is that some of the men who go into it
think that these branches can be con-
ductcd on the same broad lines and
principles that they have applied in the
management of the general farm. This
is a grave error, and almost always
leads to disaster. If the farmer who is
thus changing his plans cannot make
up his mind to change his methods and
practices also-in fact, to begin at the
beginning and study the new agricul-
ture which is comprehendcd in the
phrase intensive cultivauion"--he had
better turn the management of things
over to one Of the new generation.
Send the oldest boy to the agricultural
. college, and when he comes home le,
him take the helm. m.-Western Rural.

The Evils of Poor Roads.

The evils which arise from the pres
ent system of country roads are greatly
enlarged by the fact that the roads are
worst ut the very time that the farmer
has the time to supply the public de-
mands. During the summer, when the
roads are at their best, he is busy at tho
work of cultivation and reaping. In the
meantime he has not marketed his sur
plus winter stock, because the roads
we're well-nigh inpassable and only
.he richest of them have help enough
10 keep the market wagons running
while the summer work is on. The
TALL duties are only degree less exact
ng, and with them come rain and early
snow to change the roads into mud
panks again.-RurRl World.

TO ESCAPE "ELY TIME"
Precautions to BE Observed for the Abat-
Ing of n Summer Pest.

Precautions to BE Observed for the Abat-
Ing of n Summer Pest
The hard work and the heat of sum-
mer are made more difficult to bear be-
cause of the constant worry of driving
flies" To find partial means of re-
lief, at least, from these pests, it is
necessary to study natural history in so
far as it relates to their habits and man
ner Of multiplying. 1t is declared, on
good scientific authority, that the
swarms of summer are probably pro-
duced from few individuals that have
lived through the winter in protected
hooks, such as they can find in clothing,
behind picture frames and in various
corners of stuffed furniture or other
convenient hiding places. Scientific in
vestigation also has shown that the
eggs are laid in filth, and the young
hatch out there and thrive upon decay
matter. These facts surely give hint
as to the prevention of large proper
portion of the swarms that ihfest ones
premises in summer Any kind of
manure near a house is sure to be a
breeding spot for flies, for this Is just
the place where they delight to lay
their eggs. The pigpen should not be
near the house, as is so often the case;
nor should piles of stable dressing be
allowed to accumulate when the stable
is near, or joined to the house. Pals
of broken food and kitchen refuse are
frequently to be seen near the kitchen
door, or in an open shed adjoining the
kitchen, that attract all the flies within a
large radius Let every place, where
flies could thus breed, and everything
that would attract them about the
door, be cleared away, and kept so, and
