YALE'S FALL FAIR.

1t is none too early to begin the
agitation of the subject of our annual
fall fair, indeed we know that good
work has already been done in that
direction by the improvement of the
race course and the building of the
new bridge for the accommodation
and safety of the people. But we
want to get the attention and aid of
the farmers to this work. We want
your help to make this the most
successful fair we have held yet.
Bring in your thoroughbred animals,
your poultry, make good show
under this head this year, have your
boys take pride in bringing their pretty
fowls. Bring your mammoth vege-
tables of all kinds, you always have
some overgrown pumpkin, squash or
other vegetable which is interesting to
see and which make people utter
those big surprised "oh's". Bring in
your samples of grains to show the
result of honest toll on your part.
Bring in everything or anything that
you think will interest the crowds.
Ask your wives to make their sweetest
butter and lightest bread, can up their
incest fruit and make their prettiest
jelly to show off at our fair, besides
all the handsome articles i'm needle
work. There's a place for them all
and we will be glad to see them. In
return for this help which the farmers
are going to give us, we, living in the
village, will try and not be behind in
doing our share for your entertain
ment and benefit. AS in other years
there will be a special prize list offered
besides the usual prizes, the merchants
will here come to the front. The
races will be finer than ever, much
pains having been taken in this direc-
ton. Bear in mind that this year will
see the most successful fair of any
that we have held.

this resolution was another well spring

Farming without Pigs.

A somewhat eccentric farmer whom
we once knew took the thoroughly
Jewish view of the hog as an unclean
animal and would neither eat its flesh
nor have one about his place. Most Of
what usually went to the pig pen was
given to the poultry. He claimed that
his hens laid nor eggs than they
would if obliged to travel and fee
over land contaminated by the hog.
Our experience has always been hat .

tatoes-could be kept with scarcely
any cost. Such pork is sweet and not
unheaithful. 1t is the keeping Of
large droves of hogs together. feeding
them on ground that has been poisoned
by their eXcrement, that gives rise to
diseased pork and creates the dislike
against pork as a food No other ami.

tatoes. especially for home use,
1t is quite an item to have at least q
few that will come in very early. New
potatoes and pease make an appetizing
dish, and if the potatoes are ready to
use by the time the pease can be grown
a little extra care will need TO DO
given. One of the most important
things is good seed of some of the best
of the early varieties. Almost every
year there are more or less new va
rieties brought put that are claimed to
be very much earlier than anything
ever introduced before; but in 4 major
ity of cases after a trial a large pro-
portion of these prove of no especial
value. One of the best of the early
varieties is the early sunrise, it being
few days earlier under the same con-
ditioDs of growth than the early rose
or the beauty of Hebron. A warm,
sandy loan that is stirred deep and Is
well drained and reasonably rich is the
best soil in which to grow early pota-
toes. If manure is used it should he
thoroughly rotted and fined, and
then be we'll incorporated with the
soil. Run out the burrows reason-
ably deep, using a good single
shovel pillow. 1t will save labor
to take pains 20 run nj good-sized
burrows With Il wheelbarrow or
hand-cart bring a quantity of fresh
manure from the horse stable and put
a good forkful into the bottom of the
furrow where the hill of potatoes is TO
be planted; put it into a compact little
pile, as the object in using it is to secure
a small amount of heat and also thor.
ough drainage. Over this put at least
an inch of fine rich soil and then plant
the potato on this, and cover ut least
four inches deep. If the seed is handled
carefully it will help 4 little if the seed
is sprouted before planting; but if this
is done, very careful handling must be
given in order not to bruise Dr. injure
the sprouts or more injury will be done
than benefit derived. Good drainage
on each side of the hill must be given
in order to induce a good termination
and a vigorous start to grow.
Thorough cultivation from the start
must be given, keeping the soil clear OF
weeds and in a loose, mellow condition.
A few hills planted in this way, if given
good care, will be ready for the table

they opined that he knew them,
And the long limbs scrape or the cottage roof
as he checrily whistles through them;
And he sings TO me, dear brother. the songs
that We used to sing together
When we lay in the shade, and heard the voice
that came with the windy weather.
And we were three. We two and the wind, for

And he sings them still in 4 gentle strain, and

An Insect which Has Caused Great Loss
During Past Seasons.
The clover leaf hopper, illustrated
from Bulletin Is of the Iowa expert
ment station, is one of the most serious
enemies clover has to contend with. 1t
is almost exclusively a clover feeder,
remaining upon the plant as long as
nutriment can be secured from it, but
moving to blue grass, cabbage. sugar
beets, etc, when clover is not to be had.
1t also feeds upon pig weeds and other
garden weeds. The adult is about one
eighth inch long and half as broad, and
is marked with numerous dark blotches
and stripes. especially on the wings.
During winter it h~ibcrnates among
dead weeds and leaves and may be seen
hopping anXiously about on shiny days
in midwinter. l. is among the first in
sects noticed in spring and can be
driven from its retreats under trash,

FARM HINTS.

SET out your new currant plantation
rs soon as the condition Of the ground
will permit.
ANY hour when no other work is
pressing can be put in to advantage in
forking over the ant heap.
PUT your sawdust around your cur
amt and gooseberry bushes. They
need good manure alone and will pay
for it.
ECONOMY is the proper term for good
farming. Save the Titles all around.
Chips will make as good a fire while
they last as big cordwood.
CULrIvATING the ground for flowers
and delicate early vegetables can be
better accomplished by a four-tined
spading fork than with a spade.
The winter winds often pile up the
leaves of the woods so that they may
be easily gathered and used for bed
ding down live stock when straw is
scarce.
VISIT q nursery and see how spades
may be kept bright. The digging up
of trees needs the very best kind of a
tool. Few farmers have a good spade,
and a less number keep it bright and
sharp.
WHEN you set n broody hen give her
a green sod for the bottom of her nest;
it tends to keep moisture for the eggs
