Leaks on the Farm.

There are many leaks upon some
farms, and some upon nearly every
farm. A few of them are. lack OF
knowledge of the principles of feed
ing, so that foods are not rightly
proportioned for the results desired.
An attempt to do more than can be
properly done, and consequent neg
lect TO do work in the proper season.
This leads to extra cost for labor to
DESTROY large weeds which could have
been easily killed while small, and in
future seasons to killing those that
spring up from their seeds. 1t also
results in crops not harvested when
they are at their most favorable con-
ditiOns, as the late-cut hay, the
frozen vegetables or fruit and other
damaged products will testify.
The keeping Of land which does
Hot, either as pasture, moving land
or woodland, or in hoed crops, pay a
fair profit over the cost of manure,
labor and seed, with fair wages to
the farmer, is another bad leak of
common occurrence. Again, cows
that do not pay their keeping for
more than nine months in the year,
and horses whose days work during
the year does not amount to as much
as their feed costs, are leaks tcat let
the profits run away very rapidly.
When these are all stepped others
can be easily named, but these are
enough for once.-American Guilt

enough to make q test at least 100.
Count carefully. Place the seeds be-
tween woolen cloths moistened with
tepid water The cloths should be
boiled before they are used, and the
plate or pan in which they are laid
should be scalded to avoid the growth
of fungi or mold. For the same rea-
son, only recently boiled water should
be used for moistening the cloths. At
least two cloths should be laid upon
the plate. Then the seed is dis
trlbuted over them, and covered with
another cloth. Ii the reader can
cover the plate with glass he should
do so, as this will retard evaporation
and protect the cloths from floating
germs. Under these conditions and a
temperature OF 20 to so degrees Fab
renheit, good seed will germinate
within ten days. Seeds of little vi
Cality may germinate after ten Gays,
but they should not be counted in the
test, as they would probably fail to
germinate under field conditions.
Seed should not be used when more
than 10 per cent. fails to germlnate,
If better seed can be produced in time
for testing and sowing. Cincinnati

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.
Construct ing Eations.

The question is sometimes asked
how well-balanced rations are formed.
All that is necessary is take from
tables Of analyses of fodder subtances
in which are given the percentages Of
protein or albuminoid substances, the
carbohydrates and fat and construct
by combination so as TO secure the de
sired ratio between the albuminoids
and the carbohydrates and fat, re-
duced to a basis of carbohydrates by
multiplying by , 8, combined. While
this may be little perplexing at
first, it can in little time be accom-
plished with comparative ease. In
the case OF average farmers, we hardly
recognize the necessity OF resorting to
any practice or giving special rations.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.
ro RnI.a Flna rematoes.

The tomato should be closely
watched and all laterals or suclSers
that appear above each leaf kept of.
This will induce the plant to set
more fruit which, being well fed from
the rich soil, will grow larger and
ripen earlier than if the suckers were
allowed to grow. AS soon as. the
plants are ten TO twelve inches high
set a good stake five or six feet high
by each plant and keep them well
tied up. This will keep the fruit
clean and it will not rot so badly as
when left on the ground. Tied to
stakes gives the sun a better chance
to ripen and it is easier to pick when
ripe. Take off all imperfect fruit as
it forms This will throw more force
and vigor in the well-shaped fruit,
causing it to grow larger and ripen
sooner. l have tested plants pruned
and not pruned TO see what adyan-
tage pruning was, says correspond
ent OF Farm and Home. Those
pruned had much larger, better
shaped fruit that rotted less and gave
ripe fruit much earlier than those
not pruned. As Soon as the fruit is
grown let the suckers grow. They
will give you fruit then till frost.

The tomb OF Edward I. OF England.
who died In 1907, was opened on Jan,
uary 2, ITO, after 403 years had
elapsed, and his body found TO be al.
most perfect, the face even retaining
It's expression.
. Canute, the Dane, who crossed over
to England In 10l7, was found In
l776 by the workmen who repaired
the Cathedral. His body had reposed
in the grave for nearly 750 years, but
was perfectly fresh and lifc-like.
In 1869. three Roman soldiers were
dug out of a peat bog In Ireland,
where they had In all probability lain
at least 1900 years, yet they were
perfectly preserved even to skin, hair,
eyes, and nails. m
In the reign OF James III. Of
England, the big church at Warwick
shire fell. In clearing away the de.
bris IL became necessary to move the
tomb of Thomas Gray, at one time
Marquis OF DorsetshiFe. When this
had been done IL was found that the
body of the Marquis was as fresh az
a corpse newly buried, the joints even
being pliable. This discovery was
made exactly seventy-eight years,
three months, and two days after the
burial, says the Philadelphia Press.
Robert Braybrook, who was bishop
of London in 1881, and died in 1404,
was found to look perfectly natural
when removed from the tomb after
the great London fire of 1866; even

breeding Cattle.

In the breeding OF cattle the farmer
should make up his mind for what
purpose he wishes to use them-either
for beef, butter milk or work. Ii for
beef the Durham or Hereford Is best,
for butter the Guernsey or Jersey, for
milk the Ayrshire or Holstein and for
work the Devon. For the calves that
you wish to raise it is better to have
the cows come in in the fall. Feed
tire calves in the barn until six
months old. Give new milk for a
few days and gradually change to
skimmilk till at four weeks old the
calf will thrive on all skimmilk. at
this time begin to put hay, bran anc
linseed meal where they can get at 1t
and they very soon will learn to eat
it. Feed the milk regularly twice a
day. Go among them daily, pet them
and teach them to eat choice bits out
of your hand. Keep this up after
they go to pasture and they will never
trouble you by being wild.

For Mail Delivery.

Contra Costa County, California,
has originated n system OF numbering
country houses which deserves attcn-
tion. Like every ether Western de-
vice OF the sort, 1t is simple and prac-
ticable. All the country roads are
divided into blocks, ten to mile, by
imaginary circles radiating from the
county seat, and each block is given
two numbers, the odd number for the
left OF the road and the even for the
right. OF course in the West, where
the counties are nearly all square
blocks, the choice OF central point
is much easier than in the East. The
Postmaster General has the plan un-
der consideration in connection With
the frce-delivery system fo- general
adoption.

Asparagus.

Prepare ground for asparagus by
giving it heavy coat Of well rotted
barn yard manure, plow and harrow
thoroughly, and run burrows about
five feet apart and set in plant
every eighteen inches to two feet.
Give clean culture and an annual
dressing of manure for two or three
years when you go to cutting, and
the bed is good for lifetime, and, Of
all the farm, the asparagus bed will
be the most profitable part. Aspara-
gus is generally in demand until the
middle of June or 1st Of July, after
which if kept clean until heads be-
gin to spread, it will then take care
of itself, and If away from trees or
buildings, the tops and weeds can be
burned off early in the spring without
injury to the roots; after wlnch more
manure and thorough cultivation
should be given. Prairie Farmer.

With the thought of the health

farmers can be found who make
NO attempt in the line Of cultivation.
1t is largely for the reason that there

should recommend the investment OF

Farmers and all other persons who
are exposed to the weather in out-of-
door pursuits have cause to dread this
season Of the year. They work and
overhead themselves, and then, be-
coming suddenly chilled, they con-
tract cold which settles in their
back. This is the experience OF a great
many people. The result is rheuma-
tism, or pneumonia, or pleurlsy. The
real reason is that the cold has af-
fected their kidneys, and all these
maladies come from disabling I liese
organs. If they will take REIp's GER
