PREPARE FOR SPRING.
Get Everything in Readiness for Planting
AS Early as Possible.


AS Early as Possible.
With a number of spring crops earli-
ness in planting or sowing seed is
quite an item, and it is important to
get everything in readiness so that the
planting can be done at the first favor
able opportunity,
One thing that can be looked after in
advance is the supply of seed. What
ever quantity is needed in the spring
should be secured in good season.
Grass, clover, oats, corn or any kind
of garden seed should be gotten early
and tested, so that when the season
for planting comes there need be no
delay.
Glover and grass seed are usually
the first sown, and it is important that
the first opportunity be taken advan-
tage of if good stand is secured.
In nearly all cases the early
oats give the best yield Every ar
rangement should be made to push the
seeding as fast as possible whenever
the soil is in good condition to work.
To do this to the best advantage it is
necessary to have the seed on hand
and the necessary implements all
ready for work.
With a number of garden crops earle
ness is important, and the supply of
seed should be secured in good season.
Good seed sown in good season are es-
sential items in securing the best
| growth and WELD.
Manure can be hauled out and ap.
piled at any time during the winter
when the other farm work will per-
nit and there is manure to haul. On
the average farm there is no occasion
for rotting; the additional cost in
handling will fully make up for any
advantage that rotting may be. All
things considered, the most ecouom.
ical plan is to haul direct from the
stables to the fields. With some crops
in the garden and truck patch com.
mercial fertilizers can be used to good
advantage, and what is needed should
be secured in good season, as it is best
to apply just before rather than after
sowing the seed.
The tools may be looked after, what
repairing is needed be done, or, if new
tools are needed, they can be pur
chased There is nothing gained by
waiting, while there is always more or
less risk of loss in delay.-St Louis
| Republic.

The qCrong aody,
with Catarrh, is to stop it without
curing it. The poisonous, inita-
ting snuffs, strong caustic solutions,
creams" balms and the like may,
perhaps, palllate for time. But
they may drive the disease to the
lungs. The wrong way is full of
danger.
The right way is proved one.
It's with DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy. 1t cures, perfectly and per-
manently, by its mild, soothing,
cleansing and healing properties,
the worst cases of Chronic Catarrh.
1t has proved itself right, thou
sands of times, when everything
else has failed.
And this makes its proprietors
willing to prove that it's the right
thing for you, no matter how bad
your case or of how long standing.
If they can't cure your Catarrh,
they'll pay you $500 in cash.
They mean it.
They're certain Of their medi-
cine.

my corn fodder for my cattle, and this
fork for handling it is ahead of any

equally convenient in handling fine

be made of first-class timber; then it
can be made very light and still
durable and strong. A short shovel
handle gives you complete control over
the fork when loaded.

TIMBER FOR PROTECTION.
Various Ways In Which Trees Are Bene

Various Ways In Which Trees Are Bene-
fetal to the Farm.
Timber belts traversing portions Of
farms exposed to the sweep OF storms
become beneficial in two ways-first,
by the growth of the timber they af-
ford; and secondly, by the protection
of the crops. Where the land is valu-
able and the timber is less in demand,
the belts may be only rod or two in
breath. Evergreens, always clothed
with verdure, will arrest the wind in
winter as efficiently when only rod
in width as a screen of deciduous trees
four or five rods wide. AS a general
rule, the belts should be wide enough
to permit one-half to be cut away at a
time, by which treatment the land will
always be protected by the half that
remains. AS soon as the first half is
removed, the sprouts or suckers will
spring up and start new screen, when
the other half is taken off. Each half
may be planted in different years; or it
may all be planted at once, and
one-half allowed to grow longer than
the other. Or, one-half may be of
evergreen trees, as white pine or Nor
way spruce, and the other half of such

Potash Fertilizers.

We find the following in a report
from the Massachusetts experiment
station: Potash fertilizers have decid.
edly proved the desirable qualities of
fruits. Whenever the percentage of
this element has been raised the
change is accompanied by an in
crease of sugar and a decrease
of acid. This is important--a matter
of dollars and cents. Other things be.
ing equal, tine fruit with the largest
per cent. of sugar will bring the high
est price. Moreover, less desirable
varieties may be brought up to high
er standard, thus giving value to some
good quality, as hardness and prolific
bearing. The fact that the quality
and character of garden and orchard
products can be modified by the effect
of special fertilizers is of immense i'm
portanee in its practical as well as
scientific bearing,

like diamonds or pearls, the relative
values Of large and small being out of
all proportion to size, every increase in

other historical gems, they become of
almost priceless value. So it is with

ton to himself and pleasure to his
friends, and at the same time be of
very little market value, even though a
not very wide gulf divides him from
professionals receiving fabulous sums
Tor their services.
Special professional skill or knowl-
edge has proportionally very much
greater value than average knowledge.
In professions like those of law and
medicine, there is SO much ground to
cover and so much knowledge to ac-
quire that it is almost impossible in a
lifetime to master every branch of the
study. and to keep pace with the new
acts, judicial interpretations or medical
discoveries which each year produces
To attempt to master the whole would
usually result in general knowledge
and skill of only average quality. 1t is
the specialist who makes reputation
and fortune. The great secret of
professional success is to possess some
branch of the skill or knowledge in a
greater degree than the average of
those in the profession, and if possible
beyond all others 1t is better for the
individual, and certainly better for
humanity, that medical man, for in
stance, should devote himself heart and
soul to the investigation and study OF
some particular form of disease, and
thereby add to pre-existing knowledge,
and be himself in request because OF
special skill
1t goes without saying that those
who have natural talents and educa'
ton have an advantage over those who
have not, other things being equal. II
is because other things are not equal
that men of education sometimes fail
to succeed, and are pushed aside in the
race of life by others whose scanty in
formation and moderate attachments
compensated for by energy, discretion
and self-assertion. -National Review.

GROOMING HORSES.
How to Keep the Animals In n Healthy
and Thrifty Condition.

How to Keep the Animals In Healthy
and Thrifty Condition.
The principal object in grooming is
to secure cleanliness. The system is
continually throwing off waste matter
through the pores of the skin, and if
these are allowed to get closed up it is
apt to produce an unhealthy state Of
the system that if kept up will prevent
the best thrift.
BY keeping the system healthy less
food is required to keep the animal in
thrifty condition. In addition to the
better health maintained careful
grooming is one of the best preventives
of lice. An animal that is allowed to
run down and at the same time to be-
come filthy is far more liable to become
lousy than If kept clean. 1t is not so
much the quantity OF grooming done as
1t is the regularity. A thorough brush
ing every morning will be of more
benefit than using the currycomb and
brush once or twice week.
The grooming should not be done in
way to hurt or fret the animal. The
currycomb should not be too sharp, as
the skin of some horses is very tender
and hard rubbing with sharp comb is
positive torture In many cases the
brush could be used to a much better
advantage and the animal would en-
Joy it. When the team is at work in
many cases considerable trouble could
be saved by washing off the legs at
night when the teams come in, then
rub dry with a cloth. This will not
only lessen the work of keeping clean,
but avoid the risks of scratches, as al
lowing the mud to remain on is lead
ing cause of this disease.
By grooming regularly and keeping
in good thrifty condition during the
winter the horses are in much better
condition to do the spring work than
when they are let run down during the
winter. 1t is often the case that it is
necessary to push the teams somewhat
in the spring, and if they are able to dc
this it is very important to have kept
them in good condition during the win
ter. One Of the most important items
in doing this economically is careful
grooming Feeding and caring for the
stock are the most important work tC
be done on the farm during the winter
1t always pays to take all reasonable
pains to keep the stock healthy ant
thrifty. st. Louis Republic.

CONCERNING GRAPES.

The Fertilizers Most Rapidly Absorbed by
the Vines.
Any land that is rich enough to bear
forty bushels of corn to the acre, is rich
enough to grow grapes As far as,my
own course is concerned, l have not
used manure after planting. / have
used applications sometimes of bone
and ashes, and sometimes of bone and
potash salts, with occasional plaster of
paris mixed with it, because the grape
requires more or less sulphur in the
soil; the plaster of paris is the cheap
est way you can get it.
The reason why you don't want to
apply animal manure largely to your
grapes is that it induces rank, coarse
growth of wood and foliage, which is
unfavorable to the production of fruit
You want fair, moderate growth of
wood and that is all You want me-
1ium sized wood. The cane should be
about the size of your little finger, and
it will bear larger lunches and more
of them than ii it is three times as
large. You want to have the canes
well ripened also.
Stimulating the vine by animal man.
ure makes it grow until late in the
fall, and the wood will not ripen as
well. The fruit buds do not thor
oughly develop until the wood is par
italy ripe l think you can make a
much stronger fruit bud by moderate
than by over manuring--J. b. Moore,
