What to Do with the Stones.

We have all heard the old witticism
about the farmers of New Hampshire
being compelled to plant corn with a
rifle on account OF 1.-THE superabundance
Of stones. There are many farms,
and good ones too, in these United
States, on which, if the stones are not
quite SO Astounding as that, they are
nevertheless so thickly distributed as
to be q real nuisance. And the worst
of it is, the number in the fields seem
to be Just as great every year, nomat-
ter how thoroughly they were gather
Ell up the previous season.
We once knew o good old Baptist
deacon, who sturdily insisted that
stones grow. 81 know they do" he
would say, because after I've cleaned
'em all out OF my garden one year,
there's Just as many there next year,
an more, too" We won't quarrel
with the deacon's logic; it's as good as
many a more scientific theory that
has had it's day and departed. The
fact remains that the supply ofstones
on many farms is apparently mex
haustible; and what to do with them
is a serious problem.
There is a limit to piIlng them on
top of the ground. either in the form
of stone wal or OF big mounds, like n
Biblical monument. Stone fences are
a good deal of anuisanCe themselves.
Unless laid in cement-which would be
rather too expensive for the ordinary
farmer-they become harbors for un-
desirable "small deer" of various
sorts, and through them and longside
OF them weeds and brambles fird I'M
molested foothold-
The wild brier.
The thorn and the thistle grew higher
and higher"
Yet this seems to be the readiest
way to dispose of a vast quantity of
loose stone picked from cultivated
fields.
Another plan is to bury them in
drains which is a useful method, but
likewise limited. They may also be
utilized in filling up swampy spots;
and some wet holes will absorb an
immense lot, especially if, as is desir-
able, the valuable muck is first
removed and composted for f~ertiliz-
ing purposes.
A good deal of stone might be made
use OF, with the aid of a neighborhood
stone breaker, in improving the con-
dition Of the roads. In stony locali-
ties, it is true, there are apt to be
nor stones in the road than are
wanted already; but there are almost
always stretches OF low-lyiNg road
that need improvement, while a
smooth roadway OF broken stone is
better everywhere than one made up
of boulders and ruts.
These are some of the ways in which
stones may be disposed OF. And yet,
when all is done, in stony regions they
are apt, like the poor. always with
u.s." n problem as unsolved and I'M
solvable as the origin OF evil.

But this aeration of the soil is a
matter OF very great Importance. As
the use OF commercial fertilizers in

grows, pari passu, OF securing proper
aeration by turning under sod

The practice of market gardeners

this is the case, it will be found that
these fertilizers will apparently begin

real difficulty is, however, that after
the organic matter derived from grass

How to Raise Heifers.

Right here" says Mr.. King, in
the Ohio Farmer, Il want to say a
word about feeding those choice
calves that are TO build up our herd.
| think it best for the COW, and decid-
eddy best for the cali, to let the latter
remain with the COW at least three
days. do not wish you to under
stand me to advocate letting the
calf haze all the milk for this length
Oftime. Take all you car get twice a
day; the calf will besure to get enough.
When you do take the calf away, the
better way is to have them in a
stable and quietly drive the COW out,
letting the calf remain, so She does
not see you take it from her. Keep iU
where shecan neither seenor hear it,
if possible. Leave it alone twelve
hours. Offer it some milk warm from
the COW. 1t will generally suck the
finger, and about the next feed it
should drink alone. You
should not feed it fresh
milk right along. Give one-half
skinned sweet milk until two weeks
old, when it will make a better animal
for the purpose you are raising it, if
fed sweet SKINNED milk with the ad-
dition OF a very little oil meal or wheat
bran-better, in fact, than if fed on
whole milk. This manner of feeding
will give n growthy calf of large eating
capacity, which is very desirable in a
COW. We all know that the more a
COW eats the more butter she will
make. She needs a certain amount
to supply her body, and all over and
above that she puts into the bucket.
Feed a calf on fresh milk and very
rich feed, and IL will get into the habit
OF laying on flesh, and it will be hard
to get rid OF this characteristic in the
COW. 1t is q safe rule to discard any
COW that gets lat while in full flow Of
milk. You may DE sure her milk is
deficient in butter fats"
