FACTS FOR FARMERS.

THERE is more mineral water in
clover than in corn, but bran is rich in
minerals.
ONIONS and peas are the first spring
crops in the garden. The ground can
not be made ready too soon.
RYE will produce the first early
green food for the animals, but it must
be used with caution or it may cause
scours
Do NOT place your reliance on
one crop as it may meet an unfavora-
bic season. A diversity OF crops is the
surest method.
THE commercial ground meat is an
excellent food for laying hens. Hens
require animal food when laying, and
they will also relish clover that has
been finely cut and scalded
TIE poultry yard should have peach
trees planted in it this spring. not only
to afford shade to the fowls when the
trees are larger, but because the fowls
will greatly aid in protecting the young
trees from insects.
In warming the cream up to the
cburning temperature it should be vel
stirred before it is tested with the
thermometer, for cream conducts hea'
very slowly, and while one part of i
might be just the right temperature
the rest might be too cold.
If lime is TO be supplied during the
spring the application should be made
as early as possible 1t should be air
slalSed, and in as fine condition as pos
sible 1t benefits both light and heav,
soils, and from twenty to forty bushels
per acre may be used.
LINsEED meal or cotton seed meal
added TO the rations, may supply dc
ficiency in the food. 1t is cheap an
may be safely used 1t is an ol'
maxim that all sums expended in lin
seed meal come back again in the
manure, and there is much truth in it.
THE Country Gentleman says an Al
bany county farmer placed on eac
bale Of hay shipped the information
that it was grown on gravclly loan an
was free from dust and chatf, wit
name and address, and for this got on
dollar and fifty cents above the marlSC
price.

east side should be cut back to keep
the top well balanced. 2. Train the
tree to a low head, so that the shade at
the top shall protect the trunk from
the direct rays Of the midday sun. 5.
Mulch or cultivate the ground abodt
the trees, so that their vigor shall not
be checked during the growing season.
Bark burning will seldom occur unless
there is some check in the flow of sap.
4. The cheapest and best artificial de-
vice to protect the trunk is common
plaster lath. or thin strips of board
about one and one-half inches wide, of
suitable length to reach from the
branches to the ground and woven to-
gether with wires so arranged (see
cut) that when placed about the tree
the ends may be used to fasten the
edges together. These may be removed
at any time for examination. For
branches exposed to the direct rays OF
the sun, wrapping with cloth or straw
paper bands is the best protection.
Besides, such bands make excellent in
sect traps.-J. S. Harris, in Farm and

Use Oil Meal Carefully.

Much is said nowadays urging the
use of oil meal on the stock farm. Its
advocates do not always figure the
large cost per COW as compared with
corn, oats, barley and rye, taking into
account the freightage and handling to
the farm. The extravagant use of it
on many farms tends to keep up its
price. Being the "shavings" of the
''oil mill" there is no need of its cost
ing so much. 1t is sometimes positive
damage, when triflc too much is used.
The farmer who understands the
proper feeding of corn, oats, bran, hay,
straw, etc, needs to use oil meal as an
emergency tonic when its cost is high.
To brood animals it should be given
only in urgent cases. Orange Judd

Cured by Cuticura

For about thirteen years have been troubled
with eczema or some other cutaneous disease
which all remedies failed to cure. Hearing OF
the CUTICURA REMEDIES, resolved to give them
a trial. ] followed the directions carefully, and
it affords me much pleasure to say that before
using two boxes of the CUTICURA, four cakes of
CUTICURA SOAP and one bottle of CUTICURA
REsoLvENT was entirely cured. In addition
to my own case, my baby boy, then about 5
months old, was suffering with what supposed
to be the same disease as mine, to such an ex-
tent that his head was coated over with a solid
scab, from which there was constant flow of
pus which was sickening to look upon. besides
two large tumor-ike kernels on the back of his
head. Thanks to your wonderful CUTICURA
REMEDIES. his scalp is perfectly WELL and the
kernels have been scattered so that there is
only one title place by his left ear, and that
is healing nicely Instead of coating of scabs
he has a fine coat of hail, much better than that
which was destroyed by the disease. / would
that the whole world of sufferers from skin and
blood diseases knew the value of your CUTIcURA
REMEDIES as do. They are worth ten times
the price at which they are sold. 1 have never
used any other toilet soap in my house since
bought the first cake of your CUTICURA Soar.
