Protection for Small Fruits.

In dry climates it is advisable to
cover. the small fruits wherever posi-
BILE, to save them from the evapora-
tion that Is going on even during the
coolest winter weather. Strawberries
are easily protected after the ground
is frozen sufficiently to bear the
weight of a wagon. by throwing over
the bed covering OF prairie hay or
straw, not more than two or three
inches thick. : II too much lis put on
che plants will be more harmed than
benefited. The covering should he
left on until the leaves begin to peep
through In the spring-by this means
growth is retarded and danger to the
blossoms from late frost is avoided.
Raspberries may be bent to the ground
over small mound OF earth made at
the base of the plant for the purpose,
and covered with few inches OF soil
Gust enough to hide the canes) and
this Is the safer way, or they may be
heavily mulched with straw or coarse
litter from the stables The mulch
should be thrown loosely among the
plants and between the rows-so as
to seemingly cover the canes. BY
spring the mulch will have settled a
great deal. Currants and gooseber-
ries are benefited by such a mulch,
especially IL coarse manure is used,
for most of its nutrltive elements
will be taken into the soil, and thus
a double purpose will be served.
Grapes should be covered with earth.

General Farm Notes.

BREEDERS of stock often make the
mistake Of breeding their stock too
young.
STORE root crops where the tenn
perature will be low and as even as
possible.
The cleaner the stables are kept
the less bedding will be required for
the stock.
FENCES should be of character to
suit the purposes for which they are
intended.
WITH good care a farmer can al
ways breed better beast for himself
than he can buy.
THE first bad storm is more dam
aging to stock, If they are exposed to
1T, than any other.
LIBERAL and abundant feeding is
the most economical and is a saving
OF time in fattening.
YOUNG animals of all kinds are
verv sensitive of the treatment they
receive while growing.
DURING the fall and winter it is
usually best to keep at least one
team on the farm we'll shod.
The productive capacity of land
should determine its real value rath-
er than the price asked for it.
If you want to make the best and
largest horses out OF your colts, keep
them growing from first to last.
In the fall and winter is the time
to commence feeding so as to econo-
mize feed TO the best advantage.
BE prepared to take care of the
corn as fast as it is fully ready. After
1t is fully matured it goes to waste.
EVERY farmer who keeps any con-
siderable number of stock should
have and study good doctor lbook!n-
PLowING little deeper in the fan
the new soil gets the benefit of the
actions of the elements during the
winter.

rhe Trailing OF Cattle TO the Markets
which IL Now No More.
The building of RAILROADS, from
Texas up through New Mexico and
Colorado and the Indian territory ia
Dodge City has effectually done away
with the trailing OF cattle to the
markets, which formed one OF the
most remarkable features Of early
Western life. The trail, thousands
Of miles long and AZ feet, wide, was
thronged with herds numbering from
300 TO. 5000 head from early spring
till late fall. "In the morning" says
Richard Harding Davis, In Harper's
Weekly, "the camp wagon pushed on
ahead to suitable resting place for
the night, and when the herd ar
rived later, moving, on an average,
fifteen miles day and grazing as IL
went, the men would find the supper
ready and the tents pitched. And
then those, who were to watch that
night would circle slowly around the
great army OF cattle, driving them
In closer and closer together and
singing as they rode to put them to
sleep. This seems an absurdity to
the Eastern mind, but the sound Of
something familiar quoted and salts
fed these great, stupid animals that
can be soothed like a child with a
nursery ryhme and when frightened
could not be stopped by river. The
boys rode slowly and patiently until
one. and then another OF the herd
would stumble clumsily to the ground
and others near would follow, and at
last the whole great herd would lie
silent and immovable in, sleep. But
the watchfulness of the sentries
could never relax. Some chance
notes.-the shaking of saddle, some
cry of wild animal, or the scent of
distant water carried by chance
breeze across the prairie, or nothing
but sheer blind wantonness-wo would
start one of the sleeping mass to his
feet with snort, and in an instant
the whole great herd would go tear
ing madly over the prairie, tossing
their horns and believing and filled
with a wild, upreasoning terror. And
then the Skill and daring of the cow
boy were put to the severest test as
he saw his master's income disappear
ing towards canyon or ariver, or to
lose itself in the brush. And the
cowboy who tried to head Off and
drive back this, galloping army of
frantic animals had to ride race
that meant his life if his horse made
a misstep; and as the horses feet
often did slip, there would be found
in the morning somewhere in the
trail of the stampeded cattle horri-
BILE mass of blood and flesh and leath-
er.
do you wonder, then, that after
this half year OF, weary, restless rid
ing by day and sleepless anxiety and
under the stars by night,
when the lights of Dodge City showed
across the prairie, the cowboy kicked
his feet out OF his stirrups, drove
the blood out of his pony's sides and
came into town with both guns go
ing at once, and yelling as though
the pent-up speech Of his past six
months of loneliness was striving for
proper utterance?"

Keep Farm Accounts.

The almanac style of farm accounts
should be out of date and ] do not
favor the cheap account books adver-
tised. More money expended in three
or four books to last for years is bet
ter economy. Each farm should have
book for inventors, which should
be posted up each year and should
show the amount invested in land,
buildings, stock and tools and cash
journal OF all sums received and Laid
out. The debit and credit columns can
both be on the same page and this
will render the cash accounts very
simple. This cash book should be
balanced monthly, and it is good
study TO compare the balance OF one
month with that of another. An
other book should be one in which
to write the sales of all produce,

bought at little cost and will save
