should be soEn ct once IN boxes II a

SOW seed il the summer IN the open
ground on rich soil, and pot the young
plants, picking of all the flower buds

winter and in time to have the flowers
when they are wanted. Then by
gathering the flowers as soon as they
are fully blown the plants will continue
to bloom long time. To force good
flowers the plants should be kept
watered with weak manure water. The
finest varieties are the Imperial Ger

SELECTING 4 COW.

The good points Of a good cow are
not her good looks. She may not be
and probably Is not very good-looking
except TO the eye of an experienced
dairyman. She certainly is not fat
while giving milk, and TO be really
good COW she should never be long
time enough between the times of milk
giving to fatten. She will most likely
have a large paunch, giving her some
what -bellied" look after she has
filed herself. Something cannot come
from nothing, and We never knew a
COW giving large messes of good milk
which WAS not a ravenous feeder.
Hence her digestion must be good.
She should have a broad chest, indicat-
ing large lungs. There is no good
digestion without good lung power.
She should be ''deep' from the back
down to the belly, but with thin and
rather fiat neck The skin Of most
good cows is of velyety texture, and
looks as if it had been groomed for
several generations, as in most breeds

product. With good material from

sPRATTNG APPLE ORCHARSD N " Il ScASO-'o-
The time for destroying the apple
worm IS Immediately after the petals
fall, and the spraying should be re-
peated once or twice after the apples
begin TO hang down. Experiments by
Z. G. Lodeman at the New York Cor
nell Station indicate that the first ap-
plication Of fungicides should be made
soon after the buds open and just be-
fore the flowers fall. Apple trees should
be so pruned that both the sunshine
and the spraying reaches every part.
The Bordeaux mixture reduces the In
jury done by the apple scab fungus
The addition OF Paris green to this
mixture gave better results than when
London purple was used. More spray
ing applications are required during
wet seasons than during dry ones.
The trees should be sprayed once 9
week during wet weather. The results
show that the application Of the com
bination OF the Bordeau mixture and
Paris green or London purple was
valuable and practicable for the treat
ment Of the apple scab fungus and the
apple worm even when over five inches
