FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Clean up the garden and SOW tur-
nips.
To grow fine strawberries keep off
the runners.
Many colt is ruined by an impa-
tient driver.
Soil and location will change the APP
pearance of fruit.
Radishes for winter may be sown in
the late summer.
1t has been proved many times over
that speed follows blood lines.
An unsound stallion is menace to
the breed to which he belongs.
No poor man can afford to buy a
poor horse, and no rich man will.
Put on your best nature and your
most gentle manner when doing the
milking.
Turn the work horses out into lot
on hot nights rather than confine in
hot stalls.
Whenever water is given to plants
enough should be used to wet the soil
thoroughly.
If seed are gathered, care should be
taken to dry them thoroughly before
storing away.
Don't run COWS during hot weather.
Let them go to and from the pasture
at their own gait.
Horses have dispositions like men.
Some are good, but more are spoiled
in the bringing up.
Sheet zinc cut into wedge-shaped
strips make the best and most con-
venient labels for fruit trees.
The cleaner and neater the fruit, the
quicker they will catch the eye of the
buyer and the reader the sale.
With all kinds of fruit trees it is
better to have one strong limb or
branch than several weak ones.
1t is generally admitted to be easier
to change the pacing gait to the trot-
ting than the trotting to the pacing.
Cultivation of all young trees, at
least for some years after planting out,
is essential to their vigorous growth.
1t costs but little to make start
with grapes. They come into bearing
early and are productive and easily
managed.
Do not wait till the oil is all gone
from the jug, then stop the mower
half day while you ''go to town" to
have it filed
1t is better to remove, with rub of
the hand, sprouts and suckers while
young and tender than to wait till
knife or saw is needed.
A few carriage bolts costing few
cents may save trip to town in the
midst of haying. Have some ofvarious
sizes and lengths in the tool box.
Green stuff from the garden or or
chard that cannot be fed to the pigs or
cows to advantage should be gathered
up and added to the compost heap.
Several Western agricultural socie-
ties have set apart liberal sums rs pre-
miums for the best exhibits at the
fairs by farmers boys. This is step
in the right direction.

CHARCOAL FOR FOWLS.

We have found charcoal very ex-
cellent thing to furnish our poultry
with. 1t may be given in powdered
state, mixed with the soft meal feed,
and little pulverized sulphur at the
same time may be added with advan-
tage. But the very best way to sup
ply this is to burn an ear or two of
corn upon the cob), charring it to
blackness and throwing it before them.
They will devour every kernel, and
SO supply themselves with grateful
and healthy substance that sweetens
the crop, and serves as an admirable
tonic to the stomach.
At this season of the year the above
recommendation will be found valu-
able hint to poultrymen. Hens about
ready TO lay will devour this prepared
charcoal eagerly, and the increased
freshness and redness of their combs
afterward evince the efficacy of this
allowance For a month or six weeks
in the early breeding season nothing
is better than this for laying hens
given them daily Poultry World.

RYE IN THE CORNFIELD.

There is one plan that, if generally
adopted by the dairymen, would add
measurably to the pasturage of the
farm and at the same time be benefit
to the soil itself, and this is the prac
tice of sowing rye in the corntield
either at the last working or as soon
as the corn is cut up. In the spring,
long before the pastures are ''fit' for
turning the stock upon them, the rye
field is wealth of fine feed and excel
lent. By this plan there is no winter
washing of the land, which is, as a rule,
equal i'll exhaustion to growing crop,
and by the middle of May this rye sod
can be turned under for corn and is
next to clover sod in value. For sew
eral years the writer has as nearly as
possible carried out this plan and finds
that, with what manure and clover sod
comes in in rotation, his fields are get
ting better all the time. Two ways
present themselves to put in the rye
sowing broadcast and cultivating in
with light cultivator, setting teeth as
shallow as good work will allow, so as
to disturb the corn roots as little as
possible; and the other is to cut up the
corn, having the shocks regular, and
then sowing one and a-half bushels of
rye on broadcast and narrowing it in
with harrow or disc, the looscning
up of the ground covering the seed eff
fectually without plowing. There is
nothing equal to keeping the land at
work, filling the soil with mass of
roots to decay and furnish food for the
following crop, and if it can be done
between crops, as this plan with rye
offers, n great gain has been made not
only in the supplying of food to the
stock, but feeding the land as well. l.

growers are looking about for some
explanation of the spread of this trou-
BILE. In almost all cases new va
riety "runs out" as it is called, and
chiefly through the operation of this
disease. New varieties are continu-
ally being introduced--not because
they are much better than the va
rieties that have preceded them
but on account of the older varieties
going back; in fact, no one will con-
tend that the strawberries of to-day,
as rule, are even as good as they
were in former times. 1t is thought
that the old method of cultivation,
which moderns have laughed at, might
not have been such bad practice after
all. The practice was to grow the
strawberries in beds; as soon as the
crop was gathered the leaves were
mown off with the scythe and burnt,
and new crop of leaves came up be-
fore winter. With the progress of
vegetable physiology this was thought
to be very bad practice. The argu-
mert was that leaves make food, and
the more leaves the better. This
would be true if the leaves were
healthy leaves but diseased leaves are
worse than no leaves at all. No one
ever thought of the strawberry spot in
those days; in fact specimen of this
disease was rarely seen. 1t is now be-
lieved that the practice Of moving and
burning the leaves was advantageous
in this, that it destoyed all attempts
of this fungus to propagate itself and
was therefore beneficial rather than
otherwise 1t is an illustration of
point fequently made that though our
forefathers were not ableito philoso
phize on their garden practices as
closely rs we may, they were able to
find out great deal from nothing at
all but practical experience. One thing
our strawberry amateurs might do,
which is not done now, and that is to
cut off during the season and burn
every leaf which shows a spot rs soon
as it is observed. This probably would
preserve their favorite varieties from
degenerating. Meehan's Monthly.

REST RESULTS FROM TOMATOES.

When pruned and staked tomato
plants will bear much closer planting
in the field than if left to themselves.
Two feet by four is about the proper
distance. AS soon as set in the field
the plants ought to be tied. Set strong
stakes at each end of every row and
brace carefully. Smaller stakes may
be set at intervals of two rods along
the rows. These stakes should be
about three and half feet high. Next
stretch two wires of about the size
used i'll baling hay along the tops
of the stakes in each row. Take
ordinary laths or small sticks of any
kind, of the same length as lath and
stick one just at the side of the place
that each plant is to occupy. The
upper ends of the stakes are held in
place by weaving the wires around
the tops of the stakes or laths. This
makes neat and substantial trellis.
The plants are trained to single stems
and tied to lath supports.
OF course, tying must be done at
successive intervals as the plants in
Cttuf'S III liClShb uhlii thS toP VI
trellis is reached, after which nothing
further need be done in the way of
training. All side roots near the ground
and suckers must be pinched of, as
the object to be gained in stalking
would be lost otherwise. None of the
blossoms are to be removed, hut
simply the leafy shoots and suckers,
which bear no blossoms and come ont
near the ground and st intervals along
the main stock: Pruning away these
surplus shoots and tying the plants TO
supports exposes the fruit to the sun
light and fevors early development to
marked degree. Tomatoes thus
trained riper about two weeks in adj
vance of those which are allowed to lie
on the ground, are freer from root and
larger. The crop per plant is less
than 10y the ordinary method, but be-
cause Of the higher prices obtained Tor
the fruit tho profits are larger. New

CARE OF THE COTS FOOT.

If a colt shows n tendency to walk
on the heel or frog, rasp the sole
towards the toe to take away the
thickness. If the foot is worn at the
toe and the heels have become too
high, they should be lowered with the
rasp. When the edges or rim of the
hoof has grown leaving the frog and
center hollow, the edges should be
rasped. The more frequently the foot
is put in proper shape the more likely
it is to grow into that shape. New
