A Word to Letter Writers,

Always save your correspondents let
tiers, says a letter writer of long expert
ence, at least till you have answered
and reply to any questions that may have
been asked, for that is only another form
Of being personal, and personalities Away:
please. You see, in writing a successful
.etter, instead of saying what you want to
say, you must say what your correspond
snt wants you to say, though, of course
after you have been personal as long al
need be, you may add variety by talking
.bout yourself, but don't be dull or stiltet
bout it, don't describe a sunset to /,
person who never looked at the sun or g
nto long criticism of some book to al
Individual who never reads. Be gossipy
De light, and, above all, be natural. Why
know pair of painfully discreet sister
Who, when they arc together, exchange
opinions of all sorts as freely as any TIVE
# like relationship, but whose stiff, colo
conversations by mail you would never
.ecognize as emanating from the SAINT
persons, SO fearful are they that something
will get down in black and white that
they might regret if the world got hold o.
t. For my part, l would prefer to rur
he risk of the world getting hold OF it tt
;acrificing all that pleasant, chatty coin
,anionshp. To be separated from yo IL
friends is bad enough without having tho
additional wee put upon you of an unnat
lral manner growing up between you ano

Exchanging Straw For Manure,

1t is hard to get it out of the heads
Of some farmers that straw has better
uses than to be rotted down merely for
It's manurial value. They use it liberal
" as bedding, so as to save more of the
liquid excrement which will otherwise
be wasted. But after all has been used
in this way that is possible those who
grow grain have large stacks that they
10 not know what to do with. They can
safely sell it. if for every load taken
away they buy load of manure. The
manure may cost 81 load, while the
rtraw ought TO sell for So to SIS or $40,
.ccording to size of lead and quality of
he straw. Yet in every case the load of
manure has more of plant food than has
he more bulky straw. 1t is not uncom,
non for farmers in some places to fur
lish straw for bedding to those keep
ing horses OF cows in neighboring viii
ages Il is very good plan where the
istance for hauling both ways is not
90 great. There are always some horse
:ept in village hotels, and it is wort.
While for farmers to make arrangements
or exchanging straw for their bedding
or the manuro pile that they will pro-
luce, according to American Cultivation.

Spraying Potatoes.

The bordeaux mixture is recon.
mended by L. R. Jones Of the Vermont
station for both the early and the late
blight. Several fungicides were tested,
but the bordeaux mixture give best re-
Suits Among the most interesting re-
suits were gains where soap was added
to the fungicide. In the authors opin-
ion, the difference may be attributed
largely to the effect of the soap upon the
flea beetles rather than to its increased
fungicidal action. Numerous leaves
were taken at random and carefully
counted, and those to which the soap
had been applied showed a great re-
ductlon In the number of punctures by
this insect.
The time and rate of growth of po-
tato tubers, and hence the effect of the
premature death of potato tops upon the
yield, was investigated, and it was
shown that the yield of marketable tu-
bers increased with the different dates
of digging until Oct 1. The rows used
in this test had been thoroughly sprayed
with bordeaux mixture, and the plants
remained green until the end of Sep
TENDER Harvestings were made, begin
ming Aug. 2 and continued every ten
days until Sept. %. The yield Aug. 2
was at the rate of So bushels per acre,
the tubers averaging 1.6 ounces The
yield at the last digging, Sept %, was
379 bushels per acre, the tubers averag-
ing ST. ounces, showing the Importance
of preventing the early destruction of
the vines.

Here and There.

The bulk of the tobacco crop of the
Connecticut valley was harvested much
earlier than usual this season.
Best estimates place tho sweet corr
pack at 375, 600 cases, or 9, 900, 900 cans,
against Ia, 600, 900 cans in 1898 and 49,,
600, 900 in 1892.
Sweet corn, which is special Maine
agricul tural product, has been favored
with good weather conditions this sea
son, and while the acreage was much
less than for several years past the final
results arc satisfactory.
1t is told on good authority that in
New York city alone more than 81, 000,-
900 are invested in cold storage.
An eminent New Yorker declares,
Experiments have proved that ten
acres of irrigated land will produce as
much as 80 acres here, where we rely
upon the rainfall.
Many New England farmers as well
as fruitgrowers will take advantage OF
the excursion in special cars to Califor

Glastonbury, Conn, will furnish infor-
nation as to to cost, route, etc.
The Connecticut agricultural college
at Storrs has over 100 students, with an
incoming class of over 80.
The consumers of dried fruits owe to
Professor Hillgord debt of gratitude
for his efforts to restrict the practice Of
sulphuring fruits.
Although sweet potatoes occupied the
usual area, the crop is reported to be
yearly 10 per cent below the average.

THE DAIRY.
s. Clark,

Kindness and confidence between the
owner and the COWS saves food and
makes profit.
The churn should not be filed nearly
full of cream. If it is, butter will not
come quickly.
The cellar in which milk is set must
not smell musty. The air must be
pure or the milk will he spoiled.
1t is just as necessary now as in sum-
mer to scald the dairy utensils and
then wash them with cold water.
It is claimed by some that adding
old cream to cream that is not sum-
GENTLY ripened will make the butter
oily,
Butter must please the eye. Speak
ing for ourselves, and we are like other
people, we would not buy white butter.
Butter that is in a granulated state
should be washed until the liquid that
comes from it is clear Of all milky
color.
If butter is colored too deeply it
looks nasty. We believe in coloring
butter because the consumer wants it
yellow. But too much butter is bad.
Do not apply salt to butter carelessly.
Weigh the butter and then add salt at
the rate of three-quarters of an ounce
or an ounce to the pound and work it
in thoroughly.
An officer of the Missouri State
Dairy Association has propounded
q large number of questions
for dairymen to answer. It re
minds us OF our public school system
in Chicago, under which the teacher is
paid to teach, but instead of doing it,
asks the scholar questions which he
takes home for the parents to answer.
This officer should give instructions
and not ask questions. Perhaps he is
not able to answer his own questions.
The American CultiUatOr hits the
nail on the head when it says that
when it takes more time and trouble
to sell butter than it does to make it
there is evidently something wrong in
the management. 1t may be in the
animal, the food or water, the stable
arrangements, the manner in which
the milk or cream is handled, or the
condition in which it is put up and sent
to market. Usually the man of the
place is responsible for all but one Of
these points.-FGrmer's Voice.
