Tools that are used to work In the

many stones Or IL the soil has much
grit in it. For this reason they
should be ground daily when used. A
few minutes at the grindstone, put

makes the work easier all the day.
Cultivator teeth should also be kept
sharp. The cultivator works more
easily, and besides they VII not
slide over weeds and thus leave them
uncut until it is nearly impossible to
keep the field clean.

Fruit and Poultry.

A poultry grower says that the
fruit grower can combine fruit grow
ing and poultry raising without oc.
cupying more land than would be re-
quired for one pursuit. and the re-
suits from the orchard and from the
hens would be more satisfactory.

Of the trees, and placing their drink

Sowing Glover Seed.

Upon farming land thai is culti-
waited by crop ro alton, clover should
be sown IL it Is practicable to do so.
For enriching the soil red clover Is
no doubt one OF the best leguminous
plants, as it grows rank and sends its
roots down deep into the soil How
ever, where permanent pasture or
meadow Is desired, timothy should
be sown with clover at the rate Of
four quarts Of timothy to five or six
quarts OF clover. The FIRST year the
clover will be prominent the next
year less clover, and the third season
wholly timothy For the benefit Of
the soil the next season after seed
ing, wholly with clover. II the me-
dunn red variety, 1t should be cut in
June or early In July for hay, and
later for seed. This double cropping
sends the roots deeper in the soil,
which is just what is wanted, and Is
found to be more beneficial than
simply close pasturing. Alsike does
well, makes good hay, but does not
enrich the soil like red clover. AL
falfa will be the best for dry climates.

Setting Fence Posts.


Posts that are tn be placed In a
clay soil which is liable TO heave by
the action of frost, will retain their
original position longer IL they are
set In dug holes instead of being
driven. Unless all the sharpened
portion is placed below the action OF
the frost, and even then, IL at the
time Of freezing the soil is soaked
with water, the action OF frost Is
liable to raise the post upward. How
ever, as soon as the frost leaves the
soil few blows on top OF the post
with a heavy maui will return 1t to
its original depth, which could not
be so easily done il the post was
square at the bottom, as earth would
fall In the cavity. On most soils
sharT ened posts are best. and when
OF durable material like cedar. oak,
cr chestnut. and where the fencing
material is wire, a post four inches
in diameter will last as long and be
just as serviceable as one six or more
inches inSd.ameter, and tho cost Is
