Clipped and Condensed.

AN Ohio man thinks that the state
must abandon the factory system and
even the making of cheese. 1t is true
that good cheese and good butter can
not be made at the same factory.
If there is polluted stream running
through the farm, prevent the stock
from getting at it.. Running streams
have done good deal OF harm to live
stock. They are good, if not contain
mated. They are an evil, if they are
contaminated.
OF one thing we may be assured,
that as surely as failure awaits the man
who attempts TO harvest his grain with
a cradle, so surely does failure await
the man who feeds cattle that are no
better than those commonly used when
the cradle was the harvesting machine.
SOME farmers have curtailed the area
of land devoted to wheat, because of
the low prices that prevailed for last
years crops. A safe rule to follow is
to plant more corn and grow more
wheat than before, and it often hap
pens that high prices follow simply be-
cause less wheat is grown the next
year, owing to the reduction of area.
Now is the time that the farmer re.
grets that be did not eXpend few dol
lars at threshing time in securing a
iirst-class man to make the straw stack.
The poorly-made stack now covers half
of the barnyard, and much valuable
straw has already been wasted through
carelessness or ignorance in stacking.
PUMPKINS ought to be promptly re-
instated in the position they held in
the estimation of the old-time farmer.
They furnish an excellent addition TO
the food of swine and mich cows, and
can be grown at very little cost. Put
in field of them with the corn, if you
think it will not pay to grow them alone.

The Vegetable Garden.

A mistake frequently made by gar
deners OF little experience is not making
proper allowance for the inevitable set
thing of the manure. We want the soil
of hotbeds and cold frames pretty near
the glass in order to avoid drawn"
spindling plants No matter how care
fully and solidly the manure is packed
down, it will settle down several inches
afterward.
Another important precaution is to
pack the bed soil down firmly. Well
prepared hotbed soil is quite loose, and
far too loose for best results in plant
growing unless well packed down. An
inch or so of the surface can then be
mellowed and smoothed by means of a
fine steel rake, and the bed will then be
ready for the seed.
The amateur, in his limited operations,
can do many things which it would not
be profitable for the market gardener to
undertake on his larger scale. The for
mer does not miss the time it takes him
to cut and put in the few sticks needed
to 'brush" his little row of peas. 1t is
nice to have peas brushed They look
well. They do well. But when you
have peas by the acre or even half acre
you will prefer to rely ON dwarf sorts
and perhaps some manipulation in turn
ing from side to side with rake or fork
handle rather than on brushing In the
same way few rows of we'll trained to-
matoes can be made great attraction in
the home garden. 1t will not do to wait
until brush and stakes are needed before
we think of getting them. Apple tree
trimmings now furnish material for pea
brush. For tomato stakes we prefer
sawed lumber, says a writer in Ameri-
can Gardener, authority for the follow
ing:
Another convenience which the anna
teur is better able to have than the mar
ket gardener is a shady shed for his eel.
cry and strawberry beds. This may be
a simple affair, consisting of posts set
firmly into the ground in rows eight or
nine feet apart each way and at least
six feet above ground, with poles OF
scantlings across on top and laths OF
brush fastened over these to give
healthy mixture of light and shade.
Evergreen brush might be used to
good advantage for the covering, but
must be put on rather thinly to avoid
overshading. 1t seems to me that a shady
shed of this kind might we'll be found
among the equipments of every home
garden. Almost anything will do fol-
posts. If they have to be cut purposely
in the wood, would select, if possible,
sticks with a crotch or branch, thus pro-
viding natural rests for the cross poles
or scantlings. A dozen posts will be
enough for shed covering bed nearly

Blight has been the all powerful foe
which has so often snatched the well

we were sure of it. This year we shall
test the virtues of the shady shed, com
bined with subirrigation, in the hope
that the combination will prove pana.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That

As mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through

should never be used except on pre-

the damage they will do is tenfold to
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-

Agricultural Notes.

A Rural New Yorker correspondent
notes failure last season from plant
ing potatoes where they had been grown
the previous year, and although the
seed was sublimated the tubers We're
scabby.
Published accounts state that there
are so, 600 acres of land devoted to vine
yards in the western part of New York
that last season 8 crop was about s, 600
carloads of fruit-the largest yield on
record. Gathering the crop employs
20, 600 persons.
If you want to get rid of milkweed
and enrich soil at the same time, seed the
land to clover and pasture with sheep.
1t would be difficult to estimate the
great good which has been done
throughout the country by the practice
of holding institutes and farmers meet
ings.
A movement is on foot for CONSOLE

ment station and the experiment station

On the subject of lettuce rot in the
greenhouse, w. W. Rawson of Boston
says he considers the whole trouble Of
rot at the heart is caused by the dry
air in the house at the time that it oc-
ours. 1t is also common to see the rot
around the stem. This is due to the
plant being in that condition when set
out and is caused by the improper con-
ditions of the seed bed.

When Mr.. Munger ordered the
butcher to go on with the slaughter,
the man said "That's as sound cow
as ever 1 killed for market" The
heifer was knocked in the head, how
ever, and DIR. Rich confidently cut her
open. He exposed the lungs first, and
then, as if by instinct, put his scalpel
into lump about the size of hens
egg. When this was opened the in
terror was full of tubercles. Dr.. Wright
admitted that no poison injected into
the COW within forty-eight hours could
have caused such a growth as this.

was to go on killing until he made a

did not make any mistakes. Mr.. Mum

BY direction of Professor Rich the

burning seventy pounds of sulphur and
spraying the ceiling, walls and floors,
as well as all the fixtures, with an odor-
less disinfectant prescribed by him.
He had to leave in hurry to fill sim

he left he said tuberculosis was far
more prevalent and far more dangerous
than is generally supposed.
One-eighth of all the diseases in this
country are from tubercular troubles,
and he believes that these troubles origi-
nate from drinking the milk of dis

Treatment of Old Meadows.

In an exhaustive essay on the hay
crop of New England, Mr.. Warren
Brown of New Hampshire made the
following statements at Boston farm
ers' club, which are here reproduced
from the Massachusetts, Ploughman' 8
report:
An old sod which has not been bro
ken for many years will be found to
contain a great many kinds of grasses
the names of which are not familiar to
the ordinary farmer. But field of this
kind would, if properly treated yield
crop OF greater feeding value than one
which was confined to one or two va
rleties. The English farmer values
sod of this kind very highly and dis
likes very much to have it broken.
Many, when field shows signs of fail
ure and of decreasing crops, pillow, ma
nure and reseed, while others resort to
top dressing of some sort, and in this way
avoid the labor of blowing, smoothing,
removing distractions and reseeding.
The work of top dressing should be
carefully and syste4 atically done. To
40 TINS IN the best manner requires much
more care and attention than are usually
bestowed upon it. If yard manure is
to be used for the purpose, it should be
made fine before using. Then with
manure sp1eader it may be evenly dis
trlbuted over the entire surface, which
is important if the best results are ex-
pected. After the manure has been
spread it should be well worked among
the grass roots by going over the sur
face with slant to the harrow. The
value of the top dressing will be found
much greater if this is done, as the ma
nure is thus put in position to do the
most good.
Where the land has been top dressed
for number of years in succession and
the crop has been cut early, some seed
OF the English grasses should be sown
every year, as the cultivated grasses are
in danger Of disappearing, and they will
be succeeded by those of less desira-
BILE character. Where the work of ton
dressing is done in the way and manner
described it will usually be found sat
isfactory. Top dressing, to pay, should
never be attempted except upon land
which contains plenty of roots and a
good sod. Unless this is the case the
land should be plowed and reseeded.
Very dry lands are little benefited by
top dressing. Some of the concentrated
top dressings sold in the market pro-
duce remarkable results when the con-
ditions are favorable.
After our field has been established
it should receive careful attention to
keep it in the best condition. 1t should
be gone over carefully each year and all
weeds and undesirable growtiuemoved.
1t is better not to allow animals to feed
in fields devoted to grass, as the surface
is often damaged by tramping, and the
coarse grasses, which it is desirable to
get rid of, are left, while others are
eaten close and are injured thereby. 1t
is better to run the moving machine
over the surface, removing the growth
which is too rank to remain and feed
ing it at the barn, while the lighter
portions are allowed to remain on the
ground and are not in the way Of the
succeeding crop.
