KEEP THEM RUNNING,

An observing farmer, while in con-
versation with the editor at recent
poultry show, remarked that it was
due to the efforts of his ten-year- old
son that the egg basket was kept heap
ing full by his chickens last summer
and all fall. ''The little fellow" re-
marked the farmer, ''always paid
great attention to everything he
could read or hear about the keeping
of chickens, and one of the things
which impressed him strongly was the
oft-repeated injunction to keep the
hens at work if you want eggs. Well,
the boy had charge of feeding the
chickens, and he would get heaping
measure of grain and go down to the
barnyard and call his pets. They
would come on the run from all di-
rections, and then the fun began. The
lad would throw couple of handfuls
OF grain first in one direction and
then another, scattering it over q
space fully fifty feet square, and much
of it into the grass. The way the hens
would sail around after the grain
would remind you of small riot, and
after they got through feeding the
barnyard would look as if some one
had been over it with small plow.
We had plenty of eggs to use and sell,
even through moulting time The
boy has since rugged up a henery in
one corner of the barn and keeps his
hens hustling about in hay, chaff and
clover up to the knees hunting for
their grain, and we get more eggs
than any three neighbors combined. {"

The Annie as q Timber Tree.

In some sections of this country the
apple tree is looked on for its product
as n piece Of timber as we'll as fruit.
producing article. For this reason
the old German fruit growers in the
vicinity of Philadelphia always aimed
20 get n nice straight trunk to an ap.
pie tree, and train it up comparative.
ly high before allowing it to form a
head. Moderns have supposed that
the chief object to be gained by this
method of training was in order TO fa-
cilitate plowing operations, but the
ultimate end in having good trunk
for timber purposes was not forgotten.
In this particular region the wood was
used chiefly for shoemakers lasts-a
business which, in the earlier history
of Philadelphia, did much to help the
trade of that famous manufacturing
centre of population. The apple re-
gions have mostly disappeared from
that vicinity; but other sections of
the country seem to understand the
value of apple,tree wood. IL is stated
in the Country Gentleman that fruit
grower of Cayuga sold TO n well-known
firm of saw-makers of Philadelphia
Disston & Sons-the trunks of some
of their trees, which wero cut away
because the trees had grown too
closely together, to the value of $500.
In this case the wood was, of course,
used for the handles of saws. Boston

IMPROVING PASTURES.

Now there are just two important
points to this matter-frst, to make
more grass grow, and, secondly, not
to eat it all up-that is, leave all the
roots OF the grass and little of the
top on the ground when you take the
stock off the pasture. To accomplish
the first point have never tried any
method that pleased me better than
sowing buckwheat and seeding down
at the same.
have to-day July 81 just sowed
about eight acres with buckwheat and
seeded same with timothy and clover
so you see l practice my own teach
ing. My ground was plowed in the
fall and again in spring after corn
planting, and by repeated harrowings
was kept mellow and free from weeds,
and is now, in spite of the severe
drought, moist, and in good condition
to make seed grow.
The grass seed sowed at this time of
year must be covered to make a sue
cess. l SOW buckwheat and harrow
once, and then SOW grass seed and har e
row again. l have always got a good
catch of grass in this way.
If soil is very poor, it would be best
TO use a little manure, but it needs
only as thin a coat as can be spread
on the ground. But if soil is moder-
ately fertile, the thorough tillage of
this system will make a success with.
out any manure.
Some will raise an objection to my
choice of grass, and l would say TO
such that l only let any of my pasture
ground that can be plowed lie il
grass two or three years. -Cultivatol

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Blue in all shades is popular just
now.
Watch for vermin and rout it at the
first approach.
See that the fowls and chicks have
a constant supply of water these days.
Keep ahead of the weeds IN the
onion beds by free use of the wheel
hoe.
So far this season we have had re.
markably good success with our young
chicks.
Keep the hen houses clean and sweet.
Fresh earth bountifully spread under
the roosts is wonderful help towards
the latter.
Try a tablespoonful of nitrate soda
to each cabbage plant, scattering it
well around.
Sharp teeth win cause the horse to
form the habit of letting its tongue
hang out of its mouth. Look out for
them.
Do the flies bother the colts very
much? Better keep them in during
the day and put them out in the pas
ture at night.
Vaccination of the calves against
'blackleg" and of the older cattle
| against anthrax is now advocated in
some quarters.
Feed the little chicks what they will
eat up clean. Do it as often as they
will do their part-three, five or even
seven times day.
II farmers would keep brood mare
or two and raise a choice colt each
year there would be more money in
farming for them.
1t is claimed by one who has tried
it that the application of hot linseed
oil will tighten up the loose felloes OF
a wagon and keep them tight.
Examine the feet of the horses
often. If the shoes are inside the rim
of the foot, take that horse to the
shop at once or you will have corn.
The shipping of pregnant animals
to the stock yards is not profitable. 1t
is unlawful, and the sooner farmers
guard against it, the better for their
purses.
With the good price of beef and
hides it would seem good policy for
the farmer to buy his harness soon
before the inevitable high price of
leather arrives.
L. R. Jones, of the Verm ont Sta.
tion, advises the hot water method of
treating oat seed, not only for the i'm
mediate benefit, but for the eradica.
tion of smut from future crops.
Give the work horses a run in the
pasture at night. 1t will do them a
great deal of good, but you must feed
them just the same. If you expect
them TO work don't take the grain
away from them.
Brood sows properly managed de-
termine the profit in the herd of
swine. One-third should be over
thirty months of age, one-third over
twenty months, aud the remainder
over ten months of age to insure fair
success.
Chancellor Snow, of the Kansas
State University, is sending out in
fected chinch bugs to such farmers as
ask tor them, hoping in this way to
suppress the chinch bug ravages which
SO seriously threaten the wheat crop in
Eastern Kansas.
Clean the feet out thoroughly with
foot-hook every day when the horses
come in from work. Then when the
horse is cool put the feet in a pail of
water and wash them. 1t will only
take few minutes and will keep the
feet in good condition.
The best time to cut any grass for
hay is just when the seed is about to
form. Cutting should never be de.
ferred until the seeds are dry, as the
plant is in the best condition foI
i stock when in the milky stage, the
nutritious matter being then arrested
in the stalks.

PLANTING APPLE ORCHARDS.

An agricultural contemporary finds
fault because a large proportion of the
apple orchards planted either die out
or never yiel6 any profit to their own
ers. This is no doubt true, but if all
the trees planted lived and had good
care the market would be gluited with
fruit all the time and every season,
and no grower could make a profit
upon his investments. 1t is much bet
ter RS it is, for now the Industrious,
intelligent fruit grower has chance
of securing something for his labor,
because his competitors are so few
and scattering. When all mankind
becomes equally intelligent and in
dustrious there will be much less in
ceDtiye to labor than at the present
time. New York Sun.

Baseball by Electricity.

Baseball by electricity received n
practical test at Palmer's Theatre yes
terday md was at once branded a sue
cess. The stage is fitted up as ball
ground. The players are small figures
stationed in their respective positions
The catcher stands behind the plate
and plays 'back" or "off the bat lust
as tho circumstances denote. He
moves on n sort of wheel. The pitch
er stands IN the box. The umpire
stands behind the batter and gesticu-
lates with great emphasis. On the
line are tho "coachers. who wave
their hands in q delirium of baseball
frenzy. The umpire automatically
raises his hand. The batter, as if CON
iured from the depths, slowly emerges
from trapdoor at home plate and
takes position. A globe in the pitch
er's hand, denoting the ball, suddenly
flashes and the ball is in play. It goes
out, and then blazes in the pitchers
hand. Thus "ball or ''strike" is
noted. When the ball is knocked out,
an electric lamp above the field de-
notes which direction it goes, and an
other flash on the ground denotes
where it struck. Repeated flashes de.
note every move of the ball until it
again reaches the pitchers hand. The
batter, when the ball is hit, scurries
of for the first bag. If he is out he
drops through trap door. If not, he
continues around the circuit until he
reaches home or is put out. Every
play is called. A green flash denotes
n foul.
The way the figures run. slide,
emerge from and drop through the
trSpdoors is extremely interesting. -

THE BEST THREE-F1ELD ROTATION,

The proper rotation of crops is
necessity, mentions W. Nj. King. The
seed producing ones should be alter
mated with the nitrogen gathering
ones. Rotation is valuable in aiding
in the destruction of noxious weeds,
but must be varied to be effective.
For instance, two years or more of
corn or other hoed crops will be found
TO be necessary for the destruction of
the wild morning glory or bindweed.
Insect enemies are also frequently de-
stroyed by rotation that interferes
with their natural habits. The same

And lifted her voice up TO heaven In prayer
For relief from the cross which she bore.

And rose TO obey his request.

But strive though she would her emotions TO
