CULTIVATION OF FLAX.
A Crop That Pays Well But Requires Con-
slant Care.

A Crop That Pays Well But Requires Com
slant Care.
To be successful in the cultivation of
fax good soil is needed, and it must
be well taken care Of. Flax was not
evidently intended as a premium on
laziness. A deep loan, more sandy than
clayey, seems to be the best, though if
you have not that kind of soil, any
other will do, provided it is rich and
not too wet. If lands are very wet by
nature, and you want to put fax on
them, do not fail to drain them. This
work should be undertaken in time
for the soil to dry out; this may mean
one or two years previous to putting
on the crop.
1t exhausts the land, and rotation is
desirable, returning the fax to the same
land, say once every five years. In
manuring, do not use fresh manure un-
less certain that it does not contain
weed and grass seeds.
There is an impression among fax
growers that the crop does particularly
well after wheat, provided the soil is
rich. Potatoes are used when the land
is poor, as the extra manure usually
applied to potatoes leaves the land. in
better condition for the following crop
of flax Corn is also good crop to pre-
cede flax, provided the corn be kept
clean, so no weeds will mature their
seeds to trouble the fax. Plow deep,
as fax is deep-rooted Above all things
make war on grass and weeds, as they
are particularly harmful to fields of
fax. Sow seed thick, to give finer
| plant, and, hence, less branches; that is,
| if you want fiber. If seeds be the OBJ
| ject, thin sowing will give fewer plants,
but more seeds.-Farmers' Review.

that this variety occupies the same
place among fowl that the shorthorn
does among cattle. The Dorldng
would be at disadvantage in Ameri-
ca owing to it's having white legs and
skin instead of the popular yellow
ones. The fowls are poor layers as
rule, though there are some excep-
tions. There are three varieties of
Dorl1ings- colored, the silver gray
and the white. The colored is the most
highly esteemed, because with equal
quality and beauty it has the largest
size. The breed is good for crossing
purposes. The mating of a Dorking
hen and Brahma cock gives hardy,
plump, compact and rapidly maturing
fowls.-N. Y. World.

MANAGEMENT OF TURKEYS.
The Practical Experience of a Woman
Who Has Tried 1t.

The Practical Experience of Woman
Who Has Tried 1t.
Writing on the management of tur-
keys a lady correspondent of the
Practical Farmer is very practical.
She says that unlimited range, where
they can do no injury to gardens, is
the road to success in the raising of
turkeys. Then, of whichever breed is
preferred, select vigorous stock. She
prefers the Mammoth Bronze or White
Holland to other varieties. Then have
them tame, so their eggs can be pro-
cured without having to hunt for their
nests, as in the latter case half of them
will never be found. About three hens
are as few and ten as many as it pays to
Keep with one gobbler. This is owing
to the time one can spend to look after
them and the kind and size of range
they have to ramble over with their
young. She prefers a wheat or oats
stubble opening out to prairies or hills.
Ply all means raise the young ones with
the turkey hens. An old chicken hen
with gang of turkeys peeping around
is q menace to the household. They
never grow half as large as those that
range with the turkey hens, and if
they grow at all they eat their heads off
twice over. She always sets chicken
hen when she sets the turkey hen, plac-
ing about eighteen eggs under the tur-
key and nine or ten under the chicken
lien. Then when all are Matched, she
gives all to the turkey hen. She will
then have fine brood large enough for
her to hover at night and during a
rain
Never pen turkey hens and their lit
tie ones, as is sometimes advised, but
look after them tenderly for the first
months of their lives, feed them light
bread and milk or hard-boiled eggs for
week, three times day, then twice d
day for the next week or two according
to the weather. Feed just corn bread
made with milk and eggs SO it will b.
light. Then feed them once a day
cheese curd, mashed potatoes, corn
bread, or most any thing they will eat,
just to keep them SO they will not grow
so wild, until they are six weeks old.
Then if they have been on a good range
they will be fully feathered out to
stand rain without shelter, except
what they naturally seek under trees,
and can take care of themselves until
time to sell them in fall Where there
are large wild animals, such as wolves,
foxes, ETC., it is question for persons
to settle in their own minds whether or
not it will pay to raise turkeys, consid-
ering the low prices that have prevailed
the last two years. This lady's expert
ence has proven to her that they are the
very hardest of poultry, despite all les
! sons to the contrary.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

IT is estimated that grain fed to suck
ling lambs designed for the butcher at
an early day pays at the rate of So a
bushel for corn anywhere in the eastern
and middle states.
MIX salt with the food of the grow
ing pig and give him box of ashes into
which little sulphur is thrown. This
prevents the loss of power in the hind
legs, SO common in highly-fed swine.
Is YOUR horse we'll shod, and does his
harness fit him? If not, put on pair
of boots one size too large or small, and
let down one suspender, and find out
for yourself how he feels, says a horse
man.
THIS season the corn harvester and
binder makes its introduction to. the
farmer 1t has been used experiment.
ally for several years, but now it has be-
come one of the essentials in corn har-
vesting.
IT is now affirmed that kerosene is
not sure agency for destroying lice,
but that if gill of crude carbolic acid
is added to each pint of kerosene before
the emulsion is made it will destroy all
forms of lice.
BARN manures are generally more
economically used when applied to
farm crops than when applied to or
chards, says an exchange, yet they can
be used with good results, particularly
when rejuvenating old orchards.

GRANARY AND CORN CRIB.

ting and injury from rats, which al
ways harbor under granaries that are
too near the ground. The height of
the corner posts should be from 10 to
IL feet, depending somewhat upon
whether it is desired to use the space
above the bins and driveway for stor-
ing implements, etc.
in order that the building may be
used for storing wheat and oats as we'll
as corn, it is sided as tightly as may be
with ordinary 12-inch siding. How
ever, the sides of the bins next to the
driveway instead of being made tight
are simply fixed for holding ear corn,
being sided with 4-inch strips nailed
on the outside of the studding. The
strips are placed several inches apart.
Several narrow doorways lead from
each bin to the driveway. 1t is best to
make these doors near the strong posts
which occur at intervals along the
driveway as shown in the illustration.
Let these doors extend to the floor of
the bin. Whenever it is desired to fill
the bins with small grain the 4-inch
stuff need not be taken off. Simply
make that side of each bin tight by
siding it with ship-lap, placing it on the
inside of the studding and mailing it
lightly Or one side of the driveway
can be made tight in the first place and
the other left for corn. There are tight
floors in the bins and also in the drive
way. The driveway is closed with
large double sliding doors. Good
strong bridges lead up to the doors
so that loaded wagon can be drawn
in without difficulty. The building is
rooted with shingles. By making a
few alterations in the foundation the
floor can be left out of the driveway;
but in all cases it has been found to well
repay the extra cost, as it furnishes
an excellent place for cleaning grain
or for drying damp or wet grain. Be

much grain which would otherwise
be wasted in unloading wagons. Such
