Look TO the seeds.

Prof. Galloway says of the IN
fluence of size and weight of seed
on the growth of the plant: The
large seed terminates more quick
ly, with more certainty and pro-
duces marketable plants sooner
than the small, while the more
uniform growth gives larger crop
to be brought in together, thus
practically clearing the land at
once. With large and small seed
sown together and maturing at diff
ferent times, either the use of por-
ton of the land must be lost while
waiting for portion of the crop to
become matured or that part of the
crop must be sacrificed. By using
large, selected seed IS to 80 pei
cent. of the crop can be brought in
together. When it is desirable that
crops should mature in order, it is
better to have succession of SOW
ings, using selected seeds for each
It is waste Of time and material to
use other than the best of seeds.

Iron Filings for the soil.

Northern fruit growers know that
the color of fruit is largely depend
ent on the amount of available pot
ash which the soil contains. This
with sunlight aids in the develop
ment of both color and fine flavor.
A California orange grower, Mr. G.
w. Prescott, has found that iron
heightened the color Of his product
and made it more salable. His
oranges were originally very pale,
but by using 5 pounds of iron fl
ings around his trees the color has
been changed to dark yellow,
with increased quality of fruit. So
much iron filings probably made
the soil more open and porous. II
the iron has served as plant food a
small quantity would have been
sufficient.

A Northern Apple.

Among the varieties of apples
which will flourish in the North
west the Hibernal is strongly recon-
mended by the Superintendent OF
one of the stations in Minnesota.
The trees are robust and in good
condition after having been set
eight years; the fruit is large and
ripens we'll together on the tree; it
is equal to the Oldenburg for all
culinary purposes, and in the proper
season is relished as desert apple.
The tree also has a great value as
stock to be top-worked with more
tender varieties, as it makes a
smooth union with many kinds and
is inclined to push them into early
bearing,

Grated and Budded Fruits.

The principal reason why grated
or budded fruit is usually better than
common, is that no one who under
stands his business will spend time
multiplying inferior fruit when the
same time and labor properly di-
rected will do SO much to improve
it. The scions or buds, if they grow,
will develop their own leaves, bark,
wood, blossoms, and fruit, and these
are identical with the original tree
from which the bud is taken. The
great value of grating and budding
is that when choice fruit is OBJ
tanned it may be continued in all of
it's excellence, precisely as it is and
multiplied as largely as may be de-
sired. The stock simply maintains
connection with the fructifying
earth and supplies the vitalizing
sap. The scion producing the de-
licious fruit is generally many re-
moves from the wild state, but the
stock is usually the better for being
the reverse, rough and strong,
spreading its roots far and wide and
gathering the sustenance which is
its sole business to collect and trans
nit to the all-controlling graft.
Grating can be done during the
winter or early spring, while the
tree is dormant. Budding is done
during the latter part of summer or
early fall. Either is rapid and
economical way of increasing de-
sirable varieties of fruit.

No I've Farms Alike.

1t is not always advisable to
adopt the systems pursued by a
neighbor, as there is a wide differ
ence in soils, and farms are not
alike. The independent farmer, who
aims to branch out into something
better, can not wait. He must lead
and thus learn by practical expert.

Small plots for experimental pur'
poses should be used every year as
portion of the routine work on
every farm, and they will thus save
time and labor.

handling
John Martin, of Rawlinsville Lam
caster County, Pa, has cucumber
in his garden which measures 133
inches in length and 10 inches in
circumference.
Warmth, moisture and similar
conditions always favor the activity
of both the ripening and decaying
forces in fruit; fruit left on the tree
begins to decay Immediately. The
art of preserving is in separating
from the tree and placing it under
condition where these forces cease
to act.
Get the butter away from the air
as soon as possible after packing,
and keep it as cool as can be until
going to market. The small pals
and parchment paper are so cheap
that it can be packed solidly, and
the consumer has a chance to get
the butter fresh for the table as long
as it lasts.
Cement and board floors are ex-
cellent, but they may serve as har-
boring places for rats. An excellent
plan is to first excavate the place
where the floor is to be and place
half-inch wire netting underneath,
fastening the sides also, and then
return the earth, which will keep
rats out.
Nervousness and viciousness are
engendered in the ill-treated COW,

BILE help, who hesitates not to beat,

The bulky foods which can be
grown successfully upon the farm
have no superior as feed for the
dairy-corn, oats, clover, hay and
plenty of silage. Results from the
bought concentrated foods can not
equal the results which do these
more easily digested foods. Fore
ing" COW does injury to her d.
gestive organs, and is decidedly not
profitable in the long run.

Farn2 Notes.



There is no economy in putting
the nests up high.
Keeping hens confined and unoc-
cupied causes laziness.
Have the duck and goose house
separate from the chickens.
Build the poultry house substan-
tial and warm, avoiding damp floors.
Feed systematically two or three
times day, scattering the feed so
the fowls will not eat too fast.
If you have noticed hen as be-
ing an especially good layer, keep
her and set as many eggs from her
as possible.
The only safe way Of disposing of
fowls that have died of contagious
disease is to burn them, the sooner
the better.
When ducks are confined they
usually get too fat. Being apparent
ly always hungry they are usually
fed too much.
IF the nests in the poultry house
are kept clean and attractive there
is less liability Of the hens stealing
their nests out.
Too much solid food when there
is not proper exercise tends to fatten,
and when the hens take on fat they
usually fall off in laying.
Just as soon as the time arrives
when the growth doesn't pay for
the food consumed, the cockerels
should all be sold or eaten.
In the state of nature hens seek a
variety of food in order to secure a
supply of all of the elements that
60 to form the eggs they produce.
An orchard that is at the same
time a poultry yard will produce
much more fruit of a better quality
than one receiving ordinary culture.
The best breed, the best poultry
house and the best feed, while nee
essary in raising poultry proftably,
will not count for much unless strict
attention is given to details.
When the hens begin to mott and
lose their feathers they are also de-
bilitated and tonic will be benefi-
cial Add teaspoonful of sulphur
of iron to quart of drinking water.
Ii the roosts are made low and
on the same level there will be few
er cases of humble foot, and the
hens will scatter themselves on the
roosts instead of crowding up close
together.
One way to get rid of lice in the
poultry house is to sprinkle coal oil
everywhere on the floor, walls, roof,
roosts, yards, inside and out, in
every erevice and repeat about every
ten days.
Too much linseed meal will make
the hens fat, but teaspoonful to
each hen three times a week will
assist them to mott and regulate
their condition. 1t is also an ex-
cellent egg-producing food, but
should be given with more bulky
food.
Nearly all the medium sized birds
are more active and easier to raise
than the larger varieties. The de-
mand in market is in favor of a
medium sized carcass. Many breeds
of fowls are injured by attempting
to increase the size.
Take little pains to have the
poultry sent to market in a good
condition. A large proportion of
the poultry that goes to market is
too often in poor condition, and the
consequence is that low prices are
realized and low prices mean small
profits.

rather good one. however, for it is the
inside of the sunshade which makes h
background for the head and shoulders
and receives little wear, while the outside
bears the brunt of service and has a far
less close relation to the face. Large tas-
sells are seen on parasol handles, while the
handles themselves are of dresden china
or mother of pearl inlaid with gold or are
in the likeness of birds, flowers or fruit.
Sequins are also employed as a sunshade
decoration.
