TIL, German Military Machine.

The German emperor has once more
been telling his soldiers their duty. From
the point of view OF the emperor the mis-
sion In life OF n German Is to stand by
tho emperor and be ready to be killed II
he say so.
On the other hand, II the soldier hap
pens to be an officer 1t is his right to kill
a civilian on slight provocatlon o r'with-
out provocation. and the emperor will
protect him In the exercise of that right.
Between these two imperial Views of
the army the emperor Is making the
people OF Germany pretty sick of his
military establishment. 1t Is a costly
machine kept well oiled to be ready for
instant use. and It seems 10 be as merci-
less ne It Is costly.
One OF these fine days the intelligence
OF Germany VIII call n halt, and there
will be n change full OF interest for the
emperor. The present emperor Is I'M
consciously helping to bring this on.

Mutton and Wool.

An exchange says that mutton
raising seems to be attracting the
attention of sheepmen to an un-
usual extent in the days of low
wool, and they are discussing
through the papers the relative
pro6tableness of this and wool grow
ing, with the tendency just now to
make the balance appear in favor
of mutton growing. All the time
it is insisted that the sheep must
be big, well-shaped, plump and fat
or the best of their kind, to make
exclusive raising pay. Ger
tainly this is right, and the same is
equally true of wool-growing. To
derive any profit from the growing
of wool above actual expenses the
sheep must be the best of wool
bearing breeds, and the fleece must
be long and clean stapled, fine and
densely fibered Where these high
standards of excellence are attain
ed sheep will under ordinary cir
cumstances yield some profit,
whether they be of the mutton or
wool breeds, even when ordinary
or low-grade sheep would be grown
at positive loss. But no matter
how we'll bred the sheep may be, or
how big a carcass, or fine fleece
they may have, unless the are well
cared for and well fed they will al
ways be kept at a loss.

seed Potatoes.

There are more than the usual
number of new varieties of potatoes
offered this season, and it is safe to
claim that the majority of them
will drop out of sight next year to
give place to another batch Of new
varieties, all of which are "the best
ever introduced" It is well for
farmers to test new varieties, but
this may be done to advantage with
one or two potatoes. For your gen.
eral crop stick to the kinds that
you know are adapted to your soil
and climate until you are sure that
some new variety is better.

In sowing peas and oats together
it should be remembered that the
oats are designed largely as sup
porter of the peas, and therefore
should not be seeded as thickly as
where oats are sown alone, or say
not over half bushel to the acre.
Peas can be safely sown at the ear
liest possible moment after the
ground can be worked They should
be sown deep, that is broadcasted
and plowed under four or five inches.
This will protect them from hard
freezing in the ground, though they
will stand a good deal of cold with
out injury; even after they are out
of the ground it takes hard freeze
to injure them. They can there
fore be sown earlier than oats, and
being covered deeper, and slower to
come up, they should be sown a
week or ten days earlier. Sow
about two bushels Of peas to the
acre, or even two and a half if it
can be afforded, and harrow the
oats in at the proper. time. For
small hog or sheep pastures oats
and peas make very valuable
combination, and the habit of grow
ing them is very good one to form
and follow.-Farns, Stock and Home.

Enriching the Garden.

The garden is never SO rich that
it will not be benefited with more
manure or fertilizer. Keep it always
up to the highest degree of fertility,
and begin war on weeds as soon as
they begin to appear out of the
ground. Never use poor seed in a
garden, as you cannot afford to take
the risk of failure in termination,
and as early vegetables should be
an object, every week is important
in the Spring, for the crops should
get good start before the dry sea-
son sets in.

A little common soda should be

the dreaded calf disease.

Ducks are in many respects cas-
Ter to raise than any other kind of
poultry, and it has been a matter
of surprise to many that more of
the practical fowl raisers do not
keep at least a few. The profit is
large where ducks are properly
cared for. The old idea of water
as necessity for ducks to paddle
in has been proven by men all over
the country to be wrong. They
can be raised with chickens and
thrive with only drinking water,
nor is it necessary for them to have
water to battle in, as some claim.
Ducks can stand colder weather
than chickens, but still it pays to
give them warm quarters. A lit
tie gravel on the floor is all that is
required.

FARM Notes.
NOTES.

AN LAOAO
fattened the better the profits.
Better results can be obtained
by feeding the young stock separate
from the old.
With all stock, two extremes,
overlooking and undertaking, are
to be avoided.
All animals that die of conta-
gious disease should be burned as
soon as possible.
Don't kick the calf because it's
hair turns the wrong way; its your
fault. Feed it better.
Fed under like conditions young
animals make the largest gain in
proportion to the amount of food
eaten.
Weak or sickly sheep should not
be kept among strong ones. Sepa-
rate such from the flock and give
extra care and attention.
A fowl that will lay fifteen dozen
eggs in a season is considered we'll
worth keeping. Although Pekin
duck will do this, most farmers for
get that such thing as duck ex-
lists.
The older hog gets the more it
costs to increase the weight. It is
estimated that it costs twice as
much to add a pound of weight at
nine months old as it costs at four
months.
Suppose you have eve that
raises two lambs, yields good
fleece and furnishes herself good
carcass when you want to send her
to market. She is considerable of
gold mine, isn't she?
One of the best fertilizers for as
paragus is soapsuds. If a drain
can be arranged along a row of az
paragus, SO as to receive all the
soapsuds that may be made, the
effect will be very beneficial.
What farmers are looking for to-
day is something that will yield an
income outside of their farms. Bees
would make quite an addition to
the income of the farmer, and this
would be received from what ia 60
ing to waste every year.
Prepare good, clean nests in prop
er places for your hens, and you
will not be troubled by the hens
stealing away to lay; let them be
low and on the level. In their
roosting coop let there be but 100
cubic feet space to ten hens, letting
everything tend to their health and
comfort.
You can make COW let down
her milk, but it has got to be done
by coaxing; you have all seen ner-
vous, excitable COWS that would
only give a quart perhaps, when
they ought to give bucketful.
They will hold the milk up for a
while, and then when they become
Quoted down, they will let it down.
There is great future for the
beef trade in the United States.
We know of nothing faithfully and
scientifically followed up that will
bring in better all round results
than raising beef cattle, really first
class animals. But they must be
first-class. The day when Ameri-
cans will put up with tough and
stringy meat has gone by.

orchard and Garden.


Generally there is no advantage
in cultivating the orchard deep.
When it can be avoided do not
prune the grape vine after the SAP
starts.
Pears need rich soil. Lack OF
fertility is often the principal cause
of failure.
1t is often hard to get new tree
to grow thriftily when surrounded
by those in bearing.
On the production of an over
crop it costs the tree more to ripen
than to make the fruit
With care raspberries may be
grown in the same soil for years
and yet produce good crops.
Give trees plenty of room if you
would have them thrifty and vigor-
GUS and bear large, well-matured
fruit.
Too much or too severe pruning
is always more or less weakening,
especially if continued year after
year.
Tn pruning trees of any kind il
is better to leave one strong branch
or limb than two or three weak
ones.
By planting in long rows and
cultivating with cultivator, straw
berries can be grown as cheaply as
potatoes.
Do not plant trees in the garden.
One large tree, even in a corner Of
the garden, will spoil good por-
ton of it.
The sooner now that red and
black raspberries, blackberries, cur
rants and gooseberries are set out
the better.
The only remedy for black rot is
to cut off and burn Immediately
all branches that show indications
of the disease.
In setting out grape settings,
plant in dry, low soil, SO that on
ly the top bud will be exposed and
then mulch with straw.
Every time tree is allowed to
mature too much fruit it weakens
its vitality so that it requires two
or three years to recover.
Trimming makes the fruit of a
much better quality, makes it keep
longer and produces finer more at
tractive and salable fruit.
Trees should always be set about
as deep as they stand in the nur-
sery or two or three inches deeper
to allow for the settling of the soil.
Cultivate your young trees and
small fruits the same as you would
any other crop on the farm from
which you expect to realize profit.
Grapes grown in q clayey soil are
darker and more glossy than those
grown on gravely land, but the
sweetest grapes grow in gravely
soil.
When selecting the trees take
those with the roots large and strong
enough, and then top light enough
to do away with the necessity Of
stalking.
By leaning the trees little tc
the southwest when they are sci
out sun scaling may be largely
avoided, as the top will largely
shade the trunk.
A young, tender tree cannot grow
without good care and attention
A tree is strong and hardy when il
is old and it's roots are well estab.
lished, but when young it must be
attended to.
