Judging the SOIL.

He is an expert farmer who can
rightly judge the soil. 1t requires,
according the PLoaomGn long prac-
tice to determine when the soil is
just right for planting, blowing or
cultivating. There is a physical
property, or a general appearance,
which reveals the time when all
manipulation of the soil should
take place, but there are no terms
by which these characteristics can
be accurately described. They can
only be learned in the school of ex-
perience. We have such terms as
cohesion, adhesion and flocculation,
the employment of which comes
nearly expressing the required con-
ditions. There is general appear
ance that presents itself in birds
eye view and shows at once wheth-
er field or farm is in good heart.
The proper manipulation of the
soil not only increases its yield, but
hastens maturity. 1t is easy to
make a weeks difference in the
ripening period of corn by different
management of cultivation. IT.
regularity in cultivation always re-
tards growth and lengthens the
period of ripening. The poor stand
that often occurs is occasioned, not
by poor seed alone, but by poor
preparation of the seed bed as we'll,
The vigor with which young crop
rises from the ground depends large
ly on the manner of the seeds with
the soil and the uniformity of the
depth at which they are planted.
Some farmers work away at their
soil without regard to weather OF
soil conditions. Such farmers in
jure the reputation of the State by
cutting down the general average
of crops.
With the present improvements
in dairying, COWS coming fresh in
early Autumn are the most profit
able and a bank barn is a good
place in which to shelter them.

It will not be very long before
onions must be planted. If the
weather permits Of SO doing, the
land that was MANFRED last Fall
should now be plowed under, and
the more manure turned under the
better. This being done spread
some very fine and thoroughly de-
composed manure over the ground
there to remain until ready for put
ting in the crop. BY this careful
preparation the yield will be large
and the onions make rapid growth
early in the season.

/ you have a piece Of land to
spare for timber, plant it to black

this will be wealthy later on in life,
as black walnut is already very
scarce and becoming more SO.
If the ground is not frozen, clean
off the asparagus bed and spread
fine, well-rotted manure over it.
Asparagus comes early, and it will
be too late to do anything with the

Going to the pig pen and pour
ing bucket of ice-cold slop from q
barrel into the trough is not eco
nomical. The hog must warm the
slop after it is swallowed, and this
causes a loss of animal heat, which
is so much fat or weight lost. 1t is
severe hardship on the hog to be
compelled to eat frozen food in very
cold weather.
Small fruit farms are becoming
more numerous every year. It has
been estimated that a quart Of
strawberries should not cost over
DC for use of land, of cultivation,
labor, picking and marketing, pro-
vided the crop is large one, but if
the yield is small the cost of each
quart is increased. Fertilizers and
manure must not be spared, while
the variety must be adapted to the
soil.
Most of the breeds of fowls that
have top-knots are good layers.
But they cannot protect themselves
fIom hawks and owls where these
abound, because their head covering
prevents them from looking up
ward. The best guard against
hawks and owls is to keep few
guinea hens, which will raise their
peculiar and boisterous clamor every
time they see a strange object in
the sky, and thus give warning to
other fowls.

- -
While the boar is fully one-half
in breeding it should be remember
ed that the sows are the other half.
While it may not be SO necessary
to have the sows full-blooded it is
essential that they be reasonably
well-matured, vigorous and thrifty
if the best results are secured. A
young SOW, being bred for the first
time, should nearly always be older
than young boar being used the
first time for service. While with
good treatment, so that a steady
growth has been maintained, it is
possible TO use a thrifty young boar
for some service, when it is only six
months old it will be an exception
when it can be considered best to
breed a young SOW under eight
months.
The largest; most growthy and
best sows should be selected for
breeders, and they should be from
the earliest Spring filters. Select
those that have good length and
depth of body and good bone. They
should be animals such that when
matured they will be of good size,
large enough and roomy enough tc
develop within themselves good
litter Of vigorous pigs. In selecting
the breeding animals, the sows
should always be longer in body
than the boar. The better plan il
to mate young SOW, that is bred
for the first time, to a we'll matured
boar that has proven himself to be
a good breeder. This will lessen
the risks of failure.
In the selection of the sows, care
must be taken that they are good
animals individually. If the mother.
grandmother, and great grandmoth-
er have been good breeders all the
better. An animal of this kind will
be more valuable than one whose
ancestors have been unreliable as
breeders.
The brood sows must be kept
thrifty. There is no advantage in
keeping them fat. A sow should
always be in a gaining condition
when bred and then be kept thrifty
during CESSATION.
The true value of a SOW as a
breeding animal cannot usually be
fully determined until she has far
rowed two or three filters. II, after
fair trial, she proves good breed
er she may be kept as long as she
continues to bring good filters of
thrifty pigs.

About Pruning.

These fine Winter days should
be improved by doing some pruding
in the orchard. On trees only three
or four years planted, the work will
be light. Orchardists, competent
to teach, used to advocate forming
the tree tops shoulder high to six
foot man. Since the necessity of
spraying trees has been generally
accepted, low tops have become the
rule and the trees ought to stand
wider apart, SO as to admit of teams
in the rows in the hauling of the
fruit. On the other hand it has
been apparent that an orchard of
low top trees, when ten or more
years old, will not admit of Guilt
walton by horse power nor yet of
distributing fertilizers. We have
then this dilemma: The necessity
of spraying facilitated by low tops
and the cultivation and manuring
the orchard aided by high tops,
both being considered absolute ne
cessities. ''You pays your money
and you takes your choice"

FARM Notes.



jured.
Thick, we'll refined honey will not
granulate SO rapidly as that which
is thin.
Bees are profitable because they
gather up and store away that which
would otherwise be lost.
A large number of extra combs
are necessary when extracted honey
is the plan to be followed.
The best food for bees in Winter
is thick clover honey, to which white
sugar syrup may be added.
Bees serve as active agents in the
fertilization of plants and are not
destructive in the smallest degree.
No trash of any kind should be
left on the bottom boards, as this
will furnish good nest for the
moth miller.
Dry and warm is the rule for
honey if it is to retain its flavor and
richness. If properly kept honey
will improve with age.
Bees will generally require about
thirty pounds of store upon which
to Winter. Sometimes they will
need more, sometimes less.
Hives may be placed anywhere,
high or low, wherever it is most
convenient to the bee-keeper, as it
makes no difference to the bees.
Bookkeeping, when combined with
fruit growing, enables one to pro-
cure double crop from the same
land without additional fertilizing.
Do not pull up covers that the
bees have closely sealed down. They
want their houses air tight at the
top to prevent ventilation or cold
draughts.
One of the best plans of feeding is
to give the food at nightfall, SO as
not to excite robbing. Otherwise
you are apt to lose as much as you
gain by feeding.
One of the best places to locate
hives is in the orchard, as usually
there the bees will be less free from
annoyances and will be less liable
to annoy anything else.
Bees do better when they have
part honey and part sirup and sugar
to live upon during cold weather.
They will Winter better if given
some genuine honey for food.
Bees, during the Winter, settle
down to a quiet condition, during
which there is very little wear and
tear on the system and, in conse-
quence, they consume but little.
An ordinary hive of bees contains
from four to five pounds of bees or
between 10000 and 25, 900 individu-
ais. But some swarms have double
this weight and number of bees.
The use of comb foundation not
only saves great deal of labor and
time to the bees, but it also secures
straight combs in the hives and
does away with the over-production
of drone comb.
While the quantity of honey that
can be secured from a hive of bees
in a season depends very largely
upon the season aud the manage
ment, ordinarily good swarm will
produce from Is to 100 pounds of
honey in season.
A good plan to make start in
Bookkeeping is to buy two or more
good colonies from a good beeman.
Do not buy heavy colony with
but few bees, but buy a colony
that has honey enough to last until
the honey flow comes in.
Each hive should have its own
bottom board and this board should
be of the same dimensions at the

LAWN TARGETELLE.

A game of lawn targetelle is one OF
the pretty diversions which the sum-
mer girl has before her. 1t is game
to play under the leafy trees, upon
smooth lawn, and when arraved in
one prettiest and crispiest frock.
The game is not violent enough to
disarrange draperies or curls or to
cause one to get ''all of glow" On
this account perhaps it is making a
high bid for favor.
The implements of the game are six
india rubber rings and bills and mall
let's. Three rings, graduated I'm size,
are placed one within the other and
constitute a target. There are two OF
these targets placed about forty feet
apart. The player stands beside her
ball at the lefthand side of one target,
facing the other target. There are two
sets of balls, one with black, the other
with red numbers. The game is to
drive the balls by means of mallets
from alongside the one target to the
other, with such force that they will
come to rest as near the centre of the
target aimed at as possible. The score
made depends both upon the value of
the division of the target on which the
ball lies, viz, l, 2, 8, and the number
showing on the ball the one multiplied
with the other The game is played by
any number or by two sides, consisting
of two or four players each.

PRESERVING CUT FLOWERS.
Simple But Effective Measures For
ProIonging the Life of Fraii
blossoms

The woman who wishes to enjoy the
whole of the short life of her cut flowers
instead of only a small portion OF it, Will
not settle down upon any one undertaking
method for preserving them, but Will
rather vary IL according TO the different
causes which lead to their decay.
Take, for instance, the flowers OF 6. sue
cuient mature IKE the IRIS. The stems,
when put into water, slough away and
soon give forth an unpleasant Odor. There
are TWO remedies which may be applied in
this case; either one should put a mild
dls,nfectant in the water and frequently
change it, or cut off the ends of the stalks
at short intervals.
A good point to remember in gathering
flowers of the iris family, and, indeed all
succuIent plants, like the primrose the
snoWdrop, the lily and poppy, is TO pick
them While still in the bud, as they will
often suck up enough water TO quite carry
out their natural life.
Another flower whose stem most rapidly
decays and corrupJS the water is the
mignonette, and it is often best, therefore,
to sacrifice it while its head is still fresh
ly green. Heliotrope, like mignonette,
should always be put in water by itself,
for it not only fades and turns brown rap
idly, but it will kill almost any flower put
with it,
The cause of decay in hard-wooded
plants like the azalea. and cameHa is that
they do not take up enough water, not
that they have any tendency to pollute it,
SO that to cut their stalks frequently
would be of little avail. The hard, brit
tie wood has ne power of absorption; but
if when putting such flowers in a vase or
bowl you make sure that the lowest leaves
attached to the blossoms are under water,
the effect is magical. The tender green of
the fresh leaf absorbs the water and acts
as a conductor, in its turn nouriShing the
blossom. Ferns, and especially maiden
hair, are very short lived when they have
to look to the stem alone for nOuriShment,
he m
them is to see that the lower part of ev-
cry frond is well under water. Cut flow
ers require as a rule a far larger quantity
of water than is given them, though the
capacious bowls and vases now in vogue
come much nearer meeting their wants
than the slender, elegant forms that con-
tinue to adorn our cabinets and mantels.
We must be guided in our expectations of
the longevity of a flower, however, by its
normal life, and not expect the frail bios
som of a day to rival the splendid orchid
in its three weeks duration.
Flowers should always be placed in wa
ter as soon as possible after being picked;
