FINEST OF CARE GIVEN STOCK.

Seed Potatoes.

There is a great difference in the
peeling and cooking of potatoes as
regards waste. It is one of the
points which materially affect the
sale of the crop. Therefore, in Sc
lecting seed care should be taken
to plant only the varieties which
have eyes even with the surface of
the face, instead of sunken, and
which are without rough protuber-
ances. Some of these latter will
yield very largely, but the potato
is coarse in fibre and not nearly so
palatable as those which grow to
moderate size and have compare
lively few eyes. At the housewife
selects from the bin for cooking she
naturally chooses those that can be
prepared with least difficulty. The
moral of this is that the seed
should be selected early, and not
left to be taken from the rough po-
tatoes that have all Winter been
rejected as Of inferior quality.

RoWlng Garass.

The proper time to SOW grass
seed is in the Fall, for then the
grass becomes rooted and starts off
early in Spring; but there will be
grass sowing this Spring also, and
it il correct to SOW the seed rather
than to allow the pastures to die
out or become thin. The main
point is to SOW az early as possible,
so that the benefit of the Spring
rains can be secured. If grass can
get good start before the dry Sum-
mer season comes half the battle
will be won, as the more root growth
made the better it can endure the
lack of moisture.

Prevention or Potato ecab.

Mr.. R. P. Rhea, Yates Center,
Kas., requests a repetition of the
directions for preventing the above
named disease of the potato AS
the nature of the affection was full
ly given only a few weeks ago, it
will suffice to say that potatoes in
tended for planting should, if scab-
by, be soaked for an hour and q
half in a solution of corrosive sub
Innate, made by dissolving two and
one-half ounces of the sublimate in
Is gallons of water. The solution
must be made in a wooden barrel
or tub, in which a portion of the
seed, after being thoroughly cleaned
from adhering earth, should be sus-
pended in gunny sack for the re-
quired time and afterwards dried.
successive portions OF the SEED can
be dipped in the solution until it is
used up. 1t should be remembered
that this chemical is very poison
GUS and must be handled with care
and kept out Of the reach of all
domestic animals. Potatoes should
not be planted second time on
land that contains germs of scab,
and only commercial fertilizers
should be applied, as it has been
ascertained by repeated experiments
that barnyard manures as we'll as
lime and plaster have tendency
to develop the disease.

FARM Notes.


Manure that is spread out now,
even if lumpy, will be pulverized
by the frost. 1t would be of much
benefit to put shovelful around
each rose bush and, shrub.
Spraying must not be delayed a
day longer than possible, as soon
as the work is required. 1t is the
first two or three sprayings early in
the season that are the most effect
nal.
Oats and peas on the same plot
together may be seeded early as a
source for supplying the cows with
green feed later on, as the combina-
ton has been tried with excellent
results.
Young goslings should not be per-
mitted to go ON ponds until they
are well feathered, as they are easily
chilled when the water is cold.
The same applies to ducklings,
which are subject to cramps.
Prof. Roberts, of Cornell Uni
versity, says there are three nipple
ments that should be in every COW
stable-the scales, the Babcock
milk test and the shotgun. Often
times the profit Of herd of fifteen
COWS is being made by six.
1t will soon be time to begin work
on the strawberry bed. Fertilizers
should be used before the plants
begin to make growth. Work be-
tween the rows as soon as it can be
done, and apply the fertilizer on
the plants in the rows, using it
literally, as the spring rains will
dissolve it and carry it down.
There are fields uncultivated that
could be improved at small cost
by simply turning under green
crops. 1t is better to do this than
TO leave the field idle. 1t will i'm
prove some, even under fallow, but
much quicker if green crops are
grown thereon and plowed in, fol-
lowed by an application of lime.
Oats and peas, COW peas, millet,
sorghum, rye, buckwheat and Grim
con clover are crops that can be
grown for the purpose of blowing
under.

swine for PrOfit.

More than any other kind of
stock on the farm hog-raising seems
especially suited to the needs of the
small farmer, and the farmer hav-
ing only limited capital. They
possess a few decided advantages
that make them the poor mans
stock. They bring in quick re-
turn by the rapidity with which
they increase and the short time
required for them to mature.
A good brood sow kept thrifty
and properly bred will farrow two
filters of pigs in year, averaging
from seven to twelve pigs each.
These pigs can be made ready for
market by the time they are nine
months old. In fact they are
marketable at good prices at any
stage of their growth. No other
kind of stock will make SO good a
return in 80 short time.
Pigs may be narrowed at any
time within the next eight or ten
weeks, and can be made ready for
market. before severe cold weather
sets in next Winter. The sow can
be bred again so as to bring in an
other litter in the Fall, and these
can be made ready for market by
June.
The quick turning of a small
capital is what the small farmer
wants. He cannot afford to wait,
as would be necessary with cattle
or horses.
AS with all other stock on the
farm, however, good stock must be
kept and good treatment given, SC
that quick growth and an early
maturity can be secured.

Test or Cow.

The breed of cows you use should
be one from which you can secure
800 pounds Of butter per year from
each COW. You may suppose such
an amount of butter to be too large,
hut there are COWS that have pro-
duced 1000 pound per year. They
are few. it is true, but they are ex-
amples of what can be done by the
use Of better breeds. An average
of 800 pounds of butter per year
from each COW in a herd is not ex-
traordinary.

Premature Planting.

Do not be tempted to plant too
soon because the weather is warm
and pleasant. There may be Sc
we're cold in March and April.
Nothing will be gained by planting
seed at risk. The ground should

An orchard of 100 trees should
contain not more than Is Summer
and Fall sorts; the balance should
be Winter apples of best approved
varieties. A few standard apples,

furious to young orchards.
Now is one of the very best times
for pruning and thinning the grape
vines.
In setting out trees thin them SO
az to avoid forks and to make them
head low.
Missing trees in the orchard
should be replaced by thrifty young
trees of some sort.
A few apple and peach trees
should be planted every year to
keep up the supply.
1t is not a bad plan to keep the
orchard lands in as good condition
of fertility as the corn field.
Dead or decaying trees in the or
chard afford a harboring and breed
ing place for insects and vermin.
The pear tree, after it once comes
into bearing, if kept healthy, can
be depended upon for fruit every
year.
The best ground for peach or
chard is sandy soil that has been
planted for several years with gen.
eral crops.
If the fruit trees are infested with
bark lice, wash them with strong
soft soapsuds into which a little
carbolic acid has been stirred.
Do not force the growth of young
pear trees too rapidly. 1t is claim
ed that the blight does not SO read
lily attack trees that grow slowly.
There is less liability of rot in
grapes if they can be grown on
trees or a high trellis 80 that the
fruit will be good distance above
the ground.
Now is a good time to scatter a
little well-prepared compost along
the the strawberry bush. A good
rich soil is essential to the growth
of fine berries.
Whatever tends to promote the
general health and thrift of the
tree will also help to free both tree
and fruit from blight, scab and
other diseases that often attack the
trees and fruit.
Apple trees trimmed during the
Winter develop many incipient
buds on branches and trunks, which
by midsummer have grown into
shoots from a few inches to a foot
or more in length.
Fruit trees that are headed low
have tendency to grow too much
foliage, the density of which tends
to prevent sufficient air and light
from reaching the fruit. Now is
the time to remove all surplus
growths before the buds start.
The union between the scion and
stock takes place by the inner bark
and not by the cut surface of the
wood. The skill of the CRATER is
then exercised to bring the inner
bark of the scion into close contact
with the inner bark of the stock.
One of the advantages in giving
the trees good coat of whitewash
in the Spring is that it destroys in
sects and eggs that the bark of the
tree is so often infested with at this
season and in this way will help to
make them healthier and thriftier.
Small trees are less checked in
their growth by removal, have a
better supply of roots, are dug with
less injury and are less liable to be
injured by winds while getting well
started to growing. They can be
purchased and set ont at a less cost
than older trees.
Peach trees should have the ends
of the long shoots shortened. A
bushy tree yields more fruit than an
