FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

He who would enjoy the fruit must
plant the tree.
Berries cannot be grown and mar
keted as easily as wheat, corn and
potatoes.
The growers OF berries for market
should realize that ordinary farm
methods are not sufficient.
Berry growing, like market garden.
ing, requires the greatest concentra-
tion of good soil, labor and thought.
The way to get peaches is to plant
peach pits and keep planting. Seed
ling peaches can be grown in sheltered
places on almost any farm.
Every farmer who has an orchard of
any size should also own small hand
press 1t will save trip to the large
press quite frequently, save cash and
enable the owner to work up the crop
at odd times.
Straining the cream Just before
churDing should be regarded rs a ne.
cessary precaution. for if there is any
dirt in cream it will become incorpor-
ated with the butter instead of passing
off in tire buttermilk.
Cows must have exercise in winter.
The habit of keeping milch cows tied
up all the time, even watering them
in their stalls, together with bad air
and lack of sunshine, is responsible
for much tuberculosis.
More bees are being lost on account
OF bad food, or none at all, than from
oil other causes combined, especially
in winter; tor there is no factor SO
important as the matter of food, and
it is one often neglected.
A little attention each year greatly
improves the appearance of the or
chard, and the work can be done with
a greater economy in this way than by
permitting it to accumulate for several
years and then doing it all at once.
AT a dairy in Berlin, famous for the
purity of its milk, the milk is strained
through q wire sieve with cloth, on
which rests deep layer of fine sand.
Before the sieve is again used, the
sand Is put in hot oven to destroy
any possible germs.
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 re.
ceived from what is going to waste
every year.
For nursery stock and fruit trees on
good land, wood ashes have been
found much superior to barnyard ma
nure. An orchardist scattered large
amount of ashes over a piece of land
many years ago, and it still retains the
vigor impaired.
A little common soda should be
added to the skim milk before feeding
the calves. 1t is claimed that soda
prevents the formation of the rubber
like curd in the stomach that is SO of.
ten found on examination of calves
that have died OF the dreaded calf dis.
ease.
A possible way to test butter is to
get a clean piece of white paper,
smear it with the suspected article and
set 1t on fire. If the butter is good,
the smell of the burning will be de-.
cidedly pleasant; but il there is artI.
fetal animal fat in the composition,
there is no mistake in the tallowy
odor.
1t is always advisable to make a
change of feed occasionally for the
COW in winter. 1t gives her increased
appetite. If you feed twice day,
stop it but ii You house your COWS
on stormy days, in place of letting
them run in a stalk field, then give
something to eat at noon. Above all
be regular in fos ling.

DON'T HAYE A BEaINN1Na.

Young man, If you have not begun to
drink, don't begin, says a contemporary.
You don't need liquor now aud you don't
care for It. But II you drink 1t once or twice
a day for week, you will need It and must
have it. Resist the beginnings. This is ex-
cellent adYicej but the advice we are giving
you Is even more excellent. Don't have any
beginnings TO resist. Don't begin at all.
Think OF what the sehoolboy said In his COM
position: "Beware Of the first drink, for II
you don't take the first drink, you will never
take the second" "

SELECTING SEED COIN.

A great many farmers who regard
themselves as quite careful IN the Sc
lection'of seed content themselves with
making the selection at husking time
or from the crib, being guided by the
appearance of the ear. This is not
sufficient, however, to secure the best
results. Professor II. j. Waters, Dean
of the Missouri Agricultural College,
narrates q direct experiment on this
point. The field was gone through
and fine ears were selected from the
large, thrifty stalks having an abun-
dant leaf growth. Another lot of ears,
equal in size, was gathered from stalks
smaller and less thrifty. After the
seed had been gathered, the one lot
could not be distinguished from the
other SO far as the appearance of the
ears went. The only difference was in
the kind of stalk that produced the
ears. A field was planted with these
two lots of seed. All through the sea-
son that portion which had been grown
from seed taken from the thrifty stalks
could be distinguished from the plant
ANC AAAhNAS lAOiu luO eStu luh6n
the less thrifty stalks. At harvest
time the difference in favor OF the seed
from the large, thrifty stalks with
plenty of leaf growth was seven bushels
per acre, and Professor Waters thinks
that If this process of selection was
carried on for a series of years a vari-
ETY. of corn could be considerably i'm.
proved on the one hand, or almost en-
tirely run ont on the other. 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that the selection of
seed ears from the same crib, being
guided by size and general appearance
OF the ear simply, is not sufficient, and
that it is quite as important to know
the kind of stalk that produced the
seed ear as it is to know that the ear
itself has the size, form, etc, which
suit the purposes of the farmer.

No MISTAKE IN PLANTING FRUIT TIRE

No MISTAKE IN PLANTING FRUIT TREES
The fact is we expect too much from
old orchards. They have already paid
for themselves, many times over, and
have outlived their usefulness. Still
they are permitted to occupy valuable
ground, and besides yielding nothing,
are an eyesore, greatly detracting
from the natural beauty of a place.
During the winter months these unin-
teresting and Improbable objects
should be removed and cut up into
trewood. In spring, new orchards
should be planted on well-prepared
ground, under-drained and subsoiled.
Notwithstanding the prevailing low
prices, no mistake can be made in
planting fruit trees. The rich lands
which are at our disposal, and the re-
markably favorable climate which we
are blessed with should be taken ad-
vantage Of. There is question rs to
the advisability of spending labor and
money on some kinds OF crops, but
the fruit-grower can, if he will, con-
tinue to make an honest and good liy.
ing at this pursuit for years to come.
The trees we plant live to bless the
world and enrich the inheritance of
our children long after we are laid
beneath them and with the return Of
each successive season, to shed their
fragrance on the air and crown with
golden fruits the harvest of the year.
l have the pleasure and qualification
OF stating that the insect pests and
fungOus diseases which few years
ago threatened the entire destruction
of orchards and vineyards, have been
so controlled by remedies and pre-.
ventatives that no great injury need
be feared in the future, so long as or
dinary care and diligence are exer-
cised by the orchardist. 1t is true
that the beneficial effects resulting
from spraying cannot be fully esti-
mated until the treatment is more gen
eral, yet enough has been learned to
satisfy the most incredulous that
spraying is a success, if not an abso.

of the Department OF Agriculture
great progress has been made in Cali

furious insects by introducing para

that the fruit.growers there believe il
to be possible to overcome every in

For the fiscal year 1895 the United States
Government issued 22s.O0O liquor licenses,
which is equivalent to a licensed saloon for
each 29S people-tO say nothing of tho
liquor-dealers that are unlicensed. In the
Capital Of the Nation there are Cos licensed
bar-rOoms, or one for each 4l5 people. If
we take out the women and children and
temperance people as class, there are less
than a hundred drinkers to support each
saloon In the United States.

REMEDY ron WIRE WORMS,

These injurious creatures will not
be hurt by any amount of wood ashes.
The best thing to be done-if it is
possible--is to get quantity of gas
lime from a gas worksand apply twen-
ty bushels to the acre on the land as
soon as plowed, and leave it,,fallow for
a summer, plowing and crows plowing
1t several times. This will both
smother and starve the wire worms.
