AND

CULTTvATING WHEAT.

Some Years ago an English farmer
grew wheat in rows two feet apart,
cultivatins the intervening ground as
we do for our roots or corn CROPS The
result was a yield of considerably over
hundred bushels of far better wheat
than the ordinary kind per acre. The
same method was tried with cther
grains with similar results. A farmer
in the state OF Michigan tried the same
experiment a few years ago. with the
result Of producing lightweight bush
sls OF fine grain per acre He made
a cultivating machine for wheat, by
which the seed drilled in the usual
manner nine inches apart was Guilt
vailed and the yield year after year
was near 80 bushels per acre. This is
quite reasonable. for a crop OF corn
that produces 100 bushels Of shelled
grain per acre would not Yield a fourth
as much if it were sown broadcast, nor
can any farmer get 100 bushels of po-
tatoes on an acre unless the crop is Gull
tivated in the usual manner Then if
this system of culture is good fer one
crop, why is ii not good for all crops?
1t seems as if it should be So and is
it not then good farming to adopt this
productive kind Of culture for ali the
crops of the farm as we'll as for a few?

RIpENED HONEY

Honey should be allowed to ripen

wHIpPING BALIxY HORSES.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
press continually admonishes whom it
may concern that it does no good to
whip or pound a balky horse, almost
every owner or driver Of one does it to-
day. 1t is probably the greatest piece
of horse folly in existence. 1t is not a
remnant of barbarsm, but it is con-
tinued harharity, and brings out what
original sin there is in a man.
The brain Of a horse can retain but
one idea at a sine. If the idea is to
sulk, whipping only intensifies it. A
change of that idea, then, is he only
successful method of management. This
may be accomplished in scores of ways,
few of which are here named
Tie a handkerchief about his eyes;
tie his tail TO the beily-band or hack
band: fasten a stick in his mouth; tie
a cord tightly about his leg; clasp his
nostrils and shut off his wind until he
wants to go; unfitch him from the We
hicle and then hitch him UP again, or
almost any way to get his mind on
something else.
Whipping or scolding always does
harm. The treatment should always be
gentle. There are more balky drivers
than UNCONSTITUTIONAL Stockmen

THE PROFITABLE SUGAR BEET.

The great sugar producers of the
world today are the sugar beet and
| the sugar cane. The former is essen
TALLY a product of tine temperate zone,
while the latter is the child of the
tropics. The beet has undergone a long
and tedious process of development I'M
til its percentage of sugar was raised
from Az and per cent in 1874 to II
and IL per cent. and more today. This
progress represents q vast amount of
labor and energy devoted to this work
scientifically as well as by practical
experiments in the field. On the other
side, the sugar cane tempfS the eye of
the casual observer by its luxuriant
growth with the small labor or risk on
the part of the farmer, after his field
is once prepared But the comparison
Of the two as sugar producers most de-
cidedly result in favor of the modest
beet, even if we leave entirely out of
confederation that nature has itself
drawn the line which separates the
area of their respective possible Guilt
Walton.
The very fact that only the most in
tense cultivation can produce beets
rich enough for the successful manu-
facture of sugar therefrom carries with
it the necessity that all the qualities
VI Liz p1dlil liStNS OSSl lllJSl Gan
studied that the conditions of soil and
Climate under which the beet will
thrive are well known; that every de-
tail of cultivation during the growing
and maturing is thoroughly under
stood.
In consequence of this extended ag-
ricultural knowledge we are in a posi-
ton to select such mother plants for
the raising of seed of which we know
that the seedlings therefrom will grow
into strong and healthy plants and will
yield a sufficiently large quantity
of sugar The criterion for the valua-
ton of the beet is naturally before all
others the percentage of crystailizable
sugar But of almost or entirely of
equal Importance is what the sugar
manufacturers call the coefficient of
purity.-Dr. Julius Koebig, in Califor

COOPER ALIVE CREAaIERIEs WITH
OUT CAPITAL.

The Danish method of starting and
managing creamerieS is remarkably sue
cesSful in profitable returns to farmers
because the product is of the finest quail
ty and is made at the least expense.
Prof. Georgeson, who has made special
study OF the matter says that after ten
years use of the following system, not
single creamery in Denmark has failed:
Frst-The members elect a board of di-
rectorS from their number and this board
has full control of the business and their
action is binding on the association.
Second-Each member SubscribeS a given
number of cows and is entitled to num-
Der of votes in the meeting of the asso--
citation in proportion TO the number Of
cows he has entered.
Thlrd-Each member pays into the treas
ury of the association a small amount,
varying in different associations from so
cents TO IS or "a for each cow he enters.
This becomes part of the capital stock.
Fourth-The association borroWS the adj
ditional money required for the erection of
the creamery and each member becomes
responsible for a share of this debt in
proportion to the number of cows he has
entered. The creamery erected is always
a most substantial structure, built Of
brick with all appointments perfect and
equipped with full line of modern dairy
machinery.
F'ifth-A competent expert is placed in
charge of the creamery. He is under the
supervision of the directors and is usually
paid part salary and part commission to-
gether with certain perquisities such as
house, garden light and fuel, ETC., and he
usually hires and pays bis own assist
ants out of his own pocket.
SiXth-The members are paid monthly
for the milk delivered to the creamery in
proportion to the percent. of fat it con-
tains, and they usually take back the
skinned milk and the buttermilk at about
one-quarter cent per pound.
Seventh-The borrowed capital usually
runs from ten to twenty years, one-tenth
or one-twentieth, as the case may be,
falling due each year, and for the pay
ment of this a sinking fund is provided
from the profits of the business.
Eighth-No member can withdraw from
the association before the debt is paid
without losing his entire vested interest in
the creamery, except when he sells his
place, in which case one-half his interest
will be paid back to him.
Ninth-The members obligate themselves
to feed their cows literally and on suit
able food, for the production of q good
quality of milk. They agree to exercise I
the strictest cleanliness in the handling of
the milk, to report any change in feed or
to withhold the milk should any disease
break out ir the herd or among the people
who attend to the cattle, and the direc- +
tors have authority to inspect the prem
ises Of each member at any time and to !
impose heavy fines for the violation of
regulations which have been adopted by +
the association.
Tenth-Two-thirds majority is required
for the election of new members or to /
amend the constitution.

VALUE OF ALFALFA HAY.

Colonel James a. Lockhart of Otero
county, Colorado, says the Denver Field
ard Farm, is becoming the alfalfa expert
OF Colorado, and has been making a very
close study of the great 1eguminosae for
several years past. On his fine farm at
Fowler he has $50 acres in lucern' and is
experimenting with it in every way pos
slble thus far to such an extent that he
considers its nutritive properties two and
one-half times greater than timothy or
clover, and neary three times greater
than Kentucky blue grass. In short, al
falfa stands at the head of the list Of
hays the world over. Analysis shows that
the common cattle supplying the Lamar
creamery with milk produce 40 per cent.
more butter fat than the fine breeds in
the Illinois dairy districts, all owing to
the difference in the quality of feed. He
says that TO get the best results alfalfa
must be cut early. No hay product runs
to fibre so quickly as alfalfa, and it is
best to err on the side of early cutting.
The accompanying danger is that it is
much more likely to burn in the stack
He is experimenting with alfalfa for the
silo and viii be able to report upon its
behavior later.

IRRIGATING SUGAR BEETs.

II is a fact perhaps not generally
known by those who grow sugar beets
for their saccharine content. that in irri-
eating, care must be exercised to avoid
giving 100 much water. Give moisture
only when absolutely necessary. The
h"et giving the largest tonnage and the
greatest per cent OF sugar, is the long,
s.eAuer specie, and takes that shape from
the beet growing downward in search of
moisture. Excessive irrigation causes a
.arge leaf growth but stunts the beet
and decreases the sugar content. AS soon
after irrigation as the soil has sufficiently
dried, the furrcw should be cultivated
out, and when this is done, diligence must
be used to avoid throwing dirt around the
crown of the beet. The leaves of the beet
must in no way be punched up but be
allowed to spread and droop over, thus
shading the ground. The farmer who
throws the soil around the beet crown
VIII injure his crop very severely.

CARING FOR YOUNG PIGS.

During the first few days, says bull
letin of the Mississippi experiment sta
ton, the pigs should be confined to the
narrowing pen, or, at most, allowed to
run in a small, dry lot They will do
better to be confined to the lot until
they are at least three weeks old. Just
as soon as the pig shows a disposition
to eat he should be encouraged in so
doing. A small place should be cut
off from the lot, so as to allow the pigs
but not the mother to enter, and in
this little lot should be shallow feed
trough. If the pigs are getting plenty
Of milk from the mother, as they will,
provided she is good brood sow and
is we'll fed, there is nothing better than
soaked corn. Dry, hard corn will soon
make their teeta sore. An abundance
of this soaked corn should be provided,
but what is left should be removed at
least twice day and fresh corn put in.
If little sweet skim milk can be given
with care we think it will add to the
growth of the pigs. This may be con-
tinued until weaving time, when a de-
cided change in the food becomes ne
cessary. This is the most critical per
iod of the pigs life, and on it's manage
ment at this time largely depends his
future usefulness. If checked in his
growth he will probably not recover
soon enough TO give the best results.

CHEAP RELIGION.

L entreat you, do not covet "a cheap
religion. What costs nothing is abso-
lutely worth nothing. To become a new
man and an heir of glory means more
than singing a card or rising for
prayer or to go into an inquiry meet
ing 1t means the thorough uprooting
OF old sins and the implanting in you
OF new nature. The whole question
OF your salvation must be settled be-
tween you and your Saviour. The in
quiry meeting you need most is an hon
est hour with the loving Jesus, No
book, no sermon, no friend, no pastor
can save you; Jesus can. Whatever he
bids you, as he speaks through your
conscience, do it. The loving Saviour,
who has waited for you too long al
ready, says to you: Follow me-" Start
at once, and you will find the path of
obedience is the one straight road to
heaven.-Theodore L. Cuyler.
