FARM AND GARDEN.
EUPHONiOUS NAMES.
Every Well-kept Farm Should Have an
Appropriate Title.

Every Well-kept Farm Should Have an
Appropriate Title.
One Of the evidences of enterprise and
improved methods among farmers is
the fact that many of them are giving
beautiful and significant names to their
farms, and then seeking by increased
efforts to make the farm worthy of its
name, and one of which the proprietor
may be justly proud.
In front of every farmhouse there
should be an artistically painted board
bearing the name of the farm, also the
name Of it's proprietor, or manager. It
might also point the direction, and give
the distance, of the proprietor's post
Office town, and other nearby towns, il
desired, and thus become, also, a
friendly guide-post" to strangers in
the vicinity.
Thousands Of pretty names, from
which any farmer may select an appro'
pirate one for his own home, may be
formed by q combination of words. If
located in timbered country, the name
may be based on a favorite kind Of tree.
or the kind prevailing in the locality,
as Oakdale farm, Elmgrove, Cedardale,
etc. Or the name may be selected with
regard to the location of the farm rela-
tive to some nearby object. If near a
river, lake, mountain, ETC., rs River
side farm, River View, Mountain View,
Lake, View, Hillside, Hilltop, etc. Or
the name may be based on the proprie-
tors ftlvorite plant, or the one princi-
pally grown on his farm; as Cloverdale
farm, Clover Leaf, Blue Grass, etc.
Beautiful and suggestive farm names
may be selected from q thousand words
or from a combination of words, and
each one can select one to his own lik-
ing.
The farmer who puts up his name
nnd that of his farm in front of his
home proclaims thereby that he is not
ashamed of the farm of which he is
proprietor. It is a guarantee that his
efforts shall be SO directed that the ap.
pcarance of his home shall, as rapid
" az he can. do it, be made to consist
with it's beautiful name.
In addition to naming the farm, the
residence, out buildings, lawns, etc..
should be put into repair, if needed,
and a good photograph of the homo
taken. Letter heads bearing the name
Of the farm, and also a cut Of the house.
should be printed, and used by members
Of the household in writing to friends,
or on business. All these things would
stimulate pride of home and farm,
and would surely result in an improve
n:ent of farm methods, and in I'm In

Economv That Doesn't Pay.

Use plenty of seed for farm and gar
den crops. 1t is not safe to be too
economical with seed unless there are
indications at the time of planting
which insure termination. The loss of
one or two weeks time early in the
spring, by being compelled to replant,
is not only on expenditure of labor, but
is also costing time that cannot be re-
gained. Some crops require long sea-
son during which to mature, and the
best growth is made early in the year.
When a large portion of the seed fails
to terminate the crop may be either
q total loss or fail to pay it's cost.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

. Healthy fowls pick up their food
quickly and relish it.
There is no gain in keeping ROSTERS
after the Matching season is over.
Generally the more active the breed
the less liability to fatten.
Ducks and geese require little grain
when they have plenty of grass.
Many poultry disorders are caused by
alternate gorging and starving.
Early layers depend upon the stock
and upon the>way they are raised.
1t is a good plan when feeding whole
grain to fowls to scatter it out well.
Geese are at their best for breeding
after they have passed their third year.
Success in the poultry yard is not
SO much in the Matching us in the feed
ing.
Ducks do not have the cholera, Group
or gapes, and hawks do not bother
them.
With all kinds of fowl, regularity of
feeding is of more importance than the
quality.
Fowls should not be confined more
Ethan is necessary, unless they are being
fattened.
Kill off all poor layers, poor mothers
and imperfect specimens as soon as in
marketable condition.
Young chicks have every little stor-
ing capacity. They need to eat fire.

Late Matched chickens should be we'll

less this can be done, they will never
make large birds.
Little chicks require almost twice as
much food as little ducks, but they
grow very rapidly. They should be fed
four or five times day, especially when
the growth II to be pushed.-St. Louis

HANDCART EXPERIENCE.

They said if we would take pains
and follow their instructions they
would direct us to where tt ere is a
very dim track that would lead us
to the Little Sandy, but we would
have to travel for about miles
through large sage brush and it
would be hard to pull our cart thru,
and there was no water until we
reached the Sandy, which would be
the middle of the next day. We
followed their directions and found
the way as they had described it to
us, but arrived at the Little Sandy
about the middle of the forenoon,
having camped by ourselves without
food or water.
We stopped in a small patch of
timber which was on both banks of
the stream, and in looking on the
opposite side saw large bear, but
short distance from us, the river
being not more than 20 feet wide at
this point. The land on that side
was narrow, with banks from 10 to
20 feet high, the floods having ia
ken the soil away at some former
time. l took out my old shotgun
but bruin wheeled and made for the

we were exceedingly thankful.
