DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

When the fodder begins to get low,
don't scrimp the cows; better buy some
clover hay and some grain.
If the udder is inclined to be inf1amed,
battle it with hot water, and rub thor
oughly dry, reduce the feed and nature
will help.
The man who cannot be gentle and
tender with his COWS should not be a
dairyman or stock breeder. He should
go into some other business.
Where the most thought and care are
bestowed on the cows, there the cows
give the best net dividends. It is about
30 with all business.
A few days before calving each COW
should be given moderate dose of
epson salts, molasses and ginger. After
the calf is dropped she should have an
other dose:
When a COW will make a pound of
butter day, in her best condition, for
q month at time, upon hay or grass
only, she will doubtless pay for grain
ration in addition to it, if properly pro-
portioncd and properly fed. The high
est product always come from full
supply of material.-Rural World.

ROADSIDE TREES.

The Practice of Planting Orchards
Should BE Quite Popular.
This is receiving more attention in
serves much more than it gets any
where. Our public lands are so near ex-
hausted for homesteads, that the SUI
perabundance of land in the United
States will not allow us to be wasteful
in its use. In Germany the planting of
forest trees by the roadside is no longer
practice. The highways are con-
tinuous garden. The owner of ada
cent land has charge of the roadway
fruit; but the roadway officials assume
charge of the care and protection of the
trees. The railways. are now following
the growing custom, and planting ap-
pies and pears along the side of their
tracks. There are few sections in the
United States where apple and cherry
have for some years been the common
road trees. The fruit, so far as I can
see, is no more subject to molestation
than that which grows inside the lines
of strictly private ownership. found
near Ithaca, N. Y. choice cherries by
the side of the road; and the trees were
loaded with undisturbed fruit. Pos
sibly most of us would consent that
even half of such fruit should refresh
the wayfarers, if we could utilize the
streets, and have half the product as
compensation for the planting. In this
section of the state apple trees line
some of the roadways, but more atten-
ton is given to ornamental shrubbery,
extending the lawns to the street ditch.

Barbed Wire Telephones.

Clarence and John Taylor, living a
mile apart on the Taylor farms in East
Dickinson county, Kan, have solved
the communication problem. Attach
ing fine telephone instruments to the
barbed-wire fence that connects their

communication. During the recent
storm, when weeds and debris were
piled on the fence, it made no differ
ence in the transmission of sound and

ments will doubtless be put in, making

PLANTING SUGAR BEETS.

Hints from q Circular Issued by q
Sugar Factory.
.Plantaspace C. feet square-one tenth
of an acre.
Keep all stock off the land after the
rains begin.
Plow deep, break up thoroughly, pull
verize the soil before planting.
Sow when the soil is warm, after the
rains, say in April or May.
One pound of seed will seed one-tenth
of an acre.
Sow in rows 10 or 81 inches apart.
Sow with a drill, forced feed; SOW
shallow, just deep enough to be covered.
Seed should come up in seven to twen-
ty-one days.
Thin the beets as soon as they de-
velop four leaves.
Thin out from six to ten inches, &C.
cording to richness of soil.
Leave only one beet in one place, and
that the most vigorous one.
Keep weeds out entirely.
Do not allow the crust to form on the
top of the land after seeding or while
beets are growing.
Continue to keep the soil loose by
drawing cultivator between the rows
until the tops cover the ground.
Beets should ripen in from 100 to 160
days from the time of seeding.
! When the outer leaves turn yellow and
die down, it is an indication that the
beets are ripening or ripe.
To get a proper sample, dig two or
three rows in different parts of the
field. Sort them into three sizes-large,
medium and small-and take every
goth beet at random from the three
piles.
Sample should contain rs to 30 beets.
Do not cut the tops off with knife,
but twist the leaves off.
Ship in sacks as soon as possible after
digging.
Mark each sack plainly with name and
address of raiser. Send duplicate ship
ping receipt and letter containing full
particulars, by mail, stating yield in
pounds of the tenth acre seeded.

that, few strands of wire will give
the top something to cling to. The il
lustration shows a trellis of this kind.
II you still prefer to use a single sup
port of six-foot poultry wire, frame it
up well, and tack on the posts short
crosspieces, from the ends of which
stretch wires to hold the vines well up
to the poultry-wire. In regard to
amount of seed to be sown, an ounce to
every ten feet of trellis would be about
right. have an idea that trellis such

ual. But las is the natural, so is the
spiritual" It is far more glorious, but,
after all, the same!
So we may bring Easter, with it's won
derful deep meaning. into the life of
every day. How? BY teaching our
selves to comprehend the truth that
while we live this human life. and devel-
op this natural body, it is not alone the
natural body we are creating, but the
seed of the spiritual body which is to
come after.
This is not a mystical doctrine. All
those who in this life have attained
some knowledge of their spiritual ma
lures will testify to it's truth. The
change from natural to a, spiritual liv-
ing is like the growing of plant whose
seed we have sown. The right plant
surely grows in man who has sown the
right seed.
As the spiritual nature of a man be-
gins to develop. the purer. higher ele-
n1ents IN him grow stronger. and one
by one the baser sort die. Hate dies.
ands revenge and anger. Cruelty dies,
and all unkindness. Narrowness of
mind dies. and contempt for the frail-
ties of others.
The part that lives and grows strong
er is love, Purity and truth and cour-
age are but parts of love. and, as it
grows greater. by and by comes the
sureness of knowledge and faith it
self is swallowed up in fruition.
