co1orinr Butter in Winter.

There Is no moral wrong In coloring
winter butter, provided it be made of
cream that has not acquired bad odors
from feed or from exposure. We have
known farmers to color butter that
was made for their own use. They
claimed. and truly, that the yellow
color made the butter more appetizing,
though the taste was not changed. But
strain of Jersey or Guersney blood
will impart more color to winter butter,
and so also will feeding with corn
stalks. The stalks of corn are better
feed for milch cows than is timothy
hay, but where stalks are the principal
feed some corn or corn meal ought al

The Use of Clover.

The Use of Clover.
Farmers who SOW clover seed thinly,
with the expectation that it will spread
so as to fill the vacant spaces, make a
great mistake. 1t will spread, but so
slowly that weeds, which abound in all
soil that is rich enough to produce any
thing, will crowd and stunt it. On the
contrary, if the seeds are close enough
together, and the soil is in good enough
tilth and richness to make clover
plant each two or three inches square
Of space, the clover will go very far to-
ward crowding out the annual weeds,
like ragweed and charlock. These start
very early, but their early growth is
slow, and they are completely hidden
under the broad leaf of clover when it
gets it's third, fourth and fifth leaves.
Where the clover once gets the start,
1t will keep it. We have seen in grain
fields in June or July good clover
growths, and have examined under
them the soil with microscope, find
ing there thousands of weeds that had
germinated and put out one or two
leaves, only to be smothered down by
the larger clover growth. 1t is well
known to farmers that the second year
crop of clover, if good Seeding, fills
the soil SO that nothing else can grow.
But the first years clover crop cannot
smother biennial weeds like red root,
shephurd's purse and tn plantains.
These start in the fall, and are ready in
spring to make an earlier growth than
newly sown clover can be.-American

G1adstone's Advice to Young Men.
Be sure that every one of you has
his place and vocation on this earth,
and that it rests with himself to find it.
Do not believe those who too lightly
say: Nothing succeeds like success"
Effort, honest, manful, humble effort,
succeeds by it's reflected action, espe-
cially in youth, better than success,
which, indeed, too easily and too early
gained, not seldom serves, like winning
the throw Of the dice, to blind and
stupefy. Get knowledge, all you can.
Be thorough in all you do, and remem-
Der that though ignorance often may be
innocent, pretension is always despica-
bic. But you, like men, be strong and
exercise your strength. Work onward
and upward, and may the blessing of
the Most High soothe your cares, clear
your vision, and crown your labors with
reward.

Straw for Fattenine stock.

When cattle, horses or sheep are fed
very concentrated and nitrogenous
foods they will often show a decided
liking for grain straw, which if fed on
alone could not be eaten in sufficient
quantities to sustain life. What this
fattening stock seeks in the straw is
first more of the carbonaceous element
of food, and secondly, something that
will distend their stomachs while fur
nishing little nutrition. In this respect
the domestic animals are wiser than
man, who, when he can get it, overloads
his stomach with indigestible food, and
then resorts to drugs instead of to more
bulky food for relief-Exchange

Keeping Apples in Pits.

Apples can be kept in cellars better
than above ground provided they be
not brought in contact with the soil.
This is sure to injure their flavor,
though it prevents either rotting or
willing from contact with changing air.
There should always be some box or
barrel to enclose the apples before
burying them, and they should be COW
cred deeply enough to be near the freez-
ing point all winter. If the apples are
sound when put in there will be little
or no rot when they are taken out of
their winter quarters.

Deep Draining.

Deep undertaking is a protection
against damage from droughts. That
may seem paradoxical to some-that we
drain to get water out Of the soil and
drain to get water into the soil-yet we
know from personal observation that
growing crops over and around the
drains, in time of severe drought, will
show almost as much superiority over
those growing on undrained land as
would be seen by comparison Of the
same lands in an excessive wet time.

the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
