slow retreat homeward from the ducn

A good grindstone is one of the most
useful tools on the farm.
The strawberry plants will be throw
ing out runners, and if the soil is
loosened and the youngrunners placed
in the rows the work of cultivating will
be easier next season and fewer plants
destroyed.
Cutworms prefer to work during
cool nights, and they cause heavy
loss of early transplanted plants.
When plant has been cut off search
for the worm in that hill and it will
usually be found. 1t is difficult to use
remedies to destroy them in large
field. By wrapping each plant with
thick paper an inch below and an inch
above the ground the plant will be
protected
The large, coarse varieties of carrots
most used for stock feeding are not so
nutritious as is the shorthorn, which
grows most of its bulk near the surface
or slightly above it. As the shorthorn
carrot can grow more thickly in the
row, it is nearly as productive as the
deeper setting varieties, and it is also
more easily harvested. Five to six
hundred bushels of the shorthorn car
rot may be grown per acre. This is n
paying crop at the usual price of this
root.
Farmers who rely upon the fertility
of their soil for success may be disap-
pointed if they do not give good prep
aration and thorough cultivation to
the crops. While the soil may pos
sess a large amount of plant food, yet
it must be presented in the most avail
able form. Much of the matter of the
soil is inert and is reduced by the
roots of the plants, but this can be
done most effectively only when the
soil is in fine condition and every por-
ton of it within reach of the plant.

In paper read before the Missouri
Horticultural Society, a practical or
chardist said: No tree should have
more fruit on it than it can hold up
well and mature to perfection; that is
to say, that the trees should not be
loaded as to require their being
propped, or so much that the branches
bend very severely. This checks the
growth of the fruit to such an extent
as to iniure the quality.
Every time tree has too much fruit
it weakens its vitality to such an ex-
tent as to require two or three years
to recover, or so checks its growth that
it begins to decline and is permanent
ly injured.
In the production of an over crop it
costs the tree more to ripen the seeds
than to make the fruit.
If from tree heavily loaded there
is taken one-half or even three-fourths
of the fruit, there will be more bush
els of fruit than there would be if all
were left on the tree.
By this practice there will be less
poor fruit upon the market, and the
good will bring better prices and give
infinitely better satisfaction.
Thinning makes the fruit of much
better quality, makes it keep longer,
and produces finer, handsomer, more
attractive and much more desirable
and salable fruit.
When orchardists shall look upon
thinning as important as cultivation,
pruning, care and attention, they will
succeed in supplying our markets with
perfect fruit and of the very best quail.

Glover Hay for Dairy Stock.


There can be no question but that
clover is the best-yes, the very best
hay for dairy stocks of all kinds-the
calf, the heifer and the milch cows,
fresh or dry, says a correspondent of
Prairie Farmer. Good clover hay is
almost good enough without grain to
keep a COW in milk and in good con-
dition. 1t will keep the heifers and
dry stock very nicely. OF course, if
we have no clover hay other kinds of
hay or forage may be substituted if
properly balanced with grain. / once
brought bunch of heifers through the
winter to early spring calving on two
year-old wheat straw, but L fed very
literally with oil meal. The next best
hay for cows that l have found has
been very early timothy, cut while it
was very green and just commencing
to bloom. once had few loads of
Hungarian millet that was a great sue
cess. l had sown it early in June,
but the weather and ground was so
dry that it did not sprout until we had
had a good rain in July; then it came
up aud grew nicely. 1t began to head
when there was danger of frost, so
cut it and put it away in very good
condition, well cured; it retained its
bright green color until fed out in the
winter. The cows would fairly gorge
themselves with it, and the butter
from the milk they gave had the June
flavor and color. Sometimes having

fairly well when we'll cured, but [
found them difficult to cure. Mine
grew yer yrank and contained oomuch
sap and was so thick on the ground
that L found it quite impossible to dry
them. L have also cut wheat and rye
for hay but the cows ate very little of
1t, 1t being not much better than straw.
l once had an experience with peas.
Perhaps my poor success was partly
due to my ineXpeTience. L planted
them on quite rich ground, and they
grew very luxuriantly, and were prob
| ably four feet tall before they fell
down. There was too great growth
to cure as they should; however, |

helped me tells me yet it was the hard

long and tangled that whole windrow
would hang together. They proved
too strong a food to be fed as liberally
as other hay. That information j
gained at the cost of a registered Jer-
sey heifer and a colt nearly three years
old. l have grown peas with oats with
better success. If the peas ripened al

always better TO make the main de-

others when compelled by necessity.
Glover is no doubt the best hay for
dairy stock in regard to its worth rs a

also the most cheaply produced of any
kind of forage planted especially for
that purpose. 1t is easily grown, it
cleans the land of many kinds of
weeds, it enriches the land and puts il
in ideal mechanical condition for
growing other crops, and its yield
ranks among the first in point of
quantity per acre. Two crops are most
