burning run a smoothing harrow over

little. this tears out few plants, but
does no harm to matted beds; it is
sometimes advisable after the harrow
ing to run a cultivatOr over between
the rows and loosen up the ground,
which helps to stimulate a new growth
more rapidly. What effect moving off
the tops and burning the field later in
the season would do l am not sure, but
the fruit crowns will be forming late
in August and early in September, and
would not think that burning over at
this season would be safe or advisable.
am rather of the opinion now that as
far south as Norfolk, where fruitage
was ended in May, that it would be bet
ter to defer burning until very early
next spring, sometime in late Febru-
airy or early March, when the ground
was dry enough, a quick fire over the
field might do some good. Some years
ago had an accidental fire get into an
old strawberry field early in spring and
burnt off the tops and a lot OF old hay
mulch and where this burning over
was the fruit was earlier and better
than where left undisturbed; still one
accidental success of this kind would
not be a guarantee that like results
would follow every such burning.

Farm Roads.

writer in an exchange says: The
load of wheat or hay that can be drawn
to the barn is measured by the worst
place in the farm road leading to the
barn This may seem small matter,
but it is not so on thousands of farms.
l cannot afford to have bad piece in
the road, because time and wages OF
men are going on while the team is
stalled or taking only three-fourths OF
a load to escape stalling. A days work
of man and team filling gullies and
chuck-holes, and doing little grading
of steep bluffs, would be worth twenty
dollars on a few farms with which |
am acquainted 1t would save wear OF
wagon, team and drivers temper, and
make it possible to increase the size
Of loads without danger of overload
ing. This work should be done thor
Oughly and on time. l prefer having
it done month before harvest, so that
some wear may make 1t smooth. These
are Details" but details count. A
man will spend half dollar to go to
a circus and be happy two hours, while
that half dollar expended in perma-
nently getting rid of some nuisance
would save him from being mad
month, if all the little vexatious times
could be showed together and be thus
measured.
