The Farm Garden.

The garden is the most productive
acre of the farm. Ii it is not, it should
be made SO. It is the most indispen.
sable part of farm life. Half of our
living should come from our garden in
summer.
Not one-half the country people make
an effort to have o garden. There are
some that start out we'll in the spring
SOW an abundance Of seed and never
look at the garden again until they
think it is time they should have re-
suits. They take q look and canned
find any for the weeds have covered
the little plants. Then they come to
the conclusion that the seed did not
grow. They say all sorts of things
about the seedsmen, and NOW off the
weeds and wait until another spring
when they go through the same pro.
cess. Now this is all wrong. To keep
the garden clean we should begin early
and continue the cultivation until fall.
II is impossible to destroy all the
weeds while we are cultivatins the
early vegetables. Little patches Of
weeds around the garden will produce
seed enough to seed the whole garden
| next year. We should try to plan so
as 10 keep all the ground occupied in
| the garden. 1t will require but little
| more labor to cultivate cabbage OF
4urnip in vacant place than simply
| TO cultivate to keep down the weeds
You can SOW lettuce in July and ii
will be nice in the fall. Cabbage and
turnip can be transplanted into the
ground when the early peas and pota'
toes have grown; or you can set celery
Land beets for winter use. Keep all the
ground occupied. If clean cultivation
Is given, as should be done, the weed'

q good crop secured. Thinning on

dening; beets and carrots will not grow

The Horn Fly,

One Of our representatives writes
that the little black horn fly is again
appearing to the great annoyance of
the cattle and loss to the owners who
are anxious for practical methods to
prevent the loss OF thrift which follows
the discomfort which the fly causes.
When the fly first appeared in this
country about ten years ago, all sorts
OF wild stories were told concerning it.
Among other things it was said that
the fly ate through the horn, caused it
to rot and laid eggs in it which after
wards penetrated the brain. There is,
of course, no truth in such tales, but
the facts are bad enough, for the an
noyance to cattle is very serious and
prevents thrift in beef animals and
milk production in dairy herds.
A great many methods Of combating
it have been tried with more or less
success, those most effective consist.

AROUND THE BEND.

There comes a time just once week
When nothing matters much;
I'm waiting for step know,
A smile, voice, touch;
"He's coming, coming" sings the wire,
With sweet prosaic jar,
For Dick, my Dick, dear fellow,
Takes a common, five-cent car.
But never maiden rich and fax
'Mong cushions satin fine,
In gown of silk and laces rare,
Had dearer love than mine. =
So every Saturday wait
The happy moments when
His car comes swinging round tho bend,
And Dick has come again.
He glances up; know 1t, though
will not let him see;
For not yet may tell him
That | love as fond as no.
Then comes the bells far tinAle
And the maid S reluctant feet.
And then l hear him on the stair
And then at last--we meet.
My heart beats so cannot speak,
lie thinks me coy and cold;
1t is because of depths OF love
The which have not told.
But when the autumn leaves are crisp,
When snow has come again,
Dear Dick will be my own, my own!
Perhaps I'll tell him then.

"Not Worth q Rush."

When calling anything mot worth q
straw" one means to imply that 1t is
worthless. The older saying was, mot
worth q rush" and this brings out the
origin of the phrase. In the days be.
fore carpets 1t was the custom to strew
the floor with rushes. When guests Of
rank were entertained fresh rushes
were spread for them; but folk Of lower
that had already been used, while still
humber persons had none, as not even
being worth a rush."

applied with spray pump, has been
found quite useful, as it kills all the
flies it touches. Good results have
been secured with fish oil to which
about two tablespoonfuls Of carbolio
acid to the quart is added, the mixture
being applied with broad, fiat paint
brush, Two parts Of fish oil or cot
ton seed oil and one part of pine tar
is a successful application and the cost
is low. At the Mississippi F1peri-
ment Station this mixture was applied
to three hundred and fifty cattle at q
cost OF only $220. These suggestions
Indicate in general way the character
of the remedies to be used. Any OF
them require frequent renewal as they
only protect the cattle for from three
to six days. When dairy herds can be
confined in dark stables during the
day it is best to do so, care being taken
to keep the flies out.
The horn fly is propagated from eggs
lail in the droppings of the cattle, and
it is therefore good plan to break
these up when the droppings have be-
coa.e little dry. One peculiarly
about the horn fly is that it cannot
travel we'll unless it has cattle to ac
company. If, therefore, the farmer
can prevent the multiplication of the
fy on his own premises by the use O
tle remedies and by breaking up tn
egg bearing droppings, he is not likel,
to be much troubled, even though th
fly be numerous on the adjoining farm

One Good Kansas Law.

Tie Kansas Legislature has passed
one measure, at least, that appears
to have some merit. 1t provides
that all promissory notes made in
that state must be stamped by the
county assessor in order to make
them collectible. This law will
make it very difficult to hide this
class of personal property from
taxation. In every state in the
union the wealthy money lenders
have escaped fair share of the
burdens of government by conceal
ing their wealth from the tax
gatherers. AS result the owners
OF landed property and personal
property that can not be easily
placed out of sight have to bear an
unjust proportion OF taxation.
The Kansas law is a move in the
right direction, and is worthy of
imitation in every state in the
union. If all the states were to
treat the money lenders alike they
would gain nothing by withdraw
ing their capital from one state to
place it in another where their
operations could be more easily
hidden from the assessor.
