NOTES IN SEASON.


Whenever it is possible to get special
customers for your butter to be sup
piled regularly, it is the most profitable
method.

The time may not be far distant
when land with good forest trees upon
it may be more valuable tina tillable
land. a wise man will be getting ready
for this by planting timber on rough
and waste places. There are thousands
and thousands of such vacant acres.
AS their gr~andfathers did, raising the
same crops in the same way, keeping
the same stock and feeding it in the
same amer, putting with the same
little leaks, waste of feed. waste of
manure, waste Of labor, many of the
present generation seem TO be making
q living, but how much better these
same might do with the better meth

The bad butter comes from the farm
where the maker is ignorant, dirty or
careless, where the cows are MIXED
at the convenience of the hired man.,
where the milk is strained into the
creamer when the hired girl gets ready,
where the cream is removed any time
within one TO four dayS-in short,

a Michigan Deach-grower is success
fully practicing a renewal system with
the peach similar to thai so familiar

trees very low and the e is spread
until age begins to tell on it-say four
or five years. Then the central stem
is allowed 10 shoot up, the old head is
pruned away and d new one formed
higher up.
1t is a common saying that more
men rust out than wear out. There is
a great deal of truth in this, for moth
ing has a greater tendency TO promote
longevity, with physical and mental
activity continued until late in life,
than the reasonable and healthy occu-
patton of both mind and body. The
farmers tools and implementS-and
this is a good time of the year to re-
member the fact-are affected in a
somewhat similar way. Where one i'm
plement is worn out in active service. a
dozen are ruSted out because of neg

portions of the body like the nose. ears
or fingers may be frozen. The follow

A young nan in this town
out of work, read of the cheap apples
in western New York. As a specula-
ton, he bought So4 barrels, advertised
them in the local papers and sold them
at a profit of $40. 1t would be posi-
bue to find a market for 5000 barrels
of apples in that same town before
next April, u nine-tenths of them
must be imported, because the farmers
of that country rarely raise more ap-
piles than they require for their own
supply CT fruit and cider. Yet, hun

idle within Easy hauling distance of the
market town. There are hundreds of
just such cases in this country. and
some of the very farmers who permit
these local imports to be made are
f~ierceSt in ~denouncing the imports of
food products from other countries. The
home market is the market to Guilt
Vate first of all.
