Transp1anting Vegetables.

In setting out cabbage and celery the
top should be shortened severely so as
to lessen evaporation. This will make
a very vigorous growth, beside prevent
ing the setback which a withered leaf
on transplanted plant always gives.
With each transplanting there will
come a large mass of roots, so that aft
er being twice transplanted the cab
bage or other vegetable will grow with
out any perceptible check. If the
weather is not suitable heel the plants
in, covering tops and all for two or
three days. Then the roots will be
ready to grow at once.

Shade for Cows.

The fact that with good pasture a
COW is able to eat as much in a few
minutes as she can digest in several
hours is not properly appreciated by
most farmers. If it were they would
at least provide shade trees in their
pasture lot, or, better still, have a cool,
darkened room where, after eating her
fill, the cow can lie and contentedly
chew her cud secure from the attacks
of flies. 1t is the digestion of food rath-
er than eating it that fills the milk pail.
Yet we have known farmers who cut
down shade trees in the pasture be-
cause, as they expressed it, the cows
would lie in the shade all through the
day, only eating at night and morning,
when air is cooler and the grass is like
ly to be moistened with dew.

DRYING Wet Grain.

All who are used to handling either
brick or tile, know that when thorough
ly dry they will absorb a great amount
of water without being saturated. Adj
vantage is taken Of this fact by grain
dealers and farmers, who place dry
bricks which are easiest to handle and
least likely to break among damp grain
to prevent it from heating. 1t is sur
prising what an effect this will have if
a very few bricks are fnterspersed
through the heap. Each brick will abb
sorb fully half pint of water if it is
dry to begin with. This viii dry out
the surplus moisture out Of a good
many bushels Of damp grain. This
might be used in moving away damp
hay or grain in the bundle, though in
neither of these positions is there SO
much likelihood of injury as there is
where threshed damp grain is closely
confined in bins.

When land is plowed for winter grain
after midsummer it needs all the mois-
ture that the soil when plowed, and
good deal more, to make good seed

sides making a hollow beneath, which
also helps to dry out the soil above 1t.
Early in spring, when the land is cold,
this large exposure to the air, which is
then warmer than the soil, may be ben
efcial. Even then we never wanted to
let the furrow lie more than one or two
days without putting in the harrow
to break up the clods formed by the
plow, and which, if they dried in that
state, could not be made into a good
seed bed that season. But in late sum-

Hints on Canning

Rubbers should be in good condition.
Or new.
Only the best granulated sugar should
be used.
Do not use cans made from tin, but
large-mouthed glass Jars.
Where large quantities of fruit are
to be earned do not cook much at one
time-not over two jars at each cook
ing.
Stirring destroys the shape Of all
fruits, and if not stirred the upper
layer might not become thoroughly
heated, and under such circumstances
would not be sterilized.
To prevent breakage when filling the.
fruit jars, the jars should be slipped
sidewise into a kettle Of hot water.
rolling them SO that every part may be
quickly and uniformly heated.
After sealing the jars should be piac-
ed out of a draught over night to cool.
Many housewives stand the Jars upside
down to cool during the night. If no
juice escapes the fruit is properly seal
in cool, dark place.
When filing the cans they should be
set in a preserving pan on a folded
damp towel. If the fruit is small it
should be poured into the jar through.
the funnel filling it quickly to over
flowing. II the fruit is large it should
BIT put into the jar with wooden
spoon, arranging the fruit so that the
weight of one piece will not destroy
the shape Of another. A heated silver
knife should be run around the inside
of the Jar to break any air bubbles that
may have caught with the fruit

Cleaning After Grain Harvest.

Cleaning After Grain Harvest.
It Is a great mistake to let any stock,
except poultry, CLEAN after the grain
harvest has been gathered. The poach-
ing of the soil and injury to young
clover, caused by other stock running
over the fields, more than offsets what
good the stock can gain by gathering
the wasted grain heads. There are
very few wasted heads In modern grain

and life just when the possibilities of life
seem greatest. Some slight disorder, care
lessly neglected, is reinforced by other kin
dred troubles. Indigestion, indicated by
sourness of the stomach, fatulency, heart
burn, and distress after eating, are followed
by disordered liver, constipation, headaches,
kidney disease, loss of appetite, nervous
ness, debility and loss of flesh. Loss Of
flesh prepares the way for the most serious
consequences. Weakness from any cause is
an invitation to consumption. The germs
of consumption are in the air and in our
food-in the water we drink. They are ev-
erywhere. But they are harmless to the
perfectly healthy body. 1t is only when
the body is weak that they do any harm.
