The United States is about the only
country which has no established har-
vest customs. In some parts harvest
celebrations are held. but we have no
traditions such as they have abroad.
Much has been said Of late in regard
to the wholesomeness of apples, and a
Paris specialist says that women who
want TO have clear compilations ought
to eat three or four apples a day. They
act on the liver.
Clay makes a better stable floor than
blanks, for it contains little dampness
which conduces to good feed, and the
horse finds Irregularities In its sur
face. and by placing the heels on the
higher surface the tendous are relaxed,
giving them needed rest, while in plank
floors the slant Is backward, making
the animal stand with the tendOns al

The editor of the Wool aud Cotton
Reporter, Mr.. Bennett, of Saugus,
Mass, says that his farm in Freedom,
Me-, which he purchased and stocked
with sheep a few years ago. cut when
he began about forty-five tons of hay
Of an inferior quality. This year it has
cut nearly 200 tons Of the highest quail
ity. People laughed at him when he
began. but now he Is doing most of the
laughing.
Experiments In feeding and in COM
putting the value Of eggs show that If
no estimate is made for labor one dozen
eggs can be produced at a cost of about
cents for food, or about u cent per
egg. If all Of the food allowed to hens
was converted into eggs the profit on a
dozen eggs would be large, even when
prices are very low, but much depends
on whether the hens convert the food
into eggs, flesh or support Of the bodies.

products of via Land.

Aside from Its crop Of trees with
which uncultivated land is mostly Gov
cred. 1t also produces nuts, berries and
other fruits which are always IN their
season to be found in city markets. The
whortleberry and its near relative, the
huckleberry. are always grown wild, as
they need just the dampness and shade
that they find in forests and low, wild
land. But the wild blackberries and
raspberries still constitute a considera-
hle portion Of the fruit sold in city mar
kets. In most cases this self grown
fruit is regarded as the property of
whoever wishes to gather 1t. The
huckleberry patches are, however, often
reserved by owners Of the land, and
those wishing the fruit must pay for
IL or, as is usually done, dividing It
after II is picked.

The harvesting of apples is one of the
most important duties connected with
the crop. The time has gone by when
apples could be shaken from the trees
or picked up from the ground as wind
falls. The best success in keeping
them over winter is when not a single
apple in a barrel is bruised or injured
in any manner. Just as soon as the
skin is broken the apple begins to de-
cay, and for that reason they must be
carefully picked by hand and handled
in a manner to prevent the slightest in
jury as the decay of one apple will soou
affect all. Apples that are not perfect
" sound when harvested should not 60
into barrels, but be made into cider.

They are as easy to raise as chickens
If one has the right stock. But most
people pick out all the largest birds to
market at Thanksgiving and Christmas
and keep the small ones, with the i'm
preston, suppose, that they will grow
If given time. This is a great mistake,
as in a flock you viii always find few
better developed, bigger-boned birds,
and these invariably have the cOnstitu-
ton we need for breeding purposes. To
make a success select the best hens in
the flock; good deep, blocky birds, with
big bone and short legs, and dispose Of
the long-legged, loose-built ones. l find
the Bronze the hardest. but a cross
with the wild would perhaps still
further improve them. The biggest
drawback with the Wild cross is, they
are hard to keep near the home and are
easily frightened. Having selected your
breeding stock, which Is best to do in
the fall, winter them and let them run
out all the time.-Alex. Johnston.

Growing Corn After Corn.

In all Eastern corn growing the usual
rotation never allows two corn crops to
succeed each other without several
years intervening. The corn is always
planted on clover or grass sod, and
after 1t some small grain follows for
one or perhaps two years when the
field is again seeded, and after two or
more years the corn comes In the rota-
ton again. So If corn smut appears in
one crop it has no chance to propagate
except what Is blown into adjoining
fields, or is carried to the barn and SO
disseminated through the manure pile.
In the West the growing Of corn after
corn on the same land was continued
so long that the fields were filed with
smut and the land had to be seeded
down so as to allow the smut spores to
die out. Growing corn after corn also
developed the burrOwing worm. which
is Matched in the tips Of ears while ten
der. and eats its way into the corn while
in its succulent stage. This worm has
sometimes appeared in Eastern States
where great deal of corn is grown. 1t
is probably true that no crop can be ex-
cluslvely grown in any section without
sometime finding an insect enemy or
some fungous disease to destroy it. So
though two crops Of corn will not ex-
haust the soil more than would a crop
Of small grain after the corn, and In
most cases not so much, it is not best
to put them together. The corn stubble
/ is necessarily left naked during the fol
| lowing winter. and is therefore subject
ed to more freezing and thawing and
more washing away on the soil than If
the land were seeded quickly after it
