Agriculture.

In all the Central and Eastern
States there are thousands of acres
which should never have been clear
ed, and which would now be more
profitably employed in growing tim
Der. These lands are too thin and
rough ever to have paid the cost of
fitting them for cultivation, and they
are cultivated now at positive loss.
They ought to be refOrested, or seed
ed to permanent pasture and left un-
disturbed.
1t is not an eXaggeration to say
that we throw enough away to keep
the average European. We croak
over the hard times, but the ma
jority of our farmers and labOring
men live like princess compared
with their brethren across the ocean;
they wsste every day that for which
men, women and children labor in
the fields to save in many lands.
The winter season is the best time
in which to dig wells. One dug in
the winter and furnishing plenty of
water will usually last during the
dryest summers without failing.
In all our planning ahead let us
not lose sight of the possibility that
we might grow more clover or al
falfa on our farms, If we arranged
for it, with the result of decreased
labor and increased income.
We did very eXtravagant thing

Sweet potatoes draw heavily upon
the soil and require much feeding.
If you intend To grow them next
summer, better select the plot now
and begin to manure it. In return
they will leave a great abundance of
vines to be plowed under, and will
do their best to restore the waste
fertility.
There are scores of farms through
out every neighbOrhood which have
ola buildings upon them, dingy and
weather beaten, which would be

destroy the germs of mould and the
insect life which thrives every

fences a coating will brighten the
whole farm and make the farmer
think a little more of himself and
his property.
j Moving the wheat stubble and
raking the rubbish into windows to
be burned is a custom too prevalent.
The clover will be all killed under
the windows, of course. All this
rubbish might have been of much
value If given right treatment in its
disposal. When burned, all the nj
trogen escapes into the air, and the

wasted, because collected In a few

Cleanliness is as essential in pig
breeding as in the dairy. Dairymen
have learned the lesson, but too
many swine breeders are still in the
old rut, accommodating filth and null
tiplying microbes.
In Central Europe there are coun-
ties where they have as many hogs
al they have inhabitants. This Ma.
ton is not yet on top as raisers of
swine.
Pigs thrive on peas. Sow the COM
mon varieties, covering them pretty
deep, and then harrow in about three
pecks of oats to the acre. The oats
will support the peas when growing.

While feeding clover the farmer
can always have supply for the
hens ready made by saving the
leaves and heads which fall off in
handling, and these he can cook
with the other ground feed used.
Or, If flock of hens is turned loose
where they can get at clover hay,
they will pick out enough for their
purpose without any trouble on the
part of the owner. No other green
food is better.
Hens do not naturally lay in win
ter, but if they are kept warm and
fed egg producing food they become
productive because we meet the
col diti0ns necessary to egg produc-
ton. 1t is the result of breeding
and feeding when we get eggs at any
other time than in midsummer.
The scraps of butuhering time are
worth about as much as anything
about hog; boil them up and dole
them out to the hens. 1t will quick
ly set them to singing.
A lover of hens is apt to feed them
literally, but it is not the way to
make them lay. 1t is never wise to
feed them with a scoop shovel.
IT every farmer in the land would
begin at once to breed pure bred
fowls, the value of the poultry pro-
ducts of this country would be at
least doubled.
Charcoal is an essential in the
hennery. Frequent feeds of charred
corn will prevent bowel troubles; if
the hens do not at first know what
it is and refuse to eat it, it will soon
be evident that it fills "a long felt
want
1t may cost little more to pro-
duce pound Of turkey than pound
of pork, when both are made from
grain, but we must remember that
the turkey gets most of his living
from the fields, devouring what
would have devoured the crops.
When we consider the value of tur.
keys as insect destroyers there is a
doubt as to whether they cost the
farmer anything at all. There is
never any question about a market
for all the turkeys we raise.
When bowel diseases strike the
poultry, put little lime in their
drinking water. Then, stop feeding
them and let them hunt for the lit
tie food they may get. Their RI
tiOns should be scanty for a few
days.

Cattle.

1t is agreed that cattle which are
of good milk breed take Oh fat
more readily, are more gentle to
handle, and that there is a sweeter
and more tender quality to the flesh
than with other kinds. Therefore,
cows of this sort make the best beef
stock.
The world growls over tough
steaks, but the butcher never puts
them on his counter from choice.
Tue growers best profit is from well
fattened beef, because the best profit
is in 1t for the butcher, and he will
buy it more readily and pay a bet
ter price for it.
A we'll tanned hide of Galloway
beef is almost equal to a buffalo
robe, and is worth from $40 upward,
depending upon the style and finish.
The long, heavy coat of hair gives
special value to that breed, and the
hide is sometimes worth as much as
the carcass.
Farm stock pays we'll at present
prices if of the better quality, but no
other pays for the food it consumes.
Car loads of scrub cattle go to the
markets still, and too many are con-
tent TO breed to scrub or grade sires,
while the prices for improved stock
are constantly improving.
Get good bull, and start right
without further delay. The farmer
can raise few steers for less money
than they can be bought for, and
they will be better ones than he
can buy. Make the farm support
more and better cattle.
So long as smooth, we'll fattened
youngsters will sell for the same or
a better price a pound than will
steers which are older, there is more
money in pushing them from calf
hood at an early market. The
market is always ripe for good,
young beef. The first year or two
of steers existence is the time
when the maximum gain is made
from the food consumed, and ifthere
is anything in the cattle business
you are then ready to get your share
of the profits.

mower. If necessary, there can be
a second or third moving.
1t would take $50 to pay for the
amount of ammonia which is often
ing 20 or 30 cows; yet all this value
could be held during the winter by
two or three tons of land plaster. A
pint day for each animal will be
sufficient, if sprinkled behind them
in the cutters so as to catch the
liquids. 1t has been shown that 100
pounds of plaster will retain 10
pounds of ammonia, each pound of
which is worth 10 cents. These
figures are something tangible, and
should set us to thinking.

Horticulture.

Branches of evergreen trees make
an excellent mulch for strawberries.
1t is not we'll to use anything which
will pack closely about them, lest
they smother during the thawing
weather of winter.
A wild hedge is detrimental to a
farm, while we'll trimmed one is
ornamental. If you have any over
grown, winter is the time to trim
them and to burn the brush. You
have no business with such work in
the spring.
We are demanding two crops from
the soil when we grow and harvest
grass or grain crop from the or
chard, and it will require heavy
manuring to make either crop profit
able.
The housewife can prepare an eX-
cellent fertilizer for her pot plants
while indoors by mixing one pound
of nitrate of soda, one of sulphate of
ammonia, one of phosphate of so da
and one and half pounds of sui
phate of potash. Get these from the
druggist in powdered form and
thoroughly mix. Dissolve table,
spoonful in a gallon of warm, soft
water, and give the average sized
pot about a teacupful once a week (;
put it on the soil, and not on the
plant. To protect young trees from
rabbits, some bank up earth about
them, and some apply grease; but
the former is too much work, espe-
cially if the ground is frozen, and
the latter method is not best for the
trees. The better way is to wrap
with paper or a strip of wire screen.
