Commercial Fertilizers Improved.

Fertilizers, during the past year
have been lower in price than ever be-
fore, and the indications are that they
will be even cheaper during the pres
ent year. The result of the cheapen-
ing of the chemical constituents has
been to raise the quality of the mixed
fertilizers somewhat above the mini
mum guarantee, and consequently
there are very few samples showing
deficits in their composition. Out of
AS separate guarantees only twenty
eight failed to either exceed the re-
quirements or come within the limits
of error in sampling and analyzing. =

Two WAYS of Farming.

by looking carefully over rural
community we see that not all farmers
and their families are abridged in
needed leisure and time for social
pleasure. This is because there are
two agricultural classes living side by
side. One represents the man who
drives his work, has little to complain
OF, ,and the other, one who lets his work
drive him and who is always bitterly
complaining. The farmer who does
not "get along" belongs to the latter
class. He makes many unnecessary
trips to town, and golden hours fit
by while he lounges. He does not
start to hoe his corn or potatoes until
the weeds are choking them, and the
grass in his meadow is past prime be-
fore it is cut. His work is proverbially
ten days behindhand from seeding
time till harvest, and his crops suffer
in consequence. This man takes his
leisure at the wrong time, right at
critical periods in the cultivation and
harvesting of his crops.
His more wise and consequently
more successful brother pursues an
opposite course. He meets half way
natures efforts to help him, and keeps
his work well in hand and under his
control. The care of his stock and
crops always receives first considera-
tion, because they represent his living
his bank account. While his negli-
gent brother is making those unneces-
sary and prolonged visits to town, he
is improving the golden moments by
a brisk, industrious and alert policy,
which will keep the cultivation of his
farm so thoroughly in hand that he
will have, besides plenty of leisure
for sufficient social enjoyment with
his family and friends, time pro-
vided his hours or days of leisure
are chosen at the right time.-Ohio

Fighting the Scales.

1t is estimated that the scales do an
enormous damage to the trees and
crops of this country, and while the
San Jose scale seems to attract some
attention it is not by any means the
only injurious insect of this class.
There are probably dozen''very active
and pernicious scales found in the
orchards of this country. All of them
do more or less damage, and the ques-
tion of destroying them is annually be-
coming more important one. The
Department of Agriculture has made
special inquiries and investigations
into the subject of checking their raw
ages, and since the German authori-
ties made such disturbance about not
admitting our apples because of the
scales ON them the subject has as
sumed even more prominence during
the present season.
Some interesting experiments have
been made to destroy the scales, and
we are likely to reap some benefit
from them. Whale-oil soap has been
said to destroy them, but it must be
admitted now that this merely checks
the scales and does not destroy them.
Moreover, it takes nearly as much
whale oil to check the scales as the
crop of fruit is worth. Inone orchard
in Maryland it took 5000 worth of
whale-oil soap to hold the San Jose
scale in check.
The real remedy promised is found
IN hydrocyanic gas, gas that is so
searching and penetrating that when
applied to the trees hardly scale es-
capes. 1t is death to every form of
life, and not expensive. The method
of application is to place tents or COW
erings, double oiled, over the trees,
and then liberate the gas under them.
The results so far are very encourag-
ing, for nearly every scale was killed
on the trees so treated.-W. E.

THE SONG OF THE SPANISH MHIN.

Out In the south, when the day is done,
And the gathered winds go free,
Where golden-sanded rivers run,
Fair islands fade in the setting sun,
And the great ships stagger, one by one
Up from the windy sea.
Out in the south, when twilight shroud
Hangs over the oceans rim,
Sail on sail, like floating cloud,
Galleon, brigantine, cannon-browed,
Rich from the Indies homeward crowd,
Singing Spanish hymn.
Out in the south, when the sun has set,
And the lightning flickers pale,
The cannon below their deadly threat,
The ships grind, all in a crimson sweat,
And hoarse throats call, ''Haye you strick
en- yet?"
Across the quarter-rail.
Out in the south, in the dead of night,
When hear the thunder speak,
'Tis the Englishmen in their pride and
might,
Mad with glory and blind with fight,
Locked with the Spaniards, left and right,
Fighting them cheek to cheek.
Out in the south, when the dawns pale
light, =
Walks cold on the beaten shore,
And the mists OF the night like clouds OF
fight,
Silvery violet, binding bright,
Drift in glory from height to height
Where the white-talled eagles scar;
There comes a song through the salt and
spray,
Blood-kin to the oceans roar,
All day long down Florez way
Richard Grenville stands at bay.
Come and take him If ye mayl''
Then hush, forevermore.

There is not enough thought given
to young things on the farm. 1t is
considered that they should grow
without care. In TOO many cases, the
weanlings are almost as wild as though
they were not included among domes.
tic animals. In the case of pigs,
lambs and calves, it IS advisable that
they should be given little meal OF
small grain such as oats, rye and corn
mixed, as soon as they will take it.
1t is surprising to note the avidity OF
pigs with sweet pure slops made from
meal and shipped stuffs, and the in
dependence acquired by the time their
mother discards them is highly graft
flying. By gradual increase of the
ration of grain or ground food, the
youngsters are weaned without any
reverses in their progress of growth.
The feeding process requires familiar
ity with humanity and relieves the
young creatures of any fear. The adj
vantages of gentleness among the do
mestic animals are too many to be
enumerated. Providing we'll bal
anced ration is also highly desirable.
The framework of meat producing
stock and the organs of digestion and
assimilation are better maintained by
a moderate grain ration once daily for
the thrifty growing youngsters. The
quality of the meat when 1t goes on
the market will be enough better to
more than meet the additional ex-
pense. With half ration of grain
once a day, larger number of young
things may be grazed on a given num-
Der of acres. This permits increasing
the amount of live stock; or on the
other hand, the increase of the acreage
of the farm for grain.
In the case of calves and lambs, it
is particularly needful that they be
provided while grazing with dry hay,
straw or fodder, which will enable
them to leave at any time the grass
and relieve discomfort of bloating
by eating the dry provender. Only a
small quantity of this is required to
prevent many of the serious ills which
come to the pasture grounds. Con-
venient access to drinking water must
be provided. If there is not flow
from natural stream, if possible ma
ture's liquid should come from a deep
we'll. AS a rule it is not advisable to
spare expense in having numerous
tanks or lengthy troughs, which will
enable the timid to satisfy as promptly
as their stronger fellows.
The returning prosperity of bust
ness warrants extra attention to the
colts. Four or five years from this
time, the tiny colt of this season will
be in demand. The requirements of a
mature horse at that time will date
back to the present.
Itshould be made thoroughly familiar
with men, women and children, as
well as many other things with
which, as mature animal, it will
come in contact. At six months of
age it should be as fearless of or
dinary sights and sounds as it ever
need be. A few moments patient at
tention to these details daily will ac-
complish all that is desired for the
future welfare of the little fellows
whom we are prone to neglect when
they most need the teaching which
their docility permits. Farm, Field

Military Justice.

Old Judge Dole, an early settler of
Pike, in the county of Wyoming, New
York, was a military man in his early
days, having, to quote his own words,
''Gt the BritIshers" in the war of 1912.
And he carried his habits of military
discipline into the management of his
farm.
One hot summer day his hired men,
FIVE or six In number decided to take a
nap after their luncheon of doughnuts
and pie. instead of setting to work
hgain ot havmaking. They selected one
of their number to act as sentinel ana
keep watch for the old judge, and the
rest of them stretched themselves at
full length in the shade of big tree.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, the
sentinel also yielded to the desire for
slumber, and at the end of ten minutes
was fast asleep at his post.
Just FIVE minutes later the judge ap-
pcarcd, to see how the work was go.
ing on, and he saw at once the state
of affairs. From. the sentinePs posi-
tlon the Judge knew what duty the
man had been expected to perform, and
without waiting for any explanation,
he proceeded to administer a sound
drubbihg with his stick.
When he had sufficiently admonishcd
tie sentinel, the old judge let him go
saying, "There, l guess that'll learn
you not to sleep on your post" And
without taking the least notice Of the
other sleepers, the disciplinariap
marched off. perfectly satisfied.

length and crawled forward until she
could grasp her friend. Then she slowly
worked herself back and had nearly
pulled the girl from the water when
others came to her assistance.
