EARLY CULTIVATION.
1T Means Much Hard Work, But 1t Is
Work That Pays for Itself More
Than Twice Over.

With all cultivated crops it is the
early cultivation that is the most impor-
tant. The weeds are easiest killed when
they first make their appearance above
ground, and if the weeds can be kept
down and the soil in good filth Until
the plants get well started to growing
it is much easier to maintain a good
growth. One decided advantage in hav-
ing the soil we'll prepared when the seed
is planted is that it will be possible to
begin the cultivation earlier.
In most cases when the cultivation is
commenced in good season in the gar
den sharp steel rake or prong hoe, and,
in the field, good smoothing harrow
will be found the best and most econom-
ical implements. Properly used, they
will destroy the weeds that may have
started up and at the same time will
fine the soil and keep it in a good filth.
With all crops the cost of cultivating
is quite an item, and when the condi-
ton of the soil will admit using them
in no way can the weeds be killed out
so effectually and the soil be so thor
oughly fined as when these implements
are used.
Then the cultivator can be used, TAX
ing pains to work as close to the plants
as possible. There is no advantage in
working the soil deep. Thoroughly stir
the surface, and a better growth can be
secured than by stirring deep, while
shallow cultivation is easier on man
and team.
Under ordinary conditions one good
narrowing and three good CIVILIZATIONS
should be given within the first six
weeks of plant growth. Once the plants
get we'll started to growing, it is COM
paratively easy to keep them growing.

SIZE OF SUGAR BETS.
The Small Kinds Are Richest in Sac
charine Matter and the Most Prof.
liable for the Grower.

At discussion upon sugar beets re-
Gently among the members of a Wiscon-
sin farmers institute Prof. W. A. Hen
ry, dean of the Wisconsin agricultural
college, said, concerning the size of
beets: THE best sugar beets weigh
about two pounds each. Do not try to
grow great, large beets, thinking they
are the best. Years ago when I was
looking up the beet sugar question in
California I had a conversation with
some of the officials of the Southern
Pacific Railroad company in their office
in San Francisco. l was urging upon
them the importance of beet sugar pro-
duction in California. Col. Croker, the
leader, showed much Indifference, say
ing that he had lost $4,000 in trying to
promote this very enterprise. I told
him that that was not necessarily a.
reason why beet sugar production could
not yet be profitable. Later on in our
conversation, when talking about Cali
fornia's wonderful productions, he said
that in his experiments he had grown
beets that weighed 20 or 80 pounds each.
AS soon as he told me this replied:
There, Col. Croker, is one of the rea-
sons your factory failed. You thought
large beets were good beets, when in
truth they are poor beets, and helped
wreck your factory. You should have
tried to produce small beets, but many
to the acre; and such, if grown proper
ly, would have been rich in sugar, and
these would have brought you success
instead of failure.'''

BLOOD POISONING.
A Nurses Experience.
She'd rather have one than three.

There are thousands Of people suffering
from blood poisoning who have almost
beggared themselves in buying medicines
from which they have obtained no help.
There are thousands of others who first or
last have tried DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla aud
found perfect healing. One of these
others, Mrs. A. F. Taylor, of Eng1evale,
N. Oak. relates the following experience:
"About two years ago, I nursed \ lady
who was suffering and finally died) from
blood poisoning. 1 must have contracted
the disease from her; for shortly after her
death, had four large sores or ulcers,
break out on my person. doctored for a
long time, both by external application
and with various blood medicines; but, in
spite of all that could do. the sores would
not heal. They were obstinate, very pain
full, annoying, and only getting worse all
the time. At last, I purchased six bottles
of Dr:Ayer's Sarsaparilla, thin king would
give it a thorough trial. Before the first
bottle was taken, noticed a decided i'm
provement in my general health; my ap-
petite was quickened, and felt better
and stronger than had for some time.
While using the second bottle, I noticed
that the sores had begun to look healthier

Locate the Underdrains.


Wherever an underdrain has been
laid, either map of the ground should
be drawn, or such other memorandum
as will enable the owner of the land to
always know where it may be found.
There is nothing more provoking to the
buyer of a farm that is only partly un.
derdrained than his inability to decide
just where the old drains are located
and what size conduit they have OF
course the drain, if in working order,
will show within two or three rods
where tile or stone may be found. But
to reach it then requires much needless
digging, which could all have been
avoided if the man who laid the drair
had been careful to make a record of its
location. 80 <Esz.s s -
