Improvement Called For.

There is no getting away from the
fact that improved conditions must
surround the dairy business for whatever
special productions cows may be kept
City milk must be healthful and perfect,
and must be guarded from contamination
by filthy surroundings at the stable and
on the way to the consumer. Butter and
cheese must come from the product oil
clean cows kept in clean stables, and
supplied with pure air and fed on health
full food A general demand is already
awake, and is sure TO continue to grow
for condition of cleanliness and purity
all along the line with these animal prod
ucts. 1t is useless for farmers TO oppose
his onward movement. for ii is sure TO
travel on and gain strength as it goes.
And il is right. The people should de-
mand pure and healthy milk, and butter
and cheese made under the most scrupu-
lous care in their surroundings.
Dairymen who keep the COWS and
make the milk must come to time in all
requirements. Ii is no use to hold back.
There are far more farmers among US
who are now keeping their herds in a
model condition-roomy quarters, pure
air, absolutely clean suuoundings--than
consumers of the product are aware of,
or than they get credit for from speakers
and writer's who, probably have not seen
the inside of COW barn since their boy
hood days. Still there are others who
need to give further attention to these
matters. They will be required to do it
by the advancing demands. So long as
there can be no lodging these require
ments, the sooner they set about the i'm
provement the better it will be ior them
in every respect.
One of the obstacles in the way of bet
ter quarters for cows is the narrow, con-
tracled tieups in the old fashioned
barns. Stock cannot be SO carefully
cared for or kept so clearly as where
there is more room. All farmers are not
ready to rebuild for the purpose alone of
providing enlarged room for their ami.
mails. There is a way out of this diem
ma, open to any one, however limited in
means. The tie-up can be enlarged and
made convenient and comfortable for
the stock at very small cost, and now is
favorable time to set about it. A few
weeks ago we showed the plan ola wide.
roomy and light tie-up built on to one Of
the old style barns. Another plan, cost
ing still less. is to widen the tie.up by
building on four foot extension outside
ofthe posts, leaving them without distur-
bance. This gives room behind the cat
tie for them and keeping them clean and
in order. The advantage of this simple
and inexpensive arrangement can hardly
be realized until it is provided. 1t is
impossible to care for stock and keep it
in proper condition in one of those
old, narrow tie ups. With this demand
for better methods comes the necessity
for roomy and convenient quarters. Far
mers who have not already provided such
should give the matter early attention.

Black Knot.

Black knot should be attended to ear.
ly, before it has had time to sow its seed
on other branches. 1t goes to seed in
early summer and the spores are blown
from one part of tree to another and
even 10 other trees in distant orchards.
1t is best to cut off infested small limbs
and slice off the knots from the main
limbs. The surest way with a badly
infested tree is to cut it off down to
where the main branches start and de-
pend on new growth entirely. This
new growth if carefully watched may of
ten be kept free of the disease. Do not
touch tender growth with the hands after
handling the knots as the seeds may be
carried in that way. Cover all the
wounds with thick pain or grating wax
Plum trees which are thoroughly sprayed
with the Bordeaux mixture are not likely
to be badly attacked by knots, but if the
disease has already gained a foothold,
other measures must be used as previous
ly described.

Peas for Orchards.

There is no drain that can be prohta-
bly, grown in the orchard except the pea,
A summer growth CT buckwheat may not
do any injury, but it does not enrich the
soil even when plowed under as does
the pea crop. Besides, the pea vines lie
close on the ground, and their large
leaves shade it just as it needs to be shad-
ed during the hot, dry weather of July
and August. Large as its leaves are,
the peavine takes very little moisture
from the soil. Usually its leaves are we,
with dew in the night, which runs off and
fertilizes the soil b. low, and also keeps
it moist. If the peas are sown late and
not cut, but allowed to lie on the ground
and be fed off by hogs, there is very
material gain in soil fertility over leav-
ing the land uncropped through the sea,

Growing Early Squash.

1t is not generally known as it ought
to be that squashes may be procured sew
eral weeks earlier than is possible in the
open ground by planting the seed in Gan
inverted sod and putting it in a hotbed
until the seed terminates. Then take it
out and set the young plant in the open
ground, where it is to perfect its fruit, en-
closing it with a box, which should be
covered with heavy mat at night to ex
clude the cold. In this way the squash
may be advanced several weeks in readi-
ness for market, and will sell for enou Oh
higher prices to make the experiment
highly profitable.
