TIMELY FARM HINTS,

Clover hay is the best for the milk
COWS and the ewes with lambs.
Plan this winter to reduce the num-
Der of waste places on the farm.
Manure can often be hauled out
when there is snow on the ground.
One of the best places to apply wood
ashes is on the patch intended for po-
tatoes.
Especially fattening foods should be
excluded from that supplied to the
growing colts.
Generally the more compact in form
the farm produce is sold the better
the profit.
It is the amount of fat that cream
ing and churning will get out that de-
termines the value of milk.
There is no surer destruction to a
herd, however good, than that of
breeding to an inferior sire.
Keep well up with the manure haul
ing; it will save much time in the
spring when work is pressing.
There is nothing like good supply
of milk to make the work of the lamb
ing season light and pleasant.
Rye starts earliest and grows faster
than the grasses on the farm and is
well adapted for early pasturage.
High feeding, drying up premature
sly. or milking irregularly, weeds out,
clogs and contracts the milk of cows.
1T is not always the question of i'm
mediate returns which should govern
lis but the question of permanent gain.

SQUIRRELS in Corn Cribs.

Wherever SO uirrels are prevalent,
care should be taken to prevent them
from getting at the seed corn. It. is not
good plan to hang the seed corn
in the crib, as the open Slated
sides to allow ventilation the squirrel
can easily enter, and his agility makes
it impossible to keep seed corn from
him, no matter how carefully it is
braided and hung where neither rats
nor mice can get at it. The squirrel
does not care for the bulk of corn in
the crib. He is very dainty in his food,
ant! is sure to take that which is hung
up and carefully dried for seed. The
provoking part of it is that he destroys
far more corn than he eats. He cares
only for the chit or germ, leaving all
the rest as only fit for hog feed

VEGETABLE MOULD,
Commonly Its Value as a Fertilizer
Is Oyerestimated.

Commonly Its Value as a Fertilizer
Is Overestimated.
The value of vegetable matter in the
soil is very commonly overestimated.
If it is extra abundant in virgin soils
freshly cleared from forest it is sign
that the subsoil is wet and cold. Such
soils when first cleared are generally
less productive than they are after one
or two years of cultivation, which has
not only opened them to light and air,
but has also deeomposed some of the
mold and converted it into carbonic
ucid gas. There is, besides, a difference
in the quality of mold dependent on
what vegetation it is made from. That
in swamps is mostly from leaves of
trees and MOSES which have little ex-
cept carbon. Such soils are often made
very productive by applying to them
potash, SO as to cause more active de-
composition. The slow decomposition
of carbonaceous matter in water gen.
crates what is known as humic acid, and
which is very poisonous to the roots OF
plants.
Vegetable matter, which is highly
heterogeneous, heats rapidly, and it's car.
bon is so quickly burned out that it
makes very little vegetable mold, and
that on further exposure to air quickly
disappears. Hence on the richest land
there is often less vegetable matter in
the soil than there is on land which is
black with it only because it is cold
and wet. The application of nitro
genous manures hastens the decom-
position of vegetable matter in the soil,
while coarse, strawy manures turn to
mold that has comparatively little
fertility, but which makes the soil look
much richer than it really is Farmers
have too long been deceived by the idea
that it is the black soil that is always
the most productive, and especially if it
is black to great depth. Most such
soils lack potash or phosphate, and
often lack both of these before they
can be made proftably productive

FARM AND GARDEN.
POULTRY FOR PROFIT

No Danger That There VIII BE an
over Supply of Eggs. =
There are very few farmers who
realize how much money comes from
the poultry and eggs that are produced
on the farm. If they study the matter
up they will find that the hens in the
barnyard pay more for the food they
consume than almost anything else, in
fact, except the indispensable horse,
whose value is hard to compute; being
so much depended upon, so says writ
er in Poultry Tribune. The farmer can
keep hen for less than so cents per
year: This has been proven time and
again, and it is poor sort of hen
that will not produce ten dozen eggs a
year. The average price is about ten
cents dozen. Allowing the cost of
keeping is so cents, and that eggs aver
age but ten cents a dozen the year
through, it will be seen the income is
100 per cent. on the investment of keep.
If he keeps his poultry as he should
the average price will be nearer 20
cents a dozen than ten cents, for he
will get eggs in the winter when prices
are high. With all the increase in the
products of the poultry yards of the
country there has never been year
when we did not import eggs, and this
importation has not fallen off, except
as the tariff effected it, and the tariff
of five cents dozen did not cut off i'm
Portation entirely. The United States
is fast becoming nation of poultry
and egg eaters because the wholesome
ness of poultry and the relative cheap
ness of eggs as compared with meats
arc becoming better understood all the
time and the result is that the demand
for poultry and eggs grows nearly as
fast as the supply is increased, and the
average rises slowly year by year. No
one need hesitate about going into the
business of raising poultry from any
fear that there will be an oversupply. A
low price always meets an increased
demand, and this fosters an appetite
for eggs and poultry, which is satisfied
when eggs go up again, and the business
keeps on growing. It will keep on in
definitely, for poultry can and will be
kept with profit when the country is
much more thickly populated than it is
now.

The Cost of an Egx.

The cost Of an egg in the eastern
states is estimated atone cent, but this
depends on the prices Of grain. Ifmeat,
milk, cut bone, chopped clover and
cooked potatoes are given, the cost will
be less; not because the meat can be
purchased at less than the grain, but
because the feeding Of "a variety and
q balance ration will induce the hens
TO lay more eggs. The greater the
number Of eggs laid, the lower the
cost prcportionately, and it is pos
"sible to produce eggs at q cost Of only
half 9 cent each.--Fa arm and Fire

How badness begins.
How to prevent it.


Every person, male or female, shrinks
from badness. It adds to the appearance
of age and is a serious discomfort. The
cases are rare when the falling out of the
hair may not be stopped, and new and
healthy growth of the hair promoted. The
hair grows in the scalp like plant in the
soil. If plant fourishes, it must have
constant atteptienj it. must 4 be watered
where it is rooted. It's so with the hair.
Neglect is usually the beginning of bald
ness. Dandruf is allowed to thicken on
scalp loses its vita1ity: T h. hair, insu n
fciently nourished. begins to fade and to
fall. The instant need in such a case is
some practical preparation which, sup
plying the needed nourishment to the
scalp. will feed the hair, give it. strength
and so produce a strong and healthy
growth: All this is done by DR.. Ayers

BILE preparation for the hair that can be
