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 wit en-
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 well 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 a sharp steel rake or prong hoe, and,
in the field, a 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 tilth
With all crops the cost of cultivating
is quite an item. and when the condi-
ton of the soil viii 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 cultiYatDr 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. Onoe the plants
get well started to growing, it is com
paratively easy to keep them growing.

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 farm that is only partly un-
derdrained than his inability to decide
just where the old drains ara 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 drain
had been careful to make a recort' of its
location.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Situate your buildings on an emin-
ence, and never in a hollow.
The man who lets his work drive him,
If he can help it, is slave.
Have the courage to thin your fruit.
You will lose nothing, but will gain.
Do you know where things needed in
spring work are? It will save you time
to find out now.
A smoking manure pile means loss of
ammonia. Open up the pile, or better
cart it to the land.
DON'T cultivate any more land than
you absolutely have to, which means
better cultivation and less land.
Make a study # what will be best for
the road before you try to improve it.
Sometimes one of the worst things is to
build a road up in the center.
In tests with Irish potatoes, deep
