When a young girl

dences of womanhood, 1t

Useful Farm Items.

A stable floor that is smeap and SER
viceable may be made of stiff clay by
adding One-third clean gravel not larger
than marble Mix to the consistency
of thin mortar, put it on the floor or
ground surface, after smoothing 1t down
well, eight or ten inches deep and pound
down hard. Go over 1t every few days
and pound down solidly any portion that
shows a tendency to crack, until all Is
hard. Such floor will last for years,
and IL plenty of bedding is used is not
apt to get muddy.
ThrOOps is trouble prevalent with
young pigs and is due to feeding too
much grain and giving too little eXer-
else. Feed grass literally bran and
middlings lightly, and turn the pigs out
where they can run. They should be
forced to take exercise, which will do
them more good than anything else.
II returns from the commission man
are not what you expect, look into the
matter OF expenses before you charge
him with being a rascal II freight is
20 cents a bushel on anything that is
likely to sell for less than dollar at
wholesale, it may be that you cannot
afford to ship that particular crop, for
with carriage and commissions added,
your returns are not likely to be enough
to much more than pay the expenses,
Shipping produce to city markets is all
right II the market prices for the crop
will warrant the expense for transpOr-
tation and commissions for selling.
little patience is required to teach
the calf to drink. Don't drag him to the
pail and forcibly put his nose into It,,
for you will only succeed in frightening
the animal better way is to set the
pail of milk into box so that 1t cannot
be tipped over, and gently coax the calf
to 1t. Dip your fingers into the milk
and let the calf suck them, gradually
putting your fingers into the milk and
then withdrawing them as the calfs
nose touches the fluid Two or three
trials will accomplish the desired result.

Destroying MOles.

There Is scarcely a locality In the
country where mOles are not more or
less troublesome, and a dozen or more
methods are used for catching and kill
ing them. Now and then defender OF
the little fellow will protest against his
destruction, and convince some farmer
that possibly the mole is not 80 for
Maldable as they had thought. The late
Professor Riley for many years United
States entomOlOgist, was a staunch
friend Of the mole, and he brought
strong proofs to bear in favor OF the
animal. One Of his experiments was as
eollows; A strong box was filled with
,,arth and a half dozen moles were put
In II, together with quantity Of worms,
bugs and various insects and pieces Of
vegetables OF various sorts, all being
pretty we'll distributed through the soil.
AT the end of six weeks the mOles were
released and the soil carefully looked
through. Every worm and bug gone,
but not a piece Of the vegetables had
been touched.
With these facts before him 1t was not
strange that the famous bug man" was
q friend to the mole. AS matter Of
fact, no one Of intelligence has claimed
that mOles destroyed or ate roots or
bulbs. In France the killing Of mole
Is punishable by heavy fne. The main
trouble with the mole is his habit of
burrowing. and he is responsible for
many ruined lawns and honey-combed
gardens, and It Is we'll known among
farmers that mOles will follow row of
listed corn and destroy every kernel of
the seed so as to neCessitate replant-
Ing. It Is therefore necessary, some
times, to get the best OF him, and this Is
more easily done with poison than in
any other way. A few kernels Of sweet
corn soaked in arsenic or in rat poison
thAt is composed mainly Of arsenic,
dropped into the runs made by the
Ei0les will eSfeCtually dispose OF them.

Asparagus Bed.

The soil for an asparagus bed should
be made rich before planting it. In the
first place, the bed should have good
drainage, and then 1t should have dug
into 1t heavy dressing OF old manure.
Do not use fresh manure, as this will
be filled with weed seeds, and besides
it is not so well adapted to plant nutri-
ment as old rotted manure. Having the
soil properly prepared, trenches should
be opened about six inches in depth and
the plants set in these trenches, spread
ing out the roots on the bottom Of the
trench in every direction. This done,
begin to fill in the soil, which must be
fine and capable Of sitting down closely
among the roots. After filling in two
or three inches Of soil, tread it down
firmly on the roots, and then finish fill
ing it in. Never allow any weeds to
grow among the plants. To maintain
the fertility supply coating of old ma
nure, two or three inches in thickness
over the whole bed every fall, letting ii
lie on the surface where the rains can
soak it and wash it into the soil. In
the spring what is left can be lightly
pointed in so as not to disturb the roots.

Fire DEPARTMENT Horses.

The following just tribute to the skill
and genius of the Kansas City fire de-
partment comes from way down east,
and being taken from so reliable a jour
nal as St. Nicholas its accuracy will be
unquestloned:
The quickest horses in the word were
at one time in Kansas City, at the
headquarters Of its fire department, di-
rectly under the Office of its chief, Mr..
George G. Hale. To Mr.. Hale's genius.
more than to any other factor, the Quiok
horse owed his first development; Tor
Mr.. Hale is the inventor of the earliest
swinging haTness-which made the
quick horse possible. When Mr.. Henry
M. Stanley and his wife were in this
country they witnessed an exhibition
drill OF the Kansas City fire department.
The drill so impressed the visitors that
an account Of it was published in a
London journal, and this English article
brought an invitation to Mr.. Hale to
visit England as the representative Of
the American Fire Service at the Inter-
national Fire Tournament.
Mr.. Hale and picked corps went to
England, taking with them the remark
ably quick horses Joe and Dan, and by
their exploits they soon became world
famous AS the quickest Harvesting
time Of the London fire brigade Is one
minute seventeen and one-half seconds,
and the Kansas City horses were har-
messed in one and three-Quarter sec
onds, and were out of the engine house
in less than eight seconds, there could
be no competition. In Kansas City four
fine bays were harnessed to the hook
and ladder truck almost as quickly as
even Joe and Dan could jump into their
harnesses. 1t was a pretty sight to see
these four well-kept horses spring to
their places at the stroke Of the gong,
and in two or three seconds stand ready
to run with the apparatus. Joe was
killed by an accident, but Dan, with a
new mate, is still in service, and as
quick as ever.
The record for quickest time from the
engine house to the throwing Of water
on the fire is held by Kansas City COM
pany. In this instance the horses were
harnessed run Of 2,194 feet Ia little
less than half a mile) was made, and
water thrown from the hose in the won
derfully brief time of one minute thirty
one and One-half seconds.

Thinning Fruit Orchards.

While thinning all fruits Is advisable,
Il is especially so with orchard fruits.
We hear much talk, in these days, OF
overproductiOn OF fruit, but 1t Is SAFE
to say that the OverproductiOn Is con-
fined wholly to inferior or ordinary
specimens and not to the best or ex-
ira grades. AS all fruit growers well
know, II is impossible to get a full crop
OF strictly flrst-class fruit. Quantity or
quality must be sacrificed, and when the
competition Is confined almost wholly to
medium or inferior grades 1t Is surely
good business to grow and market only
the best specimens. Aside from the
financial advantage in growing and
marketing only the best, there Is a de-
cided increase in the raVages OF fungous
diseases on trees from which the fruit
has been thinned. II in thinning care
is taken to remove the poorest speci-
mems those remaining will, by reason OF
the increased food for growth, be
stronger and better able to Withstand
attacks OF disease and insects. On
thinned trees the quantity Of windfalls
Is less, and many Of the delicate favored
varieties may be wholly ripened on the
tree, a decided advantage when the
fruit is Intended for a nearby market.

dairymen learned that the laws Of for
eign countries are more strict on that
score than the laws Of our own country
and that the only results possible to
come from shipping adulterated butter
to Europe will be its ultimate dlsbar-
ment from that country. We need more
stringent laws in this country on this
score, and especially to cover the manu-
fscture Of butter substitutes, no matter
what name they go under The French
law prohibits coloring spurious butter
requires all makers Of margarine or ole
omargarine to register and to specify the
ingredients of their product. No COM
modify not exclusively composed Of the
coIs tituents of milk or cream with or
without salt or colOring matter can be
sold, imported or exported under the
name of butter, no maker of butter is
allowed to keep the spurious product on
his premises, and these commodities can
be sold only in the special portions of
the market set aside for them. II dairy
men throughout this country would com
blnc a similar law could be enforced

Science In Farming.

Science is constantly investigating
certain subjects connected with cattle
feeding that help the farmer to under
stand his work better. An intelligent
farmer who does not avail himself of
the conclusions and researches Of science
deserves to receive sharp rebuke in the
way OF disastrous experience. 1t some
times happens that farmers have been
pursuing a certain course without
rightly knowing exactly why, and when
science comes in and confirms the ex-
perience somebody is apt to laugh at

Turkey Raising.

Coops occupied by young turkeys
should be frequently moved to fresh

Of turkeys, and from filth comes that
aother enemy, lice, which are RESPONSE

young turkeys that die. Never allow
yOpng turkey to get wet Feed them
nothing for the first twenty-four hours
after Matching. See that both they and
the mother are free from lice before
hey are put in the coop. Grease the

The Oat Crop.

To get the greatest possible good from
the Oat crop it must be cut early. Like
grass, the stalk Of the oat upon maturity
loses the rich juices which characterize
1t earlier. These juices are changed into
woody fiber, which is of little value for
feeding purposes. In fact some horses
cannot at all, with safety, eat such
straw.
When the milk in the berry of the Oat
has begun to harden a little I like to be-
gin cutting. l do not want the straw to
become dry and brittle before putting up.
The sheaves are placed in shocks Of ten
each, eight being ranged two and two,
and the other bundles being used as
caps. These bundles are spread open
by taking hold Of the tops of the grain
and drawing it down toward the band
until half the sheaf has been thus
treated. One of them Is placed over one
end of the shock, butt upward and point
ing toward the middle, and the stem is
placed on the opposite end. Sometimes
put small stone on top Of the caps
to hold them on in case the wind should

stands for week or ten days, depending
again on the weather. By this time the
shocks will be ready to draw in.
Oats cut in this way are full of sub

as good a feed as hay. Horses will do
