CHANGING PIana

The farmer who is continually chang
ing his breeds of stock or his favorite
crops is very seldom a money-maker.
He is apt to find out that he made the
change just little too late. He sees
some one making money on beef cattle,
and he abandons dairy farming to breed
fat cattle, only to learn that he ought to
have bred hogs. He tries hogs, and be-
comes convinced that sheep are more
profitable. He gives up a crop that he
knows how to grow to take up some
speciality that his neighbor has found
a profitable one, and few years ex-
perience teaches him how to grow 1t,
but 1t also teaches him that he could
have bought his experience much
cheaper. We do not mean that a man
should not change his breeds of stock,
his crops or his methods of farming,
but he will do well to make his changes
gradually. and not part with a good
thing every time he thinks any one else
has better thing.-Exchange.

Cure for Collie in Horses,

When horse takes the collie, procure
some gunpowder containing saltpetre,
which acts upon the Kidneys. Char
coal and soda, which act on the stom-
ach and the intestines. To give relief
drench the horse with this; or, better,
take saltpetre, alum, charcoal and
laudanum, equal parts, and make a
drench and give the horse. These are
all safe with the exception of the laud-
anum. Be careful not to give over an
ounce of the laudanum. Keep horse
well blanketed and in good warm sta
BILE. See that he is not driven hard nor
overheated, as this will cause collie;
also, see that he has plenty Of water,
but not too much, and feed.-H. A.

Wooden Walled Cisterns.

Cisterns made in the form of a large
tank and let into the ground possess
several advantages over the walled and
cemented affairs, aside from the first
cost. While a good cemented cistern is
hard to improve upon, 1t is fact that
there are but comparatively few that
do not leak water out or in. And where
a crack is once developed, it is next to
impossible to stop it so that water will
not pass through. The first cost of a
wooden clstern that will hold seventy
five barrels will not exceed $25. And
then the expense is stopped for If well
made of the right material there will
be little danger of leakage. They seem
to give the best Of satisfaction where in
use.-J. L. Irwin.

ALABAS IN
WHAT "KALsoMINEs" ARE.

Kalsomines are cheap and temporary
preparations, manufactured from whiting,
chalks, clays, etc. They are stuck on
the walls with decaying animal glue. Ala
bastine is not q kalsomine. It is a rock
base cement, which sets, and it hardens
with age. 1t can be re-coated and re-
decorated without having to wash and
scrape off its old coats. Alabastine is
utilized to q great extent in hospitals, as
it prevents the accumulation Of dirt and
the congregating of disease germs, being
disinfectant in It's nature.

WHAT ALABAsTINE Is.

Alabastine is the original and only dur
able wall coating on the market. IL is
entirely different from all kalsomine
preparations. Alabastine is made ready
FOR use in white or fourteen beautiful
tints by the addition of cold water 1t is
put up in dry powdered form, in pack
ages, properly labeled. with full direc-
tions on every package. 1t takes the
place of scaling kalsomines, wall paper
and paint for walls. Alabastine can be
used on plaster. brick, wood or canvass,
and child can brush 1t on.

Making a Garden.


"A good garden is half the farm"
says one writer, and 1.-THE garden fur
nishes about one-half of our living in
summer, and its products are on the
table every day In winter" says an
other, and neither of them is a vege-
tartan, though with liking for fresh
vegetables and fruits in season. To
have good garden the first requisite
Is a piece Of strong but well-drained
land, well MANFRED. 1t should not be
shaded with trees, nor should 1t be on
northerly slope. If possible to get a
southerly. or easterly slope. Certain
crops belong in a permanent garden,
and may be in one place for several
years. The pie plant, asparagus, the
bush fruits and grapes or peach trees
may be on the south side Of a high
board fence at the north end of the
garden. In front of these the hotbeds
and cold frames may be permanent fix
lures. Onions do well for many years
in the same locality, and so will celery
or carrots, though not so long. Sweet
corn may follow sweet corn for many
years in the same place, and so may
peas, but If it is desired to put in an
other crop after peas or early corn, it
is not so easy to find the late crop that
grows well two years in the same To-
cality. Cabbages and turnips certain
ly will not For this reason, when on a
farm, We preferred to move our gar
den, or at least the peas, corn, vines
of all kinds, beans and all roots to
new location every few years, or so
often that we did not have the same
place oftener than once in FIVE or six
years. Even for such crops as lettuce,
spinach, kale and dandeiion a new To-
cality is better than to continue them
for many years, though sometimes
they can be changed about with other
crops. But with only village lot one
must change about, or omit some crops
for few years to get insects and
fungous diseases out of the soil. II

sure to obtain good seed from reliable

Sailing Their Land.

Salting Their Land.
Two farmers living near lola, KAN,
have received a 40,000-pound car of
salt from Hutchinson, which they will
use on their farm. Both have extern
sive farm interests which they look
after themselves, and they propose to
sow the salt with oats, wheat and fax,
on the theory that land so treated is
given the chemicals required by those
grains and in the belief that chinch
bugs will shun, the fields. Some of their
impractical town friends have rather a
hankering for the belief that wheat so
treated will grow loaves of salt-rising
bread. At any rate the test is one
which will be watched with interest.
and the farmers may reap good re-
turns from the 500 or more invested
by these gentlemen in an experiment.
