Now that America is getting down

Now that America is getting down
to the earnest manufacture of automo-
biles it looks as if the history of the
bicycle were to be repeated. At first
English wheels took precedence and
early American wheels showed the eff

clumsiness. Later, American light
ness and mechanism won. The grow

AGRICULTURAL
Growing the Vegetable oyster.

One of the very best and least
known garden plants is satisfy or veg
etable oyster. This is very hardy
and is as easily grown as parsnips.
Sow early in the spring in rows
twelve or fourteen inches apart.
When the crop is wanted for winter,
take up late in the fall and spread in
boxes and cover with soil. The roots
will keep nicely until spring. They
probably shrivel somewhat, but when
placed in water will regain their natu-
raj appearance. Properly cooked
some people prefer this to the genu.
inc oyster.

Short and Useful Pointers.

Alfalfa yields from six to tenbushels
Of seed per acre.
You never heard of such thing as
q dairyman being too clean.
The dairy COW Is exactly what the
farmer brings up the calf to be.
Poultry pays when their habits, 6is-
eases and feeding is made a study.
Never milk with dirty hands, and
never allow the hired mar to do it.
All animals enjoy a clean, dry bed
at night. Plenty of straw is just the
thing.
The production of eggs is increas-
ing; but not SO fast as the demand for
fresh eggs.
There is no waste on a farm where
ducks are kept-that is, not il the
ducks can help it.
The average yield of apples through
out the whole country is less than
three bushels to the tree.
Allowing little chicks to run about
in the wet grass is a SURE way of get
ting rid of a lot of them.
Cutting feed pays. and cutting the
bedding is we'll worth the trouble. 1t
will absorb much better.
Some farmers are getting ahead OF
their neighbor in the yield of potatoes
by using the trench system.
Drought is bad; but to those who
use plenty of shallow culture it hasn't
the terrors that it has to others.
The hens that receive careful
handling, exercise and constant at
tention, are the ones who furnish the
eggs.
Careful feeding before calving, and
q good cleansing of the bowels i'm
mediately after. will usually keep Q
COW clear of milk fever.
Breed dairy heifers when they are
from sixteen to twenty morths old,
then they will be giving milk when Q
little over two years old.
Don't over feed the dairy heller
If you do she will become too fat
There is . happy medium, and this il
what you want to strike.
Dairymen should make it q point
t. have their stable in q healthy sani
tary condition, with the honest par
pose of furnishing to their customers
healthy milk supply.

TO prevent Rabbits barking Trees,

A good way to keep rabbits from
gnawing the bark from off the bottom
of trees is to make an ordinary white
wash comp osed of about one pound of
-four of sulphur to four pounds OF
lime. to which is added about two
ounces of fluid carbolic acid.
This mixture should be kept we'll
stirred while applying it with a brush
to the bottom of the trees. Apply it
literally up to q height of about three
feet or 80, and then the rodents cannot
reach above it-they will never gnaw
the bark where the mixture is applied.
After q rain it will no doubt be neces.
sary to make another application.
