When too much lanl is cultivated
the farmer is compelled to slight his
crors to certain extent, and what he
gains in area cultivated he loses in
yield. 1t will be more profitable to
cultivate only as much land as can be
given careful attention. The manure
that is sufficient for q smell field, and
which would increase the yield, will
give but little benefit on large ssur-
ace. Small farms permit of great
economy OF labor and can be made
more fertile every year.

All kin ds OF fruit trees aud vines
depend upon pollen for success IN pro-
duction. Some fruits that are well
supplied with theft own pollen VIII
mature, but When tee blossoms receive
nollen from some other source the frui'
,chts nearer perfection. Self -fecund-
ated pears Rave been known to he de-
ficient in iced, and plums OF the same
variety lave given the same unsat's-
fnctory re sults. Professor hunson, OF
the Maine Experiment Sutton, has
found that the size of tomato IS may
be quite dependent on the amount OF
pollen they receive while in bloom Que
receiving a l,rge amount growing tour
times as large as one receiving only
small quantity. The number OF H.
sect visitors in an orchard determines
t large extent the amount OF cross
pollination carried on, as the pollen OF
the apple and pear is not produced IN
sufficient quantity, nor of the proper
on1is 'ency, to be carried by the win ds.
Three or four varieties Of fruits shonld
be planted together; that is, three or
more varieties OF apples, the same OF
pears, etc, and every fruit grower
SHOULD have ut least one hive OF bees.
Prolifcacy of ewes should be merit,
as it is possible, by selection, to secure
fiocks in which the ewes will produce
two lambs instead of one. An English
journal reports 26 Aock', containing
2S46 ewes, which produced 1892
lambs, an increase of 155 per cent. A
breeder in Manitoba reports an eve
which produces three lambs every
wear, and her daughters are sustaining
her record. In connection with this
matter the fact must also be considered
that the ewes should possess the capae-
ity to nourish the lambs or it will not
be advantageous to have them produce
more than one at time.
The best remedy for lice in poultry

Drainage is not timply the carrying
away of the surplus moisture The
drainage prevents the accumulation of
stag nant water in The soil and deepens
the soil for the work of roots, thus
assisting to prevent evil effects durin
periods of drought. The soil is also
rendered much warmer, while the
penetration of the air brings oxygen
to the vegetable and mineral matter in
the soil and hastens chemical reaction +.
When a field is tile-drained it can be
slowed week or ten DAYS earlier than
wet places, which enables the crop to
get better start in lie first stages of
growth.
