The red rust which often appears on
rye and wheat is the same that appears
earlier in TIE season upon the leaves of
the barberry bush. Nc have heard it
both asserted and denied that the same
rust attacks the cat, but never were
able to trace the rust on oats to the
direct vicinity of the barbcrry. as we
have that which appeared on rye. But

parts nf England they have very strict
laws, oAdiging this to be done. There
are probably some other plants upon
which his rust can be found, as 1t
is sometimes found on grain when
there is nos harberry bush for miles.
but where they are it always starts
on them before il does on the grain.
About the time the grain begins to

Sign Board Advertising.

If the farmer when he visited the
city saw nothing q the store fronts to
indicate what was for sale within, he
would think the merchants were very
much lacking in business ability. But
if he rides out through the country he
seldom sees anything TO tell him who
has a COW or pig, eggs or seed corn to
SELL and he must inquire and hunt
about it if he wants to buy, unless he
has CHANGED to hear before he left
home. 1t would be well for each farmer
to have near the entrance to his
grounds a blackboard on which he
could each week put an announcement
of what he may have to sell. or wishes
to buy. 1t would be likely not only to
help him dispose of his products, but
by bringing more customers, and some
farther away, enable him to>obtain bet
ter prices. 1t is cheap and very effec
tive mode of advertising.

Soaking Corn for Horses.

One who has tried it advises soaking
corn for horses. Have clean pail or
jar, and after each feed put in as much
corr as is intended for the next feed
and cover with cold water. AT feed
ing add little salt to this and give it,
then prepare the next. He says he does
this and has no trouble with sore
mouth or teeth from the use of hard,
fiinty corn. But we prefer to have the
corn cracked when we mix it with oats,
or ground fine and the meal put on hay
that has been cut and moistened. We
think itemore thoroughly digested by
the latter method If one is where he
cannot get his corn TO mill, the above
hin, may be of some value to him,
though We would prefer more than six
hours soaking if we trusted to that en-
tirely. Exchange.

hasten their work by putting the seed
in the ground TOO early. A depth of
two inches is deep enough for putting
seed corn, unless it is planted very late

and then possibly so little deeper, but
