Growing Plants.-Care should be
taken to give plants air on fine days
and to avoid excess of heat, to KEEP
the foliage clean and free from insects
Hard wooded plants that are grown
on from year to year in pots, such as
oranges, lemons, camelias, ETC., may
now need a top dressing of fresh, rich
soil.
Grapevines.-It would be better that
the work of pruning vines in the gar

Planting For the Seasons Work.
Complete plans should be made while
there is yet some leisure for all the
various kinds of work to be done dur
ing spring and summer. These plants
should be put in writing and then fol
lowed through the season, deviatine
from them only as improvements and
necessary changes make it desirable.

,,.portance Of Cream Cream.

aRipening,'' for want of better
word, expresses the whole series Of
changes that take place in the cream
caused by the growth, nutrition and
death of bacteria, says writer in
Hoard's Dairyman. The flavor they
produce is the substance of things
sought for. The changes they produce
in the cream are certainly the evidence
of things unseen. but evidently the re-
suit in producing successfully the first
or last condition depends on to what
extent cooperation exists between the
dairyman and butter maker. No dairy
man is doing his whole duty when the
cream made from his milk is tainted
by the presence of dirt produced bac-
terra; no butter maker can do his duty
when he is compelled to receive such
cream, and, although the butter maker
may receive many hard words for not
producing 'sextras," the loss ultimately
falls where it belongs-.on the milk pro-
Queer The only injustice is that the.
loss does not fall on the dirty one alone,
but on his neighbors as well, on the
lust as well as the unjust.

dogs the visitor finds himself inside
bewildering mass of life and color in
kaleidoscope change. Add to this a
Tapping of wings and it becomes in
describably confusing. There are pi-
geons everywhere The shed roofs are
crowded with them; the ground is COW
cred with them. They rise in swarms
and darken the sun like cloud.
There is no attempt to breed pure
strains there, though the owner mar
kets the dark squads and saves the
light ones, the object being to eventual
~ make the whole flock light colored.
The white birds make better appear
ance when dressed and find more ready
sale. The flock is increased by hun
dreds every day in the year. At the
age of 20 days the squad is fully grown
and feathered, and if it escapes the
market it is soon on the wing. Each
afternoon johnson and his son go
through the buildings and take from
the nests enough of the fat squads to
fill orders for the next day. Early in
the morning they are killed by disjoint-
ing their necks, dressed and delivered.
The pigeons are well housed in three
large buildings. In each of the sheds,
running lengthwise and extending from
ground to roof, are tiers of shelves,
with narrow passageways between. On
these shelves, loosely placed, are little
square boxes turned upside down, with
small apertures for doors. These are
the nesting places, and the largest of
the buildings has 1000 inside and 1000
outside. The others have nearly as
many. But the pigeons form nests and
lay eggs everywhere, in the passage
ways, on the floor and even on the
roofs or in any stray nook where few
straws can be gathered together.
In one of the long sheds 1000 oil cans
are utilized as boxes, the sides and
ends being made entirely of them, laid
like bricks in a wall, each with the
open end inward. Through the center
of the shed runs q double tier of the
same material. facing opposite ways
and extending to the roof. In these oil
cans a colony of 5000 pigeons is COM
! fortably slowed away.
A remarkable fact in connection with
this place is that the pigeons rarely
leave the ranch, and ii is seldom that
, one of them gets beyond the high wire
fence which surrounds three sides of
the place. They are fed assorted grain
and screenings, and the cost of feeding
the $4,000 is about 81 day.

Persimmon seeds are very easily

have become very dry. it is possible
that termination will be slow. or per-
haps they will not grow at all They
should be mixed with sand. kept moist
all winter and planted in the spring

depth of one or two inches is about
right to cover the seeds. advises f. e.

1t is my opinion that dead, deep. fat
blowing causes sour land acids, the
home of the fungi, larvae, potato bugs,
scab, blight, rust, rot, bugs, Hessian
fly, ETC., also rusty and smutty grain.
Cut and cover blowing dries out sour
land acids and gives no home for the
above pests, doubles values and crops
on low grade lands, also greatly inn
proves higher grade lands For the last
five years have raised heavy crops
of corn on grass ground only half
plowed, without use of harrow, mark
er, cultivator, weeder or even a hoe,
and my corn has been very free from
weeds. Last year there were no bugs
or scab on my potatoes. They were as
smooth as oranges, while over the

his potatoes four times. says New
