If rose bushes mildew in hot, damp

Keep cut flowers fresh by clipping
the ends of the stems and putting

The green worms which eat into
rose buds can be kept in check to a

with powdered hellebore.
Keep vines we'll tied as they grow,
and they will not straggle off at loose
ends, to be broken by winds or tang
led among their own tendrils.
When the cacti have finished their
spring blooming the pots should be
plunged in a sunny border, and the
plants we'll watered and kept grow
all summer.
If the rose bushes become red and
rusty give them a thorough sprinkling
once a week with water in which has
been put handful of paris green to
a bucketful of water.
An occasional scattering of wood
ashes around the sweet pea vines will
help them, but strong fertilizers
should be avoided now, as they will
encourage the development of vines
at the expense of bloom.

Eorly-cut Hay.

We have often urged farmers to
keep a little of the best early-cut
hay and few roots to give their
animals in the spring during the few
weeks before they go to pasture. A
sudden change from cold to warm days
gives them, as it does us, spring
feeling, or tired feeling, and loss
of appetite so that they need to be
tempted with something better than
they had in cold weather While this
is important with all, it is most i'm
portant to the cows in milk, and next
in value for those soon to calve. and
for the ewes with lambs. We would
like all hay early cut, but where one
has large fields and not all favorable
haying weather some of it will get
a little too old, and perhaps have to
be cured too much to dry the showers

Proper Care of the Linen.

The best of linen will crack if folded
the same way each time that it is
ironed. By careful supervision this
can be avoided by folding in twos one
week and in threes another, and vary
ing the methods. A tablecloth will
give better appearance if the ridges
are smoothed out with an iron after
the cloth is laid. Many housekeepers
who do not like the appearance Of
folds iron them out entirely after the
cloth is on the table.
A table cloth which is to show the
creases should be folded lengthwise
through the middle, with the two
halves folded back in opposite direc.
tions, instead of together. This will
leave the two creases each side Of
the central one outward and II tching.
A liberal use of tea and tray cloths.

that the court officers who will be in

when the kings great uncle, George

The usual practice among farmers
and market gardeners is to give their
cabbage three hoeings and three cul-
tivatings, the cultivating always pre-
ceding the hoeings. Under good man
uring, with good seed, and the land in
good condition, and average season.
this insures a crop. But sometimes
the land is in overgrown condition.
The accumulation of plant food left
over Ivy preceding crops is something
We ~ not know land therefore could
not figure on. This, added to the
usual manuring, has jumped the cab
bage ahead so fast that soon after
their second hoeing they promise to
mature their heads earlier than we
planned fer In such case, we stop
right there with our second hoeing.
The wisdom of this is apparent as
soon as we get to the philosophy of
boeing cabbage. Why do we hoe cab
bage? The first and often the second
hoeing is mostly a weed-killing pro-
cess. but the third, as | understand it,
is really root-pr''ning process, by
which we throw the plant into bud
Cor head, just as we create bud de-
velopment in a tree by trimming in
its branches above ground. or its
roots below ground. If on the con-
trary our cabbage land is lacking in
condition, then it needs extra hoe
ing and cultivating in the early stage
of the crop. both to capture nitrogen
from the air and to help the roots in
their search for food.
The presence of twitch grass makes
another good and sufficient reason for
an extra hoeing, for while that thrives
no other crop can. Don't cut off the
grass with the hoe, or by the costly
work of digging it out, but hoe often

inches soil. and | will warrant from
experience that it will end its life

Sell the Fowls You Don't Need.

1t is said that if young pullets are
to be retained it will be an advan-
tage to sell all of the young males,
purchasing males desired from dis
tance. The mistake usually made by
some is in keeping all the chicks un-
til nearly or fully matured, thus in
creasing the cost for food without re-
ceiving compensation in any man
ner, as adult males seldom sell for
more than five or six cents per
pound. Such food as corn or wheat
should not be used exclusively for
growing fowls. Finely ground bone,
ground meat and cooked potatoes will
be more suitable than any other foods
for fastening growth and keeping the
birds thrifty and in good condition.

Handling Dairy Products in Hot Weathe

Handling Dairy Products in Hot Weather
A good deal of the success of dairy
ing in hot weather is knowing how
to handle the milk cream, butter and
cheese so that there will be no waste
through spelling. A successful dairy
should have it's liberal supply of ice,
and the dairyman who fails to make
provisions for this is pretty sure to
lose in the end. Very few dairies are
so situated that they cannot lay in a
stock of ice in winter which will meet
all their requirements in summer.
When milk is first obtained it needs
chilling as soon as possible, and "a low
temperature maintained continually.
Now, if we can check the growth of
bacteria sufficiently the milk and
cream can be kept indefinitely. Yet
some will have their cream spelling
within ten hours after milking, and
they will attribute their loss to bad
luck.
But absolute reliance cannot be
placed on ice. This is not the only
way of saving the milk and cream
posal Ice is necessary, but there is
something else more necessary. and
without which even ice is of little use.
That other thing is cleanliness. Now.
to some the idea of cleanliness acting
as a preserver of milk and cream may
seem a little absurd, but nevertheless
there is nothing so important in the
dot, III fha RI
milk pals are not thoroughly cleaned
and sterilized from the last milking
tens of thousands of bacteria will lurk
in the cracks and corners, and when
the new milk is poured in they will
swarm throughout the mass. The
bacteria are the direct cause of the
milk and cream souring. We chill
the milk right after the milking in
order to stop their multiplication.
Heat nourishes them and makes their
growth rapid. When the bacteria are
left in the unclean milk utensils thou
sands of them are Immediately mixed
with the new milk and they begin to
cause the fluid to sour. no matter how
soon the chilling process may begin.
Inore are only TWO absolute IDeCn-
DDS of handling the dairy products
successfully in hot weather, and by
observing them one is almost assured
of no loss. The milk should when
first obtained be aerated and chilled
This should be done as quickly as
possible. and in the most cleanly men,
ner imaginable. After aerating and
chilling the milk and cream should
be stored in the dairy, where the
temperature is kept at a uniformly
low figure. Beware of opening the
door to this storage room more than
will cause a warmer current to pass
over the milk and injure it. The next
requirement is to see that absolute
cleanliness is observed in the dairy,
and that every pan, pail and kettle is
washed thoroughly in hot water after
each milking. and just before using
any one of them for the new milk
sterilize it. This is simple enough.
Put all of them in boiling water. and
then any germs, bacteria or microbes
of air. dairy room or old milk will
be destroyed making the utensils alb
