The Farmer who will Succeed.

There is saying that may be set
down as a truisn that whatever is
worth doing at all is worth doing WE'LL
Try it in any undertaking you please
and you will find that success is much
more certain to be attained by so doing
The man who does all his work thorough
ly can always get employment at good
price. He is sought for when those
who half do their work can scarcely get
work at all. The farmer who keeps bis
fences in good repcir will succeed far
better in keeping his ncighbors' stock
out of bis field than be who is careless
along this line As to his own stock.
they seldom break over fences for they
have never learned how by having bad
places in fences to give them a start
The man who prepares his lands well
before planting his crops will have very
little trouble in cultvating those crops
have heard the best Of farmers say
that the grounds thoroughly prepared
means that the crops are half made.
Besides. what is Of still greater import
ance, the yield will be larger aud the
quality better. The shreWd farmer
the farmer who will succeed will take
advantage of his opportunities and profit
by them During all the suitable
weather in the winter he will be LOOK
ing after his fences and grounds and
getting them in good condition, the
fences in GOOD renair and the grounds
thoroughly cleaned up and ready for
early ploughing. Then in early spring
he will prepare we'll for the crops This
being done and the seeds properly plant
ed only very limited amount Of work
in the way of cultivating the crops will
be necessary to gladden. his heart at
gathering time. 1t always pays to do
everything we'll The principle holds
good with crops Of every kind. and with
every kind Of work Whatever it may be.
Try it and see IT. X. Richey.

Mixing Chemical Fertilizers.

Chemicals can be mixed together and
used without any material for dilution
In years Of their use for oil crops and
under all conditions. | have in no case
used any dilutant It is not advisable
to use them 10 large amounts in the hill
u"loss they are thinly spread. The
practice Of using large quantities in the
hill 10 any event is one not to be COM
meuded, so that little danger exists in
their use alone when wisely or lightly
used. Nitrate Of soda and muriatc Of
potash are not sac materials to use 10
the bill, as it is found that these mate
rails in the early stages Of plant growth,
when in excess, tend to retard growth
II is my custom TO use half and halt
quantities of yard manure and chemicals
aud for corn to spread the chemicals
broadcast when used TO the amount Of
500 pounds to the acre This system
may not give the corn so quick start,
but it calls the roots out and feeds them
we'll for the 6nal crop and succeeds. -

Housing the Farm Implements:

There are many farmers througho vi
the country who should have better
shelter for farming tools. 10 passing i
farm recently noticed q moving ma
chine, rake and two cultivators standing
outdoors. How long they had been ex
posed | do not know, but it vas proba
bly, since last used. Allowing good farm
implements to stand out in this way i
bad management, and the time is no
far distant when they will have to be re.
placed with new. There are some tool
that would be almost ruined by being
exposed in this way for only one winter,
and none Of the things would be in a.
good shape for use next spring as they
would had they been properly housed
since they we're last used.
At present there are many tools that
the farmer, cultivating one hundred
acres. should have, but many Of these
tools will be short lived unless protected
from the elements would advise the
purchasing o. these improved imple-
ments il the farmer can afford them and
has suitable place for them when not
ia use, il not be would better hire from
his neighbors for a time. A good sub.
stantial building, to shelter oil the tools
needed on any ordinary farm can be
built for a moderate sum, say $50 to
$75 according TO location The damage
done tools left outside all the year
through would amount TO enough in
four years 10 erect q good building and
then it is so much better to have the
tools free from rust and in good order
for using From business standpoint
the interest on cost OF and wear on such
a building is far less than the wear on
the tools when exposed. Therefore build
n tool house II you cannot afford to
put up shelter Of some kind for to)ls,
you certainly cannot afford TO own them
Shelter your tools
Again in many instances farmers who
have no tool house are Obliged IN run
their binders and rakes into the barn or
stable, where they are much in the way
and unhandy to get at, the result is they
are often left out until long after done
using. Years ago there we're not 50
many tools in use, but that they could
be stored without an extra building
There are more used nov and some of
them cost great deal Of money Some
farmers have put up a kind Of shelter
for these tools, but not what it should
he A shed is better than nothing, in
fact shelter made of poles and straw
or swale hay is better than leaving them
out in the corLer Of the fence ". NJ

1t is the time right nov TO hedge
against that common sight in August OF
a bunch Of dairy cows standing fighting
flies on some knoll 10 bare aud brown
pasture. shrinking in their milk yield
day by day It is probably true that
cows are far better fed in winter on the
average dairy farm than they are in
summer save for matter Of six weeks
or two months in May and June. Some
sort Of a soiliag crop must be had to
tide the cows over the dry midsummer
period. and probably nothing is more
easily provided or will give better re-
suits than sweet co, so planted that it
may be cut and literally fed during
such period. While not a perfect milk
making ration, it still can be so easily
furnished by the average dairyman that
there is no excuse for not having it,
