A
Anyone Who Rural WORK
ON n Different Basis Is Sure to
Make 1t n Failure.

Farming is a trade that takes longer
TO learn than any other. How many
times mi hears the question asked
about some stranger: What is his
business? Is he a tradesman?" and
invariably. if he is a farmer, the re-
ply will be-: NO, just a farmer as
much as to say, anybody can pillow and
plant and sow and reap. And almost
anyone can to a certain extent. But
quite often the most common work of
the farmer is done in a way that causes
almost total loss of his time, his team,
and perhaps other help. all because he
knew NJ better way in which to do it.
Perhaps he may get moderate returns
for his labor in some particular case,
and not be aware that it is not the
best that could have been obtained, it
his work had been systematic and
thorough. In a great many instances
the returns would have been one-half
or one-fourth greater. / remember,
when | was quite young, asking differ
ent tradesmen how long it took them
to learn their trade. The answer would
range from one to five years. If the
same length of time were devoted to
the study of farming, we should have
more proficient farmers. There are
those who have lived and worked on
a farm all their lives and yet at the
age of so or 40 they do not know how
to farm so as to obtain remunerative
results. There is no place where it
pays better to have things done at the
proper time than on the farm. The
failure of the crops, the unfertility of
the soil, the condition of the stock
and an almost endless number of leaks
on the farm are traceable to the lack
of knowledge of the farmer. He has
not learned the trade of farming. Con-
sequently a portion of his labor and
expenditure are thrown away.-George
A. Rose. in Prairie Farmer.

Give Your Farm a Name.

We name farm animals as a matter
of convenience. So should we name
farms. The farm with a name has
a handle. The owners of farms
change. Some die, more sell out and
move away. 1t is hard to identify
farms by the names of their owners
or tenants. What was the Jones
farm ten years ago may be the Smith
farm to-day, and will be the Brown
farm ten years hence. Very often
indeed lawyers and others would be
assisted in their work, misunder-
standings and mistakes would be
avoided, vexation would be escaped,
if farms could be identified by per-
manent names-names that belonged
to them and not to their owners. If
farms were named, it would be easy
10 give a preciseness to legal docu-
ments, advertisements, directions
about routes, etc, that is impossible

Horses Have Long Memories.

That horses remember their rae.

Torrance of Rachel B., 2:2s%, by Al
lie West, at the Meadowlands farm
one day last fall. After she had
weaned her first colt by Wood Boy,
it was decided to turn her out in
the infield of the farm track. 1t
was expected that the old mare
would cross the track to the tract
of clover in the infield, but instead
she went to the sand, took the out
side of the track and logged around
it three times, and then, turning
above the wire, took the pole and
went around. She kept going until
stopped by the men. The next day
when turned out she went through
the same performance, and she made
it necessary for the farm to find a
new paddock for her. Rachel b. is

When the English government,

loans to the farmers that they might
u~nderorain the farms with tile, it
was made a rule that all tile should
be placed four feet deep This was
not, as might be supposed, to escape
LANCER from frost, but they had
found by careful tests that a tile
four feet deep would begin to draw
out the water from the soil much
quicker, and would discharge its
water sooner than one nearer the

OLD PEACH TREES.
Lots of Experience, Advises
a "DehorninE' Process.

If any reader has any peach trees
that ire old and on the decline, or
any seedlings bearing poor fruit, de-
horn them, cutting the tops all off
to short stubs, the outside limbs a
little shorter than the others; that
will insure a nice pyramidal top
when the branches or new top starts
next spring. If the tree bore good
fruit in its younger days, the fruit
will be as good as ever on this new
wood. If the fruit was of no value
you can have a fine lot of nice, new
wood upon which to bud, hat will
be ready in due time.
It is no use to keep your old scrag-
gy trees and poor fruit when it is so
easy to have the best; besides, you
can make beautiful low-headed trees
out of the old unsightly trees. By
using a little judgment you al soon
learn to do the work well. A sharp
saw and plenty of grating wa to
cover the stubs to keep put the wa
ter is all the outfit you need. Red
paint will do in place of the wax
but it will take two applications to
do the work right. You can have a
beautiful lot of low-headed trees out
of the old ones-trees that you will
be proud of, and fruit that will sell
on any market. Don't be afraid.
Head them low. If you have to cut
that seem large. no matter. I
dehorned some a short time ago and
cut limbs four inches. Plenty of wax
will save them. Heretofore / have
done the work in February, which
perhaps is the better time. AS to
budding, nearly everyone can do
that, as the process has been pub
lished many times. Try it; it will
pay you well.-J. W. c. Gray, in
