PLANTS IN SPRING.

Let me urge those who want a vine
for the bay window or parlor, or to
train over a screen, to procure an
English ivy this spring. would rath-
er have fine specimen of it than
score of the plants usually found in
window garden collections. 1t is a
shame that such plant should have
been crowded out by newcomers
having but few of it's merits.
Plants need a good deal more water
as the days grow longer and warmer
than they do in mldwinter. They
shonld be given all they can make use
of. Watch the surface of the soil and
whenever it looks dry give more
water. Do not make watering a
matter of three times a week and so
much to a plant as many do, but be
governed by the evident needs of the
plant as shown by the soil.
In the springtime when plants are
making strong and rapid growth par
training them. If neglected in this
respect they they soon get beyond
control, and the only way to bring
them into subsection then is by sacri-
ficing good deal of the gro with they
have made. This there is no need of
doing if the training is begun in the
right way and at the right time. If
branch is inclined to outgrow others
pinch off the end of it, and keep all
such branches from growing by pinch
ing until other branches have had a
chance to catch up. If plant is not
bushy and compact make it so by
pinching off the end of all its branches.
Keep up this treatment until as many
branches have started as you think
the plant ought to have. If you de-
sire plant to grow in tree form train
it to one stalk until it reaches the
height you desire, and then nip off it's
top and force it to branch. Save the
branches at the top to form the head
of the tree. If you want a shrubby
plant begin the pinching process
when it is small, thus forcing it to
branch close to the pot. The old say
ing of Gas the twig is bent the tree
nclines" applies pertinently to the
training of plants when in their early
stages of development.-Ladies' Home

OVerfat Stock.

1t is beginning to dawn upon the
minds Of farmers and feeders that
there is such thing as having ami
mails too fat for the slaughter as well
as for breeding purposes. Butchers
and market men have long known it,
but they made themselves safe by
weighing the meat before cutting off
the fat, a practice which they will
keep up until the customer complains
that he gets only twelve ounces of
meat to the pound, But he would
complain quite as badly if he had the
other four ounces in fat that none of
the family would care to eat. Then
the price must be increased if the fat
is to be trimmed off before weighing.
This is one reason for the popularity
of the baby beef that has been weld
fed from birth. Having been grow
ing while it was fattening the fat is
not all in layer upon the outside of
the meat Or stored up around the
kidneys, but the whole flesh is tender,
Juicy and just fat enough. The same
thing is true in mutton, and we'll fed
yearling gives better satisfaction than
the three year old wether that once
used to be called the best. Even
some of the judges of fat stock are
beginning to look little shy at ami
mails with great Jumps of fat plastered
alongside the backbone MGssdchu-

OUR FARMERS.
THE PROSPEROUS FARMER.

owe know some farmers who are
making money right along every year
and making their farms better right
along, too. Some are in one state,
raising certain kinds of crops; others
in others, making different crops.
But in one respect they are all alike;
they 'fertilize with brains,' and more
over they look upon farming as a
business. They do everything accord
ing to method and system. They
have plan that they are working to,
it is not for one year but long time
to come. That sort of farmer who has
his heart in his business, who likes to
make things grow, who has personal
feeling for his stock, who loves his
home and thinks farmer has as good
a title to a nice home and surround
ings as other people, is the most in
dependent man on earth and ought to
be the happiest. This is the third
month of a new century, shake up
your brains and locate YOURSELF; make
up your mind whether you are going
to be at the front end or tail end of
the procession.'
We clip this from an exchange be-
cause it expresses so accurately the
condition that exists among farmers
today. It is not difficult to find
farmers in the same neighbOrhOod
repre- senting the two extremes men
toned. In fact, we have in mind
farmers living side by side upon farms
that ar exactly alike, so far as soil
fertility is concerned, one of whom is
improving his farm every year and
adding a few dollars to his bank ac-
count, while the farm Of the other is
deteriorating every year and its owner
growing no richer. One is sure that
farming can be made to pay while the
owner of the other farm is constantly
preaching that farming is a poor
business and that nothing can be made
in it.
We do not contend that there IS an
opportunity to get rich upon an aver
age farm, or that much money can be
conveniences are provided for the
family, but we have always main
tanned that when the farmer used
brains in his operations, and con-
Quoted his farm upon business princi-
pies, there would be as favorable OPP
portunity to live comfortably and
rear family amid healthy surround
ings as can be found in the world and
we have no reason for changing our
opinion in regard to this matter.
Whether we head or tail the process
sion depends entirely upon the brain
power we exercise in the manage
ment of our farms. We have too
much talk about the "down- trodden"
farmer and too little about the farmer
that makes place for himself through
pluck, determination and good bust
ness capacity. Whether one is in the
factory, counting room or upon the
farm it is personal effort and ambi-
ton that counts and the more fully
our young farmers understand this
the better will it be for them.-Er.
