Sometimes an otherwise excellent
COW is rendered partially or totally
worthless for the dairy because of a
habit of leaking milk, says G. 7. Good
rich in Hoard's Dairyman. This fault
cannot always be detected unless the
milk is seen to be leaking. 1t does not
follow that because a COW milks east
ly that she will leak her milk; far
from it. Still, those that do leak usu-
ally milk rather easy. Sometimes the
milk seems to drip away from the
teats nearly as fast as it is made, and
the udder is always nearly empty.
This makes a cow worthless as a milk
er, but can be detected any time ex-
cept when she is dry. Other cows do
not leak until the udder is well dis
tended and they lie down, forcing the
milk out in stream and making quite
a puddle of milk on the ground or floor.
Sometimes the close observer will de-
tect this.
Another fault that some cows have
is the habit of sucking other cows or,
worse still, of sucking themselves. My
advice is never to buy such a COW un,
der any circumstances if one can de-
tect the fault Such COW may posi-
bly, be prevented from sucking, but she
can never be cured of the inclination
to do so and will surely be a source of
veXation.
If the COW you are looking at has a
ring in her nose or has her nose pierced
for Il ring, don't buy her. That was
done for something and probably in a
vain attempt to prevent her from suck
ing. If she has her tongue slit, it is
for the same reason. But, no matter,
she can suck just the same. If the hair
is worn off about her head or neck, be
sure that it is not caused by some tog-
gerry put there to prevent her sucking

woRsT STORM LOSSES.

We have report from the hill coun-
try along the Mississippi river which
tells sorry story of the terrible ruin
wrought to the cultivated fields by the
washing of the unusual foods of rain.
These fields have been despoiled of
nearly all their fertility and scanned
and gashed with watercourses many
feet in depth. The damage from this
source, as we have mentioned before.
is far greater than all the losses sus-
tanned by the destruction of crops be-
cause it is permanent loss and one
which can never be repaired.

A VALUABLE TOOL.

On all corn land where mullen, milk
weed, sunfowers, morning glory. cookie
bur, wild roses and other deep rooted
and tall growing weeds prevail the
surface cultivator will be found an al
most indispensable tool, its long, sharp
knives slicing these plants off below
the surface of the ground and effec-
tually annihilating them; but it will
not take the place Of the old four
shovel plow for the general cultivation
of corn Like the disk corn plow ana

where it viii do better work in the
field than any other tool.

To breathe correctly keep the chest
up, cut, forward, as if pulled up by a
button. Keep the chin, the lips, the
chest, on line. Hold the shoulders on
a line with the hips. Breathe upward
and outward, as if about to fly, draw
ing the air with slow. deep breaths
and letting it out gently. This con-
scious deep breathing repeated ten or
twenty times at intervals during the
day tends to expand the chest perma-
nently, to give it classic poise and style.
Repeated forty times, it is said to be
cure for worry.

Timely and Practical Hints For the
Vegetable Growers.

Vegetable Growers.
Celery.-Now is the time to apply
fertilizer on each side of the rows and
draw an inch or so of earth over it
with the hoe. This applies to early
and late paintings. If celery is wanted
for exhibiting in the early part of Sep
TENDER, it will want all the pushing
along it can possibly get.
Endiye will require plenty of atten-
ton in transplanting and watering.
Lettuce will need close attention too.
Seed can yet be sown in the open in
this section, although we are getting
close to our time limit. Sow a little
of forcing kinds in frames or outside
and transplant to frames. Such kinds
as Belmont Forcing and Glasshouse
answer well.
Parsley.-Where an early supply in
spring is required seed should be sown
now in frames and wintered over.
Tomatoes. Give prompt attention to
them now in thinning out growth and
tying in. Some of the large lower
leaves may be removed to let in light
and sun.
Onions. Where they are ripe and fit
for pulling no time should be lost.
notice if left in the ground but short
time after they are ripe and shower
comes they quickly make new root
again, which is evidently detrimental
to their keeping qualities. When once
pulled, keep as dry as possible and
thoroughly ripen them if required for
late keeping.
Seed of Tripoli varieties, such as
Giant Rocca, can be sown in frames
now and wintered over if large bulbs
are wanted for special purposes next
season.
Turnips.-It is now about the last
call in many sections for the last SOW
ing of white turnips
Spinach.A sowing of the broad
leaved kinds may be made now for
fall use.-E. P. Meredith, Massachu-
sets, in American Gardening.

ADVANCE IN LAND PRICES.

Every year which passes will make
it more and more difficult for a poor
man to secure piece of land for
farm. He is now almost barred out by
the high prices of land from all the
older settled portions of the country,
and if the advance in land values con-
tinues for another year there will be
very little cheap and desirable farm
land to be obtained anywhere in the
country Men will have to be content
with fewer acres, which will involve
better methods and larger crops, which
in the long run will not be bad thing
either for the man or the country.

APPLE CANKERS.

These Are Now Largely Engaging
the Attention of orcIsardists.
The canker of apple trees has been
attracting the attention Of orcbardists
in various parts of the country lately.
II. HasselbrinG Of the Illinois station
has also lately investigated the whole
subject of apple cankers, and from his
report the following is learned:
The common term "canker'' includes
all diseases involving portions of the
living bark of trees. These may be
due to different causes. Several canker
diseases caused by fungous parasites
are known in the United States.
If the canker is found in its first
stages, however, it may be useful to
cut away the injured bark and a por-
ton of the wood and keep the wound
covered with bordeaux mixture or
paint The bark at the edges of the
wound will grow out and heal over
the injury.
Limbs which have extended diseased
areas should be removed land burned.
When limb is badly injured, it is so
weakened that the fruit borne on it is
of little value, and the death of the
limb is only a question of time. Mean
while every diseased spot is a source
of danger to the orchard and cannot
be too quickly removed. The canker
spots frequently occur near the trunk,
so that the life of the tree is endan-
gered by them.
Infections through wounds caused
by pruning can be to a great extent
prevented by careful attention to the
details Of the operation. The indis-
eliminate and careless cutting of
branches frequently practiced is detri-
mental to the health of the tree, aside
from the opportunities it offers for
parasites of all kinds to enter
Long stubs should never be left on
the tree. Limbs should be cut close
to the parent branch without making
the wound unnecessarily large. Wounds
caused by proper pruning heal without
difficulty. They should be kept painted
or covered with bordeaux mixture.
Injuries caused by climbing about in
the trees can be prevented entirely
by picking from ladders. There is
rarely any necessity for climbing the
tree to pick the fruit
Query.-So long as it has seemed best
for the United States to acquire large
areas of sugar producing territory, why
not let this territory be developed to
the fullest extent in supplying the
needs of the American people?
Crop experts place the value of the
cereal crop alone of 1902 at the enor-
nous sum of S2.000,000000 for the
farmers of the United States This Is
all new created and original wealth.
No other country on earth ever before
made such a showing.
There is more to encourage one to
take up the poultry business today
than there has ever been before. Hav-
ing the use of an acre or SO of land,
almost any one, using ordinary intelli-
gence, can take up this business and
be reasonably sure of profitable one.
Where Canada thistles have got
foothold in the west they propagate
not from the seed. which is infertile,
but from the sucker roots. The only
reliable way in which to get rid of
them is to keep them persistently cut
off during the growing period as soon
