NIULTUM IN PARVO.
There is much cutting of trees and lit

Plant trees. Who plants and tends
Hath part in Gods own work, and
makes
The earth more beautiful The mystery
OF growth, the awakening when spring
time breaks
The seal of winter, the flower, the fruit

These shall repay his toll and fill some
Not for himself, alone, he plants a tree,
Who follows him will bless him for the
deed.
If there is one fruit above another that
does well in Minnesota it is the apple.
And the person who does not like apples
IS rare one. Children should have
them. Then think of it, there is no fruit
that we may have nearly the year round
without preserving by artificial means
Dogs and cats have their proper places
on the farm, but like the cows, they
must be of the right sort and quality
A good mouser will save dollars for her
owner every year in preventing the
gnawing of bags, grain and buildings.
Go easy with the horses with the first
work. They are not hard yet Let them
come into it gradually or you may lose
the use of them for the whole season.
Do not get so much on your hands that
you have no time to clean the cellar this
month. Now when the first warm days
come, decay begins to show itself in
every vegetable left in the bins, barrels
and boxes down the cellar. Decay means
disease. Look out for it.
A farmers wife preached a short but
pointed sermon to stranger not long
ago. He was at odds with the world.
There wasn't a good man in it anywhere;
he had been everywhere and knew.
Things were going to the bad generally.
Then the farmers wife said to this man:
why don't you show US how to live,
then? If you know just how it ought to
be done, why not give us practical eX-
ample Of what a good man ought to
be?'

The Strawberries make most delicious

The farm homes of the West should
have more flowers, more creeping vines
and more ornamental shrubs about them
There should be beds of pansies and

These things add so much to the home

loss of a pig at narrowing time means
the loss Of a good many dollars at sale

pigs will take care of the dollars. LOOK
out, too, for young stock Of all kind.

One of the choice things of the dairy
farm, although it is seldom thought of
is the skim milk. Modern methods make
careful use of every by-product and skim
milk Is a very large by-product outside of
manufactures that is badly wasted. A
sample analysed by the Connecticut state
experiment station yielded over IL per
GENT nitrogen, equivalent to 68.81 per cent
OF protein matter. This is six times as
rich as oats.

Good Seeds.
One Of the most important things to
pe considered by the farmer and gard

In the first place, seeds should be adapt
