Farm Hints.

Nel.hborhoods must pull together in
these times.
The man who has not an Unborn fond
ness for horses should raise the steer.
Milk is a great egg food, as it is
chemically similar to the white of an
egg.
Massachusetts farmers who have
tried it do not give encouraging reports
of alfalfa.
Corn should he grown extensively.
and the silo is the cheapest method of
preserving it.
There is only one way of making
noultry mature early, and that is to
keep them growing.
English beans are upright, rank,

For farmers who preserve and ex-
port fruit, as well as for growers, but
ter merchants, sea captains and many
others, new barrel has much interest.
In order to ascertain the condition OF
fruit or provisions which are stored IN
an ordinary barrel a man must either
empty the barrel or, at any rate. re-
move the greater portion of Its con-
tents. If he uses this new barrel. how
ever, all this trouble viii be unneces-
sary. since one of its slaves Is NOV
able and whenever he desires to inspect
the contents of the barrel all he need
do is to move this stave to o. side.
After he has satisfied himself that
the contents are in good condition he
can replace the stave, and 1t will be
held firmly in proper position by the
hoops.
Another advantage is that in this
way fresh air can at any time be adj
mltted to all parts Of the barrel. and

The city of New York is undergoing Il

the steel is up. the building b4ilt, some
thing must enclose it. The only questions
are those of beauty and seryiceability.
1t is not uncommon to see the wall liter
ally built from the top down, the sixth
story and all those above it entirely com
pleted before the stone for the lower sto-
ries is shipped from the quarry. If the
builder desires to push the work along
rapidly, or if he lacks the material for
the lower stories. he can cften save
much valuable time in this way. oeea-

structures the enclosing wall of stone

A HANDY BARREL.
that this with prove q boon In the case
of fruit and provisions is undoubted.
A Good Seed Bed.

The Importance of having land made
well pulyerized and mellow before
seeds are sown or planted in it is not
all in the fact that the roots penetrate
it better when so than when 1t is IN
coarse humps, and thus find more cas-
lily the plant food that is in it, though
this Is an important consideration, but
it Is true that the seed terminates more
rapidly after two or three days, and
with some varieties a week, before it
comes up in soil that is but half work
ed, In which, by the way, much seed
may fail to terminate at all. The soil
that is fine and mellow fits closely
around the seed and gives a supply of
moisture to all parts alike. 1t excludes
the drying air, aud yet it is more even
ly warmed by bright sun, which helps
to draw up moisture from below by
capillary ttraetion. An extra day
spent in putting field in good condi-
ton before the seed is put in will not
only hasten the growth and maturity
OF the CROP but will increase its
amount. Exchange.

Growing Beans.

Neither the gardens nor field beans
need a very strong heavy soil. They
do better on light loan, rather sandy
than cllyey 1t is warmer than the
clay or muck soil, and thus admits of
being pllnted earlier, and the bean is
almost tropical in its liking for hot
weather and warm land. II the soil
is made too rich the vines may grow
so rank as to shade the ground, -
ing it cold. which results in less beans.
and there is more tendency to spot or
lst on a damp, cold soil. Barnyard
manure is better than that from the
horse stables. as the bean needs but
little nitrogen. Like clover, 1t gath,
ers nitrogen by means of the nodules
on its roots. The manure should be
well rooted, and. fresh manure should
never be used. American Cultivator.

below will find ready approval among
those whose duty it is. to care for these
animals. All that 1T is necessary to do
with this apparatus is to attach one
end to a fence, hang the pail in the CEN
ter and attach the calf to the outer end
for a few feelings, and after that he
will see to the attaching himself, as far
as his end is concerned. 1t is not nat
ural for calf to drink at the age they
are usually compelled to begin, and one
of the results is that when the animal
does learn to drink, it swallows the

OF the regrindlng was that the bran
had been wet, soured and caked up. A
few years ago a neighbor complained
to US that his cows were not giving
their usual amount of milk, and We're
growing lean, and some of them were
securing badly. The ration he was feed
ing seemed to be in the right proper
tons, and his ensilage was good. After
examining all else, we asked to see the
shorts, which he fed quite literally.
We saw 1t, we smeiled of it, and then
we tasted of 1t. Although it looked
and smeiied all right, the taste was
enough to reveal that it was as sour
as any pickle. All the good qualities
had been destroyed by overheating
when damp. and While the regrinding
had reduced the caked Jumps and tax
en- away the sour smell, it had not re-
stored the feeding value And of that
it probably never had any more than
coarse bran and the sweepings of the
mill that might have been added to it.

and Promise Big TotaI-Cotton Is
in Good Condition.

The weather bureaus general summary
Of the crops in the whole country gives
the week as one OF highly favorable tenn
perature conditions in all districts east
Of the Rocky Mountains. with abundant
rainfall over the greater portion OF the
central valleys, lake region. and middle
Atlantic States. Drought conditions in
the Ohio valley have been effeetually re-
lieyed, except in southern Illinois. and
while partially broken over the, greater
part of the middle and south Atlantic
States, more rain was needed at the close
Of the week in those districts.
Rain is much needed In Tennessee, aver
the northern portions of Mississippi and
Alabama, and in central and southern
Florida Excessively heavy rains re-
tarded work and caused some damage
by washing and overiows in the lake re-
gion and in the States of the Ohio and
lower Missouri valleys.
On the Pacific coast the first part Of
the week was too cold in Washington and
Oregon, but more favorable conditions
prevailed during the latter part; in Coli
fornia, with the exception of drying
winds, the week. though cooler than
usual, was generally favorable. Heavy
frosts occurred ON the 10Th and 10Th -
the middle and southern Rocky Mountain
districts, causing considerable damage,
Heavy rains have interrupted corn
planting over extensive areas in the Mis-
souri,, upper Mississippi and Ohio val
leys and. lake region, in portions of which
districts much replanting will be neces-
sary as a result of oyerflows and washed
lands. The early planted has made good
growth throughout the central valleys,
but is suffering for cultivation in the
lower Missouri valley. In the Southern
States the crop has made good progress,
and much of the early planted has been
laid by.

Winter Wheat Improves.

An improven4 in the condition of
winter wheat is reported from Nebraska,
Kansas. portions of Illinois. and in In
diana, Michigan and Wisconsin, and the
crop continues in fine condition in Mis-
souri,, except in few southeastern coun-
ties. The reports from Tennessee, Ken
lucky, Ohio, the middle and south At
lantic and the east gulf States show that
the crop is heading low and indicate very
light yields.
Harvesting continues in Texas and win
soon begin in Arkansas, Oklahoma and
southern Kansas. On the Pacific coast
the outlook continues favorable, except in
southern California; the crop is, however
reported as unusually weedy in Oregon.
In California winter wheat is ripening
rapidly and harvest will soon begin in the
San Joaquin valley.
Early spring wheat has made vigorous
growth, and the later sown is coming up
well. Seeding is practically finished
In the middle south Atlantic and east
gulf States and portions of the Ohio val
ley the outlook for oats is not promising,
but more favorable conditions are report
ed from the Missouri and upper Missis-
sippi valleys and the lake region. Har-
vesting is in progress in the central and
west gulf States.
But few adverse reports respecting cot
ton are received. In portions of Texas,
Oklahoma and Alabama the crop is get
ting grassy, and boil weeyils are inereas-
ing and lice appearing in southern Texas.
Recent rains in the Ohio valley, Ten
nessee and the middle Atlantic States
have put the soil in favorable condition
for transplanting tobacco, which work is
well advanced in these districts. In the
CS,olinas stands are irregular and in
sects destructive. Plants are generally
plentiful. except in central and eastern
Kentucky, but are overgrown in portions
of Virginia and Tennessee.
Orchards have sustained some damage
by local storms in the Ohio valley, and on
the whole the general fruit outlook is less
encouraging than earlier in the SEASON.
Peaches are dropping extensively in the
middle and south Atlantic States.
A very general Improvement in grass
is repor ed from the central valleys. but
condition of this crop in New England
and the middle Atlantic States continues
backward.
