GOOD FARM ANIMALS.
Demand for Improved Stock II 50
Great That supply IL Not Enough
to Go Around.

A. W. Cheever, in an eastern paper.
says: What the business farmer
wants is well-bred stock, and this is
more likely to be found in the yards
of men who keep record of their
animals. The first herd books
marked step in the right direction,
but it was greater one that intro
duced the element of performance.
The American cares a good deal
more about knowing what person
can do now than about who his an
cestors were. Good animals are
much more plenty than formerly on
our American farms, but there has
never yet been a time when the
farmers could all fill their stables
with the best animals. The:e have
never been enough to go around. To
improve the stock of the country it
has been necessary to keep good
many grades. If advising voting
man now as to what kind of stock
to keep I should say get the best
possible within your means. But
buying good stock will not alone in
sure SuCCtSS. 1HClc dIc FARMERS
whose ideas of the care of animals
are so crude that the best would fail
in their hands. There are farmers
who have not the elements for sue
cess in their makeup. The best-bred
stock in their hands would be sure
to deteriorate. There are q great
many good, profitable cows in farm
ers' yards whose pedigrees cannot
be traced. Such COWS bred to bulls
of known worth should produce
calves that would be well worth rails
ing. 1t is not possible for us all to
have at once cows that will produce
milk enough to make 400 or 800
pounds of butter in a year, but by
careful selection of the best cows
in our herds and breeding to SUI
perior bulls it would be possible to
raise the average annual yield very
materially. No lover of good stock
should be disheartened because he
cannot fill his yards at once with the
best purc-bred animals.

CULTIVATION OF BEANS.
Use Seed from Reliable Sources Only
and Plant in Thick, Well
Drained LOam

Nocropresponds more readily to good
soil and cultivation than beans. The
soil best adapted to it is light, rich,
we'll drained loan, which was MANFRED
for the previous crop. If too rank
manure is used it is apt to make the
plant run too much to vine. Beans arc
extremely sensitive to both cold and
wet, and it is useless to plant them
before the ground has become dry and
warm. The largest return will result
from planting in drills from two to
three feet apart, and leaving the plants
two to six inches apart in the row. Up
to the time of blossoming they should
have frequent shallow cultivation, but
any cutting of the roots after the
plants come into bloom is likely to
cause the blossoms to blast and so cut
off the crop. Remember that the cul-
tivation of beans should always be
very shallow, and that it is useless to
expect a crop from a field so poorly
prepared as to need deep stirring after
planting. Varieties should be selected
SO as to give a succession both of string
and green shelled beans. The wax
podded varieties will degenerate into
mixture of green and wax podded
plants unless there is constant at.
tention given to the removing of any
green podded plants which may ap-
pear in the seed crop, and the con-
slant selection of plants of the highest
type for stock seed. Hence. it is espe-
cially important to use seed from re-
! liable sources only.-Midland Farmer.

MICE GIRDLED TREES.
They Can he Saved from Destruction
If the Process Here Described
Is Carried Out.

Mention has recently been made of
bridge grating to save fruit trees
injured by mice. The cut, showing
how the work is done, is reproduced
from a leafet published by the New
York agricultural experiment station,
Geneva. To do this grating take a
twig of last years growth and sharp
en- it to wedge at both ends, as
shown at Fig. l. The twig should be a
little longer than the distance across
the wound, and stiff enough to pre-
vent bending easily. With a half
inch chisel, with the bevel outward,
make missions through the bark to
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1902-06-04

the wood above and below the girdled
spot. Press one of the sharpened
ends of the twig into the lower cut,
and, bending the twig, spring the
other end into the>/incision above.
These twigs should be placed along
the wound about an inch apart. If
just the right length they will be
firm, and no tying is required. Put a
small lit of wax at the points where
the twigs, enter the tree. It is not
thought desirable to do this bridge
grating Oh any but strong, vigorous
trees. Girdled trees only a year or
two old would better be removed and
others put in their place.-Rural New
Yorker.

Soil for Sugar Bcets.

If you have nothing but poor soil
on your farm do not try to raise sugar
beets, 10 matter how many other ia
vorable conditions you may possess.
The better the SOIL. the larger the
crop. It should be at least two years
under cultivation. Never put beets on
exposed slopes where the soil is liable
to blow or wash. The beet grows on
almost any soil except pure sand or
gravel. The soil best suited to, the
normal development of beets is rich
sandy loan with q porous clay subsoil.
A soil excessively rich in, heterogeneous
matter is not the best and shallow
soil with . hard subsoil (hard panli is
to be avoided entirely. Ii.
