mustard belongs to the same family of

most serious of all the weeG pests. This
is due to the fact that it ripens it's seed

Fnrn Notes.

If You do not have enough manure
for large field use it on small plot,
and eudeavor to make as much as pos
sible by concentrating the manure and
work to a limited area Manure may
be wasted by attempting TO make il do
service ON a larger space than it will
prodttAly cove, as well as entailing
more labor than the crop can compen-
safe for.
Sheep are one of the best kinds Of
stocks to keep in orchards After a
little practice they will pick up fallen
fruit quicker than hogs; and this is
often very important. as the cooling
moth worm generally leaves the apple
soon after il drops. But, with either
sheep or hogs, sufficient food must be
suDplied or the trees will be barked.
The food thus given goes, however,
where il will do the most good, in the
production of the largest and best
fruit.
There is quite difference in the adj
yantaCes of budding and grating. The
nroper time for budding is any period
when good buds can be procured and
! the bark will run on the stocks. Peach
es and roses are always budded. but
/ grating is used on apples, pears and
/ cranes. Budding is sometimes done in
order TO change the tops Of quite young
fruit trees Dry weather is not favor
able to budding. and as a rule budding
/ is not rs successful as grating.
Bones may be dissolved by the use
Of unleacbed wood ashes, especially II
they are broken or ground. The pro
portions fer a fertilizer, used by some
farmers. are one barrel Of raw bone
fiour. three barrels dry wood ashes
fifty pounds Of gypsum and ten gallons
of water. The materials are placed in
a heap upon the floor and stirred with
a hoe while the water is added. The
mast is kept moist. and in two or three
weeks win be ready for use. Five bar
refs Of this. mixture IS considered an
efficient and cheap dressing for an aczs

An Expansive Excuse.

Annie was late and, like sensible
child, she recognized the fact and
stopped running. Not so Johnnie. He
belonged to the class that never knows

trot until the school door was reached.
There he leaned dejectedly and

The HAY Press.

The farmer who has more hay than
barn room will find it good invest
ment to have hay press that he may
put it into smaller bulk, SO that there
will be room for it in the barn, instead
of stacking 1t out of doors. 1t viii
keep better, and if he has any to sell it
will be more easily handled and sell
more readily at a better price. If one
cannot afford to buy a press, let those
in a neighborhood who are likely TO
want to use 1t unite in owning. The
hay may be stacked until the cutting
and curing is over with, if one does not
wish TO run the press in haying time,
but the quicker the stack is reduced to
bales the better.

10 think what a sweet task they would
have before them, as he remembered how
black the mad-honse doctor had become
in the face before he was done with him.
The neighborhood of the mad house
was singularly lonely, not house being
in sight either up or down the river, but
Jack knew whore he was aiming for, hay-
ing studied the country well when he
etme and before applying for the situa-
ton.
Along through the dense undergrowth
they made their way. leaving the mad
house further behind them all the while.
but although for time all seemed going
well, danger was not far away.
Suddenly Nora laid her hand upon the
arm of her companion and brought INN
to full pause.
"Listenr she said hoarsely.
They stood like statues for half min
ute. their ears on the alert for sounds.
Then Jack recognized a cry as one he
had often heard among the swamps Of the
South. 1t was the long-drawn bay of
bloodhound.
The doctor had set loose his dogs.
Come" said Jack, hastily, let US fly.
The doctor himself must be with those
who are in our rear, and, should they
come I'D with us. they would just as soon
let the brutes attack us. Can you run,
Nora?"
She showed him that she could, but the
thickets barred their progress consider
ably. They had the satisfaction Of know
ing however, that their pursucrs were no
better off, for they could hear the impa-
tient noises given vent to by the hounds
as they struggled in leash.
Jack still had his arm around his COM
panion, but had long since replaced the
revolver, as he needed his good right hand
to assist him in his passage through the
thickets. and. besides, he would probably
have plenty of warning ere the pursuers
came upon them.

The farmer who sows clover and finds
in the spring that it was winter killed
considers that he has lost time, labor
and the value of the seed. This is not
so. for the growth the clover makes dur
ing the late summer and fall has added
enough fertility TO the soil to materially
assist in paying for the time and labor
involved. ~ Il matter of fact, there

seeding the clover beyond the work of
