Farm and Fruit Notes.
From the Practical Fruit Grower.
 This is agricultural year.

From the Practical Fruit Grower.
 This is agricultural year.
 What year for grass! The cattle on the hills and prairies are fat.
 It will seem like old times to have a big corn crop. The young plants are shooting up--so are the weeds, in fields poorly culti- vated.
 The COW peas are coming up all right. Don't fail to put out some if you have land that needs holding up. It it a great thing the COW pea.
 One authority recommends the following formula for depleted soils: Eight parts work, five parts water, two parts humus, one part phosphorie acid.
 Silos are quite the fashion i'll the great farming states. All farms will have one in the near by-and-by. Good old fashioned corn is the best thing to fill the silo with.
 Many Ozark farmers are in- tending to grow alfalfa. Ex- periments prove that fall sowing for alfalfa is the only time for this section.
 Every framer knows of the inn nortance of grading up cattle. The principle of breeding goes right along from cattle to plants. Farmers should make experi- ments on this line.
 Good cattle are perhaps the most profitable live stock. They are able to take care of them selves and. always command cash. More cattle are needed on our farms to help build up the soil.
 Clear up the shocks and put the land in COW peas right away. Turn the COW pea growth under and see if you do not get a good yield of wheat again next year. Wheat is an exhaustive crop and the ground requires feeding af- ter the harvest before another sowing.
 The high prices for meat re- suits in the feeding of many calves for the butcher. At times tis quite a profitable business, built should be properly pursued. Farmers should not be induced to sell their most promising heifel calves for this purpose, even al good prices, for they should be worth much more on the farm for COWS, or if not all are wanted they will sell very readily either as heifers or cows to those who desire superior stock.
 Hoard's Dairynan, in an ar ticle on cutting clover gives the following concise directions: Cut early, but not when grass is wet with dew or rain; wilt but slight ly, and then assemble in small punches where about nine -tenths of the curing is to be done; cover with hay caps to protect from rain and dew; at any convenient time after two to four days, open the punches lightly so that they may be thoroughly aired, and in good drying weather, after two to four hours the hay will be ready for hauling.

ARTIFICIAL PONDS.
'"i""pie snggestions for Farmers
VINO Are i'm the Notion of Rails
ing Their Own Fish.

The name of constructing fish
ponds should always be governed BY
existing circumstances. In fact every
advantage should be turned to good
account. If there is a natural valley mr.
hollow, dam it up at the lower end and
thus place the pond on top of the
ground; otherwise a hole in the earth
Will have to be eXcavated of the re.
quisite size and depth. The greatest
depth of any pond need not exceed six
feet, this to be at the point where the
outlet is placed. Thence it should
gradually decrease until the water
depth at the head is not greater than
two feet. This shallow depth is abso.
iutely required in a breeding pond. 1t
is also of the utmost importance for
the durability of the pond to give the
dam a proper degree of consistency and
shape. Assuming it to be six feet high
for example, the bottom should he M
less than is feet wide. and when com.
pleted the top should be six feet. Am.
Pile size and good measure are really
necessary, for a dam will always wash
more or less. Indeed, what NAV be
considered a very fair, well-rounded,
nat dam will, with a few years of wash
ing and frost loosening, get to be quite
lean and ske~leton-like. Make if at
least one-eighth higher than you want
it when it is settled, and never put in
any brush or stumps, or anything that
will rot out and prevent its compact
settling. Use instead the best earth in
packing around the drain box or pipe.

great importance of agriculture as an

farms of the country, or more than
twice as much as in m~anufacturino
