Farm Notes.

The importance of using plenty OF
seed NAV be mentioned from the fact
that only 80 per cent terminates on the
average. The conditions Of the soil,
kind of seed, it's age and depth of the
planting must be considered, but the
rule to be observed Is to use rather
more seed than too little.
An excellent time to select seed corn
is when it is being husked. All seed
corn should be kept in dry place, and
if hung up where the air can circulate
through 1t so much the better. In
some sections seed corn is injured in
winter by severe cold, but this danger
is not so great If the seed is kept dry.
1t is not bad plan for any farmer
to have some speciality aside from his
regular crops, if he is not too short for
help. Among the things to be suggest
ed small area in some one fruit
would be within reach of all. This
would afford a profit in the majority
of seasons, and every now and then
comes a year when fruit crop Is
worth very handsome sum.
When the crops are removed from
the garden burn the ground over so as
70 destroy the weeds and seeds. 1t
NAV then be plowed and seeded to rye
If not too late In the season at the
time, the rye to be plowed under In
the spring. The object should be to
avoid having weeds in the garden so
as to render the work less difficult dur
ing the busy season, and If this mat
ter is carefully attended to there VIII
be no weeds to XIII IN two or thres
seasons.

Mutton and Wool.

It is surprising how many people are
still thinking that the mission or the
sheep is to grow wool, says an ex-
change. Many are abandoning sheep
says writer in the Ohio Farmer, JUST
because wool Is low, and going into
cattle and hogs because beef and pork
are high. The fact that mutton is also
high and that a pound of mutton can
be produced at less cost than pound
If beef and about as cheaply as a
pound of pork, and that whatever wool
is produced is additional gain, is lost
sight of.

Celery for the Market.

For market purposes 1t is best to
grow but two or three varieties of eel
cry and build up trade for a uniform
product. The northern growers. for
the most part, plant White Plume and
Golden Self Blanching for summer and
fall marketing, and those who make a
practice of storing also plant some such
variety as Giant Solid.

Increasing Use of Corn Fodder.

A census bulletin reports that in In
diana in 1899, 3S,O39 farms used 564,-
ITO tons Of cornstalks for forage. Ohio
came next, with 32,65S farm, using
1853, 149 tons. The other big corn pro-
ducing States used far less and thus
permitted a large portion Of their corn
crop to go to waste. Since 1899 the
amount Of corn fodder used has great
ly increased, but there are no Stats
ties of the amount at hand.
