Renewing Berry Eield.

With as, renovating an olS bed is q
very simple problem, says Country
Gentleman. We have merely to run
over the bed with a moving machine
and with a horse-rake gather up the
vines and other litter that may be on
the bed, which. is drawn off. Then
with our horse cultivator we i'm
mediately go over the ground suf-
hcient number of times TO reduce the
soil TO the required fneness. We work
the surface up thus TO Il depth of four
or five inches perhaps. Here is one
Of the places where a dorse-weeder is
worth its weight in gold. almost With
this tool we go over the surface length
wise and crosswise until It is level ana
fine. This process also mellows the
surface between the plants 70 some
extent and tears OF many OF the run
ners. After this with a hand hoe we
finish up the job cutting of all run
ners and mellowing the soil between
the plants.
A dressing Of barnyard manure well
rotted or OF some of the commercial
fertilizers is something that is very
essential to success. We keep the cul-
tivator, weeder and hoe going until
snow flies, or fall rains make cult
walton impossible. We must not for
get to add that all runners are remov-
ed as fast as they appear. An old bed
thus treated is sure to make an excel
lent showing the following season.
The object or purpose Of renovation is
to induce new growth OF leaf and
root and the formation of new fruit
buds.

Sellinu Water in Crops.

More water Is sold by farmers than
any other substance. and it brings the
highest price in proportion to cost
than any material known. Water is
sold in so many forms. however, that
its value varies daily. A crop of green
clover contains 1900 pounds % water
per ton, and when a ton of dry clover
is hauled to market 200 pcunds Of the
load consist of wafer. Every hundred
pounds of milk sold contain about 81
pounds of water, and the mixed stable
manure which Is spread on the fields
Is more than ono-half water. No mat
ter how dry or well cured the hay ana
fodder crops may be, from the farm
ers point of view, there will be water
to haul that will be contained in the
plants. ton of cared corn fodder
contains 5I5 pounds of water, and
even salt hay, which is usually appar-
emily as dry as if passed Through a
kiln, contains over 100 pounds Of wa
ter per ton. The farmer sells this
water, and the more water he can sell
the larger his profit, as the nitrogen
Gus and mineral matter taken from
the soil by the plants is q direct loss
unless the price at which the crop is
sold Is sufficiently large to reimburse
the farmer for his loss of plant food,
as well as afford him a proflt.-Phil-

Dairy Chat.

The best way to prevent butter
bowl from splitting is to rub it well
with FRESH lard before 1t has ever
been wet. Heat the lard and grease
the bowl inside and out just as long as
the wood will absorb the lard, which
will usually be a large cupful. A small
brush is a convenient article to use
about cleaning the churn and dairy
utensils, as II is difficult to clean the
corners Of the ofhurn and seams of the
pans with cloth, and when these
are neglected they make fine breeding
places for microbes. A good way TO
clean the wire piece of the milk strain
or is to rub 1t both inside and out with
dry salt and then shake II thoroughly.
Before beginning the work of rhurn-
ing one should have plenty of boiling
water ready to use as soon as the
churning is finished, and the sooner
the milk and butter are removed from
the churn the less trouble 1t will be to
clean Cold water should be used first
TO wash OF the milk adhering to the
side, and then scalding water must be
freely used and in such way that 1t
will reach the corners and crevices.
Then dry the churH in the shade first
and place it in the sun, for If 1t is set
in the sun while wet the wood is apt
to get warped. In most cases sour
milk is the result of the cans not being
properly washed, end the best method
of cleaning them is to first wash the
pans in warm water ard then scald
thoroughly and set in the sun to dry.
There should be plenty Of cloths TO use
about the dairy, and good plan is to
have two sets Of cloths and use them
on alternate days, summing when not
in use. The cloths may be kept clean
ana white until they are entirely worn
ont if they are boiled every other day
in a strong suds, but they should be
washed out in warm water first When
removed from the boiling water they
should be rinsed carefully. Then the
cloths must have good airing and
summing to keep them fresh and sweet.

Poultry Notes.

Dry food is natures food for fowls.
Never scare the hens.
Keep the breeders happy.
A little neglect will often cost big
loss.
Avoid draughts upon the fowls at
night.
Set eggs that are as nearly alike as
possible.
Your home market always demands
fresh eggs.
The largest breed is not likely to
be the best
An acre is sufficient to keep one
hundred hens.
Set only coed eggs from the best
hen as nearly as you can select them.
Do not set poorly shelled eggs.
abormally large or small eggs from
hens that are not in good condition.
II no trap nests are used pick out
the best hens, as nearly as you can
judge, and pen them by themselves
with the best male you have or can
afford to get.
If trap nests are used set the eggs
of the best layers provided the eggs
are of normal size, have good strong
chells. and the hens who laid them

Corn and Milk.

II is claimed that 30 pounds OF pork
Give hogl can he made from one bush
el Of corn, but no portion of the corn
must be wasted by lack OF warm shell
ter or variety OF other food. The pos
sibilitics with corn depend on the con-
ritions Of management. Corn and
milk will give greater gain than can
be obtained from milk without corn,
for the reason that one kind of food
supplies some element that may be
lacking in the other. Corn is deiic-
lent in lime, yet lime is essential in
producing bone. Milk, cut clover
(scalded) and bran contain lime, but
are not as fattening as corn. A
combination of foods cheapens the
cost OF corn and other substances, be-
cause there is greater gain in the
weight of the animal.
