Farm Notes.

Keep all young animals growing and
gaining.
Avoid working horses in the rain as
much as possible.
Ground feed is better than whole
grain for growing colts.
With shelter for stock, light is as
essential as air and warmth.
Sweet food for hogs is better than
that which is fermented and soured.
All rubbish and prunings from the
garden and orchard should be burned.
A failing appetite is generally the
first indication of an animal being
out Of condition.
Coal ashes. as well as wood ashes.
should be saved and applied on wet,
heavy soils.
Conveniences for watering and feed
ing stock are items in saving time,
labor and feed on the farm.
Corn and oats. half OF each, ground
together. make one Of the best kinds
OF feed for cows In milk.
Inc pest way 10 get r1Q or the cur
rant worm is to dust the leaves with
white hellebore..
IN nearly all cases. the best animals
are the offspring Of mature parents on
both sides.
Be ready to cut clover when the
largest number Of plants are In bloom
and are turning brown.
1t should be the aim Of every breed
er Of horses to raise well-bred and
well-trained animals.
In the management of clover for hay
1t is important not to cure too dry, and
to store under shelter.
On many farms, exposure to the
weather injuries farm machinery fully
as much. If not more. than use.
The offspring OF immature. undevel-
oped animals is inferior to that of
matured and full-grown parents.

Field Bean. and aox Raan..

The average results for six years
at the Ontario station show that the
following varieties of field beans have
given the highest yields: White Won.
der, Day Improved Leafiess, Medium
or Navy. Pearce Improved Tree and
Schofeld Pea. Based on the expert
ments with soy beans at the college,
the Early Yellow is recommended for
the production of grain for feed, and
the Medium Green for ensiling with

soda for Potatoes.

In growing tomatoes nitrogen in the
soil is the least desired Of the plant
foods and the best results will come
from phosphoric acid and potash liber-
ally applied broadcast Much has been
written regarding the use Of nitrate Of
soda for tomato growing and while
this chemical is good, 1t should be
used with caution. It's function il to
cause the plant to make a quick
growth; in other words give it a
start which will be kept up by the
phosphoric acid and the potash.
This being the case the best way to
use It il to watch the plants closely
az they grow ana If any shows lack
Of vigor sprinkle a teaspoonful of the
nitrate Of soda about the plant. US
ually one application will be SUFFICIENT
to start such plants of in good shane
and once they get good start there
will be no trouble II the soil has been
properly enriched and proper cultiva-
ton has been carried on.

Dividing n sta1I.

In some barns the stalls are SUM-
GENTLY wide 80 that they may be
divided when occasion requires II
some temporary division can be easily
made, put in place and removed when
desired. A plan for doing this is shown
IN the illustration. A gate IL made
OF proper material reaching from the
manger to the end Of the stall. The
post Of this gate at the end IL madc
about a foot longer than the lower
rail and q hole is made in the floor
through which this post u slipped
when put in position and thus makes
the gate or fence firm. At the manger-
end the fence is fastened to the man
ger by pair of gate hinges.
Two stiff sticks are fastened to the
joist above with bolt, one over the
manger-end and one over the other
end. In the lower end of each Of these
sticks notch Is cut which comes over

Beat Food for Fatteninp I.amb.-

Very careful experiments at the On
tario Agricultural College have shown
that an even mixture Of peas and oats
made the most profit in feeding lambs.
Peas alone make the most gain, but
NJ a somewhat greater cost of feed.
Corn and peas made a slightly small
Ter gain than the other feeds. But
the difference was so small that the
convenience Of procuring the feed is
the largest element in the case. AS
peas and oats may be grown together
very conveniently and cheaply, this
crop secures some advantages over
others which may give 1t q preference
In this regard.

Grain Feeding.


In some observations recently made
In the feeding of grain to lambs, one
OF the most noticeable results was the
early maturity of those that had grain
from birth. Forinstance, in one trial the
lambs fed with grain from birth at.
tanned an average weight of 113
pounds seven weeks earlier than those
that had had no grain previous to fat
tening, and this weight was reached at
smaller cost in the instance Of the
lambs fed on grain from the start.
1t is a hard matter to estimate the
amount Of grain to feed, owing to the
variation in the consuming capacity
of sheep. In starting it has been Gus.
tomary to feed from half a pound to
one pound. A month later the wethers
will probably be taking from one to
two pounds, and during the last month
from two to three.-American Cultiva.

trated on Russia, and the public con.
viction grows that the Muscovite en-

Hope Against Birth of Son.
Everybody but the car is hoping
against the birth of son. They dread
the dangers to the state that would
arise from a sovereign called to reign
during his minority. The car is now
36 years old. It would be a liberal es-
innate to give his reign still 20 years.
His inadequate physical condition and
the nerve destroying strain, aside from
the danger of assassination, reduces
his life to very moderate insurance
value Should there be no son, and the
present czarowich, who is not married,
not reach the throne, the succession
would go to the family of Grand Duke
Vladimir, the cars uncle, who is I'M
mt to rule because of violent self in
diligence and lack of consideration for
all who come in contact with him.
Vladimir's elder son, Cyril, will prop
ably renounce his place in the line OF
succession in order that he may marry
his cousin, the NIvorced wife of the
grand duke Of Hesse. His next broth
er, Boris, would probably be removed
from the list by the council of state
should he become heir apparent on the
grounds of dissolute imbecility.
There remains third son, Andre,
who is personally more acceptable, al
though he suffers to some extent
through the general dislike of his faith
er and brother. He is liked by the
army, and is a vigorous young man
and a capable officer
The accouchment of the czarine is
daily expected.

Temporary Work Done Because of
Irrigation Projects.

Irrigation Projects.
Connell, Wash, Aug. 1.-THE La
Crosse branch of the .. r. e. N. rail-
road was completed to Cornell Satur-
day. The construction crew of 100
men was then serenaded by the local
band, while general treat of beer
and cigars was handed out by the Cit
liens.
The operation of trains is anticipated
for next Monday. The division extends
from Connell to Tekoa, via the Pleas
ant Valley branch.
The track laid consists of sixteen
miles over an old right of way aban-
doned about eleven years ago. 1t &C.
cupies the Washtuckna Coulee and
traverses the full length of the reser-
voir sites surveyed this summer for
the Palouse irrigation project by the
government engineers.
The construction of the road was
completed in twenty three days and is
of the most temporary order, as the
company expects to relay the track
higher up as soon as the irrigation bu-
reau begins work on the ditch. This
statement is authorized by the railroad
company.

line of bobbing blue, and to these spec
tators the veterans sent back cheers
and hand waves of greeting. The hu-
man flag that the G. A. r. committee
had planned so carefully was all that
could be hoped for. The stand, espe-
cially constructed for it, was on the
Common facing Temple place, through
