Farm, Chat.

It costs less to clean up the cellar
than 1t does to pay the doctor.
1t is not only unwise, but wrong to
attempt to breed poultry in filthy quar-
tiers.
1t is the mixed farming that brings
in continuous stream of money the
whole year round. In speciality farm
ing it usually comes in chunks.
On steep ground it is always good
plan to keep the narrowing very close
up behind the planter to prevent wash
ing. This is not necessary on level
or gently rolling land.
Not every new thing offered by nur-
serymen and seedsmen proves to be a
good thing, but every good thing was
once new. We cannot always afford to
ignore the novelties.
The farmers dollars seem to be
shining marks for spectators and
grafters to seek. The whole world is
after them. There are farmers who
actually need comforts in their homes
who invest money In get rich quick"
schemes and the family suffers in con.
sequence.

Planting Corn Wide Apart.


This is the idea of writer in the
County Gentleman: So far as my OBJ
servation goes, farmers generally have
their corn rows too close. One of the
principal reasons Is to avoid extra
blowing, since many burrows are re-
Quired for wide rows. A little thought
will show that If corn be planted in
seven-foot drills and in four-foot drills
so as to give the same number of
stalks in each per acre, the stalks in
the seven-foot drills will have much
more loose earth to root in than the
stalks of the four-foot drills, because
wide rows admit of much more thor
ough cultivation than narrow rows
and this extra quantity of loose earth
thus produced will tell. A suitable
narrow pillow should be run several
times in the bottoms of the drills, thus
constructing loose beds for the corn;
this is an important feature and should
not be omitted.
Fran one to two tons per acre OF
properly balanced stable manure may
be applied in the drills and well mixed
with the soil. 1t Is well known that
stable manure contains an excess Of
nitrogen. Consequently If the manure
be applied In it's natural state there
will be a waste of nitrogen, which is
the most costly element of fertility.

Fresh, Fish Cakes.

Have ready mashed potato, either
hot or cold, and to two cups of this
allow two tablespoonfuls of butter and
one egg. Put with the potato an equal
quantity of faxed fish-baked Or
boiled-and mix thoroughly. II there
is no fish sauce with which to moistena
the mixture and it seems too stiff,
soften it with very little milk. Form
into cakes, fry slices of bacon in their
own fat, and after taking them out fry
the cakes in the fat that is left in the
pan. Keep the bacon hot while the
cakes are cooking, and serve it on the
same dish with the fish cakes.

One Man Who Considers Speaker Gan

mons Clerk All Powerful.
There Is one man in this country
who thinks that Asher c. Kinds, the
clerk at the Speakers desk, is an a l.
powerful individual. During the last
few weeks that Henderson was Speak
er, veteran from Minnesota came to
the House and tried to get through a
pension bill. He sat around for days,
and finally reaching Kinds he an
nounced his intention of camping" in
front of the door until Loren Fletcher
was recognized by the Speaker to call
up the bill. "You can make him do
It," he said to Kinds.
'Now, see here" said Kinds. IF
you stay here III make it my business
to see that your bill is never called
up, but if you go away and mind your
business, l will try and see what |
can do for YOU"
A day or two after Fletcher called
up the bill, and it was passed. The
veteran was in the gallery and saw the
way it was done. After the adjourn
ment of Congress he called on Kinds,
saying he wanted to withdraw papers
from the House files concerning the
pension claim. Kinds assured him
that he could not do anything Of that
kind, as it required consent OF the
House.
"Oh, yes, you cam" said the veteran.
"You can do anything. Didn't you
mace nv bill?"
AZ didn't have anything to do with
passing your BILL said Kinds.

old man. wasn't 1 up in the gallery!

Training the Chickens.

The natural instinct of fowls
prompts them to roost high above
the ground, not for sanitary reasons,
but to be out of harms way, where
they cannot be molested by maraud-
ers which prowl about at night, ready
to pounce on them for their suppers.
For this reason the young chicks
soon make their way to the fence-top
and from there to the tree-tops, and
when once they have acquired the
habit it is very hard to break them.
They soon develop crooked breast
bones and humble foot, or worse still,
catch cold, which in time changes to
roup, and all our work is wasted. They
should be compelled to rooSt on the
ground, in or near their coops, until
they are four months old, after which
they should be taught to go to the
house, and for them a separate one
should be built They should not be
compelled to fight for places on the
roost with old fowls, but should have
quiet place all by themselves.

The infested fields were carefully in

then pulled up and burned throughout
this area, leaving here and there a
sentinel stalk to serve as trop upon

After burning the stalks, the ground

Beautifying the Farm Home.

Identifying the Farm Home.
Ihis is matter which receives little
consideration on the average farm
With every possibility for making their
homes the most beautiful, so far as i'm
mediate surroundings are concerned,
farmers are apt to do little or nothing
toward this end
The United States Department of
Agriculture has issued bulletin, No.
1S5, devoted to the subject of beautify-
Ing the home grounds. 1t is filled with
timely suggestions as to the use of
shrubs and flowers, and also contains
working plans for laying out the
grounds about the home. 1t gives
some valuable suggestions on the main
tenance OF the greensward. This bull
letin can be obtained by writing the
department.
True it is that the average farmer
has little time for what he is inclined
to call "fussing" with flower beds and
the like. Nevertheless, it would pay
him to find little time to devote to
this subject OF pleasant home grounds.
Almost every woman takes a keen de
light in flowers. Often her flower beds
are the only recreation which the
farmers wife has. Too often these are
hidden at the back of the house. Com
paratively seldom are ornamental
shrubs to be found on the farm. These
things rightly combined can go far to-
ward making the home attractive, not
only to it's inmates, but to everyone
that passes. The labor involved will be
compare lively insignificant when the
results obtained are considered. Home
is, or should be, the most beautiful
place on earth. Why not avail yourself
of natures joyfully given cooperation
in identifying it's immediate surround
ings? Here is subject to interest ev.
