SHALLOW CIVILIZATIONS.

1t has been demonstrated beyond
question that shallow cultivation of
the soil during the summer gives good
results, serving, as it does, to retain
the moisture in the soil. Attention
is called however, to the fact that
oftentimes the methods of soil culti-
walton are wrong. The general prac-
tice is to cultivate growing crops deep
" early in the season reserving the
shallow cultivation until midsummer.
1t is now believed that this plan is
wrong ON the principle that as it is
desired to warm the soil early in the
season the shallow cultivation will &C.
complish that, while the deeply cul-
tiyated soil should be later when it
is desired to keep it cold and to cor.
serve the moisture in it. Then. again,
the weeds are more readily killed by
shallow cultivation than by deep cul-
tivation. and, of course, the weeds
should be destroyed before they get
good start. These who have cult
rated along the old lines will do well

GREEN CLOVER HAY.

Some farmers have followed the prac-
tice Of putting up clover hay green
for the past five years, with universal
success. The clover is usually cut
down in the evening, allowed to wilt
the next morning. and stored in the
NOW in the afternoon. This process
prevents the loss of leaves after the
ordinary process Of curing, and places
the hay in the very best possible con-
ditlon for future use. When this hay
is taken out of the NOW, it comes as
fresh and green as the day it was put
in. without any dust Or mould. The
only precaution that seems necessary
is to keep the NOV as tightly closed
as possible for few days after the
hay has been stored in the barn, and
until the heat from the processes Of
fermentation has disappeared. There
have been some cases of spontaneous
combustion reported. but these are
usually the result of storing partially
green hay in stacks. rather than tie
green hay directly from the field-A.

NESTS FOR LAYING HENS.

The experienced poultryman has his
houses so arranged that there is no
lack Of space for every comfort de-
signed for the fowls. Especially does
he look out for good arrangement Of
the nests. placing them where they are
most easy Of access for both himself
and the hens. The farmer, on the
other hand, is inclined to permit the
hens to lay anywhere that suits them,
and, as result, he is afflicted with
hens with q desire to brood nearly all
summer. When he collects the eggs
he frequently misses nests that have
been carefully slowed away in some
dark corner, and when he does find
it he finds either q setting hen or lot
of spoiled eggs. Laying hens are quite
given to liking nests that are clean and
quiet, and If such nests are supplied
there will be no trouble in securing
every egg soon after it is laid and at
the smallest possible expense Of time.
At this season Of the year unusual care
must be taken that the nests are clean
and free from lice, particularly If there
are many young chicks about that
would come in contact with the older
hens. A cool nest may be made by
filling in the bottom of the boz with
dry sand. and covering this sand an
inch thick with clean straw, changing
the straw every ten days ard the sand
once month. Once week a good
sprinkling of some insect powder
through the nest will do ravah to keer
down tbG vcrnin. ------------.----.

THIN TO A HIGH DEGREE.

The grower 70: profit practices thin
ming to high degree. Peaches should
be eight inches apart Oh the limb, most
pears ten inches, according to Pro-
fessor l.. Il. Taft. Frequently half
the plums can be removed. Thinning
not only produces nicer ard better
colorcd fruit, but at the same time
saves money and fertility. That is
peaches, apples, p,ums and pears can
be picked at less expense when small
than matured. Or, in othe" words,
when the fruit is ripe we have only
half the number OF specimens to har-
de and at the same time have moro
bushels.

GRASS FOE PIGS.

The pigs should be turned on grass
as soon as they are Weaned and the
grass is ready. They will then require
no feeding, except mess of ground
oats mixed with middlings, which
should be given at night Corn is too
heating for the pigs during the SUMMER
season, and will do more injury than
benefit. Plenty of grass, with an
abundant supply Of fresh water, is TIC
best food from now until fall.

Under, the cost OF farm fertilizers may
be materially reduced. A good plan
is to sow crimson and red clover mixed,
at the rate of six to eight quarts per
acre, doing the work just before the

that the cultivation is very shallow.
In many cases the stand of clover will
be good and it will 90 through the
winter in fair shape and, when plowed
under, the following spring, will add
greatly to the fertility of the SOIL
1t might pay, in sections where poor
results have come from crimson clover,
to sow rye in place of clover and then
try the clover another year. Or cow
peas may be used in place of rye or
clover. and then the clover tried the
following year. 1t pays to keep on
experimenting until one is able to get

SHEEP ON SMALL FARMS.

1t is mistaken idea to suppose that
large areas are required on which
to raise sheep. 1t is true that it will
not do to crowd too many on a small
area with any idea that they will get
their living from the vegetation there,
but if, say, one hundred sheep were
to be kept on fifteen or twenty acres,
properly handled, together with proper
feeding. would bring desirable results.
Taking twenty acres as the area to be
used, it would be good plan to divide
this into three fields; two fields OF five
acres each and one ten-acre field. The
flve-acre plots should be sown in rape
or some other special feeding crop,
and the ten-acre field used for gen.
eRal grazing. In this plot there should
be shade and water, ard the grain
