One Of the most ungracious things
which a farmer can do is to refer with
contempt to the work of our expert
ment stations, for these stations are
doing an almost invaluable work for
the agricultural interests Of the whole
country.

A mistake is always made and a bad
one, too, when timothy seed is mixed
with the grass seed sown on the lawn.
1t always makes patchy and uneven
lawn and is very difficult to extermi-
nate. 1t grows in tussocks, Is coarse
and outgrows the blue grass. Keep
timothy and red clover off the lawn.

Once in awhile there comes a season
when June planted corn will make a
big crop, but not often, and most corn
growers have about settled down to
the belief that they had better plant
early and risk late spring frost rath-
er than an early fall frost.

One Of the very best peas for garden

The best thing which can be said for
the skunk is that he is a great lover OF
cutworms, but he also likes young
chickens. Our experience with this
odorous brute is that on the whole he
is an agricultural pest and should be
exterminated.

Your neighbor will always be found
to have some peculiarities-will look
at things and do things differently
from you. 1t will do much to promote
good neighborly feeling between you
and him if you look with kindness and
charity upon his peculiarities and give
him credit for good intentions and hon
est purposes until compelled to think
otherwise.

The windmill on the farm should be
made to do far more useful work than
1t usually does. 1t should do the
churning, the separating, turn the

supply Of water under pressure. AS II

pump the water for the stock.

How many times should the corn be
plowed? Some pillow twice, some three
times, some four and some FIVE. This
we know - the more frequently the
ground is stirred during the growing
period, especially If the weather is dry,
the better the crop will be. Cultiva-
ton conserves moisture, and it is mois-

A writer for the agricultural press in
reporting the condition of fruit makes
the statement that the wintry April Of
this year will insure a large crop Of
fruit by delaying the blooming period.
The crop is determined by the growth
Of the previous season, when the bios
som buds are formed. A late, cold
spring holding back the blooming pc
Rod can only contribute to immunity
from danger Of late frosts. That's all.
On the plains Of Esdraelon, In Pal
estine, the wheatfelds are still sown

floors. This Palestine country Is sus-
ceptible of all the splendid develop
ment Of California when once touched
by the wand Of modern progress, but
It remains In Just the condition It was
