Timely Notes on Handling Plants For
Easter and Early Spring Bloom.

Timely Notes on Handling Plants Fo.
Easter and Early Spring bloom.
January is a good time to make an
other sowing Of sweet peas for indoor
blooming. start them i'll four inch pots,
sowing about a half dozen seeds in a
rot, and when they are three inches
high plant them out on bench OF
bed, the latter preferred. Rich, heavy
soil is necessary in which to grow
them. Plant them in rows across the
bed. leaving a space of two feet be-
tween the rows, and support the vines
with chicken Wire Plenty of head
room is necessary, for they will grow
fully five or six feet high. They can
stand abundance of feeding in the
shape of liquid manure after they are
once fairly started and require fire.
quent Swinging TO keep red spider III
check
The Bougain villaeas which are now
in a semidormant state in a cool house
can be placed in Il few degrees higher
temperature to bring them into flower
for Easter. A temperature of go de-
grees is about right Extreme forcing
is not advisable, for the shoots are la
Bile to grow blind. Give them plenty of
syringing and water more freely as
growth commences. The Bougain vii
laea is valuable when in flower not
only as a decorative plant, for its beau
tiful bracts hang for many weeks in
living room, but also as cut sprays.
Small plants of fuchsias propagated
in November should be shifted along
into larger pots Use plenty of old
hotbed manure in the SOIL for they
fairly revel in it. Half manure, if well
rotted, is not too much. Give them
plenty of room in light place, mod
erately warm. so as not to draw the
plants up. They will not require shade
for six weeks more. Top the plants a
week or two after shifting, growing
from three to five branches to the
plant
Acacias and elicas can be had in
flower at any time now by applying
little more heat for d few weeks.
Those for Easter had better be Kept
in cool house for another six weeks,
for late in the season they can be forced
into flower in short time by raising
the temperature to 90 degrees.-Gar-

A GOOD, STOUT SLED.

One Of Tire Best of Winter Vehicles
Can he Esaae In tne Farm shop.
This is the season when the virtues
Of the farm sled are thoroughly appar-
ent. TO BE entirely satisfactory a sled
should be well shaped and strong,
while as light as may be. 4 National
Stockman writer's plan for such a sled
appears to be very desirable and is as
follows:
The best slea is made from runners
with a natural crook. These runners
may be sawed from a small crooked
tree body or from a log having tbs
main root dug out and cut off two and
half or three feet from the stem Of
the tree. a small blue ash nearly al
ways has a good "sled root, and it is
often found in elm or white oak.
This log is taken to the sawmill and
the runners sawed out eight feet long
on the bottom, two inches thick and
seven inches wide. A log one foot in
diameter will make two sets, and the
charge for saving them is SO cents a
set. 1t is best to have them seasoned,
but many good sleds are made from
freshly sawed lumber. Plane your run
ners smooth and shape out one for a
pattern When you get it Just right
use it to mark the other by
The sled known as the knee sled, as
shown here. is generally admitted to
be the best kind of sled made. Cut
mortises at A A A in each runner, these
mortises to be / by 3 inches and four
inches deep. The front mortise should
be one foot back of where the crook
turns up and the rear one one foot from
back end of runner
For knees (B B b use the very best
of timber. Make the knees fourteen
inches long and three and half inches
square. Cut lemons on each end, the
lower three and three-quarters inches
long and ] by inches in size to fit
the mortise in the runner. The upper
tenor is cut at right angles with the
lower one and should be one-fourth of

skim NliIk For Pics.

From results of trials in feeding
skim milk to pigs H. H. Wing Of the
New York Cornell experiment station
calculates that, on the whole, skim
milk is worth about 10 cents per hum
dredweight when fed to pigs from the
time of weaving until they weigh
about 125 pounds. Clear cornmeal is
perfectly satisfactory as a single grain
when fed in connection with skim milk
Weanling pigs in close quarters during
cold weather can be made to gain a
pound live weight per day for three
months. There are indications that
the proportion of skim milk can be in
creased economically above the ratio
Of three pounds of milk to one pound
Of grain usually recommended, thus
lessening the amount of grain food
that must be purchased.

It's Early Pruning and Training-Cnt-
ting Back In Fall or Winter.
The support for the young grape
vine at first may be temporary, a mere
stake or pole. sufficiently strong to bear
its weight and tall enough to train it
in an upright position for one or two
seasons. During this time the vine
should be trained as single shoot,
from which all lateral or side branches
are pinched off as soon as they are
formed These laterals or side branch
es will start at a point above each
leaf and will be very easily broken off
if attended to early.
At the end of the first years growth
Of the young vine treated as thus di-
rected it may be expected to resemble
that in the illustration Gig y. A well
cultivated vine of the Concord or some
equally strong growing variety should
then be from five to ten feet in length.

Belgium exports annually from nine

In 1896 the eight agricultural socie-

Belgian agricultural Societies was
formed. Today there are thirty-two af-

over 1000 members. The aim of the
federation is to encourage breeding in
the several branches Of agriculture and
especially to develop aud increase the

Grade Dairy Cattle,

The Michigan experiment station is
collecting a herd of grade dairy cattle
throughout the state with Il view of
determining what can be accomplished
in up grading to improve the common
dairy cattle of the country, or, in other
words, to see how long it will take to
produce a light grade equal to a full
blood from the standpoint of utility.
The experiment will last over q period
of twelve years. The secondary object
of the experiment will be to determine
what good care, feed and management
will do TO increase the productiveness
Of the foundation herd over the aver
age production Of the dairy cow.

Egg Eating Hens.

l have kept poultry for twenty-five
years and have always been troubled
more or less with my fowls eating
their eggs, says New York farmer in
American Agriculturist. Last spring
it got very serious. as they ate at least
fifty eggs per day. Inquiry among diff
ferent breeders for a cure brought no
information except to cut off their
heads. | fed 100 fowls four pounds of
salt pork at two different times and
found it effected cure. It likewise
proved successful with ten neighbors

Sire Moro Than Half.

The old saying, 1.-THE sire is half the
herd" does not always express the
whole truth. said Professor Fraser of
Illinois university in a recent address.
In a sire whose ancestors have been
bred for dairy purposes only these
characteristics have become firmly
fixed, and when crossed on cows of no
special breeding will produce calves
more like the sire than the dam. In
this case the sire counts for more than
half. 4 dairyman may start with moth
ing but the most ordinary cows, and
by simply breeding to dairy sires of
excellent quality and pure breeding he
will in a few years have a fine work
ing herd Do not misunderstood me.
/ am advocating grading but not cross
ing breeds. Great harm has been done
and is still being done to the dairy cat
tie of the country by crossing.

The kind of bird to head a breed
ing pen is one approaching closely to
standard requirements certainly, but
this is not ALL says an Illinois poultry
man in American Poultry Journal. He
must possess vigor that he may be the

must not be a sick bird cured. but one
that has never been sick; one whose
growth has been continuous, whose
step has always been elastic and whose
eye has always been bright.

Annlex and pomace For COWS.

Apples contain only II per cent of
solid matter. and of this one=half is
sugar. There is very little real nutri-
ment in apples, but what there is is
healthful and wholly free from objec-
ton in any way, says American Guilt
vator. They have a distinct tendency
TO increase the milk, and without less
ening its value in any way. This is
probably on account of their effect in
aiding the digestion of other food. The
crushed pulp Of apples the pomace of
cider mills-is very agreeable TO cows,
and as it may be kept in good condi-
tion packed III barrels as soon as it is
taken from the press, it is worth while
to save it. This kind Of feed, too, helps
