If you are afraid that your black
berries are not hardy, lay the plants
down and cover the tips lightly with
soil.
Go among the calves every day and
handle them, using gentle, pet words;
and just notice how they will watch
for you, and grow!
Turn that old hog yard upside down.
Get the filthy -disease-impregnated-
germ-infested dirt under, and fresh
dirt on top. A hog delights in clean
dirt
Cut off asparagus tops and burn
those with berries on them, as the
seeds may sprout where they are not
wanted. Mulch with two or three
inches Of rough manure.
Small and lately planted trees must
be staked and tied with broad band.

A thermometer should be used to en-
able every dairyman to know the diff
| ference between the temperature of
the atmosphere and available water,
also the temperature of his dairy, milk
and cream.
1t is Il very common practice for
| some to wish for certain results with
out making much effort to help pro-
duce the desired result. Many a man
has failed because his wishbone has
| been where his backbone ought to
have been.
Hog breeders who have strong rea-
sons to keep up growth and yigor in
their young stock should not fail to
keep young boars penned well

thrift and growth.

mended for large houses and hot water

steam can be used for small houses
