PEDpLING VEGETABLES.

Located near thriving summer
resort, the writer has for years OBJ
served the methods employed by
truckers as well as by the men who
buy all they sell, and has observed
that, in nine cases out of ten, the lat
ter are the best merchants, and gem
orally because the vegetables they
buy have been graded by the whole
saler SO that they are presented to
the consumer in an attractive form.
The man who raises vegetables, on
the other hand, hates to see anything
he can not sell, and he tries to get
rid of Gull stuff by hiding it among
the better vegetables. AS result he
soon loses his trade. A lady house
keeper in town recently remarked
that she rarely bought things of far
mers because she found their pro-
ducts were not reliable.
This is certainly sad state of af-
fairs, for who should better be able
to deliver first class stuff than the
man who raises it. And who is better
able to know what first class stuff is
than the farmer. There is not man
in the country with a thriving town
within easy reach who should not be
able practically to control the best
trade in that town in the products Of
his farm, at least against the middle
man, if he will be honest in the grad
ing of his goods and put them up as
attractively as the competitor. Sure
Iy the average housekeeper prefers
the vegetable fresh from the ground to
those that have been shipped from a
distance; but, on the other hand, she
has no wish to find culls among the
things for which she had paid fair
price. See the point ?-Indianapo

USEFUL HINTS.


Be ready for harvest in good sea
son.
Keep the soil of the cultivated crops
in good filth.
The farmer who has the least waste
usually has the most profit.
Get rid of the surplus horses If they
are not growing into money.
In many instances the cultivation
decides whether the harvest will bo
much or little.
Preserve the health, vitality and
usefulness of the horses by giving
them change of feed occasionally.
Pasture fields without good shade
in them are not fit for horses ac this
time of the year.
Breed in line as much as possible.
The crossing of blood seldom does as
well as pure breeding.
Good butter and cheese cannot be
made from the milk of cows which
are deprived of pure water.
A fattening animal of any kind
should never have more food placed
before it than it will eat up with avid
ity.
Where dairying is made a part OF
the farm operation and five or more
cows kept, a good cream separator
will nearly always be found good in
vestment. More cream is secured.
the sweet skim-milk can be used to a
better advantage, while there is a
large saving of time and labor-Kan-
sas Farmer.

BREEDING HINTS.

Commence at once to breed your
cows, your mares, your sheep and
your hogs to pure bred sires. With
the same care and feed you are giving
now, you will be surprised to note the
improvement that will come over
your herds and flocks from this one
act. Have no more use for scrub
sires in your herds and flocks than
you have for the quack doctor in your
families. The work that both accom-
plish in promoting improvement to
our general welfare amounts to the
same thing. Well bred animals re-
spond to good feeding. Study to feed
well and to encourage maximum
growth and production on the part of
every animal To do this be thought
full of the needs of your animals
throughout the entire year. Growing,
fattening, milking and laboring ami
mails require more than mainten-
ance ration to insure any profit in
their keep. Farm scales and feed
measures in the hands of men quick
to observe and exercise good judg-
ment will promote economical feed
ing and profitable returns. Carerrir
attention to the matter of breeding,
feeding and sanitary condition l be-
lieve will do more than anything else
to ward off and eradicate diseases
which are more or less prevalent
among our farm animals.-Weekly
Witness.

USE IMPROVED MACHINERY.

The hay crop is like all other crops
the farmer harvests in that it is MOST

ground and be sure that 1t is in a
condition that he can use machinery

or any of the distractions that may
be found In the most of our fields
l would make the ground as level as
possible before sowing. and take out
all stumps that could be removed.
Then in the spring l would haul on
large rocks; or this could be done
after breaking is over. But the
ground should be rolled in the spring
to mash the small rocks down, and
also the mole hills. After all this
is done then l would say your ground
would be prepared to use the hay
tools that are up to date.
One of the most essential things
one must notice when commencing to
make hay is the condition of the
grass. If it is not matured enough for
