You should make veal Of the JERSEY
steer calf If for no other reason than
that some sucker will try to make q
beef critter out of him later on If you

Just because once in six years man
can raise a good crop on pond hole
that is no reason why such ground
should be cultivated. Far better keep
it in grass or else tile it out.
A good many men complain about
their clover killing out, when the fact
is it dies because it has lived it's al
lotted two years. The general rule is
that after 1t produces a crop of seed
It dies.
There is one peculiar thing about the
strawberry, and that is just as soon
as the season for them is about over
the people want them worse than ever.
What we need is an August straw
berry.
There is always time to put tools
where they belong when done using
them, for if not done then twice as
much time will be taken to hunt them
up when next wanted. See If this
isn't SO.

so that the route is diverted to some
other locality will live to regret his av.

fool to turn down such a benefit when
1t comes his way.
The statement Is made that the culti

tues priced by the heather Chinee, and
he will have none of it, so If one can

the Jig is up on ginseng.
There Is very much In common be-
tween the rat and the sparrow. Both
are imported pests of our modern civi
l1zation. Each possesses the power OF
reproduction in a most extraordinary
degree, and each is evidently intended
as food for other and higher forms OF
life
II one will take the trouble to secure

tree, he will have trees which when
grown are free from the very bad hab
it the female tree has of shedding its
lint The male tree is a very clean and
handsome quick growing tree for all

One Of the representatives Of farm
separator company makes the claim
for his machine that he can take hard
we'll water and extract soft water from
it by running it through his machine
at a high rate of speed. Maybe he
can, but we are inclined to think there
is one thing he cannot extract from his
machine, and that is the truth.
Each year emphasizes the need of a
reliable labor supply to meet the needs
Of the United States, both on the farm
in the home. factory and mill. Labor
has become so aggressive and dictate
rial in matters entirely outside the
mere matter Of wages that if man
would enjoy life the less he has to do
with hired help of any kind the better
he is off,
Spraying the potato plant to pre-
vent the blight has become almost a
necessity with the successful potato
grower. The spray is what is known
as bordeaux mixture and if applied at
the proper time will entirely prevent
damage by blight. For the potato bee
tie, which will often finish up crop
in short order if not prevented, a So
luton Of paris green Is used.
There are not a few troubles con-
nected with farming under an irrigat-
ing system. It is no such picnic as it
is often represented to be. There is the
partial or entire failure Of the water
supply and the monopoly Of what wa
ter there may be by those who have
the prior right up the stream; then
there are many places where irrigation
