THE LITTLE GIRLS GARDEN.

She was little girl only twelve
years old and small for her age at
that, but she was full Of enterprise and
snap, and, firing Of dolls and the like,
she persuaded her father to let her
have just two square rods of his gar
den to run gardeA of her own. We
had the pleasure of seeing this garden
in early July. There was not single
weed to be found in it, and there was
a fine assortment of vegetables of the
most thrifty sort, peas, beans, pota-
toes, tomatoes, cucumbers, radish,
lettuce, cabbage, all nicely cared for,
and our little friend was just as proud
Of her success as would be the owner
Of fine half section farm. And this
work for the little maid was in every
way beneficial and helpful to her. She
has become greatly interested in ma
ture study and intends to enlarge her
work next year to include flowers and
poultry. She might have practiced on
piano or done some sort Of fancy
needlework when she was working in
her garden, but we doubt If she would
have done as we'll

PIONEER DAYS.

Whatever the future may bring, it
will never bring back the old pioneer
days-the days Of the prairie fires, the
logging bees, the sugar making, the
going to mill and market, when a man
babe his family an affectionate fare
well, calculating to sleep under a wag-
on for week; when the meat sup
ply was obtained by the gun and the
fish spear; when prairie chicken, NAL
lard and canvasback duck, wild goose
and brant were everyday fare and a
barrel Of fish the reward Of a nights
fishing; when folk went visiting, took
their bedding with them and stayed
for two days; when all were poor
alike and all farm tools, books, even
food, common property; when a box
Of clothing from some eastern friends
was godsend and the trade of the
pioneer community was mostly barter,
with furs as cash producing com
modify; where the houses were of logs
or Of sod and all were honest and
healthy. With all the attendant hard
ship, there are far worse times than
these old pioneer days.

SILAGE.

There have been many changes Of
opinion touching the proper time to
cut up field corn with which to fill the
silo. When the silo first appeared as
winter forage factor it was supposed
that the corn must be very juicy and
green, and 80 varieties of corn giving
a great growth of stalks were used.
This used to fill the silo in very i'm
mature stage. This made a silage of
a mushy character, which gave rise to
nearly all the objections which have
ever been urged against ensil; re as a
ration. Later it was found It that
there was nothing better out of which
to make ensilage than just common
field corn, and that this should be al
lowed to remain IN the field until al
most ripe before being used, even to
the point of having the leaves and
husks overripe, this sort of ensilage
being dry and carrying a larger per
cent Of nutritive value than when made
Of immature corn.

Many people have to study simplicity
in the matter Of living because Of pow

to and not because they want to. Some

For one day in the year the Amer

Ensilage is much less costly to put

We saw some real skim milk calves
the other day. We doubt if they had
ever tasted whole milk. They looked
just like the poor little orphans at the
English workhouse so we'll described
by Dickens. 1t is all a mistake to try
to raise a good calf On nothing better
than skim milk from the start. They
might have been the best bred animals

food makes scrubs of them.

The easiest possible crop with ia

There are altogether too many people
who are satisfied If they can at the

The great trouble with the American

with slow and safe gains. Nine-tenths
of them commence specializing and
gambling as soon as they can reach up

keep the thing up as long as they live

Just as this is written it is a very
catchy and aggravating time for secur-
ing the hay crop. Not one-half of a
very large crop will be secured as
good forage. When man gets silo
he is entirely exempt from this trouble,
for no matter how much rain may fall
while he is filing his silo it never does
more harm than simply to hinder the
work; the silagH Is always good,
whether put in wet or dry.

The bicycle, which for few years
formed the center of many of the sport
ing events of the country, has COM
pfete1y fallen from its high position
and is valued today solely as utility
machine, in which capacity it is doing
most valuable work. We have not
heard Of a scorcher for nearly two
years, and, If anything, the machines
are more popular out in the country
districts than in the cities. The auto
now monopolizes public attention as a
sporting craze. This in time will fol-
low the bicycle; it will become cheaper
in price, the country horses will get
used to it, and it will take its place
as one of the most valuable means Of
locomotion ever devised.

Two hundred miles to a creamery is
getting to be common thing all
through the west, the cream being
shipped that distance to a central
creamery plant, which converts it into
butter. The cost of shipment is about
a cent pound for the butter it will
make, which is as small a sum as it
can be gathered for and delivered to a
home creamery. This plan is opening
up great possibilities for the dairy
business in localities where COWS have
never heretofore been kept.

We know Of hundreds Of farmers
who would be rid of debt, make more
money and enjoy life a hundred per
cent more if they would just sell half
the land they nominally own. There

the farm and crops and feeling that
it is all your own and that you owe
no man a dollar. Some men never en-
joy this pleasure in all their lives.

A friend asks us to tell him whether
there is any place for the college grad

there is. It never hurts an educated
man to come in contact with the soil,
though at first it may hurt the soil.
The college bred man will be quick TO
see and avail himself Of every help
possible and will take more readily
because Of his training to new and i'm
