Garden Hints.


The suckers of gooseberries, currants
and red raspberries should be rigidly
pulled.
In making the home garden do not
overlook garlic, chives, shallots, herbs,
etc.. as they are exceedingly desirable
for fiavoring purposes.
This seasons growth of raspberry
canes should be pinched Off and they
will throw out fruit laterals. This is
important, for on it depends next sea-
sons crop of berries.
Early varieties of dwarf peas can
be grown between the rows of tomato
plants. By the time the tomatoes are
large enough to occupy the ground the
peas will be out of the way. The pea
vines may be removed or left as a
mulch for the tomatoes.
In May the seeds of sweet corn and
all the wrinkled varieties of peas
should be sown and little later Gu
cumbers, melons, sQuashes, pumpkins
and gourds may be put In the open
ground A fork full Of well rotted ma
nure in the hill is the proper food for
these plants.

Water for Swine.


There are farmers who raise swine
and never feel it necessary to give
them water to drink. They argue that
as the slop is composed largely of
water that is all that is necessary.
1t probably is, in many cases, where
the slop consists of one part solids and
nine parts water, but If the slop is
nutritious, as it should be, and If corn
is fed in addition, the swine need con-
siderable water. Men of experience
claim that swine carefully watered are
rarely diseased, and they have little
difficulty in preventing them from max.
ing wallows. AS a matter of fact
about half Of the nastiness of the hog
is due to the carelessness of its owner
Give the hog half chance and he OF
she will be reasonably clean. Try the
trough Of cold, clean water at feeding
time and see for yourself what the
swine think of 1t.

Breeding Po11ed Calves,


Answering the query, Are double
standard Polled Durham bulls as sure
to get 'polled calves from horned cows
as are Angus bulls?" F. 8. Hines says
In Breeders Gazette:
Without knowledge as to the per-
centage Of polled calves got by Angus
bulls used on horned cows it would
naturally seem that the Angus bulls
would be the surer dehorners, as they
have been bred hornless for many gen.
erations, while Polled Durhams are
not many removes from horns. How
ever, there are many Polled Durham
bulls that have made excellent records
as dehorners, some having as high as
80 per cent of polled calves from horn
ed cows.
If your correspondent wishes to
breed polled calves his best course
would be to buy an aged Polled Dur
ham bull with a good record as de
horner. There is a great deal of the
lottery about this breeding off the
horns," just as there is in breeding In
general, and some bulls with many
polled crosses are not as sure dehorn-
ers as those with only one cross Of
polled blood. Therefore I should ad-
wise your correspondent not to try a
young bull, but to get one that is
known by his works.

sub-soiIing for Orchards.

Fruit trees, and particularly apples,
require deep soil and, Of course, one
that is fairly rich. There are hum
dreds Of acres of rich clay soils that
would do splendidly for apples if prop
erly prepared. Trials which have re-
suited in failures have been almost
wholly due to the fact that the soil
had not been opened deep enough to
permit the roots of the trees properly
to penetrate it.
If such soils had been subsoiled,
using the implement made for that
purpose which does not throw back a
wide furrow, the roots would have a
chance to get into the soil several
inches deeper than otherwise, and
after that would be strong enough to
pierce the soil below without its being
losened OF course it must be remem-
bered that if the soil below the dis
tance penetrated by the subsoiler is
wet and remains so, it is not suited
tc tree roots. On the other hand, il
it is simply wet enough to retain a
good amount of moisture, the trees
will then make a most desirable
growth.
