Dislxing Before breaking Ground.
In this section many growers are
disking the land for the whole corn
crop before breaking it. The disk is
loaded well, three horses put on and
then Tapped half This cuts or breaks
any trash or stalks and renders them
easily turned to the bottom Of the fur
row with jointer
A still greater good comes from the
mulch 1t prepares, which retains mois-
ture. 1t is common for farmers to say
that their ground is getting hard dur
ing the last week of breaking; that it
dulls the pillow and turns cloddy." All
this is avoided by the mulch, and one
can break at his leisure. The top is
narrowed the same day it is broken If
the weather is dry, so that 1t pulyerizes
easily into fine SOIL After this it takes
but little work to prepare nice mel

if weighted and if the disks are sixteen

Without il doubt the King system is
the best system Of ventilation that
those about to build COW barn can in
stall. Old barns that have no good
system Of ventilation would be greatly
improved if this system were establish
ed, writes a New York dairyman to
American cultivator.
The stable should be made as tight as
possible, ceiling it overhead and on the
sides, constructing the walls Of wood
and not stone. A wooden wall with
three to four dead air spaces is much
cheaper than the average stone wall,
and it is very much warmer and drier.
The following is a good way TO con-
struct the walls: On the outside have
by 4 studding on which the clap
boards are nailed. On the inside over
them spread a layer of building paper,
Then spike a 2 by 2 stud to each of the
2 by 4 uprights over the paper and go
over with another layer Of paper. Then
spike on another 2 by 2 stud and an
other layer of paper and finish by cell
ing inside with ship lap. Make the
fresh air intakes by setting an s by 10
iron register in the clapboarding on the
outside down near the sill and between
the studding, which constitutes the air
duct. Then at the top, even with the
inside ceiling, cut out of the bslilding
paper walls an 8 by 10 passage to per-
nit the air to come into the stable.
Place an iron register IN the ceiling
wall. The register should be made to
open or close, as necessary. For a

herd of fifty or more there should be
thirty registers on the inside and the
same number on the outside.
The fresh air is constantly rising
and flowing into the stables through
the layer Of warm air that rises and
remains at the top Of the stable rooms.
This warm air cannot flow out Of the
registers and down because it Is too
light. In this way a constant supply
of fresh air is introduced into the sta
BILE. The warm air remains warm pro-
vided ali the hay and silo chutes are
closed when not being used. The tight
er the stable is closed the better will
this system Of ventilation operate.
To take the foul air out one or more
air shafts must be constructed. For
herd Of fifty animals it should not be
less than three feet square and lined
with tin or zinc on the inside to make
it air tight, so that the draft may be
strong enough to take up the foul air,
which is 10 per cent heavier than COM
mon air. The shaft should rise well
above the ridge Of the roof. A large
iron register 2 by 8 feet should be set
in at the bottom Of the shaft even with
the floor. At the top Of the room an
other register, same size as the lower
one, may be set into the shaft to let off
the warm air If the temperature rises
too high.

FILTERED water In ButtermaISing.

The keeping quality is an important
item In butter, and 1t may not be amiss
at the beginning Of the warm season
to recall one way of making butter
that viii keep longer than the ordinary
sort. A season or two ago the Iowa
experiment station demonstrated the
fact that the use Of pasteurized milk
and pasteurized water with which to
wash the butter will have this effect.
Pasteurization, however, is trouble
some, and In Its place it Is suggested to
use pure filtered water, which will
serve much the same purpose:

Where carlas Are Grown.

In southern California the Gala Is
grown in fields for commercial pur.
poses. The cut flowers are in great
demand. At Eastertide tens of thou
sands of the long stemmed eallas are
used in flower schemes. The lessons
learned in the field growing Of callas
are applicable to the pot culture Of this
very responsive plant The semiaquat-
ic nature Of the Gala demands constant
moisture. In the fields irrigatioE an
swers Its every demand. In pots or
tubs the same principle Is applied.

Hen Manure and Ashes.

Don't mix hen manure and ashes for
fertilizer, because the resulting chemi-
cal action will cause the loss Of am
monia, as one can readily detect by
the odor. If these two materials are
to be applied to the same ground mix
the ashes well with the soil first and
later apply the manure.

brains In the Business.

The reason for the bountiful crops in
the United States within the past eight
or ten years may not be assigned en-
tirely to favorable climatic conditions
or exceeding fertility Of the soil; but,
on the other hand, the great output is
the result Of brains. Every year more
brains are put into farming in this

Every neighborhood should have a
