Destroy all cocoons and egg clus-
tiers found on fruit and shade trees.
Modern agriculture is fortified by
science.
The city man IL known by the COM
pany he keeps. the farmer by the stock
he keeps.
Trim the fingernails and smooth
down the voice. The cow will appre-
ciate both at milking time.
Take time to strip the COW these
days, or you will miss the richest of
the milk.
The United States exported S6,4s2
horses, valued at s3,976,O10 during the
IL months ended May, 1906.
1t is not safe to break up glazed
crockry for fowls. as the glazing has
been known to act as a poison.
Put the dust box where the sun can
get at it part of the day. My, how
the hens will revel in it.
Bushes trimmed in the fall and the
cane burned will be apt to suffer less
from insect pests next year.
Weevils In chestnuts or grain may
easily be killed by treatment with the
fumes of carbon bisulphide.
Rake up the old vines and rubbish
IN the garden and burn. Many an In
furious insect will thus be gotten
rid of.
When you cash in on the crops,
don't forget that the wife and daugh-
ters want little spending money and
are entitled to 1t.
Have thermometer in the bee eel
lar and don't let the temperature get
below As degrees.
Have you washing facilities in the
dairy barn for the use Of the mixers?
For the sake of cleanliness have wa
ter, soap and towel handy.
Make the most out Of your present
location before you are lured Off to
what seems like a more promising
farming section.
The pecuniary prospects for young
man well-trained In agriculture are
more certain and better than the pros
poets Of the average business young
man.
whiting down the cows ration
may save on the feed bill, but look
out that the loss on the milk yield
does not more than balance the ac-
count.
Whitewash in which enough kero-
sene has been put to give 1t a good
keroseny smell is excellent for the
poultry house. Lice don't like 1t, but
the hens do.
4 It is always best to have perches on
q level or nearly so, for where placed
one above another in racks there Is
scramble for the top perch, disturb
ing struggle and overcrowding.
In improving your flocks remember
that It is better to stick to one va
riety. Secure new blood when needed,
but not a new breed. Your dressed
poultry will then all have the same
appearance, your eggs the same form,
character and color.
The farmer who is dreaming OF easy
farming life in some distant paradise
he has seen advertised or heard tell
about at the state fair, Is missing the
golden opportunities which lie right at
his door on the old farm.
What did you get of good out OF the
state or county fair you attended? II
you didn't learn something, IL you
were not stimulated to better effort, II
you did not get a new idea In your
Uranium your time was wasted.
Better begin planning now for some
course of reading or study this winter
which will make of you better farm
er. And In your reading, don't forget
to include some one or more Of the
excellent farm journals of the country.
IF / were planting an orchard In
the west" remarked a prominent hor-
ticulturist, II would plant a windbreak
of evergreen trees first, and when the
fruit trees were set out, stand wide
board q little longer than the height
of the young trees to the windward
eide Of them. Another plan which
would save the cost Of lumber, would
be to envelop the trees before winter
with mantle Of long straw.
At first thought parcels post
sounds nice, but studied from all
points Of view Is IL really to the ad-
vantage Of the rural communities?
Mail order houses would reap rich
qarvests. but how about the local msr'
