THE SPRAYING CALENDAR.

The state experiment stations are do
ing most helpful and practical serv-
ice for all lines Of agricultural and hor-
ticultural work, and as an aid to the
latter there is none which exceeds that
having to do with the proper and scien-
tific handling Of the orchard and gar
den Many of the experiment stations
have issued bulletins on the subject
while others have put in condensed and
concise form directions for spraying
the orchard, fruits, vegetables and
flowers. This spraying calendar should
be in the hands Of every orchardist,
gardener and florist Besides giving di-
rections for making the different spray
ing solutions, the proper time and
method for doing the work are also in
dicated. One Of the latest and most
complete calendars of this character to
be issued is that which has been pre-
pared by the Iowa station at Ames
under the direction of Professor S. A.
Beach, the head of the horticultural de
partment. Residents of the state may
secure the same by applying to G. f..
Curtisp director Of the experiment sta.
ton, while those living outside the state
can doubtless secure the calendar at a
small cost in case their own station
does not issue them.

LOOKING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.

LOOKING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.
The poet Longfellow expresses in his
lines, Into each life some rain must
fall; some days must be dark and
dceary," a generally recognized truth
that finds confirmation in the life Of
every one. 1t is because Of the dark
and blue days, lonesome hours and
the presence Of physical ailment arr.
financial distress that the necessity
arises of looking on the bright side. Of
dwelling in the sunshine rather than
In the shadow and in being bearer Of
good cheer rather than a dispenser Of
Encouragement and depression. It is
in their capacity to promote brightness
and cheer that the chief human mission
and worth of the flowers, the birds.
sunshine and fresh air are to be found.
Childhood's years, too, are full Of this
same unconscious radiance Of buoyaIcy
and happiness, and blessed beyond
measure are those who keep their
youthful endowment intact and as the
autumn Of age creeps on sweeten and
grow mellow in it's golden rays. There
is probably no trait Of character or
habit of mind that contributes so much
toward making life worth living-that
inspires youth, steadies mature life and
sanctifies old age-as looking on the
bright side

VALUE OF BARNARD MANURE.

A series of fertilizer tests conducted
by the Ohio state experiment station
furnish interesting as well as valuable
data concerning the fertilizing value
Of barnyard manure as compared with
some of the more concentrated COM
mercial fertilizers. It was shown that
ton Of average mixed farm manure
as taken from the open barnyard con-
tains nine pounds Of nitrogen, ten of
potassium and three or four pounds of
potash. In one Of the experiments
made 800 pounds Of acid phosphate
were added to eight tons Of manure and
applied to land on which corn, wheat
and clover were grown in rotation, with
the result that the three crops Of the
rotation were increased in value S3S.21.
Or $12.74 per annum. The result OBJ
tanned when the same amount of acid
phosphate was used with 480 pounds
Of sodium nitrate costing $12 and 26O
pounds Of potassium chloride costing
$3.50 showed an annual increase in the
value of crops produced of but $3.50.
Stated more simply, the eight tons Of
manure produced so per cent greater
annual increase than chemicals costing
$780,. The experiment cited simply
emphasizes the value Of a fertilizer
that is available for every farmer and
indicates the necessity of so handling
1t as to realize it's maximum value
when applied to the land.

The supply of horses in some west
ern localities has been SO closely bought
up that number have thought they
could secure better bargains to go to
Chicago and make their purchases than
in buying at home. There has not been
time in the past ten years that a good
horse would fetch better price than
now. The claim that the Introduction
of the automobile would practically
ruin the horse business seems to be
proving harmless fiction.

The development Of tractable and
desirable harness or work horse de-
ponds almost as much upon the dispo-
sition and character of the person hav-
ing the. care of it as upon the original
temperament of the horse itself. A
careless driver can spoil mighty good
horse.

An item is going the rounds Of the
country press to the effect that two or
three grains of faxseed planted in
each hill of potatoes will keep away the
potato bug. We are somewhat skep-
teal in regard to the efficacy of this
preventive, being tempted to classify
it with that other agricultural super
stition which recommends planting in
the full of the moon.

The era is past when it is safe to say
that the man who can't make a go Of
it in any other line Of business can
succeed at farming. Brains and in
telligence are now required in this, as
in any other occupation, and he will
be disappointed who takes it up as a
last resort

In view of the practical failure of an
appeal to sentiment alone as an in
centive In securing cooperation In the
matter Of practical forestry, or, more
exactly, tree culture, bill has been
introduced in the Iowa legislature
looking to a remission Of the taxes for
a period Of eight years on all areas set
out to forest trees and orchards CON
tanning more. than seventy trees
Should a plan Of this kind be generally
adopted in the different states or a fed
eral law be adopted granting the same
exemptions, the gospel Of tree planting
would receive an impetus the like of
which has never been known. 1t is a
matter Of regret perhaps that a suf1-
Gent interest cannot be aroused in the
matter purely from the artistic and
aesthetic standpoint and that an ap-
peal has to be made to the pocketbook
to secure necessary cooperation; but
since the situation is as it Isl, some plan
like that suggested would be very well
come. The main thing is to get the
trees planted, the means by which the
result is accomplished being of second
cry Importance.

pot small lilac bush right away, set
it in the ground for the summer, put it
into the cellar just before freeze-up,
bringing it into the light and warmth
of an upstairs room three or four
weeks before you wish it to bloom. A
friend has tried this number Of
times, and the result is very satisfac-
tory, the warmth of the heated room
furnishing the springlike condition
needed to start it blooming.

IoME xsACTs ABOUT DURU1I WHEAT.

IOME FACTS ABOUT DURUNI WHEAT.
The foothold which the duruln, or
macaroni, wheat has been getting since
its introduction into this country some
six years ago by Secretary Wilson Of
the department Of agriculture was Civ
en- an emphatic recognition early in
March Of this year when the Illinois
railroad and warehouse commission in
cluded durum wheat as a distinct grade
in their new grain inspection rules.
From data sent out by the department
at Washington it appears that one-half
of the wheat, not including wheat
flour, exported from customs districts
east Of the Pacific coast and more than
80 per cent of the entire wheat exports
of the United States since July i, 1905,
were durum wheat The shipments
from New York were sent for the most
part to ports on the Mediterranean sea,
while of the exports from Boston 49,
600 bushels were consigned to the
above ports, 88,587 bushels to Ham.
UULS duu O1,OOO DuBllC1S " #LOuQCu.
Two facts may be mentioned as re-
spOnsible for the remarkable showing
which has been made with this new
type OF wheat In the first place, the
growing Of the wheat in the United
States has received a great impetus
because it is in a large measure
drought proof and gives a large yield
in sections Of the north and west which
are practically closed to che raising Of
ordinary wheat because Of scanty
rainfall. This is clear economic gain
and means much in a financial way to
the territory in question. A second
fact which has served to encourage it's
culture and expectation is the demand
already existing for it in European
countries, particularly bordering on the
Mediterranean where it has been
grown for centuries and where it Is
not now produced in sufficient quanti-
ties>to supply the home demand.

Two farmers living but a short dis
lance from the writer's home have
been called upon in the past few weeks
to pay $50 each for damages done a
neighbours flock Of sheep by their
worthless dogs. Ii a canine has once
committed this offense he can never be
trusted again, and the only remedy is
a shotgun loaded with buckshot or a
dose of poison. In dogdom this is
capital offense, and the only penalty
commensurate is death.

Plan for some sort of vacation this
summer. If you can't get out and see
the world or visit some of your
friends, stay at home and get acquaint-
ed with your children. Spend as much
time as possible out of doors. Fix up
a corner of the yard with some rugs,
cushions, table and a hammock, where
you can eat, read or sew. Go On pic
mic excursions, make the most Of the
''big days" and take in as many good
entertainments as possible Be patient,
sweet tempered and try to look on the
bright side of things. While all this
may seem impossible, an effort along
this direction may be the means Of
giving yourself and others happiness.

youth up.

There's hardly a home where the
children do not come in for some little
share of work and responsibility. They
are often sent to their tasks without a
single direction and are expected to do
as well AS an older person. The girl
or boy, as the case may be, gets
through with the sweeping, dish wip-
ing, wood bringing, bed making or
weed pulling the best he can or in the
quickest way possible and is off to
something else This is kept up day
after day until the child has acquired
fine set of slovenly habits and you
are surprised some day to note what
careless habits your child has, Now,
don't blame the child too much, for a
little direction and persistence or your
part would have brought different re-
suits.

Following a gradual and steady adj
vance in value of all Mississippi val
ley lands, the owners have been forced
to consider and adopt methods Of
draining wet and heretofore practically
unproductlve land. AS a result Of the
passage of favorable legislation a num-
Der Of big drainage bitches are now In
process of digging in several counties
Of western Iowa and southern Mime
sota 1t is estimated that the largest
of these drainage bitches will cost
when completed in the neighborhood
Of 100000. 1t will be from five to
seven feet deep and have a width of
about fifteen feet This ditch will
serve as the main artery Of drainage
system that will accommodate the sur
face water from thousands of acres of
the finest and richest Of land that only
needs drying out to the point where it
can be properly titled to produce the
most abundant crops. Farms at dis
lance from the main ditch on either
side will be tile drained into smaller
bitches connecting with it, The work
connected with the digging Of the
drainage canal is so prosecuted as to
distribute the expense connected there
with among those whose land is bene-
fitted by the drainage afforded.

We do not recall the investment of q
small amount of time and effort that
brought a larger return of genuine sat
isfaction than that consumed in the
fixing of a little platform which was
suspended in large cherry tree with
in view Of the dining room windows,
on which a supply of bread and milk
was placed for the birds that nestled
near by A particularly entertaining
sight was that furnished when moth
er oriole and five of her young, just
able 10 fly, came to the board for their
morning meal, which quite often oc-
cured during the breakfast hour The
mother bird evidently thought this
supply was quite a find, for she and
her brood visited it regularly, and to
see her feeding her little ones in turn
was a most interesting spectacle for
any lover Of bird life. A little pains
taken in some such manner to cult
vate the acquaintance and friendship
of these little feathered friends is we'll
worth while.

In addition to planning to turn over
to the boy fine farm when you throw
off the harness, aim to give him the
best possible education that is within
your means. It is barely possible that
he may not at the time fully realize
what you are doing for him, but rest
assured that his gratitude and appre
citation will find full expression as the
years pass by. The first thing you owe
the lad is good family name, the sec
ond as good an education as you can
give him, and lastly and Of least i'm
portance is the bestowal Of lands or
other property He will likely forgive
you if you fail in the last particular,
