The dairy, the silo and the red clover
meadow are the keys to one Of the
greatest sources of wealth in the coun-
try.
Pork and beans is a well balanced
ration. So are oatmeal and cream,
roast pork and apple sauce, boiled beef
and potatoes.
The time spent in selecting and test
ing all the seeds planted on the farm
is the most remunerative devoted to
any farm operation.
Some way we always enjoy seeing a
boy and dog as playfellows, and it is
not seldom the case that the dog makes
far better companion than some Of
the boys of the neighborhood.
The young robin Is said to be a
prolific eater, keeping Its mother on the
hop all day picking up worms. Be
tween fifty and sixty worms have been
observed to form days ration.
If your butter does not possess just
the sweet and nutty flavor SO much de-
sired, see if neat and convenient shaped
packages won't help you out. That's
the way the merchant does when he
wants to get rid Of mediocre quality.
The earth wakes up from it's long
winter sleep much as a child awakes
after refreshing afternoon nap. 1t
is all smiles and good nature, ready for
hair brush by the March wind and
face wash by the April showers and
hungry for the sunshine and the birds
Our experience with shade trees, COW
ering period Of years, is that in case
Of those trees which can be transplanted
at all the best results are obtained by
cutting back the top and roots of q
three or four inch tree rather than in
transplanting two or three year old
sapling
The young trees Of the orchard are
in greater danger from rabbits during
February and March in case Of a heavy
fall Of snow than in any other months
Of the year. A small boy with a fer
ret, or soap or liver rubbed on the trunk
of the trees, is safeguard that may
be proitably employed.
The rivalry in American rural com
munities that crops out in an attempt
to see which farmer can sport the most
lightning rods or the best carriage
finds expression among the Swiss peas
ants in the purchase Of sweet toned
bells for their family cows, some of
which cost as high as twenty francs.
The farmer who worries because he
is not sure whether the law requires
him to cut the weeds along the road
way bordering his land should take the
benefit of the doubt and get busy with
his mower. When in doubt about ques-
tons Of right and wrong it often helps
to act in accordance with common
sense
We are in no sense prophet, but we
will venture the prediction that there
will be the usual number of bugs, bee
ties, borers and insect pests of high
and low degree to wage war on all veg
etable and animal life on the farm this
coming season. Between the weeds and
the bugs it is often nip and tuck for the
farmer to see where he comes in.
Some people love money because it
is money, while others seek it because
Of what it will bring to them. The for
mer hoard it, deprive themselves and
others of legitimate pleasures and final
ly leave it to be contested for by all
possible and rightful heirs. The latter
earns the dollar, appreciates its value
and spends it in bringing happiness
both to himself and others.
The observance of birthdays, ami
versaries and holidays in the home is
not always possible, but it Is well to
keep the fire Of sentiment at least
smoldering. 1t may mean planning
and sacrifice on the part of the moth
ers and sisters, but remember that it
will be the green and refreshing oasis
IN the memory Of the child when it
looks back upon it in after years
You were child once
When we see house all done up in
several colors on the outside, while
