Rye For Pasture and soilinr

Rye is not half appreciated by the
American farmer. 1t is very hardy,
will grow on the poorest land. makes
good winter and spring pasture and
if sown early enough makes good fall
pasture. 1t is IA good early spring soil
ing crop. 1t makes a fair quality of
hay If cut In bloom or before, and it
always sells ut good prices and makes
the best of bedding for cattle and
horses. 1t is also an excellent green
manure crop for turning under in early
spring. While it does not add nitrogen,
as the clovers do ii makes great
deal of humus. and thus improves the
texture OF wornout soils. 1t will
grow in any section that can grow
any of the small grains. Where corn
or potatoes or cOwpcas are grown after
corn, rye may he sown in the corn at
the time of laying by" or may be

Feeding Milk Cattle

Root crops cost more to produce than
corn ensilage, but are more convenient
for small herd. The cows like car
rots best and do not tire of rations Of
roots II mixed with carrots, says a
Pennsylvania farmer In American Cul-
tivator
Foods That Taint MIX.
The feed should be good and free
from aromatic substances. II these
aromatic foods are used they should
be employed according to those meth
ods which will not cause odors or ia
vors in the milk.
Look to the Pasture.
The all round food for milk cows Is
grass. Therefore look we'll to the pas
lures and see that their quality is Im-
proved,
study the Cows Needs.
Each individual In the herd should
be studied and given the care that she
requires for best production, says
Farm Journal.
Two sisters stood side by side in a
herd. One required bulky, light food
to cause her to do her best. The other
required more concentrated food with
less bulk.
No herd OF cows can ever be really
profitable unless they receive just this
careful attention.

ity ON the feed market, yet l see but

PHENOMENA OF HABIT.
The Importance of Correct Training
For Young Children.

kne importance OF COrrecT
For Young Children.
The most important years, the years
that give the trend for life, are the
early ones, when the little dimpled
hands are outstretched, when the baby
soul is reaching forth and receiving
ideas and impressions, when manners
are formed and habits have their be-
ginnings. To leave the babies to ir-
responsible hired hands and lavish care
and expense on half grown children Is
the blunder of those who are ignorant
or inexperienced as to vital issues.
President King of Oberlin college, In
his admirable treatise ON "RationaI
pie, and | commend it to mothers:
Nowhere are the psychical and
physical so completely interviewer as
in the phenomena of habit The minds
initiative constantly comes in, but 1t Is
as constantly seconded by the nervous
system. The time limit in habits Is
one of the strong evidences of the close
connection of body and mind. 1t Is u
startling fact to face that a mans per-
sonal habits are largely fixed before
he is twenty, the chief lines of his fu-
ture growth and acquaintance before
he is twenty-five and his professional
habits before he Is thirty. We are
becoming bundles of habits. With
every young person one must. there
fore, continually urge: Are you will
ing to retain just the personal habits
you havN now? You cannot too quick
ly change them If you wish to make
thorough work. From your early
morning toilet, through the care OF
your clothing and the order of your
room, table manners, breathing. tone
of voice, manner of talking, pronun-
citation, gesture, motion. address,
study, to your very way OF sleeping
at night-all your habits are setting
like plaster of paris. Margaret r.

THE NURSERY.
Care of the Room Devoted to the Use
of the Children.

Oh tne Chuuren.
Never sweep the nursery with an or.
dinary broom, as it raises too much
dust A 1T hair broom should he
used or else flannel bag put over the
regular broom. At least every other
day the RI } should be taken up and
shaken outdoors and the floor wiped
up with damp cloth, adding O few
drops of carbolic acid or some other
mild dislnf tctant to the water in which
the cloth is damped.
Never under any circumstances use
feather duster in the nursery. All the
furniture. woodwork and pictures
should be busted every day with
damp cloth, being careful to dust be-
hind the pictures as well as the other
parts. Every week or two dust down
the walls with damp cloth tied on to
broom. Cover the crib and bed with
large sheet when the room Is swept
and remove all the lighter pieces of
furniture after they have been wiped
Off while the room Is being cleaned.
At least twice a day, even in the
coolest weather, the nursery windows
should be opened both top and bottom
for fully half an hour and the room
fairly flooded with fresh air and sun
shine also IL you can get it.-New York
Mail.
