much rum. 1t nauseated me, and l felt
as though there was nothing but coffee

1t will be a fad this year for ANA
teur flower lovers to plant, for the ad-
miration of their friends, gardens Of
wild flowers, transplanted from the
woods. Many of the plants found In
the woods and fields have foliage and
flowers as beautiful as the highly Gull
tivated kinds. With the first touch of
spring, before the now and ice has dis
appeared from the more densely shad-
ed places, the first wild flowers begin
to bloom. and there is a constant sue
cession of gay blossoms, increasing in
splendor, until late In September, when
many of their wild flowers are at their
best
BY making trips to the woods at var
Ious seasons the flower lover may
transplant such speciments of each
variety as pleases his fancy. At home a
bed should be prepared for them,
placed where the plants may have some
protection from the hot sun, and be
watered regularly. The soil should be
thoroughly enriched with ~well-rotted
manure, or some commercial fertilizer.
1t Is best to plant the wild flowers as
a border, with all varieties mixed, as
most Of them are perennials and II
will be unnecessary to repiant the Dor
der yearly, except to replace those that
die. Owing to the different Towering
seasons of the various varieties, IL the
bed is we'll furnished with many sorts.
there will be constant succession of
bloom all the summer. 1t is best to
begin working the ground for the beo
as soon In the spring as It Is dry
enough. The transplanted flowers
should be carefully and regularly wat
cred until they are well established.
Afterwards 1t is only necessary to keep
the weeds out. The seeds of many of

Costly

The most extravagant economy for
a breeder is to use a poor sire. The
adage, 1.-The bull Is half the herd" is
everlastingly true, and to reduce the
standard Of the bull is to reduce the
value Of the herd by the same percent
age hence to reduce the investment In
q bull % per cent might save. say, $50
on the bull. but % per cent resulting
reduction in the value of the herd
would mean a reduction, or loss,
amounting probably to hundreds of
dollars. Too many breeders are so
shortsighted that they can only see the
$50 saved on the purchase Of the bull,
but cannot see In the succeeding sea-
SONS why the output falls in value by
$500 or $1,000 under what 1t would
have been with a first-class full-blood-
ed sire.-Farmers' Advocate.

The BOY and the Farm.

The wonderful strides In agricultural
science. as well as the vast Increase
in the insect enemies of growing things,
has both doomed and deferred farm
work as a profession, so that the old
time ideas Of farming cannot be said to
bring success except in p very moder-
ate degree. The farming Of the future
must be done by the boys and girls Of
to-day, and We owe 1t to our children
to give them the best possible chance
to gain knowledge which will help them
in their life work. II the boy is Sc
riously interested in agriculture, 1t will
be a paying investment to give him Il
course In an agricultural college.
II one cannot afford the full course
of four years, or IL the boy is not sufi-
GENTLY well educated to take this
course, give him the shOrter one Of two
years, or. better than nothing, let him
take the short winter course OF from
ten to twelve weeks and study the
particular branch in which he is inter-
ested. You will find that his inter-
est in the work will be enough greater
to warrant the expense. True, he may
not learn a great deal In the short
course. but 1t will be enough to open
his eyes to the possibilities, and he will
be placed on the right track to study
and work BY himself. Talk to the boy
about 1t, aud write to the agricultural
college of your State for detailed in
formation.
