THE FARM GROVE.

The value of ten acre patch of soft
maple timber on the average western
prairie farm can hardly be overesti-
mated We say soft maple, for better
than any other variety Of our decidu-
GUS trees it meets the conditions of soil
and climate of the prairie sections of
the country. 1t is very rapid grower,
will bear thick planting, furnishes an
excellent quality of fuel, while if thick
~ planted it will grow tall and straight
and furnish poles and wood for the
many farm needs. Such grove is cas-
lily obtained. Select ten acres of good
rich land, pillow and prepare as for a
cornfeld. Mark 1t out six feet apart
each way and plant the young trees at
the intersections of the markings.
These trees may be easily raised from
seed sown the year previous or may be
dug up by the thousand along the
streams which intersect all the prairie
country. Cultivate for two years, and
that is all. In five years from planting
thinning out may begin. Such grove
will add $500 to the value of any prai-
RE farm.

THE HORSE TO RAISE.

A successful horse buyer told us N
response to the question as to which
netted him the most money in the ham
ding, driving or work horses, that he
never made enough money out of the
driving horses he had handled to buy a
good draft team. He maintained that
there were too many little things which
influenced the price of horse for driv-
ing purposes-a slight scratch, pecul-
iarity i'm gait, fault in color or dispo-
sition-any one of which might knock
tens of dollars off the market price Of
the animal. On the other hand, draft
horse of good size and weight, even
though somewhat cut and scratched
and with perhaps a SPAWN or tive,
could always be sure Of buyer who
wanted good horse to work regard
less Of the fact that he was not entirely
sound.

CITY FARMING.

In one Of our larger cities the expert
ment has been tried of turning the I'M
occupied lots about the city, which for
merly have been allowed to run to
weeds, into truck patches. worked by
the children Of the very poor. This re-
suits in good to the poor and a great
improvement in the looks Of the cities.
Such scheme is good example of
the very kind of thrift which is almost
lacking with Americans. We have too
much waste land and waste products,
the direct result Of doing things upon
large scale and at loose ends. AS land
rises in price business opportunities de-
crease. AS the population of the coun-
try increases we shall see these loose
ends picked up and this waste utilized

A CONTRAST.

In this country it is not unusual to
hear our so called poor people COM

luxuries Of life. etc, and there are very
few of this class who know what it is
to be really hungry. How different is
the condition In the older countries.

gether without so much as tasting a
piece Of meat, where the killing of a
critter is looked upon as sort of gala
day, where the peasant considers him.

ply of black bread and onions enough
to keep soul and body together! Here
the laborers strike for an eight hour
working day, while in England hun
dreds of thousands walk the streets
and are kept at public expense because
they cannot get even one hours work
per day. 1t is little to be wondered
that this land of ours appears a para

There is not the least doubt that in

be quite domestic and economic prob

The cheapest and most practical
method for improving many Of tho
highways Of the country is to tile drain
the roadbed, putting line of four
inch tile about twenty inches outside
of each wheel track. Where sufficient
fall can be obtained this plan and the
use Of the road drag will result in CIV
ing almost a perfect dirt road at any
season of the year The great thing In
road building is first to get rid Of the
water-the water which falls on the
surface of the road and, not less, the
water which is held in suspension by
the subsoil. The use of the drag will
take care of the surface water by
keeping the road well crowned and
free from ruts, while the draintile will
remove the subsoil water and give the
road firm and waterproof founda-
ton. 1t Is surprising what can be ac-
complished by the use Of draintile In
the manner indicated.

that IL he tries to trade him off and tells
the truth about the horse nobody will
take him, and that If he sells him and
says nothing he is sure to hear of 1t
afterward to his sorrow. This Is true,
however-some horses are balky with
some men and not with others, the fact
being that II is the man and not the
horse which Is balky. We have at diff
ferent times owned two balky horses.
One we cured by wrapping a piece of
plug tobacco around his bit when the
