ABOUT THE FARM.

Make war on the poison ivy.
Cut the rye heads out of the wheat.
Timothy sod Is right for rutabagas.
Study the matter of raising little
alfalfa.
There is toa much waste land along
our fences.
Clean out the swill barrel. Rotten
swill Is unfit for hogs.
II penned out-of-doors be sure to
have shelter from rain, and an avn
ing or trees to shade from the sun.
Hogs easily blister and suffer. Give
them good water.
A hog can be reared In the pasture
with the fcattle, almost without cost.
1t will learn to love and to follow the
cows as easily as will a pet sheep.
Free-range hogs are healthy.
Don't let crust form ON cultivated
land. Start the cultivator going soon
after each rain. A crust means that
the soil moisture can rapidly evap-
crate. A dust mulch prevents such
evaporation. Stir the soil every week
or ten days, until time to 1ay-by the
crop.

FAITHFUL TO HIS TRUST.
Chinaman Carrsed Correspondent
Through Country Bristling
with Dangers.

The route led directly through the
heart of the 'Hung-hutze'' country
which was at that time in state of
disorder, writes T. F. Willard, in the
New Far East AS | had no passport
to travel in that locality, l was forced
to conceal myself in one of those in
struments of torture known as a
Picking cart, my luggage occupying an
other. The arrangements were made
by Christian friend of mine in Muk-
den, who committed me to the care OF
an old carter, with instructions for hiEa
to get me across the border. We left
Mukden just before the dawn one
morning, finally arriving safely in
neutral territory. Two nights slept
in villages infested by "Hung-hutzes."
1t would have been simple matter for
them to have made away with me and
seized my effects and my carriers could
have easily betrayed me without fear
of detection. But such was my conf
dence in the integrity of the Chinese
that I did not feel the slightest uneasi-
ness, although l was entirely unarmed.
During the entire trip was compelled
to trust absolutely to the old carter,
not being able to hold any communica-
ton with him, as he did not under
stand word of English or any other
foreign language, and / cannot speak
Chinese. He showed great cleverness
in getting me across the Lao river,
past the Cossack border guards, with-
out being detected; and when we ar
rived at Sinmfntin he seemed even
more pleased than myself, and refused
to accept any remuneration in excess
of the sum agreed upon

Never churn fresh unripened cream
with .ripened cream.
Butter is better when it is fresh
than 1t will ever be again.
When cows are fed any kind of
purifying food the milk is unwhole-
some.
The operation of milking should
never be hurried, but the milk drawn
steadily.
Life is too short and time too preci-
GUS to fool with cows that have any
especially undesirable traits.
Milk with the largest globules con-
tains the most butter, but the smaller
globules are more suitable for cheese
making.
Cows will not make good butter
when running on short, weedy pas
lures during the heat of summer. Be
prepared to avoid this.
The total which in milk are largely
dependent on the quality of the food
given, while the ratio of the ingredi-
ents depends on the breed.
no one KNOWS exactly what GER
tain COW will do until she is tested.
Even cows which give large guam
tity of yellow milk are not always the
best cows.
The better care and feed given the
cows, together with the introduction
or new and improved machinery and
methods, has greatly raised the av-
erage quality of butter In all parts Of
tho country.

shown at F. This post, +, prevents
COWS from stepping on one another's

emit than continuous partition for tho
herdsman to pass in by the side of
the cows to tie and unite them. The
back of the rack. G, is made by nail
Ing matched flooring to back ends of

rack Is made of Stats which are nailed
to the girths III, /. These Stats which
are Ike inches are spaced to seven
inches on centers, hang down into
trough at lower ends but do not en-
gage it. The floor of feed alley should
be one foot above the floor of stalls.
The sill s, 4x5 inches, and about three
feet long, should be placed across the
back part of each stall separately,
and be made adjustable to accommo-
date large or small cows. A large
bolt may pass through this sill near
each end and run down into the gas
pipe pockets o, which are set In
the concrete floor for that purpose.
Back of the sill 8 the floor should
slope slightly, but not too much, as
the cows always stand with their hind
feet back of this sill, and only step in
front of 1t when they lie down. Dr.
mansions given are for cows weighing
1000 to 100 pounds. For very small
COWS the sill would need to be moved
forward and perhaps a false floor put
into stall raising 1t four or five inches.
Midway between each partition a tie
chain rs inches long is attached to
under side of trough with a swivel
joint, the opposite end of chain hav-
ing spring-snap which hooks into .
ring on the neck-strap worn by each
cow. II a headstall is used instead
Of neok-strap the chain should be .
few inches longer. Many of these de-
tails may be changed to suit the build
er of this stall but the shape and To-
cation of trough and sill are vital rs-
quirements.

Nourishing old Fruit frees.

Often the roots of fruit trees, more
exhausted than the parts in the air
refuse to supply the branches with
their proper nourishment. To cure
or prolong life of trees possessing still
certain vigor French investigator
has injected solutions OF sulphate Of
iron and other chemicals into the
trunks. The liquid penetrates into the
cells of the tree, but not into the old
wood. It follows the young layers,
descending into the roots to the depth
Of three and quarter feet and rising
to the top Of the tree with uniform
distribution. Good results are said to
have been attained.

be confined so that it cannot circulate,
and where the space is filed with shaw
ings or other suitable material there
is no circulation of air, and we have
the best form Of insulation that is
known to-day. There is no other ma
terial as far as l know that gives as
good a result, considering the cost, as
shavings. of course, shavings are not
freproof. There are materials that
will not burn rapidly.
Objection has been made that shaw
ings encourage mice and rats; but If
the sheeting lisp ut on as it should be,
without any openings left, there is not
much danger of the mice getting into
the shavings. The sheeting should be
put on very tight without any openings
whatever. and mice will not gnaw a
