SOIL BACTERIA.

The agricultural department at
Washington Issues the following in
structions to farmers who desire bac-
terra for inoculating soils for legumes:
THE organisms for the common le-
glimes, such as alfalfa, peas, beans.
cl2ver and vetches will be distributed
to those applicants who desire to aid
in testing the efficacy of these organ
isms in different parts of the United
States. AS a general rule, the quantity
sont to each applicant will be suffi-
cient to inoculate a little more than
ole bushel OF the seed for which the
incubation is desired In special
cases. however, when large quantities
OF seed are to be inoculated. directions
! fer preparing the culture liquid will
be. forwarded, and as much as desired
can be made up at a cost of few
cents per gallon. In writing state
what legume you expect to SOW and
give approximately the date of plant
ing so that we may send the organisms
in the best possible condition. This is
necessary. as our methods require the
incubation to be made either before
OF at the time of planting the seed.
Fill directions for use are included
in each package sent out. The bac-
terra are beneficial only in connec-
tion with legumes and are not appli-
cable to other farm or garden crops.

WINTER DRINKING WATER.

Hens need plenty of fresh water IN
winter as well as in summer; but it
is much better to warm it before CIV
ing it to them. Ice cold water is a
shock to the system and is not con-
ducive to egg production. Provide
drinking vessels or fountains that
your fowls cannot get their feet into
or scratch full of dirt or straw. IL
you can't invent anything satisfac-
tory, buy it; regular fountains cost
but 25 cents each. Have also before
the fowls oyster shells, grit and char
coal. A convenient way is to make
a box with a separate compartment
for each.
Have good. roomy nests in your
poultry house; if you darken them.
your hens will not be as likely to get
the "egg-eating habit"

INTENSIVE HORTICULTURE.
The Greatest Production Upon the
Smallest Area Should Be
the Aim.

Horticulture presents a great oppor
tunity for intensive work. Fruits and
vegetables respond more quickly to
high fertilization and high culture
than any other farm crops. We have
to-day records of horticultural pro-
ductions that are truly astounding.
Thus the Farmers Review tells of one
man living in Milwaukee produced 600
bushels OF Strawberries on a single
acre. In France the market gardeners
have accomplished wonderful things at
times in the production of fruit This
is especially true of those carrying on
their work under glass. Some of those
men keep their ground in crops all the
year around, using artificial heat
large part of the year. Under skillful
management a small amount of ground
will produce vast amount of succu-
lent vegetation and succulent fruit. In
tensive horticulture is more interesting
to the man that follows it than is the
opposite kind of horticulture. Where
large amount is produced per acre tho
profits are generally greater than
where a small amount is produced per
acre from more acres. The whole ten
dency of soil culture in the garden and
orchard is in tho direction of more io-
tensive methods.

POOR COWS.

When a man increases the number
of his cows at the expense of quality
he does very unbusinesslike thing.
Better not keep cows unless they are
good ones. Take better care of what
you have and be content rather than
buy poor cows. When one raises his
own cows he should test out the heif-
ers that do not promise well as posi-
BILE, no matter if they are registered
and have a good pedigree. We must
have something in the dairy barn be-
sides breeding to make a success. We
want individuality. When this is well
backed up by breeding all the better
bnt the profitable COW we must have.
1t is not always judicious to sell a
heifer If she does not come up to the
standard the first season, provided she
gives promise of batter work later on.
One must use judgment. as well as the
scales and Babcock test with heifer.
1t is good plan to have an animal
clearance sale and dispose of the un-
desirable cows to the butcher.

THROW IT TO THE HENS.

One of our leauing poultry papers
had the following query in the De-
cember issue: What is the best way
to feed green bone?" The editor an
swered: Throw 1t to the hens"
1t is supposed that the person max
ing the inquiry was in ignorance as
to the amount to feed, how often. and
whether it should be fed in mash or
separately. Throw it to the hens" is
misleading advice. Green bone is a
stimulating and forcing food for lay
ing hens and chicks. 1t cannot be
tossed to the hens as grain is. and fed
ad libitum. Both green and dry bone
should be fed in small proportion to
the ration. II fed in the mash 1t is
more evenly distributed; there is less
danger of the greedy birds taking all
the meal If it is fed separately and
regularly fowls are not likely to over
eat of it. Green cut bone in fair guam
tity insures health. growth and eggs;
when fed too freely it brings on di-
gestive troubles and diarrhoea. Not
more than a teaspoonful three times a
week should be given to the laying
hens. Throw it to the hens If it
seems best. but see to it that each hen
gets her share.

MAKE A NOTE OF THIS.

Commission merchants say that on
an average there is a difference of
four cents dozen between soiled eggs
and those that are sent to market
bright and clean. and it is not neces-
sary that all the eggs of a shipment
shall be soiled in order to make a
consignment rank as such. Even a
very small proportion of soiled eggs
in a package will cause the whole to
be rated several cents below the mar
ket price. The trampling on the eggs
by the dirty feet of the hens. fresh
from the moist earth of the yard, and
the discoloration produced, does not
affect the contents, but it gives the
eggs an uninviting appearance, and 1t
Is not expected that people will be
Indifferent to the looks of things which
they buy for their table. Poultry
keepers can afford to take time to
clean the shells of the eggs which they
send to market when the failure to do
so means the loss of four cents a
dozen.

WITH THE FLOWERS.

In taking cuttings be sure to use a
sharp knife.
For vines to train upon the trellis
in the window garden, we would av-
wise the Madeira vine and the cobea.
Plants that have a rather tough bark
like the English ivy and oleander,
root better in water than in sand
When plants are not growing much,
but little water is needed. If too
much water is given, there is danger
of the soil souring.
Among the plants best adapted to
cultivation in window boxes are geran-
iums. fuchsias, heliotropes, plumbagos,
begonias, pansies and tea roses.
In sunny windows almost any sum-
mer blooming flower can be grown
successfully. Let the children start a
window box early this month. Fill
the box with ordinary garden seeds.
DO not plant the seeds too thick.
Flowers on the table during the
winter months are greatly appreciated.
Aim to combine freshness and variety
1t is not the number but the quality
and arrangement.
A good way to start cuttings indoors
is to place the cuttings in a box of
sharp sand. giving plenty of moisture
and placing the box on the back of the
stove where bottom heat can be fur
nisted.
Plant food is best supplied to plants
when they are making active growth.
Many plants have been killed by giving
them rich food when their stomachs
were unable to digest it.

brief few days. Cupid has played more
pranks than the most romantic school
girl could ever conjure up in her
widest dreams!
He has brought together an Amer
lean mining engineer and Grecian
countess at the mouth of Mexican
mine. He has married off rich
young fellow to the nurse who pulled
him through appendicitis. He has pre-
sided at midnight wedding at which
a dashing young naval officer and a
pretty chorus girl were the principals.
He has hired special train so that
New York millionaire's son could
marry divorcee in another state.
And last of all. but not least, he has
arranged a wedding on the high seas,
outside the international three-mlle
limit, so that an impatient young cou-
pie wouldn't have to wait two weeks
for the banns to be published. thus
single handed setting aside the stern
and implacable majesty of the British

A FEED YARD.

The most useful and economical de-
vice about our farm yard Is our feed
yard. 1t is a small space about so by
100 feet, inclosed on the north and
west by tight, high board fence: on
the south and east. the fence is lower
but some buildings serve as wind
breaks. When we commence hauling
up our hay in the fall we stack all
along the north and west sides. This
gives us a well sheltered yard where
cattle can be fed when it is too cold
for them to go out in the pasture and
where the young stock can be kept
at night until late in the season, as
they are protected from the wind.
We can feed from stacks around the
yard, and though the yard will need
cleaning occasionally. We find it a
great saving of feed, time and labor.

NEATNEss IN BUTTER PACKAGES

The careful packing of butter has a
good deal to do with the fostering of
the butter trade whether that trade
be with few private families or with
large commission houses. This matter
has been frequently referred to in these
columns. and without doubt some i'm
provement is being made. The COM
mission men report that the manner in
which butter is put up helps or hinders
them in making sales. A creamery
that has the reputation of neatness
in packing finds itself sought not only
by the commission men. but by large
grocers that want an article that looks
well. This matter of looks is especial
ly important in butter that goes to the
homes of the wealthy. They will form
opinions on the looks of things. Two
packages of butter may be similar in
quality. but II one is put up in better
style than the other the buyers are
prejudiced in favor of that package,
and the eaters, If they have seen the
package will actually imagine that
the butter is of better flavor.

FERTILIZERS FOR WESTERLY
FARMS.

The majority of farmers on the new
and fertile lands of the west and
southwest have thought but little
about the use of commercial fertilizers.
Recent changes in crop systems in
many sections have led farmers to In
quire if there should not be a re-
placing of the clements taken from the
soil. The practice has been to ignore
the principle of returning to the soil
any plant food, SO long as there
was a large amount of naturally
rich or virgin land. Leaving out the
question of virgin lands. we have
reached 4 point where great major
ity of our farms could be benefited by
careful preservation and utilization
