vegetables to grow Mushmelons are
| the hardest
Then plan your succession crops and
put the name of each on the plan, In
parentheses, after the crop it is to fol-
| low.
| All grain damaged b. dampness may
be freely fed to poultry If thoroughly
| dried out in a hot oven. Scorch it
just little.
Don't say it's"Work" to plan 1t isn't
| II you approach it in the right spirit.
Resolve to have a merry time of 1t,
come what may.
Peas and beans in small quantities
are OF great value to laying hens.
They are so rich IN albuminolds-
producing material.
| The fall work Is all done. Are the
buildings comfortable? The work all
systematized for the winter? That's
the way it ought to be.
Farm buildings should be planned
| large enough to the start. Lean tos"
are an abomination in the sight Of the
man who loves neatness.
One. of the most hopeful things In the
progress of agriculture and horticul-
ture Is the utilization of scientific
methods In practical work.
Most farmers depend on what they
can sec In measuring wastes on farm.
One OF the greatest wastes involves
leak In the fertility and 1t may not be
visible
Among the Toggenburger goats some
are found that yield a gallon Of milk
per day. These and similar milking
goats are now being freely Imported
into America.
If you want the horses to do the
most work feed them on the proper
feed, SC that they may develop strength
and be. able to do the required work.
| Try some oats instead of so much corn.
1t is better to raise eight good pigs
than twelve inferior ones. There will
be more money in the former than in
the latter, though they outnumber
them. Quality is more important than
quantity.
Be sure the pigs have a trough for
themselves that cannon be reached by
| the mother or the other hogs. 1t
| teaches them to eat and prevents any
shrinkage during weaving. 1t is a self
weaver.
Much wool is now imported into the
United States, the home product not
being sufficient to meet the demand;
there is also good and increasing de-
mand for mutton. In England sheep
are fed with profit on land worth $500
pef' acre.
Don't go to law over every little
trouble that comes up in life. Settle
disputes quietly. Loud talk gives law
yers money In the end. If you cannot
agree, get a committee to settle for
you, then shake hands over the decl-
sion.
Celery is now bleached almost ex-
clusively with boards instead of the
old-fashioned killing up process. The
boards are held closely in touch with
the tops of the green crop while the
light is excluded in the bleaching pro-
cess.
The man who is not on good terms
with his near neighbors puts in mind
of the juror who said: Il put in all
of last night in jury room with eleven
of the stubbornest men l ever saw in
my life. Why, not one Of them would
agree with me-" Beware Of the man
who is at outs with his neighbors.
Feed the colt some oats the first win
| ter and give him a good start. See
how much better he will grow when
on grass next summer. l would not
| like it much If oats were taken out of
this world. 1t would be hard to find
another feed that would take the place
of oats for horses. l am sure l would
| hate to be without it.
! At the Pennsylvania station Profess
sOr J. p. Pillsbury reports that wide
matted row and hill systems of straw
berry culture, which have previously
been observed at the station, have been
changed to the narrow-matted row
with better results. The berries in the
narrow-matted row are of a more uni
| form size and the percentage of small
| ones is decreased.
Snow is said to be the poor mans
manure" and 1t is poor enough. 1t
washes a small amount Of nitrogen
down into the soil, which is all right
as far as it goes. Bare ground, on the
other hand, is helped by alternate freez-
Ing ana thawing on warm winter days
When we have snow it is wise to make
the best of it. When there is no snow
| 1t is not always wise to wish for it.
Many people believe that brown
eggs are richer in nutriment than
| white eggs. A number Of Government
experiments have determined conclu-
sively that the color of the shell is no
key to nutriment flavor or other quail
ties Of the meat of the egg. There is
a decided difference in nutritive ratio
and flavor owing to the conditions I'M
der which fowls are kept
1t is claimed by those who have
made the experiments that CRAFTS set
on the first cut on the root or collar
are more likely to live than those on
lower cuts. The first or lower cut on
the scion is more likely to live than
those taken higher up. The terminal
bud is not so sure to live as other
| CRAFTS, but those that do generally
make a longer growth When cuts of
the roots four or FIVE inches long are
uSnd they are moro lil-nIx- RI live +bo,,
