FOREIGN Bulbs.

AL the foreign bulbs for winter flow

August and September, and it Is well
worth while to get them as early as
possible and pot them at once, says
the Garden Magazine. The secret OF
forcing into early Towering is estab
fishing a perfect root system before
forcing Is attempted.

STRAWBERRY MULCH.

ne Difficulty In Securing Material
Free From Seeds.
Ihe question Of what to use as a
mulch for strawberries and where to
secure It is certainly a live one A
practical grower who has used wheat
straw, rye straw and little spoiled
hay says: Needless to say, we will
never try the last again, for we Sc
cured a beautiful seeding on the little
patch covered by it. The rye straw is
not as satisfactory a mulch to handle
as wheat straw, and more or less rye
Will grow the next spring and must be
pulled
Clean Wheat Straw.
clean wheat straw is the best, but
since the advent Of the GLOVER we
have had difficulty in securing straw
free from wheat and grass seeds. Last
fall we bought two year old wheat
stack for mulching This spring we
had a nice stand Of wheat in our straw
berry beds and spent many hours la
boriously pulling 1t by hand. In the
beds covered by other straw timothy
came up thickly. Two years ago beds
mulched with wheat straw were so
clean that it was unnecessary to go
over the rows to pull the weeds So
long as we can buy good, clean wheat
straw at 81 per load handy by, we will
not attempt to grow our mulch, but If
the experience of last season is re-
peated we shall experiment with other
material
Marsh Hay.
We expect to try marsh hay the COM
ing season, purchasing it this sum
mer and cutting and stacking to haul
when the marshes are frozen When we
try growing mulch material it will first
be some legume like cowpeas or vetch,
though I believe more and perhaps
better mulch material can be secured
by growing rye or corn. / have known
of corn being used very successfully,
but / do not know whether it was
grown after old strawberry beds o,
not.

THE LATE WEEDS.

The home garden needs and usually
gets that degree of care which will
bring the crops which are planted In
1t to maturity, and it also needs and
very seldom gets that attention which
will prevent the late maturing weeds
which lift their heads after the other
crops are laid by from going to seed.
In view Of the fact that the common
weeds have seed producing capacity
ranging all the way from 10000 to
100000 each, this phase of the care Of
the garden ought not to be neglected.
"A keeping down Of the late weeds not
only makes the care Of the garden
more agreeable and satisfactory, but
greatly lessons the amount Of work
which will be needed in subsequent
season

In view Of the reasonable price at
which the best in agricultural and news
papers can be secured it is often hui
initiating to think how many people
get swindled and humbugged every
year simply because of their unwilling
ness to pay the small price Of keeping
posted. And money is not only lost in
the ways suggested, but hundreds Of
dollars are also lost every year by those
who fail to keep in touch with the
latest breeds and types Of stock and
their proper care and the most APP
proved methods and conveniences for
the doing of farm work.

The difference between success and
failure on the part of the run Of folks
may often be traced to the use they
make Of their spare time. The fellow

when not occupied with his work is
by the very force of circumstances
doomed to stay In the rut in which
he finds himself when he commences
the journey of life.

Owing to the tendency which the
Wealthy, the premier fall apple of the
northern states, has to drop portion
Of its fruit, good many orchardists
find it expedient to make two pickings.
This means good deal Of bother and
extra work, but in view of the fact
that the very largest and finest looking
apples are as rule the ones that fall
first if the fruit Is allowed to hang and
there is but one picking made the
plan seems we'll worth while.

Exception may well be taken to the
custom that prevails of charging the
smallness or cussedness of individual
folks to the church or lodge of which
they may happen to be members. Of
course discredit naturally comes to an
organization if any OF It's members
are unworthy, but it is well to remem-

spite of and not because of the fact
that they belong to this or that church

1t Is safe to assume that just as soon

realize this thing and fortify their chill

Clean cultivation Of the orchard plot
is not to be recommended where the
orchard is located on a hillside or
where, even if the slope is but slight,
the soil is loose and washes and gullies
easily. Where conditions are such that
the formation Of sod is necessary to
hold the soil in place the good effects
of cultivation may be in part secured
through mulching Of the trees so that
the diameter or extent of the mulch is
equal to the spread Of the limbs.

it is again in order to speak a word

actually induced, by an excessive
feeding of this immature cereal The,
hogs should be worked onto their new

RUSHING GROWTH OF PIGS

1t has always been question OF
whether it pays to rush the growth
0f DIGS, or to ''live" them along Ia >
sort OF way until large frames are
made, then fatten. We claim it Is a
matter of the man and his surround
ings. Some are better hog raisers
than others, and some are beUter
equipped for raising hogs than others.
There are two classes of men who
raise hogs. we might say, and 1t pays
one class to keep their young stock
pushing right along until market day.
while it pays the other class best to
hold off.
Where man is milking number

10 fact simply feeding the milk ano
feeding corn does it with no specia
effort. There Is another class OF
farmers and the large one, that ha'
practically no milk, to feed. compared
with the number OF pigs raised. We
belive 1t pays best, In this case, t.,
provide plenty of tie growth witt
that. 1t takes longer, but is less ex

will see that the men who are the

days without work are the men who
work the hardest. Don't be afraid
of killing yourself with overwork.
