Notes for the Farmer.

Jerusalem artichokes are good crop
to try on a small scale for hogs to
harvest. They can be planted almost
any time and resist drouth well, re-
quiring the same cultivation as Irish
potatoes and yielding more heavily.
Make plans for experimenting with
several new crops this year. and be
cautious about experimenting on too
large a scale. Each mans land will
answer questions about crops with
more authority than he or any other
man can.
Many false ideas exist as to the harm
done crops by birds, and it is safe to
rely on the reports of men who have
killed great numbers of them and have
reported what kind of food was found
in them. Very few birds do crops as
much harm as good.
There is such a thing as one living
in the future so much that he accom-
plishes nothing in the present, but the
farmer who does not plan his farm
work before he has to do it will not
live very well in the future and prob
ably is not living very well in the
present.
Really valuable, high-priced men are
never out of job; and 1t is just as
true that the really valuable, high
priced farmer gets good reward one
year after another. His energy and
his knowledge Of how to do his work
to the best advantage are what makes
him a superior farmer.
The common way of planting corn
is to use at least three acres of land
to grow two acres of corn. The third
acre is taken up with vacant places
where hills ought to be. All the three
acres of land have to be worked for
a two-acre yield, and we are then told
that corn raising does not pay.

Developing Heifers' Udders.

Heifer calves should be handled very
often to keep them gentle, and fire.
quent manipulation of the udder dur
ing the first pregnancy will do much to
stimulate development. This frequent
handling of the udder is Of no little
importance not only in securing bet
ter development, but also to make the
heifer so familiar with the operation
that when her calf is dropped she will
take the milking as a matter of course
and will not require to be broken.
The heifer should drop her first calf
when she is about two years old, as
this will make a more productive COW
than when delayed until another year.
When the first calf is not dropped I'M
til the third year, one calf and one
year of milking are lost, and the heif-
er acquires a tendency to use her sur
plus feed in the laying on of fat in
stead of in the secretion of milk-a
tendency which will be retained
through life, and which would have
been avoided by earlier breeding.-W.
R Gilbert, in the American Culiivator.
