Many an east and west road can be

Ing the highway on the south are thin.
ned so as TO let the sun shine on the
road part OF the day.
While the puttering and painstaklng
and the swift and slapdab hired man
are both a trlfle wearing on ones
nerves, fellow sleeps better nights II
he has the former rather than the lat
ter on the place.
The uncoverlng OF the towering
shrubs and fruits should not be done
until warm weather has set I'm for good
and other vegetation has made de.
cided start. Then II frost comes tho
chance for damage will be much less.
In nine cases out OF ten the worst
enemy that the farmer or gardener
has Is the ''man with the gun" who
periodically raids his premises. The
only kind of dope that will reach this
pest is legal warning to keep of the
premises.
About the time the yard is raked is
n pretty good time to inspect the eel.
lar and see that decayed or decaying
vegetables of all kinds are removed.
1t is very natural to overlook the
truck In the cellar because II Is large
ly out OF sight
III the cornfeld is infested with milk
weeds and morning glories It Is about
time to turn II into pasture for three or
four years. The presence of these
weeds may be taken as sign that'the
soil needs a rest from the system of
cropping which has been followed with
1t in preceding years.
The common black crow is a much
worse enemy TO the poultryman than
the skunk or much maligned chicken
hawk, which in spite of its name sci.
dom raids the poultry yard. Where
chickens or turkeys nest in wood lots
adjoining the premises, crows will
rifle the nests every chance they get.
For the gardener on q small scale In
the northern states II Is questionable
II there is black raspberry which ex-
GELS the Older. 1t is perfectly hardy
and does not require covering OF any
KIND. but propagates from the tlp.
while the fruit 1t bears is OF large size
and fine quality. OF those which re.
quire covering during the winter the
Nemaha is one OF the best.
While a rotation Of only corn and
oats may result in a more desirable
condition of soil than were corn to fol-
low corn and may perhaps keep I'm
check some pests that work injury TO
the latter cereal, the fact remains that
with both crops there is n constant
pull from the soil and no contribution
to 1t or reinforcing of IT, as is the case
when the clovers enter into the rota-
ton.
Because the expense OF hauling n
crop to market is seldom counted in
the expense OF producing il there does
not seem TO be an adequate realization
or the enormous annual cost OF haul
Ing the various crops produced in this
country TO market While the cost TO
any individual producer may not be
considerable amount, the aggregate
Tor all producers amounts 20 hundreds
or millions Of dollars every year.
The experience which some corn
growers living In the northern part OF
the corn belt have had the past two
or three years points quite conclusive
~ to the fact that the rather small
and early maturing variety Of corn Is
a better agricultural asset than the
whopping ear with shoe peg kernels
that gets pinched with the frost AT
both ends OF the season and sours on
the cob after II is put into the crib
While crops OF almost al kinds make
more vigorous growth I'm seasons that
are too wet rather than those that are
TOO dry, It IS noticeable IN n period of
years that small grain is OF n better
quality when the rather dry conditions
prevail, while the root crops do better
Do the more moist seasons. Semitrop-
lcal plants Ike the lima bean. eggplant
pepper and tomato are partial to both
heat and moisture and flourish best
when these conditions exist
