CUcUMBERS.
They Need Plenty Of Heat, Light and
Moisture.

They Need Plenty Of Heat, Light and
Moisture.
To grow cucumbers to perfection
plenty Of heat, light and moisture are
required. They will thrive in any
good soil not too heavy or sandy.
Seed may be sown as soon as the
danger of frost Is past Six or eight
seeds should be planted In each hill,
the hills being about six feet apart
each way.
In the early spring seed may be
sown In hills which are protected by
glass covered frames. When the
plants have grown to about four
inches in height and there seems to be
little danger of them being injured by
insects or other causes they should be
thinned out to about three plants in a
hill
Frequent cultivating is needed until
the vines begin to run freely. As Gu.
cumbers are subject to several dis.
eases, the old vines should be de.
stroyed or cleared away in the autumn
and the crop should not be planted
two years in succession on the same
land. The worst feature of cucumber
culture is the insect pests, but these
may be controlled by busting with dry
Insecticides or even with bone dust.
Cucumbers for picking should be
gathered when quite small. They may
be successfully preserved in brine,
from which they are taken as needed,
soaked in fresh water and placed In
vinegar. There are many varieties,
each good for purpose.

CUTTING TREES.
Economy Dictates That saplnss
Should Not Be Felled.

Should Not Be Felled.
1t is worth while for farmers to pay
a little more attention to their farm
timber lots. ANY one who has had to
buy lumber lately knows that its price
is almost prohibitory.
In fact building operations on the
farm as well as elsewhere have been
greatly kept back by the high prices
asked for all kinds of lumber.
Take trip about the country. and
you will see some things that will
make your heart ache II you care any
thing for trees. In the mill yards OF
the east and middle west, where hem
lock and pine grow, you will find little
trees, hardly as large around as a
stovepipe, waiting to be sawed.
Some Of these will hardly make a
2 by scantling.
II those saplings could have been
permitted to stand few years longer
they would have been worth many
times more than they are now. But
the spirit seems to be to cut the trees
down now and let them go for what
they will bring. This is quite in line
with much we do In other directions at
the present time. The dollar we can
get now Is the dollar we must have.
Tomorrow may look out for itself.
The farmer has it In his power to
put check to this waste. Howf By
cutting only such trees as are dead or
beginning to die. The best farmers do
this themselves, and If they rent their
lands they insist that their tenants
shall do the same. And then they may
set out more trees.
If they are compelled to cut any live
trees for building purposes, they may
also set out other smaller trees to take
their place. They may also fight fire,
the worst enemy we have in our for
ests. They may work for better timber
laws. And they may educate their
boys to love the woods and try to keep
them growing.

turn them in a pen made of boards a

feet square. Around this two feet of
poultry wire is placed to keep the

chickens from getting to scalp the lit

it easy to change them around. In this

are shut In and kept till the grass Is

in when 1t rains. They cannot run In
