Deep Fall Flowing and Lime Are Good
For This Crop.

Deep Fall Flowing and Lime Are Good
For This Crop.
For mangels deep fall blowing is adj
visable, with cross blowing or a
deep disk narrowing in the spring. No
crop responds more readily to good till
age than the mangel, and no crop will
be more discouraging to the man who
but half prepares the land, writes Sam
uel Fraser of Ithaca. n Y in Amer
lean Cultivator. Ten to twelve tons
per acre of barn manure should be ap-
piled to the land in the fall previous
to blowing. This may be supplement-
ed with fertilizers in spring If desired.
Before the seed is soWn u, land should
be well fitted with the disk and spike
toothed harrows. The successful grow
er will give five or six borrowings if
necessary to make the seed bed fine
Previous to the last two borrowings
apply 240 to 2S0 pounds of acid phos-
plate and 100 to l20 pounds nitrate of
soda and 100 to 100 pounds muriate
of potash per acre These should be
mixed together just before application.
The mixture should be applied early
in the spring The fertilizers will slim
ulate the young plants. In some cases
400 or 500 pounds of salt per acre are
applied.
If the land has not been recently
lined an application of 1900 to 1000
pounds lime per acre win often be
profitable. Lime is almost always adj
vantageous ON soils planted to roots.
especially for those of the beet type.
Lime modifies the soil texture and cor
reefs possible acidity. The quantity
applied should be in the neighborhood
of 1000 pounds per acre. 1t should
be reduced to fine powder either by
shaking or by pulverizing and worked
in at the last fitting.

Some Reasonah Rules.

The stable should be well ventilated,
lighted and drained. should have tight
floors and walls and should be plainly
constructed
No musty or dirty litter, no strong
smelling material and no manure should
remain in the stable longer than is alb
solutely necessary.
Whitewash the stable once or twice
year, Would recommend the use of
land plaster in manure gutter daily.
Feed no dry. dusty fodder previous
to milking. If dusty sprinkle before it
is fed
Brush the udder just before milking
and wipe with a clean cloth or sponge.
Feed a good COW literally with fresh,
palatable feeding stuffs. Do not change
these suddenly. Provide water, pure,
but not too cold, in abundance.
Throw away into the gutter the first
few streams from each teat. This milk
is very watery, of very little value and
is quite apt to injure the remainder of
the milk.-vermon Dairymen's Asso-

the fowls get to know ones voice by
speaking to them now and then, but

meat is made at a lower cost than a
pound of pork.

Of eggs is the health of the hens. You

Make Everything Snua.

The cold season came all too soon

comfortable quarters, and every days
delay means cutting down of the
profits when the yearly account is tax

season are missing in winter, and the

bic to make it
