Farm Notes.

Many orchardists make a great mis-
take planting trees too deep.
Hogging down corn has a great deal
in its favor, but the hogging process
should be finished before heavy SHOWS
come.
Many a person makes the mistake OF
thinking that the hen house should be
warm at night So long as it is warm
enough to prevent the freezing Of the
combs that is sufficient. The greatest
necessity is to cut off all drafts.
There is something the matter with
the man who must drive past all the
adjoining farmsteads in order to visit
his neighbOrs.
The proper thing to do with the stray
dog in neighborhoods where hog chol-
era is prevalent is to kill him and bury
him lin the shade Of the old apple
tree"
The advantage Of testing each ear of
seed corn separately is that nearly all
the door seed can be thrown out. If
only one ear in each bushel is found to
be imperfect it will pay to do the test

Cheese Under False CoIors.

According to a recent consular re-

membert cheese boxes, bearing the
names of Nell-known French cheeses,
were imported at New York on one
steamer recently. Duty had to be paid
on the printed matter on their 1000
labels and another duty on the import
ed boxes. According to New York
trade journal. these boxes are distrib-
uted in New York State, filled and sold
in this country, and represented as
being made abroad. It is said that
many dealers claim that their domestic
cheeses when put up in the imported
boxes, can not be told from the import
