GLEANINGS.

A too big farm is a money loser.
Sweet clover is "a valuable plant for
hard land, as it improves the soil.
Little attention has yet been paid to
the matter of best grasses for each
locality.
If it is desired to destroy cut worms,
the ground should not be plowed till
just before freezing
In the growing of potatoes. thrifty,
stocky vine must be secured to get a
good supply of potatoes.
If clover will not catch" something
is the matter with the soil, and that
something had better be discovered.
Summer is good time to plow
land, when the supply of moisture in
the soil is such that the turned fur
row crumbles easily.

VentiIatinq Cellars.

Many people are asking how to ven
tilate the cellar in summer. First. do
not open all the windows and let the
wind blow through at all times. Hot
air let in on cold iron pipes, stone
walls, foundations, ETC., will condense
and cause dampness. Then the iron
will rust. During very warm weather
no wind at all should be allowed to
enter the cellar and of course in or.
der to prevent this the doors and win.
dows must be kept shut tightly. An.
other plan suggested is to keep one
window open all the time on the east
side This ventilates a clean cellar
adequately and the temperature varies
but slightly, no matter what the tenn
perature may be outside.
