an excellent device to use where two

nothing to enter the box except what

If the main drain is to be built of

OF these, 2S.947 are employed in the

A Few Farm TIPS.

Alfalfa or clover makes an excellent
pasture for hogs.
Keep the water sprout growths rub
bed off the fruit trees.
Oats make one Of the best horse feeds
grown on the farm.
Cow peas are to the South what
clover and alfalfa are to the North.
Angora goats have been found ex-
ceedingly profitable on many farms.
Bordeaux mixture is the best all.
around spraying material In exist
ence.
In renting land be sure to make o
contract with the tenant and then both
live up to it
No n is quite so much out Of place
as the farmer who retires to a whit
Ting place in town.
All the corn growing land is taken.
Cheap corn land is no more. The price
OF corn must stay up.
A farmers garden is not a JOY for
ever to the grocer because It means
fewer sales of foodstuffs to him.
When a mare with a colt has to be
worked it is the best plan to keep the
colt at the barn while she is in the
field.
Change pastures as often as possible,
especially with sheep, as they are apt
to become contaminated with some
disease.
The atmosphere contains in unlimit-
ed quantities one or tne most essential
plant foods, dtrogen, but the farmer
must grow n legumes before he can
get any ben II from this vast store.
