worth as much money to the farmer
either for placing in his feed lot or in
selling to some feeder as the calf that
has been reared at its mothers side.
l would have on every farm herd

be handled with very great profit to

Now, the farmer cannot afford at the

Even though the farmer is procuring
excellent prices for his butter fat he
can't afford to mistreat or stunt the

liberal as need be in feeding young

be on a ration composed wholly of

nibbling hay. The calf should be thrift

Aside from the corn and the milk
ration, see that the calf gets plenty of
hay. 1t must have roughage to aid di-
gestion and distend the stomach.
The potbellied, cat hammed. stunted
and miserable calf creatures to be seen
on many farms, not so frequently now
as formerly, are the result of improper
judgment used in feeding the baby
calf. The calf so described is a dis
grace to the owner, and he should feel
ashamed of having produced the like.

CUTTING TREES.
Economy Dictates That sSapiinas

1t is worth while for farmers to pay
a little more attention to their farm
timber lots. Any one who has had to
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 if 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

Some of these will hardly make a

If 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
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. How? BY
cutting only such trees as are dead or
beginning to die. The hest 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.

THE FRUIT CROP.
Some Ideas Worth Putting Into Prae-

Some Ideas Worth Putting Into Prae-
tice Next Season.
1t is mistake to suppose that fruit
bearing plants will do their best if
they receive attention only now and
then. Irregular care will not amount to
much. Moreover. the cultivator should,
as soon as the bearing season Is over,
begin to consider what may be done
to induce better crop next year.
Many old plantations of raspberries
and blackberries that are filled with
dead canes and weeds can be so re-
newed and renovated that they will
bear an abundance of fine fruit. To
keep berry patch in the highest state
of productiveness the old canes should
be removed after fruiting and the
young growth of small canes properly
pruned out and thinned in the row. If
this is neglected next year you will
have small crop of inferior berries.

Blackberries and the red or sucker
varieties of raspberries require similar
culture. In May begin to cultivate and

ries should be thinned so the plants

them. Keep the ground clean with
cultivator and hoe and the soil stirred
about the plants.
Keep in mind the tree form when
pruning. Pinch off the top when the
cane is about four feet high. The lat
erals will then grow, and you will have
a bush something like tree pruned to
vase form. The laterals should be cut
back to one or two feet in length. and
the new growth will then make bush

Tender varieties that must be laid
down in winter should not be SO
pruned. Blackcap raspberries and
blackberries require more room be-
tween the plants in the row than red
raspberries.

by which the finest dessert fruit may
be grown. Set the plants about seven
feet apart each way. allow only three
or four canes to grow in hill, set
three posts around these in the form
of a triangle and nail some wire around

CUcUMBERs.
They Need Plenty of Heat, Light and
Moisture.

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
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 a purpose.

NOW THE
BABY CALVES.
By T. A. BoRMAN. Kansas.

It beats the world how small farm
ers. men who would engage in the
most economical use of their land and
who should be saving every vestige of
fodder and grain. will hang on to the
old notion that the supreme service of
a good cow is to rear calf or two for
the feed lot and in the end sacrifice her
own body on the butchers block This
beef idea is an extravagant idea.
There are many farmers who would
not object so much to milking cows
and patronizlng creamery if they felt
assured they could raise calf with
credit to themselves and their other
farming operations.
