The surplus suckers In the berry
patch must be treated as weeds. Cut
them out.
Mix brains with the manure, and pains
taking care with your cultivation and
farming will pay.
Keep your eye on the orchard. Thin
out the fruit so that no branch will
become overweighted and snap OF.
Corn for fattening. but not for bone
making. Get the frame of your hog
built first before crowding the corn
feed.
TO three and one-half feet wide and
long enough SO that the animal will
not have to stand in the gutter for
comfort
Improved methods Of cultivation
will do wonders. sometimes almost
doubling the yields. Good cultivation
more than pays.
Have extra pillow points. cultivator
teeth and duplicate bolts on hand.
They may save you vexatious delay
and serious loss.
As a general thing the farmer ncg-
iects the root crops. Valuable us
food for livestock. BE sure you pro-
vide n supply for next winter.
The ration for work horse should
be about two pounds for every 100
pounds of weight. Ten to eighteen
pounds should be grain oats cons.i-
tuting large part.
Sunshine Inns n money value for the
farmer. not only when 1t comes to
crop growing. but also as related to
stock keeping. The dark stable never
yet put thrift and health into cattle.
The first few days warmth counts
more than feed with the little chicks.
When they are Matched in the incubator
the brooder must be watched with the
greatest care to see that the right
temperature is provided. Not too hot
to weaken. not too cold to chill.
Don't waste your manure. II Is worth
money. The farmer who applies either
barnyard manure or chemical fertil-
Tiers without a very full knowledge
of how much is really needed is
wasting a product that has money
value. Applying fertilizers is a
science that Is Just beginning to be
studied by many of our farmers.
1t Is reported that State Senator
Russell OF Oklahoma is pushing
movement for the organization of
acre clubs" in every community in
the state. The plan is that each mem
Der of the club is to plant an acre OF
some product, and the scheme Is likely
to prove practical school for the
cducatian of prospective farmers.
Here is good idea for other states.
Cleanliness is absolutely essential
in the handling of the milk utensils
When thesmilk cans come back from
the 'factory clean them at once and
place them on n rack especially pro-
vided for that purpose. Do not make
the mistake many do In having this
rack under the shade trees or on the
north side of a building. Old Sol will
prove your best friend In aiding YOU to
keep the milk cans clean and sweet.
The value of thing Is coming more
and more to be appreciated by the
farmer Heavy soils especially need
this seemingly expensive treatment.
but when 1t is considered that the
productive capacity will be doubled 1t
is not hard to figure out how tiling
pays for itself in a very few seasons.
To get the surplus water out of the
soil makes 1t warmer and thus pro-

a fox farm in Prince county. Prince
Edward Island, is proving that occa-
siohally peculiar types of farming can
be made to pay handsome profit.
The parties who run this fox farm
have their farm divided off into sec
tons. each section under the care of
one person. no one else being allowed
to approach 1t. In this way the ami
mails become accustomed to the per
son in charge and grow very tame, but
IL stranger approaches they will hide
and not be seen for n day or two. As
most of the skins from the farms first
referred to were invoiced and cert.
fed at this consulate for shipment
to the United States. 1t can be stated
that many of them in their green
condition were valued at 5000 to $3.50
each. one or two reaching $3.50.
Peas that affected by the weevil
will float on water and the sound
seed sink. Plant only the latter and
burn the former. and you will have
taken one step towards Graduating
this pest from your garden. Where
peas are used in large quantities for
seed, such as field peas, the weevils
may be killed by fumigation with car.
bon bisulifide. Place the peas in a re-
ceptacle which is as nearly air tight as
possible and put on top of them some
shallow dishes. Pour into them car
bon bisulfide at the rate of half an
ounce for each bushel of peas. Close
the receptacle and let 1t remain for
