CARE OF THE CHERRY.

The cherry needs but little prun-
inc. and is, in fact, easily injured by
c1tting the main limbs. Such work
as is generally needed should be con.
Sned to thinning the fruit spurs in
the top of the trees and the keeping
Of the centre open. The outside limbs
will droop more or less and this
shows that the trunk needs shade.
The finest cherries are usually grown
on these under limbs in the deepest
shade and proves that while the
cherry delights in warm soil and
sunny slope it has way of its own
of protecting the fruit and does not
require pruning like the peach and
apple. Home Journal.

HOW no crow BEANS.

Everyone wants snaps, but most
farmers content themselves with one
planting. The Refugee bean is best
for early planting, as it is a little
more hardy than others. Later, plant
Valentine. Plant just enough for
temporary supply, and as soon as
those are we'll up, plant more and
keep this UP till September Then,
il you have lot of green pods when
frost threatens, gather them and put
them in stone jars in strong brine,
and you can take them out all win
ter and soak over night in fresh water
and they are just as good next day as
fresh ones, and you can have them
all winter.
Plant Lima beans in rows like
snaps and gather the green beans as
fast as ready Do not let them ripen
for they will stop bearing, but If
regularly gathered as fast as ready,
they will bear all summer. Any SUR
plus of green beans can be dried for
winter use and will be better than
ripe ones.-Farmers' Home Journal

GoosEBERRY BUSHES.

Keep an eye on the currant and
gooseberry bushes. After the first
new leaves come, examine the bushes
daily; and the moment you see a
currant worm, get busy. The sim
plest, best remedy is solution Of
one ounce of fresh white hellebore in
three gallons of water, sprinkled or
sprayed on the bushes when the first
worms appear. Delay means disas-
ter, for these ravenous worms, left
unmolested a few days, will strip q
bush of all its foliage, and then Of
what avail is treatment? A second
brood of the worms sometimes ap-
pears, which necessitates a second
dose of poison. Farmers Home

BUTTER FAT SUBSTITUTES.

At the Nebraska station tests have
been made to determine whether or
rot corn oil could be substituted for
the fat removed in skimming the
milk, but unsatisfactory results were
secured.
1t is always well to teach the calf
to eat hay and grain as soon as posi-
BILE. With the dairy calf this grain
mixture should consist of equal parts
of cornmeal, wheat bran and linseed
meal, The calf should not be per-
mitted to become fat, bat should be
maintained in thrifty. growing con-
dition. A handful of the mixture
placed in the feed trough before the
calf will soon get it in the habit of
nibbling at the grain and from then
on it will eat more and more each
day.-Weekly Witness.

A PLEA FOR THE LAWN.

How much more attractive the
country homes would appear If we
would see that the grass be kept
moved closely with the lawn mower,
not once or twice during the summer,
but quite frequently, say every week
or two. Country people are usually
very busy throughout the summer
and fall months, but If little special
effort were made each aud every one
OF us could soon get our lawns in
such condition that they would not
require great amount OF time or
labor to keep them green and velvety.
But the grass should be moved FREE
quently; If not the weeds grow rapid
ly, and eventually kill it cut.
The well-kept lawn, with its
smooth green sod, a flower bed or
two in some pretty design that meets
the fancy, a few climbing vines, some
roses, lilacs and other shrubs make
even the most homely and unpreten-
tious abode take on an allurement
and attractiveness that the finest
architecture cannot give.
There is everything in environ
ment, and we owe it to ourselves and
to our children to surround the home
with all that is good and true and
beautiful; and when we do, our lives
will be made much brighter and hap
pier thereby.-Efae Reed Polk, in the
IREifpa Farmer.
