Cultivatjno the Beets.

Each cultivation of the beet crop
should be little deeper than the one
preceding It. We believe in more cul-
tivation and less irrigation. Before
turning In the water the beets should
begin to show the need of it. This
may be determined by watching them
in the afternoon of a bright, sunny
day. :, leaves will wilt to certain
extent, rat will revive again at night.
When the tops wilt slightly in the
afternoon the bets are still growing
and are going down deeper into the
soil. which will give longer and better
shaped beets than when the moisture
is applied to the surface too often,
which goes to make tops instead of
beets. Generally speaking, two irriga.
tions are sufficient and the last one
should be completed in time to give
the beets at least four weeks to ripen
and mature, the same as any other
crop. %.

NOTES ON SHEEP RAISING

Ten sheep will eat as much as one
COW and aim to feed accordingly. 1t
Is all right to feed on the ground un.
less 1t Is muddy anS wet. when they
should be fed in racks: the threshed
oats or coarse feed in trough.
The average farmer should keen
clear OF fads. Grow sheep for both
wool and mutton. Both are grown on
the same carcass and both should be
considered in the line OF profit in their
production. a sheep is no more a
sheep without wool than 1t would be
without mutton.
There are 9O.O00.00O people in this
country, but we are raising only about
5O.OOO.OOO sheep-half sheep for
each person yearly. We ought to be
eating whole sheep every l2 months.
Then the sheep business would hum.
And this can be brought about by
raising good sheep and educating the
foreigners who are coming over ut
the rate OF a million year to eat
them.
The best condition In sheep produc.
ton cannot come until the principal
part of the flocks of America is to be
found on farms. The distribution
should be wide and not confined 10
one locality.

Garden on Every Farm,

A good many men plow their gar.
den in the spring and harrow 1t, with.
out ever applying any kind of manure
and leave the rest OF the work to be
done by the women folks and n good
deal of heavy digging and transplant.
ing of vines should be done because
the women are not strong enough or
else have too much house work to do.
But good garden should be on every
farm and n farm of 16O acres or more
should have at least an acre of gar
den well attended and | would advise
1t to be divided in one-tenth-acre
tracts or size tracts to suit. one-tenth
to be planted to each different per.
ennial plant, such as asparagus. ber-
ries and grapes. and then as much of
the land to annual plants as is needed
to supply the demand of an ordinary
16O-acre farm. And don't forget a
patch Of grouno in the garden for al
falfa for green manuring.

Air and Water.

Air is just as necessary an ele-
ment in the soil as the water. but
both must be there in proper quanti-
ties. If there Is too much air and
too little moisture nitrification ceases.
If there is too much moisture and too
little air the effect Is the same. From
ten years experience and observation
we have concluded that certain
chemical action must be practically
continuous in the soil during the
growing season if we are to grow the
largest crops. This chemical action
is unquestionably dependent upon
lust certain ideal or perfect condi-
tion of the sofia physical condition
that will carry in the soil just the
ideal quantity of both air and water
and then as soon as the soil be-
comes sufficiently warm natures work
begins.

SOMETHING ABOUT TREES.

The Glove Is the flower bud of an
evergreen tree. When the flowers are
in full bloom they are of brilliant
red, the little ball at the top of the
Glove being formed of curled-up pet,
ais. Glove trees are natives of the
Moluccas. or Spice islands.
Horticultural inspectors in Wash.
ington. Oregon and Idaho report that
there are 100000 growing fruit
trees in those states-5,744,257 of
them bore fruit last year.
A yearling tree is preferred by
many to older trees. They are
thought to be safer to transplant than
two-year-old trees.
When planting never let the roots
get dry by leaving them in the sun or
wind. Keep the trees covered with
wet sacks and uncover one at time.
An old elm tree was recently cut
down near Oldtown, Me. The. tree
was four feet and four inches at the
butt and 121 bateau knees were cut
from it's branches and sold for $27.50.
Five more cords of wood from the tree
sold for IS per cord.

Cherries.

Fine cherries are grand fruit. Ma.
ture has never provided satisfactory
substitute for them. The extreme
measures adopted by boys, young and
old, to satisfy the inward. inbred, in
tolerable craving for them, when
temptingly displayed on some neigh.
boris tree. attest the captivating and
alluring lusciousness of fine cherries,
says writer in an exchange. I may
further state with safety that the as.
sumption of considerable risk in this
respect by the young boys is strong
evidence of cultivated palate and
discriminating judgment, as well as a
goading appetite.

Profit In Fruit.

While the average money received
from an acre of apple trees will not
exceed $75, in many cases, under mod
ern methods Of high culture, proper
fertilizing and spraying of the trees
to destroy insects and fungous dis
eases yield of 5000 to $500 per acre
is obtained on many farms. and there
are well-known instances where $500
has been received for an acre of Bald

,rrIoatino the Garden.

The garden should be well and
deeply plowed every winter or fall
after a heavy coat of manure has been
applied. The land should be irrigated
during the winter SO that the spring
thaws and freezes will better rot the
manure.
If there are any high spots which
are hard to irrigate they should be
leveled off, as the garden is a place
where there should be no time wasted
in caring for what grows there.
