Judging worth of Farm.

The best time of the year to look
over a farm for the purpose of buying
is in the summer, just before the
binders get to work. The good and
poor places will show up then as at
no other time, and. If the season prior
to that time has been an average one,
the crop will be a fair index of the
value of the land. The common prac-
tice of going farm hunting just after
commend it. save the inconsiderable
matter of time saved. The poorest time
In the whole year to pick out a farm
is when it is covered with drifts of
snow.

If there is no other trash on the
farm for filling washy places in the
fields straw manure from the stables
is excellent. The straw will fiji the
places and catch and hold all of the
soil that washes into them. The ma
nure in the straw will help TO make
the ground more productive when it
is again cultivated. Never pillow In

trashy and brushy filling to hold it

How often to Milk.

Most farmers and dairymen milk
their COWS only twice day, and that
is right. Sometimes a fresh COW needs
to have an excess of milk drawn be-
tween times in order to prevent con-
gestion and fever, but not for a long
period. Some COWS again have leak
ing teats. which waste the milk if not
relieved three or four times day, but
such cows are a nuisance and should
be disposed of. To milk twice a day
is enough as a general rule To milk
three times a day does not seem to
bring more milk. though some people
have thought so and acted on that
superstition.

Corn Cut for Sflagc.
Corn of any variety is at its best for
feeding or silage as it comes from the
field when about half of the ears are
just past the age for table use-com-
monty called roasting ear stage-and
the lower leaves on the stalk are be-
ginning to dry out, says Hoard's Dairy

best for any considerable time. Com

periments appear to have demonstrate

Oh nutriment per acre is obtained by
planting in continuous rows and so
thick that the tendency TO form ears
will be much lessened. The yield per
acre depends so much upon the varie-

and cultivating that no satisfactory
estimate of the average can be given.
