GUMPTIoN ON THE FARM.


Trade one of the pups for a pig.
Roll the meadows and green fields.
Beware of planting sprouted po-
tato seed.
Plant the garden when the cherry
blooms.
1t is scabby business to plant scab-
by potatoes.
Few farmers harrow quite enough.
Harrow, harrow, harrow.
He who by the plow would thrive
must straighten up and look alive.
Dogs can thrive on bones better
than a woman can on unkind words.
Keep manure near the surface;
plow it deep and you lose some OF
it.
Seek only that which is honorable
that thou in thy poverty shouldst die
rich.
Don't forget to make two sowings
of clover, and be sure to use one-half
alsike.
Those who charge farmers With the
responsibility for the high cost of
living tell a fib

let them have time to get their
shoulders hardened to the work.

Seeding oats and peas: AS a soil
ing crop for stock, use one and one
half bushels of each per acre The
peas need to be covered much deep
er than the oats, hence it is neces-
sary to seed them separately. Seed
the peas first, weighting the drill
hoes in order to put them in four
or five inches deep. The oats are
sown broadcast and narrowed or
else drilled shallow. Make the first |
seeding as early as it is possible to
work the ground, following with two
later seedlings at intervals of two [
weeks each. Canadian field peas
are the kind to sow for this purpose

Washington, June 25.-Last bulletin
gave forecasts Of disturbances to cross
continent June 20 to July 3, warm
wave June % to July 2, cool wave
July to 3. This disturbance will be
above the normal in all its weather
features as to force and extent, caus-
ing extremes Of weather, but not a
dangerous storm. 1t will increase in
force as 1t moves eastward and will be
at it's greatest intensities in the At
lantic coast sections not far from
July 8.
Next disturbance will reach north
Pacific coast about July 4, cross Pa
cific slope by close of July s, great
central valleys July to 8, eastern Sec
tions July 8. Warm wave will cross
Pacific slope about July 4, great CEN
trail valleys July IS, eastern sections
July 8. Cool wave will cross Pacific
slope about July 7, great central VAL
leys July 8, eastern sections July IL.
This disturbance will be very much
like the one preceding It, but the earlier
will be at it's greatest force on east
part OF the continent, while the latter
will begin as an extensive storm on
the Pacific coast and decrease in force
as it progresses toward the Atlantic.
Except where drouth prevails, both OF
these storm waves will cause showers
which will continue at intervals till
about July IL and then not much rain

continue; prices have gone up 40 per
cent and promise to continue, and we
have reached the point where we need

change in value. Such a medium
would be a multiple standard based
upon some such index number of the
prices Of, say, 100 staple commodities
as is now used in BradstreeTs and
other financial magazines. The adj
vantages of this scheme have been
acknowledged by the majority of poll
tical economists from Jevons to J..

may be expected during balance of the
month.
From Cuba to the north Atlantic sec
lions few scattered places will get
excessive rains some time during July.
Southern Florida, North Carolina, Dis
trict of Columbia and eastern New
York seem to be scheduled for short
periods of excessive downpours of rain
in July.
But large sections of the states and
parts of Canada will experience seri-
Gus drouth following July IL. This
drouth will be serious drawback to
the corn crop in some sections, par
ticularly where deficiencies of rain shall
have occurred by close of June. Some
parts of the cotton belt will also be
afflicted by these scattering drouthy
conditions.
There are many indications that
farm products will bring good prices
during the balance of this year While
/ do not expect a great crop failure,
feel sure that crops will not be as great
as seemed to promise earlier in the
season, and there is no apparent rea-
son why prices should not. from the
crop standpoint, be as good or better
than they were last year.
The disturbing element Of congress
sional legislation will be out of the
way and 1t is too early after the 1908
panic for another depression.
Speculation in stocks, bonds, grain
| and cotton has great influence on prices
and prosperity, more particularly in
absorbing the money needed in othei
Is0aS of hrsfnasa and as the great
spectators have for several months
been using vast amounts Of money in
depressing prices of farm products,
probabilities strongly indicate that they
will let prices go up again, and, as they
usually do after a bear campaign, help
to boom prices of farm products. All
/ indications point to business prosperity
