dHL tudu lu6 sui. IL dn luedl Dull
(sandy loam) for gardening purposes
is far remote from good market, 1t
is difficult to be financially successful.
II, on the other hand, the soil is quite
unfavorable. but near good market
and available supply ofsmanure, 1t Is
comparatively easy to make finan-
clal success of market gardening. 1t
1s important, however. to select soils
which are naturally loose and friable
If mixed line of gardening is to be
followed
In preparing beds for flowers 1t
should be remembered that most flow
ers which produce yellow bloom
should not have much organic mat
ter In the 1oil. Red or purple flowers
will do best on a soil with a reason
able amount of organic matter, and
plants which are grown for their foil
age should be attempted only on rich
soils. We speak of that now because
years flower beds.
If you have only common COWS,
breed them to male of standard
dairy breed and the result will give
grade animals. These half-blood
grade animals bred in the same line
will give animals more nearly pure
bred. and this breeding and selection
with judgment will result In herd of
high producing animals that will make
money for the breeder or the man who
buys them.
Trimming the orchard is imperative
and trimming the hedge rows is just
as important. An unti immed orchard
not only fails to produce fruit but is
also Improbable In the shabby ap-
pearance 1t gives the farm. The un.
trimmed hedge is even more objec.
uonable as one gets his first impress
sion from the outside.
Humus making crops are such
grasses as timothy. clover. blue grass.
bronze grass and alfalfa 1t has been
found that grass land plowed and put
into crops is under better conditions
of moisture and freer from weeds than
land that has grown grain continu-
ously.
When the fowls begin molting they
will practically cease laying. As the
growing of new feathers is a heavy
drain on the fowl extra feed should
be given. A small amount of linseed
meal can be given to an advantage.
Feedwheat and oats rather than much
corn.
Don't let the young orchard trees 20
into winter without protection.
Anything that shades the bark will
protect from sunseald but covering
that gives the tree immunity from
both sunscald and gnawing from ro-
dents is better.
A well drained soil with good eleva.
tion, slightly higher n possible than
the surrounding area. fairly heavy In
character, with a deep. strong, but
not hard-pan subsoil furnishes the
best conditions for successful apple
growing.
While there is never any very large
