boxes. The tree may be propagated
by soaking the cuttings In water for

In view Of the present scarcity of
corn OF suncient vitality to justify fts
use as seed. the farmers In the north
ern part Of the corn belt, which was
visited by the severe freeze Of last
October, are up against very real
proposition. II they cannot secure
seed which win give them at least two
thirds of a stand they would better
put In small grain In place Of the corn
They will be tempted to use seed
terminate, but this Is almost as seri-
GUS mistake as using poor seed. for
in ell proba bility. corn from such seed
would not mature In time to escape
the fall frests. In which case they
would fare no better. II good seed Of
the proper type can be secured at
cost OF even $12 per bushel it would
be better to use this than to use seed

to feel that the service she renders
Is appreciated. Spoken appreciation

have been had 1t been started on new
milk and gradually changed to a skim
milk ration REINFORCED by handful
of oilmeal at each feed and later by
oats and shelled corn. Scrimping the

more cream or butter is not a good
plan for any animal which il being

There seems to be an extraordinary
decentralization in the spud market,
due to last years unusually heavy
crop and holding Of a large per
cent of 1t close to the time when new
potatoes will be on the market. Not
withstanding the slump In prices, no
good reason win exist for reducing the
acreage OF the tubers materially, as
enough will be led to do this to mate

stay In the business on the same scale.
Before the present years growth Of
the shade trees gets well started 1t

fellow who has bis eye punched while
riding by on load Of hay or double
box wagon.
