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 q fair index Of the
value of the land. The common prac-
tice of going farm hunting just after
the springs work is over has little to
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.

THE KENTUCKIAN WAS PLEASED
He Secured a Good H~aIf-Section in
Central Canada.

He cure a Good HaIf-Section in
Central Cannda.
1t is not only from Kentucky, but
from thirty-fve to forty different
states that there comes the expression
of satisfaction from those who have
taken up lands in Central Canada as
a free homestead or have purchased
lands.
Mr.. E. K. Bell, of Frankfort, Ken
lucky, writes to a Canadian govern
ment official, and says: II have just
returned from Alberta, overjoyed with
my trip. Your literature was very
f1attering, but not half what / found
it. I bought a half section between
Calgary and Edmonton, one mile from
railroad, near a good town. This is the
to see. I will go in the spring and
get to work on my place. 1 think it
is the coming country of the world"
Some of the papers describe the set
Ting Of the Canadian West as "becom-
ing a fever with a great many people.
The lure of it's golden promises is
creeping into their hearts and many
are they who are answering the call
Of that unsettled territory" This
paper editorially cautions its readers
to exercise care and thought before
moving to a distant country. This
would be a wise %precaution, and is ex-
actIy what the Canadian officials ask.
The success of the settler who has
made Canada his home for years Is
the best evidence that can be offered.
And of the large number of Ameri-
cans who have made their homes in
Canada, very few have returned. All
are satisfied.

Did This Dog Reason?

We brought from Scotland a collie
about 6 months old. He was allowed
to be with us at the breakfast table,
but never to be fed in the dining room.
This rule was strictly enforced by my
daughter. | was the only member of
the family who ever broke over the
rule. And often when L offered him a
tempting bone he would glance across
the table. and if he caught the forbid
ding eye he would resist the tempta-
ton. But one morning she left the table
abruptly. Rab followed her into the hall
and watched till she had closed the door
of her study. Then he scampered back,
nudged my elbow, as if to say: t"Now is
our timel" He seized the bone, and
was soon c~runching it with the greatest
satisfaction.-Cor. New York World.

Cultivation of the orchard Is mainly
for conserving soil moisture. If culti-
walton is begun early in the season
and continued until midsummer,
growth of wood will be stimulated and
fruit developed. Less moisture in late
summer and early fall is desired, so
that wood will properly develop and
harden to be able to stand the cold
Of the following winter. Arrange to
cultivate the orchard early in the
summer and have the soil in good fix
for sowing to rye or other cover crop
toward the last Of summer. The cover
crop will afford some good winter pas
ture and will keep hilly land from
washing away.

Why Autos Brighten Horses.

This bit of brightness is said to have
cropped out in the conversation between
two Lawrence misses not old enough to
go to school, says the Kansas City Jour
nal:
What makes "a horse act naughty
when he sees an auto?"
ut is this way: Horses is used to
SEEM other horses pull wagons. and
they don't know what to think of 'em
goin' along without a horse. Guess if you

How Often to MIX,

Most farmers and dairymen milk
their COWS only twice a 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 a 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
supposition.

the horses necks and at the same time
holds the tongue rigid when going
down hill. First get a nice straight
locust sapling for a tongue, one having
a natural fork at the end for the neck
yoke, as shown. Have your black
smith make two loops from an old
wagon tire as seen at A, with half inch
holes and bolts to attach them to the
two forward c~ross-pieces Of sled, holes
being bored in the c~ross-pieces to
match holes in irons. The tongue is
then notched a little to receive the
crOss-pieces.

Control of San Jose Scale.

Although the San Jose scale is a
thing to be avoided, it is not dreaded
SO much as it used to be. The lime
sulphur wash will prevent the disease
from spreading. 1t is a cheap wash
for small trees, but quite expensive
for large trees. but it pays. Spraying,
cultivation, pruning and care Of any
crop, If properly done, are to a GER
tain extent expensive and troublesome,
but they pay in the end in the quan-
tity and perfectness of the fruit.

Thin Sod i'm Pasture.

Never let the sod get thin on the
pasture land, for this always means
the decrease of the root systems of the
plants and a decrease in their ability
to penetrate the soil in search of plant
food. When sod becomes so thin that
the hoof of the animal will break
through it in wet weather, 1t has
reached a state of exhaustion that re-
quires attention.

Filling Washy Places.

II 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 fill 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
a gully with fresh dirt without some
trashy and brushy filling to hold it
and catch more.

Pointers In Farm. Management.
The wise farmer wants assurance on
the soil of any land that he may con-
template buying.
Glover alone can not indefinitely
maintain the land. A rotation will not
enable us to maintain the fertility of
the soil.
Acidity may be overcome by apply
ing from 500 to 1000 pounds OF lime
per acre, or by the use Of floats or
grounds shells.
There is much Of value written these
days about work on the farm which
will never benefit some farmers, be-
cause they have the notion that they
are too busy to read.
No other people set so high a value
on good soil as the Hollanders, and
we are learning that not many acres,
but rich ones, make the profitable
farm.

rather deeply into the subsoil and en-

Do not SOW alfalfa on a foul field;
money Is lost, time and patience worn
out and the crop of alfalfa will be dis

on land thoroughly prepared for it
and in a clean seed bed.
1t is the wise farmer who feeds all
he raises and then buys some from
his neighbors to feed. The farmer
who carries such an amount of live
stock will be constantly improving his
land and making it more productive.

Preparing Corn Seed Bed.

1t is a good rule in blowing never
to leave the corn field either at noon
or at night without first narrowing
the ground that has been plowed.
Spring blowing Is often abused by
turning the clods up to the sun and
dry wind to bake and dry, and depend
ing upon a shower to mellow the
ground before planting. No ground is
really properly prepared as a seed bed
for corn without the use Of the disc.
