A BIG FRUIT CROP
New York Growers and Commission
Men Say Backward Spring
lnsures Heavy Yield.

Buffalo, N. Y. May 3.-Fruit dealers,
commission men and farmers all the
way from Buffalo to Lake Ontario and
along the southern waters of the lake
are figuring on one of the finest fruit
crops that New York has ever produc-
ed. The somewhat backward spring
has checked premature development
OF the buds and has also permitted ex-
tensive spraying and the eradication
of the usual spring tree diseases. Both
the apple and peach orchards are now
in splendid condition and bumper
crops seem certain. The grape crop
promises to be an unusual one and the
outlook for pears, plums, peaches,
cherries and ounces is very good

FEEDING FOR PROFIT.

The poultrynan who can give just
the right noun of foOdfrOOr
the right o OF the right food at
all times is fortunate, indeed, for With
individual hens, as with people. they
require different quantities at differ
ent times. A hen that is laying an egg
a day. or yer every other day, viii
consume considerable more food than
one that is not laying at all. Early
maturing pullets should be extra WeIt
fed. they are making growth as Well
as eggs, so don't stint them, and ia
the don't lay quite as soon as YOU
think they should remember that tina
food eaten is making flesh n bona
and they will be better size than Il
they are too precocious.-E. n. Bar

CARE OF THE LAMBS.

At eight to ten DAYS of age lam bs
will begin to eat. At that time a
creep should be built which will give
them access to a feed box containing
grain and a. trough with hay. Box
trough and feed should always be
kept sweet and clean.
A good grain ration for lambs is
made as follows: Mix one-third part
of OHM cal with one part each of bran.
oats and fine corn meal. Red alfalfa
hay or the second cutting OF alfalfa
are the most desirable form of
roughage. Of the two alfalfa is to bo
much preferred.
1t is a good idea to keep up the
grain feed right along until the lambs
are sent to market. BY so doing the
lambs are kept fat all the time and
ARE ready to be turned into cash or
snort notice should the market take Il
sudden rise.

GET AFTER MOISTURE EARLY.

Every move made with the soil his
spring, whether in field or garden,
should be done with the same care-
fulness that would be exercised if we
knew there would not be another drop
of rain till July. If this is done,
whether we have a moist or a very
dry growing season, we shall have a
good garden and fair crops.
By narrowing closely after every.
particle Of spring blowing or discing,
by passing a heavy roller over all too
loose soils and following with a tina
harrow, this car be done on a largo
and surely paying scale.
In the garden do the same, and in
addition, after any shower and once
or twice a week, shower or no shower.
pass an iron or steel rake over tina
slightly hardened surface between the
rows and hills close up to the plants.
Should ample moisture cOme-and
the n are about eve many
springs that it will not-all the extra
tillage and firning of the soil will be
we'll paid for in other ways than by
retaining the moisture, and should
the spring prove one of the old-time
very dry ones, it may mean q crop or
garden.

MINOR ITEMS OF FARM

Few farmers realize the extent or
their investment in the small items

y%enience. involved in buying numerous
articles Singly or in small lots. Be
fore planning farm equipment due
consideration should be given 70
the necessary outlay for minor items.
and. where possibly the latter should
be secured at one purchase. thereby
saving time, and usually money. The
purchase OF these articles in such q
name will mean a total expenditure
sufficient to impress h farmer with
the need for their systematic care.
The minor items for a general farm
of $50 acres Will probable cost from
200 to $500 by the time the equip

UNCLE TOBEY'S LECTURE.
With His Usua CandOr and impress

on Failures in Life.''
(HOme and Farm.)

(HOme and Farm.)
The world, in its mad race for
in society. is verging on insanity. In
the raptdity of our material progress
we are sacrificing our principles of
morality. Above the doors Of every
board OF trade building and the offices
of every great corporation, as we'll as
of most private institutions, may as
we'll be written the words, Get
Money" And this is as mild as your
Uncle Tobey can put it. In the hearts
of some Of the men who strive in
those places are written lark thoughts
as to how to "get money and VIA
they will do with it when it comes
into their possession.
We are all moved along to some
extent with this busy throng Of money
getters. Our environments make it
necessary. But happy and blessed are
they who are content with moderate
means Of subsistence, who have not
joined the made race for the glittering
baubles OF wealth, power and high So
cial position. Blessed are they who
have chosen some fixed purpose in life,
no difference how humble, M are
striving to better the condition of the.
human race. We often hear it said

lives have been failures. The most

The readers of Home and Farm
must not think that Uncle Tobey is
cranky on this subject of getting
money. There is a difference between
getting money for legitimate purposes
to buy the necessities and comforts
of life and providing for old age. and
the accumulation OF large fortunes for
the sake of the power and privileges
it gives to it's possessor. This shoe
will not pinch the feet of many read
ers Of Home and Farm. It is this
passion for getting money that is de-
mOralizing to the higher and nObler
objects and aspirations of our lives.
The young men of our land are fall
ing victims to the mania and permit
ting themselves to be drawn into the
maelstrom of it's destructive influence.
In nIlety-nine cases out of q hundred
the Young man of today. in choosing

them. When men accumulate great
wealth their lives are said to be a
success. There are some exceptions.
