The number Of people killed yearly
by wild beasts don't approach the vast

grand protection is afforded by Electric
Bitters, which destroy and expel these
deadly disease germs from the system.

fer, Try them, and enjoy the glorious

Soil incubation.

Soil incubation. said DIR. Jordan,
has its place. but will not cover any
sins Of cultivation, fertilization, etc.
In the absence Of the required special
soil bacteria II will mend the soil en-
vironment so that certain plants will
have a chance to thrive. All station
work should be something more than
just skinned over the surface to
make some sort of show. Stations are
liable to pay too much attention to
variety tests and to tests of methods
applicable more or less to local con-
ditions. Hitching's orchard methods
may be profitable In one place and ut
terly worthless In another. Station
horticulture should deal with general
principles. In plant breeding we want
something more than simply new vari.
cites. a field that may be left for pri-
vate enterprise.

Dartmouth college is undertaking
an interesting social experiment in
New Hampshire. A team of five or
six representative students are sent
around through the rural commun-
tiles within reasonable radius Of the
college. Their mission is not evan
gelization, but the promotion of so
ciability. The team includes a man
who is able to supply" the pulpit Of
the village church and deliver sim
pie and earnest sermon. Other mem
bers OF the little embassy can sing
or play some instrument, enhancing
the attractiveness of the Sunday serv-'
ices and contributing to bucolic gaiety
on weekday evenings.
Concerts. plays, debates. minstrel
shows, field days and carnivals of all
sorts are Misunderstanding that
will bring the members of isolated
mountain communities into contact
with the legitimate recreative influ-
ences that are enjoyed by those who
live in larger places. This instruc-
ton brings a whole neighborhood to-
gether and sociability and true neigh
borliness are promoted.

TIMOTHY AND RED TOP HAY
fore Seed Ripens-Excellent for
All Young Stock.

Timothy should be cut for market
before the seed ripens Farmers usu-
ally get their wheat hauled into the
barn before commencing to cut tim
othy as the wheat is the more valu-
able crop, and should be hauled in be-
fore the grain is damaged by heavy
rains
When timothy is fully ripe. good
plan Is to cut as soon as the dew Is
off in the morning, rake up in the aft
ernoon and rack and the next day haul
in or stack In the field. With full
force Of hands this is the best and
cheapest way. the hay is cut, cured and
stacked before 1t becomes so dry as
to break In the handling of 1t. The
side delivery hay rake, the rake load
er and the hay fork in the hands Of
competent men make quick work. Red
top makes a slow growth at first and
ripens the latter part of July 1t is
well to have field of red top for win
ter feed. This grass thrives best upon
low damp meadow land II plenty Of
seed is sown, 1t will drive out almost
all weeds and grasses, and the land II
deep and rich will give heavy yield
of fine excellent hay. which all stock
are very fond.
The timothy and red top meadows
should not be pastured unless the sec
ond growth Is luxurant.
II possible the second growth clover
should be cut for seed, or for hay. The
second growth of clover will make
horses slobber in mid-winter, but the
hay is excellent for cows, sheep and
young stock

inch or SO of the lower end Of the
cutting is passed through this slot
and turned up, to form a loop. The
tool is then thrust into the ground
to the depth desired, and as 1t Is
withdrawn the slip is left in the hole
The earth around the top of the hole
is pinched together to hold the plant
erect, and there you are. The old
method of first punching hole with
stick or finger and then thrusting the
plant into 1t took a great deal more
time.
