Weed, and weed and weed again. In
brief, pull up every weed as soon as you
see 1t. All the work of this kind done
this season will save a great deal of
labor next year for every plant allowed
to go to seed will most likely be perpet-
uated by thousand seedlings.

den beds and clipping away seed yes

making good their loss and as flowers
are the first step toward the formation
of seed. they viii soon produce a new
crop OF blossoms.

the suckers about this plant of which so
much colwDlaint is made, win cause no
more trouble than ordinary weeds. 1t is
when they are allowed to grow for a sea-

keep them down from the start and you
will have nothing TO complain Of. A
place without the lilacs would be one that
failed to live up to the privileges war

The hot summer months are the
most critical time of the year for the
dairy cows and the most trying time
stricken pastures are discouraging to
dairyman. Everything possible should
be done to reduce the loss and suffer
ing of the cattle during this period.
find that it pays to keep the cows in
side during the heat of the day and feed
supplemental forage crops and a little
grain feed.
The sight Of a herd of cattle stamp
ing flies in a drouth-stricken pasture
does not speak favorably of profits and
comfort. I have never been in favor
of growing acres of forage crops and
catch crops for soiling purposes for on
the average farm 1t is not necessary
However, it does pay to hold over an
abundance of ensilage and cut either al
falfa, clover or corn to feed the cows
when the pastures are failing. No
catch crop exceeds these regular crops
in the amount or quality of forage
yielded per acre and when they are
harvested in the ordinary way they win
furnish the best feed for the herd dur
ing the winter.
In trying to save tons Of hay and
bushels of grain for winter feeding
many men allow dollars of immediat-
profit to slip through their fingers. BY
holding back these crops for winter
feeding when their animals are suffer
ing and falling away in flesh condition
1t is far more sensible to cut ana
feed a portion of the green feed that 1t
is to take the land out of the regular
rotation and grow supplemental crops
that are less desirable for soiling pur-
poses. It seems difficult to impress II
upon the average mans mind that the
best winter feeding crops are the best
soiling crops.
The use Of corn. clover and alfalfa
as soiling crops is simple matter.
They can be cut and used as needed.
Peas, oats, millet, barley and rare and
various oI.ier crops are very valuable
when pastures are falling None of
them yield more green feed than the sta
pie crops of corn, clover and alfalfa.
so there is no particular advantage to
be gained by growing them except as q
catch crop between the regular crops in
case Of failure. No complicated system
is needed to supplement dry pastures.

GOOD rENCEs

Good fences make friendly neilghbors.
Any man who keeps livestock should
have good fences and strong gates. Bro
ken down fences and dilapidated gates
are constant source of annoyance and
trouble. Many valuable animals are in
jured by broken fences and gates, not
always by the fence or gate itself, per-
haps by getting out through the fence
or gate into a field of clover OF grain
and eating sufficient to cause bIoat or
by getting into an apple orchard and
choking or by strolling onto the rail-
road track and being hit by the cars
Perhaps the whole herd breaks through
the neighbours fields and destroys his
crops. Such things are mighty unpleas-
ant and cause bad feelings among the
best of neighbors.
Good fences and strong gates are
cheaper than good stock and damage
suits. Good gates and fences add to
the permanent value of the farm II
a man has not sufficient pride in his
farm to keep up his fences and gates
the matter of economy should compel
him to give these matters attention.
1t is poor economy to allow pure
bred cow to break through a 50 gate
and get with calf to some neighbor's
scrub bull The POOR gate Is the weak
est link in the fence. There is nothing
that adds more to the general appearances
of the farm than good, strong fences.
Such appearances amount TO hundreds
of dollars If we are selling our farms.

SOUTHERN STRAWBERRIES STRONG
COMPETITION


The northern berry growers are now
confronted by very strong competition
which has recently sprung up in certain
sections of the south. where berries have
never before been grown. The railroads
are developing this industry rapidly and
are helping the growers to go into new
fields by liberal cash advances or by
buying plants and fertilizer for them
An Englishman named Lee, who Is in
the business in South Carolina gives the
result of his crop last year which is re-
marlkable and shows what northern
growers must contend with. He says:
Last years statement was made public
and I am satisfied that 1t was one of
the most remarkable evidences OF what
can be done with the soil in this sec
ton, that could be produced or that the
heart could desire.
ut is a statement that in one instance
shows that an inexperienced man could
come from northern state and on land
that was considered worthless by the
native element, sell over 81, 200 worth of
strawberries from three acres, with net
returns of over 81, 400.
II did not start to raise htrawberries
until the fall OF 1902. I set out two
acres OF young plants and finished plant
ing them December 80. began picking
them scarcely four months after planting
! had from them in net returns $780, Last
July, planted half an acre more and
IN October I increased my whole patch
to nearly three acres. Although I did not
get more than a third of a crop, on ac-
count of unprecedented drouth. still
received in net returns $3.50"

GROWING PEANUTS


Any soil that will raise good corn
will raise peanuts, but the best results
are obtained from light, sandy soils.
If planted in heavy soils the nuts are
sometimes stunted. Peanuts should
not be planted on the same soil year
after year but should be used in rota-
ton.
1t is better to manure the land in
the fall and pillow it with a disk and
harrow thoroughly the next spring.
Make the seed bed as fine as a garden
bed. Plant the seeds in rows about
IL feet apart.
With a small turning pillow throw up
two burrows and nudge as you would
to plant sweet potatoes. After the
ridges are thrown up go over them with
the weeder or scraper fastened to the
back teeth OF the cultivator.
The seed should be dropped about
eight inches apart and two seeds in a
place and two inches deep. The ridges
should then be brushed down and the
seeds covered by drawing the earth over
them about a foot.
Cultivation should begin before the
plants are up to keep out the weeds
and the field must be kept absolutely
clean. Cultivate as close as possible
but be careful not to destroy the roots
or the forming peanuts.
The ridges should be kept two or
three inches high and the soil must al
ways be loose because as soon as the
plants are in full bloom the buds be-
gin to form the nut in the loose soil.
They are harvested by means Of
forks, the plants being lifted out or
the ground and the dirt taken from the
COOLERS and the vines thrown in a
heap. Five or six rows can be placed
in On winrow. The vines are then
shocked around a pole thrust into the
ground and cross piecs should be nail
ed to the poles and the vines piled up
lightly to provide circulation of arr.
Boards or straw should be laid on the
ground so that the vines should not
touch the soil.
The nuts must be allowed to sit in
the shock until thoroughly cured They
can then be taken to the barn where the
nuts are picked by hand or they can be
picked In the field If the weather is fine.
There are machines for threshing pea
nuts but these are not used except
when large crops are grown.
Peanuts are easy to grow and make
profitable crop. They are sold most
ly to roasters who prepare them for
eating. although a large amount of pea
nut oil Is made every year as a sub
stitute for olive oil. Peanut butter IS
also coming into favor and large guam
titles of nuts are sold for this purpose.

but science. Simple. it is true, but all
the same science.
People who are troubled with their
cream and butter are generally those
who have made no study of the prin-
ciples that absolutely govern the sour

There is no excuse for any farmers

good butter making in these days or

not sweet and firm, attend the short
course in dairying at the state insti-
tute this fan.
Notified butter is generally due 20

THE HIRED MANS ROUSE

Every farm where ..ired help IS en-
ployed by the year should have good,
comfortable quarters for the help. 1t is
time we began to reform our habit Of
housing our farm help. One of the rea-
sons why laboring men prefer TO live in
the city is because they cannot find COM
Portable houses in the country. How
many dairy farmers who are complain
ing about the scarcity OF good help pro-
vide as good house for their help as
they do for their COWS? Can we blame a
self-respecting laboring man for not
moving his family into howell? The
American farm laborer is a human being
and he should be shown as much respect
as a prize Jersey. to say the least
How many neat and attractive cot
tages suitaDle for an american laboring
man are there vacant in your neighbor-
hood? any good man who is worth hir-
ing by the year Is worthy of a good.
comfortable house for himself and fam
ily.
If we keep good help we must treat
them right. Men who have no homes
go to the most cheerful places they
can find and I am sorry TO confess 1t Is
not always in howell behind a big red
barn. The better the house and sur
roundings you furnish, within limits the
better class of men you will be able TO
hire.
