Farmers S Corner.

A long narrow hoe is preferable
for garden work.
Begin the fight on the weeds
early and keep it up.
Bunch beans will mature as
late as the middle of July.
Leave a lump OF rock salt wheer
the COW can get to it at any time.
She will take just what she needs
and no more.
Sow a small patch of rape for
the sheep and hogs. No better
late pasture than rape, and it
does not impoverish the soil.
Give the pigs lots of wood ash
'es and salt. A cheap but eff
cient remedy for swine diseases
which are misscalled cholera.
Chicken lice, mites and healthy
fowls don't live in the same pen.
Use plenty of insect powder on
the mother hen and little chicks.
Keep the ground we'll stirred
around the vegetables. After
the hard beating rains a crust
will form which greatly retards
growth.
Have you so arranged yuor
garden as to economic space?
Late corn or beans can be plant
ed between the onion rows and
potatoe rows to good advan-
tage.
Try sowing cow peas among
the corn this year. At the last
W orking sow the peas at the rate
of one half bushel per acre, and
when they mature turn the pigs
in and watch them grow. No they
won't bother the corn as long
as the cow peas last.

BILE to put on foot here, and which
any thinking man or woman can
not but feel would have resulted
in good to the entire community.
If | had been able to secure the
solid block of leases I5felt I was
entitled to before risking my
money on drilling a well. For
no practical man or set of men
would think of drilling a well
without first getting severy foot
of land inside of the block of
leases he contemplated operating
on, and certainly shall not. And
as l have been unable to secure
leases on four or five lots in the
immediate vicinity Of where |

for the drilling of which l was
prepared to make a contract as
sson as the last lease had been
signed up | have to abandon
the idea and go home, much as
regret having to giveup q prop
osition which believe would
have redounded to the good of
