Poultry manure is a fine dressing
for the vegetable garden.
A practical system of rotation can
be worked out for every farm.
Poultry manure Is particularly
good for forcing the growth Of onions.
Sheep-killing dogs and egg-sucking
dogs make real nice soft robes and
rugs. Tan their hides.
The size Of the farm is Of not so
much Importance as the manner in
which the work is done.
Too much care can hardly be taken
in making sure that no weed seeds
are sown with your grain seed.
It is well to remember that COM
mercial fertilizers should not replace
farm manures, but simply reinforce
them.
Hollyhocks and golden-glow may be
grown along the fence at the back
or side Of the house, and require but
little room.
Squash bugs may be trapped by
laying shingles near the plants. The
bugs will be found under them early
in the morning.
Rotation Of crops is one OF the
simple. practical methods OF increas-
ing the productivity of the farm and
distributing labor.
There is but little fertilizing value
in coal ashes, but they will improve a
stiff clay soil by putting it in better
physical condition.
There are very few farms on which
additional labor expended In prepar-
ing the seed-bed would not yield
handsome returns.
The life Of bee during the busy
season is very short often during
the honey season they do not live
longer than six or eight weegH.

Making Ideal Rarnyard.

OF course. the ideal barnyard is one
made of crushed rock and cement, but
this is quite expensive and is hardly
necessary. With clean dry yard sur
rounding the dairy barn the milk can
be kept in perfect condition. as it is
not a difficult matter TO remove every
particle of the manure or mud from
the yard every day.
