very heavy seeding was believed to
be necessary In order to insure a good

So much interest has been aroused in
tn matter that farmers are now pre-
pairing to put out two additional acres,
making three acres In all. They have
found by this demonstration that they
can grow enough hay to take care OF
two or three head of horses used IN
their general farm work. The success
with the hay crop has encouraged
farmers, furthermore, to look into the

Fv this means records are secured

EAPM NOTES

Don't change the collar from one
horse to another,
Cultivate a cheerful tone in speak
ing to your horse.
Cut down the dead trees, as well as
decaying branches of live trees.
1t does not pay to feed and care
for inferior horses On the farm.
Wherever dairying is most extern
sively carried on alfalfa is popular.
If leaves strew the lawn do not re-
move them. They protect the grass.
A little oil of p%ennyroyal or oil of
cloves will drive flies away from the
stable.
At any season, when the horse has
become excessively warm he should
be cooled off gradually.
Healthy foliage held late in the sea-
son enables the trees to build stronger
buds for the next crop.
Peach trees should be planted II
feet apart each way, 270 trees per
acres, and on sandy soil.
Get busy making the tar paper col
lars for the cabbage and tomato
plants to keep away the cut worms.
Thin the vegetables Just as soon as
they come up. Why give room to
plants not needed any more than the
weeds!
Melon and squash seeds soaked in
. thin solution Of saltpeter will. so a
correspondent writes, save them from
the striped beetle.
There is no season of the year when
silage comes In handler than just now
while 1t is necessary to tide over
between winter feed and pasture.
The ideal sheep farm is one with
comparatively little low-lying land and
about equal area Of permanent blue
