FARM NOTES

Keep weeds from going to seed.
Plant satisfy vegetable oyster) for
next spring.
Don't try to save money by buy
ing cheap seed.
Farm tests are worth more than
all the theories.
Don't SOW alfalfa seed on very re-
gently plowed land.
Continue the cultivation, and keep
UP the fight against weeds.
It is none too early to commence
blowing for the 1913 crops.
Guernsey cattle are prime faVorites
in the dairy sections of the west.
No animal on the farm should
suffer from hunger, thirst or cold.
There never were better oppor-
tunities in vegetable garden than to-
day.
Build a silo and save much OF the
fodder that would otherwise go to
waste.
Go after the extra strawberry vines
and cut them out. Do not be afraid
to- slash them.
Beet green's are extremely edible
at eight weeks Of age, even II the
roots are only nubbins.
Two of the best acreage-saving
money-making propositions up to the
farmers today are silage and alfalfa.
Stormy days should not be Idle days
on the farm. Look about and see II
you cannot find some profitable work.
If you intend to allow that second
crop of clover to be plowed under, 1t
viii not hurt to pasture 1t from this
on.
Set out celery plantc which are to
be used for a late crop, and bank the
plants which were set out in June or
July.
Now the boys are looking forward
with keen anticipation to the winter
ut the agricultural college. Do not
disappoint them.
A thrifty farmer can we'll AFFORD to
spend a decent sum on good paint
with which to brighten up the Dullo-
ings about the place.

ment with the ground whereby the
implement may be drawn thereover.
This invention overcomes the disad-
yantages following the use of rim
wheel; the wheel involves a number
of radiating and staggering spokes
adapted for engagement with the
ground, thereby avoiding the packing
of the ground after being furrowed by
implements having fat rim wheels.
The illustration shows side view of
the wheel.

corn to silo is that which will produce
the most nutriment per acre, whether
it be flint or dent. 1t is an economic
advantage to have corn mature for
SLIDING. The middle Of the growing
season is July 20, from which date the
planting and harvesting Of any va
riety can be determined. The prac-
tical applications of these suggestions
ought to increase the value per acre
of silage from 40 to so per cent.

How to Bankrupt the Doctors.

A prominent New York physician says:
"If it were not for the thin stockings and
thin soled shoes worn by women the doctors
would probably be bankrupt" When you

berlain's Cough Remedy is intended especi-
