signs.
One can destroy thousands of in
sects one cannot see by raking and
burning all rubbish on the place.
An inspection of the chimneys now
and a little mortar may save a bad
fire this winter.
Cut scions now for grating next
spring. Pack in sawdust or sand very
lightly dampened.
Fasten down the tops of the hay
stacks-or better still-cover them.
1t pays big.
Open up and clean out every drain
ditch on the place.
Rush the work on the ice house, but
do not put in the first ice that comes.
Mulch the strawberry bed after
the ground freezes, not before.
Push the turkeys for three weeks
just before selling.
Keep some of your best turkeys and
chickens for the Christmas market,
and send them in early to avoid the
glut.
Keep the paint brush going until
every implement on the place is GOV
cred.
1t will take a few hundred feet OF
thing, some grading, and a little ell
bow-grease to make the feed lot dry
during the winter, but it will pay big
in the added comfort to the animals,
which always means added flesh.
II we cannot afford a silo, we can
certainly afford a field of horned tur-
nips or mangels. They are not equal
to a silo, of course. but they do help
to make dry feed palatable, and there
fore increase its value.
The feed-cutter should be in use on
every farm, the corn-shredder is an
excellent thing, but why not put all
of the corn crop in a silo as the best
probable position to get every pound
of value of it.

The plum ~curculio, or the Little
Turk" is a very bad enemy of plums
and apples, says a bulletin from the
Minnesota college. 1t h~ibernates as a
mature beetle, and when the warm
days of spring come it is ready for its
first meal on the swelling buds. Later
on the female attacks the young fruit
almost as soon as formed, poking the
eggs beneath the skin, and marking
around each egg the characteristic
crescent shaped mark.
Arsenate of lead, three pounds to
fifty gallons Of water, applied when
the leaf buds are swelling, again when
the blossoms fall, and again two weeks
later, will hold this insect in check.

in the face of what many authorities
say about the milk becoming tainted,
