All this said, not to discourage the
growing of the farm orchard, but
merely to point out some things nee
essary to make it a success; and to
show by contrast how easy it is for
the farmer to have liberal supply of
the small fruits.
1t is poor economy for farmers to
try to get on without home orchard,
but it is much worse for them to try
to get on without berries and other
bush fruits and gra es. All berries
are easily grown. The strawberry can
be planted one year and be in full
bearing the next. Most of the others
need only two years in which to bear
abundantly. Except in certain locali-
ties more of them are seriously at

damage in the aggregate, but all of

Sweet corn is a very profitable
crop. One reason for this is because
it is so easily handled.
Don't wait until June to set your
plants. Do it just as soon as you can

The best garden seed is not al.
ways found in the packages on which
are found the prettiest pictures.
Thick neck onions are usually seen
during such seasons as have wet
weather at the usual time of ripening.
On small scale, vegetable seeds
may be started in small boxes or
flats, placed under the kitchen stove.
One of the secrets Of successful
gardening is the thorough prepare
ton Of the seed bed and its cultiva-
ton.
Fill in about the houses and barn
wherever there are low, wet places.
No matter what the weather, go dry
shod.

Keep at least the home place free from

While poison ivy is not fatal in its
effects and many people are immune
from its attacks, it causes much un-
necessary suffering and it often af-
fects and impairs the health.
Start a crusade against the pest
among your neighbors and work
against the common enemy. Try to
pass laws to authorize road supervi-
sors and commissioners to see that
their districts are kept clear Of it.
Dig or plow it up to the smallest
root and branch, for it is so tenacious

the ground has been known to take
root.
If every root cannot be dug touch
the broken end with crude oil or some
strong acid. A load of fresh manure

HABIT OF EXCHANGING EGGS
Exercise Of Little Care In Gathering
and Selecting viii Net Advance
Over Common Price.

There is no satisfaction and but
very little money in exchanging eggs
for groceries or grain. By being care
full in gathering eggs, SO that they
won't become chilled in winter and
SO the hens won't sit on them over
night and using little care in sizing
and selecting, quite an advance over
the common prices may be obtained.
When possible, sell your eggs direct
to the consumer. If not possible, get
a market in your nearest city with
some grocer who deals In strictly
fancy groceries and provisions. Agree
to furnish him only strictly fresh
eggs, and then, for your own sake,
live up to the agreement. Carefully
clean all the eggs; don't send small,
misshapen or large ones. Stamp each
egg with rubber stamp. using your
initials or the name of your farm, and
in short time you will have created
demand for your eggs, and when
you have created such demand your
eggs will bring the highest prices,
considerably more than your store
keeper would pay.
Several neighbors should send their
eggs together, paying a cent or two
per dozen to one of their number for
doing the business, and in this way
all would gain little.

SOWING SEEDS TOO DEEPLY
Smaller Vegetables and Flowers Can
Hardly Be Covered Too Lightly
With the Soil.

More seeds are probably killed by
sowing or covering too deeply than
too lightly.
1t is no uncommon thing to find
small seeds covered with quarter
or over half an inch of soil.
Thousands so deeply sown perish,
germs either never come to life at all
or are quite unequal to coping With
such weight of covering earth.
Only the larger seeds of vegetables
should be sown from a quarter to one
inch in depth.
Peas, beans and such like seeds may
go underground two or three inches
but the smaller vegetables and flower
seeds can hardly be covered too light
ly, provided they are covered.
1t should always be borne in mind
that deep sowing ruins more seeds
than any other fault or mistake.

Practically all beginners are honest

rate of eight tons per acre in Ave
year rotation of corn, oats, wheat, clo-

Hay Should Not sunburn,

The feeding value, as well as the
market value, and palatability of hay
is lowered by being sunburned. The
feeding value is probably hurt most by
the loss of leaves. Sunburned clover
and alfalfa lose large part of the
leaves in handling, and this is the
best part of the crop.
When the sun is shining very bright
ly the alfalfa or grass should not be
left in the swath long. A large part
Of the curing should be done In the
windrow and the cock. Most of the
hay is then shaded and so the damag-
ing effect Of intense sunshine is re-
duced to the exposed portion. And a
stock cover will still further lessen
the injury from the sun as we'll as
from rain.
