so that they will not wilt. Az soon
as they begin to root they may be
set in the sun, and when they are
well-rooted they should be lifted and
placed in small pots in a good, rich
soil. To have winter bloom all the
buds that form during the fall
months must be picked off and the
top of the plant picked out to en-
courage it to branch out. A plant
that is pruned back pretty severely
will be much more shapely, and give
many more blossoms than one that
is left to grow tall and spindline
and with few branches

used in making the breed.
After foaling, give the mare COM
plete rest for at least two weeks;
three weeks would be better. When
she is again put into harness let the
first few days be light work, and the
day of short duration. Remember
that she will be weak for month
or more, and not be at her full
strength again till in the fall after
the foal has been weaned and she
has had time to regain normal flesh
and vitality.
Poultry houses must be built with
view of providing plenty of fresh
air and sunshine for the birds, and
the houses must be kept absolutely
clean. While houses have been men
toned first, the ground around the
buildings is perhaps more often to
blame for troubles, both with the
chicks and with adult fowls. In
fact. it is being recognized more and
more that the condition of the soil
can very largely make or mar sue
cess in poultry raising.
Dairy cows, like chickens and other
good animals, owe their high pro-
ducing power to selecting and breed
ing as well as to good feeding and
good care The calf from the good
COW will make poor animal. Only
the calves from real good producing
dairy cows should be kept for breed
ing purposes and milk production,
If the best are always kept and bred,
and calves from poor cows used for
some other purpose a better milk
producing herd will result.
In packing apples for market first
assert them, so that they will run
uniform in size and quality. Pack
in sound, clean barrels-barrels with
flat hoops preferred. Turn the upper
head down, take out the lower head
and place a large sheet of white pa
per next the head, then pack the
first layer of apples with the stem
ends upon the head. Pack the sec
ond tier, but reverse the apples; then
fill the barrels without bruising the
fruit. Shake down thoroughly, and
fill so full that the head must be
pressed in with lever or barrel
press.
The object of fences is not to keep
other peoples stock out. but to keep
your own in. This implies that you
| have animals to keep in. More than
! half the farmers of this country dc
not keep half the number of animals
( their farms can carry economically

Mangels. turnips and cabbages are

mangels are particularly good, ana
often may be obtained at very low
price.
If a number of unused eabbages
happen to he on hand, they can be
kept by spreading them out on the

Some potatoes may be put aside

Do not hurry the cows or encourage

Yes. If the trunks are full of old
bark it certainly is desirable to
scrape it off, because under it harbor
the larvae of many insects, some of
which may be destroyed in the scrap
ing, others exposed so that birds may
get them. and they also may be hiding
places for fungi. 1t may be done al
any time in the winter or early spring.

Sweet Glover as Substitute for Alfalfa.
What is your opinion of sweet clo-
yer as q substitute for alfalfa?
Summit. NJ. D. o.
PROFESSIONALLY there is very much
more value in sweet clover than has
been supposed. 1t will by no means
take the place of alfalfa, but because
it grows so readily and very often
on poor soils its further culture is to
be recommended. 1t should be cut
before the heads appear, when it has
a high food value and is very much
relished by stock. Left as it usu-
ally is, until the blossoms are we'll
out, the stalk is hard and woody and
nothing cares to eat it.

sawdust Boxes for Testing Seed Corn.

Sawdust Boxes for Testing Seed Corn.
How are sawdust boxes prepared
for testing seed corn? B. S.
Verona
Sawdust is used in testing seed
corn simply because it is good,
clean, lightweight absorbent that
readily holds water. Take box
four inches deep, fill with sawdust
to one and one-half inches from the
top: saturate this sawdust with
water and spread white cloth over
the top. Lay on this cloth the
kernals of corn you wish to test,
cover with heavy pad of cloth and
over this place a strip of oilcloth.
Then put the box where 1t will have
a temperature of from 20 to so de-
grees, and at the end of five or six
days you should be able to roll back
the cloth pad covering and count
the kernals which have terminated
without disturbing them. 1t should
be remembered that corn ought to
terminate vigorously, and that
feeble termination under these con-
ditions is likely to mean no germi-
nation at all, under the unfavorable
conditions of the field. 1t is gen
orally best to take 100 or 200 kernals
from a thoroughly mixed bag of
corn for the termination test. II
you wish to do a first class Job, YOU
may rule off the cloth in little
squares about one inch each way
and then plant five of these kernals
from each way. There is nothing in
