GREATLY IMPROVED
PEPPER VARIETIES
New Upright Sweet Salad Is Of
Recent Observation-Disclosures
DuICe Is Largest.

Green peppers are fine. They can
be grown on any good garden soil, but
should not be put out till the ground
is warm. The varieties of peppers,
unlike the egg plant are numerous,
and therefore have been greatly i'm.
proved of late years. The New Up
right Sweet Salad is of recent intro
duction. 1t is bright scarlet in color,
mild and sweet.
Magnum Dulce is by far the largest
pepper in cultivation, and the most
prolific; no other variety gives such
large specimens. 1t is very sweet and
perfectly reliable.
Ruby King is one of the standards
and has for many years been deserv.
ing Of first place among the varieties
of peppers, but in many respects it is
not equal to the above-described kinds
Chinese Giant is very large, but not
as prolific as some of the other large
varieties.

FIND POOR MILK PRODUCERS
Many Fine Appearing Animals Found
to Be Quite Improbable by
Work Of Testing.

The work of testing the dairy herd
is most interesting and produces
many surprises. Many of the finest
appearing cattle will be found to be
the poorest producers, while some Of
the animals thought to be scrubs will
be worthy of a place in the construct
ed herd.
No time should be lost in disposing
Of the unproductive cows. A market
can readily be had for those in good
condition, while the money received
for their sale can be most wisely ex-
pended by purchasing a sire and two
or more dams of dairy breed. These
new animals should not be purchased
without first knowing their record OF
production.

Dairy Profit and Loss.

People are not careful enough about
feeding their stock. They take it for
granted that when they have thrown
an allowance of grain in front Of the
cows their duties are finished. On the
other hand, the COW that is rightly fed
ic carefully studied with each ration.
She is watched to see If she will re-
spond to a little more feed or If she
is getting more than she can use.
These little wastes are what make the
profit and loss in dairying.
