WORK AROUND FARM
DURING THE SPRING
Good Plan to Clip Work Horses
Clean Seed Before Planting
Gull Poultry Flock.

Mighty good plan to clip the horses
before the spring work begins-but
not too soon.
Do not rush the work in the gardens.
Time will be saved by waiting until
the ground gets warm, no matter what
the date may be.
Are you going to SOW seed without
cleaning it, and then raise a big crop
of weeds? Buy, beg or borrow a fan
ming mill.
Never buy seed from a dealer in a
far-away city, unless he is willing to
guarantee that it is pure. If he will
not guarantee his seed, be sure it is
wrong.
Getting seed corn from the crib in
the same old, haphazard way this
spring? Or, perhaps you are paying
fancy prices to dealers rather than
save our own seed? Either way is
bad business.
Do not let the trees from the nursery
lie in the wind a single hour without
covering with a wet gunny sack or
damp earth. The latter is better.
Best way is to have your nursery
orders in long before planting time,
with instructions to ship when you are
ready to receive them, and not a day
before.
Get rid of all the f~uzzy-wuzzy old
hens and ROSTERS. Remember that
any hen over two years old is not
worth her keep.
1t is a pity to put sitting hens, or
hens with chicks, into old, louse-rid-
den houses, when a bit of burning sui
phur, a spraying with kerosene and
soap, or a whitewashing will make the
premises sweet and clean. Going to
try it?
Rake every bit of rubbish from the
orchard, leaving not a thing under
which a bug may hide to hatch out
trouble later. Suppose it does take a
few hours to do it-how can we EN-.
ploy the time to better advantage?
If the garden is plowed too early it
will be lumpy, and things vegetable
will not do well on Jumps. Harrow and
disk, and then again, and once more
until the ground to the depth Of six
inches is fine and fluffy.

(By M. CoVERDELL.)

Most farmers seem to breed the
COW with no concern as to her re-
sourcefulness OF enduring qualities.
She is bred at an early age; bred
again just as soon as she will come in
heat after her first calving; held right
to her milk as nearly as possible to
the next calving time, and handled
thus until she is worn out, and no
longer useful.
With such management, her I'M
born calf will have much of its susie
nance taken from it on account of the
nourishment going toward keeping up
the cow, which results in a weakened
offspring, and this influence gradually
yields a most de%teriorating effect on
the grade of the herd in general, since
each succeeding calf will be still more
undesirable than the one before it.
We have seen cows whose nature
rebelled against such treatment, and
invariably these animals positively re-
fused to come in sufficient heat to be
gotten with calf. This shows, con-
clusively, that the COW requires and

WHITE GRUB A MOST
TANTALIZING PEST
No Way of Preventing Its Depre-
dations Other Than to ThWart
Its Propagation.
(By M. N.

10y WI. IN. EDGEfG1ON.)
In connection with the work Of grow
ing strawberries the white grub is a
most tantalizing opposing force. Be-
cause of the manner in which it works
there is no way of preventing it's dep
relations, other than by preventing it's
propagation.
Land in sod is the favorite place of
these grubs, hence it is good policy to
fallow such land two seasons prior to
setting to strawberries. This is the
only way to clean them out effectually.
AS it is not good for land to lie idle
and bare for such a length of time, it
is best to grow some sort of hoed crop.
Corn is preferable to potatoes, because
the grub seems to thrive on a potato
diet, feeding as it does on the tubers.
The practice of growing corn after
sod and following with peas is a good
me-. Thorough cultivation Of the corn
row kills the grass roots, and the pea
crop enriches the soil, both in humus
and plant food.
But ven when all due precautions
have been taken, the grub often re-
mains, although in greatly reduced
numbers. Its presence may be detect
ed by the behavior of the plant at
tackled. When a plant fails to keep
up with its fellows in growth and
vigor n may be sure there is trouble
somewhere, and many times one of
these grubs will be found at the base
Of the plant, feeding on its roots.
AS this is the only portion of the
plant attacked by the grub the plants
cannot be protected by the use of poi
sons. 1t is not often that the plant
attacked can be saved, but the killing
of the grub will save other plants, as a
grub goes from one plant to another,
destroying a dozen OF more if un-
checked.

DAIRY cow NEEDS REST FROM HER LABoRs

deserves a short period of rest from
her labors every season. 9
We aim to give the COW about
three or four mooths' rest out of ev-
cry season, feeding and caring for
her, with a view m intensive dairying
the remainder of the year. This not
only enables the COW to do her best
while being MIXED, but yields us
greater returns for the time and labor
expended in handling her, and her
dairy products.
OF course the same rule will not ap-
ply to each individual member of the
herd, as some can be dried UP with
very little effort, while some will milk
right up to the time they drop their
calf.
In either ease we discontinue feed
ing those rations which are conducive
to a profuse milk flow, for from two
to four months before calving time,
and SO far, We have always been sue
cessful in drying up any COW in time
to allow her a good rest before it was
necessary to begin milking her again.
Regularity in feeding is important.

WASHINGTON, March 18.-That any attempt on the part of Japan to dominate China will be regarded as an ac. unfriendly to the United States is the kernel of an unofficial note dis patched by this government to the government of the mikado today by the state department. The note came as the immediate result of an appeal from China to this country to urge the Japanese government to abandon it's demands for territorial expansion at the expense of China. The note from the state department clearly indicates that the Washington government will regard the attempt to dominate the other Oriental nation as a matter that will call for interference. 1t is so de termined in its wording that the Unit ed States administration apparently believes that Japan is about to take the opportunity offered by the em- broglio of the powers to secure con trol of China's commercial activities.

This is explained by the post office as due to the fact that magazines and such publications are forwarded to news dealers for sale and they are regarded as merchandise by the postal authorities and must give way to the books, magazines etc. that are addressed to individuals.
