June

There's a laugh in the south wind, a CLEAN
on the river,
And the young emerald verdure in 10y
seems TO CULVER;
While heecy clouds speeding DER bright
turquoise sky
Their light shadows cast on the hills as
they fly
There's a smile in the zephyrs which watt
o'er the lea,
The perfumes Of wild flowers that nod in
And drink in the sunbeams which, generous
with gold,
Their fairy-like tresses in rapture enfold.
There's a flash in the elm where the oriols
sings
While his mate from the bough-end her
soft cradle swings,
And the gay songsters all from meadows
and trees
Lift their carols of Joy on the soft balmy
breeze.
In the warm sunny noontime the bumble-
bees drone
In the gardens where peonies and roses
are blown.
The bush of syringa its filmy snow
show'rs
And the spirit Of June's in the sun-deluged
hours H. Pennington Halle.

KEEP LAND ATTRACTIVE.
Advice to Market Gardener That 10
Good For All Farmers.

Good For All Farmers.
Every market gardener owes it to
himself and his family to have his
farm, buildings and land in an attrac-
tive condition, says Albert e. Wilkin-
son In the American Agriculturist.
Odds and ends which have accumulat-
ed during the season need to be stored
away or destroyed. Weeds and other
rubbish in the fields should be plowed
under. There is perhaps no one point
which will aid the sale of products as
much as a clean, neat place, especially
where purchasers visit the farm.
An attractive place further adver-
tises the owner as systematic, up to
date, thorough business man. Person
al pride is another feature which
should not be laid aside. Many in
sects and disease germs live over from
years to year in weeds, sticks and rub
bish. Even the tops of unused vege-
tables may hibernate pests. This is
only another plea for cleaning up the
farm in the fall. Often farmers com
plain that neighbors are careless about
cutting weeds. thus spreading seed for
another crop. If few leading farm
ers in each community practiced early
cutting Of weeds the idea would spread
quickly. Examples are guideposts.

come of laying age while the weather
is still mild enough to stimulate egg
production. The pullet that does not
start to laying by December is likely
to be caught by cold weather, which
retards rather than stimulates the lay
ing process. In a great many instances
such a bird will not begin laying until
the first warm days Of February.
Aside from the fact that the hen that
starts to laying early has the best
chance of making good record
through the coolest season early in the
year, 1t is the November and December
egg that brings the highest price ON the
market because of the scarcity at that
season. The increased supply of eggs
after January is due to the fact that
most of the yearling hens are idle up
to the end of the year, while those two
years old or older usually begin even
later. This tendency toward late
start on the part Of the older birds is
due, generally speaking, to a late re-
covery after the melting season. This,
in fact. is one of the prime reasons why
pullets are preferred as winter layers,
since they are affected only slightly,
II at all, by the little melting they IN
