DOUBLE USE OF HoreEps.

I always make it practice to try to have the pits for the hotbeds dug before the ground freezes. The pits can then be rcofed with refuse 1um- Der, poles, or brush, and a covering of straw or corn stover placed over all to bar out fros. and snow. Then in February or March, it Is an easy job to fill the pits with manure and place the frames and sash in position. The frames can be constructed and the sash got ready under cover during leisure winter days.
 These same hotbed pits, I fnI make excellent storage for cabbage, celery, and other vegetables and even for apples and tomatoes, provided frst-class drainage is arranged for the pits. If you have never made use of hotbeds, try che or more as an ex- Leriment and enjoy early green stuff a month or more before the garden ing season opens.
 The help of having an abundance of early plants for the garden that can be started and rooted in the hot beds is alone worth the trouble of pre- raring for the hotbeds.-S. Thorne in Farm and F1reside.

ALFALFA FOR SHEEP.

Alfalfa, if carefully fed and pas tured, is one of the best roughages for sheep. The rapid increase in the pro- auction of alfalfa in the United States during recent years has resulted in a more careful study of its possibih- ties as a food for all classes of live stock Formerly it was used primar- ly as cattle feed, but now 1t is used as a feed for hcrses, swine, and sheep.
 When alfalfa Is pastured, great care should be taken to prevent bloat. If the alfalfa has become woody or is mixed with other grasses the danger is somewhat lessened. Before turning the sheep or alfalfa they should be filled up on hay, fodder. or other roughage, and turn out only when the alfalfa Is free from moisture of any kind.
 Sheep should never be allowed to first day. The length of time should until the sheep are accustomed to the feed. Flockmasters have found that 1t is never safe to give sheep free ac- cess to an alfalfa pasture.
 The amount of alfalfa fed will aI- ways depend or: the price and the amount available. When it is chean and plentiful and other roughages are scarce, alfalfa could compose the er = tire ration of the flock. On the other hand, when hay is scarce and high in price, the ration could be made up of straw, fodder and like roughages.
 In experimental trials, averaging 100 days each, alfalfa was compared to timothy and prairie hay. The lots fdl alfalfa made greater gains and re- quired less feed per 100 pounds than did those fed prairie and timothy hay

CLEARING THE PASTURE.
Time to Remove Brush In Order to
 -N Give Cows Better Chance.

Sheep and goats can live on brush and shrubs. A good dairy cow can not. Only moss and Iichens can live On stones., Good cows and good pas ture is a combination difficult to beat. Now is the time to think of removing tke brush from the pasture lot, gath erIng in piles and burning it. With tie high price of coal some of the larger stuff can be trimmed out and used in the house stove.
 In clearing UP that stone pile or those loose stones in the pasture, don't haul them to some out of the way cos ner on the farm, but pile along toe read ready for crushing when the new town road is built. A hundred rods or a half mile to the road is no farther tban a hundred rods or half mile to, some rarely visited back lot and there is the double advantage of Cheapening the cost of road eonstruc- ton and offering an inducement, how ever slight, for better roads in that neighborhood.
 Then with the land cleared and room for grass to grow, use lime e 900 lbs.) and possibly a little acid phosphate GOO to 200 lbs.) and make the poor grass good and the Nlod grass better. Such -treatm will last five or six years.
 Lastly, with less brush and stones, and more grass do rot overgraze As Governor Hoard has said, If you have pasture enough for ten cows keep twenty. You will get almost as much milk and have more cows."- M. F. Abel1, Connecticut Agricultural CoIlepe

FALL FLOWN c.
Time to Get Ready for Next Years
 Seeding.


 More attention should be given to the practice of fall blowing as d means of developing a system of farming for more efficient use of man and horse labor as well as other natural advantage winch such a practice Of fers. Man labor constitutes one of the hardest problems encountered on the average farm and the situation seems to be growing more serious each year. For this reason farmers should begin new to get ready for next years seeding in order to help relieve the labor shortage which seems evident to come.
 Horse labo" costs fully much as ptan labor because of the large amount of time that horses do not work. Fall blowing helps to keep the horses busy and so reduce the cost. Farmers who practice fall blowing not only have a better distribution of labor but are able to fit the ground earlier in the spring which is a ma terial advantage considering the late ness of the past planting season. With much of the work of blowing out of the way the extra labor required dur ing certain critical seasons will be re- ouced. Frosts on the late plowed fields increases the fertility.
 Fall blowing often secures a better crop. Another advantage of break ing up the soil in the late fall is that it exposes to the wintering insects to their natural enemies and to the un- favorable weather which will greatly reduce their numbers.-B. w.

with the hogs more or less. Pneu- monia may be prevented by keeping the hogs from taking cold.
 Hogs are kept for years on the same lct-generation after generarion-un- ii, the soil becomes saturated with the different parasites and their eggs. With such surroundings a hog Is cer- tain to be affected. The animals loo.. scrawny, and cholera is blamed for their condition.
 Sanitation is the foundation of sue ceesful hog-rafsing. A hog tot should te plowed frequently, and thoroughly disinfected. livery two or three years the lot should be changed to a new location. A hog is not dirty in it's ha bits. If given half a chance 1t will keep clean.
 One thing few persons know about hog: it requires twice the breath ing space for it's weight as a horse or cow. hog can stand only hsN the exposure. It's fat may seem like a blanket, but the blood is the heat of sil animals. A hog gets chilled easily because of the poor surface circuIa- ton. contracts pneumonia, dies, and cholera is credited with another vic- tim.
 A simple remedy for worms is a slaked lime, mixed about equal parts. T. will not do the hogs any injury if allowed to eat all they wish. :. This mixture will also help to tone the system.

DANGER oE GARDEN REFUSE.
Should Not Be Allowed to Rot or
 Ground Nor Edges of Garden.

One of the worst sources of disease and insect trouble is the refuse which eccumulates around the edges of gar de ms. A great many of our sucking in- sects, such as thrips and sucking beetles of all types winter in the grass and weed hedges which are bound to occur on the edges of the garden. Worse than this is the source of in- lection caused by allowing disease in- fected cabbage, roots, celery tops as- paragus tops, potato and beet tops etc, to be plowed under in the fall or left on the garden.
 Expert opinion more and more comes to the belief that humus in the soil can be kept up by better methods than that of utilizing the garden re- fuse where it was growing. All such refuse should be raked off from the garden and either burned or put where it will not be source of in- lection. The humus content of the soil can be kept up by using cover crops, and will be done more scienti- fically with less danger to o~next years crops. r ,se..
 A very common and easy way of adding humus to the soil during Oc- tober is to take all the leaves from the lawn and dump them on the gar den. Shade tree leaves have abso- lutely no method of injuring the soil and they very seldom carry infections which will be harmful to garden prod ucts the next year. Pine needles are ed as a source of humus for the sarden. The odor of burning leaves is all right in the city where there is

STORING POTATOES IN LIME,

Many people are storing potatoes this year who have never stored po- tatoes in any quantity before. As a result there is much uncertainty on the proposition and many questions arising. One of these is whether or not air slaclSe5 lime should be useH either to sprinkle. over the potatoes or to pack them in
 There is no need for using lime at all. Potatoes properly stored will or dinarily keep and if for any reason they tend to spoil the air slacked lime will not prevent the loss.
 Other people have asked whether or not there is any special wood that should be used to make the bins seem ing to have the idea that certain wood will cause unpleasant f1avors. No fears need be entertained how ever. Any wood that is available may be used without fear of contam- mating the potatoes.
 The essentials for potato storage are ventilation, darkness, and tenn perature between 34 and 50 degrees.

USE CHEAPER FEEDS SAVE GRAIN.

The first effect of high-priced grain is to decrease interest in livestock. The competition of two dollar corn and two dollar wheat is driving many a dairy farmer to sacrifice his herd and many a stock man to sell his corn instead of feeding it on the farm.
 Cattle must not be allowed to com pete with man for the grain crops. America needs catt1e-not to con- sume the. grain on the farm, but to cenver5 grain refuse and roughage into meat and milk
 The United States Department of Agriculture says: Tt is time to quit fthove1ing grain indiscrimfnately into livestock Feeding grain to meat an- irnals with a lavish hand is responsi- ble for one of the greatest feed loss es on the farms of this country. Hay. fodder, silage. and pasture are the cheapest feeds and will carry animals along with a minimum of grain"
 More extensive use of roughage in the cattle ration will, release immense quantities of grain for human con and still maintain the cattle propulation Of the country.

 Orchard Refuse.
 Some of our Connecticut valley or chardists are complaining because the apple maggotS are getting worse In their orchards. Relpntly one orchard ist stated that each year different variety of his apples had become in fccted with the apple maggot such that now he believes he might as well cut down his orchard as try to go further in the business. The control Of the apple maggot is not yet Tn hand by anyone. It cannot be irradi- extent Most of the complaints re- garding the spread of apple maggots have come from people who utilized their small apples. cider apples and simply have left them under the trees.
 There is no better way to encourage the prosperity of these pests than to allow the infested aples to remain on the ground. Each orchard should have a pit where all pruning refuse is dumped, as we'll as brush that has accumulated and dried during the summer months. All the cull apples from the very smallest drop the size Of a strawberry to the very largest King should be dumped over the bank and burned. Many times these apples which are harboring the apple mag got are fed to the hens and hogs. and though a great portion of them is eaten, likewise a large portion is left in the manure and this in turn is carried out to the orchard and makes a perfect home for the dormant stages of this insect. This treatment is not @ panacea for insect evils. but is a step which is absolutely essential if one wishes to make progress toward per feet apples.

 p:owing or spadjEg should be done at least a foot deep before the ground fl eezes this fall. The soil cannot be n ade too rich to grow the best aspar- agus so do not be afraid to spread a very heavy GOV ering of good stalfa manure all over the plot early in the winter. As soon as the soil: is it to cultivate next spring, work in the manure thoroughly and deeply.
 For growing green asparagus shoots, which are now being generally pre- ferred set strong one-year-old plants of some good variety like Palmetto feet apart. Do every part of the work well, give clean culture, and continue to fertilize heavily, for good stand of asparagus means eight to ten annual crops without reset ting. Cut only very lightly the year after setting; the second year. moder- ately: then full cuttings in following years. No garden can now be con sidered complete without a thrifty supply of asparagus.

This increase will un- doubtedIy be granted. as it is fair to the railroads, in view of their in CT eased operating expenses.
