PLANT sOILTNG CROPS.

Some farmers arc fortunate enough to
have a quantity of silage on hand. which
will be held over until the midsummer
pasture shortage is felt. Others not SO
fortunate will depend upon peas and oats
planted at intervals of two weeks for
early summer feeding. Millet or Hun
garian planted on land that has horne an
carly crop Of hay are excellent hot wealth.
er crops.
Early corn should be ready by the time
the millet is gone and should last until
the middle of September.
Barley and peas are valuable for a late
crop as they will continue to grow after
light frosts.
The acreage to seed and number Of
paintings depend upon the number of
COWS, amount of feed in natural pasture,
etc.
For hogs and sheep, dwarf Essex rape
has been found excellent. 1t can be plant
ed throughout the season and furnishes
an abundance OF feed at small seeding ex-
pense. Glover and blue grass alternate
we'll with rape, giving the animals a
change and the pastures a chance to re-
cuperate.

oNE-HALF CUP OF MILK.

Halt cup of milk-whole. skinned or
aour-a seemingly trifling matter-hardly
worth the trouble to keep or use.
In many households. quite little milk
is wasted-left uncovered in glasses-re-
garded as useless because the cream has
been SKINNED off-allowed to sour-pour-
ed down the sink or thrown out.
Now II every homethere are 10000 900
of them-should waste on the average
one-half cup daily. It would mean a waste
Of 100000 quarts daily-sl2, 500 900 quarts

TOO MUCH LAKE.
OBy Daniel L. Cady.)

By Daniel L. Cady)
II Lake Champlain were ten times small
I'm sure we'd have ten times more fun;
We'd all 60 boating after supper
And come home rested. every one:
We'd row and sail and scull and paddle,
We'd all get tissued-up and taller
We'd be a different race OF beings
II Lake Champlain were only smaller.
Champlain discovered too much water,
Too many whitecaps. covcs and capes;
Too many headlands where the squall
sprite
Delights to get us into scrapes:
I don't exactly want to blame him
Our first Canadian friend and caller
But even IL it hurt his feelings
wish his lake were ten times smaller.
we'd have a smiling little lakelet.
And not raging inland sea;
'Twould be a milo or two to Plattsburgh.
TO Rouses ,Perfumed Point but three:
'Twould be great fun to pass Stave Is
land
No bigger. much. than half a dollar
Oh! there'd be sport and plenty of it
II Lake Champlain were ten times small
We'd get some joy into our systems.
We'd get our socks and sainthood
tanned:
We'd have a dandy Champlain club house
That wasn't built on railroad land;
Ihcre'd be a splendid show Of sport
clothes,
From wide vale skirt to hemstitched
collar
I'll leave 1t to the Klifa ladies'
II Lake Champain should not be
smaller
The air would fairly bloom with banners,
And Cap'n Rockwell. he'd be there,
And run a little fleet OF JOY boats
And never think Of charging fare;
There'd be . hundred yachts and yacht
ers
Where nov there's one old yawl and
yawler-
tell you what. we'd all be different
II Lake Chanplain were only smaller.
There'd be aquatic Tits and Journeys,
The kind they have up near Lachine;
There'd be a shell race every Thursday
And every June a water Queen;
We'd meet. we'd laugh. we'd firt. we'd
chatter.
/ We'd all grow laxative and taller
| II seems to me Professor Perkins
Might try and have the Lake made
smaller.
