This plan takes away much of the care usually experienced in set ting hens lu spring. Farm and Home. Vlneaar from Mitmiicr Apples. If there were only a larger proportion of sweet in summer apples, they would be much the best for making luto vine gar, as the warm weather causes vio lent fermentation, which soon gets into the vinegar stage. Uut it is found that though the fernieiitatalon Is rapid be cause of the temperature, the vinegar resulting therefrom is thin and poor. There Is a decided advantage in adding some sugar after the cider has passed the alcoholic stage of fermentation. It will Increase the sourness of the vine gar, while there will still be the same apple aroma and flavor which makes apple elder vinegar the liest that can be produced from anything. The fall ap ples, even those called "sour," have more sweetness In them than have the riKTST HTrcet wnmmcr apples. The Rus set apple makes a very rich cider, but it does not ripen until all the warm weather has passed, so It keeps In the alcoholic stage all winter, and Is very apt during that time t,o be drank by cider-thirsty people. The advantage of making cider from summer npples Is that hot weather brings It so soon to the vinegar stage that comparatively little of it will be drank as cider, AnchorInK n Corner. Where wire fencing is used, whether woveu wire or straight strands, it Is of great Importance to have the corner or end posts firm and unyielding. A good way to accomplish this is shown in lire cut. A broad stick of wood Is sunk in the ground and a stout piece of galvan ized Iron wire Is tied firmly about it ami stretched tightly to the upper end of AN ANCUOUF.n roT. the post, as shown, a corner post will need two wires similarly anchored. Orange Judd Farmer. ' Torrlna hheep's Noses. In summer sheep are apt to be trou bled by the fly which deposits eggs In their noses, and afterwurdu hatches the maggot which burrows In their heads and often proves fatal. Sheep are much excited when they find this fly, run ning with their nose close to the ground and rubbing It Into any loose soil they may find. Tarring the nose Is the liest preventive and alwnytt effective if tak en In time. It Is easily done by leaving tnr In the field and throwing a handful of salt over It. In their eagerness to get the salt, the sheep will thoroughly coat their noses with tnr. It should lie renewed so long ns warm weather lasts, for the tar will gradually went off and cense to lie n protection. Colrl Watrr for Hose Flairs. Hose slugs nre very troublesome, es peclnlly on sandy soil, where they will Increase faster than they can be killed off. It Is not so generally known ns It should be that cold water thrown with n force pump against rose bushes will entirely destroy the slugs and do tin roses no hnrm. Water that Is heated t 130 degrees or 1 10 degrees will also kill not only rose slugs but most kinds of Insect pests. May Weed In Fields. May weed la not a kind of weed that seriously troubles the careful farmer It mainly comes In on bard, trodden! places by road sides, where If anything) else starta to grow It Is crushed out The May weed, not being so easily! killed, survives. May weed can nod thrive where there Is an undisturbed i r V aaa.fajMr? K"f ,VJI"- I and thrifty growth of clover, but let the clover 1m' tra milled in the mire by stock, and the .May weed will be ready . to grow and take the vacant place. It is most often seen, aside from road- ; sides, at the entrance to pasture lots, where clover and the grasses are tram pled to death by stock. ' nsfar Corn. To grow large ears, well filled out, the soil must be deep, mellow and heav ily fertilized. The best growers spread one inch of rotted manure in the fur row, and when the corn Is six inches In height sow 000 pounds of phosphate to the acre and cultivate it in. Liquid manure Is an excellent stimulant. It is run between the rows at the rate of fifty barrels to the acre. Night soil is another valuable manure for this crop; twelve two-horse loads Is the right (juantlty to spread broadcast before planting. Tlie manure and soil should be well mixed together. Sweet corn may be planted all through July and up to the loth of August. For market or for family use, plant every fifteen days. Tlie ground should be deeply plowed oud nicely pulverized. Cracked Wheat for Young Chickn. Some cracked wheat should be given to chicks even before they are a week old. It Is the best exercise their di gestive organs can have. Whole wheat ( will be eaten when the chicks are ten ; (lays or two weeks old, and should al ways form a part of their ration. It is especially valuable to make them feather quickly, the grain containing just the kind of material necessary for feather production. Where wheat is largely grown, the fowls find enough scattered grains about barns or stacks so that young chicks hatched in mid summer will become full feathered be- fore winter, and will make early spring layers. A Crrtnb-rrv Rnke. Our Illustration shows a convenient, home-made cranberry rake that will greatly facilitate the picking of the-e j berries, If they are at all thick upon the ground. The rake has tight side pieces, hown by the dotted lines, and tlie teeth are near enough together so that ' cranberries cannot drop through. The rake Is taken in the hand in much the jxisition shown In the sketch. The teeth are gently brought along beneath the berries and then lifted, pulling the cranberries from the vines. The handle Is of course inclined backward as it Is lifted to keep the berries from running out over the front of the teeth. These latter can be light Iron rods bent into shape by a blacksmith and sharpened. The back and handle should be of hard wood to hold the teeth firmly. Ameri can Agriculturist. Tnrnin Flnvnrs In Milk. When cows accidentally get into a turnip patch, or other vegetables that Impart a bad flavor to the milk. It can be made ns good as ever for cream and butter making If It Is heated to f tem perature of 110 degrees. This Is best done by placing the vessel in water which Is quickly brought to a slightly higher temperature. All the odor pusses ofT at this temperature, as it Is very volatile. In cooling, the cream will rise to the surface. It also makes the but ter come more quickly than from milk not heated. Agricultural Notes. Insure your buildings against cy clones. Drainage will greatly increase the value of wet ground. Hoots cannot penetrate a subsoil that Is as hard as a stone. The silo will enable the farmer to keep more cows profitably. In sections where cyclones are likely, a storm cave shows wisdom. Spare the harrow In the early stages of corn growth and spoil the crop. ' The hired man should be a gentleman among the children In the house. In sections outside the corn belt corn can often lie profitably grown for 'the dlo. ' Hay caps are a good Investment. They will In a wet season pay for themselves very quickly. When the surface lwikes after a rnln, a light harrow should be used, whether the crop Is up or not. Hailstorm are likely anywhere, and Insurance against them Is as necessary ii Insurance against lire. Klghty acres Intensively cultivated an better than 100 acres under the too often loose system of fnrmlug. Tor a root that is such unquestion able value to the hog, the artichoke gets more hard knocks than It deserves. A Nebraska man protects his corn from gophers by scattering corn around the field for the gophers to feed upon. Divide up the farm among the grown boys. If It Is large enough to make sev eral reasonably sized farms, and en courage each to get a home of his own. Do you allow smoking In the barn? If you do, Increase your Insurance. Tluit may not be exactly honest, but when a man tries to bum his barn he ma tier of honesty will not probabl Wurrj- him. Things to HeiiiembfT About Mc cplrig.
