Partially empty stomachs mako iab tie uncomfortable nnd ns a result they spend their energy In Idle movement At no time In tho llfo of nn animal Is thu influence of liberal or scant feeding so great as when an animal is young. Tho best tlmo to determlno what, shall bo done with a brood sow is when, sho has and suckles her second Utter. If the cattle nro to be marketed rca Bonnbly early in tho fall It Is best to commence feeding grain in good season. An important item in selecting a good brood sow Is her milk producing" powers. This is necessary if sho raises good- pigs. Plenty of skim milk is ono of thwbest things to keep youug pigs growing through tho summer. Feed it liber ally. Tho object in feeding pigs that are to bo marketed is to push them 'from tho start, so us to maintain a steady growth. A sow that will bring an nvcrngo ol. eight pigs In a litter twice a year is doing moro than average work und Is valuable.

Mulching newly set trees during hot, dry weather often saves them fronv dying. During the summer Is a good timo to preparo tho soil for fall planting of tho orchard. Soft feed can in many cases bo fed daily to tho poultry that aro confined ia closo quarters during tho summer. At this timo particular enro must bo jA taken not to crowd tho poultry, cspc-jfjA eially thu small ones, In closo quarters. Bl Supplying tho poultry with plenty of charcoal Is ono of tho best preventives of disease, nnd especially so in bummer. Whllo chickens thrive best in small numbers or Hocks, ducks seem to do better when u larga nunbor nro kept together. Cutting down and burning Is the only safe, sure remedy for rust on raspberry .' canes; taglu as soon as it makes' its appearance. Ono advnntago with gecso is that they aro hardy, easily raised and requlro less, caro nnd expensive food than any other elnss of fowls. Keep down tho raspberry canes; four or flvo good canes to every four feet of row will give a bettor quality of fruit than if thicker. It is quite un Item to do clean worlc in harvest; a llttlo worlc every day and at every hauling will mean consider able less In tho end.

Lot any farmer resolve, and faithfully keep hls resolutlon, to permit no weed to grow longer than ono week, for ono season, nnd tho next years tho labor of destroy ing what aro loft will become less and less ever after. Hut if a farm is neg lected for a few years ono might as woll forbear to sow or plant and do nothlng but ldll tho weeds a whole year, and tho labor would bo well spent. Ilutono furraer cannot destroy all tho weeds. His neighbors should do likewise, nud. together they may materially lessen tho troublo of keeping tho pests down. Hotc.
