PLANTING RULES FOR VEGETA
BLES.
Asparagus Set out two-year-old
plants in trenches six inches deep
and one foot apart as early in the
spring as ground can be worked. The
rcrws should be four feet apart. Fill
in as plants grow.
Beets , 'Carrots ' and Turnips Plant
as soon as ground can be worked , and
later drill in rows two to three feet
apart. Cultivate frequently until
plants begin to head , -then if possible ,
place a heavy mulch of manure be
tween rows.
Celery Make seed-beds in open
ground as soon as it can be worked.
Pulverize the surface very fine , sow
seed in drills eighteen inches apart ,
a nd cover by treading with the feet
only. Transplant when one or two
inenes high. Make plant-bed level.
Set plants for early celery in alter
nate rows , two feet and one foot
apart , and six inches in row. Cutivate
until plants are six or eight inches
high then place heavy mulch of ma
nure between rows , and give plenty
of water. Blanch early celery with
hoards in double rows.
I Cucumbers , Melons and Squashes
I Plant when trees are in full leaf , four
to six feet apart each way , except
equash , which plant ten feet. Make
< < &e , hills especially rich with decayed
manure or compost. Protect plants
with boxes covered with fine netting.
Spinach , Lettuce , Radishes and
Onions Plant in drills twelve to
eighteen inches apart as soon as soil
can be worked , and later for succes
sion. Make the soil very compact
for onions , place a mulch between
rows of lettuce.
Peas Plant as early as soil ca1
be worked and later in trenches six
tp eight inches deep , and as wide at
tjie bottom , with flat surface and mix
Compost with soil. Sow peas thickly ,
* nd cover only one or two inches
deep. As they grow , draw in soil un
til trench is filled. Supp'ort with wire
netting.
Tomatoes , Peppers and Eggplant
Grow plants under glass , or near .a
sunny window in the house. Trans
plant again under cover to get stocky
plants , and to harden out of doors.
Transplant in open ground when trees
are in full leaf. Tomatoes four feQt
apart each way , and peppers and egg
plants twelve inches. Mulch tomatoes
deeply between rows. Support the
| vines , and prune them to let iu the
sun. Indianapolis News.

DAIRY NOTES.
Over-ripe cream , too much churning
and over-working are three general
faults in butter-making.
The feed should be good and free
from aromatic substances. If these
aromatic foods are used they should
he employed according to those meth
ods which will not cause odors or
flavors to appear in the milk.
Close attention to details is neces
sary in order to produce two tubs of
butter exactly alike in quality. A
change in the food will affect the
milk and butter and so will any mis
take in keeping and ripening the
cream and in churning. The food also
flavors the butter , as wild onions have
been obstacles in that respect. Lack
of cleanliness also affects the quality'
of butter.
Eight gallons of water , per day is
the average quantity required for a
cow and the milk given is about 87
per cent , water. In some pastures
there is no water , the cows being sup
plied night and morning , which forces
each cow to drink four gallons at a
time in order to be supplied. As the
cow does not know that she mus :
drink four gallons , she may use lesy
and she will reduce her milk supply
accordingly.
iFeed the cows as regularly as you
milk them.
Beware of big horn and a fleshy
udder on" a milch cow ; they are bal
points.
If you want to make the straw
tack 'benefit the cow , put some of it
under her for bedding.
Let the cow frisk in the open air
once in a while ; continuous stable
life is not good for her.
Hay green in color and sweet in
taste is the only quality that is fitted
for a cow in milk to eat.
Beauty or color does not make the
worth of the cow , but the amount of
milk she yields and its quality meas
ure her value.
Do not kick the cow because you
are angry ; go and kick the barn door
orthe milking stool instead until you
recover your senses. A few .lessons
will break you of the kicking habit.
BARLEY AS FEED FOR HOGS.
In Denmark they look upon barley
a@ the best feed for good bacon. The
grain is well cocked and fed with
roots and an occasional ration of un
cooked barley is given to sharpen the
appetite. The hogs are given plenty
of room for range and exercise and
no attempt is made to fatten them ;
on the contrary the effort is made to
increase the weight by feeding for
tne development of the e portions of
tiie animal which are made into bacon
and they claim from experience that
barley is well adapted for that pur
pose. In this country , after a pig
reaches 75 or 100 pounds almost any-
tjhirig is given 'it in the way of feed.
Some of our packers have been ad-
Tocating keeping hogs until they are
eijtht or fen months old as a help to
produce the firm bacon , but if fed
right a hog may be put on the mar
ket at six months old. rn many in
stances the value of roots has been
underestimated , but 'they ' certainly
help to keep the hogs in good condi
tion and prevent them from becoming
too fat when young. Without roots
it is difficult for them to grow rapid
ly without getting fat. Fed on some
thing bulky they will grow and at the
same time not become very fat. The
Epitomist.
KEEPING BEES 'IX THE ORCHARD.
We have our beehives in the or
chard , as we found that both bees
and fruit trees profited by this con
junction. It was thought that the
bees were the offenders when we saw
punctured and decayed fruit , but bees
cannot and do not mar the skin of
sound fruit. The depredators were
found to be either .birds or insects ,
or some other enemy , that did the
damage first , and then the bees took
their turn at the decayed fruit to
extract the juices. The bees are the
principal agents in carrying pollen
from blossom to blossom , thus adding
largely to the quality of the fruit.
These matters are becoming better
understood and other beekeepers are
realizing the value of keeping their
hives in the orchard. The spraying
of fruit trees should be done before
the blossoms are open , as the poi
sonous liquids used to kill obnoxious
insects can then do no other harm.
The practice of spraying when the
trees were in full bloom not only de
stroys the insects , but the honey bee
as well , and does more harm than
good. Failing an orchard , try a locust
grove to keep the hives in or a buck
wheat patch and fields of white clov
er to feed the bees. American Agri
culturist.
DUCKLINGS MORE PROFITABLE
THAN CHICKS.
The saying often applied to ducks
that "they eat more than they are
worth" Is no doubt a very unjust one.
Any breeder raising the Pekin duck
on a large scale will prove to you by
actual experience that ducklings eat
less in proportion to their growth
than other poutry. Some of our read
ers may be a little surprised at this ,
but upon giving the matter a little
thought they can readily understand
the reason. It is because the duck
lings reach maturity sooner than
chicks and of course the longer it
takes to raise a bird to maturity the
greater the expense , not only of food
but of time and trouble. Experiment
has demonstrated the fact that with
the same quantity of food and care
ducklings in 70 days from the shell
may be maiie with proper handling
to weigh eight to ten pounds per
pair , while chicks in the same length
of time will only weigh from three
to four pounds per pair. Hence this
remark does not count , not applying
to ducklings when properly and in
telligently handled. Western Fruit
Grower.
' BUTTER PRESERVATIVE.
Preserving butter sweet for a con
siderable time is one of the rare
things to do. This method has been
used with great success and is a first
class preservative. It is inexpensive
and easily prepared. Use two parts
of the best common salt , one part
sugar and one part saltpeter , beat
them up together and blend the whole
carefully. Take one ounce of this
mixture , work it well into the mass
and close it up for use. The butter
thus cured should stand from three
"weeks to a month before it is used.
The butter will be found sweet and
nice. M. A. Morehead , N. Webster ,
Ind.
THE IMPROVED FARM.
The man who- has a farm that is
continually improving is generally the
man who makes a study of the ferti
lizing problem. He posts himself on
all matters pertaining to soil improve
ment and knows only too well how the
different leguminous crops will col
lect nitrogen and store it up for him
in the soil ; just what crops will sup
ply the humus , etc. , and practices a
system of rotation that improves
rather than impoverishes his land.
THE DRY BARNYARD.
While the paved barnyard is fine
if one can afford it the expense is
unnecessary if one is willing to use
a little brains * a little muscle and con
siderable gravel. In the first place fill
up the holes and get the yard level ;
then cart gravel until there is enough
to pack the stuff down firmly from
the -center to the edges all around
and have the gutters outside the barn
yard fence.
A Change of Clothing.
Gustave Anderson , a prisoner In
the Workhouse , died of pneumonia
because of the rapid change to the
prison suit from , an enormous
amount of clothing he wore when re
ceived. When toll ? to disrobe he
startled the guards by removing sev
en caps.
Then he added to their amazement
by taking off six coats , two vests ,
five pairs of trousers , four shirts , and
two undershirts. His shoes were
stuffed with straw. Soon after he
donned the Workhouse garb he was
seized with pneumonia , which result
ed in his death. He was sent to the
Workhouse on the charge of vagran
cy , and his home is nat known. Tuc
