for labor is not confined to the building
industry , where it is most marked , but is

The best way to grow garden vegetables *

Sheep are the best animals to graze
In a sod orchard. They crop the grass
close to the ground , thus obviating
loss of moisture by evaporation
through the blades. They do not tramp
the ground solidly like cattle , and their
droppings are an aid to fertilization be
cause of their extended distribution.
Sheep also keep the orchard clear of
weeds and briars , if turned into it early
enough in the summer.
Experiments show that a cow when
In full flow of milk drinks from 1,500
to 2,000 pounds of water a month , the :
average quantity , determined by test

This fact shows the Importance of un
limited supply of water at all seasons
of the year. In every .100 quarts of )
milk the farmer sells about eighty-
eight quarts of water , and when the
cow cannot procure water at all times
she will fall off In yield.
Pruning should be done as early as

pruning is heavy. It Is not yet too
late to finish this sort of work , but no

Soy Beans in Feeding : Ration.
Prof. J. H. Skiner , of the Purdue
University Experiment Station , says
that with good clover pasture swine
growing was much more economical
than by feeding alone. Experiments
in feeding at the Indiana station show
the cost per 100 pounds of grain with
corn nieal only was $5.01 ; with one-
half corn meal and one-haJf middlings ,
$3.44 ; with two-thirds corn meal and
one-third soy beans , $3.50 ; and five-
sixths corn meal a < nd one-third tank
age , $3.71. The use of soy beans -was
commended to improve the ration , bet
ter returns in grain1 thus being aecur-ed ,
while the beans as a crop in growing
add to the fertility of the soil.
Tomatoes Early and Good.
An Indiana farmer says that gen.
eraJly very early tomatoes are verV
poor quality about one half seeds and
one-half water. Here Is the way , he
says , he gets early tomatoes of good
quality : He takes medium early of
good variety , plants in a pot or old
can that is first lined with a piece of
old muslin or other thin cloth , then
filled with good soil. He plants tt ee
or four seeds , sets upon shelf with
house plants , lets grow until latter part
of May , then lifts out the plant , soil
and all , by the cloth , and plants in the
garden , thinning to one stalk to a can.

Bee Xoiisen.se.
After slumbering more or less quiet
ly for a few years , the roinaritic tale
that the bees drop into each cell of
honey a small drop of poison from
the sting before sealing up the cell ,
using the sting as a trowel to work
the wax , seems to have started anew
its rounds of the public press. To any
who have sent in clippings of the kind ,
possibly wondering what foundation
there may be for the yarn , It may be
said on the authority of a bee expert
that it is all a work ofr imagination , Its
originator apparently seeming to think
it true , but never offering a particle of
proof. Of course , none of the papers
that gave it currency will bother them
selves with a contradiction , and the
only thing that can be done Is patiently
Jt to run Its course and d'ie
out , onfJ to be resurrected seven years
later by" some penny-a-liner who has

Alfalfa Valuable Feeding' Plant.
Probably the best summing up of the
ralue of alfalfa to American farmers Is
n the bulletin on the subject issued by
he Experiment Station of Wisconsin ,
vhich follows : "Alfalfa has practically
he same feeding constituents , pound
'or pound , as good bran , and shouFd be
egarded as an equal to bran when
