After all the market 'is ' more import-
ant than the soil. If an ideal soil
( sandy loam ) for gardening purposes
is far remote from a good market : , it
Is difficult to be financially successful.
If , on the other hand , the soil is quite
unfavorable , but near a good market .
and available supply of manure , it is
comparatively easy to make a finan
cial success of market gardening. It
is Important , however , to select soils
which are naturally loose and friable
if a mixed line of gardening is to be
followed
In preparing beds for flowers It
should be remembered that most flow-
ers which produce a yellow bloom .
should not have much organic mat-
ter in the soil. Red or purple flowers
will do best on a soil with a reason-
able amount of organic matter , and
plants which are grown for their foli-
age should be attempted only on rich
soils. We speak of that now because
this is the ideal time to prepare next
year's flower beds.
-
If you have only common cows ,
breed them to' a male of standard
dairy breed and' the result will give
grade animals. These half-blood"
grade animals bred in the same line
will give animals more nearly pure
bred , and this breeding and selection
with judgment will result in a herd of
high producing animals that will make
money for the breeder or the man who
buys them. ,
Trimming the orchard is imperative
and trimming the hedge rows is just .
as important. An untrimmed orchard
not only fails to produce fruit but is
also unprofitable In the shabby ap
pearance it gives the farm. The un-
trimmed hedge is even more objec-
tionable as one gets his first impres-
sion from the outside.
Humus making crops are such
grasses as timothy , clover , blue grass ,
brome grass and alfalfa. It has been
found that grass land plowed and put
into crops is under better conditions
of moisture and freer from weeds than
land that has grown grain continu-
ously.
When the fowls begin molting they
will practically cease laying. As the
growing of new feathers is a heavy
drain on the fowl extra feed should
be given. A small amount of linseed
meal can be given to an advantage.
Feed wheat and oats rather than much
corn.
Don't let the young orchard trees go
into winter without protection.
Anything that shades the bark will
protect from sunscald but a covering
that gives the tree immunity from
both sunscald and gnawing from ro
dents is better.
-
A well drained soil with good eleva-
tion , slightly higher if possible than
the surrounding area , fairly , heavy in
character , with a deep , strong , but
not hard-pan subsoil furnishes the
best conditions for successful apple
growing. , * -

While there is never any very large
profit in selling either turnips or
"greens , " the crop is one that requires
so little care and is so sure that it
will pay anyone handy to a market
to sow some for sale.
_ -i.1 - : : _ . _ t-
T ; : :
There are three -kinds of bees in
every thrifty hive-one queen , during
the summer season several hundred
drones , and the rest workers. These
workers are all females , undeveloped
queens.
This being the cement age , cement
floors are good for the new poultry
house , for they are dry and easily
kept clean. They can be covered with
dry earth in summer and cut straw in
winter.
"Examine the horse's teeth fre
quently. " It be
might added that a
most important time to do this is
when you are being importuned to buy
a horse that is "as sound as a roach. "
We frequently see young colts fol
lowing along the fields after their
dams , walking many miles during the
hot weather. Useless and poor busi-
ness.
Generally when the comb of a fowl
Is bright colored , showing it to be full
of blood , the fowl is in a healthy con-
dition and the fowls
are usually ac
tive.
Grass , clover , corn fodder and cow
peas , when fed in green state , are rel-
ished by farm animals much more than
after they are cured.
To groom the horse well after hard
work , does not only clean the skin , but
It prevents various parasitic diseases
? f the skin
.
A farmer writes from Salina county ,
Nebraska : "Our apple orchard is on
thin land and was badly neglected
when we bought the place. After two
years of heavy applications of stable
manure we made that old orchard
yield at the rate of 1,500 bushels of
apples per acre in one year. " The
trees were so close , together , however ,
and the yield so large that they were
greatly weakened. We then took the
bull by the horns and cut out every
other tree and are going to have splen
did results this year. "
The udder of a cow has a good deal
to do with her value as an economical
producer. An ideal udder should not
be too large , but should have sufficient
capacity to allow the ' continued
growth of the cells necessary in the
manufacture of milk. The udder
should be evenly balanced in front
and behind and should be covered
with soft , velvety hair and be free
from blemishes and fleshiness. It
should extend well forward and well
up behind and the teats should be
evenly placed.
Humus is a variable , infinite sort
of matter difficult to classify , chem-
ically complex , sometimes highly ni
trogenous and sometimes nearly ni
trogen free , composed of mixed ani-
mals and vegetable matter-mostly
the latter in its intermediate forms of
decomposition , but not complete.
A little green corn will help out
amazingly when the pastures get
short these hot , dry days. Care must
be used in feeding it , but it is doubt-
ful if it can be made to bring a big-
ger profit "than when fed green as a
supplement to failing pastures. And
you get full value for the entire crop
when used in this manner.
It takes two-thirds of all the good
cow eats to keep her alive and with-
out loss of flesh , and the other third
of ordinary good rations to enable her
to give milk. The expense of two-
thirds of the money earning rations
has to be incurred when the cow is
earning nothing.
Angora goats of both sexes will
sometimes breed when five months
old , and often at six months , but from
the fact that they are at this age but
a month or two from weaning time
and are not nearly full grown , It is ob
vious that they should not be permit
ted to breed.
With native grass lambs or with
lambs fresh from the range country ,
it would not be advisable to begin
heavy grain feeding when first placed
in the dry lot , as an abrupt change is
not conducive to the best health nor
to the best future gain with any class
of animals. '
With the present short pastures and
promised advent of extremely dry , hot
weather , it must be remembered that
now is the opportune time to feed the
sweet fodder corn we urged you to
plant through these columns last
spring for soiling purposes.
The profit from poultry depends
upon economical feeding , from utili-
zing materials which would otherwise
be wasted. When grain must be
bought for supplying their principal
needs close figuring is necessary to
avoid loss. .
Do not let the radishes that were
left for seed become too ripe before
the seed is gathered. When the pods
break the seeds spread over a great
deal of ground and are equal to a
weed pest the following year.
In dressing fowls for market it pays
to be particular in dressing them. A
well dressed , dry picked fowl should
bring several cents more per pound
than one that has its skin torn and
lots of pin feathers on it.
I
Unless a person Is willing to pay
attention to little details and not
only do them once but as often as oc
casion may require , it would hardly
be advisable for them to undertake
poultry keeping for profit. I I
The young beesi - hatched from Au
gust first on , will constitute the colo-
colony
ny to be wintered , and for this rea-
son it Is wise to see that much brood
is ready , even if we have to resort ' $ 1
stimulative feeding.
Do not allow the pullets to get too
fat , as it will set them back in ma-
king a start at egg production. Be-
sides , this overfat is apt to create too
much animal heat , which often results :
in a molt out of season.
A clover crop in which Bladder ,
Campion is prevalent should be cut I
early for hay , then deeply plowed and
thoroughly fallowed during the bal-
ance of the season , preparatory to a
hoed crop.
Water is a necessary constituent of
milk and the cow must have it during ,
the time it is being manufactured.
The best plan is to have a supply
where she can have access to it at all
times.
In raising late hatched chicks it is
always best to have separate quarters
for them where they will not be
trampled down and their feed stolen
by the older and stronger birds.
If possible , keep the bees from cas
ting more than one swarm , and you
are certain , in a normal season , to
get a nice surplus of honey.
Keep a few cats in the barns and
give them milk at each milking. They
will destroy the rats which eat the1
grain that lays in the barn.

TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE
"Our baby when two months old
Was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot , all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be a few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body , leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. It was aw
ful to see so small a baby look as she
did. Imagine ! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors'remedies but all
failed.
"Then we decided to try Cuticura.
By using the Guticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. Un-
der this , where the real matter was ,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap ;
and applying the Cuticura Ointment ,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining a little skin which would peel ]
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is a fine
picture of a fat little baby and all
is well. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap , two boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer-
ing with eczema. Mrs. : Joseph Koss-

Vermont Thrift.
Robert Lincoln O'Brien , editor of the
Boston Transcript , is a great admirer
of the thrift of the Vermonters , but
thinks sometimes they carry it too
far.
O'Brien was up in Vermont last sum-
mer and went to dinner with a friend
who had some political aspirations. As
they came to the door he heard the
lady of the house say to the hired
girl : "I see Mr. Jones has somebody
with him for dinner. Take those two
big potatoes down to the cellar and
bring up three small ones. "
Speaking of 'Fires.
Roy Bone , a brother of United
States District Attorney Harry Bone ,
several years ago was a reporter on
the Wichita Beacon. In going to a
fire one of the members of the fire de
partment was thrown from a hose
cart and killed. Bone wrote a head ,
with this as the first deck : "Gone to
His Last - - Fire - : . . ;

Bone was promptly "fired.-Kansas

Gal-va-nite is coated on both sides with flaked Mica.
a mineral that never wears out. This coating protects the
wool felt base and its three of mineral .
: . - ; , - heavy coats asphalt.
Gravel or crushed stone in a roofing allows the weather to
dry the oils out and it soon rots. Mica retains these oils
