In parts of our country where apple raising has in recent years become an important industry the tendency has been to restrict the selection to but few varieties, and it is noticeable that Ben Davis occupies a very prominent place in all these commercial orch ards. While Ben Davis is no doubt one of our very best commercial apples, it is largely due to its color and good ship ping qualities. In our opinion there are other varieties like Gano. Grimes Golden and Jonathan which can be grown with as great success, and be made just as remunerative to orchard Its. The fact that some growers hap pen to do better with one variety of appte. or other fruits, than another is cot proof that that one variety is bet 2c r adapted to their particular soil, lo cation, etc. Sometimes a bad year will destroy one variety and not an other. Therefore, it is not wisdom to plant of only one variety, but of sev eral, so that if one fails from weak ness of blossom, or blossoms too early and is hurt by frost, that some other variety may thrive and do well. The above mistake is often made, tut generally results from too narrow experience, and from drawing conclu sions from limited knowledge and ex perience in this line. The value of a goodly supply of humus in fields on which com is to bo grown is not as generally understood as it ought to be. If one were to plant corn ou a part of a field well worn with constant cropping and also an another part of the same, freshly broken from sod. he would he aston ished ln the difference of the growth niade. When this matter comes to be understood as it 'ought to be. there will be more desire on the part of our farmers to lay down their fields more frequently in grass. GET READY TO COVER PLANTS. The strawberries will need cover ing in the more northerly of the lati tudes in which they are grown. If the matter is given no consideration till the ground freezes, the culturist may not be able to obtain the neces sary covering except at considerable expense. There is much marsh grass growing in localities where it is of no value, which can be mowed if taken it the right season for mowing and curing. After it is beaten down by the winds and rain or the trampling of cattle it is practically out of the reach of the farmer. Straw is fairly good for this purpose, but may as well be placed where it will be easily available at the time it is wanted. Be sides the strawberries there are irny Dthcr plants that will need protection the blackberry bushes, grape viues, -aspberry canes, rose bushes and so forth. A hundred years ago two German ;hemists found sugar in the grape, and in a few years later a Russian found it in starch, and moreover, found starch sugar to bo identical with Crape sugar. To make glucose or grape sugar tho starch is treated with muriatic acid, under pressure, tho acid is neutralized by carbonate of soda. The acid is affixed to the sodium, forming common salt, and every trace of the carbonic acid remaining is car ried off. By a varying temperature, pressure anr degree of acidity a va riety of sugars car. be produced. When the acid treatment or "conver sion" is carried to the farthest, grape sugar is produced. When the action is less complete, a thick, colorless syrup, called glucose, is produced. To make a table syrup of glucose, 10 per cent of cane syrup, sorghum or mo lasses is added to give it the desired ?olor and flavor. BE GOOD-NATURED. Don't scowl all the time or even part of the time, in fact don't scowl at all. Be good-natured even if you ire th loser. "A good-natured loser is aa easy winner." Many a good fu ture has been blighted by a bad tem per brought on by the habit of con tinually scowling. Friends, long life, food health and good fortune are the natural results of a good temper. If four temper is fiery, don't feed the flames with a threatening appearance, but curb it by acting teven though you are not sincere) the good fellow. Popularity is striven for liy all of us. but none of us can succeed if we al ways greet our neighbors with a stern loolr. Take notice thereof, and gov trr. yourself accordingly. reeding stock profitably means feeding them without a loss of feed. Too much feed is wasted by careless feeding. Stock that is being fitted for the market should gain in weight very day. If this is sot done much feed Is wasted. SEED SAVING TIME. Generally speaking, the proper time for selecting and saving seed is just as soon as it is well matured. There arc doubtless some exceptions, as in developing early strains of tomatoes, when to a certain extent, seed from unripe fruits may be used to advant age. Potatoes' for seed purposes are thought by many growers to be more vigorous if dug before thoroughly ripe. Be this as it may. wherever pos sible the seed should be selected be fore the main crop is harvested, or if aot gathered, should be sought out and so marked that there will be no difficulty in securing it at a conveni ent time. One of the things for the stockman to be doing now is to arrange to get his stock through the coming fall and winter to the best advantage. To do this he should aim to store up all the roughage possible. Get stock that is tbe wintered In good shape this fall and it will cost less to carry them through the winter. GATHERING AND SAVING SEED CORN. The method 1 pursue in gathering and saving seed corn is as follows: ln the fall, when I husk my corn. I attach a bushel box to the front end of the wagou-bed. and into this box throw all the best ears 1 find, as I husk each load. Altar unloading at the crib the ears in the boxes are put in. a dry shed, under a good roof. Each subsequent boxful is taken care of in the same way. and by the time the crop is husked out 1 have gathered through this box from twenty to twenty-five bushels of select ears, and have my seed corn for the next season picked out. And the beauty of this method is I have the cream of the crop. Some farmers object to this method, saying it takes too much time at a busy season. True enough:, but aft er all. in selecting good seed, time spent in doing so is not wasted; and the time it takes to fill and refill the seed-corn box never will be missed in the wind-up of the husking season. I have seen some farmers neglect their seed corn unil the rush of spring work was on. then jump into a crib, pick out anything that would grow, nubbins and all plant it the same day it was shelled and when the husk ing season came around and their crop looked spotted and did not "pan out." it was then they took time to meditate upon the fact that this corn was running out deteriorating. The production of any soil is gov erned by the supply of any one of the principal three constituents of plant food, i. e., nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. A soil may be rich in potash and phosphates and if deficient in nitrogen will produce poor crops. The addition of large quantities of a fertilizer containing only potash and phosphoric aeid would not increase the productive capacity of such a soil. So if phosphates and nitrogen are plentiful but potash largely Jack ing the results will be the same. Plants require all three of these foods in large quantities, and the successful farmer must know what his soil needs. This is not a difficult matter to de termine, simply a question of a little common sense experimenting, and does not necessitate analyses of soil and that sort of thing.

There are cer tain fashions in the local market that should be catered to. Uemember that the best is none too good, and that the one who wins the reputation of selling only first-class produce, gets better prices, and establishes a profit able trade that is hard to break. Many farmers have little trouble in produc ing first-class products, hut how many lack the nack of disposing of them at good prices? VINEGAR. Wind-fall apples will make good vinegar if gathered up and run through u cider mill and then the juice thus obtained allowed to fer ment. The riper the apples, the stronger the vinegar they will make. If the apples are very green a little sugar added to the cider before fer mentation sets In will improve the quality of the vinrgar very much. The cider should h. placed in wooden or earthen vessels ;ind set in the sun until fermentation ha; run its course. Then it can be stosed in the cellar or other convenient place for use. It is remarkable how much talk and advice on farming can come from men who have never made farming pay themselves. The man who has proved his worthiness to advise others is only the man who has achieved success in the same line. Excuses for non-mc-cess are of no alue in tuch an ex ch&nge. DESTROY THE VINES. The best possible disposition that can be made of the melon, squash and cucumber vines is to pull them up and when sufficiently dry pile and burn them. Left upon the ground they become the shelter and breeding-place of the next year's crop ot beetles. The young men of the present day are greatly blessed with the educa tional facilities furnished by the itate agricultural and mechanical colleges. The new generation starts out in life fully equipped with knowledge ac quired for all emergencies. Their fathers had to start in life first and learn their lessons afterwards by ex perience. Every farmer should have a dog law of his own. My law is never to allow a dog in the yard with my cows. I notice that whenever a dog does stray into the field, there are many indications on the part of the cows tMt he is not welcome. They are almost wild until he is away and out or sight. POULTRY NOTES. "What is the cause of hens eatiufe feathers? What is the best food for hens in summer to make them lay? K M. B.. Blakesby. .Minn. Ans. Hens that are kept in crowded quarters and not given a sufficient variety of food are very apt to con tract the habit of feather eating. Feeding an animal food of some kind, such as green cut bone, beef scraps, milk, etc., is beneficial in preventing their forming the habit. Over-feeding and lack of exercise, cr anything which tends to idleness in the flock is apt to cause the trouble. Allow plenty of house and yard room, feed only what they will eat up readily and quickly, keep them busy, and in cast of a persistent feather eater pare the sharp part of the beak to the quick so siu cannot pull the feathers. Oats is the best summer grain, as it is less heating and less fattening than the other grains. A little of other grains should be fed for variety. The fowls should be allowed a good grass run or range or gieen food of some kind should be supplied them and animal food should also be provided it they do not have access to a plentiful sup ply on their own range. Old lime mortar is good for hens. Feed your fowls many different kinds of grains. Cull out every fowl for whicfi yon have no use. A large, bright red comb on a hen shows a good layer. .Never feed little thickens more thau they will eat at a time. Wash, scald, clean, whitewash and disinfect the henhouses. Kpsom salts In the drinking water is a cure tor colds in chicks. Poorly shaped eggs are not simhI for hatching: use or sell them. For best results do not have the male related to the rest of the flock. Keep ouly standard-bred poultry, and care for them in proper manner. Keep the dust-boxes in the sun: tpe liens like it and it keeps the dust dry'. Sweet potatoes and cornmeal are excellent for fattening fowls for mar ket. Some people make light of the poul try business, and say it is a small "one horse" business. This may be true if a small "one-horse" man h running it. But a business ir which between five and six mil lions of farmers are engaged and who annually rais-e XU.OW.Wi chickens. T.OOO.ono turkeys. U.uyo.000. IHMi geese and o.Ouo.UiMj ducks, and sell about $140,000,000 worth of poultry ami $150,000,000 worth of eggs, is not a small business, and only small men declare that it is. LIGHT AND HEAVY HOGS. During the summer the price of light or lean hogs topped the market for several weeks. And though this is not an unusual condition for that season of the year the conclusion was jumped at by certain ones that the dJys of the fat hog were numbered, and that at the la.st the light hog was to be the market's favorite henceforth and forever. But with Ihe coming of cooler weather the heavy, fat hog be gan to come to the front again, just as it always has at that season. There was a time during the warmest weather whoa light, lean hogs com manded a premium over the fat and heavy sort, but at this writing the last ! very near the front, and gain ing every day. it may be, of course, that some lighter and leaner hogs' will be the habitually highest priced one. and then it will be the duty ol agricultural writers and papers to ad vise it But to do vo when the other sort ot hog is habitually the high priced one is not good business policy for the grower, and should not be ad vocated by wi ,ters or journals. Ex change. Curby hocks on a horse are almost always found in connection with a bent formation of the hind leg. This is probably owing to the greater strain on the sinews of the let hon tho bone is in a slanting position, than when it is vertical. In a well formed horse one built for speed and endur- airtf mv uiuci legs from, ankle to hock are exactly vertical, a diverg ence from this in any direction will he faultv. TIME TO PICK FRUIT. There is nothing gained in allow ing the apples to remain on the tree.' too lato in tho fan. There is alwayf a risk of an early frost that may dt serious injury, and the safest plan is to avoid this risk. After the fruit at tains full size there is nothing gained :y allowing it to remain on the tree. When the picking is done is when the assorting should be done, as the fruit intended for long keeping should he bound and whole in every particular. All bruised, specked or damaged specimens should be selected out and pit by themselves. In hand ling all reasonable care should be tak en not to bruise r.r injure in any way.
