OUR BEST APPLES.
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.

KLGEXE SKCOR.
The demand of the local market
should be understood. 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.

Cattle feeders often purchase In
ferior grades of steers because they
can buy them so much cheaper that
they can good, high grades. Thi'
shows that high grades sell at much
higher prices than do scrubs. Farm
ers ought to see this plain fact and
laise high grades instead of scrubs.
Which breed of cattle is best foi

question that cannot be answered di

should be of the dairy type.

I then wonld have :t inisearriagv. The lusf time f hi.uiu pregnant, my
! husband got me to take Lydia E. Pinkhattt' Vt-gt'talita I ompoiiHit.
, After taking the first IwUtle I was relieved of the sickness of stomat'b,
! and togun to feel better in every way. 1 continued its use and was
enabled to carry my baby to maturity. I now have a nice baby girl,
and can Avork lietter than I ever could liefore. I am like a new wo
