Spray potato plants for bugs.
Use barnyard manure for fertilizing.
Study the comforts of the cows and
young things.
No kind of young stock grows so
fast as a draft foal.
Raspberries are propagated by seeds,
sucker plants and tip plants.
The currant must not be cultivated
deeply, for it Is a shallow-rooted plant.
Twenty acres of good corn put In
the silo will feed 30 cows for a whole
year.
The raspberry and blackberry, like
the strawberry, will succeed on any
good corn soil.
Water the horses before feeding.
When fed first there is often more
danger of colic.
Care should be taken that the cow
does not have to wade through filth
in the barnyard.
Very few farmers take enough time
in fitting the field for planting cither
corn or potatoes.
Watch sweet clover. It begins to
look as if it had a very valuable place
among our farm crops.
Horses that are clipped dry off fast
at night This is better than having
tbem stand around in a heavy wet
coat.
A teaspoonful of coal tar to a peck
of corn, moistened with a little wa
ter, is said to be a protection against
gophers.
To be on the safe side cabbage
plants should be started in soil which
has not been previously used for cab
bage culture.
The production of pure milk means
obtaining the milk under scrupulously
clean conditions and handling it in a
cleanly manner.
Farmers make more clear money
from a flock of hens than from any
other livestock, but they are more
careless with them.
Much may be done to increase the
value of a woodlot by cutting out the
unsound or unlikely trees which are
crowding more valuable ones.
When buying a sprayer, get one
that throws a mist spray, as no other
will get the solution uniformly distrib
uted over all parts of the plant.
Where orchard trees have been heav
ily pruned early in the season, many
water sprouts or "suckers" will be apt
to grow in the center of the trees.
The chief value of alfalfa meal
over alfalfa is that it is all fed up,
and thus saves the waste impossible
to prevent in woody or coarse alfalfa.
The horses and oxen should be kept
in good, thrifty condition, not too fat
nor too thin, and this can only be had
by regular grain feeding throughout
I the year.
i The fertilization of the crop is only
t one of the several Important conslder
I atlons in growing a crop: seed, prep
aration of the soil and cultivation are
j equally important.
The best way to start in the poultry
business is to get a few hens and set
them on good eggs. These should al
ways be bought from a reliable breed
er and should be from pure-bred stock.
Barnyard manure is the best gen-
! eral fertilizer to use about young
J fruit trees; care 3hould be taken.
however, not to pile it up about the
tree trunk aB it is liable to burn the
bark.
In order that the hen may be able
to manufacture eggs she must be
given material that will not only ruild
up the wasting tissues, but will also
furnish the right ingredients to make
the eggs.
The biggest acreage of fodder crops
that ever was put into the ground Is
going in this spring in the northwest,
because the farmers who had poor
crops last year are tired, they say; of
paying high prices for hay and corn
and other commodities, and they are
going to raise plenty of stock food
this year.-
Potatoes should not be manured in
the drill. Plant on clover sod ground,
and apply 830 pounds of high-grade
animal bone and potash compound to
the acre. This will be at the rate of
one large handful to every three feet
of row. For tomatoes and cabbage
use both manure and phosphate. Mix
with the earth; make a low. flat hill.
It Is important that the eggs for
hatching receive consideration from
the first. Every male that is not
active and full of life should be
sacrificed for one that is better. Be
careful in feeding the hens, as eggs
from very fat hens seldon hatch and
if they produce chicks at all the
chicks will be weak and puny. Much
time can be saved in selecting only
strong ami-healthy hens for producing
eggs for hatching.
Keep on cultivating the com.
The foolish man sells his best cows.
Electricity is coming to be a farm
possibility.
Carelessness is the greatest cause
of failure in farming.
The teeth and the feet of the horse
should receive special attention.
Protein, starch, fat. sugar and fiber
are the nutrients that make up foods.
A rest just after foaling is worth
more to the brood mare than just be
fore. In building a dairy barn one of the
main points is to see that it is light
enough.
A good tomato plant should yield 30
pounds or one-half bushel, at a low
estimate.
The feet of the horse 6bouId be
cleaned every morning before he
leaves the stable.
Government whitewash will pre
serve the wood of old buildings more
cheaply than paint
Corn grown to rid land of weeds
should be check rowed. On clean
land drilling is satisfactory.
A fully ripe tomato taken from the
vine will weigh 20 per cent more than
one pulled and ripened indoors.
The new born colt must have milk
during the first half hour of its life, or
the chances arc that it will die.
Apple trees should be sprayed Im
mediately to kill the eggs and the
hatching young of the apple aphis.
The west has probably reached its
limit in sheep production. Now tbn
native lamb will get better attention.
The churn should be thoroughly
scalded and cooled with clean, cold
water before the cream is put into it
It is said that 20 acres of corn put
into the silo is worth more in feeding
a dairy herd than 30 acres in the
crib.
The best dairy cow is the one that
will convert the forage raised on the
farm into the greatest amount of but
ter fat
White pine Is one of the most profit
able trees to raise, and can be planted
to advantage on cutover land or worn
out pastures.
Brush the mud off the cow's udder
and flank, then wipe off with damp
cloth. You can't strain mud out cf
milk. Keep it out.
No man or woman to whom the
chickens are mere machines to swal
low corn and shell out eggs can ever
hope to get best results.
There are some excellent dry chick
feeds on the market at the present
time, ones that are both cheap and pos
sess a good feeding value.
The white grub, or larva of the June
beetle. Is found in sod land; hence the
best preventive is not to plant straw-,
berries on freshly-broken sod.
For black loams, clay and limestone
lands, the sod should be deeply
plowed in the fall or early part- of
winter to the depth of six to eight
inches.
Tender chickens for tabie use are 'a
rarity in the cities at practically all
seasons in the year, and it seems that
this particular demand will never :be
satisfied.
About 8,000 Dutch farmers are com
ing to America to settle upon farm
lands in Iowa. Illinois and Wisconsin.
About 350 have already arrived and all
have large families.
For the thrift and product of the
hen to keep her i . a good, healthful
condition and produce many eggs
both carbonaceous and nitrogenous
foods must be used with proper bal
ance. If chickens are confined In the hen
house until late in the morning they
are sure to fly off the roost as soon
as it is light and scratch around in
the filth, thereby laying the founda
tion for disease.
A blanched ration, In poultry diet
means a sufficient amount of car
bonaceous material in a mixture to
counteract any bad results that might
arise where an entirely nitrogenous
ration is given, and vice versa.
Groom the horses in the morning
and rub down at night; bathe the
shoulders with cold water both morn
ing and evening: the horse collar
should be scraped clean before putting
on in the morning.
Every step taken to make the sur
roundings of the homestead more at
tractive is one step further toward
keeping the boy or girl at home, in
stead of wandering to the city, and
toward the attainment of rural im
provement If this step be both orna
mental and useful, It Is the more
worthy.
Weeds in many cases have been
blessings in disguise. They have
taught us how to cultivate the soil
and they never allow us to forget the

GOOD DIPPING VAT FOR SHEEP
Every Farmer With Flock .of Twenty
five Animals Should Possess
One Concrete Is Cheap.
A farmer owning as many as twen
ty-five sheep should have a good
dipping vat These may be made of
wood, metal or concrete. For a
smaller number of sheep than twenty
five, the barrel used to scald the pigs
will do if the farmer feels that he
cannot afford to purchase or build
a vat
A good galvanized vat ten feet long
and four feet deep made purposely
for ' dipping can be purchased for
about $12. There are smaller sizes
than this that can be purchased for
less money. Concrete vats can be
built at a normal cost. Three or four
farmers can club together and pur
chase one of the galvanized tanks and
haul it to their respective farms as it
is wanted. A dipping vat for sheep
shoud be narrow enough to prevent
the sheep turning around in it, and
deep enough to swim large sheep.
The length of the vat should depend
upon the number cf sheep a man
keeps on his place, as the longer the
vat the greater the number of sheep
which can be dipped in a day. There
is considerable variation as to the
A Dipping Vat
width of vats found on different farms
and as a usual thing they are wider
than necessary. Then, too, the nar
rower J he vat the less the dip required
to fill it. A vat 20 Inches wide at the
(op and 8 inches wide at the bottom
is a fair average ns regards width,
although some very practical sheep
men construct their vats as narrow as
16 inches at the top and 6 Inches at
the bottom when the vat is 4 feet
deep. The size of sheep kept on a
farm must, of course, be taken into
consideration.
The dipping vat illustrated is lo
cated in the driveway of the hog
house, and can be used for the dip
ping of sheep and young pigs. It Is
built entirely of concrete, the walls
of which are 6 inches in width with
the exception of the partition be
tween the vat and dry chamber, which
has a thickness of 9 inches. The end
of the vat into which the hogs and
sheep are plunged is perpendicular
while the opposite end is provided
with an incline which is quite deeply
creased to that the animal can walk
out The floor around the end of the
vat from which the sheep emerge is
so graded that all drippings return
to the vat There are sewer connec
tions with this outfit, the valve of
which is located In the dry chamber.
The end of the sewer pipe in the vat
is' provided with a grate and trap so
as to catch bits of wool and droppings
which would otherwise clog the pipe.
MAKING A HOG-TIGHT FENCE
Brick or Stone Sunk in Ground With
Piece cf Wire Attached Will
Prove Effective.
I have had no little amount of
trouble fencing against hogs, for
stretch the fence as tightly as I could,
some old sow or pig would eventu
ally press the wire up between the
posts and let the whole bunch out,
says a writer in the Farm and Home.
A year ago I tried the following de
vice for keeping my hogs from lifting
the fence:
Take a brick or small stone for a
weight and a piece of No. 9 wire long
enough to fasten around the weighr
with three feet extending, and sink
the weight two and a ha.'f feet in the
Hog-Tight Fence.
ground directly under the bottom wire
and half way between the posts. Tamp
the earth firmly over the weight and
then bring the bottom wire of the
fence down closely to the ground and
fasten it to the wire that Is on the
weight This holds the fence down
firmly to the ground and there is no
hog that can raise it up.

Australia recently commemorated
the one hundred and forty-first anni

deavor, a barque of 370 tons, entered
the inlet first called Sting Rays Har
bor, but afterwards Botany Bay, from
the beauty and variety of the plants
growing about its shore. The vessel
remained eight days, and before she
left the British flag was hoisted. As
is the custom on each recurring anni
versary, the flag was again unfurled
upon the spot where it was first dis
played, and was saluted by the guns
of the warships in the harbor.
The Worth of the Voice.
How wonderful is the human voice!
It is indeed the organ of the soul!
The intellect of man sits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in his '
eye. and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul t
reveals itself In the voice only; ai '
God revealed himself to the prophet of
old in the still, small voice, and in ,'
the voice from the burning bush. The
soul of man is audible, not visible. A
sound alone betrays the flowing of the
eternal fountain, invisible to man.

Into the tube leading from the throat to the stomach.
They were first put under chloroform or some other
anaesthetic and the operation was painless. They were
kept for months in very good condition. .
When quite hungry some un-appetizing food was
placed before tbem and, although hunger forced them
to eat, it was shown by analysis of the contents of the
stomach that little if any of the digestive juices were
found.
Then, in contrast, some raw meat was put where they
couldn't reach it at once, and a little time allowed for
the minds of the dogs to "anticipate" and create an ap
petite. When the food was, finally given them, they de
voured it ravenously and with every evidence of sat
isfaction. The food was passed out into a dish through
the opening before it reached the stomach. It was
found to be mixed with "Ptyalin" the alkaline juice of
the mouth, which is important for the first step in di
gestion. Then an analysis was made of the contents of

the stomach, into which no food had entered. It was
shown that the digestive fluids of stomach were flowing
freely, exactly as if the desirable food had entered.
This proved that it was not the presence of food
which caused the digestive juices to flow, but the flow
was caused entirely and alone as a result or the action
of the mind, from "anticipation."
One dog continued to eat the food he liked for over
an hour believing he was getting it into his stomach,
whereas, not an ounce went there; every particle went
out through the opening and yet all this time the di
gestive juices flowed to the stomach, prepared to
quickly digest food, in response to the curious orders of
the mind.
Do you pick up the lesson?
Unappetizing food, that which fails to create mental
anticipation, does not cause the necessary digestive
Juices to flow, whereas, foou that is pleasing to the
sight, and hence to the mind, will cause the complicated
machinery of the body to prepare in a wonderful way
for its digestion.
How natural, then, to reason that one should sit dowm
to a meal in a peaceful, happy state of mind and start
off the breakfast, say with some ripe delicious fruit,
then follow with a bowl of crisp, lightly browned, thin
bits of corn like Post Toastles, add a sprinkle or sugar
and some good yellow cream and the attractive, appetiz
ing picture cannot escape your eye and will produce the
condition of mind which causes the digestive juices
nature has hidden in mouth and stomach, to come forth
