' It may be a song of which we are weary, but it is true that a Binall area of trees will begin at once to add value to a farm, and that value will increase with each year's growth. A black walnut tree, planted upon rough, untilable ground, will soon be worth more than the whole acre upon which it is planted ; then the taxes will not seem such a burden. It is possible that the weed pests of the country will not feel the real force of the attacks of human ene mies until the law takes hold. The time will come that, whn the farm er will not slaughter them as he should, the Btate will do it, and charge ihe expense up ou the tax duplicate. Ho many men will not do their whole duty voluntarily. Hedges, for partition lines, do not need the strength thty did in the days when the cattle ran at large. Barberry makes a beautiful fence, and is strong enough for most pur poses. Some of our wants are in part fan ciful. Two often the farmer tries to save himself the hard work which brings riches by spending money for unnecessary appliances which should go toward lifting his little mortgage or improving his farm. Sometimes a wheat field not burn ed will winter enough Hessian flies to supply a whole township. In sea sons when they are numerons let there be a concert among neighbors to burn over their stubble, to be fol lowed bv a sowing of some quickly growing crop like cow peas; and j then plow under at the regular time I of sowing.

" The wise farmer is looking for the animal which will consume large quantities of food, and not some kind ou which he can, ave his pro vender. His whole study of the present day is how to pit-pare his food and how to fed it. An assortment of stock, with va ried tastes and requirements, is a necessary as diversification in crops', for they will better' the byproducts. When there are difT;rent kinds of animais about the farm there can be more of them than if confined whol ly to one sort. Practical lessons go farther with the farmer boy than words.

There will be then less difficulty in set-tlin'-' the problem of keeping him at homo, for. he will be doing some thing for himself, . If you have a sufficient number of cows or mares or sows, own a male of your own ; it is possible you may cheapen his cost by hiring him out to the neighbors. It is often less expensive to own a thoroughbred male than to be continually paying out service fees. Good food fed to good stock will increase its value many fold, but in no circumstances can good food bring a profit when it is fed to poor stock; consider it wasted. The matured animal is most easi ly made ready for market. Only when it approaches maturity does it readily take ou flesh, lor life and growth must be first sustained, and only after that can anything be spared for future use in the shape of fat. The introduction of a new queen bee will change the entire stock in about two months. A colony of the worst type of the old black bees may bethus easilv transformed if given an Italian queen, and our whole apiary may be brought up to the highest state of perfection in this short period of time. Lest the swrin does not take kindly to the new coiner, it is well to place her in a wire cage for 24 hours, that they may form her ladyship's acquain tance.' It is not unlikely that you have some stock which you haa better give away than feed over the win ter. Count the cost, remembering that where there is no profit there is usually loss. Waste no fond on any animal which does not give good promise. We should not lose sight of the fact that while the flrat cross be tween breeds materially different in character results in increased vigor of constitution, it at the same time does such violence to the breeding characteristics of the animals as to render their progeny of no practical value for breeding purposes. To wait for a raise in prices often but consumes feed at a loss, and the rise, if it comes, is otf-tet by the waste of feed. The wiser way is to plan to, have some good stock to put on the'market every month in the year. "Two or three wires put through a hedge will make an effective protec CiHi against most of our stock.

Corn fodder losm some of its val uable constituents when left expos ed in shocks in the field; it also loses some by heating when put in thesilo. It requires about half as much power to cut stalks when green as t cut them when dried, and i he com cutting for the silo can all be done at one time, and hence far cheaper 'nan when it must be done at different times after it is dry. Our own special conditions must help lis decide just what is best to do with our stalks. When properly treated with hot water, and the proper time elapses between preparing the food and feeding it, dry fodder will be found not much inferior to the ensi lage. Poor stock and neglect usually go together and lead to disappoint ment. Grude up to pure bred sires and get that early maturity and su perior quality developed by the skill of the successful breeders. Huch stock prompts one to liberal feeding and the best of care. The earlier any animal goes to market the more money thei'e is in it lor trie seller for the expense or reaiing it. 1 he most profitable sheep is that which has never known what a win ter's enow or cold is, and goes to market in the s'ime year it is born. If horned cattle a.e most profitable at two or three years of age, sheep should be the same under one year old. Selling all the wethers as lambs might make a breach on the wool market for a time, but mutton eat ing is a habit, which will grow, es pecially if the better lamb meat is the quality which makes the princi pal supply. The farm can soon be stocked up to its feeding capacitv without carrying over its wether ciop. Dairy. The slow hand gets the less milk and dries the cow. Milking should be done rapidly, and it is, therefore, well not to have too many hands em ployed in the work. With one milk er to a dozen cows there is more like lihood of efficient work than when half as many cows make up the tale. The character or temperament of a cow can not be changed ; if poor in kind she can never be made a good dairy animal any more than can a plow horse be converted into a road ster. Abundant food will support her, but it is wasteful to feed her for milk. ' Mixing breeds promiscuously works bad. Keep to the line of dairy ing and the breed of cow you begin with, keeping the blood the purest possible. Let the male for your dairy be se lected from a family better in your line of dairying than your herd, and it will be a guaranty ot improve ment in the offspring. If your herd is up to the ideal standard, then be very careful not to go down by us iug an inferior male. The odors and taints about the milk due to the influence of good may be readily distinguished from bacterial growth. If the trouble ap pears soon after eating, it is due to the food ; but if the taste is affected after a few hours, growing rapidly worse, one may be assured that the remedy to be sought is not to be found in changing the food, but in better management in the da'ry and the barn. Constant dry food will deciease the milk yield. In feeding cows it is an unwise piactice to give too much chaff, crushed corn or any other dry food, unless it is steamed. Poultry. If we can coax our hens to lay in the winter they are likely to become broody early in the spring, and in that way only do we get the -early pullets for the laying season next fall. We can easily keep our poultry houses dry if we can place them on a little mound or hillside. We should not count it too much work did we have to build the mound. Ducks will not run about more than is good for them when they have their liberty. They fatten best when given free range, though this is not true of all fowls. A patch of rye to which hens can get during the winter and early in the spring makes flue green feed. It is not too late to sow rye for this pur pose. Allowing the cocks to run with the hens during the winter has nothing to do with early laying; and then remember that infertile eggs have superior keeping qualities. Ducks have good appetites, and we inti9t seed them accordingly. If they are young they will use the feed to add to their weight, and if matured they lay better for being well kept. More profit can be had from cheap er structures for the chicken yard, and then hens will be just as happy and just as busy in them. Costly poultry house are not a necessary part of the poultry business. Not so much for the per cent, of nourishment they contain are green vegetables valuable for poultry, for that is small, but for their impor tant organic salts. They supply es pecially the salts of potash. Before the village fancier goes to his daily business let hitn spade up a fresh space in his poultry yard in the morning, where his biddies may revel and be happy allday. Horticulture. The quince is a valuable fruit and the orange variety seems to lead in productiveness. They have hardly failed of a crop at any time during the last 10 years, where the climate is suited to them, while many other varieties have made but poor head way. The mildew of the foliage and the rot of the fruit have been the chief obstacles to the successful growing of hot house grapes out of doors. With the fungicides now at com mand this trouble is about over come, in moderate climates. The quality of fruit from trees well fertilized is... enough better to repay the cost; and if carefully cul tivated the fertilizer will better reach the roots than if put to grass. If the grass is allowed to grow, turn in the sheep to keen the herbage down. When setting out the tomatoe in the spring, dig a hole and till in with I DISHES TOED N Gold Dust does it.
