THE AUUSE OF SHADE.
For our hot summcrs shade around the
house secms to be nn absolute nccesaity.
lt is well to rcmcmbcr. howcver, tliat like
most other good things, we may so use
shade that lt bccomcs absolutely harmful.
lt has often becn obs rved that while a
home is new and has littlo shade it is
healthful, but after the house is buried
under trees the family begins to suflcr
from various diseases. which when tho
trees wcre small and east little shade
they were entirely free from.
The explanatinn is this! When a
house is buried in the shade. it becouies
dark and damp Darkness and' damp-
ness are both favorable for the crowth of
moulds, mildews and disease germs
Snnlight dries the house and kills out
right the germs of most of our formidable
diseases. Rheumatism and consumption
trive especially in dark and damp houses
In the dark dirt accumulates; disease
runs rampart in dirt and dampness
And then in darkness and dirt the arch
enemv of man, the devil, too is at home.
and we have the quartet, darkness, dirt
disease and the devil.
Shade should bc around the house, not
over it. Lot therc be open places all a.
round the house, so that the sun may
shine directly upon it. This will kccp
dry and wholesome.
Another evil which comes with too
inany trees is the shutting oiT the currents
of air so ncccessary whon it is very hot
Heat is much moro endurable with plenty
of movinc air than it is when there is no
circulation whatevcr. I'lant trees, plan
them in abundance, but not too close
to
the house, and when they become too
dense cut some of them out. Remcmber

things." "Hold fast to that which is good.'

such enterprises have been ontered

VALUE OF SUGAR BEETS FOR
SWINE.
An acro of grouud plauted to sugar
beets aud ell cared for will produce
moro aud bettor hog feed than can be
raised 011 tho samo amount of land
plauted or sown to any other crop.
This may be stating it pretty strong,
but owine to the creater amonnt of
labor required in raising an ncre of
beots comnarod with raisine an acro
of corn, we want to make it still much
strongor. We- aro mlly satisfled that
more and better feed for a herd of
hogs, except for purely fattening
purposes, can be produced 011 one
acre of good beet land, taken one year
with another, than can be produced
011 ten acres of equally good corn land
plauted to corn. First, for tho reason
that von can raiso moro than donblo
the amount of feed on tlio one acre
plauted to beets than you can raiso
011 the ten acres plauted to corn, and
of almost, if not equal, feeding value,
except, as wo have said, for fatten
ing purposes.
Wo baso this statemeut on tho fol
lowing proposition : Wo will agree
to grow ten tons of sugar boets an
acre any year that tho corn man, with
tho samo rainfall, and othor favorablo
conditions, can produce twonty bush
els of corn, aud fifteen tons when
thirty, and twonty tons when focty
bashels of corn can bo grown to tho
acre. This would meau for the first
or poorest year 20,000 pounds of beots,
agaiust 11,200 pounds of corn, as a
feed product. For tho secoud year
30,000 pounds of beets, against 10,000
pounds 01 corn, aud ior tho host yoar
40,000 pounds of beets, against 22,400
pounds of coni, making in overy caso
nearly donblo tho amount iu woight
of feed. That there isJ not that dif
forence in tho food value of the two
articles thoro is no quostion in our
miud. In fact, when fod togethor wo
bolieve tho valno of each is increased,
aud that two-thirds corn aud one-
thirdbeots, by weight, is muoh bettor,
ovon for fattouiug purposes, than
when, all corn is used, and if wo were
compelled to use eithor alouo in a
broeding herd wo would prefor tlio
sugar beets, especially during tho first
fivo or six mouthB of tho pig.or dur-
ing gestation for tho brood sow.
Sugar boots as a hog feed during the
fall, and espooially duriiiK tho win
ter, admirably take the placo 01 dov

VERY COMMON COMPLAINT,
CAN BE CURED,
EARLY AND LATE OUT HAY
' COMPARED.
One of tho most common orrors is
in allowlng tho hay crop to bocomo
overripo. This uot only roducos tho
digcstibility of tho crop, but also loss
eus its palatability n fnct too often
ovorlookcd in tho fceding of farm livo
stock. It wonld bo economy, in caso
n largo amonnt of hay is harvostcd,
to out part of it ovon beforo the crop
is fully grown, rnther than to allow
auy considerapble portion to becomo
tough and woody by stnnding until
tho seed is formed. Lato-ont grass is
not only less digcstlblo aud loss pala
tablo than that cut while in blooui,
but also roqnires a greator amount of
lnbor on tho part of the auinial to
make tho food nutrieuts available.
Tlio labor porformed in griuding nnd
digesting this tough, woody mnterlnl
roquires much oncrgy that otherwlso
might bo used for building up diroct
auinial prodncts, such as mcat nnd
milk. Rural New Yorkcr.
BIRDS AND FRUIT.

GOOD DAIRY PROSPEOTS.
There is going to be a bettor de
maud for a good quality of farm dairy
butter from tiiis timo forward, oleo,

iness, under the suporvision aud man
agement of skilled and well trained
lnbor, offors oxcolleut advautages for
good, substantial remuneration for
the labor put into tho work. Tho limit
of the profit will depend more on
how skilfully and economically the
business is conducted than upon oleo
logislation or local iufiuences in high
prices br low prices of the product.
It is a pormanonoy, a fixturo in the
food products of tlio country. Its
changes will come by improvomonts iu
mothods of manufncture nnd haud
ling, but uot in substitutes which
will displaco it in cousumptive de
mand. Now is the time to look well
after tho dairy cows, becanso it pays
to havo the very best maohinos at
work manufacturing this high
priced butter. Tho short milkor and
low quality cow should be roplaced at
ouco by a good one. There is now a
largo prospectivo crop growing. It
may mature into all that could be
desired, yet it will not furnish cheap
feed when compared with old timo
prices. Tho- corn crop, no mattcr how
abundaut tho yield throughout tho
entiro corn belt, will not bo tho cheap
foed it used to be. It will require a
big yield to fill up the ompty orips,
tho einpty elovators, tho depleted
stocks throughout tho markets of tho
world, aud then havo sulllcieiit for
the feeding industries that will ro-
vivo with tho iiifluoncos of a big corn
crop.
Tho silo has been revivod under tho
inllnenco of high priced feeds during
tho last year.. Silo crops aro boing
raised and silos will bo built in viow

MOWING AWAY HAY.
In tho days whon wo put iu our hay
by hand pitohing it into tho bays by
tho forkful, this was not so muoh of
a problom as now, whon most of it
goes iu in groat hoaps dumpod into
tho mows with tlio horbo fork. Thon
tho hay was lifted up llako by llako
and tosscd lightly over tho bay ovon
ly. lt catno out tho samo way, llako
by 11a ke, without tho hard, tugging
work so often following the work of
tho horso fork.
s ordinarily mowed nway it is a
hard job to got bay out of tho mow
whoro tho horse fork is used. Gon-
erally thoro will bo 0110 monstrons
heap in tlie contor of tho bay, whoro
tho load comes down with a forco
that shnkes tho wholo barn. From
this as a starting point , as much of
tlio rnass as can bo handled boforo
tho noxt load comes up is rolled in a
tniiglod pilo toward the outside of
the mow. Usually not moro thnn
half tho hay brought up at onco is
thus lovclled whon up comes an
other load, to bc thrown on the top of
what was left over, ndding to tho
burdon of tho hands in the mow and '
still fnrther incrcnsing tho Inbors of ,
tho man who is so uuforlunato as to
be compelled to pitoh it out noxt win-
ter. I
Now, there is a right way and a j
wroug way oven to mowing away
hay. No 0110 needs to bo told which :
wo havo been describing. It is decid- (
edly wroug to stack hay up in tho
barn in nny such mothod. There
should bo help onough in tho mow to
caro proporly for each forkful as it
comes up If shorthanded the teams
should wait until the men havo had
timo to put away the load first dump-
ed. Every forkful should bo detach
ed from tho rest nnd mo wed away,
care being taken to keep tho outsido

lowed to roll great masses of twisted
and tangled hay 011 i nto one coruer
of the mow, to romain a nover end.
ing sourco of troublo until the lnst
forkful has been fed out.
It is not such a hard pieco of busi
ness to mow hay away aftor this
mothod. Two uood hands will just
aoont keep up with the ordinary horso

the hay thus stored will come out o

it should be.
a hard task it is to tug away at a lot
of hay bound in by allowing one fork
f nl after another to fall into the mow.
How tired we come out of tho bay,
and how we resolve that horeaftor
thoro shall bo 110 more such work !
