No winter grain should drilled. be cross It is doubtful whether there ure tiny advantages In cross drilling grain at any season. The check to growth in the drill furrow is only ■ enough to save the grain from becom- | ing too vigorous anil being thereby at- ! tacked with -rust. The particular ob ! Jection to cross drilling winter grain is [ that half the seed is double covered r.ud ls buried under the ridge made by tlie second drilling.

Tlie The Care of Honij, Honey has a great affinity for molst ure, aud if comb honey is stored in a damp atmosphere it will absorb the moisture through the slightly porous | cappings and become thin and watery. The bulk of the honey will be so in- j creased that it will burst the cells and ; ooze out. The honey may become so 1 thinned that fermentation will set in. 1 Cold is also detrimental to comb honey, causing it to candy in the cells. When ! comb honey Is first taken from the hives. It should be stored In a warm, dry atmosphere. A room in the south west corner of a building where it will I become very hot In the afternoon Is a good place to store it. The heat con tinues the rinenimr nnwess ' anil if there are auy unsealed cells, the honey in them becomes thicker and riper in Down cellar is where the ordinary purchaser of comb honey ls almost sure to put It. No place could be more undesirable for keep Ing comb honey. As ordinarily kept, comb honey will candy before spring, but by keeping It In stead of thinner. a warm atmos | phere It will not candy, and will really j Improve with time, . Melon* Not C« n Hill«.

The belter way is to • . » . , . ... plant the «eed in a line along a slight ridge, putting some nitrate of soda un , 1 , der the seed, and scattering a very lit - ; tie of the manure a little distance from tlie vines, so that when the root« form on the points, ns they will, they will strike down to the manure. A very lit tle manure Is enough to furnish plant food, and is better than the large quan tity that only dries up the ground and causes the crop to fall. lotuto Bua* down, there will always come an influx of these pests on the toninto vines, which, differently as they seem to us. the bug recognizes ns belonging to the solantim family, and therefore his pro per meat.

The tomato is very often cut up without be ing peeled, or Is cooked In its skin, and poison may thus be conveyed to those who eat this fruit, Toi to Vino*. I.ate In the season, after most of the early planted potato vim's have died ! j I | Bucker« on Corn. Early planted corn has always the most suckers. That which Is planted late and usually receives no check in If the season ' ts growth has fewest. Is entirely favorable, the corn that has had no check and has therefore few or 110 suckers will be the best. But if j D*c season proves unfavorable, tlie sut ker may play an important part In increasing the yield. The sucker Is always later than the main stalk, though if the cheek to gi\>w 1 h is received from early planting, some times a very good ear may be grown on both sucker and stalk. It is the opin ion of many farmers that more weight ! of grain is grown on corn early planted i There is certainly a greater weight of , stalks, and this Increases the labor of harvesting the crop. Preventing Weeds from Seeding. In most of the States there are strict laws requiring the supervisor of high ways in each town to see to It that all weeds are cut at least twice a year, once In June and again in September, to prevent them from seeding. They are not generally enforced as they should be. Either the work Is wholly unattended to or it ls done so carelessly as to do little good. It Is In vain that farmers try to keep their own fields free from weeds while weed seeds are pro duced in neighboring highway« to bo borne by winds to their fields, and per haps increase largely before they are discovered. Buying Cheese Cheaply. The anti-filled cheese law passed by the last Congress has cleared out the adulterated cheese, which was wholly abominable and indigestible. Now that good cheese Is again In the market ev erybody may buy with confidence. Cheese is the cheapest nitrogenous food that can be had, as it supplies also phosphates, which meat, except in its I Kino, mostly lacks. There ought to lie much more general consumption of cheese than there Is. Farmers who do not themselves make cheese ought to liny it. and the cheese makers will also buy their products. Hairy Hots. Feed all that the cows will eat up clean. Neither the strainer nor the separator wtll take dissolved filth out of the milk or creatn; prevention is the only rem edy. If the cows are allowed to eat the bitter ragweed, tho milk will be bitter. While the grass is plentiful, however, they will not eat much weeds. Care must be taken to see that the pastures supply plenty of food; other wise tho cows may begin to fall In their milk-giving. To churn easily and make good but ter, milk should not be over thirty-six hours old. Keeping milk too long and falling to salt the cows makes butter slow to come. The best churning temperature is fi2 degrees in summer, and 04 degrees In winter. If you feed much cotton seed in winter you can go to 68 or 70 de grees, and it will do no harm. The lower the better.
