Alfalfa makes dairying profitable. ,
. It Is useless to plant clover on wet
soil.
The life of the honey bee la very
short.
Few planta will grow without air In
the Boll.
Clover and legumes do not succeed
on lands that are sour.
The fall of the year is the best time
for setting peony plants.
Gasoline has recently gained con
siderable reputation as a vermifuge.
The Deonv is one of the best and
most popular of all our early flowering
plants.
It is not a good plan to plant the
same field to the same crop two years
In succession.
The wise farmer wants assurance
on the soil of any land that he may
contemplate buying.
When the timothy crowds the clover
entirely out the following crops of
timothy are usually very large.
Farms where the soil is thin, and
practically must be bought over ' by
the cost of fertilizing, are not a good
investment. .
Aclditv may be overcome by apply
in from BOO to 1.000 pounds of lime
per acre, or by the use of floats or
ground shells.
Reports have been received that
about 5,000 homestead entries were
filed In Montana during the first six
months of 1909.
No other people set so high a value
on eood soil as the Hollanders, and we
are learnine that not many acres, but
rich' ones, make the profitable farm,
"rilnvnr fields that are thin may be
seeded to timothy for a crop next
summer by sowing the clover field
now to timothy and harrowing in the
field.
The roots of the cowpea- penetrate
rather deeply into the subsoil and en
ables the plant to feed upon the min
eral food that Is not readily eatracted
by other crops.
A common variety of Intestinal
worm which Is a soujce of much an
noyance to horses and which calls for
special attention Just now is popularly
known as the plnworm.
An effectual remedy for potato
blight has been found in bordeaux
mixture, which consists of four pounds
of copper sulphate and five or six
pounds of fresh lime in 60 gallons of
water.
All milk must be cooled to a tem
perature not above 65 degrees within
two hours after being drawn, and kept
thereafter below that, and must be
cooled to 50 degrees or Tess If not de
livered at the creamery twice a day.
Live stock farming does not always
mean diversified farming, and some
forms of live stock farming may be
come as objectionable in many ways as
a form of farming in which a single
crop Is grown for sale.
One of the most serious objections
to a single-crop system of farming is
the effect it has on the fertility of the
land. Our bast agricultural lands will
stand exploitive farming that Is,
farming without any attention to fer
tilityfor about two generations.
Agricultural teachers have urged di
versified farming for many years, but
with little effect until the appearance
of the boll weevil. This Insect made
cotton farming very precarious sad
has led to radical modifications in the
systems of farming prevailing in that
section.
The soy beans make the best hay if
cut when the pods have formed and
Ihe lowest leaves have turned yellow;
but for seed the cutting should not be
gin until half the leaves have turned
yelfow. Even the soy bean straw is
a fjf Suable feed. Animals relish the
hay and thrive upon it.,
' line milch goat, like all goats, can
make a living on brushy and hilly
land, where most other animals would
starve. They ate very beneficial to
land in cleaning It of weeds, sprouts
and brush. They cannot endure low,
wet land, but ttirive perfectly on
rough, hilly land. Those giving milk
should be fed on good grass, hay fod
der and wheat bran, but no grain of
anjr kind -
Very few bees die Inside of a hive.
Nothing Is so staple as the alfalfa
crop.
Early tomatoes prove a profitable
crop.
Acid soils usually have sorrel grow
ing on them.
Save this year's wheat field for some
other crop next year.
. The asparagus beetle is a trouble
some pest and hard to fight.
Land gets its value from the inter
est it will pay on the lsrestment.
An acid condition may be deter
mined by testing the soil with blue
litmus paper.
Drainage will ultimately be seen to
be of vital Importance in every irri
gated district.
Worms are most frequently seen In
young horses and In those that are
weak and debilitated.
Timothy and clover mixed makes
good hay because the timothy holds
the clover up and the curing is easier.
Clover alone cannot Indefinitely
maintain the land. A rotation will not
enable us to maintain the fertility of
the soil.'
Chickens are very fond of the aspar
agus beetles and sfew fowls will soon
capture the matured Insects If allowed
In a garden bed.
Those who have studied the canta
loupe market all over the United
States declare that there Is no danger
of over-production.
Luther Burbank says that the spine
less cactus will make millions of acres
of land now unirrigable, produce more
fodder than the rich meadow lands.
The addition of roots to an already
complete ration of silage, clover hay
and grain for a dairy cow stimulates
both milk and butter fat production.
Few of the honey bees live to exceed
the age of 45 days, except during their
time of hibernation In winter, yet In
this short period much is accom
plished.
Just because wheat Is high this
year do not sow an extra large crop
for next year. Everybody will do that,
which will have the tendency to lower
the price.
Perhaps a cow Is at her best at six
or seven years of age, though such
tests as have been made do not always
prove that. The data seems to be lto
lted for some reason.
It may not be generally known that
soy beans make the finest egg-producing
food for poultry. The' beans
would better be cracked until the
chickens are educated to eat them
Some of the clovr plants will re
main alive and some clover seed will
be In the soil so that the meadow
next year will be mixed clover and
timothy, which makes excellent hay
for the horses.
The first two weeks of á bee's life
are spent almost entirely Inside of the
hive nursing larvae, taking only a
short flight on sunny afternoons to
strengthen Its wings and mark the lo
cation of Its home. '
When pinworms are noticed to be
present in horses, frequent injections
of infusions of tobacco, infusions of
quassia chips, one-half pound to one
gallon of water, followed up by a ca
thartic, are most efficient.
Land plaster Is a soil stimulant, and
while It increases growth at first, it
will injure the soil. Land plaster Is
put Into some fertilizers, but It hurts
the land. Farmers don't want to be-
gla to use a stimulant for the land
The farmer, to win the highest suc
cess, must be in thorough sympathy
with his work and proud of his call
ing, and he must mix a great amount
of brains with his labor. The keynote
for achieving high success Is careful
attention to details.
Rock phosphate does not leach out
of the soil: it might wash off from a
hillside. As to the quantity, it is best
to keep applying rock phosphate until
the soil content of phosphorus has
been brought up to 1.5C0 or 1,800
pounds per acre in the surface seven
Inches.
An ideal of a farm Is one which
maintains a system of agriculture
which builds up the soil to a high
state of fertility, produces everything
needed on the farm that can be satis
factorily produced and maintains not
less than two principal Industries as
sources of revenue.
A verv eood ration for milk produc
Hon would be as follows: Feed dally
to each cow 30 pounds of silage and
ohnnt 10 nounds of hay. A very good
mixture to go with this roughage
would consist of 300 pounds of gluten
fecrt 200 nounds of bran and 300
umili nl corn chon and for each 3A
to four pounds of milk produced, give
one pound of this combination. If It
ii found imnractlcable to give 10
pounds of hay daily, the allowance
may be cut to five and the oat Btraw
may take Its place. If this is done,
we should advise adding 100 pounds
cottonseed meal to the above mixture
and then feeding aa directed.
Hid atmoBphere of a house Is
what makes It homelike.
Every living creature has an atmosphere
of his own. We can be as chilly and
damp and disagreeable as a March wind;
we can be as bright, ctieerrui ana cnarm-
Ing as a June morning; we can be dark
and impenetrable aa a November fog, or
as crisp and electric as a day In Decem
ber."
It depends entirely on ourselves
whether we are ugly, cross, tyranni
cal, fretful,' nagging, sulky and un
bearable, or kind, considerate, tender,
thoughtful, cheery, sweet and whole
some. Household Hints. .
Remove the brush from the carpet
sweeper, dip In warm water, shake
lightly and return. There will be no
dust and the Bweeper will collect bits
of dust that the dry brush wouldnt
hold. This Is a splendid way of clean
ing a rug In a sick room. Dip the
brush when It dries out and the rugs
will be bright and clean.
To Mend Pans. When a dish has
become useless because of holes, try
putting a little putty on the bottom,
smoothing it out and pressing it into
the hole. It 1b surprising how long a
mended place will last. The dish may
be even put on a hot stove.
When canning peaches Bave the
juice prepared from the skins and
pits and use It with crab apple juice,
for jelly. It not only gives a va
riety of Jelly, but qne has the satis
faction of knowing that nothing has
been wasted.
Carrots are said to give color to the
complexion, and gloss to the hair, If
eaten every day. One uncooked one
is a sufficient "dose." There are many
wholesome and attractive ways' of
serving the vegetable. They are very
good boiled, cut In strips with lemon
juice and melted butter added, or
boiled in dice and served in white
sauce.
An exceedingly pretty as well as ap
petizing soup may be made of car
rots, as follows:
Carrot Soup.
Cut the carrots In thin slices and
cook until tender, with a slice of on
ion and a few slices of green pepper.
Put the carrot through a sieve, add a
binding made of one tablespoonful of
butter and two of flour, well blended
and cooked together, then add one
pint of milk and cook until smooth.
Add the carrot pulp, season with salt,
pepper and nutmeg. A little cream Is
a great addition. The onion and pep
per slices are removed before sifting.
OMOKROW is not ours to hold,
' Mav never come to bless
Or blight our lives with weal or 111;
With gladness or distress;
No man shall clasp to-morrow's hand
Nor catch her on the way;
For when we reach to-morrow's land,
She'll be, by then, to-aay.
M. B. Sangater.
Fruit and Nut 8andwich.
For a sandwich that is nice for
nearly every occasion and one uni
versally liked, prepare as follows:
Put through the meat chopper a quar
ter of a pound of blanched almonds,
half a pound of washed flgs, a half
pound of dates and a pound of pecan
nuts. Put them through the chopper,
mixing them as they are ground. Pack
the mixture into a baking powder can,
pressing it down firmly and stand
aside over night. When wanted, dip
the tin in hot water, loosen it with
a knife and shake out the mixture.
With a sharp knife cut Into very thin
ellees and put between rounds of but
tered bread. Serve with chocolate.
Candied cherries, citron, raisins or
other candied fruits may be substi
tuted for the dates and figs. Brazilian
and filberts may be used Instead of a
part of the pecans.
If kept cold this confection will be
good for weeks. It Is very nice served
cut in cubes, and makes a pleasing
variety for the home made candy
box."
Household Hints.
Olive oil is a valuable addition to
the medicine chest. A teaspoonful ta
ken after a meal will relieve dyspep
sia. Mixed with equal parts of lime
water It Is Invaluable for burns.
It Is good to use to massage a dry
Bcalp and for rubbing over the body
after a bath.
Never eat when very tired; one
should always rest before eating. A
glass of hot water or diluted fruit
juice will relieve the faint feeling of
exhaustion.
When the body Is In a state of fa
tigue the whole digestive apparatus
is Incapable of doing efficient work.
Oyster Cromaakies.
These are sometimes called "pigs-In-blankets,"
but the other term belpg
shorter and perhaps more dignified, is
becoming more popular: Scald the
oysters In their own liquor over a
ouick fire. When plump, wrap each
one in a slice of thin bacon and fast
en with a small wooden toothpick.
Cook In the blazer, heated very hot.
Serve on thin rounds of toast. These
cromeskles are easily cooked on a
broiler resting In a dripping pan In
hot oven.

Diet for the Woman Who Would Be
Plump.
Eat plenty of cream, butter, sweet
fruits like grapes, melons, prunes,
peaches and bananas. Milk is said to
be a fine flesh producer if it Is taken
In a systematic way, beginning with
one quart a day, drinking a pint be
fore breakfast and one on going to
bed. It should be sipped slowly as it
forms hard, Indigestible clots in the
stomach If swallowed as one does wa
ter. A tablespoonful of lime water
may be added if milk causes distress.
After a week Increase the quantity to
three r'nts a day, taking one pint at
noon; then take a pint at each meal,
and one at bed time. When the quan
tity Is Increased to three quarts a day,
about as much as the system can use
unless other food is given up. A daily
bath with a vigorous rubbing Is nec
essary when taking large quantities
of milk, as the pores of the body
carry off a large part of the waste
matters and they should be kept open.
Stewed fruit should be eaten to help
remove the remainder of the waste
through the alimentary canal.
After a month's treatment the gain
in flesh will go on rapidly.
For those suffering with Insomnia,
a glass of warm milk on retiring Is
very soothing to the nerves.
A nap in the afternoon, sweets of all
kinds are helpful In putting on flesh.

Orange and Vichy.
A delicious drink can be made from
the juice of two oranges, or a. lemon

ticeably flavoring with onion.
Cranberries stewed in a double boil

the flavor, and the color is much bet
ter, cooked in this way.
If the saucepan in which oatmeal is
cooked is set on the table for Ave min
utes before the contents are turned

ing to the dish to be scraped off.
A broom should always be hung or
stood upside down when not In use.
It will last longer if dipped once

dry thoroughly before it is used.
To boil chicken, lamb or other fresh
meat: Cover the meat with boiling wa
ter, let boll rapidly five minutes, then
keep the water at the simmering
point, or Just quivering at one side of
the saucepan, until the meat Is ten
der. When the meat Is half cooked,
add a teaspoonful of salt for each
quart of water.
If one likes rolls and bread with

The Gold Bug.
Every time we make up our mind
that there's no such thing as pirate
gold burled hither and yon, something
occurs to change our belief and to get
us all on edge again. The recent se
vere storm along the coast of Yuca
tan Is said to have uncovered thou
sands of last century English and
Spanish coins buried by the old pirate
Lafltte, and again into our soul comes
that old boyhood unrest and belief
that if we started out with a proper
digging outfit and a reliable map we
could unearth treasure galore. When
people find a pot of gold, why in the
name of Capt, Kidd can t they keep
still about it and let us 'tend to our
blissful knlttina? Boston Herald.

HE DISCOVERED THE CULPRIT

Not at AH Comforting to the
Teacher.
One of the women teachers went to
the principal of a school In Queen's
borough the other day. "Mr. Mark,"
she said, "I think you had better go
upstairs. A substitute teacher is on
duty up there, and I am afraid she
is having a terrible time. The noise
ia so terrific the children down here
scarcely can study."
The principal went up the stairs two
steps at a time, and the noise soon
ceased. When he returned to the
lower room his face was grim. "Miss
Henderson," he said, "if you hear any
more of those noises let me know at
once."
'Indeed I will," she replied. "It is
imply outrageous that parents should
bring their children up so they will
behave that way. Did you find out
who the children were?"
Yes, I found out," the principal
said, scowlingly. "One Is your nephew
and the other is my son," he replied,
