BII,A.GI AND GREEN CROPS --GARDEN HI:iTS----TIMET,Y NOTES. A lawn mower that will cut high grass, will become a favorite, but it 'may* lead to negligence of the lawn on the part of some. Turkeys hatched as late as July ` 1st will make profitable birds, though for heavy -weights the earlier they are hatched the better. Cultivate often. It warms the soil in early spring. It allows even Light rains to permeate the soil and retains the moisture for use in sunnuer. The basis of a nation's prosperity is the broad shoulders of its farms. Place burdens on these shoulders and all others will be weighed down and times will be hard. i Milk and eggs are two articles that always sell for cash, and they enable the farmers to receive daily! returns. He does not have to wait for harvest time with such products. It is usually a foolish waste of money to feed a dry cow through a long winter; more is to be made by selling both cow and feed. Few cows are good enough to keep unless they are giving milk liberally. Improved breeds of cattle are regarded with favor because they have large feeding capacity. The "breed and the trough" can only be combined by selecting stock that snakes the most gain from the food. The man who knows and appre- ciates just when to use the roper and the harrow upon the ground for its best good and the good of his crop, is well abreast of the best thought of the age in matters of soil tillage. Potato beetles will leave potatoes to attack egg plants. They seem to have greater partiality for egg plants than for anything else, though they will also feed on tomato plants if potatoes are not up and growing. Sow the cabbage seed for your late plants. Make a bed on the open ground use fine, well -rooted manure, and sow the seed in rows. so as to permit of keeping the grass and weeds out of the way of the young plants. A pig farrowed in April should reach 200 lbs before Christmas, and the clover field is the best place for it. Give growing pigs a mess of bran and skim milk at night, and they will need but little other food if they have the run of a ,,lover field. i The best varieties of plums are very profitable, and fruit growers are of the unaninious opinion that curculio is a thing now not much to be dreaded when plums are planted; in large quantities its ravages are hardly felt. It is the isolated tree which suffers. At the agricultural experimental station, at Campaign, Ill., they have f tested the methods of corn culture for five successive years. Faithful s trials with surface culture and deep culture of this plant have resulted quite favorable to the method of i l;<ha1le,w cultivation. I e Winter wheat is one of the hardest e of chips, and unless attacked by in- ' 1 Sects seldom fails to produce faifly well in yields. For that reason a wheat will receive attention on many farms and can be relied upon as' being sure to return something in the t shape of straw and grain. !s Use a crowbar in setting up the 0 Lima bean poles, and stick them n down deep enough to protect them against the winds. Much careless- 1' ''less is sometimes noticed in the placing of the poles, and when a few of them fall down they cause the T entire garden to appear unsightly. Survival of the fittest is the law of business and trade.. It is Nature's s° law, Poor farmers will be squeezed i 112 to death. There is no way to pre- ! ventit. The poor merchant goes flown, and the shiftless machine I sl lever gets ahead ; the same rule ! must work with the tiller of the soil. w Molter, by increasing the fertility II ('the 0011, enables the farmer to A keep more stook, which also adds to n the bulk of the iiia pure heap, It is m it the t allure that the wealth of the fe If you want early strawberrie next spring, and can spare the space let the bed remain over until th following year.

But never use a horse be- t , cause he is standard bred or fast an- e less you are breeding solely for ( speed; and I contend that the. aver- age farmer is wasting his time and energy in breeding for speed, a there is great uncertainty in attain ing it. It is very expensive to de velop, and of uncertain value when acq aired. Breed something that the marke calls' for, and in aiming at this the use of the trotting bred sire is often satisfactory. if he is a shapely, stylish horse, with substance and good action, high, and true knee action, it enhances a horse's value in the market. Trotting sires that go wide behind, and don't bend their hocks and get their hind legs well under then. in travelling, are not likely to get progeny that will take the market well nowadays. Harness horses that stand from fifteen -two to sixteen hands are in most demand and bring the highest prices in the market. Horses exceed- ing sixteen hands are becoming less popular every day, and are conse- quently difficult to sell. Stoutly built horses, from four- teen -two to fifteen -two, sell fairly well, particularly if they have un- usual style and action, but a good big one is usually worth more than a good small one. The judicious infusion of thorough- bred blood is calculated to do much good in the country. Marketable progeny often result .from its use, and as a basis for breeding to sires of other breeds is invaluable. The substance, style, and action in the ' hackney proves most valuable in the production of high class horses. The hackney, however, .usually requires to be plated with a mare that pos- sesses a fair supply of warm blood in her in order that. the offspring May show quality. Very satisfactory results . are at- tained from crossing the hackney on trotting bred mares, and also mares with a considerable infusion of thorouglibred blood. Good coach stallions are very scarce in Canada, but overgrown, coarse and defectively formed ones are unfortunately too plentiful, and the progeny of many coach horses lack stamia and quality. Many of • them show some style and action, but are too leggy and light middled, with unduly upright and short pas - iterns, coarse skin in their legs, and puffy hocks. If a breeder can find a good specimen, without prominent defects, and mate him with a mare with a good deal of warm blood in her, the results are often very satis- factory. This is, an opportune time of year for farmers to seriously consider this I matter and duly ponder over the i question as to whether they are wise or not in losing another year, if they have mares likely to produce useful and marketable stock, for the de- mand is going to increase and prices are certain to go up. --h. C. Greta side, V. S., in The Mail and Empire. When a man is buying an animal of good blood he is buying one of good traits and good habits, capable of transmitting the same to other generations, but let it drop from. these habits, deterioriation at once sets in, and it is only a matter of time until it has reached a common level with the veriest scrub..

ISAAC TAYLOR, Rothsay, Ont. Farm Notes From the Rural Canadian. exclusive farm work the medium weight horse will live longer and prove more profitable than the little animals which are too light to pull a heavy load, or the large ones which are too heavy to trot without injuring their feet. Canada is becoming more and more prominent as a wheat exporting country. The western portion of our Dominion yet contains the largest undeveloped wheat area remaining upon the globe. Do not be afraid of the little side issues on the farm. There is money even in the diversity of garden truck for the farmer. By all means have a good garden. With milk, butter, fruit and fresh vegetables the farmer's home is a place of luxuries, envied even by city people. Many women are becoming in- terested in poultry who have before been utterly weary of the drudgery of the farm, for it not only interests them, but brings then many a dollar of their own. It is certainly a wise move when they turn over the heated kitchen to hired help and give themselves a little of the delight of outdoor life. The introduction of clovers into general use upon our farms has been slow because of the high price of seed and the difficulty of getting a stand sometimes. Our better ac- quaintance with it and with its value as a forage crop is overcoming this, and the general use of the crop will make good seed plenty and cheap. Average soils contain an abund- ance of plant food, but is requires to be put in such condition that the growing vegetation can get at it. Constant cultivation not only brings resh sustenance , to the' rootlets, but moisture is also increased near the urface, so that the elements become soluble and available. Many a man who is making dairy - ng a side issue, and a much neglect - d one at that, by keeping a few ill ared for cows on a good sized farm, s astonished at the man who can keep a goodly number on a few Cres. The whole secret is in the man and his intensified farming. Nature puts a premium upon in- elligent methods in the tilling of the oil.

One great leading ftict. should always control the patron of a crea- mery or cheese faetory in bis manage- ment of leis farm and his cows, It is this. The market price of butter cannot be controlled by the producer of milk, But the cost of producing that milk is very largely within his control. It makes a great difference to hien whether he keeps a cow whose butter cost 12 cents a pound to produce, or one whose butter- cost 20 cents. It will make another great dif- ference to him whether lie manages his farm so as to produce nearly all the necessary food his cows require, or whether he pays out a good por- tion of his butter money every year for that food. s It will make another great dif- - ference to him whether he studies how to feed the cow- in the way a dairy core should be fed, or whether he handles that food wastefully or t without proper knowledge of how a dairy cow should be fed. Quaint Proverbs. Each vine needs its stick. One cap is worth one hundred hoods. Love and musk soon betray them- selves. A girl that spins thinks of her wedding dress. A man is never too old to love or commit nonsense. "But sister, he is blind !" "So much the better!" People in love believe everybody else can't see. People in love have bells dangling from their eyes. The favor of woman makes a knight of a cow -herd, Love is discovered easier than a hole in the stocking. A man in love doesn't need eye- glasses—for he is blind. It will make another great dif- ference to him whether he handles and cares for his cows as a skillful dairyman should, or whether he sheds admonition and instruction as "a duck sheds water," It is these four great differences : 1. Good dairy cows. 2. Good farm management in the production of food. 3. Skill and understanding in feeding cows. 4. Intelligent dairy handling of cows that constitute the difference to- day all over the country between the successful dairyman and the man who says "dairying don't pay." Here lies all the law and gospel of good dairy farming.—Board's Dairy- man. . How to Pack Butter. Writing of putting down butter for fall and winter, L. J. Child, a leading buttermaker of New York state, says: "We churn to granules, wash well with clear water, also with brine of moderate strength. Having'scalded our tubs we put in salt to the depth of two inches, which we cover with parchment butter paper. The butter granules are the n carefully placed in the tub and strong brine is •poured over them. Care must be taken that the, butter is con- tinually under the brine, which may contain a little saltpetre. When the butter is wanted for use or market, the butter is removed from the tub and washed in pure water. It is then churned in sweet skim -milk (made ice cold so the butter will not gather) until the butter has acquired a new flavor. 'Wash with water at 62 01? but don't over wash ; salt, work and pack as usual. With proper care May and June butter may be thus kept from •four to eight months, and ours so treated has taken first pre- mium." This would appear to be a valuable pointer in butter -making and we would be glad to hear of some of our good butter -makers test- ing it with success. Curious Defeats of Memory. It would afford material for an entire paper to study the defects of memory and to describe some of the curiosities of thinking which result from such defects. A writer in the Popular Science Monthly says that he saw lately a business man of keen mind and good general memory, who was not paralyzed in any way, and was perfectly able to understand and to talk, but who had suddenly lost a part of his power of reading and of mathematical calculation. The letters d, g, q, x and y, though seen perfectly, were no longer recognized, and conveyed no more idea to him than Chinese characters would to us. Ile had great difficulty in reading—had to spell out all ,words, and could not read words containing these letters. He could write the letters which he could read, • but could not write the five letters mentioned. Ile could read and write some numbers, but 6, 7 and 8 had been lost to him; and when asked to write them his only result, after many attempts, was to begin to write the words six, seven or eight, not being able to finish these, as the first and last contained the letters (x and g) which he did not know. Ile could not add 7 and 5 together, or any two numbers of which G, 7 or 8 formed a part, for he could not call then' to his mind, 9 Other numbers e he knew well. Ile could no longer. tell time by the watch. �� GIiOrC S�TtIND rto�la'. ,OI. livor a week after' the onset of the LARGES` SALE IN CANADA.
