FARM WORE IN BUMMER.
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

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

i for a holse,to be standard bred Or to
e be fast. 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

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.

Good. Dairy Farming.
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
