mainder about two inches apart.
Garden beets may be aimilarly handl-

skoulti be about four inches. As beet
tops make a very delicious early
green vegetable, thinning should be
done so that these tops may grow -to
a useable size. The soil should• be
kept cultivated and never allowed to
bake or harden. This is particularly
true with peas and beans if a tenaer,
succulent crop is desired, • Beans,
however, should not he cultivated:

as the plants; if injured tinder these
conditions, are particularly subject
to bean rust (the spores cif this die -

Corn that has been sown in hills
should be thinned to three or four
plants to a hill, if the hills are two

To figure the numbet of loads of

tance around .the wall, plus the
length of the cross walls -if there
happen to be cross walls -in feet, by
the height in feea by the thickness
of the wall in feet, and divide by 27.
To the retult it is always advisable
to add about 10 per cent, for waete

in addition to the pasture crops, At
present prices of grain feeds it will
probably pay to feed from one to
ofie and cine -half pounds of grain
daily to each spring pig that has the
run of seitable • grass and forage
crops. If the pasture crops fail to
make satisfactory growth more
grain must be supplied, for there is
no economy in allowing the pigs to
become unthrifty before the corn
crop is ready.
Still farther economies., in feeding
may be made by turning the pigs on
the field as soon as the corn is fit for
"hogging clown." This will save a
number of days' time and more feed-
ing value will be. obtained from the
field than by huslcing the cor» and
feeding it to the pigs later in the
season.
advantage: Each fowl can pick out
the grain most needed. This was
called to the attention of the writer
by seeing a hen that was out of con-
dition. She would not eat corn read-
ily, but would pick out the grain she
was in need of, Corn seems to be
the grain most desired by poultry,
but too -much has a tendency to put
on fat rather than produce • eggs.
Therefore,' if the hens are given a
mixed -grain ration, after consuming
the core in the mixture they will
select from the other grains those
-best suited to their needs,

life without which there would be
no hope, for that is the seedtime of

order that God has made.
• How long it is in coming! A lit-
tle eboot appears through the ground,
to be eure, but•no one would call that
an oak tree. You could snip it off
with two' fingers. Another year
passes, and you Molt at it again. It
is a little larger than before, but
still not an oak tree. An oak tree
should be, two or three feet in diam-
eter and strong, like a pillar of
marble. This is no larger than a
man's thumb.
A generation has passed away. The
small boy who saw the acorn fall
and who watched it grow year after
year is an old, white-haired man now,
sitting on the porch of his home. Out
in the yard children are playing.
They are his gmandchildren. They
have -a swing hung front the limb of
a great oak tree, and in the shade of
its wide -stretching foliage they have
their playground.
How happy they are! How many
jolly times they have had under that
tree! About it have, gathered all
the joys of childhood. The oak tree
has a place in their lives with father
and mother ancl home. It has al-
ways been there, to them; but the old
man, in his reverie on the porch,
remeinbers the fall of the acorn and
the years of a long life that have pas-
sed while the harvest of that seecl-
time was coming to perfection.

Canada to leave the hay crops to
eat mini) too long, There Are, as
matter of fact, a• large number
farmers who delay the cutting of t
hay crop far beyond .the time wh
it would pay them the most to et
In many cases the reason for t
delay is. that ,a general belief
that, a someWhat increased. tonnage
matt be secured if cutting is .postpinl-
ed, and in other:casee the late cdtting
is practiced because it is even be-
lieved that m better quality of hay
May ,beaolittained than if the cutting
were done'earlier,
In the case of Eastern Canada,
where mixed clovev and timothy; or
timothy alone, •are the funclainental
hay plants, a few suggkstions based
on experience may be found not to be
out ot order.
Timothy and red clover are th
standard hay plants which universe
ly are grown together. The clover
contributieg the bulk of the hay aro
the year after seeding, aria the the
othy is furnishingt the bulk of th
hay the following year or years. Sup
posing that a fanner hat a field, o
mixed clover and timothy, wha
would be the best time for him t
cut it for hay? The clover develop
=lily and is ready to cut some On
before the timothy has reached it
best stage, Shall the farmer cut th
h,ay when the red cloverals in it
;Mille, or shall he wait until th
timothy is at its best? The 'tame
is: Cut when the clover is at it
best, notwithstanding that the tim
othy mixed with it may not be as wel
developed as might bo desired, fo
the reason that the clover is the MOT
valuable part of the mixture. 33
cutting early, the clover is given
thanee to recuperate and to prod=
O remunerative second crop, which i
might fail to do if the cutting fo
hay is delayed too long for the sake
of the timothy.
In case tiniothy forms the prineipa
part of the .hay crop, which it gen
erally does two years or more aftei
seeding to hay, it is important to
handle it for hay in' a proper Man
ner. Timothy like most other grasses
has a period of its e'wn when it has
the kreatest feeding' value and when
he bay made from it is apt to
ermath the maximum feeding value
er acre, This period is the time taf
blossoming. At that time, timothy is
tidiest in flesh and milk producing
onstituents and, if cut for hay when
ti bloom, the best quality 'bay may
onsequently he realized. It is a wits-
ake to believe that better crops may
e secured -If cutting is somewhat
cleared. Some slight increase in the
ield may be obtained but what is
ained quantity is lost in quality

'Under the circumstances, early
utting of timothy for hay must of
eceseity be recommended as the
ost economical method of securing
a hay of the highest possible value,

.A Handy 'Tool for Farmers.
One of the tools that always i
thought of as a•mechanicts tool is a c
hack saw. Now I find that such a t
saw is about the handiest tool I have
around the fartn. si
They cost front 50 cents to $1. for y
•,a good frame and some blades, and g
save that in time and bother in a little •
while. I like the adjustable frame,
as it will take most any length of a
blade. It is also handy to buy longer a
blades matt then, if they break, bore m
O hole through the end and use the
shoot piece. For my own work, how-
ever, I like to bey the short blades -
eight inches Or less -as they do not
break so gutckly. The breakage is a
more of the expense than the wear-
ing out. • . a
There is a blade on the market P
which does not break easily. It is
called flexible. It will bend a good
deal beiore breaking, and will be
serviceable until worn 'out.
I find that the number of points or P
_teeth to the inch makes a difference ca
in the cutting. Vatil lately I have Iv
had .14 points to the inch. Now I get g
24 points, and lake it better for every
kind of work.
Any bolt that turns in the wood
that it holds together, or a piece of
iron, --can be quickly cut Off with a
hack saw, / have cut small pipe§ off

Beware of the Plane.
To the curriculum of elementary
schbols, particularly those in rural
parts, might usefully be added instruc-
tion on the habits of aeroplanes says
a writer in the Leaden Daily Chronicle.
it sometimes happens that a pilot, ow-
ing to engine trouble or mist, is oblig-
ed to make o forced landing. Any
children in the neighborhood take it
for granted that be is doing this out
of the kindness of his heart for their
entertainnzent, and flock to the spot,
prepared to give him a warm tvelcome.
In that ease his chef= is between a.
slaughter of the innocents and a crash.
The young idea should be impressed
with the knowledge that an' aeroplane
is a thing to flee from unless It is at
rest on the ground.

stools ave curdta loose and foul. The
fever is moderate and the child _fret-
ful. The stools soon change 'fo a
