Looking around, I found that down under a bank a little water ram wag tugging away to lifeand to push water up a hill to a tank that supplied two or three families. They put it in together and shared 'the benefits. Such a ram does not need so much water to operate it as a water wheel does. We get in a hurry most years to turn the cows out to pasture. There is such a thing as hustling them out too soon. Poor grass and little of it doesn't make milk very fast; but it does set the pasture back for a long time to be trodden down too early. All cattle under thirty months old should be vaccinated for black -leg be- fore turning to pasture. If you have never vaccinged, get your county agent to teach you. Take out insur- ance on Ifire stock, a3 well as on buildifigs. • • The road drag should be used after each rain. Don't go on the road while too muddy; let it dry out slightly. Wiien properly used, the drag brings a thin lay& of earth toward the centre of the road, which is rolled and packed between wet periods. If too much crown is secured by dragging, the angle of the drag should be reversed. Getting bhe earth roads graded, ditch- es open, wellArained and properly crowned by dragging, is about all that can be done until the people are reedy to surface the earth with grovel, broken gone or some other surfacing material. .„ Soars that will farrow late spring pigs should -be kept in good condition.

The rate of Seeding is from six to eight pecks of oats and four :or five pounds of Dwarf Bssex rape per acre. The seedbed is pre- -pared the sante as for oats to be harvested for grain, and the crop is planted as soou as the soil ancl wea- ther conditions allow• . With good growing weather this eombination is ready to greze a in'enth or six weeks aftee sowing, 91 when the oath are from four to six' inches high. An acre of good oats Mal rape forage will supply pasture for from twelve to fifteen mature hogs. The oats come on more rapidly than the rape and are eaten off first. 111l the oath begin to head, they furnish pas- ture which the hogs like.

Late afternoon or a cloudy day is the best time for it. This gives the best opportunity to keep the roots from drying out and to allow the plant to recover teem the operation before it is • exposed to the heat ef the sun. Dig a hole large enough to accom- modate all the roots without crowding. Spreading the roots ha this way givee the plant. a bettee chance to collect food and water. Take a single plant from the bucket, being careful not to pulr the roots of the other plugs up out of the water with it, and place it immediately,. n bhe hole.

No hollows nor openings should be left. When, the hole is about half filled, Peck the dirt down firmly with the knuckles. The rest of the dirt may be scraped- in with the spade and tramped down with the foot. It is a good practice to put bhe top soil in the bottom of the hole and fill in with other dirt, This makes the richer soil immediately available for the roots and gives the deeper soil a chance to mellow on the surface. „ • In the ease of ornamental trees and • shrubs, where water is -convenient and the -plants net too numerous, it is a good thing to tioak the ground around *ON qttokt, tho'bottotetto• notto, by harsh purga- tives; they rather eggravete the irouldo. w „ „oe, Let oerS 11 :CCM% •Qbainbarlainis Stomach. and Liyur TablAka, ThuY idir up Om /Nor.

Such careful practice as the above is entirely necessary with 'evergreene if reasonable suceess is exp,ected, It is no essential with broadleaf...dint- bery and hardwood trees, but they are more thrifty when such care is taken.

Invisible Liens on Farms Most people investing in farms are ceutious enough to employ a com- petent lawyer to look into the court records and see that there is no en- cumbrance resting upon the property, such ae unpaid taxes, judgments, mortgagee and liens, of any sort. And even after they are satisfied as -to. all this, they reqeire a deed in which the seller warrants the title free and clear of all enarnhrance,, So far,' so good; but there are in- visible liens or encumbrances of, an, other cheroeter resting . upon many farms,,ankthese deserve consideratien and forethougizt from the prospective buyer. Many men search the, prern- ises carefully, test the soil, look at the growing crops, examine the bnildings minutely, weigh the advantages and disadvantages of being near towel, of being on a pike, and of various other items, all good in: themselves and worthy- of consideration; but these men forget to ask about the neighbors that join on either side, about the spirit of the neighborhood, the educa- tional advantages, the social life and a dozen and one other important things. • Some Renaes Barber Disesise.

One family I know moved into a low; Amp house, In the cellar there was a spring that could not be con- trolled,' and later the family learned that eluting the past decade six people had died of tuberculosis in that house. The walls welt tepapered, it is true, and the few 'wholoWs were opened wide, but the family could not afford a new house, or felt they could net afford it, because they were already in debt. So they lived in ,the house and, tried In vain to sell the ham and get away. Not until two members of their family had died did they get into a better location. It is well to inquire about the health of the people who want to sell, and to examine the basement. mere closely than the` par- lor. before buying. Hew About the Neighbors? Many people unconsciously buy trouble through moving to a place where adjoining neighbors are greedy and troublesome, A than I know moved to a new location, rejoicing in the bargain he had obtained, only to find that two disagreeable neighbors kept bhe community constantly in a turmoil. These inconsiderate nten turned their stock, -out to -gritee, al- lowed their claiejtde to range' at will 111 riewly planted fields, kept floelcs of pigeons to ravego the gardens, guar- reled over line fergres, and generally disturbed the pease.

There are some inen with whom it is simply impos- sible- to join fences without conetant friction. So it is well to look into these matters before investing.

There are in the - family two older sisters and ..one brother, beeides the fathee and mother ' and an aunt. All the members o,f the family have been much intereetad in the baby since her birth and they , have given her a good deal of atten- tion. They are a social family, and . many friends call upon ,thent‘andliiIii go -frequently rd fiat their friends. -Whoevm comes to the house must say something- to Frances and show hew much they think of her by talk- ing muelt to her, taking her in their arms, offering to do this or that for her, and se on. The rnembers of the family like to have people notice, the child bemuse she is such an attrative little thing. But she is causing some apprehension now because whenever anyone -'speaks to -her she says, "No, no," in a petulant voice. If any ques- tion is asked or any advances made toward her, her one response will be, "No no," The parents think she is developing a bad habit and shoeld have some training to correct it. One way to prevent Frances from forming an annoying habit and ac- quiring an irritable disposition'is for the members of the family and all others to leave 'her alone more than they now do. She is being spoiled by over -much attention. Her "No, no," is a kind of protection against the Irritating actions of the people around her. She should be taken only very rarely to neighbors and friends for visits. When friends come to the house she should be kept out of sight for the most part -in her sand -pile or play- ing with blocks Or dolls alene.
