-General Farm Notea,
Cut Peed for Horace,
' All farmers use cut feed for horses
wlii'U at hard work, because there ia a
great saving in the labor needed to ill
ge&t cut feed. If mixed with some
grain men I, and wet so that tbe Uienl
can only be got by eating the cut feed
mixed with It, iho whole will be chaw
ed sufficiently to moisten It with saliva,
which Is necetssary to quicken tllgca
tton. But this economy In feeding cut
feed Is also Important when the horse
Is not working. If the cut feed la com
stalks. It should always be steamed or
wet with very hot water, so as to soften
the cut ends of the stalks, which may
cause Injury. This Is best also if hay
or straw is cut, particularly wheat or
rye straw, which belug harder than cut
hay aud less nutritious Is not so likely
io be thoroughly chewed. The stom
ach of the home needs a slight Irrita
tion. This Is the advantage which the
oat has over other gralua. Its hull
helps the grain to digest better, and this
makes the home feel frisky and able to
do his best. It Is an old saying of farm
ers that when an old borse begins to act
and the failure of the vines Just Whet
they are needlug most moisture to pro
(luce the crop. The better way I t
plant the seed In a line along slight
ridge, putting some nitrate of soda un
der the seed, and scattering it very lit
tle of the manure a Utile distance from
the vines, so that when the roots form
on the points, as they will, they will
strike down to tho manure. A very lit
tle manure Is enough to furnish plant
food, and Is better than the large quan
tity that only dries up the ground nud

the corn should be busked, and the

It Is better to make medium-slxed

Early planted corn luia always the
most suckers. That which la planted
lute and usually receives no check lu
Its growth baa fewest. If tbe season
Is entirely favorable, the corn that has
had no check and has therefore few
or no suckers will be the best. Hut If
the season proves unfavorable, the
sucker may play an tmimrtuut part In
Increasing the yield. The sucker la
always later than the main stalk,
though If tbe check to growth
U received from early planting, some
times a very good ear may be grown oil

of grain la grown on corn early planted.
There 1 certainly A greater weight of
talks, and this lucrease the labor of
harvesting the crop.
Preventing; Weeds from Peedlnc.
Iu most sf the States there are strict
laws requiring the supervisor ot high
ways tn each town to see to It that all
weeds are cut at least twice a year,
once In June and again In September,
to prevent them from seeding. They
are not generally enforced as they
should be. Either tbe work Is wholly
unattended to or It fa done so carelessly
as to do little good. It Is lu vain that
farmers try to keep their own fields free
from weeds while weed seeds are pro
duced In neighboring highway to lie
borne by winds to their fields, and per
haps lucrease largely before they are
discovered.
and frequently the predominenoe of
"black aand," aa tbe iron grain are
called, caused it to be thrown out on
account ot its great weight and dark

were separated from the sand by a

ported that the iron waa 69 per cent
pure and was of first-class quality.

o winter gram inouia oe cross
drilled. It is doubtful whether there
are any advantages In cross drilling
grain at any season. Tbe ebnek to
growth In tbe drill furrow Is only
enough to save the grain from becom
ing too vigorous and being thereby at
tacked with rust. Tbe particular ob
jection to cross drilling winter grain Is
that half the seed is double covered
and Is burled under the ridge made by
the second drilling. We tried this once.
and found that the first drilling was
entirely winter killed, or so nearly so
that very little grain could be found
except In the last drill row. The
checkered appearance of a cross-drilled
grain crop makes It look fine when the
plants come np, but the crop Is never
afterwards so good as that when tbe
seed Is drilled all one way.
The Care of Honey.
Honey has a great affinity for moist
ure, and If comb boney Is stored In a
damp atmosphere It will absorb tbe
moisture through the slightly porous
capping and become tbln and watery.
Tbe bulk of tbe honey will be so in
creased that It will burst tbe cells aud
ooze out. The boney may become so
thinned that fermentation will set In.
Cold Is also detrimental to comb boney,
causing It to candy In the cells. When
comb honey Is first taken from the
hives, It should be stored In a warm,
dry atmosphere. A room In the south
west corner of a building where It will
become very hot In the afternoon Is a
good place to store It. The heat con
tinues the ripening process, and if
there are any unxealcd cells, the boney
In them becomes thicker and riper In
stead of thinner. Down cellar Is where
the ordinary purchaser of comb honey
Is almost sure to put It. No place '
could be more undesirable for keep
ing comb honey. As ordinarily kept.
comb honey will candy before spring,
but by keeping It In a warm atmos
phere It will not candy, and will really
Improve with time.

Care must be taken to see that the

To churn easily and make good but

hours old. Keeping milk too long and
