"' ':' - Markstabla Hay :' There may be markets that will take tb richest bay at a sufficient advance lu price to repay the farmer for fur nishing it, but I know ot none, and am sure that there are not many. It sells by color, and there la more danger of having some of the hay blackened and dusty when the grass Is cut In full bloom than when It la sufficiently ma ture to require only a short exposure to the weather In the swath. It Is a big and risky job to cure a large amount of trass that Is as full ot sap as tim othy In full bloom, and consumers In most local markets are not Inclined to pay for all the extra labor, risk and loss In weight ot the total product due to early cutting. Dead-ripe timothy Is not wanted, ot course, and Its color con demns It, but there la a middle ground which should be taken. There may be glory In furnishing the market with timothy cut when In full bloom, but there Is rarely any profit from the ex tra effort and risk.'1 In the long run just as attractive and more profita ble lot of hay may be put upon the mar ket when the bloom Is shed. Tne feed ing value Is less, but this Is doing unto others as they would do nnto us, which Is the stiver rule of commercial trans actions. National Stockman. Green Fodder for Coam. . Early fodder-corn, when eaten by the cows, will make a satisfying feed, and It will also largely Increase the quan tity of milk. Fodder feed when half grown or Immature It very poor feed, ts It Is mostly water. The cows will consume a large amount of such fod der, and give a very email Quantity ot milk. Oive to each cow four quarts of mill feed. In the morning, when they are being milked: then turn to pasture. At noon give each cow an armful ot the fodder, spread over the pasture, tnd the same quality of mill feed made Into slop, and one armful of fodder; iter the mill feed and fodder Is eaten, turn out upon the night pasture. If the cows bave to be kept In the etable- rard, give them, la addition, a small forkful of oat bay, or well-cured clover bay. The cowa must be given all they can eat On such a ration, good cows will average from two and one-half to three gallons of milk per day all through the summer, and the milk will be of good flavor and rich In cream. As fast as the fodder-corn ts cut off, the ground between the rows should be well worked up with the cultivator, and then run out with the one-borse plow, making the furrow about five Inches In depth, and sowed to fodder corn. Sow one large handful of bone phosphate to every three feet of row, snd about twelve grains of corn to the foot Cover the corn as fast as It Is town.' ' It will pay to keep the cows In good condition; If they are allowed to be come thin. It will take a targe quantity of grain to get tbem In order for the winter. The American. riearlner Fence Corner Nothing more clearly- shows the painstaking and careful farmer than to bare fence corners between fields or along tbe roadside kept free from weeds, grass or shrubs. As a rule all the old-time fence corners were kejrt scrupulously clean. A good deal ot valuable bay was made from what the scythe reached In and cot there. But wben the horse mower and the self binding reaper came Into nae.1t every year became harder to find anybody who could be hired to clear out tbe fence corners. Tbe result was that tbe ax rather than tbe scythe was requir ed, and the growth, Instead of being restricted to fence corners, encroached each year more on the cultivated fields.

Massachu setts Ploughman, To Ward Off Fruit Bot " When fruit rot has attacked the peach crop, the best method is to re move and burn all dried or mummified fruit from the trees, in winter, and spray early In spring with bluestone. When the fruit buds begin to swell, spray with Bordeaux mixture, and again just before the blossoms open. Repeat tbe spraying when the blos soms are falling, adding a little parts green to keep off the curcnllo. Two weeks later, spray again. As the Bor deaux mixture coats tbe fruit with the lime mixture, use copper acetate, a colorless solution, for the last two sprayings. In Delaware, a ten-fold in crease of sound fruit baa been ob tained by tbls process, at a cost of about 12 cents per tree. The Agricul turist. ' Ent br tha Ponnd. If eggs were sold by the pound it would revolutionize the breeds. As we have before shown, the ben that lay the largest number of eggs may not really be performing as much ser vice as one that lays fewer eggs, but which are of larger size. Suppose a hen lays 120 eggs In a year, tbe eggs averaging ten to the pound, her prod uct would be twelve pounds of eggs In one year. Now, let ns suppose that an other hen in the flock laid 104 eggs, the eggs averaging eight to tbe pound. In the first case the ben that produced 120 egg would be the mont valuable, yet she has not performed as much ser vice as tbe one which produced but 104 eggs, as the eggs of the latter are a pound heavier, and, If eggs ware sold by wwlght, the would give ft larger profit on fewer egg. Bellini egs by weight give both the producer and tbe coMUUMMf ft fair sale and purchase, and farmer would begin to eelect the breed that produced large egg. They would then be compelled to Improve their flocks in order U secure the best market price for their eggs.-1'oultry Keeper. ... .;. - Veatltstloa ef Horse Stable. It takes good deal of care to keep the horse stable wet and fit for btwUthy Uvhw during the aununer on. U-leea it Is quickly covered with earth, gypsum or something equally efficient Ui absorbing odors, the decom posing uiaoiure will not wily waste iu luoula, but It will be worse than waft ed because It will Injure the health and estpec tally the eytwlght of animals. Many a home haa gone blind because ot the Ruuiuvala affecting his eyes In poorly veavtlUited and dark stables. This Is the chief advantage of underground stables Ui summer. They are cool, but It ia very bard to keep tlnm well rem ain tod and without offensive siiu-11.

Blwe Orsaa Paatnre, There is no better pasture grass than the blue grass, which In some parts ot the country Is known as June grass, Its roots run near the surface, and the pasture ts therefore sweet and good so soon as the grass starts. In midsum mer these shallow roots bave auotlter great advantage. They are benefited by tbe light rains which only penetrate one or two Inches, and which will not reach down to tbe clovers, whose roots strike down Into the subsoil In time of run more deeply. The clover root strike down into the subsoil in time of drought, and the clover grown then la beat With June grass the best pas ture Is In June, as later tt will prob ably be dried out too much. , Remedy for Pear Blight. A remedy for pear blight, and one that la very Important If it acconipltwh es wbat Is claimed for It, Is given by u fruit-grower of thirty years expe rience. He states that he use salt, ac cording to the slxe of tbe tree, from one quart to one bushel, evnly spread on the ground, extending beyond the raawe of the roots. It should be done in the spring, just as the frost is lo-ar log the ground, so that tbe fiber roots will carry it to the sap. The salt de stroys tbe gernvs of the disease. ' It should be done at kast before Hie bud begin to swell, and the fruit-grower who give the valuable information advises each grower to iry the remedy with a stiagle tree, and the cost of the experiment will not be over 10 cents, The remedy is so simple thiit any one can give It test, and as the salt will destroy some ot the tntt.ct enemies It will at least prove beunflclnl In that respect To Kill the llornflr. Tbe betel way of fighting (he trouble some horn fly Is by the application to the rattle ot an emulsion of some kind which will kill the Insects already there, and keep others away. Fish oil, to which a little carbolic acid about a tablespoonful of the acid to a pint of the oil has been added, makes a very cheap and effective application. Ker osene emulsion used as a spray Is also good, being especially adapted to large herds. Tbe emulsion Is made by add ing a half pound of soap (dissolved In a gallon of boiling water) to two gal lons of kerosene. This emulsion, wben thoroughly mixed and allowed to cool, assumes tbe consistency of clabber milk; wben used as a spray, It Is di luted with water In which tobacco stems have been boiled.
