I Making the Little Farm Pay By C C BOWSFIELD WHETHER gardening Is conduct ed for profit or merely for exer cise and pleasure, one needs to do tbe right thing at the right time. It may be taken for granted that a majority of those who take up the work desire both profit and pleas ure. A common source of failure Is sourness of the soil, which Is found in some of the places that ore almost wholly shaded during the months which In tervene between the growing seasons and which also lack a free circulation of air. Wood ashes and slaked lime are good for this aud are also a most excellent fertilizer. A peck of ashes well mixed with a wagon load of soil Is the gardener's rule, but for small beds spade the ground deeply, and after breaking up the lumps uud rak ing thoroughly scatter ashes or lime evenly over the surface until It is as white as after a light snowfall; then rake it well. This should be doue be fore planting time or as soon as the ground can be worked. It is best to have the plowing doue in the fall Success In the vegetable garden de pends largely uKn thorough and fre quent tillage. The tillage should be gin as soon as the plants can be seen and should be repeated at intervals of about one week throughout the season. Much labor will be saved by substitut ing a wheel hoe for the hand hoe for stirring the soil close about the plants while they are small and by using a horse for cultivating between the rows wherever there Is sufficient space. If these methods are employed the most Irksome features of vegetable garden ingthe weeding and tedious hand tillage will be eliminated. As soon as the heavy frosts are over and the ground is tillable we may plant onions, lettuce, spinach.rad!shes, beets, parsnips, carrots, parsley and peas. The normal season for planting these crops is when the farmer is sow ing his oats. The warm season crops are subject to injury by frost and cannot safely be planted until the weather is com paratively warm. The different crops in this group, however, differ in re spect to the intensity of heat they re quire. Thus sweet corn and string beans are usually planted early in May; lima beans, tomatoes, cucum bers, melons and squashes are planted from one to two weeks later, while : sweet potatoes and eggplants should ' be kept in tbe hotbed until the last of May or the first week in June. Lettuce can be grown successfully on poor soil, but only through the ear ly spring and the late fall, as the ground becomes so hot that it will burn in the bead, and then it is ruin ed for market On rich land there is always a certain amount of moisture that remains in the soil, and then the evening dews help to keep the ground ooL Keep tbe land free from weeds. Where garden peas and beans are grown earliness and tenderness are greatly desired as well as flavor. These qualities will be found where a good supply of nitrogen and phosphoric plant food is available. A suitable fertilizer for these crops is 600 pounds per acre carrying 4 per cent nitrogen, 8 per cent phosphoric acid and 10 per cent potash. Tomatoes, corn and potatoes enjoy a medium long season of growth; there fore it is necessary that they have a sufficient supply of the correct food elements to satisfy their requirements throughout their growing season. Tbe market demands a smoothly formed, solid, well colored tomato and Juicy yet well filled corn. Potato growers of the famous Aroos took district of Maine practice a three year rotation of corn, clover and po tatoes. By this means it is evident that the organic matter of the soil is maintained. When the potatoes are planted it is the custom to apply as high as 1,500 to 2,000 pounds per acre of a fertilizer analyzing 4 per cent ni trogen, 6 per cent phosphoric acid and 10 per cent potash. For Cows and Calves. Strong brine thickened with soft soap makes a good mixture to rid cows and calves of Ilea I-H-I-I-I-I-l "l-l-I-I-l"!-! II 111 11 tW A QUESTION OF BREEDING. Pure bred chickens are all right, but the question is, Shall the farmer make feathers aud fancy points of primary or sec ondary importance? It is not worth while to talk about fancy points unless tbe farmer can be shown that there is some con nection between them and pro ductive qualities. He is not con cerned about such things, but he is concerned about supplying the market with poultry and eggs. H-W"I"I-H"t-ll-l"l"l"l"I"M-I"l--H"l-H-l- HOT IN RAISING HEAVY DRAFTERS The big horse Is at the top of the equine heap. He Is in demand every where, says Better Farming. Of course one cauuot raise big horses from ponies. The first essential Is good draft breeding. The mares should be mated to the pure bred stallion, which weighs around a ton and is sound. And the more drafty are the mares, the more drafty the colts will be. Ev ery farm should have work mares of high grade or pure bred draft breed ing. They should do the work handily and raise valuable, high priced colts besides. But some farmers mate their mares to big draft stallions and then raise mediocre small colts. Why is that? It Is usually a question of not enough feed. After all, wise feeding is the pre requisite to raising big horses. A farmer who is stingy with his feed had better try something else than the draft home business. First of all the dams of tbe colts should be well fed, so that nursing will Good big horses are scarcer than they ever were, nnd KeUUngs of any kind weighing 1,700 pounds and over are remarkably hard to find, say ing nothing of those that have qual ity. Breeding heavy horses secma to be going out of fashion. As they become scarcer price are likely to advance, and therefore the farmer who produces the good ones with big weight will be the fellow who gets the big money. be a profitable occupation for tho youngsters. Then colts should be given a handful of graiu na soon as tbey will take it, not much, but enough to tench them to eat it By weaning time they should be eating oats, bran, some com and alfalfa, so that they will Buffer no setback when the mother's milk is stopped. They should have the run of a paddock. The more outdoors, except In Inclement weather, the better. They should be grown under natural condi tions. A colt should never be overfed, but always have just what It will clean up heartily. If he gets out of condition give a laxative and a hot bran mash. Keep him in perfect health and always ready to eat. Then keep liberal amounts of feed before him. The buyer will come to lead him out of the pasture at a handsome price. It pays to feed draft bred colts liberally. SUGAR BEETS FOR HOGS. Roots Provide a Valuable Addition to tho Winter Ration. All tbe root crops are valuable in tbe feeding of live stock. In countries where root crops are easily grown they are fed In large quantities, and it has been found that a pound of dry matter contained in tbe average root crop is equal in feeding value to a pound of dry matter In corn or similar concen trated feeds. Tbe sugar beet is richer in feeding value than most of tbe other root crops, due to tbe fact that It contains a large amount of sugar, says the Kansas Farmer. Sugar beets will form a very valuable addition to tbe diet of the bogs during tbe winter season and, when grain feeds are scarce, might be relied upon quite largely in the winter ing of stock bogs. They can best be preserved by storing them In some sort of root cellar or pit In the ground. It is necessary to prevent tbem from freez ing, and stored in this way they will re tain their succulence through tbe win ter season. Examine the Horse's Teeth, Not very many of us pay as much attention to the mouths of our horses as we should. Good mouths in our horses would prevent many cases of Indigestion, colic and lack of energy. Examine the horse's mouth and see that the teeth are in smooth working condition. If there are rough edges of tbe teeth that will lacerate the cheeks and tongue have them filed down by a competent veterinarian. This will allow the full chewing of the food aud Improve the general health of the horse. Decayed teeth frequently cause an overgrowth of the corresponding teeth on the opposite set and this over growth should be leveled down so as to permit the uppers and lowers to come together and present a perfect grinding surface. Causa of Crumbly Butter. The crumbly condition is caused by working the butter when too cold. If worked as soon as possible after churning the butter will generally be warm enough to work nicely after washing with cold water. If worked too warm a salvy, sticky texture will be produced, so one must guard j against this extreme also.
