Form of Pngar Beet.
Deep plowing Is generally recom
mended in sugar beet culture. Except
where the subsoil Is very porous It
should be loosened up with the Subsoil
plow. The proper preparation of the
Boll represents a most important fea
ture of sugar beet culture. Trie cut

grown in good soil with a porous sub

Agricultural Courtship, '
A potato went out on a mash,
And sought an onion bed; .
. "That's not for , me!" observed the
squash, - .
And all the beets turned red;
' "Go 'way!" the onion, weeping, cried, '
"Your love I cannot be; '
' The pumpkin be your lawful bride; '
You cantelope with me."
-
But onward still the ruber came,
And laid down at her feet;
"You. cauliflower by any name. l
And it will smell as wheat;
And I, too, am an early rose;
And you Tve come to see;
So don t turn up yonr lovely nose,
But spinachat with me!" ,
"I do not carrot all to wed,
So go, sir, if you please;"
' The modest onion meekly said,
"And lettuce, pray, have peas!
Go, thlk that you have never seen
Myself, or smelled my sigh:
Too long a maiden I have been
For favors in your rye!"
"Ah, spare a cuss!" the tuber prayed;
"My cherry shed bride you'll be! ,
You are the only weeping maid
That's currant now with me!"
And as the wily tuber spoke,
He caught her by surprise,
And giving her an artichoke,
Devoured her with his eyes,

' Ensilage Wagon,
Where there Is a large amount of corn
to be cut up for ensilage, a number of
teams are required, and much speed In
getting the fodder to the cutter from
the field. It ltj often necessary to ex
temporize a wagon to meet the demand.
The cut shows such a device. Two long
pieces of Joist are held the right dis
tance apart by strips" of board nailed
across them. The forward ends are
fastened upon the axle of a pair of
farm wagon wheels, while trucks sup
port the rear ends. A very good load
could be hauled without the trucks by
rounding off the rear ends of the Joist,
so they will drag easily over the

Dishorning may be accomplished by
operating upon the calf when very
young, say from ten to thirty days' old.
Various methods and compounds are
used, several preparations being obtain
able at the stores. A stick of caustic
potash may be used or a mixture made
of two parts of caustic soda, one of
kerosene and one of water. In mixing
the latter, stir together the caustic and
kerosene, then add the water. In ap
plying, trim the hair away from around
the horn buttons, and pat the mixture
on with a rubber cork, being careful
that it does not touch any other part or
the hands. A stick of caustic potash
may be applied In the same way, put
ting on gloves or wrapping the cloth
around the stick to protect the hands.

The Farmer's Day ot Hand.
There is no longer any doubt concern
ing the Immediate outlook for the
farmer. Every indication Is that prices
are going to be fair and the profits from
agriculture such as to make farming a
lucrative occupation. The years Just
past have been such as to try the skill
of the farmers, and those who have not
taken advantage of modern methods
and machinery have had a hard time,
Indeed. - - ...-.;.. ,,v , . '
We do not expect tb have universal
agreement as to "the return bf good
times. When times get so good that
no one will complain that farming does
not pay the millennium will have ar

make money even la the best years.
The average crop of corn in this coun
try Is only twenty-four bushels to the
acre, and the average crop of wheat
one-half this. The average cow makes

Potatoes Make valTjr Butter.
Every farmer who has ever grown po
tatoes knows that they are of little
value for feeding raw to stock, and that
they are especially objectionable as
feed for cows giving milk. We have
known potato peelings to be given to
cows, and while the quantity of milk
was not lessened. Its qunllty was in
jured, as It lacked the tine aroma given
by feeding the cows on grass or com
fodder. The butter made from milk
of cows to which potatoes have boen
fed, is white and salvy, lacking the
grain Which is the characteristic of
eood butter. American Cultivator.
Lime a ft Milk Preservative,
Some of the Chicago papers complain,
and with reason, against the practice of
a few farmers In putting lime in their
milk cans In order to keep the milk
from souring. Salt also Is used by some
for the same purpose. Both lime and
salt are alkaline, and will therefore help
to prevent acidity. But in Just the pro
portion they do this they make the milk
indigestible. W ben put in the stomach
milk becomes acid as the first step to
wards digestion. All alkaline sub
stances are,' for this reason, injurious
when combined with food products.
Goaling and Hackling.
Goslings and ducklings frequently
show signs of lameness when nearly
grown, aud are also afflicted with ver
tigo. The cause Is due to feeding large
ly of grain. During warm weather
they will thrive better If allowed noth
ing but grass. All aquatic birds re
quire bulky substances, and will not
thrive on a diet of concentrated food.
Breeding Stock.
There Is a loss ot vigor and stamina
when Immature animals are used fof
breeding stock. Dams that are grow
ing will cease to grow when nourish
lng their young. Experiments mads
show that the strongest and most rig

parents that are well advanced In life,

If you are iu need of artificial teeth
be sure they are modern and strictly up

This system 'of artificial teeth is more
