' Many a nut is not wliat it wan cracked up to be. Virtue is its own reward, but a lit tle oash helps out. Many of the troubles that wo soe coming down tho road toward our farm pass by without stopping. In these times of high price every body has to pay. liven the oyster is oompolled to shell out. Two good eyes to a hill of potatoes are a "plenty. We make a mistake many times in seeding too heavily. Good stocky shoots aro better than spindling ones. Neighbors may Have a nice bit of monoy by putting; their ordors together aud buying a largo quantity of grass seed or other farm necessaries. Nice to think that farniors have confidence in each other to do that. Ho natural is it when one man makes a pretty good thing of aur one orop. for everybody to ruth in and try to do just as he has done ! The bent way, though, is to take it stt udy. If you do venture into a strange crop, do it conservatively. The middlo course is always beet in all snob things. Don't think the old orchard 1h past liope. If too thick, thin out tlio trees. Glean out all bad limbs. Spray and cultivate Feed ph'iity of stable manure and in nine cases out of teu, the old orchard will pay for itself ten times over. Take care of it, be good to it, it pays. Can tiie onion orop bo? best grown from sets? The tendency now is to this method making tho onion a two year crop. The seed is sown thickly tlio first year aud the hiiihII onions kept over are put out early in the spring. They make a larger ouiou than seed sown the same year and ma ture earliurr Growing sets for mar ket is prolitahle. but it is an industry whtoh is not wide spread. It centers largely about two oitios, Louisville and Chicago. The yield is sixty-five barrels per an re aud tlio price varies greatly. But the ohsorvor must con clude that it pays, because the busi ness is extending e"ory year. It is estimated tliut lil'toeu thousand acres are now devotod to growing onion sets for market. It is hard to decide which is the best fruit, for as the stars whi'ih differ in glory are all fine, so with fruit However, a peach is best until a luscious plum is ottered. Thou re serve lire until a juicy pear melts in your mouth like a song in the oar aud finally s"ll out to the all conquer ing apple, t'i'o say which is the finest peach, plum or pear is as hard as to award the pulm of beauty to just one of tho three graces It is safe to say that the peach is finest until you hit the plum, and tho plum goes down when the near comes. But after all the apple painted by a sun brush, aoross a ninety million mile gulf raises the nnti and bursts the bank. The epxert's way of growing celery is to sow seed thinly, so that tlio plants as iticy come i.p are never crowded. Then when they are about an inch high, and beginning to cowd a litlla transplant them, to very lieh ground, and givo each plant a ti.il inch of space. In this way, when tho time comes for the field, evory plant will be vigorous, tho wlieh set will be Of even grow th. Now, given right conditions, of good soil, and sniflcioitt molsturo, the crop will rush toma turity.

The floors should preferably be made of cement, with fairly deep, wide gutters of (he same material. Plenty of bedding should be used to soak up the liquid manure. Ventilation. Provision fof some sort of ventila tion should be made. The plan of hav ing the windows placed high and so arranged that they swing iu at the top provides good ventilation, especially if there are windows on both sides. Tri angular pieces of board at the sides of the windows prevent drafts and cause the air to be forced upward towardtthe celling, where it is distributed all over the room. The King system of veutila tiou works well where the barn Is tight. Flues for impure air open at the floors and extend up to cupulas Id the roof. The.

Instead of with cobs, as where a lank heater Is used. If the lank Is hanUed and covered, a little fire every inoriilnn will keep the water at a comfortable temperature. The dairy cows should receive sail regularly. It Is necessary to the proc ess of digestion and causes an In creased milk flow. A self feed, covered salt box somewhere in the 'yard will provide a constant supply of salt with out waste. Care should be taken not to let the box get empty, and if It should happen so the cows should be gradually accustomed to salt again be fore they are given all they will eat. Regularity In Milking and Feeding. Regularity In milking and feeding is essential, irregular milking lilwnys reduces the yield. Be sure to "milk thoroughly, manipulating the udder to be sure that all the milk Is withdrawn. Nothing will cause a cow to dry up' more quickly than leaving a little milk In the udder each time. The udder should be wiped with a damp cloth before ilillking to remove dust and dirt. Kach particle of dust carries thousands of bacteria. Cleanliness Is the first essential in producing high class dairy products. Thj; feeding should be done Immediately after milking, especially if silage, turnips or other strong smelling feeds are used. If fed at this time there Is little dan ger of talnllng the milk. The heifers should be milked for ns long a time as possible during their first milking period, if they are nl lowed to go dry after five months or so they will never prove profitable dairy animals. It is the cow that keeps up a good milk flow ten or eleven' months of the year that adds to the dairyman's profits. Kindness Is .an essential point in handling dairy cows. A..y unneces sary roughness causes the row to hold up her milk and reduces du profits. Feeding. For three days before and three days after calving there is no better ration for the dairy cow than a nlash of two pounds of bran and one Mind of oil meal, fed twice a day. Do not be in too big a hurry to get the cows on full feed after calving. The ration should be increased gradually and slowly from five to six pounds dally to all tbe cows can profitably use. An increase of half a pound every alter nate day is sufficient. This Increase should be kept up as long as the milk flow continues to get larger. When the point is reached where increases lu feed do not produce corresponding In creases in mill! flow the feed should be gradually decreased again. The first few pounds decrease will not af fect the milk flow. When the point Is reached where a further decrease in feed causes a lessened milk flow the most profitable ration for that partic ular cow has been determined, it takes a little extra work to do this weighing, but after the best sized ra tion for each cow has been determined tbe approximately correct amount can bo measured out each tlme,with little trouble. It pays to feed the cow all she can use profitably. It costs Just so much to keep her anyway, and nil the feed that she cau use to ad vantage over that amount adds to the profits. During the summer the feeding prob lem Is a simple one. With pleiity of good pasture, supplemented lu dry times by some forage crop and some sort of protection from flies, the milk flow will be kept up to a profitable standard. In the absence of forage. crops silage, can bo profitably substi tuted. It Is in winter that tbe highest prices for dairy products are secured, and if the cows freshen iu the fall the main part of tbe year's product will come at this season. The problem of winter feeding is oue of the most important, with which the dairyman has to deal. If you have plenty of good clover or alfalfa hay aud silage the problem is more than half solved. From thirty to forty -five pounds of silage and .ten to twenty pounds of clover hay a day will make up the"Tulk of the roughage needed. A rack iu the yard filled with corn fodder or out straw will add vari ety to tbe ratiou. Where silage can not be obtained a plentiful supply of pumpkins, squashes, turnips or man gels should be at hand to supply the succulent part of tbe ration. Without sonic such feed the cows will not do their best. Mixing the Ration. Although dulry cows can handle large amounts ofrough feed, they need considerable grain In addition during the winter. Corn. "because of Its cheapness nnd high feeding value, will generally form the basis of the grain rations. Because of Its high percentage of carbohydraies and fat some feed rich lu protein should be fed with the corn. Outs are good, but they , have only enough protein to niak, a u ;.i i ri.' i a. .t in ineoorlves. and In aoiiiiion i u.-y are i:eiii ially loo e.ielisivr In lie led In lal-.'e amounts.
