What kind of essence does a young j

threaten to tear up your farm. The
water Is lower now than at some sea
sons of the year. A few days' work
with the team, wagon and scraper may
fix the banks and channel so that the

and do damage to the land. Our farms
are too valuable to be cut up in that
way.

A good deal is written about the

right sort, will never have occasion to
regret It.
Some men seem to be ashamed of

be glad that they have the little ones

If a man wears his trousers out at
the bottom, he's generally a vaga

a good orchardist; but if in the seat
he's either a wagoner or laty as Peter
Tumbledown.
There are many men who do not
place true valuation upon their
wives until they have lost them, and
are obliged to hire moderately Inter

must pay real wages.
We needeu't go to dime novels for

Potatoes that have been well pro
tected all through the season by the
Bordeaux spray, are not so likely to
rot in cellar or pit.
Don t neglect that crack in the roof
too long. Shove in a shingle and fast
en It down with a nail, then you'll feel
easy.
If your potatoes are rotting, don't
be in a hurry to dig them. Let them
stay m the ground till they get
through rotting. The first cold davs
wl.l usually put an end to the rot
Lver hear of the man who spent
naif a day hunting for the largest ear
or corn in the field, and then took It
to the local paper with the statement
that he had "sixty acres just like

It Is a good plan to know and note
down the size of every field. Measure
a clothesline, tie a stake at each end.
and measure the field both ways. Then
you can estimate fertilizer, crops and

the only way to decrease the
amount of smut In corn. is to pluck
in me smut-Dans and burn them.
t-orn smut spreads rapidly If the
smut balls are thrown on the manure
pile and the manure spread on corn-

the manure pile.
If affairs at Washington do not go
to please you, do not be afraid to write
to your congressman. He is your ser
vant, sent to Washington to attend
to your business, just as your man
noes your work In the field. Moreover.
your Congressman may be needing a
word of advice from home to keep In
loucn wun nis people.
One bushel and a half of wheat is
ample to sow an acre. As soon as the
wneat is sown, if the land is not un
aerarained, it is advisable to plow
some iurrows where they will carry
off any water that might collect in
depressions. Sow the crop late, so as
to escape the Hessian fly. in the
North about September 15th or 20th;
farther south a week or two later.
If you pour the potatoes over Into
a deep bin do not be surprised If they
are bruised so that the rot. Potatoes
are tender. Set the crate over in the
bin and empty it carefully. Raise the
bottom of the potato blnB of the floor
of the cellar a few inches. But do
not use sticks of wood to do this if
you can get smooth stones of uniform
thickness. The sticks of wood will
decay more or less, and no decaying
matter of any kind should be In the
cellar. ,
This Is a busy time of the year, but
If you can chink it in, now is an op
portune season for fixing the channel
of any small creeks or runs that may
the corn Is glazed and the leaves be
gin to turn in color, the work of the
stalk Is over.
Orchard and Garden,
Continue to hoe and cultivate the
strawherry bed, but do not let the
runners set too thickly. Treat all sur
plus plants just as If they were weeds.
Currants and gooseberry bushes
may be set In the fall. If desired, and
well mulched.
Save the best shaped and colored to
matoes for seed every year, and the
strain will be much Improved.
If the cabbage heads show signs
of bursting, pull each head a little so
as to break a few of the roots and
thus check the rapid growth.
Look out for weak and broken
rounds In the ladder. Bad accidents
have happened by going through such
ladders. Put In new rounds before
anything happens.
Last month we told you to "tip" the
blackcap raspberries, and to cut out
the old wood that has fruited. Not
too lata to do this now. Blackberries,
too. Rhould have the old wood cut out.
Look out for frosts late this month.
Tomato vines, etc., may be protect
ed cold nights by a covering of straw,
newspapers, cloths, etc. On . large
fields, smudge fires will often save a
crop from frost damage.
Winter onion sets should go Into the
ground early this month. Thoy are
quite hardy, but a light mulch of
leaves, straw or litter won't hurt them
in the North; they'll be ready for use
early In the Spring.
Pears are best when ripened Indoors
Instead of on the trees. The time
pick pears Is determined, first, by their
Known season oi ripening; ami second
by the ease with which the stem part
from the branch when the fruit
slightly lifted.
Does your neighbor know that the
strawberry plants are now forming
dormant fruit buds for next year
crop, and that crop then depends large
ly upon the care now? Perhaps you
be doing him a favor If you show him
this paper and ask him to subscribe.
It is important to pick vegetables at
the right time. If picked while the
sun is at Its height, they are more or
less wilted and do not keep so well
This does not apply to beana they
should never be handled while wet
or they will rust Nearly all veg'
tables are juicier and sweeter if pick
ed before they are quite full-sized.
linoleum Is heavy roofing paper, tack
ed firmly In place and then stained
and varnished. As It begins to wear
the paint or stain and varnish can be
renewed.
When stewing tomatoes throw In
little plisre of red popper pod. It gives
a better flavor than black pepper, Is
more wholesome, looks better and can
be taken out when the tomatoes are
seasoned enough.
This Is my tried and true method
of canning corn: Thirteen pints of
corn, one of salt and enough water to
cover nicely; cook until done, fresh
en before using. By this method It
will keep for years and Is delicious.

In the shed or outkitchen of every
farm house, there ought to bo a closet
or box In which to keep ,trv, clean
shoes for the farmer and his men or
boys to slip on when they come In
from the stable, or from spending fer
tilizers, before they come Into the sit
ting room, or especially to the table.

Farewell to Summer.

So freshly green, when June was
young, are falling:
And, all tho whisper-haunted forest

From rustling hazel copse and tangled

Sweet, farewell!"

The Poultry Yard.
September Is a good month for ca-
ponding.
Prepare the hens now for fall and
winter laying.
A hen house without a south win-
kw Is a mistake.
Scrape- up a ginid lot of road dust
for the stick this winter.
Po not tease tho gander. There Is
no more dangerous fowl In the poultry
world than an old gander, especially
during breeding season.
If the fowl s legs are scaly, try the
remedy of coating them with gas-tar.
Allow It to remain until worn off,
when the scales as a rule will follow
Sow all duck yards, as soon as emp
ty, to rye. This will not only make an
excellent green food, cut up In Inch
lengths, but the rye crop will disin
fect the soil.
As a rule, a woman makes a success
of poultry culture because she Is care
ful, watchful and mindful of all the
small details the little leaks that
often sink the ship.
September Is a good time to pur
chase new blood In the way of cock
erels or pullets, as a much better bar
gain can be secured now tlian later on
when the demand Is greater.
Now Is a good time to whitewash the
Interior of the houses, and there Is
no belter season than now to repair
the roofs and fix up things In gener
al anticipation of a long and hard
winter.
Even the air of the hen house must
be kept clean clean by the entrance
of the pure fresh air and the searcn
ing sunshine. Have the house so ar
ranged that it can be made an open
front during the day time.
The molting season Is here. Hens
that are molting now will be through
about December, and can be relied
upon to furnish a good simply of eggs

Hints for Stock Owners.
Timely care for all tv little things
will make us successful In larg
h'nes. With stock no detail Is too
trlrling which has for Its object the
improvement of tbe animal or an in
crease in Its productiveness.
After the roots are gathered for
winter, the flock should feed over the
fie'd to clean up the small roots, etc.
Do not attempt- to winter old ewes.
Fst'en them quickly on turnips, oil
meal, ground corn and oats.
It Is well to reserve a patch of tur
ning for the sheep to feel on. It mav
be In one corner of a pasture. A patch
of one acre will furnlh feed for twenty-five
or thirty sheep for three
months.
Restrict the range of the rattening
nigs somewhat, but do not connne
them to close nens.
Don't let a single anple go to waste
wvery windfall will help to fit the pigs
for the early market.
Cedent floors are excellent to save
fertility, but they must be kept cov
ered with plenty of bedding. If the
stock Is to remain healthy.
Breeding sows should be compelled
to walk a long way every dav. If they
walk two or three mile It wll' be
eood for them. If you ran't manage
It any other way. feed them a good
distance from the house. Make them
travel.
Wash the horse trough out every
little while and clean the sour feed
out of the corners. It breeds colic.
Do not stuff the road horses with
hay. A horse cannot travel easily
with a stomach full of' hay crowding
his lungs.
Give a small forkful at night, when
the home has time to digest It.
A good handful of cut hay should
be mixed with the grain to compel per
fect mastication.
Be sure to teach the suckling out
to eat grain before they are weaned.
hen cream Is not In the proper
condition to churn the loss Is more
than you may at first suspect.
The loss occurs when cream Is over-
ipe or not ripe enough; In mixing
ripe cream and fresh cream, and
churning Immediately; In mixing

The Vanished Flocks.
Cp In the garret's dusky gloom,
In-'er the rafters, cob-webbed, gray,
Quaint and strange is the old hand-
loom,
Shut from the busy world away.
Once where the brake and fern grow
wild,
And the gray rocks break through
New England sod,
hundred flocks climbed the rugged
slopes,
Waving now with the goldenrod.
Food and raiment alike they gave
To the dwellers then In the farm
house old;
And peace and contentment reigned
within.
When the flock was safe In the Win
ter fold.
Warm Is the sun on the pasture lands,
Sunny and smiling and still they lie;
But where are the flocks that climbed
the hills,
Under the blue of the summer sky?
Daisies and brake and goldenrod,
Riot over the rough, gray rocks,
Field and fold and the old hand-loom,
They are waiting yet for the van
ished flocks.
