As the roots develop the cultivation should be more and more shallow until at the last it consists in merely stirring the surface soil. Dead leaves, cornstalks and all rubbish which will decay may be disposed of bet ter than by burning. Thia by making into a compost heap, which In future value to the gardener will repay all the labor that you put upon it. The first spring work consists of the very important matter of "clearing up." Don't begin anything else until you have cleared up the entire premises and freed them from the unsightly accumulations always disclosed by winter's departure. The corn crop must make its growth in a comparatively brief tima See then that you help it to the utmost by careful and clean cultivation. Unless it is en abled to improve each shining hour, you cannot hope for a crop that will till the granary. A man who permits fence rows to har bor weeds cannot maintain a reputation as a good farmer. It either proves that he is very slack in his methods or that the farm' does not pay well enough to al low putting any labor upon such use less (?) accessories. There is a little time in early summer when even the bet farmers arc apt to get rushed, because the weeds grow bo fast. Bather than let them get ahead of you it will pay to hire extra help for awhile. The crops will be enough better to pay the expense. There is no piece of land upon the farm but that can be put to some profit able use. If too rough to cultivate, rent it to a good flock of sheep. If you don't" fancy that, plant it with foreBt trees. Don t let it remain idle, for then it is a tax and not a gain to own it. About the safest investment that a man can make is to buy good real estate. This is particularly so if the land is pro ductive and not idle. For this reason farms are good investments, and farmers should not be anxious to sell out, even if they do have a poor year or two. In discussing the question of good roads not enough attention is paid to the methods of preserving them after they are made. Wide tires on the wagons are important to this end. In France, where they have the best roads in the world, four-inch to six-inch tires are common. If you practice level cultivation with the potato crop, you will simplify your later and follow a sensible method. In level culture everything but the digging ia easier, and this' is not bo difficult as to be an objection. One of the best pre ventives of mildew on plants is pow dered lime. It should be dusted over them when wet with dew or just after a rain and repeated as often as necessary. It is a good check for potato-vine disease, perfect butter at one operation. If a little skill is developed in making, washing, salting, working and packing butter at one operation, the results are quite satisfactory. John Gould describes his process as follows: "Taking Blightly acid.cream, put it in a revolving churn, and churn it until it begins to show signs of breaking, when a little weak brine should be added to the cream to assist in the separation. When the but ter grains are the size of small shot and before taking out anv buttermilk add two-thirds as much cofd water as there is butter, etc., in the churn. Agitate a little, draw off this diluted fluid and re peat until the water comes clear. Then let it drain in a churn for a short time, and then add the salt bv the use of a little wooden fork. Let tlie butter re main undisturbed for a half hour, when the cover is put on and the churn slowly revolved for five or more minutes. Then take this fork and break up the butter halls that have formed in the churn, and liberate the buttermilk inside of them. Then rechurn, and at the conclusion of the operation pack the butter into the little pails by adding a pound or so at a time, turning off the moisture each time until the pail is full. Then cover the top with a cloth wet in some of the brine that came from the churn, and sprinkle on dry salt and put on cover; and, if the butter cannot be sold that dav, put it in as cool a place as possible, and Bell at the first opportunity, not that it must be, but the great damage to the butter mar ket is in the producers holding their but ter for Borne reason until it has lost its fine flavor." strawberry leaf roller.
