It Is worth while for farmer to pay a little more attention to their farm tlnilwr lots. Any one who baa bad to liujr lumber lately know that Ita price Is almoet prohibitory. la fact, building operations 00 the farm aa well aa elsewhere have been treatly kept bark by the high prices asked for ell klmla of lumber. Take e trip a Unit the country, and yon will ere auuie things tbat will make your heart ache If you rare any thing for trees. In the mill varda of the east aud middle m(, where bero lork and ploe grow, yon will Dud little treee, hardly aa large around as a torrplpe, wilting to tared. Some of three will hardly make a S by 4 Branding. If thoee aapltngs could har been permitted to eland a few years longr tbey would bar been worth many ttroea mar than tbey are now. Rut the spirit emus to be to cut the trees dowa bow and Irt them go for what tbey will bring. This la quite la lloe wltb Buck we do la other directions at the pro at time. The dollar we can tC bow la the dollar we must bare. Tomorrow may took out f Itself. The farmer baa It la bk power to pat rfcerk to this waste. How I By catting or.! sorb tine aa are deed or U-flDcInf to die. The ttt farmers do t IiTm Tufiuaelve, aud If they rent their lunde tbey luslxt that their tens tits shall do the same. And then they may set out more trees. If tbey are compelled to cut any lire trees for biiilillng purpoees, thry may also set out other smaller trees to take their place. Tbey may also fight Are, the worst enemy we bare In our for ests. Tbey may work for better timber laws. And tbey may educate their tors to lore the woods and try to keep them growing. CUCUMBERS. They Need Plenty ef Heat, Light and Met at wee. To grow cucumbers to perfection plenty of beat, light and moisture are required. Tbey will tbiire In any good aoil not too beery or sandy. Seed may be sown as soon as the danger of frost Is past. Six or eight seeds should be planted In each bill, the hills bring about sis feet apart each way. la the early spring seed may be sows la hlila whk-h are protected by glass covered frame. When the plants bar grown to about four Inches) la height and there seems to be little danger of them being Injured by Insert or other cauare they should be thinned oat to a boat three plants la a hllL Frequent cultivating at aordrd sjotfl tbe Tlnwe begin to run freely. As re- cumbers are subject to several dis eases, the old vines should be de stroyed or cleared away In the autumn, and tbe crop should not be planted two years In succession on tbe same land. The worst feature of cucumber culture Is the Insect pests, but these may be controlled by dusting with dry Insecticides or even with bone dust encumbers for pickling should be gathered when quite small. They may lie successfully preserved In brine, frnm which thev are taken as needed, j soaked In fresh water and placed in vinegar. There are many varieties, each good for a purpose. Farm and Garden MODERN GRANARY. Fradieatina Weeds. in mnnr sections of the west when the weeds get too large for the narrow ffinripm iii what is known as slicker. The details of construction i:re shown in the accompanying illu tration. tIip slicker is usually about tweh feet wide, with four runners. The run 0 a A SLICKER. ners are made of 2 by C Inch or 2 by 8 tich scantling. Boards are nailed on top of the runners. An Iron five- iKhths of an Inch in diameter is ras eued at the back of the runners, so liat it draw In the soil one to two inches below the surface. A tuln bar f steel as Ions as the width of the Implement, about two Inches wide ana sharpened on the front. Is sometimes used Instead of the Iron rod. The bar Is bolted to the bottom of the back of the runners. The weight of the driver who rides the implement causes the rod or knife to run Just under the surface of the ground. When the rod clogs It is dumped by lifting on the handles, shown in the cut It works very nicely when the soli Is smooth, finely pulverized nnd reasonably free from stubble and other trash. When the slicker Is to be used enre should be ex ercised in turning tbe stubble under well. Potato Rot. A man who has tried tbe experi ment claims that it Is very easy to pre vent potatoes from rottlns by placing in different parts of the cellar In vhicb they are kept a box containing a quan tity of lump slack lime. He states that this lime absorbs the moisture which has such a detrimental effect upon po tatoes and In his case has resulted In keeping his stock of this commodity always In good condition. The plan Is simple enough and Is well worth a trial by any grocer who h:is had dif ficult)' In keeping his pota oss in a damp cellar Care of Apple Trees. Apple trees do best in a fertile clayey loam or "w hlte otik" soil and on a southeastern slope. Varieties should lie chosen which are known to be hardy In the locality. Information may le obtained from the state experi ment stations in nearly every state. The trees should not be planted closer than twenty-four feet each way. Dirt should be well packed about their roots aud cultivation practiced for sev eral years. Between the trees crops of potatoes or small fruits may be grown. Clean culture Is essential to prevent Infection by Insects nnd fungous diseases. The trees should be watched carefully for borers, which eat lu the trunk. These ran 1 dug out with a knife or killed by poking a wire Into the aperture. The trees give best satisfaction when headed low, so careful pruning Is es sential It Is well to see that the trunk is shaded on the southwest by .1 healthy limb, which will prevent sun sen Id. When the tree Is coming into bearing spraying with parls green or bordeaux mixture is recommended. This should le done after the blossoms fall and again three weeks later. This treat ment kills broods of the codling moth nnd keeps fungi in check. THE SWINEHERD. Tests at the Indiana eierlment sta tion Indicate that pigs make better gains w hen their gnilu Is fed dry than they do when it Is mixed with water. This would suggest that those who take the trouble to mix grain with water before feeding waste their time nnd to a slight extent the food value of the grain. The Pigpens In Summer. In summer. If the pig kceer la wise, a large pnHrtiou of hia stock will be running out to grass. Then of course la au opportune time to give the va cant piggrrirs a thorough cleansing ami lliue washing to act drainage of yards and outlets right and attend to any structural repairs that may be ueivsxary. On a dairy farm especially should the p Ik series be kept In a sani tary condition. If neglected, offensive odors arise from them. In many case tlie dairy Is not far away. This la a point which should be watched. When building or rebuilding pons let them be aa far removed aa possible from tbe dairy, for t hia la not only objection able, but really harmful, aa few things absorb the Impurities of tbe atmos phere more readily than milk. Protein Feeds ef the Farm. For the pig two to alx month old protein la the moot Important feed. Without protein It cannot build op tbe lean meat or grow to any else. Pro tein Is found In aklmmllk. clover and alfalfa. Corn Is nine-tenths cartxv bydratee. Oats bare little more pro tein than corn, but not sufficient for the pig. Rye contains a little more protein than corn. Itarlry la one of tbe best feeda on tbe farm. It contains more protein than rye. In clover a ad alfalfa tbere Is a Urge bulk for tbe required nutrients, and pure cannot get enough for a maximum growth. Even If yon have cora and cVrrec It la still of ry for the yonng pig to bare some protein food rowpeaa, aoy beace or Canada field praa. Tbere la nothing better grown on tbe farm to balance Bp the raC. Proffur William Ptetrtcn. A Practical and Economical Building For Storing Corn, Wheat and Oats. Some writers tell us that the aver age farmer annually loses one-twentieth nt hi entire crons from the lack of proper buildings In which to store them and bold tnem lor prouiauie While the writer cannot vouch for the above statement, he does know that an Improvement in the usual storehouse for grain, etc., on the aver age farm Is not only desirable, but very necessary if the farmer would jave to himself the profits on His procr How's This!

The Illustration shows a plan of a granary for corn, wheat, oats and oth er grain built along practical lines, and wherever built It has proved entirely satisfactory. The muln feature of this house Is the lower floor. The outer walls are boarded or sided up tight. contrary to the usual manner of build ing a corncrlb. The house sits about three feet above the ground on oak or cement posts, as the builder may de sire. The floor of the crib Is built of by 4 luch or 0 inch slats placed one and a half Inches apart The Inte rior wall is built In the same way. his allows a free circulation of air at all times, but keeps out all rain and snow. This, with the elevated floor, makes it entirely rat and weather proof. he driveway walls are boarded solid from the floor down to the ground. This allows the bogs and poultry to pick up any corn that may fall through. It is said tbat corn held In such a crib not only brings a better price, but that It does not lose In weight the same as corn held In the usual manner. The crib Is 28 by 40 feet on the A BIDS VIEW. ground and twelve feet to the eaves. The upper floor will hold several hun dred bushels of small grain, and the two cornerlbs 8 by 40 feet will hold a large amount of corn. Sliding doors are provided at either end, and a large ventilating window in the opposite gable ventilates the entire building. The driveway is used a part of the season for farm Implements. Farm and Ranch. Milk Powder. The manufacture of milk powder has now reached a stage where the process Is considered a success In a business way, and the trouble Is to find a satis factory market for the product The greatest field eema to be in the sale of the powder made from separated milk from large creameries. The sklmmllk can be bought at a price which brings the milk powder to a very low cost. For wholesale purpoees It can be pack ed In bags like flour at very little cost for handling and light cost for trans portation as compared with the liquid milk. Large quantities are expected to be used by the biscuit and cracker man ufacturers; also by the bakers and con fectioners lu the manufacture of milk bread, cakes and pies and such prod ucts. As It will keep for any length of time. It should nnd a market on ship board and for other uses where a sup ply of fresh milk cannot be bad. It Is believed that a large business can be built up without Interfering to any great extent with the market for fresh milk. INDEPENDENCE I MONMOUTH Railway. FROM INDEPENDENCE. 1MB DALLAS.
