The aext oeratlon Is the use of a weeder or drag, and I much prefer a Crag with the teeth set shallow or slanting enough not to disturb the seed, far the reason that It does the work tore thoroughly at one operation aud Should leave the field level once more and free from weeds with the potato sprouts Just apiwarlng.

The cultivators are started at once, and the soil la worked up fine between the rows to a depth of two Inches be low the seed piece, allowing the culti vator teeth to run quite deep and close to the roots, as shown In the second flgtire. Rendering the soil loose around and below the seed piece Is the object, aa the first roots that form run right aronnd the seed piece and down to the loose soil below. Now If this 0eratlon Is performed quickly and thoroughly the plant will Immediately throw out B second and third set of roots that will Baek the lowest depth attained by the cultivator and below, filling all the soil under and around the seed piece very fall of small roots.

The third plant Indicates T the repetition of the first work at a time when the plant Is from four to six Inches high and at about the same dis tance from the plant. Each cultivation should be made narrower as the plants grow, so aa to keep close to the roots and yet avoid cutting or breaking them. Hews mm4 Notes. Plrty seed endangers the farm by Introducing weed seeds. Low priced Seed Is often poor seed, and It ia then far more expensive than a blgb priced good seed. The price of seed per pound or bushel Is no accurate meos- oxe of Its value. The true value Is found by testing the sample and thus determining the per cent of good seed present The American Association of Nurs erymen will celebrate their twenty- ' rtb anniversary of organization at Chicago June 13 and 14. a destroyers of many of our most pestiferous night flying Insects, like mosquitoes, the hat Is slmost our sole dependence, and as he Is known to ' hunt Insects afoot aa well as on the wing he la also of some value for larva? that do not fly.

The long contest In Ohio over the Bnttcolor oleo law has been settled by a decision of the supreme court sus taining a ststnte which prohibits the sale of oleo colored In Imitation of but ter, says The Rreeder'a Gasette. Among all fslr minded men there Is general recognition of the 'act that but ferine ss well ns other Imitation products or substitutes for articles of diet should be sold to the consumer for eisetly whst It Is. Extremists among the dai rymen demand that the manufacture ef oleo be prohibited, the favorite prop osition lielng to tsi It to death. All ex treme legislation on thla subject, such as compelling msnnfscturers to color bntteiine a hue offensive to the eye. haa failed to stand the test of the eourta, hut there hsve hern strong de- rlsions upholding the right of the state to compel manufacturers to refrain from tinting their product In Imitation of the standard butter color.

If a small loophole is al lowed In the silo, destructive fermen tation soon begins, and this ran tie checked only by shutting out the air.

We think the best floor for the stable la a cement floor made nearly level, but with a alight slope froji front to rear and but a shallow gutter at the lower side to carry away liquids to seme point where they will discharge Into the manure heap or Into a cistern pro vided to receive them.

Thus we should have a plank floor for the animals to stand npon and beneath It a floor that would not absorb mois ture or retain unpleasant odors, one that we could sweep or even wash when we desired and one that would be likely If proerly made to outlast many of the plank stall floors.

We have long advocated the feeding of some dry fod der In ennneetion with pasture antl si lage. This was done partly on theoret ical grontids and partly because we have noticed In otir own herd the crav- ,n of ,hp row for "m dry fodder snd that they apparently did as well when thus fed ss when they received grsin. Our own opinions were very fully confirmed by some accurate ex periments made by professor Sanborn In New Hampshire. Of course when the pasture becomes short and dry It Is expedient to add more or less grain, and under the circumstances and the prices given by our Missouri friend we would use equal parts by weight of brao and gluten feed, the amount to be allowed dally to be governed by cir cumstances.
