To get rid of cut worms, take pieces of news- paper six inches square, cut slit to een- ter and slip around plants and place dirt or pebbles on corners to bold them down.—Exchange. ¿J Well Anchored Post*. Innumerable plans have been broach ed for firmly anchoring the corner post that is to receive the pull and tension of n wire fence, but the one here Illus trated is one of the best of all. At tlie back of the post In the bottom of the hole is placed a block of wood, and in front of the post, just below the sur face of the ground, is imbedded a long log. or stick of timber. It will be seen ut a glance what enormous resisting power these sticks afford the post. The second cut shows bow wire fence may be held taut by carrying the wires from the bottom of the first post up to their several positions ou tlie second post. Short sections of wire are then put between tlie first and see ond posts in the position of the dotted lines. This plan causes all the “pull” on the wires to be exerted on the base of the first post—a position that does not admit of much yielding. Either of - .xH*~ & these plans will be found of value when building a barbed or smooth wire fence.—New York Tribune. Makins Hay. In making hay it is always best to begin •> few days before the meadow is quite ready to cut. The loss from cut ting a week too soon Is not to be com pared with the loss arisin; ig from cut- ting a week too late, There Is a differ- ence between dried grass and hay made from matured grass, but If the stock is allowed to clioose they will take the dried grass. If we do not be- gin to make hay until it Is just right, bad weather or other untoward cir cumstances may cause delays that will afford the grass time to get too ripe, and once this happen" it is Impossible to make good hay of it. There will be a very little clover hay In the West this year, and the main dependence must be on timothy and prairie hay. Timothy cutting should begin by the time the blossoms fall from the beads. We prefer to begin cutting as soon as the dew Is off in the morning. If the weather is fair this is left until the next day, when it is raked and allowed to lie In the windrow an hour or two and is then piled into well-built cocks, where it can stand until the next day. or two or three days. If necessary. In these cocks it begins to sweat, and pitching the hay on the wagon and off into the mow airs it out in a way that causes it to cure perfectly in the mow, coming out a bright green and smelling as sweet as new-mown hay. The use of a hay loader hastens the work of haymaking, but is not con ducive to the makiug of the best of hay. as it can be properly cured only by standing In the cock for a time. i Rich —Yet Starving, Doctor« frequently have very wealthy patients who are starving.

Puff Turkeys, I have raised buff turkeys for three years, and I will say that as a practical farm bird they have no equal in any turkeys that I have ever raised, says a writer in Michigan Farmer. Tlie rich buff does not show dirt as white does, and they are a larger bird than the White Holland; are just as easy to raise, and do not stay around the barn so close that they do not thrive unless fed all summer, but are between the bronze and White Holland. Never go to the neighbors, but still get a good living in the fields. Then the bronze are so fond of roam ing; you never know where the hen Is. She lays all over the farm, and visits the farmers all around.

Have the soil in a good tilth and reasonably rich, so that the plants may get a good start to grow before the weather gets too hot and dry. One advantage with turnips Is that if they can not be eaten or sold to an advantage they can always be fed to Ventilating Farm BuH.lincs.
