Strong Trees Best.
It never pays to set out spindling
and weak trees or shrubs. Set. strong,
healthy ones, and then do a good job.
If a tree gets a set-back when it is
transplanted it will take it two or
three years to recover if It ever does.
—Indiana Farmer.*
When Nurse Crop is Cut.
The critical time in the growth of
the clover plant, if a nurse crop is
used, is the time at which that nurse
crop is removed. Many farmers have
a good catch at that time. But when
they remove the nurse crop the clover
dies. That being true, if we can grow
the clover so ns to avoid the haz
ards of removing the nurse crop, or if
wo can have the clover in a condition,
at the time the nurse crop is removed,
so that it will not die, we have saved
a great portion of it that otherwise
would have died.—Indiana Farmer.
The Ram.
A shepherd who has been most suc
cessful gives some advice which is
■well worth repeating:
“In starting a Hock of sheep, I think
in the ram we should look for coin-
formation rather than size. A ram
should he close to the ground, square
as a block and strong in bone. He
should have a well-shaped head and a
clean-cut all round make-up. I also
think a ram bought at. $25 that is
worth $25, is cheaper than one bought
for $500. None but a pure bred should
be used. I do not believe in using
lambs for breeding if it. can ire avoid
ed; would prdefer one-year-olds to four.
There should be at least one ram to
every forty ewes.”—Farmers’ Home
Journal.
good results, but rye shorts are not
satisfactory and are only used in •mall
quantities. The best feeds are only
used in small quantities. The best
feeds are ground barley, crushed oats
and wheat sorts. Roots arc fed dur
ing winter and soiling crops during
midsummer.—Indiana Farmer.
Horse Technicalities.
These are horse technicalities that,
ought to be better known:
A white spot on the forehead Is a
"star.” A white lace from eye to eye
is a ‘‘bald face.” A white eye is a
“glass eye.” A horse has pasterns,
not ankles. There is no such point ns
a hind knee or fore shoulder. White
around t lie top of the hoof is a "white
coronet.” White above the pasterns
is a "white leg.”
“Amble” is a gait, like pacing, but
slower, in which the two legs oil the
same side are moved together. The
“croup” is that part of the horse back
of the Saddle; the “forearm” is that
part of (lie leg between the elbow and
the knee; and the “elbow” is the joint
of the foreleg next the knee. When a
horse "forgets” it strikes the toe of
the fore loot with the toe of the hind
one; and this last is often the result
of bad shoeing.
Everyone should know that a “hand”
a term comlyonly used In describing
the height of a horse, is one-third of
a .foot, or four inches.—Farm Jour
nal.
Salting Butter.
The amount of salt to lie incorporat
ed In the butter depends directly on
the amount of moisture the butter con
tains. Butter fat is not a salt dis
solving substance. This can he done
only by the moisture in the butter.
The first thing, then, to get a uniform
amount. c;f dissolved salt in butter is
to get a uniform amount of moisture.
The water should be evenly distrib
uted through the mass of butter. If
it is present in pockets or crevices in
the butter when the salt is added,
much salt will be lost in the form of
brine, besides those particles of but
ter near the pockets will contain more
salt than those farther away.
Best results are obtained by allow
ing the butter to drain well after
washing and then apply the salt. In
no case should salt be added till the
butter has assumed a guthered condi-
jtlon.
When the butter is medium soft af-
itftr being worked, it has been found
that from three-fourths to an ounce of
salt for each ixnind of butter is not
far from the correct amount.—Iowa
Experiment Station.
Reeding for Bacon.
The demand for bacon has increased
so much in the past few years that
it has been found necessary in some
sections to feed so as to produce the
atreaw-of-lean bacon quality hogs
which command an extra price. To
'Produce this extra quality of bacon
hogs are fed one of the following daily
rations per head;
| Two parts of shorts, two parts of
■.ground barley, one part of corn meal
and skim milk; or two parts of ground
barley, one part shorts, one part of
ground rye and skim milk; two parts
of ground barley, one part of ground
rye; one part of wheat bran, one part
ground rye and skim milk; or two
parts of ground barley, one part oats,
one part corn meal and skim milk.
Corn meal is fed with care, espec
ially during warm weather; wherl fed
in small quantities with barley, shorts
ogts and bran, combined with a liberal
Allowance of skim milk, there are no
bad results. Some good feeders use
corn meal to the extent of one-half
or one-third of the grain ration dur
ing the first three or four months, and
then omit it and finish with oats or
similar feed.
Feeders are sometimes compelled
use corn on account of the low price
of bacon. Ground rye to the extent of
about one-tlilrd of the ration gives
Concrete on Wood.
Have any of your contributors had
experience in laying cement on a
plank floor? If so, advice on the same
would be greatly appreciated. H. C.
S. Cement or concrete may be laid on
a plank floor as well as on the ground
if the floor has sufficient rigidity so
that sufficient springing to crack the
concrete does not lake place. The
thickness of the concrete should not
be less than two and a half to three
inches, the latter thickness being the
safer to adopt. If such a thickness
would raise the floor more than is
desired, it is customary to take off the
floor proper and make a false floor
carried by supports nailed to the joists
at a sufficient level below the top of
tlie joists to permit of the proper
Jhickness of cement being laid. To
avoid cracking over the joists, the
upper edges of the joists have their
corners cut away to a narrow edge
along the center of the joist. Then
trie finished surface of the cement floor
should be at least an inch and a half
above the level of the sharpened edge
of the joist. If it is important that the
floor be water-tight, or reasonably so,
the clean, sharp sand and cement to
he used with the crushed rock or
gravel should be at least as rich as one
ofeementtotwoor xz shr s etasetaoin
of cement to two of sand. There will
then he no leaking if water does not
stand continuously on the floor, unless
cracks form in the concrete, it is
practically very diflhult to lay a mon
olithic floor of any considerable dimen
sions without expansion and contrac
tion-era! ks forming in it; such cracks
however, are not usually wide, but
plainly visible, and, if much water oc
curs on the floor and absolute dryness
Is necessary belc w, a water-proofing
surface should be provided before the
cement is laid. Not knowing the use
to which our JUdcUt’a floor is
to be put, it is not practicable in a
short, note to answer him specifically.

Farm Notes.
The dairy hull should be fed like a
working horse and should receive plen
ty of exercise. Work him in a tread
power.
Barrenness, sterility, or failure to
breed in cows and heifers, is due eith
er to imperfect, unnatural, or diseased
genital organs.
Keep a record of the breeding of
each cow, so you will know when she
is due to calve, and then allow her to
go dry six weeks before calving.
However anxious to increase the size
of the flock, too many eggs should not
be placed under t lie hens when setting.
From twelve to fifteen is a good num
ber.
A good time to do your dehorning is
when the calves are a few days old.
Mark them with an aluminum ear
mark so you can keep a record of
them.
All poultry not to be carried over
should be sold as soon as possible. It
saves feed and work. Not only so, but
the best prices are secured for the
early birds.
Before introducing any new cows
into the stable, have them tuberculin
tested to avoid bringing any cows af
fected with this disease into your
healthy herd.
There is no better way to give fowls
charcoal than to burn corn on the cob,
and shell it to them. They eat it
greedily and soon show red combs and
other indications of improved condi
tion.
The hens should have wheat, corn,
oats and barley in their litter. The
essentials are comfortable quarters and
variety of foods. If these are sup
plied and the roosting places kept
clean, there is not much danger of dis
ease.

Hon. R. J. Redding, former Director of the Geor
gia Exp. Station, is authority for the statement that
“experiments made at this station show that well
balanced commercial fertilizer applied to one acre
of land, and well cultivated, may be reasonably ex
pected to produce an increase of yield of seed
cotton. At the present price of cotton this would
mean a large extra profit (for both lint and seed),
after deducting the price for fertilizer.”

SINKS AND DRAINS A FRE

Signs of Long Life.
‘In the medical world,” said a well
known veteran doctor of Tioga yester
day, "It is a generally accepted fact
that every person bears physical indi
cations of Ills prospects of a long or
short life. A long-lived person may
be distinguished from a short-lived per
son at sight. In many instances a phy
sician may look at the hand of a pa
tient and tell whether he or she will
live or not. The primary conditions of
longevity are that the heart, lungs and
digestive organs as well as the brain
should be large. If these origans are
large the trunk will be long and the
limbs comparatively short. The per
son will appear tall in sitting and short
in standing. The hand will have a
long and somewhat heavy palm and
short fingers. The brain will be deep
ly seated, as shown by the orifice of the
ear being low. The blue or brown
hazel eye, as showing an Intermission
of temperament, is a favorable indi
cation. The nostrils, if, large, open and
free, indicate large lungs. A pinched
and half-closed nostril indicates small
,).• weak lungs. These are generous
points of distinction hut, of course,
subject to the usuaj individual excep
tions.’'—Philadelphia Record.
Purify These and You Will Be Safe
From Contagion — Disinfecting
the Only Preventative—Borax, a
Simple, Safe and Sure Method.
How to keep our homes clean, sweet
and free from germ influences Is a
question.
While there is no occasion for
alarm, it is always well to be fore
armed on the theory that “An Ounce
of Prevention Is Better Than a Pound
of Cure,” and no ounce of prevention
has yet been discovered that Is more
simple, more direct and more effec
tive, yet harmless to the human sys

Borax has been known and used for
generations as a purifier and preven
tive agaiqst epidemic influences orig
inating from uncleanly conditions re
sulting from unsanitary sinks and
drains, and when used as a hot solu
tion in the proportion of two table-
spoonfuls to a gallon of hot water
flushed through the offending loca
tions, removes every trace of disease
germs and renders the pipes clean
and wholesome.
Borax In addition to its hygienic
qualities, is a household necessity,
and can bo used for numberless do
mestic purposes. It softens the water,
makes linen dazzling white, will
cleanse every article in the kitchen
or dining room and make it bright,
will prevent moths, aoften and whiten
the skin, remove dandruff and cleanse
