The farmer must not think that the common goats are not of value, for they are. They are something like the common cow. Goats run in value from $lO to SIOO, and some of my goats 1 wwuid not sell even for SIOO. Soils For Various Fruits. In selecting a site for the orchard It la }M>rhaps natural to make the mis take of choosing a soil which is la rea’ity too rich aud fat for tlie best production of apples. On such soli conditions seem to exist which lend t* a production of wood rather than fruit griws-ih. rlius defeating the object one has 5a view. Pears will produce fruit ob rich, moist soils, while peach trees »h»uid be net on the thinnest soil on the place. “Give me what is wasted at fence corners and in turning rows in lowa and i will retire from business,” says Governor Carroll. Orchard and Garden. Most people protect their roses by tyiisg burlap or straw around them, J)»t the best way is to lay them down asd cover with six inches of dirt. Wbeu killed by the frost, mow off tops and burn them. give the bed—and the rhubarb plants, too—a thick winter overcoat of stable manure. The market is more important than the soil. If an ideal soil (sandy loam) ter gardening purposes is far remote feorn a good market it is difficult to be ffet&acially successful. • jTbe- demand for nuts is growing, and 3a result they are increasing in value a market crop.

During tile past year a fungous dis ease of millet appeared at various places in lowa. The liotatiicai section of the lowa experiment station found upon investigation that the disease was millet smut, a trouble very common iu ft* •* - "'i' . ■'. * |V' , ; HEALTHY MItU.KT HF.AO AND ONE AFFECT- H> BY SMUT.

Professor Pummel finds that the dis ease can tie prevented by soaking the seed for two hours iu a solution of one pound of formaliu to forty-five gallons of water. Tlie claims of millet as mi impor tant soiling food rest upon the fact that It Is a good milk producing food, that it yields well on good land, that it may be grown us a catch crop and iu ln-t weather lit some instances aftet um.fjr.’r crop has been harvested.

When it comes to a choice be tween buying some new tool you need on the farm and putting the money in the bank, better buy the tool. It will help you gain the money back and save toil into the bargain. Sorghum For Hogs. The Alabama experiment station finds that sorghum pasture for fat tening hogs has very little to recoin mend It. When used with corn it gave better gains than corn alone, but the gains were not profitable when the sorghum was cut aud carried to the hogs. They made better gains when allowed to graze It. Excellent gains were made when the juice was ex tracted and fed, but for this purpose the prtte was worth but I.S cents a gallon. The expense of extracting the juice prohibits its use. Iu every case sorghum was much inferior to the legumes, and since it left the land poorer its use for hogs was discour aged where legumes could be grown. Use of the Weeder. The weeder is a very useful tool In the cultivation of potatoes when prop erly used, it should be run crosswise of the rows after each cultivation as long as the size of the plants will per mit. It helps to pulverize the surface and destroys many of the weeds in the rows where they cannot lie reached with the cultivator, thus making hand hoeing less necessary. Some growers continue to use the weeder lengthwise of tlie rows after the plants are too large to permit running it crosswise by removing some of (lie teeth from di rectly over the row.—American Culti vator. Providing Early Greens. Turnips if left in the ground will produce early greens in spring, and so will tlie stalks of cabbage if (hey are left with the roots in the ground. Live Stock Notes. Protection from stormy and inclem ent weather will make feed go further. Clover and skimmilk are almost in dispensable in the ration of the grow ing pig. Provide a clean, dry bed and never allow a horse to lie on bare boards or stand in wet manure. Save all of the garden beets that are not needed for the table and for cau ninsUo feed your pigs and dairy cows. Tnf ideal sheep pasture ix biue grass and white clover. It makes' the driest, closest sod, and dry land is best for sheep. It never pays to starve a colt. Thir ty bushels of oats will cost about $lO and be worth twice that much to any well bred colt in the winter. Sows that come from prolific fami lies are more certain to inherit those qualities and become good mothers than those that descend from families that are less prolific.
