To Arms !—A fleet of Spanish mackerel coming up tiie creek that must be caught. Now is the time to buy Angle Rods, sinkers, etc., with which to stop the said fleet. Sold by There is a creamery in Wisconsin owned and operated by Indians. If not already dene, it is not yet too late to set out that strawberry bed. It is losing a great deal to put this job off until another year. The general level of prices for all farm products is higher than a year ago. Conditions on the farm have never been better than they now are. There is in an elm tree in the writer's yard a very desirable crotch for nest ! building, and it is occupied each year, one season by the robins, the next by the jays. This location for tile nest is not more than six feet from the ground, and its use by the birds af fords an admirable opportunity to closely observe ail the pretty details of nest building and bird rearing. A good lady friend of ours, thinking she was doing a big thing for her dow el's, fertilized the bed heavily with the sweepings of the henhouse. Her flow ers all perished—were burned to death by the excess of ammonia in the fer tilizer used. A very little of this sort of fertilizer goes a iong way. J JLA- R. FORD. THEO. D. KLIXE, K. H.

FROG FOND CHILL AND FEVER CURE, One man whom we know drives a double sulky plow with four horses and has a steady old team hitched to his plow behind dragging the land as | have their innings again this spring If there is a crotehed fruit tree in the orchard which shows signs of splitting down and giving out, it may he easily fixed and saved by boring a bole at the base of the crotch and clamping the tree with a half inch bolt. It is not best to wait until the split occurs be fore this precaution is taken. The men who cut up their corn will ho turns it over. With the fat steer and the fat hog each bringing 5 cents a pound the av erage farmer will make a good deal more money out of the hog than he will out of the steer. The Jewish rabbi who fell from grace and lost his job because he fcil a victim to the seductions of a dish of smoked ham is entitled to public sym pathy on general principles. Seed flax imported from South Amer ica last year and sewn on North Dako ta farms proved so much superior to the old sort that 0.000 bushels of this variety will lie sown this season. A New Zealand paper makes the statement that a certain dairyman and his wife regularly milk 79 cows be tween them twice each day. furnishing a ton of milk per day to the creamery. when it comes to preparing the corn field for a crop of small grain. If there is any more unpleasant and unsatis factory farm work than trying to cul tivate a field covered with old corn stalks we should like to know what it is. Men will always succeed the best with that kind of live stock which they like the best. A man who dees not like sheep should never attempt to keep them; just the same with horses and cows. Men with violent tempers should not have much to do with stock any way. It is better for them to pitch hay, chop wood and dig potatoes. A busy day at the Chicago stock- yards will include the receipt of 25,000 cattle, 40,000 hogs, 25,000 sheep and 2,000 horses, which would make a train of freight cars 10 miles in length. Indications point toward the box cider bug being an unmitigated nui sance tin's season in all localities where this tree grows. They are to he seen everywhere this spring and in large numbers.

This is a mistake, the bur oak being the very slowest growing of any of our native forest trees. With the annual butchering has also departed the former almost universal job of soapmaking on the farms of the the north. The old lye vat and the big soap kettle have departed with the other accessories of pioneer life. We feel like commending red clover as the best grass to grow in the or chard. It fertilizes the trees, makes a fine mulch and does not rob the soil of moisture, as do other grasses. It is never a mistake to get clover in the orchard. A matter of 10.0CO laws have been passed by the legislatures of the sev eral states the past winter. We are a great people to make laws and the most ornary set in the world about enforcing thorn. If tiie laws made were all liter ally and rigidly enforced without fear or favor, the people would not let the legislature meet of toner than once in ten years. We have a very excellent asparagus bed made some years ago by getting a dozen old roots which were as big as a half bushel measure when dug, cutting them into quarters and plant ing the sections in a well prepared bed three feet apart each way. The bod so planted bore a full crop the second year from planting and could not very well be improved upon. We have some Northwestern Green ing apples, kept in a common cellar without any special care through the winter other than to keep them from actually freezing, which on this 20th day of April are in most perfect con dition—hard, sound and evidently with keeping qualities good till Juno. Now. this. mind, with New York Baldwins, Greenings and ether standard winter varieties badly used up. The North western Greening is a long keeper without any doubt and if it proves hardy is going to be a most valuable apple for a very large northwestern territory, where the great want has so long been a good winter apple.

We know that a few men claim that blue grass in the orchard wiil check the growth of the trees and make them boar more fruit. So will girdliug the tree or any process which will injure the healthy growth and development of the tree. In all the north central states the apple tree, and for that matter ail other fruit bearing trees, need a!! the mois ture during the heated summer term which they can obtain, and a blue grass sod under the tree defeats this and robs the soil of nearly aii moisture. Clover, the medium red. is the best orchard grass. !t fertilizes the soil while at the same time it con serves the moisture. FRESH SEEDS •Just arrived tins week— nip.

For feeding on the farm there is no way in which to get so much good out of the oat crop as by this method. The price of hay nearly doubled in the community where the writer lives during three weeks of the worst spring roads vve have ever known. This need not be if men would have forethought enough to look ahead and provide against such conditions. In selecting trees for orchard plant ing we would always take 2-year- old trees in preference to older ones. Usually the 2-year-old tree will get into bearing almost as soon as a 4-year-old and will invariably make a handsomer and more thrifty tree, and you can buy 2-year-old trees for much less money than the older and larger ones and they are much easier to set out. CYCLONES. We are asked why it is that the cy clonic season is confined almost wholly to the early summer days and why the cyclone seldom is heard of after the 1st of July. The cause of the cyclone is in volved in a good 'deal of mystery even to men who have made a close study of this singular atmospheric phenom enon. Some are inclined to concede it an electrical origin, while others as cribe it to the eiTort of nature to equal ize extremes of temperature. While very many of its manifestations indi cate the possession of an enormous sup ply of electrical energy, these manifes tations may easily be an effect and not a provoking 'cause. During tiie spring and early summer before a thermal equilibrium lias been brought about between the earth cooled iw the long winter and the air quickly warmed by the spring suns conditions exist which without doubt promote the formation of these terrors of the air. The force exerted by them will a!\vaysmain a natural wonder and belongs to nature’s outfit of worldmaking machinery which includes the volcano, the earthquake and the geyser. We only know a few things about them. They usually come between 5 and S o'clock p. m. They almost invariably come from the south west and travel to the northeast. Their destructive area is not often more than 30 rods in width, frequently less, and the distance traveled by them seldom more than 20 miles, though in this par ticular there have been some notable exceptions. No building erected by man is proof against their destructive pow er, and the only safe place when they are on deck is a hole in the ground. The level countries are far more sub ject to them than the mountain re gions, for the reason that cyclonic clouds are always very near to the earth, and in the hill countries the ac tion of the storm is broken up and in terfered with by the hills. Given a sul try May or June day, a marshaling of ragged, ominous looking clouds in the southwest, some rain and thunder and later a dull roar like a heavy freight crossing a big bridge, then is a good time to get in the cave, if you have one, or, if not, into the cellar close up in tiie southwest corner. It may hit your place, and it may net. and nobody laughs at anybody else for respecting these unwelcome visitors. HORKA/fS GREAT BARG Aim! lu seasonable and serviceable jurpnsca Regained Referring to a recent article on county fairs, a lady in Michigan wishes to add as another good subject for a premium to be offered by such associations the best kept flower gar den and the most attractive home grounds. This is a good suggestion. The offering of a substantial premium for such tilings by a county society would do much to stimulate the peo ple in these lines of improvement.
