JCE YEAR AGO Afarmer bought afull-blood- ed Jerseybf.ll calf with aview of raising itand grade Jerseycows for dairy pur-poses. The manVtL came to me the pastV3 winter and asked ifI knew of anyonewho wished to buy

a Jersey bull, stating that he didnot think the breed hardy enoughto' stand this climate; his reasonsfor thinking so were that aftergoing ten rods from the barn tothe well and drinking all the waterhe wanted out of a trough almost fullof ice. the mercury about 30 degreesbelow zero, would hump up and shiver.I asked him if he considered that thetrue way to care for dairy or any otherstock, unless it might be buffalo? Ialso asked him if he thought his dairy

told him if he tried beef breeds undersuch treatment I did not think he wouldbe satisfied with the returns they wouldgive him. I showed him a letter I hadjust received from the southern part ofthe state inquiring for grade Jerseycows that were either fresh or soon tobe so. and asked him if he did not thinka man would pay a fair price for suchcows if they suited him.

This mac milked. I think, six cowslast winter, giving them such treat-ment as described above. I am not sur-prised at its final dawning upon hismind that it did not pay to keep cows,but am surprised that it did not occurto him to change his methods. Imag-ine a creamery being supported in aneighborhood of farmers like this one.yet there are too many Just such in al-

most every neighborhood, and insti-tutes, experiment stations, and almostany other method of education will failto open their eyes. It seems that itmust take failure and poverty to weedthem out.

It is a very common thing for creameries to divide up their week's makeinto five or ten tub lots and ship tofour or five different commissionhouses, thereby hoping to find outwhich is the best house. A much bet-

Theywill not be squeezed up on five or tentub shipments of butter, but on fifty orone hundred tubs or a carload of fancygoods, like hog and cattle buyers, they.are perfectly willing to pay a littlepremium when they get a nice, large lotthat suits them: hence, when you shin

If the range is good do mot giveany food in the morning, but let thenight feed be as much as they will eatup clean in say five minutes, and nomore. If the range is poor, or if a.large number of hens are running to-

gether, then feed a light mess (scalded)in the morning. Remember, the ob-ject is not to fill up the crop (in themorning), bill just enough to take offthe sharp gna wings of hunger. If thecrop Is full then the fowl will takethings very easy until it begins to gethungry. Work is the keynote of suc-cess. Wc do not mean to say that thefowls slion Id do all the work. They arenot expected to clean up the rooMs orfight lice. This work must he per-formed by the one who expects to profitby the hens' labor. His reward comesby getting a good supply of eggs.

Hoc Cholera.Bulletin 36, of the Arkansas Agricul-

tural Experimental station, says:As has been said the yearly loss from

diseases of hogs seems in this state tobe greater, perhaps, than that from allother diseases of farm stock combined.During the year a number 'of placeswere visited on the request of farmerswho were losing their hogs from dis-ease supposed to be cholera.

Hcg cholera, of course, refers proper-ly to a definite disease, but on accountof its being the best known (by name)of all swine diseases' it is often con-veniently used for a'.l diseases of th-js-

animals which ppear to he of a con-tagious or endemic natnre.

Of the outbreaks of disease in herdsof swine which have been investi-gated the greater part" have beenfound to be due to cholera, but otherswere examined in which the lesions ofthis disease could not be detected. Thatinternal parasites very frequently con-stitute either the only cause or a verypowerfully assisting cause.of death hasalready been intimated. In youngpigs external parasites also, in the formof the scab or itch insect, sometimescause the death of whole litters. Thissubject has been discussed in a pre-vious bul.ctin.

There b no doubt that the manner inwhich hogs.arc generally raised in thesouth contributes greatly to the'rprcadof such contagions diseases as hog chol-era and also favors the development of

other of the fatal diseases from whichthey frequently suffer. The objection-able features referred to are. that dur-ing the first months of their growthpigs are often compelled to find theirliving on the range and in the woods,and on account of this process of semi- -

i starvation thev are not nnlr ctunioilin then growth, hut also constitution-ally enfeebled and thus rendered moresusceptible to disease: they are com-pelled or allowed to drink from poolsof stagnant water from which - theyhecome infested with internal parasites,and on account of tho free intercoursewith herds of neighboring farms anycontagious disease which may he in-troduced rapidly spreads throughoutall I he herds in the district.

As a mor.r.s of lessening the hissesfrom such diseases and otherwise can-irihuti- ng

to the more profiiah!.- - rais-ing of hogs the following suggestion::may be made, which the practical farm-er car. apply in accordance with thfacilities at his disporal:

1. A more libnrai supply f f00,(grains or grases other than theweeds of ti:c prairies or wood:;) is need-ed during the summer months.

HE EARLIER INlife a weed is de-

stroyed the easier,and the smaller thedamage it will havedone. This is al-

most self-evide- nt.

A weed is a thiefin the cultivatedground, intent onmaking a vigorousgrowth and robbing

ths rightful plants of their nour-

ishment, says Prof. B. D. Halstead,who has made a study of weedsand their . treatment. This workdoes not begin until the youngplant establishes its roots In the soiland has spread its leaves in the air andsunshine. If the' weed is killed beforethis point is reached, a double work isdone, the theft has been prevented, andthe weed is killed. The germination ofthe seed has provided the condition foreasy destruction that would not haveobtained had the plantlet remainedsnugly enveloped by the seed-coat- s.

One of the best methods of ridding asoil of weeds is to arrange for rapidwholesale germination of the weedseeds, after which the young plantsshould be promptly killed.

But all weeds are not annuals; anaf the soil is filled with those that liverom year to year, other methods of ex

termination must be followed. Weedsget their living in the same way asother plants they need to have room Inthe soil for their roots, and space inthe air and sunlight for the stems andleaves. Cut them off from these sourcesof food, and the means of performingthe vital functions, and death sooneror later must follow. It is evident thatrepeated removals of the portion aboveground will continually weaken theplant, and if to this is added an occa-sional upturning of the roots, the weedsmust die. Some of them will stand agreat deal of torture, but it is the onlygeneral way.

There is no panacea for weeds, noth-ing that can be put on a field to killthem, unless it be a full and proper ap-

plication of that which, for the lack ofa better and neater name, is called

This will not only killthe weeds, but also improve the culti-vated crops.

It is beyond reasonable expectationthat all annual weeds will be eitherkilled in the seed or soon after germi-nation; some dodge the hoe, whileothers will be missed by the rake. Thenext best thing is to keep them fromseeding. The perfection of a crop ofseeds is the end and aim of the wholeexistence of a weed. If one, for ex-ample, removes the large cup-lik- e

flower cluster of the carrot, there willsoon he a half dozen to take its placeand hurry matters, in seeming fear thatthey may share the same fate beforethe seeds are matured. If a weed getsa late start, it spends very little timeon stem building, but blossoms almostfrom the soil, and puts all its energiesinto the perfection of its seeds and thecontinuation of its species. A "pusley"plant will, if left to itself for a fewdays, ripen a million seeds, and do itwithout ostentation.

Much depends upon the destruction ofthe last weed. If 999 are killed and thethousandth one left to enjoy the su-perior advantages which the destruc-tion of the others has given, it may beworse than if all had lived andstruggled with each other through animperfect growth. One well-grow- n

and heavily-seede- d weed will leave alarge legacy for evil in a rich field. Itis the few weeds that are left in thecornfields that, having had the best op-

portunities, do the mischief and con-tinue the pests.

Weed seeds have a remarkable wayof disseminating themselves. Onefarmer, by every means in his power,roots out the cursed Canada thistle,while an adjoining field may be largelydevoted to the propagation of thisprickly pest. The thistle seeds areprovided with miniature balloons, bymeans of which they are carried bythe lightest winds and will find a fa-

vorable place to grow in the well-tille- d

field of the thrifty farmer. Therefore,in the extermination of these peststhere must be an earnest and concertedaction.

One of the first requisites to success-ful pruning is to be able to correctlydistinguish between shrub3 whichought to be pruned in winterand those which ought to be pruned insummer. If a mistake be made in thisconnection, effects diametrically the re-verse of those we wish to bring aboutwill be the inevitable result. Anotherimportant requisite to insure completesuccess is that the various kinds ofshrubs be pruned in the proper season.Owing, no doubt, to the pressure ofwork in the summer time, the pruningof flowering shrubs is too often neg-lected, and when ultimately attendedto it is. as stated above, generally leftto persons who, from lack of knowledgeor through carelessness, cut away aquantity of wood, which, if left to thefollowing spring, would produce a pro-

fusion of blossom.Let us take, for instance, such

shrubs as forsythias, viburnums,grandiflora. primuses, many

spiraeas, weigelas. etc.. which flower inthe spring or early summer. Theproper time to prune such shrubs is im-mediately after they have done flower-ing. If the plant to be operated uponbe young and expected to grow largerin order to fill its place in a bed or else-- awhere, all that will be found necessary

be to cut away part of the previousyear's growth. Special' attention will,of course, have to be paid to the bal- - !

ance of the plant, and the operatormust, as far as circumstances will per-mit, strive to give it a natural andgraceful form. If the plant has at-

tained the desired size, the old shootscan be thinned out and cut back tosuit the situation and taste or the par-ties immediately concerned, and it will Abe found that young shoots will atonce develop and be in the proper con-

dition to yield an abundance of flowersthe ensuing year. A specimen can thusbe kept in good shape, and form formany years without any apparentchange in its size. In a mixed shrub-bery this method Is of great advantage,as it limits each plant to its allottedspace and prevents it from encroachingon its neighbor, or obscuring fromview many of the finer but less robustgrowing shrubs.

Many people are under the impres-sion that such shrubs as hardy azaleas,rhododendrons, etc, cannot be success--fully pruned, but such is by no meansthe case. I have myself found it quitepracticable, by judicious and carefulpruning, to transform. In a few years.tall, gaunt, unshapely plants of thekinds just named into beautiful and de- - in

Later flowering shrubs, such as al-the- as,

hydrangeas, Roginia hispida.clerodendron, serotinum, etc., shouldbe pruned in the winter time. Summerpruning would indeed be highly injuri-ous in this case, for the simple reasonthat, by cutting away any of the younggrowths we would, in most' instances,be mutilating that part of the shrub onwhich the flowers are produced. Win-ter pruning is a comparatively moresimple operation than summer pruning,from the fact that at this season plantscan be cut back to almost any part, andin the spring young shoots will breakaway and produce a profusion of biossoma at the proper time.

For shrubs having an effect fromtheir fruit or foliage, such as berberry,eunonymus, callicarpa, mahonia, etc.. Iwould recommend winter pruning. Iftrimmed in the summer time it givesthem a stunted appearance, whichmars the beauty of their foliage at atime when it shows to the best advan-tage and is most appreciated.

It will be observed that in the fore-going remarks the pruning of floweringshrubs is simply treated in a generalmanner. Of course, it goes withoutsaying that it would be almost impossi-ble, and especially in a short article likethe present, to lay down a hard andfast rule that would apply in all cases,for the fact is that in order to obtainthe best results, each species requiresspecial treatment, a thorough knowl-edge of which can only be acquired bypractice and training. If, however, thehints given above-b- e attended to. blun-dering in pruning, and the failure anddisappointment consequent thereon,can, to a very great extent, be averted,and many a shrubbery can be .trans-formed from a chaotic mass into athing of beauty at once pleasing to theeye and an ornament in the landscape

IteatroTlne; the lleaaian My.W. C. Latta of Purdue University

gives the following advice: Owing tothe prevalence and destructiveness'. ofthe Hessian fly this year, concerted ef-

forts should be put forth to prevent arecurrence of its ravages upon the nextwheat crop. In order to prevent a se-

rious attack of "the fly" the followingmeasuies should be adopted:

1. Thoroughly burn all ed

wheat stubble in which there is not astand of youngclover or grass.

2. Prepare very early a border, oneof two rods wide, around each field ofwheat, and sow the same to wheat in.August.

3. Turn this border under very late,using a jointer, following with rolland harrow, and then sow the entirefield.

By taking this course many of theinsects which escape the fire will heburied when the early:sown border isturned under, and the late sowing ofthe general crop will avoid the earlierattacks of any remaining "fly."

If these precautions are carefully andgenerally observed by the farmers theHessian fly will not seriously damagethe next wheat crop. United effort isnecessary to be effective.

Thia la IiiteretincThe arrival in New York recently of

a steamer from the Argentine Repuhiicwith a cargo of 120.000 bushels of flax-w- ed

has brought to Iteht some inter-esting facts. It seems that quite atrade has been going on in seed fromthat far-aw- ay country for some time,about 500,000 bushels of the Argentineseed having already been sold there.Another vessel with a cargo similarto the one received, is due there soon.The flaxseed, although dirty, is report-ed to be of good quality, and the priceis equal to. $1.28 per bushel, duty paid,the latter amounting to 20 cents perbushel. Crushers get a rebate on oilcake exported, which makes the netprice about $1.20 paid for the SouthAmerican article. It is interesting tonote that two years ago America ex-

ported large quantities of flaxseednow she is importing.
