f acts fur Farmers.
Uso paris green as soon as the" potato
beetles shall have appeared, and not post
pone tho application, as delay would he
favorahlo to tho beetles. They should be
kept down from tho first appearance.
Tho barn Is no place for a hen, says a
careful farmer. Ho Is right. If liens are
kept, they should be provided with proper
quarters and made, to stay there, or at
least not he allowed to roam at will through
tho barns and stables.
Potatoes aro ready for digglne as soon
as tho lops dlo down. It Is best to dig
them early In tho day and allow them to
remain on tho ground a few hours, when
they should ho taken lo the barn and
stored in a cool, dry placo; hut ll Is not
advisable to place, too many In a single
heap.
If wheal must follow oats or barley,
tho best preparation so far as tillage is
concerned, Is plowing, with care to turn
stubble under, then frequent cultivation to
the depth of two or thrcc lnches (not
more) tho last work, harrowing thoroughly
to make a good seed bed.
For growing cucumbers, squashes or
similar plants put sawdust or rotten wood
about them. Those who have never-tried
cucumbers on strong bushy stakes like pea
sticks will be surprltel to nota how they
enloylt. Tomatoes do better trained to
stout sticks than any other way.
Plant beet, carrot and parsnip seed
early, so as not only to get ahead of the
grass, hut glvo plenty of time for growth.
Tho most Important matter with such
crops Is to have a perfectly-Due, rich, clean
seed-bed, and to uso plenty of seed. Tho
seed Is slow In germinating, and often falls
to sprout at all.
In cleaning up grain for market, If tho
work Is done properly, there will bo noth
ing left In tho screenings but the seeds of
weeds. These should bo burned.- Kven
If there aro a few imperfect grains among
tho screenings, f aimers cab not afford to
feed tho wholo to stock, and thus get weed
seeds into their manure heaps. Screenings
are mostly giyen to poultry. This is an
other cause of loss, for they will cat many
weed seeds which are Injurious and often
stop them from laying.
Cattle aro frequently troubled with
sore feet from standing in llltny stables or
muddy yards. To prevent it keen the
stable floor and yards dry and clean. To
cure the feet wash them with warm water
and carbolic soap. Ilicak all blisters and
scabs and get a clean, raw surface. Then
apply carbolated Y&scllno or cosmollne,
mixed with enough acetate of copper
(verdlgrlsh) to mako tho ointment green.
Bandage tho feet, passing a part of It
through the left. Keep the feet dry.
Pay your subscrlptou If you are In

Tho pigs will ba most thrifty if kept in
