The Market for Crabapplea. The crabapplc is one of the hardi est of trees, and, as there is nearly always a demand for crabapples in market, they are found profitable by some. The blossoms are beautiful in spring, and the trees are more orna mental than some which are used for shade and ornament. The large and growing demand for pure jellies and preserves should create a larger mar ket in the future for crabapples. Fell tlie Fowls Yon I>on*t Need. It is said that if young pullets are to be retained it will be an advan tage to sell all of the young males, purchasing males desired from a dis tance. The mistake usually made by some is in keeping all the chicks un til nearly or fully matured, thus in creasing the cost for food without re ceiving compensation in any man ner, as adult males seldom sell for more than five or six cents per pound. Such food as corn or wheat should not be used exclusively for growing fowls. Finely ground bone, ground meat and cooked potatoes will be more suitable than any other foods for hastening growth and keeping the birds thrifty and in good condition. Eirly-cut. Hay. We have often urged farmers to keep a little of the best early-cut hay and a few roots to give their animals in the spring during the few weeks before they goto pasture. A sudden change from cold to warm days gives them, as it does us, a spring feeling, or tired feeling, and a loss of appetite, so that they need to be tempted with something better than they had in cold weather. While this is important with all, it is most im portant to the cows in milk, and next in value for those soon to calve, and for the ewes with lambs. We would like all hay early cut, but where one has large fields and not all favorable haying weather some of it will get a little too old, and perhaps have to be cured too much to dry the showers out of it. —The Cultivator, How to Cultivate Cal>T»a*re. The usual practice among farmers and market gardeners is to give their cabbage three hoeings and three cul tivatings, the cultivating always pre ceding the hoeings. Under good man uring, with good seed, and the land in good condition, and average season, this insures a crop. But sometimes the land is in overgrown condition. The accumulation of plant food left overly preceding crops is something njr iW not therefore could not figure on. This, added to the usual manuring, has jumped the cab bage ahead so fast that soon after their second hoeing they promise to mature their heads earlier thau we planned fp«\ In such ease, we stop right there with our second hoeing. The wisdom of this is apparent as soon as we get to the philosophy of hoeing cabbage. Why do we hoe cab bage? The first and often the second hoeing is mostly a weed-killing pro cess. but the third, as I understand it. Is really a root-pruning process, by which we throw the plant into bud (or head), just as we create bud de velopment in a tree by trimming in its branches above ground, or its roots below ground. If on the con trary our cabbage land is lacking in condition, then it needs extra hoe ing and cultivating in the early stage of the crop, both to canture nitrogen from the air and to help the roots in their search for food. The presence of twitch grass makes another good and sufficient reason for an extra hoeing, for while that thrives no other crop can. Don't cut off the grass with the hoe, or by the costly work of digging it out. hilt hoe often ind cover the young shoots with three inches soil, and I will warrant from experience that, it will end its life v.ith the season. Where cabbage gets a bid setback, as during a dry season like last year, I do not hoe immediately after the rains come, but wait a few days until the nearly paralyzed roots have got a new start or a new set has put out. —J. J. H. Gregory, in American Agriculturist. ■F-O* ill a «ianl»T>. Everything went smoothly until the cucumbers, squashes and melons be gan to appear above ground, and then the striped cucumber beetles came out in full force and proceeded to devour the patch. Paris green was applied by means of a dry powder gun while the plants were wet with rain. It killed a good many of the beetles, but the plants Eoon began to show signs of injury, and within a few days it became nec essary to replant, nearly the whole patch. Later on air slaked lime con taining a little turpentine was applied to the plants when the beetles ap peared. and it seemed to be at least partially effective in protecting the plants. Toward the end of June, when the beetles became exceedingly aggressive In their attacks, spraying with bor deaux mixture was resorted to.and it seemed to be the most efficient rem edy tried. This mixture, composed of four pounds of lime and four of copper sulphate (blue vitrioUto 50 gallons of water, is primarily a fung icide, but it seems either to kill or drive away the striped beetles better than do the usual insecticides. Few insects besides the striped beetle caused any very serious trouble. The cutworms nipped off a few newly transplanted cabbage plants, but were dug from their hid ing places beside the destroyed plant 3 and killed. Cabbage worms were somewhat troublesome, especially on the late cabbage, but succumbed to two doses of hellebore mixed in water at the rate of one ounce to a gallon, and sprayed on the plants. The mixture was made stronger than usual because the hellebore was not very fresh. Squash bugs became numerous late in the season, and were at least par tially responsible for the almost total failure of the winter squash crop. Potato beetles were very scarce, and it was unnecessary to spray the pota toes at all. A few tomato worms ap peared, but were picked off and killed before serious damage was done.— Connecticut Farmer. Handling Dairy Product* In Hot Weatltet A good deal of the success of dairy ing in hot weather is knowing how to handle the milk, cream, butter and cheese so that there will be no waste through spoiling. A successful dairy should have its liberal supply of ice, and the dairyman who fails to make provisions for this is pretty sure to lose in the end. Very few dairies are so situated that tlicy cannot lay in a stock of ice in winter which will meet all their requirements in summer. When milk is first obtained it needs chilling as soon as possible, and ,a low temperature maintained continually. Now, if we can check the growth of bacteria sufficiently the milk and cream can bo kept indefinitely. Yet some will have their cream spoiling within ton hours after milking, and they will attribute their loss to bad luck. But absolute reliance cannot be placed on ice. This is not the only way of saving the milk and cream that the farmer has placed at his dis posal. Ice is necessary, but there is something else more necessary, and without which even ice is of little use. That other thing is cleanliness. Now. to some the idea of cleanliness acting as a preserver of milk and cream may seem a little absurd, but nevertheless there is nothing so important in the dairy as this. When the cans and milk pails are not thoroughly cleaned and sterilized from the last milking tens of thousands of bacteria will lurk in the cracks and corners, and when the new milk is poured in they will swarm throughout the mass. The bacteria are the direct cause of the milk and cream souring. We chill the milk right after the milking in order to stop their multiplication. Heat nourishes them and makes their growth rapid. When the bacteria are left in the unclean milk utensils thou sands of them are immediately mixed with the new milk, and they begin to cause the fluid to sour, no matter how soon the chilling process may begin. There are only two absolute meth ods of handling the dairy products successfully in hot weather, and by observing them one Is almost assured of no loss. The milk should when first obtained be aerated and chilled. This should be done as quickly as possible, and in the most cleanly men ner imaginable. After aerating and '•hilling the milk and cream should be stored in the dairy, where the temperature 1s kept at a uniformly low figure. Beware of opening the door to this storage room more than will cause a warmer current to pass over the milk and injure it. The next requirement is to see that absolute cleanliness is observed in the dairy, and that every pan, pail and kettle is washed thoroughly in hot water after each milking, and just before using any one of them for the new milk sterilize it. This is simple enough. Put all of them in boiling water, and then any germs, bacteria or microbes of air. dairy room or old milk will be destroyed, making the utensils ab solutely fresh and clean. —C. S. Wal ters, in American Cultivator. Oarilun Hint*. Dust, rose bushes occasionally with air-slaclced lime to kill the slugs. Try sprinkling pulverized borax around plants that are infested by ants. If rose bushes mildew in hot. damp weather apply sulphur after they are watered. Keep the flowers picked from the annuals if you would have abundant and constant bloom. Keep cut flowers fresh by clipping the ends of the stems and putting a pinch of soda in the water. The green worms which eat into rose buds can be kept in check to a great extent by dredging the plants with powdered hellebore. Keep vines well tied as they grow, and they will not straggle off at loose ends, to be broken by winds or tang led among their own tendrils. When the cacti have finished their spring blooming the pots should be plunged in a sunny border, and the plants well watered and kept grow all summer. If the rose bushes become red and rusty give them a thorough sprinkling once We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. .T.
