It Is worth trylilg on this plan, especially ns the seed Is not expensive, from twelve to fifteen cents per pound In ten-pound lots of the Dwarf Essex, the only variety wor thy raising. Itrtlillug Material. As it Is an object to make nil of the manure possible, tlio bedding of all an imals will be found to nld very mater ially in the matter. If there is no straw that can bo nsetl for beddlnc, nny waste material available can bo substituted. Home farmers use large qunntlties of sawdust, and shavings from the mills are found available. Anything that will absorb the liquid mul keep the animals comfortable and clean will answer a good purpose. The hogs will use up and turn into n good fertilizer a large amount of coarse ma terial, and bei'o may be Used what would hardly be suitable for cattle or horses, unless run through a cutting machine. Keep these animals well supplied with ' material and note if they do not give full value for every thing furnished in this line. rinlkj Horses. A writer gives the following cure for bulky horses: Take n small rope and firmly attach It to the horse's tail. Take a turn on the doubletree or cross bar, giving slack enough to tighten the traces. If the horses refuse to pull tighten this rope until the draft comes on the tall. No horse ever refuses to pull by his tall. When the horse starts the tall-bold, may be relaxed until the draft comes on the traces again. Many balking horses will refuse to start, ami others will start off all right, but if stopped will refuse to pull. The way to treat this form of vleo Is to pull on the tall rope until the draft comes par tlully on the tail. Then he will gb. The tall draft may then bo gradually relaxed until nil the draft rests on the traces. Persist In this treatment nnd a permanent reformation is a sure re sult lata riowlnr. With proper management plowing can be followed until the ground freezes. There ore some kinds of soils, particularly of a heavy or cloggy texture, that it is considered, belter to plow late, thus exposing to the action of the winter frosts. Some farmers like to plant corn on grass land man ured in the full snd thea plowed as late as possible before planting. In this way turning under a considerable amount of vegetable material along with the manure, thus getting excel lent results In the crops grown. . This plan makes more spring work, but to a certain extent it may be, and doubt less Is, a profitable course to pursue. Farmers should be fully persuaded in their own minds ns to these things, and follow the methods that exper ience proves to be the most satisfac tory and profitable for them. Supplying Water ta Plants. It Is not easily understood by some that plants can be overwatered. But the fact is, they may be literally drowned, and this often happens. The position of water In the life workings of a plant Is chletly that of carrier; it Is tuken up by the roots, carries food to ull parts of the plant, and mostly passes off In the atmos phere through the leaves. This rou tine Is necessary; without it growth cannot be made, while a surfeit of water brings decay of the purts in touch with the excess. The times when overwaterlng is most possible are when a plant Is without leaves, dormant or nearly so, nnd wuter cannot bo used speedily; when the soil is heavy and does not give up the moisture quickly; when a plant has been recently transplanted and new feeding liber have not been formed to take up the moisture, and when ever greens are in question, the leaves of Which do not pas the water so readily. House plants may surfer for lack of regular watering if tlio atmosphere be warm; thorough soaking, but that once is all Unit Is needed, and that the plant can well stand. Getting a Stand of Clover. Although the principal object of growing clover is to increase the nllro. Hen of the soil, laud should be seeded to clover tor this purpose long before it approaches a condition of actual pov. erty. Although the poorest field may be the one most la need of additional nitrogen, it Is not the one tost will re celve most benefit from the clovef crop, ss It does not contsln bumrsa enough so that A good catch of clove can be expected. The poorest field should hare a good large share of the barnyard manure plowed under, so that they may be ready for clover seed. Ing another year. The clover seeding should be confined to lands with a suf llclent supply of humus so that a good catch may be obtained. There are sev. eral definite reasons why soils rich In humus give the best clover catch. These soils retain more moisture and in a coplllary way. They are in a bet ter physical, condition, nnd plant food Is not only plentiful but available. Suitable preparation of the seed bed is of almost equal importance with hu mus. The Diost common practice is to seed clover after grnln in ordinary cul tivated fields, but the plan only suc ceeds well on comparatively new land, rich, mellow nnd crumbly, llrtlinnry grain fields are rather unlit for the tiny clover seeds. Unless these are scat tered on a smooth, well pulverized sur. face, many will fall to lodge at a depth permitting germination, and many will bo covered too deeply. Also a poorly pulverized soil does not permit the rise of the needed capillary moisture. The field should bo planked nnd dragged to n good seed-bed aud uniform covering. I!ye makes the best nurse crop, ns the clover gets the sun the quickest, nnd the stock should nlwnys be kept otf the first year. Prairie Farmer, CliU-kea Coop ITore Is a sketch nnd description of a coop and run for setting hen and chicks. They can roost In it till the hen leaves them.

The trouble in ventilating most sta bles Is that tho windows are situated directly back of the animals and to open them in fhe winter means draughts which are likely to be dan gerous. The illustration shows a plan for providing ventilation without in terfering with tho window proper. About two inches over tho top of the window three holes are made, each two or more inches In diameter. A frame Is built over these boles In which to run a slide, or clips of sheet iron may bo placed In position ns shown nt the lower part of the pic ture, between which the sliding board may be run. This slide should be wldo enough so as to cover the holes thor oughly, nnd fit snugly, so that when in pluce no air can come through tho holes. A handle of Iron is placed on one end for handling the slide easily. By this method as little air cun come In as ouo 'Mit 'ii''t iliif 'i.'M o o o VENTILATION FOH STABLES, wishes, or one may obtain all that can come In through the three holes by pulling the board out entirely. This ventilating idea Is very easy to ar range and the expense is merely nom inal. Further, by its use the window muy be fastened to remain closed all winter, nnd any cracks around the cas. ing filled In with paper, for the three holes will provide all the ventilation needed in cool weather. This nlnn la so simple and works so well that there I Is no excuse for not putting It In oper- i atlon In every barn. . mm i iiti.-.irtUt i.. ) FARM TOPICS.

If the pnrls green Is combined with Bordeaux mixture for spraying double the quantity msy be used. There can bo no Injury to tho vines If the proportions applied are ns Indicated. GROWING COWPEAS. Cowpeos are cnslly grown and will do well on nny well prepared soil that Is not U i sad and wet. The crop Is especially suited to the loams and lo the clay soils that nre high, well drained nnd well worked. Soils that fall to produce profitable crops of corn, clover, wheat or timothy will often yield n fair crop of cowpens. Break the land deep; work thesoll down fine; get the seedbed free from clods; make It compact nnd bo sr.ro it con tains abundant moisture to germinate the peas nt once. Plant nfter corn planting Is over this season, near the middle of June. By that time the soil Is warm and the peas will grow nt once. This Into planting gives oppor tunity to destroy the ui nual weeds that nppenr, thus preventing their In terfering with the ccwiieas later lu tho Slimmer. If the pens are l itcntled for hay tho last cultivation should bo followed with the drag. The surface should bo perfectly level nnd no clods should be allowed to bo scattered to Interfere with the mower when cutting. If tho surface is not Made level, cutting and raking the hny will cause much dirt to scatter with it. Ary one wishing to graw peas for tho first time can get much help from his neighbor, who has experience that will, la a measure, be his own after trying a grow the cow peus. Indianapolis News.

Just how far one may be able to crop the soli and return to it the mini mum amount of fertilizer aud do it profitably depends upon the soil. It Is known that certain plnuts will sup ply the needed nltrogeu to the soli uiuch cbouper thnn It can be supplied by fertilizers; it bus also been demon strated that the almost unlimited sup piles of potush lu the soli may bo re leased and made available to the plants by a proper system of soil cultivation. Hence, by these methods, tho cost of supplying fertilizers to tho soil is ma terially roduced. It must be confessed, however, that the usual way of fertilizing Is to sup ply tho soli what manure' the stock make during the white? with, perhaps, a small quantity of comiuwlal fertil izer.
