DAI.IXO HAT AND STRAW. v<
The importance of having hay and tt

to give them room. For home use these ' ?

ing, as the compress hound, however c
slightly, would not conic undone with i
ordinary handling on the farm. Many i
farmers who sell hay and straw put it up 1
in hales, and find advantage in it when
they have to draw it eight or ten miles.
They can easily double their loads, ami j
the hales can often he sold separately to
those not having money or room for at

drape vines of two, three or more years
old are often bought with the idea that
they will conic earlier into bearing than
those younger and of moderate size, i
There are so runny branches, each with j
several buds capable of producing a shoot
for the coming year, that the planter
supposes himself to have a sure thing on
grapes if he can make the vine live. But
with a top disproportioned in size to the J
root, as such a vine is sure to he, theresuit
is always most unsatisfactory. Kach
hud will start, it is true; hut the sap
divided among so many shoots gives each
only a feeble growth. If there are bios
soin germs hidden in the buds, they will
blast either before or after blossoming,
and produce no fruit. In fact, an old.
overgrown vine will not so soon get into
hearing, thus treated, as will the smallest

in pruning. Trying to grow too
many bunches is a freipient cause of mildew,

bunches arc small, an I weight of fruit
less than it would be with closer pruning

On n small plot of ground cnotlgh fruit, in 1
can l?c grown, if prO|>cr rare is given, to <;hi<
upply a family of ordinary si*c three l,jg
ics a <lav the year through. I am aware
at this statement may seem a rather
oad one, but those wiio have a "llttlo
rden, well tilled," will bear me out In
c assertion. It is surprising to those
ho have had no experience in this lino
i find out how much can lie grown orf a
?ry small piece of ground if proper at ntion
is giveu. It does not require
xeh an amount as ouo often imagines it
nust, because the regular u^of it on the
rfVV has a tendency to prrl^hn^ great
ffougm r?n extra occasions. Used
cgulirfly it becomes a sort of appetizer,
ind really nets as a touic of the best
kind. Its pleasant acid tones upthesyscm
and whets the appetite for a keener
ipprcciatiou of more solid food. It is
i direct aid to digestion, and those who
\it of it regularly nre seldom troubled
with those ailments which call for pills
?.d physic. The fruit eater is seldom
>illinir*.
By all means set out plenty 01 small
fruit. Have n row of currants, a bed of ;
strawberries, raspberries along the fence j
and grapes wherever a support can be j
arranged for them. If you have never j
tried your hand at small fruit culture
make up your mind to experiment with |
it, and the chances are if you take care t
of the "venture'' with which you start i
out you will be so well pleased with your '
success that in a year or two you will
^branch out" until you have all the fruit
your family requires. It is just as easy
to care* for a garden of this kirtd as it is
to properly cultivate alield of corn. But
most farmers have got the idea into their
heads that it is puttering work, and
nothing will got tins idea out of their
heads except a trial, which will be sure
to convince them that no other part of
the farm pays so well, all things considered,
as a good garden.?- Vick's M'i'jmine.

One of the principal advantages in
seeding grass in the spring is that the
danger of winter killing is largely
avoided. While grass plants will stand
considerable freezing after they get well
i established, they are easily killed when
young and tender. <Irass seed if of good
quality will remain in the soil for some
I time without starting to grow when the
conditions of germination are unfavori
able, and later on, under more favorable
i conditions they will start up and make a
"wnicn iTTmn$55t"
under all conditions is impossible. In
some I realities fall seeding proves the
best, and in others spring seeding has
been found to bo the best. Again even
i in the same localitv :i difToroni... ti,?
season will make considerable difference
in the germination of the seed and the
growth of the plants. If the seed is
sown in tin- fall the work should he done
sufficiently early to allow the plants an
opportunity to get well established before
cold weather sets in, and if this from
unfavorable weather or other conditions
ci.nnot be done the better pUtn is to defer
until spring. /
So far as possible springReding should
be done early, for while oeeasionally late
sowing makes a goo 1 stand, taking one
year with another, the safest plan is to
make all the preparations possible ahead
?nd then sow the seed early. In what J
nay he termed a reasonably favorable
lease11 grass seed can often be sown iu
in advaucc is after a light fall of snow, j
Another good time is when there has
been a slight freeze and the soil is thawing
out; the weight of the seed will
usually be sufficient to bury it deep enough
to germinate. If for any reason the
seeding is delayed until late usually the
better plan will be to cover with a harrow
or brush.
Grass and clover should be the first
crops seeded in the spring, and when it
can be done, advantage should be taken
of tIn first favorable opportunity for
doing the work.? Farm, Field and

' The bull-dog is not an animal to be

i at least entitles him to onr respect.
His tenacity of purpose Is proverbial.
\ It makes litm ft formidable adversary,
k A like trait has often enabled man to
overcome great obstacles and win vic\

In fact, it is only by tenacity
of purpose and indomitable will-power,
J that many of life's battles are brought
to a successful termination.
* Disease, like man's more material
