FARM NOTES.
Any farmer can make his farm a
model with time, planning and work.
Getting along with anything that
■will do Is not making the moat of con
dltlons.
With corn, as with animals, do not
forever be mixing and crossing breeds.
By fertilization, cultivation and se-
lection, try to imr.ove the breed, and
seed corn to sell.
It is best to manure corn ground In
the winter and plow or disk It under
In the spring.
Every beekeeper needs one or more
books on bee culture, dealing with the
keeping of bees.
Farmers in general now are build-
ing in a more substantial way. The
use of concrete la responsible for a
part of It
New corn as part ration la good
for horses doing fall work, and It Is
excellent for fattening beef cattle.
Corn should not be planted on Bod
■which was broken up this spring for
the first time until late in the season.
The barn set on a concrete founda
tion looks substantial, and It Is bo,
and will last longer than the one set
on wooden posts or blocks.
As soon as the corn plants ara tall
( ■>ough so 'he driver can see the rows,
gt i->to tL« field with a disk cultivator
and aisk the ground twice.
On a hard and shallow soil white
clover does not ordinarily last more
than two years, but on the richer and
molster lands It will grow for many
years without reseedlng.
Many farmers are so Intent on ma-
king money for the money's sake that
they take n>_ thought of the great pos-
sibilities of perfect living In the coun-
try.
Alfalfa Is so unlike any other forage
crop that It requires method of curing
altogether different from that used In
curing timothy, clover or any other
meadow grasses.
A prolific queen bee will during her
life lay 1,600,000 eggs, each one-four-
teenth of an Inch long. Put together
they would make a chair: 18.4 miles
long
Bees are worth all the trouble they
require to fertilize the stigmas of the
flowers In your orchard. The yield

FOR PERFECT WEDDING CAKE
The Following Is a Reliable Recipe
Containing All the Toothsome
6weets Imaginable.
Tbe fruit should be prepared the
day before making the cake. Crea*n
together one pound unsalted butter
and one pound of sugar. Sift together
a pound of pastry flour and a tea-
spoonful each of chives, cinnamon,
mace and nutmeg and a saltspoonful
of salt, and set near the Are where
the flour will be thoroughly dry. For
the fruit have ready four pounds rai-
sins seeded and quartered and dredged
with flour, three pounds of currants
or their equivalent In dates, flgs or
prunes soaked and slightly cooked,
then chopped; a pound of citron
shaved as fine as possible, one-half
pound gro. d almonds and a half
pound each candled lemon and
orange peel shredded. For the moist-
ure have measured out one cop of
confectioner's molasses, two-thirds of
a cup rich fruit syrup from preserved
strawberries, peaches, plums or cher-
ries, and the grated rind and Juice of
one lemon and one orange. A half-gill
of brandy may be added or not as
preferred. Having creamed the but-
ter and sugar, add 12 unbeaten eggs,
one at a time, using the hands to beat
them lu InBtead of a spoon. When
well blended add part of the liquid,
then part of the flour mixture. When
all have been used bent In a half-
teaspoonful soda dissolved In a little
warm water and then mix In all the
fruit excepting the citron. When
thoroughly blended put a half-ln'"',

Nearly Everyone I* Familiar With
Spotted Appearance of Wax-
Podded Varieties.
Anthracnose Is a bean disease of
fungus origin and goes under a num-
ber of names, as rust, wilt, pod spot
etc. As there Is a tru* rust and a
wilt caused by bacteria, the name
pod spot or anthracnose is preferred
for It
Practically all parts of the bean
plant excopt the roots are subject
to attack of the fungus. The most
common indication of the presence of
the disease la the ocourrence of brown
or black sunken areas on the stems,
leaves and pods. They may also ap-
pear on the leaves and stems of the
plant soon after It appears above
ground and cause considerable losses
through a reduction In the stand. On
the older plants the attack Is most
serious on the larger veins of the
leaves and the leaf may be wholly de-
stroyed or Its efficiency greatly re-
duced. From the stems and leaves
the fungus spreads to the pods, and
as many are rendered unsightly con-
siderable direct loss Is occasioned.
The presence of the fungus's often
unnoticed until It appears upon the
young pods. On these It produces
small brown or rusty spots, which en-
Bad Roads.
There Is a matter that nakes bad
roads a factor of loss. That Is In the
sale of the farm. A farm ten miles
out on a road Impassable for five
months In a year has five-twelfths of
Its usefulness Impaired, and Is cer-
tainly worthy of 83 1-8 per cent In-
trinsically less than It should be were
the roads not so bad. Bad roads are
a deterrent to settlement thus dri-
ving an additional value away from
farm land due to Increasing popula-
tion. They act as a repellent force
to drive the boys and girls and de-
sirable citizens from farm life. Bad
roads tend to pessimism, to unhap-
piness and make an added argument
for those who would contend that
marriage la a failure and life not
worth living.
Profit In Phosphorous.
The Ohio experiment station on an
average of 13 crops of corn, 13 crops
of oats and 12 crops of wheat finds
that every dollar invested In phos-
phorous puid back $4.60 while neither
nltrogea or potassium paid for its cost
Rock phosphate used with manure
paid back $0.08.
Muskmelon Seed.
A New Jersey muskmelon grower
claims that when seed is saved at
home there Is marked Improvement In
quality for at least three years. If
this is true. It is particularly impor-
tant for melon growers to save seed
where soil and climatic conditions are
unfavorable.
Alfalfa Mills.
Many alfalfa mills are springing up
in Kansas and other western states.
One Kansas plant has a capacity of
eight carloads per day, pays $50,000
annually for its raw material. Alfalfa
meal Is now used extensively In the
cattle field.
For outing hats pins are rather de-
structive. Hat fasteners, sewed to the
edge of the headslze, should be used
Instead. They are like long hairpins
made of wire. They fasten the hat
very securely to the head, cannot be
lost and save the straw. They are
made both curved and straight and
are either sewed or pinned Into the
hat.

Corn Acreage
, In 1909 25.2 per cent of the acreage
I of the state of Iowa, and 25.7 of Illi-
nois was devoted to tbe raising of
com. Indiana had 20 per cent plant-
ed to corn and In Missouri, Nebraska
and Delaware 15 per cent of the total
area was given over to this crop.
Buckwheat Crop.
The buckwheat crop last year
amounted to nearly 16,000,000 bush-
els, the average being 19.8 bushels per
acre. The total value of buckwheat
cakes consumed wan estimated at
about $15,000,000.
8crub Hens,
Scrub bens are steadily gaining In
unpopularity. Fewer farmers keep
them now than last year. More men
have fallen In with the Idea of utility
stock.
The great farm cry now Is, not more
land, but more fertile land. And the
only solution In successful future farm-
ing 1b In the Increased fertility of the
soli. It must be made more fertile:
j future human food supply depends
I noon it.
The artistic arrangement of window
boxes Is a form of decoration that In-
terests almost every woman, espe-
cially the home gardener, who has dis-
covered that certain combination*
flourish so they need no renewing
throughout the season. Of the lat-
ter geraniums are satisfactory be-
cause they require little care and put
forth an endless succession of flow-
ers. I often wonder why climbing
geraniums are not used more, for they
are effective. In England one sees
them everywhere and they grow fine-
ly in any place except where hot sun
beau on them all day. They require
Uttle shade and an even amount of
moisture. Given that they flourish.
English daisies are also pretty for
boxes and If clipped occasionally will
put forth blooms several times a sea-
son. Their foliage Is fine and the
Uttle white blossoms are lovely. Nas-
turtiums are as obvious as geraniums,
and for the same reason.
Many persons will say 'hat hello-
trope will not thrive In window or
plazsa boxes, but such has not been
the experience of the home gardener.
Bbe has raised both purple and white
ones. Nor does 6he find the care of
them difficult Heliotrope cannot have
too much sun, and it must be watered
often. Heliotrope cannot be placed in
a box which Is narrow or thin because
the roots will feel the heat of the sun
too much. The box holding them
must fcs> deep, so the same conditions
will prevail as If they were In the
ground.
Petunias, especially the double va
rieties, are charming for window
boxes. Not good for cutting, the flow-
ers have a delicate odor which be-
comes evident the Instant they are
damp. Double white petunias suggest
roses, and once firmly established
these grow rapidly.
Amateurs must not try to raise
them from seed. The small plants In
two-Inch pots cost little and bear
transplanting.
The most common cause of spln-
dllng and scraggy looking window
boxes is that the roots are not kept at
u even degree of moisture. To douse
tbe soli to a condition of mud and
Vat tt dry to powder affects the
plant precisely as extreme changes of
temperature do human beings. They
become weak trying to adapt them-
selves.
The soil must be kept damp, and to
do this successfully the hexes must
be Intelligently observed ea^ day.
When a high wind has been blowing
the dirt will be dryer than on a damp
day, and when the sun beats down se-
verely moisture will naturally dry
sooner. For this reason the amount
of water given varies from day to day.
FOR SCHOOL WEAR
For the foundation of a novel and
palatable dessert take a freshly baked
cottage pudding, or some stale cake,
which must be steamed enough to
moisten, and used while warm. As It
must be prepared several hours be-
fore serving time, It is especially
adapted for a Sunday dinner dessert
Open a quart can of blackberries,
pour into an agate saucepan and
bring to the boiling point Move to
baok of range to keep warm until
wanted. Place squares of tha *rarm
cake or pudding In an earthenware
pudding dish. Cover with generous
spoonfuls of the hot berries and Juice,
then another layer of the cake, pack-
ing It In well, then more berries. Al-
ternate until the dish is full, using
plenty of the fruit, as the cake will
absorb a quantity of Juice. Cover
with a plate and place thereon a
heavy weight—a flatlron will answer.
When cool, put In the refrigerator,
and at serving time It should be
turned out of the mold and sliced
evenly. Serve with thick, rich cream.
Rhubarb Sirup.
Out unpeeled rhubarb into pieces
and weigh. To Beven pounds of fruit
add two pounds of sugar, and put Into
a preserving kettle. Add three and
one-half pints of water and boll for 40
minutes, stirring constantly. Press
through a fine hair sieve and bottlei
If you like, you may add the thin peel
of a lemon to the sirup. When ready
to drink add to the sirup an equal
quantity of plain or mineral water,
and serve with crushed Ice.
Old Colonial Ham.
prepare and boll the ham Just the
same as an "Old Maryland Baked
Ham." After the skin Is removed
(after the bam has been boiled) cut
a,generous slice out of the center of
the ham and fill It In with old Mary-
land filling (the same that you use
to fill fowls with), then stick the ham
full of cloves, sprinkle with black
pepper, bread crumbs and brown
sugar, and put It in the oven to bake
a nice brown. This ham was used
for dinner on Easter Sunday <n colo-
nial times.
