Roughness cannot be made to en-

The best flavored butter is obtained
by ripening or souring cream until
from 6 to 6 per cent, of acid baa been
developed.
Ground limestone is preferable to
burnt lime unless two tons of the for-
mer coat considerably more than one
ton of the latter.
There are very few farms on which
additional labor expended in prepar-
ing the seed bed would not yield
handsome returns.
A wide range and frequent ex
change of pasture will reduce the
ravages of the stomach worm, that
(earful enemy of the sheep.
An enterprising farmer living near
a town of 5,000 or more can sell every
pound of his butter at full retail pricea
or little above the year round
The man who la trying to raise hogs
without paature and forage crops is

No land Is so rich that Its owner
can afTord to waste the manure that
is made by his farm stock.
In this hunt for the profit dollar,
keep an eye on the combination of en-
silage and clover or alfalfa hay.
There is nothing about green fodder
that would have a depressing influ-
ence upon the milk flow of the cow.
The foundation for a silo made of
concrete and properly reinforced need
not be more than twelve Inches thick.
A half-blood Holsteln cow bred to

Sheep must play an Important part
in the restoration of fertility to the
wornout grain-raising areas of the
country.
Rotation of crops is one of the sim-
p;e, practical methods of incnsaslntf
the pioductivity of the farm and dis-
tributing labor.
Illinois milk producers found they
had to organize to get living prices
for their product. This is needed in
all lines of farming.
The most profitable way of market- I
in* grain and fodder is through stock. ;
They produce manure, which is very
necessary to the soil.

HANDY FRUIT PICKING SACK
Muoh Easier to Handle Than Baskst
as Both Hands Are Left Freo—
Best for Apples.
This fruit picking bag Is much
handler than a basket and It leaves
both handa free. It alao is easy on the
fruit, especially apples, as they are let
out easily and carefully from the hot-
| tom. To make the bag use a grain

too long or too short. The front side

The Ideal Orchard.
The ideal orchard, that which Is
most thrifty and in the long run will
yield most profitably, Is the one that
starts with thrifty and vigorous trees
that are kept growing vigorously from
the time they are set in the ground.
Once let young trees get seriously
stunted, either through lack of tillage
or spraying, and it is impossible for
them to develop into what they would
otherwise have been.

tilated. Effective ventilation can be

accomplished by making cylinders of
slats and placing two of them in a
nig eight feet square. The disks for
the cylinders are twelve Inches in
diameter with holes In the center, as
shown in the sketch. The manner of
using the cylinders Is obvious —Popu-
lar Mechanics.
T^URAL
Average Fertilizer for Fruits.
Use 600 to 1,000 pounds per acre of
s fertilizer containing, actual potash,
10 per cent., available phosphoric acid,
7 per cent., and nitrogen, 2 per cent
The plant food In a ton of the above
formula may be supplied by mixing
400 pounds of muriate or sulphate of
potash. 1.000 pounds of acid phos-
phate and 260 pounds of nitrate of
soda. On thin, sandy soils use more
nitrogen.
Canadran Apples.
Apples have been grown success-
fully at an altitude of 4.500 feet In
British Columbia.
Until the trees begin to shade the
ground they should be cultivated fre-
quently.
Pollen Is a most essential factor
In the production of all fruits and
grains.
It is a difficult matter to properly
sort and pack apples without some
kind of a sorting table.
It is almost impossible to ship red
raspberries; and as a rule it is diffi-
cult to secure good ones in the mar-
kets.
Strawberries need continual care.
New beds should be kept clean, and
shallow cultivation continued until
October.
Cherries, unlike other small fruits,
cannot be counted on to give .heavy
crops each year; consequently, the
price varies.
Keep all fallen fruit picked up. The
best way to do this is to have sheep
or hogs in the orchard; they will eat
the fallen ones.
Cut away the old canes from black-
berry and raspberry bushes. Thin
new growths to three or four.
For the home garden, red raspber-
ries are much more profitable than
blackcaps, although some people do
not like their odd musky flavor.
Now is as good a time as any to
look over the young fruit trees to see
if there are any young shoots that
will make undesirable branches later.
Professor Hutchins Is the authority
for the statement that "a systematic
weekly uprooting, cutting and burn-
ing during three years of all trees
showing evidence of yellows, at the
end of which time the disease was
practically eradicated, and the re-
mainder of the trees were sound and
vigorous."

CALUMET
BAKINO POWDER
— And it does better
work. Simply follow
your customary method
of preparation — add a
little less of Calumet
than when using ordi-
nary baking powder.
Then watch the result.
Light, fluffy, and even-
ly raised — the baking
comes from the oven
more tempting, tastier,
more wholesome.
Calumet insures the baking of an
expert. Ask your grocer to-dsy.

You don't tace money when you bay
cheap or big-can baking powder. Don't
be misled. Buy Calumet. It's mora
economical — more wholesome — gives
best results. Calumet is far superior to
tour milk and soda. •
