TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. This is to certify that I have examined the black Stallion “Urfe,’ v owned by Rich & Sunderland, in charge of W. A. 42rvin, and find him in good health and perfectly fertile, and should be a good foal getter. Signed H. J-. KANN AL, M. D. C. RAISE MULES. O. J. Kenton’s, of near Surrey, reputation for keeping the best individual and collective lot of stallions and jacks is well known. The best evidence of this Is the get. Mr. Kenton has the best lot of colts and young mules to be seen in Jasper county. One pair of mules, coming four years old, which had never been harnessed, sold for $425 last winter and 10 less than a year brought 31,000. A few more choice mares will be served this season. JFrom Kentucky Morgan 4717, a beautiful chestnut, and Richmond Squirrel, a stylish, rich brown Kentucky roadster, Marcus, a dark brown 1800 pound Belgian, James Madison No. 287 and Henry Clay a 16-hand jack, make a combination that can not. be equaled any where in northern Indiana. Nothing raised on the farm can show a profit equal to Mr. Kenton’s mules, sales of which are mentioned above. Horsemen and farmers will profit by noting these facts.

Farm and Garden

PLOWING AND DRAGGING. System Will Save Time and Trouble In Farm Work. In plowing alm to have the plow clean and free from rust, so It will acour at the start. Couple the horses closer to the plow than to a wagon. See that the clevis la adjusted so It is in a direct line and causes the plow to go the proper depth. Take pains to have a steady, even pulling team. See that the harness fits just right and everything Is in order. For plowing level make narrow lands and consequently more dead furrows. Go to the side of the field and step off the

PLAIN DUTCH HARROWING.

required distance at each eud and place' a pole upright at each end and at the end opposite to 'the one w here you commence plowing. Place another pole farther on, lining it up with the end poles. Step off the same distance •t each end that you do at the sides, so the land will be the right proportion. Start the plow and keep the two end poles in line between the horses’ heads, and get a straight furrow to start with. All that is now necessary is to keep the back furrow straight with the other, and after that keep the horse in the furrow', and turn the soil in even layers, slightly lapping over, leaving no space between them. As soon as a land is finished harrow and drag it before commencing another field. If using two teams, the first one to finish uses the harrow and drag. This rests the team by a change. This method puts the land in fine condition and saves much future work, as freshly plowed land works much better than where an entire field is plowed before dragging or harrowing. Dragging “Dutch fashion” may be new to some and prove of value. Its advantages are that it drags neither lengthwise nor square across the furrows and makes easier corners than the ordinary diagonal dragging. The plain Dutch fashion Is shown in the diagram. Commence by “striking out” from A to B. Turn to the right and go back on the left side of first track till you reach edge of field near A. Drive across the first track and back oh the opposite side to the other end. Cross over and back on opposite side again. . Continue crossing over at each end inside your last track and outside the last track along the sides. When half done the piece will look like the first diagram, and the next trip would be from C to D, to E, to F, to C. When done the last trip would be from G to H, and the piece will have been drag ged twice diagonally In opposite directions. This w'orks well on pieces that are nearly square or not more than twice as long as wide. Of late, said one who had tried this system, we have found that it is economy in plowing, cultivating, etc., to make our lands as long as possible. On these Dutch dragging did not work as well, as it was too near lengthwise the furrows, so we hit upon what we call “crazy Dutch,” shown in the second diagram. We “strike out” zigzag across the piece two or three or more times, according to Its length compared to width. The diagram shows three times —viz, from A io B. to C, to D. Turn to the right and go back on left to first track to C and drive across It Go on right side to B, then up left side to A. Cross over and back on left side of B. Drive straight across the first two tracks, turn to the left and go on right side to

C, where you will cross the two tracks again, and go on left side to D. Al ways go straight ahead till you get to the edge ot the field before you make a turn. When half done it will look like the picture, and the next trip would be from E to F, G, H, I, J, K, E, E. When done the last trip will be from M to N, O, P. This looks complicated, but It Isn’t half as hard to do It as it is to tell about it. At least It seems that way to me just now. In striking out we never measure a piece, but guess at the angles. However, the truer you get it struck out the better it works out in finishing. Eastern Poultry Plants.

GRASS CULTURE.

Forethought and Intelligent Supervision Incur* a Good Lawn. Great care should be taken by the gardener with his lawn. It is the canvas upon which he will paint his flower bed pictures and landscape effects. To be successful he must prepare his canvas well. The first thing is to grade y the ground, smoothing rough surfaces, making proper level stretches and gentle slopes. If possible, the lawn should slope from the house. The grading should be done so as to distribute evenly all surface water, avoiding the formation of little runs which might produce washouts. The soil should be enriched with r liberal supply of well rotted manure. This is essential where the soil Is lacking In humus; otherwise bone meal or other good fertilizer Is useful, and manure often contains the seed of weeds. The ground should be plowed or spaded not less than eight inches deep, removing all the stones and similar material, and the surface made as smooth as possible. Then it is ready for sowing. One of the best mixtures for the lawn is four parts Kentucky blue grass with one part of white, clover, sown not less than five bushels to the acre. Equally good results are usually obtained by the use of redtop In place of the blue grass or with equal parts of redtop and blue grass and a little white clover. When moisture Is plentiful the blue grass forms a softer turf than the redtop. but does not seem to endure drought so well. In shady places the blue grass mixture is best. Nothing but pure seed should be sown. It Is well to be liberal with the seed, not to scatter It too thinly and to reseed portions that come up poorly.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS. Easy to Raise and Profitable if Properly Marketed. Brussels sprouts may be easily grown in the ordinary home vegetable garden. The plant is a close relative of the cabbage and cauliflower, but instead of producing a single head forms a number of small ones in the axils of the leaves, and these heads are called sprouts and are the edible part of the vegetable. The sprouts average one or two inches in diameter. The seed should be sown in the open ground as early as the weather permits. When the plants are three inches high they should be transplanted or thinned out into rows twenty-four to thirty inches apart and about two feet apart in the row. The plants must be well watered after they have been moved. As the small sprouts begin to crowd the leaves should be broken from the stem to give the small heads more room. A few leaves should be left at the top of the stem where the new beads are formed. In warm climates the plants may be left in the open ground all winter, the heads being removed as desired, but in more northern latitudes plants that are well laden with heads are taken up when frost comes and set close together in a pit or cellar or a “cold frame” or bed covered with glass. With a little soil packed about their roots they may in this way be kept all winter, being used when needed. When boiled or stewed with cream they are delicious.

GROWING RHUBARB. A Crop That Pays Well For Vary Little Outlay and Work. The best crop, counting expense of growing and amount of land used, is pieplant. Procure some roots of the Linnaeus variety that is early, tender and, while growing very large, is less acid than many other kinds. Prepare the bunches by putting five or six stalks in a bunch, tying it securely at the butts of stalks and again around the leaves just above the stems; then with a sharp knife cut off a portion of the leaves, leaving about a third of the green leaf on the stalk. It will wilt less quickly with a part' of the leaf on than with the whole leaf or where only the stalk has been left The rows should be six feet apart and plants four feet in row. The only work expended on it is to cultivate two or three times early In the season and hoe it once. In the fall the rows are covered with a mulch of strawy manure. Pull It late in the day, tie and trim the leaves, then pack it in sixty quart berry crates. It does not wilt as much if crowded in tightly. Rhubarb may be made to yield about $35 to S4O an acre per month.

Spraying Potato Vines. The number of sprayings It will be necessary to give potatoes depends somewhat upon the season. If rainy weather prevails it will be necessary to spray more frequently than if it be comparatively dry, not only because the rain will wash the spray material off the vines, but also because damp weather is favorable to the development of the disease. A good general rule Is to begin spraying when the vines are about six inches high and spray every ten days or two weeks throughout the season.—W. J. Green. Alfalfa and Water. To grow alfalfa we must first of all provide a soil which is dry by nature or which is underdrained. If we dig a post hole four feet deep and find water we may know that alfalfa will not grow there. There is an old saying which expresses this, “Alfalfa will npt grow With wet feet’’ Though it seeks water in a deeper soil and the roots penetrate very deeply indeed in an old field, we must not expect it to.-grow where'the water rises to within four feet of the surface.
