HINTS FOR FARMERS

Nitrate Fertilizer*. I The use of nitrogen as a fertilizer ■tarts a quick growth, as shown in the Igreener and more vigorous leaf. The jresulta are so prompt and noticeable 'that the value of nitrogen is often loverestlmated. Nitrate of soda on new •own grass land or similar crops acts Almost like magic, the difference In the fcrowth being seen a long way off. But fit should be noticed that the growth 'produced by nitrogen is weak and 11aIble to lodge , and that there is more water and loss nutriment In the product, also more liability to rust and other diseases because of the tender, unsound nature of the nitrogen forced jgrowth; Even the weeds arc more 'liable to mildew on land that has been made too rich in nitrogen. A single kind of fertilizer will serve a useful purpose for the time being, but its use :must l>e followed by a “square meal” In the line of plant food.—American Cultivator. —— . Farm Notes. Overstocking should be avoided under all circumstances. Fatten the undesirable sheep and turn them into money. Now the farmer with a good store of pumpkins laid aside is smilihg. If you buy whole grain to feed, be 'on your guard against weed seeds. Now you are wondering bow you did without the spreader so many years. If there is more than one place for .the same tool there Is almost sure tc (be confusiou and loss of time. This year’s failures will promote |next year’s successes if you are pro gresslve. Manure that is put upon the field promptly is worth twice as much as that piled up in the barnyard and spread six months later.—Kimball's Dairy Farmer. Keeping Up Fertility. ( The big income that every farmer (reaps comes from the products of the 'soil, whether marketed as such or In (the form of meal, butter, wool or whatnot, It behooves every farmer, then, to keep the soil just as fertile as possi;ble. Enrichment must l*e added to n soil every year to replace that remov led by the crop or else deterioration re traits. Sheep are valuable In furnishing .that enrichment. They are Ideal pasture animals, they deposit manure in the jield whore it’ Is needed, doing jaway witli the necessity of hauling Jl. [Their value as fertilizers is not to be .lightly considered, ns the man will soon find who has once had them and then got rid of them.

, Horse Wisdom. | Abuse spoils liimv .good horses than any other cause. An ordinary temipered animal nia.v easily lie transformed Into a perfect savage by, a tactless driver. Do not buy a horse with a narrow or shallow chest or whose fore legs are very close together. lie has not sufficient room for a set of strong lungs ami will qoi he long winded. 1 Fai'mei/s do well to purchase good mares rather than Inferior geldings. The gelding Is valued solely for the laibor he can perform, while from the rnare a reasonable degree of labor and a continued profit In breeding .may l>e expected.

Improving Poor Butter. The best way to treat butter with an Impaired flavor is to remelt It. air It. reripen i( and reehurn ft, Thih’ is called renovating, a process that is kept more or less a secret. The next best thing to d'> is to “ladle" it. whieli :tneans to thoroughly wash it in coil water, then result and rework "it. It is very often necessary to color the salt In order to get .the butter of a uniformcolor. Neither of these processes will jproduce goid butler from bad. but jboth will improve the flavor if properly done. Hoard's Dairyman. t ' i The Orchard In Winter. Winter is a good time to give the orchard some attention iu the matter of destroying insects. Insect pests live In all stages during the winter, and much can be done during the cold months to decrease the insect crop of the following spring and Increase the following season’s fruit crop. Clean cui around the apple trees and scrape off the rough bark to get rid of hibernating borers and other species. A •praying is claimed as a good thing by 'Professor Johnson of the Colorado experiment station. Stable Ventilation. In building or improving baraa or any buildings In which stock Is to be ftept provide ventilation. This is of ■Bpreme importance If you would have [healthy animals. There is almost as Mitich necessity In providing them with gpore sir as food.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Tomato Mustard. Wash and boll a quantity of tomatoes until thoroughly cooked. Mash and strain the same through a fine Mere. To every two quarts of tomatoes prepared in this way add two tablespoonfuls of salt, one even teacupful of sugar, replace on the stove and boil. While this liquid la boiling add slowly one pound of ground mustard previously mixed thoroughly with good, sharp vinegar to the consistency of thick cream. 801 l flv* minutes. Stir constantly to prevent burning and lumping. Bottle and seal while hot. Let stand a week before using. This will keep a year or until opened. Keep in a cool, dry place. Browned Flour. For the making of gravies, thicken lng of roast gravies, it will be found useful to have browned flour on hand at all times, which can readily be kept In a closed Jar or any covered vessel. To brown this flour there is no better way than to put a quantity on a pie or cake tin Into a hot oven, say, while roasting or baking or after through with either and the oven is still hot. Brown to the desired color and put away for future use. This will be found convenient and a time saver In a great many Instances. Rice Corn Bread. Take two-thirds of a cup of rice boiled In salted water, one teaspoonful of butter and one cup of milk. Beat together two eggs and two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Tut the eggs, sugar, butter, milk and rice together, then add two tablespoonfuls of flour mixed with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a saltspoonful of salt and one cup of yellow corn meal. Mix all thoroughly together and bake In a moderate oven for half an hour. Attachment For Carpet Sweepers. An Implement for household use recently invented is ah improved attachment for sweepers for conveniently cleaning carpets after being swept. It Is designed for wiping over the surface of the carpet after It has been brushed. After the carpet has been swept and the accumulated dust and dirt taken up the brush Is removed from the sweeper and a wiper substituted, t lie latter being so constructed as to be readily Inserted In its

WIPES THE CARPET.

place. The wiper consists of a roller carrying a net or cloth which lias been dampened. As the wiper travels over the carpet it gathers up all the dust which remains after sweeping. This wiping, which is very easily accomplished by the sweeper, would lie Impossible by hand. The willing with the damp cloth also brightens the colors of the carpet and considerably Improves their appearance.

Hint For Washing Hair. To avoid tangling the hair when washing It first separate It Into two parts by running the comb from the forehead straight down the back of the head. Then divide each of these parts into two and make four small braids instead of one large one. When the washing is done if each braid is taken out and combed by itself there will be few, if any, tangles. This is an especially good idea in washing a child’s hair. Filling For Cream Puff*. Wet four tablespoonfuls of cornstarch with enough cold milk to work smooth. Heat a quart of mijk au<l add to It slowly, stirring constantly, two eggs, beaten light, with a heaping cup of granulated sugar and the dissolved cornstarch. Stir until thick and smooth, adding more sugar If not enough. Add a tcHs|toonful of butter, aud when this is dissolved take from the fire aud stir In vanilla flavoring to taste. When cold, fill the puffs. * Keep Juice In Pies. Save dough trimmings from edges. When pies are ready for the oven moisten the edges and use trimmings for binding the edges over and under. When the pie is done loosen and remove the binding with a knife. You will have a nice brown crust—no burnt edge or soggy bottom. Every morsel can be eaten. To Avoid Chapped Hands. Take a small wilt bag and put abdut a cup of oatmeal into It, tie it tight and place In a small dish beside your soap dish, and when the children have washed and dried their hands with the towel have them dust the lacks thoroughly with puff. Nut Bh*lling Hint. To remove pecan and hickory meats whole pour bolllug water over the nuts ■nd let stand until cold, then crack with a hammer, striking the small end of the pecan snd the edge of the hickory nut.

CROP REPORTING.

How tho Bureau of Statistics Does the Business. The bureau of statistics Issues each month detailed reports relating to agricultural conditions throughout the United States, the data upon which they are based being obtained [through a special field service, a corps of state statistical agents and a large body of voluntary correspondents composed of the following classes: County correspondents, township correspondents, Individual farmers and special cotton correspondents. The special field service consists of seventeen traveling agents, each assigned to report for a separate group of states. These agents are especially qualified by statistical training and practical knowledge of crops. They systematically travel over the district assigned to them, carefully note the development of each crop, keep in touch with best informed opinion and render written and telegraphic reports monthly and at such other times ss required. There are forty-five state statistical agents, each located in a different state. Each reports for his state as a whole and maintains a corps of correspondents entirely independent of those reporting directly to the department at Washington. These state statistical correspondents report each month directly to the state agent on schedules furnished him. The reports are then tabulated and weighted according to the relative product or area of the given crop in each county represented and are summarized by the state agent, who eo-ordlnates and analyzes them in the light of his personal knowledge and conditions and from them prepares hts reports to the department. There are approximately 2,800 counties of agricultural importance in the United States. In each the department has a principal county correspondent. who maintains an organization of several assistants. These county correspondents are selected with special reference to their qualifications and constitute an efficient branch of the crop reporting service. They make the county the geographical unit of their reports and after obtaining data each month from their assistants and supplementing these with information obtained from their own observation and knowledge report directly to the department at Washington. In the townships and voting precincts of the United States in which farming operations are extensively carried on the department has township correspondents, who make the township or precinct the geographical basis of reports, which they al§o send directly to the department each month. Finally at the end of the growing season a large number of Individual farmers and planters report on the results of their own individual farming operations during the year, * With regard to cotton, all the Information from the foregoing sources Is supplemented by that furnished by special cotton correspondents, embracing a large number of persons intimately concerned In the cotton Industry, and in addition Inquiries In relation to acreage and yield per acre of cotton are addressed to the bureau of the census list of cotton ginners through the courtesy of that bureau. Adjustable Farm Gate A heavy gate is very apt to sag even If carefully constructed and fairly well braced. A good plan is to make an adjustable brace like that shown iu the illustration. The post B is mortised into the sill A firmly and braced at the sides with the strips C. A sub-

When the gate wigs lift the pole D' and adjust the brace E to a not lier*of the holes, thus taking up the sag. Value of Manure. While manure may contain only the same amount of actual fertilizing constituents as a given amount of commercial fertilizer, its benefit to the soil is sometimes much greater owing to its addition of humus. When manure is Incorporated with a soli It greatly Improves the texture, loosening a heavy, compact soli and binding together a light, leaeby one, making the soil more friable, warmer, more retentive of moisture and more congenial to plants in every way. Some experiments conducted by Professor King at the Wisconsin agricultural experiment station showed that certaiu manured land contained eighteen tons more water per acre In the upper foot of soil than similar land uninanured and thirty-four tons more in the soli to a depth of three feet. Manure exerts a quicker beneficial influence ou the texture of soils than green manures. He concludes that manures will ajeo'aid In equalizing the supply and distribution of water In the soils, that they will exert a material Influence In making soils warmer and that manured tend.: Is less subject to the denuding effects of wind and rain.
