Brief Suggestions.

Go over the orchard and see that all the wounds are well painted. The golden wax bean is a favorite with many garden makers. It is tender, of good quality and stringless. If a small pig is chilled it can be revived by dipping it in water as hot as you can bear your hand in, then wrapping it in warm flannel. Don’t keep your horse in an overheated stable and then stand him for hours in a freezing atmosphere and wonder how he became paralyzed. Tie durability ot the mule is a strong point in his favor. He lives and works to a good old age. His “sense” of self protection is strong, and he avoids many injuries. Never get the idea in your head that drugs and health are inseparable, sot in most cases it will be found that what we keep out of the pig’s stomach has more to do with its health than what we put in. Blackberries are very prolific and ripen at the time they can be economically gathered and marketed. They are seldom injured by late frosts and for this reason are surer than some other berries that ripen earlier. The wheel hoes are great labor savers. A plow attachment is very convenient for opening furrows and to cover the larger seeds, as ;>eas, be? us and sweet corn. Some of the com-, bination wheel tools with drills, cu.tly rating teeth, plows and rakes are very satisfactory.
