The Western Plowman givea the follow- ing hint which oar readera woald do well to heed: Farmers can get one valuable pointer from " plow jeokeya" they are alwaya oarafnl to have a aharp plow when ahowing up good work er l^ht draft.

One of the chief reaaena why orchards ahonld vet be oroppsd ia beoauae it requbea cultivation during toe aummer aeaaon.

There sppeara to me to be a possibility of our achieving much greater things with dairy cattle than we have done. Toe more stock the more crop*. A maximum number of cattle en a mtaiimum quantity of land necessitates artificial feeding, and thia is just what makea the soil fertile, and ao the laU set rolling by heavy atooking, heavy feeding, and heavy cropping, brings grist to the tarmer'a mill. High feedera almoat alwaya find it pays, and the extent of the purchases of a jidi- oieus farmer in artificial feci ia often the measure of hia suooeaa and the condition of his farm. "If you should call upon us about aeven o'clock to me evening this summer, and see our yeung men all dreaaed up, you would hardly think we were fanners who had been at work in the dirt all day, perhaps.
