To a certain extent the grower of wheat, corn or cotton might learn 4 lesson from the truck gardener. By diversifying our crops we not only make more certainty of profit, but we tend to prolong the growing sea- son. The thrifty gardener is usually harvesting hés first crop about the time the farmer is plonghing for seed : In the decomposition of or the burning of all substances gases are which are taken up by the absorbs mois- ng. air,. ture. eral elements are just. w ed for the feeding provision of n think that winter is idle waiting until the time study, plan, prepare. e regular occupa a portion of each you a more formidable kind. nsume the meat of y mingle the dust t unsalable. r this and other @ent them with bisulphide of carbon. Living in a country of vast areas and resources, it is not strange that farmers should have something of the spirit of their surroundings. There follows the tendency to de- tails; but the history o show negiect i all lines 'of matters that men have been pared to win success in more exten- sive fields. Asrkiragus crowns planted three feet apart sometimes have not enouch room inte wineb te ery. As all the rocts grow horizontally, they must be plantea about six inches below the suriace to get moisture and food from the soll. Supplies below them are seldom reached. If plunted nearer the surface, they grow more rapidly, but invariably die. ' Although you hare concluded that there is more money in other crops than in wheat, it may not be c wholly abandon this cereal. krow that {ft fs one of the verr grains with which to seed clover, and sometimes the difference between 2 good and a poor steding of clover will | amount to more than any on the wheat itself. During the depression market derera have had rather the best of the bargain, and have suifered less than most other classes of farmers.

STOCK. Most of phe ery for the necessity for'the sacrificing ol stock in the fal eomes from regions where but little provision is mude for winter shelter.

Horses fed in the middle of the day with broken an'! meistenet grains will be in finer condition at night than those fed whole grains. At noon they are in a tired condition, and the stom- ach is often unable to properly handle the food put into it. and they are put to work weain before their ration is digested at all.
