In the adornment of a farm home | by the planting of shrubs and trees | little expense need be incurred. The labor of preparing a lawn or grading a driveway can be done by the farmer Layout of Farmer's Home. himself, and $10 or $20 will buy al! the ornamental trees required from | the nursery | It is to be borne in mind that trees | grow handsomer each year and wil! add hundreds of dollars to the value of the home. Notice the place the | man of means picks out when he goes | to~ look for a country home. He doesn't drive up to some tumble-down farmstead with the trees neglected | and half dead. Of course not. He | tries to buy a place with beautiful shrubs, trees and lawns. If our farms were more beautiful the boys and the girls wouldn't be so anxious to leave them. POULTRY AND DAIRY NEGLECT Two Branches of Agriculture Being Overlooked That Pay Good Prof- its to the Farmer. There are two branches of agricul- ture which pay larger than any others for the investments in them in the | central western states that are the most neglected. We refer to the! dairy and poultry industries, says the | Indiana Farmer. It is true that in a | way they are both pursued on the | farm, but back in the years when but: | ter sold for 6 and 7 cents a pound, | chickens $1 a dozen and eggs at 5 and 6 cents per dozen the men on the farm tabooed them and thought | these industries were too trifling, and | they have never gotten over it. It | is a good illustration of the force of early habits, for it sticks to most | farmers yet, though dairying and} poultry demands have quadrupled | prices in many respects. The ancient | cows which made but two or three | pounds of butter a week and the dung- hill chicks that were in the same scant class probably had something to do with forming this habit; but now that we have passed these things | by, isn’t it time to take notice more generally and to give the most prof- itable industries of the farm greater and more methodical attention? It is also to be said of the dairy in- dustry that it is one of the greatest | factors in keeping up soil fertility. | Experience has shown that where | dairying is followed as a leading fea- | ture of the farm the average yield of | corn and other crops is decidedly in- | creased. Corn and corn silage are) leading features in the industry, as / by this method the greater produc. tione of the farm are returned to the soil to enrich it. Rotating corn and clover, both of which are required in dairying, insures the nitrogen and humus so essential in the soil. Clover | or alfalfa, where it can be grown, along with corn and corn silage, make @ good ration for cows and make good rotations. With these farm crops but little bran and cotton seed meal are needed in dairy feeding to | make a balanced ration. Succession of Planting in Garden. For the vegetable garden a supply of seed should be kept on hand through the summer for a succession of planting of the quick-maturing plants. Lettuce and radishes soon go, and their rows should immediately be filled either with some other quick- maturing plants or with some that mature late in the season. Tomatoes ahd peppers, can easily follow lettuce and radishes, and late sweet corn can follow early beans. Late celery does well on early potato ground if it is fertile enough and moist enough. Garden soil is highly fertile and can stand constant cropping. There is no need of its resting and no excuse for its lying idle and growing up to weeds. Keeping every row and every square foot of the garden soil planted | with some useful plants and under the highest cultivation will not only soil moisture and liberate plant foods. The good gardener may he known by the large per cent. of useful plants. }t | dose, like the quack’s | ditions appears to have been too swift | Money and that rallroad and | stockholders, | and which made the trip to Albany 100) er ee years ago. ‘The craft, like the Imita-! | rivalry.
