Poultry manure is particularly good for forcing the growth of onions. Sheep-killing dogs and egg-sucking dogs make real nice soft robes and rugs. Tan their hides. , The size of the farm is of hot so much importance as the manner in which the work is done. Too much care can hardly be taken in making sure that no weed seeds are sown with your grain seed. It is well to remember that commercial com-mercial fertilizers should not replace farm manures, but simply reinforce them. Hollyhocks and golden-glow may be grown along the fence at the back or side of the house, and require but little room. Squash bugs may be trapped by laying shingles near the plants. The bugs will be found under them early in the morning. Rotation of crops is one of the simple, practical methods of increasing increas-ing the productivity of the farm and distributing labor. There, is but little fertilizing value in coal ashes, but they will improve a stiff clay soil by putting it in better physical condition. There are very few farms on which additional labor expended in preparing prepar-ing the seed bed would not yield handsome returns. The life of a bee during the busy season is very short. Often during tie honey season they do not live longer than six or eight weegs. |
