AGRICULTURAL. Prewnt-Time Pointers- The weather has been very favorable for the farmer*, the ground baring been ilry enough to be plowed and vowed or planted very early, and moat of them having their work well advanced. The Uit wek of April waa unusually cold, but not cold enough to injure fruit, unlew in a few localities, and not many garden crops had oome up that were liable to be injured by the cold, nor many seeds iu the ground that would rot instead of germinating. There may have been some who wished for more rain after they had put m their seed, but the holding off of the rain haa given their neigh- bors, who did not make aa early a start, an opportunity to catch up. And it waa better to liave the cold weather in April than to have it in May. Oraas haa seldom lookud better than it does now and the leaves and buds upon the trees are fairly forward, and so far as we have seen tr.nin they are vigorous and healthy. In brief, there aeems now a pros- pect of a prosperous season for the farmers who have prepared for it. One thing should be remembered. The weeda are hardy plants, and their seeds germinate in colder soil than will the seed of the most of our garden crops, and in order to com bat them success- fully they must not be allowed to <! too much start. Do not look at the almanac to see when is the time to hoe, but look to aee when the weeda are beginning to ahow their first leavea above ground. They kill easily then. If the cropa are such that a horse can be used among them, put on the smoothing harrow or a tine to ah harrow, ev.;n if you have to make one by driving spikes thurngh a plank to drag over the ground. If the horse cannot be used, put on men with the steel toothed rake. They will kill weeds very rapidly, ami if a plant now and then is knocked out by the rake or har- row tooth, it ia not much foes, as the root is so near the surface that it might never have amounted tornujh. And it ia belter to lose that than a dn/en that would have been kill- ed by the weeds, or so starved that they would n?t have made much growth. If after the dry spell a heavy rains comes, the rake and harrow will be needed to pre- vent the surface from baking up, so that tender plants have ditiiculty in making their way through it. Havinu obtained a good atari in the Spring work by the favorable weather, do nut lose it by neglect of the crops that ire in or by an attempt to do much more than was planned for. It is better to have a day or so to spare next Summer in hoeing or haying, or iu the Fall in harvesting, than to have three days work to 'to and only '.'4 hours to do them in. no help to be hired, and cropa lost from lack of labor. S mietimea a lazy man succeeds be- cause he does not plan any more work than he can do when the time comes that it must be .lo.ie, and a man who is too ambitious fails because he lUeinpti more than he can carry out, and has to half do a part of hia work acd leave other purUt undone. i. VKHICN ' lie 1 1",. <; ni den work may seem to be the most important for ihia month. See that most of the crops that have already !en planted are put in again about once in ten days, that is, such cropa aa pras, lettuce and spinach. Sweet corn may generally be sowed now. The first planting may not come up or may be killed by a frost, but it will not be too late to replant the land wl.en thu happen*, and li it does grow the crops will be aalalilo t high prices. An old gardener used to say that "no one ever drew a prize in (he lottery if lie did not take a ticket," and he took hia chances in the lottery of gardening and won pri/ea aa often as he obtained blanks. Knowledge of thu business and strict atteulion to it would ilo the same thing and give as fair a share of success) as skill and attention gives to the whist player. There may be times when luck will achieve more thsn science, but science anil skill generally got the most points in tho life long game. Kuans should go iu a little later than corn- ami much in thu same way, thu earliest be- ing put in, upon a possibility of their grow iug, and thu main crop when they will be very sure to do so, with later crops for fam- ily use and sales .it the home market. '1 he carrots, manrolds, beets and parsnips may be put in this mouth, carroU and table beets as early as corn can be safely planted, ami the others a little later if ground is tit and weather favorable. I )o not fail to re- member the value of parsnips, aa root feed for milch cows, as they cau be fresh dug in the Spring after other roots aro decayed or wilted and have lost much of their feeding value. In very warm localities a few cucumbers, melons ands<|uash might be put in. although the planting of them i mure frequently de- ferred until June. If put in early the ground must IK- made rich and wnrm with plenty of manure, and if there are signs of late frost they will need protection. Care of Cattle and Sheep. The cattle and sheep ire expected to get into the pasture in May, and tlie present ap- pearance of the graaa would indicate that either couM find a fair foed early iu tho iiii-iit h. Sheep need to gel out earlier, be- cause they do uot as woll bear confinement, and alxo because they bite .so mnoh closer to thu ground that they will get their living where the grass i< too short for the cow. And then the owes should all have their l.inilis by their side cow, and they need plenty of grass to enable them to give plenty of milk. But even with this it is very desirable thai tho lambs should have an extra teed of grain in a little pen by tho side of that iu which ths owes ire. Keep tin-in growing from the start with oaU and wh.-.it bran, and if iu tended for the butcher, do not bo afraid to use corn meal aud oil meal. When the cows are first turned out, give them a liberal feed before letting them uut, ! and do not allow them lo remain too long, i The change from dry feed to greeu will then be loss severe upon them, ami there will be less, chance by weakening by the loosening ' effect upon the bowels of tho green food, less chance of the Hidden quickening of the action of the inilk-sooreting organs, result-! iug in garget, and if they are fresh in milk leaa chance of milk fever. If there .ire any that are to calve soon, 'hey would probably suffer less from miuiining in tho stable or yard than they would from tho chancea of eating too much grass or of being injured by their own rough play or that of the other members of the nerd, when first let.

A lot of young cows or colts letout in the Spring, after tho confine- ment in tho bam ail Winter, are aoim-tim 4 aa unruly aa a lot of boys just let oat ot school after three hours confinement there.

The temperature U of greater importance than the quality, for while a poor quality of food may mean a (low growth and retarded development, the wrong temperature, if too warm, means a burned mouth thai may prevent eating for a while, aud too cold a temperature results in a uhilling of the digestive organs that ohecks digestion and produces sume or all of the iliseaaes, and they aro many, that reault from indigestion.

When putting in the corn crop do not for get the value of sowed corn, either as a sub- stitute fur grass when dnught makes the pasture feed short, or to l used in tilling the silo, or as cured dry, to be used ab a .institute for hay.

I this may bo taken aa a hint regard plan's. to their use upon many other Sour Curds- An inexperienced i-huusc-maker would hardly expect sour curds at this cool sesson of the year, but yet thoy often develop when uut luokod for. Whether it is tho quality of the milk prod need by dry feed, I or nearness to tho parturient period, or characteristic of temperature and season uo : are not prepared to say, but our expcru-m e hits led ua to be extra cautious in tho manu- facture of spring produced milk. Unless the cows are well fed its quality as to butter- fat is not rich anyway, and at the best gilt- edged cheese can hardly be produced before grass milk appears. Tho first thing tor the maker to do is to exact scrupulous care of the pat rons in the lunilling of the milk, and then to make a pumonul olfactory test of every moss delivered. Of course this cau- tion is always important in hot weather, but in Ihe spring many makers are prone to disregard it, and that is where they make a grave mistake and gel sour milk on their hands before they know it. C.iulion costs nothing undone should get in the habit of cxcrciaing it in t In- handling of milk whether it seems necessary or not. Cautious mak- ers always have thclwst success, and dairy men imbued with the HAIIIO characteristic funiiah the beat milk. Sour curds can first be avoided by avoid- ing sour milk. We are sure that one of the principal causes of frequency of itcid in spring curds is the fact that curd at this sea- son cooks very slowly, retaining An exces- sive amount of moisture for a long time. Acid developing to a certain limit in partial- ly cooked curd will almost always produce a sour chcuae, while the same degree of acidity developing in tho saino curd after it had been sulli -iently cook.-d will khow only a normal degro of ripcnosa in the cured cheese. This n i very important fact for makers to remember, and ve know that it will always pay them to be on tho alert in this regard at nil times of tho aouson. Win l the maker therefore oxacte perfect milk of his patrons, he must himself bo pro pai-ed to manufacture that milk without in- juring iu good quality.
