True farm- ing is not to cultivate large acres, but to concentrate the manure and fertiliz- er on a limited area and make the land produce crops from early in the season until late. There is nothing to prevent the farmer from growing onions as well as wheat. The one crop requires more labor than the other, but it is from the proper application of the la- bor that the profit is derived. The de- mand of the markets should be studied and the demand supplied, no matter what kind of crop may be required. When grass is allowed to produce seed it exhausts the soil more than when a crop of hay if cut before the seeds are permitted to appear. When seed heads are formed the plant has filled its mission, and has stored in the seeds a larger proportion of the miner- al elements than remains in the stalks of the plants, as in many cases, the green plants, when cut down early, consist largely of water. A grain crop and a crop of seed from grass deprive the soil of a portion of all the fertiliz- ing substances that exist therein. Crab grass will now begin to take | The only | possession of the ground. onl mode of keeping it down is to kill it when it first appears. After it becomes established it can only be thgroughly removed with the hoe. Among the seedling strawberries this season is a variety that clears itself from the stem when picked, but it not adapted for shipping long distances, As a berry for family use, however, it is excellent, being very sweet. It needs no stem- ming after it is removed from the vine. Strawberries have been grown to an | enormous size this season. Mr Wil: liam Elvins, of Hammonton, N. J., who ships thousands of quarts to mark- et, filled some of the boxes with only thirty berries to each box, some of the berries being three inches in diameter. If the strawberry continues to im- prove in size at the present rate of pro- gress it will soon be as large as the ap- ple. Already berries have been pro- duced that were larger than plums, Heavy sod ground is not easily re- duced, but if corn is planted on such land the keeping down of the grass will cause the sod to rot, and when the next crop is planted less work will be required. One of the best fertilizers, and the cheapest, is lime. When lime is freely used and applied every year, the soil becomes more easily worked, . the available proportion of plant food is increased, and the manure more quickly decomposed. In giving salt to animals it should be done in a manner to allow each ani- mal to partake of as much as it desires and prefers, instead of giving the salt in the food, thereby compelling some animals to use more salt than they wish. Each animal has its individual preference, and the proper mode of al- lowing salt is to place it where the ani- mals can have access to itat all times, as each will use only the amount need- ed. The rosebug is an enemy that is very difficult to destroy. They come in countless millions, and attack all kinds of fruits. The grasshopper plague is not to be feared more than the rosebugs. As yet no certain reme- dy has been discovered for combating them, as it is diffiult to poison them unless the poison is used in such quan- tities as to damage the trees and fruit as well as adding largely to the ex- pense. It is claimed for land plaster that even in times of drouth it keeps the plants green by absorbing moisture from the atmosphere. In some sec- tions, where plaster has been scattered around the hill of corn, this claim has ter around them not only showing a greener tinge, but also withstand- ing drought better than the stalks to which no plaster had been applied. There is quite a difference in trees that have been properly pruned and those that have been allowed to grow too much wood, so ‘ar as the thrift .of the trees are ooncerned, as the trees that have been cut back will produce more new wood, send out more rootlets and be in better condition for produc- ng a crop of fruit the next bearing sea- son. Experiments made in spraying one side of the peach trees with insecticides and leaving the other side untouched confirm the claim that the depredations of the curculio and other insects can be prevented, as the comparison of the trees show great advantages resulting from spraying. Do not be afraid to plant more peas for a late supply. If the fall-growing "varieties are used it will do but little injury if they fall over. Do not be de- terred from planting because of the dif- ficulty of providing supports, as they may be omitted. : {lv may be mueh easier to allow the trees to have the branches high in or- der to permit the horse and cultivator to work rear the trees, but the trees that are cat back and kept low can be easier and better harvested of the fruit. When cucumbers are planted place some brush near the hills, so that the vines ¢.n climb on the brush for sup- port, In this manner the young cu- cambers intended for pickling can be wore easily picked. When the pig pen gives off an odor that reaches the dwelling house it indi- cates that more composting material is needed in the pens. After each rain the cultivator should be used if the young weeds are to be removed and the soil prevented from baking and becoming hard. Kill the peach borer, whitewash well around the trunk and then bank up the earth around the trees. core Deen verified, the stalks that had plas said a man who has handled a good many of them. ‘There are the national bank bills and the Government notes. The former have vignettes on each end, the latter on the left-hand end only. The Treasury Department made a mis- take in putting the vignetle on the left end of the Government note, for this reason : Take a bundle of these bills in a bank, the bank clerk in counting such a bundle places his left hand on the left end of the bundle and counts the right end with his right thumb and finger. The vignette is the most difficult thing to counterfeit, and for that very reason it is counterfeited most. In counting such bills as I have been speaking about this vignette is not seen by the bank clerk, and he is more liable to count in a spurious note than if he saw the vig- nette. The expert knows a bad vignette almost at a glance. I think if the Treasury Department had thought of this the vignette would have been put on the right end of the bill.” This was told to the cashier of a Dear- born street bank, He smiled when he heard it. “In the first place,” he said, “bank clerks do not count bills in the way you mention. If they do they vio- late orders. The instructions are that they shall handle the bills so that each one will come entirely within the range of the eye. - I presume there are viola- tions of this rule in every bank. Even £0, an expert has other means of detect- ing a bad bill than looking at the vig- nette. However, I am of the opinion that the vignette would be an additional safeguard if it were on the right end of the note.” —Chicago Tribune. Remarkable Pieces of Cutlery. “Yes” said a Main street hardware dealer, “that is the largest knife in America. It was made to order by a firm in Germany. One man did the ‘whole job, and it took him just a year.” The knife in question is known to al- most every person in Cincinnati, and perhaps for a hundred miles around. It has fifty-six blades and is a tool chest in itself containing everything from a slen- der toothpick or a cigar punch to a pair of scissors or a handsaw. The handle is of tortoise shell and the movable parts are plated with gold. It weighs thirteen pounds, and a modest card attached says, “For sale, $500.” “That is not the largest in the world- though,” continued the dealer. ¢Jona- than Crooles invented and made a uni- que and superb specimen of cutlery in the shape of a knife with 1821 blades, which has been the wonder of the world ofcuatlers. He then worked for Joseph Rodgers, of Sheffield, England, who now has the big knife in his possession. But Crookes has since started up in business for himself, and with his old employer and George Wostenholm has made Shef- field famous for its cutlery.—Cincinnati Tumes-Star. Ostentation at Funerals, It is a sad commentary on a Christian community, which takes that distinc- tive title from a religion whose founder is called the Consoler because his word plucks the sting from death, that it sur- rounds death with every circumstance of woe and gloom. The distinctive minis- try ~f the faith seems to fail at the very point to which it is especially addressed. The natural Christian tone at the burial of the dead would seem to be the cheer that springs from the thought of immor- tality——a sublime hope, a tender resigna- tion. The Christian thought in that hour should instinctively dwell upon the soul, not upon the body, and the simplest and most unostentatious rite of burial would seem to be the most truly Christ- ian. But the ostentation of Christian funerals has become so great that burial reform associations are formed, both in this country and in England, to relieve the poor of the painful and needless cost which from mistaken respect for the dead, they will not spare so long as os- tentation is the custom. Tae RuLiNg Passion.--Deep river toasts that it is the home of the most philosophical man in Connecticut. A few days ago he was leading a Durham bull; of ~wirich he thinks the world, when the animal, becoming angry, knocked his owner down, trampled on him and finally left the poor man lying on the ground with two broken ribs, a broken leg and a hole in his thigh. Neighbors went to his assistance and finally succeeded in bringing him back to consciousness. He opened his eyes and, smiling proudly, feebly whispered, “Didn’t I always tell you Custer wa a highly spirited buil ?”’—Boston Herald. Love Ar First SiaaT.—Friend—So yours was a case of love at first sight ? Mrs. Getthere—Yes, indeed, fell des- perately in love with my dear husband the moment I set eyes upon him. I re- member it as distinctly as if it were yes- terday. I was walking with papa on the beach at Long Branch, when sud- denly papa stopped, and pointing him out, said, “There, my dear, is a man worth ten millions.” Forcor His Yourn.—He (five years after) —All this gush about love is ex- tremely stupid; where did the book come from, anyhow ? 1 must say the person who selected it showed a very insipid taste. She (quietly) —It's the book you gave me during our honeymoon, John; we read it eleven times the first week we had it.

Every now and then I see an old man walking down Pennsylvania avenue with his head bent in thought, paying little attention to the people he passes, but stopping now and then to look into a store window, or to look at the por- traits displayed in {ront of the photo- graph galleries which abound on that street. At first glance there is nothing particularly striking fin his appearance. :He is slender and not above medium height, and dresses in clothes of a sort of brownish gray color. A sandy gray beard hangs in a point over his shirt front, and he always wears a derby hat. But if he turns his face full toward you your attention is at once attracted by a mass of blue spots thickly pepper- ing his cheeks, eyelids and forehead, which indicate that he has literally smelt powder—smelt it in close quarters. Big grains of the deadly explosive have been driven deep into his flesh. It was a bursting shell from the ram Merrimac that so marked him for life, and the mouth of the gun was not far from his face, for they fought in close quarters. Probably not one person out of a thous- and who pass him on the avenue knows who he is; he is almost lost to sight and perhaps little thought of, but he is among the very last of the great com- manders of the war who still linger. He is Admiral Worden, who com- manded the Monitor, defeating the Mer- rimac¢, which threatened the destruction of the United States fleet at Hampton roads. The shot that scarred him was fired fairly against the peephole in the turret of the Monitor at which he had his eye watching the course of the ves- sel. He lives very quietly here in rath- er a fine house on K street. It is diffi- cult to get him to say anything about himself or about the battle in which he won distinction. He eschews all arti- cles of dress which would indicate his profession.— Washington Letter. ———————— The Markets for Farm Products. During the calendar year 1890 our ex- ports of the five classes of articles, bread- stuff, provisions, oil, cotton, and tobacco were 76.49 per cent, of the total exports for the year. Of the total exports of these five classes of articles 88.52 per cent. went to Eu- rope, 2 per cent,to British North America, 2:56 per cent. to the West Indies, 2.95 per cent. to Asia, andonly 2,13 per cent. to the whole of South America. These figures tell an impressive story to the farmers of the country. So far as our farmers are concerned, the South American markets will be, for an indefi- nite period, a mere bagatelle compared to the great markets of Europe. Yet the McKinleyites deliberately multiply the obstacles in the way of commerce with Europe—-a policy that not only re- stricts the markets for our farm products, but al o increases the tax burdens of the farmers. The democratic party is at war with that policy, and the year will not cease untit MceKinleyism shall have beea uverthrown.— Buffalo Courier. ess z Bad Temper Largely Involuntary. Many panple consider that “bad tem- per’ is enurely voluntary on the part of the person who displays it. As a mat- ter of fuct, itis often to a very great ex- tent involuntary, and no one is more angry at it than the bad tempered per- son himself. Of course every one, whether he is born with a bad temper or has ac- quired one from habit, or has been visit- ed with one as the result of disease or in- jury,should at least try to control it. But his friends should also bear in mind that temper may be, and often is, an afflic- tion to be sympathized with, not an of- fense to be punished. —_—_—, “We point with pride” to the ‘good name at home,” won by Hood's Sarsaparilla. In Lowell, Mass, where it is prepared, there is more of Hood’s Sarsaparilla sold than of all other medi- cines, and it has given the best of satis- faction sinee its introduction ten years ago. This could not be if the medicine did not possess merit. If you suffer from impure blood, try Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla and realize its peculiar curative power.
