Well tilled or not, as the facilities foi

lint times have changed, the country

To accomplish this the large fnrme

these must be well cultivated. First

Profitable Economic In Horticulture.
The narrow margin of profit in aK
lines of farm and orchard production
tins led to closer economy and the util
izing of what ha3 heretofore been waut
products.
In California, for years, it was the
rule to let rot on the ground all or
mircs that were sunburned, or imper
fect in any way oversized or under
filled, or unmarketable from any other
cause. As the orchards returned small
er profits, however, It was found that
these frulta were valuable for marma
lades and preserves, and they have now
become no unimportant factor in the
total income of the orange grower.
Around tho driers and canneries large
heaps of peach aud apricot stones ac
cumulated and 'became a nuisance. It
was afterwards discovered that these
would burn ns well as the best stove
coal, and they are now a source ot
profrt, sell'.njr at $13 per ton as fuel
while their ash Is rich In phosphoric
acid nnd potash and valuable as a fer
tilizer. Now a new industry in con
nection with raisin growing is about tc
be established at Fresno. Raisin seed.'
sell in Uoraiany at S1G to 518 per ton
The seeds aro said to contain from 3(
to 40 per cent, of glycerine and 16 pel
cent, of essential oil. The proposition
under consideration is the erection ol
i ralsln-seedlng plant, thus Increasing
the value of the product and utilizing
the seeds. Around nil the wineries ol
the State are vast heaps of grape Beed.'
and stems, all of which are now wast
ed, but which coutaiu a largo per cent
ige of tannic acid, and In Europe form
an important item in the product ot
the vineyard. It Is small economies
that enable us to withstand the hard
times, and even California Is learning
this lesson. The feeding of waste ap
ples and of pomace from elder mllla
and the use of apples for Jelly, evapo
rating, etc., are other Instances ol
profitable economies in horticulture.
IVnr ultnro In Michigan.
After many yenrs' experience In Ber
rien County, I would prefer for the
pear orchard well-drained, Btrong, san
dy loam to the stiff clnf that Is com
monly thought best. For dwarfs, espe
cially, R should be dep and mellow.
The strong roots of the standards are
better able to work their way down in
to stiff clay. If clay soil is used, it
should bo plowed deeply and subsolled
less care is required in a sandy soil.
Land in which wuter stands in tho sub
soil should be avoided. For standards
Plant twenty to twenty-two feet each
ay. Strong growers like the Kleffei
require greater care In pruning than
tho mailer sorts. Mopt of the pruning
should be done with the knife while
the trees are small. Spraying for the
leaf blight and the scab is found very
Profitable, and permits the growing ol
sorts that would otherwise be worth
less. Bartlett is long-lived and very
Productive. Onondaga is also a very
Profitable variety. In selecting varie
ties it is best to choose a number ol
k'ads. and to minelo them in the or
chard so as to secure cross-fertilization
ot the llowers. George F. Corning,
Eiiortlng; Aplei to Foreign Mitrknla.
In exporting apples to foreign mar
kets, shipments of small lots do not
pay, and nothing less than from twen-ty-five
to fifty barrels should conse-
fluently be sent. Many of the expenses
would be as great on a five-barrel lot
s on twenty-five barrels. Growers not
needing this advice are likely to find
Jbeir small lota going to the huslMtei

JONES & WALTER,
Russian Feasant Women.
The peasant women are particularly
interesting. They are a race of small
bright looking women, presenting a
striking contrast to the men, who are
on the whole a tall, sombre looking
set. There is, of course, the peasant
dress, which is worn uniformly. It
consists of, first, the sorotchka, or em
broidered shirt s the sleeves alone are
embroidered with fancy pattTns in
red and blue, and a woman counts it
a disgrace to wear other work than
her own. Then the skirt or petticoat
(spodynitza) is of red or blue cloth :
and over all is a sleeveless jacket,
often of black. When outside, they
wear a coat over the whole. The
manner of adorning the hair is pecul
iar, and, unlike the fashion in this
country, conveys a special signifi
cance. The unmarried women do up their
hair in two plaits, which are bound
round the head, and over this a shawl
is simply thrown ; while the married
women do their hair in one plait,
which falls down the back beneath the '
sorotchka, and on their heads they
wear a shawl of black and mauve, '
which is manipulated into a very ef- j
fective head dress. There is surely a
correspondence here to the coif and
snood of older Scotland. In Russia
the married peasant women do not
remove the shall from the head,
whether out of doors or inside. Jack
boots complete the outfit of these
hardy women. They are evidently
very fond of jewelry, and spend (for
them) large sums of money upon it.
I saw, for example, a peasant girl who
was worth three hundred and fifty
rubles, and she carried fifty of them
round her neck in the form of coral and
amber necklaces and silver lockets.
Achirg Joints
Announce the presence of rheumatism
which causes untold suffering. Rheu
matism is due to lactic acid in the
blood. It cannot be cured by lini
ments or other outward applications.
Hood's Sarsaparilly purifies the blood,
removes the cause of rheumatism and
permanently cures this disease. This
is the testimony of thousands of peo
pie who once suffered the pains of
rheumatism but who have actually
been cured by taking Hood's Sarsa
p.irilla. Its great power to act upon
the blood and remove every impurity
is the secret of the wonderful cures by
Hood's Sarsaparilla.
The Bureau's Authority.
When General Scott was asked his
authority for spelling wagon with tAO
g's, he said that the spelling was on the
authority of Winfield Scott, comman
der of the armies of the United States
ot America. When the officials of
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
are criticised for spelling tranquility
with one 1, on the face of the recentiy
issued one dollar silver certificates,
they reply that in quoting irom the
Constitution they followed the spell
ing of the original document ; and in
view of this authority it is not worth
while to hoard for future premiums
one-dollar silver certificates of the
issue of 1896. Sun 1'rancisco Chro

Notes from tho Pennsylvania Ex
periment Station.
The State Experiment Station'has
recently issued the first number of a
series of Bulletins of Information. It
is the intention, in this scries of bulle
tins, to present to the farmer in sim
ple and concise form the results of
investigation and the best available
scientific and practical information
on the various branches of farming.
The first bulletin of the series is
entitled " Computation of Rations
for Farm Animals." It consists of
two parts. The first is a brief explana
tion of the principles upon which the
computation of rations is based.
Following this, Part 2 shows by
numerous examples how these princi
ples may be applied to the daily pro
blems of the farm. Examples are
given of the improvement of rations,
of the compounding of rat'ons from
given feeding stuffs, and in particular
of the selection of feeding stuffs with
reference to economy in their pur
chase and use. It shows how an in
telligent application of the principles
of Part 1 may enable the farmer, by
exchanging one feed for another or
by wisely proportioning his feeds, to
reduce the cost of his rations and at
the same time improve their quality
and add to the fertility of his farm.
The bulletin is being distributed at
all the farmers' institutes held in the
State, and will be mailed free to any
resident of the State applying for it.
The Station has also issued a revis
ed edition, in more convenient form,
of the spraying calendar for which
there was so large a demand last year.
The annual Reports and quarterly
Bulletins of the . Station will be sent,
free of charge, on application, and
inquiries on agricultural subjects
answered so far as possible.
