IN planning fur next season'* woik,
bi-ur in mind that the profits come
bom good crops on small areas, lath
er than from large acreage. A thou
sand bushels of. corn grown on ten
acres will pay better than fifteen linn

i J IST at the time of this writing
the weather would IK- found a lilt I*
| severe for pruning trees—the tner
| cury having fallen twenty-four de
gress in twelve hours—but the possi
i '"lilies are that by the time lids
i icaches our readers a "m<M|erat<
*|sll" may have set in, and this will
prove an opportune time for thi
work. IVrhaps the best time is just
before the rising sap la-gins to swell
the buds, but the danger is that if
left until then it may la.- neglected
altogether. Any mild weather be
twi-eri this and then may be taken
advantage of with safety.
M itllln a lew weeks the active
wurk of the fairn will again la-gin.
and those farmers who have not suf
ficiciit help within their own families
arc now making arrangements for
their hiicd hi Ip. We nre sure we are
giving good counsel when we advise
the hiring of at least one good man
for the entire year, instead of for the
eight months which include what is
usually termed "the working season."
And if possible let him la; a man of
family and provide liirn with a house,
riie advantages of this course ar<-
many, nnd any well managed farm
can provide full employment for a

last men prefer living in this way.

and push of the working season comes

EfTectß of Limo
Secretary Edge, ol the State Hoard
of Agriculture, lately published some
views upon the use of lime to which
several of Ins correspondents have
taken exception. In the current num
la-r of the Farmer t Friend be has a
word to say in bis own defense,
which wc print and endorse ;
The objectionable phrase is as fol
lows : "The continued application of
lime will, sooner or later exhaust
these elements and ira|K)verish the
soil, thus showing an action very
similar to that of stimulants upon
the Animal kingdom." Now. had my
article referred to lime I should have
further explained this phrase, hut as
it referred to commercial fertilizers,
and the reference to liine was very
accidental, I did not enlarge on the
matter- To explain more fully allow
me to quote still further from my
srtide in your issue tit the Gilt:
•'Lime is not a manure, burfnereases
the crop by enabling it to appropri
ate certain elements in tbe soil which
are otherwise inert.
To the brother who writes me that
I am wrong and that "the continuid
application of lime will enrich any
soil," 1 reply that all depends U|a>n
the use made of the increase in the i
! crop which it obtained by the first
application ; if this is sold from the
farm it represents, so much principal
removed ; if it is fed on the farm,
and thus returned to the soil, it is so
much iu crest added to the principal
to draw interest in the future. To a
soil desolate of vegetable matter
(human), lime will IK.- of little bene
fit, for there is little or no inert mat
ter for it to act upon.
Iu the brother who thinks lime is
s manure la-cause lime is found in tin
ash of plunts, I reply, correct; but
all soils contain enough for this pur
pose, and if tliey did not one or two
bushels per acre would more than
supply the needs of the crop.
I would then follow my above
quoted assertion by the statement
that the exhausting effects of lime
depend entirely upon the use made
of the gain produced by it. Con
tinue to apply and sell the resulting
crops from the firm, and the time
needed to exhaust th t soil is otih
measured by its fertility when the
liroeess cotuim need. On the olliei
uand apply lime ami find the result
•n the furrn by cheaply husbanding
•II ihc manure, and the increase ol
hat soil is only to be measured In
he care tukeu in saving and apply
I ing manure.
Purj Brod Stock
1 lb H I> f|*lel#*f, |ti Ait A*' tjltur4t
As a rule pure bred stock is not
the most profitable for farmers to
seep. Many who have tried to bleed
ia herd of pure-blood animals have
i failed. The cost to la-gin with is
■ large. The writer recently visited a
j herd of Jersey cattle, some of tin
cows in which had cost many (run-
Ireds of dollars. The product in
fl.h and milk from tlu.se animals i*
' not so much over that of the graded
cow as to warrant the prices paid,
l ire management tlj.it such do-*.
bred sUak requires is much greater
i than that of grade stock ; that i.
| crosses U twccn the pure bloo I and
; native stock. I'ure bhaxl animals
I and herds, like the one almve men
j twined, are of value as hrecibng cen
tres, trom which the great mass of
common stock can la; built up. At
a low estimate the value of the grade
product can le raised Jl.j to S2O em h
the first season, ft may Is* that a
a firmer with a large herd of grade
thus pr<sluceil can nlfor>l to keep two
••r three pure bbxei aniuisls tot
forth i improvement of the herd, fori
in many cases it will be better to ic-
I>leiiih '.lie pure blood from one ol
the centres of such sunk. It is a
national blcssi..g that ''fancy farm
ers," as they aic sometimes called,
are pleased to make such large in
vestments in pure blood stock, I'm
by tliis means the supply of ant
br e l is kepi up. It would lie a• a
tainily if from any cause these care
fully manage I herd- should all la
broken up and scattered. 11 is through
litem that the whole live stock of the
country is to lie improved by a grad
ual process of grading. In this 1111
|Mirlaiit work the less fortune-farmed
sloekmen may find a profitable field
of labor.

gathered sliout home. Ilone-dtist
bought in the market costs about two
cents a pound. Coarse fragments of
(sine dissolve very slowly, and for
that resson arc not so valuable as
fine ground I nine. Still, if buried
near gra|ic vines or fruit trees, the
nuiulierlcas mouths of the roots will,
in a few years, eat up and appropri
ate every particle of plant food ilicy
contain. In setting some spple trees,
a few years ago, we buried a hcshel
of lioncs under each tree. The thrift
of tbe trees and the tieauty and size
of the fruit we attributed in a great
degree to the bones. A few years ago,
we buried some bones near a Flemish
Beauty pear tree. The tree bore for
tbe first timt during tbe past season.
For size, color and quality of fruit
we have seen nothing equaling it in
this vicinity. This wc attribute main

there msy lie other causes. If one

which will thus be greatly increased
