T11K sked potato rrr.zLE.
Experience of myself and others has
been that whole tutors, w ith similar cul
tivation and care, produce more large
potatoes than cut sections. The finest
lot of potatoes I ever saw was grown on
a deep, ric 1 meadow soil, with tho old
grass sod recently plowed down, and
manured In the rows. AVhole tubers were
used for seed, and these were selected
from the cntiro crop of the previous
year. As this system had been followed
for several successive seasons, always se
lecting the largest nud most perfectly
formed specimens, the crops gradually
became more regular in form. It maybe
all right from a scientific standpoint; a
tuber is nothing more than an
underground stem, so that a cut
ting will answer as well as the
whole tuber, but sometimes practice
refutes our most cherished theories, and
so it has w ith my notions of growing the

ntt'MNO FRUIT TREES.
As peach trees produce their fruit on
the young shoots of the preceding year's
growth, they require a different system of
pruning from that employed in "pruning
the apple and pear. AVe defer pruning
the peach until after they have bloomed
or failed to bloom and set fruit in spring,
and then prune according to circum
stances or conditiou of the trees. If the
fruit buds have been killed by cold or
otherwise so much injured that there will
bo no fruit, then we proceed to prune tho
trees severely, thnt is, cut back or shorten
all the principal branches and small twigs
in order to secure a vigorous growth of
new shoots upon which fruit buds for the
ensuing year will be produced. If the
trees bloom freely and there is a promise
of a good crop of fruit, then we prune
only sufficient to admit light and air into
the head of the tree and insure the per
fection or ripening of the fruit. Peach
trees raiely produce a full crop oftoner
than every alternate season, nnd by tak
ing advantage of this wo do most "of the
pruning late in spring of the year the
..trees are barren or nearly so. Pear and
apple trees produce their lruit on small
spurs or short twigs on the old wood, and
these should always be carefully preserved
in pruning the trees. When pruning is
required it may be done any time in
winter, or before the buds begin to swell
in spring. If not primed bofore the sap
begins to flow, better defer it until tho
trees are in full leaf in June or July

THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.
The importance of a good vegetable
garden to the farmer's family can "hardlv
be overestimated. And vet the ordiuarv i
farmer seems inclined to ignore its bene-
fits ami suffers it to become a burden to i
him instead of a pleasure, as it would be
considered, if properly aU.reciated. He
sees the proht in wheat and corn, because
he sells the product of these cereals, and j
the money he gels for them is something
tangible. Ht the products of the gar-
ueu are uoi sola, tneretore he sees no
money coming iu from it, and hegelsiuto
the habit of thinking that time nud labor
given to it arc about the same as thrown
away or wasted. And, too, n garden to
o-mnn who spends most of his time in
great fields of corn and wheat aud hay
during the spring and summer, seems a
very little, circumscribed nfTair sonic
thing hardly worth "bothering" with
too insignificant to be given much atten--tion,
in fact. Consequently, the vege
table garden is pretty sure to be neglected
by the head of the family, unless the
"head" happens to bc a woman. If most
farmers' wives had the requisite amount
of time nnd strength to attend to the
garden as it ought to be attended to, I
know very well that we would see fewer
patches of weeds dignified by the name
of garden, from which a few inferior
vegetables are taken during the season.
A housekeeper appreciates the advantages
of a well-stocked garden to draw from as
gecasiou r-vjuircs. The "men folks" ap
preciate the vegetables which the woman
of the family sets before them at meal
time, but tho despised garden fails to get
the credit it deserves for all that. Many
men seem to think that vegetables are, or
ought to be, spontaneous products.
There ought to be plenty of them with
out u man's being obliged to do anything
to secure them. A garden ought to
plant aud take care of itself. But it so
hapiens that gardens "are not mado in

ing to give proper attention to a garden
cannot expect to have odo that is worthy
the name. "Ho who soweth not shall
not reap," is just as true to-day as when
it was first said.
If the farmer was obliged to buy the
vegetables used in his family through the
year, he would begin to understand how

poor one is better than none at all, a good
one is so much better, that one ought
never to be satisfied with auythintr else.

mors fob green MAsrnrao .
One of tho best crops to.be grown and
plowed under nn a green manure is buck
wheat. It mnkes a quick growth and
spreads out in a short time so as to com
pletely shade, tho ground, nnd during
tho summer at least this aids tho process
of nitrification considerably.
Buckwheat, like clover, not only adds
considerably to the fertility, but also
makes a soil friable. Ono advantage
with buckwheat' is that it makes a very
rapid growth, and two crops can bo
grown nnd plowed under in one season
by sowing tho first reasonably early in
the spring, and when a good growth has
been secured, plowing under and seed
ing again.
Hyo is another good crop to use for
this purpose. It can be sown in the fall,
nnd will make a good growth early in tho
spring, so that it can be plowed under
nnd late corn be planted. When the iid
has been cropped down, so that fine crops
cannot steadily bo grown, a very good
plan is to plow up and seed to rye early
in the. fall. It can be pastured during
tho winter to more or less c.xtcnt, de
pending upon tho growth. Let it grow
until the middle of spring, or even until
the first of May, then turn under and
sow buckwheat. Let this make a good
growth, plowing uuder when in full
bloom, and seeding agaiu. Hy the latter
part of summer, or early fall, this will do
to plow under again, giving three
crops in a year to add to the fer
tility of the soil. AVheat enn bo sown in
the fall and grass or clover with it, or in
the spring, as may be preferred.
Sowed corn or oats nro both good
crops to use as a grecu manure, and can
be sown after the ciops arc all planted in
the spring, nnd will make a sufficient
growth by fall, or the latter part of sum
mer, to turn under. Clover is of course
tho very best crop that can bo used for
this purpose.
With all crops grown for tho purpose
of green-manuring, if tho best results are
secured, it will pay to mannge to plow
under when they have mado their best
growth, and before the plants havo ma
tured. With clover and buckwheat s
pecially, the best time to plow under is
when the largest number of plants is in
full blossom; at this time they contain a
larger per ceut. of nitrogen than at any
other. If allowed to get too ripe there is
a loss of this valuable clement, and it is
quite an item to turn under so as to se
cure nil the benefit possible.
Clover is a good crop to use for green
manuring, but it is not always possible
to secure a good stand of this; and in
planing the work for the year, in many
Ciises it will be found a good plan to
seed at least one field to seme green crop
to when it ha.s secured a good growth
plow under. Under mauy conditions
it is one of the chcapt and best plans of
giving a good application ol fertilizer.

way to feed is to run it through a cutter

It should bc slightly moistened so as to
make the grouud feed adhere to it.
Cows iu stable often suffer from lack
of n regular supply of salt. It is better
to leave a lump of rock salt under cover
where cows can reach a supply whenever
they need it. They will not take too
much. With snow on the ground do not
placo salt where it will come in contact
with it. The sudden melting of snow
4y use of salt causes intense cold.
Tho low prices of grain make it now
nearly everywhere as cheap food as hay,
and usually cheaper than straw. The
coarser seeds are needed to supply requi
site bulk and distension of the stomach,
but for nutriment they cannot compete
with grain. Cotton-seed meal and lin
seed meal are now unusually cheap, and
should be used as much as possible to
make rich manure.
A mulch over the ground in summer,
by keeping tho soil moist, is admirably
adapted to induce roots to grow near the
surface. Where the soil freezes deeply
iu winter trees are ofteu injured by this.
The proper time to mulch for protection
is lato iu fall or in winter. It is also the

Funeral or a Burmese Queen.
The Rangoon (India) Oatelte reports
the burial recently of the Mecbya Queen,
one of the wives of King Mindone Min,
whose body had been lying somo time in
state at the residence of her daughter,
near Rangoon. About 9 o'clock the pro
cession, which was nearly a mile long,
started. White umbrellas, the special
symbol of Burmese royalty, were numer
ous, and the priests mustered in strong
force. The shrines and other ornamental
structures were ablaze with gold leaf, the
bands of music numerous, and the cart
loads of presents for the priests would
have sufficed to stock a bazaar with al
most every conceivable article of food
and wearing apparel, beside crockery,
kerosene oil, fans and furniture. The
Princess, as chief mourner, walked in
front of the coffin, preceded by her reti
nue of fifty white robed women walking
in pairs; before them girls strewed the
path with roses. The Princess, like her
attendants, was dressed in pure white,
and wore no jewels whatever. She and
her maids of honor bore in their hands
the white rope attached to the coffin.
The latter was slung from a pole and
carried by bearers. Over it was thrown
a splendidly decorated, pall, piled high
with bright flowers. The scene of tho
cremation was on the slope of the Sheay
Dagon Pagoda, near Buhan, where tin
inclosure had been erected round the
funeral pile, upon which the gilt coffin
was laid to the sound of weird music.
By desire of the Princess the coffin was
opened to enable her to take a last look
at her mother. The pile was then set fire,
and after the body had been entirely
consumed the ashes were taken away to
be cast on the broad bosom of the Irru
waddy. A severe edict against the practice
of dueling has been issued iu Japan.

K DRTJO TJSEI) FOR NEARLY ALL
HUMAN AILMENTS.
It la Obtliicil From tho Clnrhonn
Kark W here t he Trees are O row it
How It la Marketed.
Of tho thousands who say quinimo Is
"good for everything," few men ara
aware thnt its introduction into tho phar
macopoeia is of coniMrativcly recent
date. Quinino is ono of the most com
mon of homeopathic drugs nnd is used
for nil ailments. It is an alkaloid ob
tained from the cinchona bark, whose
wonderful properties ns n tonic became
know nbout 1CI17. At thnt time tho
Countess of Cinchon, Vice-Queen of
rem, was very ill with a lingering fever,
and the best medical meu of South
America were in attendance and had al
most despaired of the Countess's recov
ery. Ono day a washerwoman appeared
at tho palace and gave the Countess's
maid a bark which sho directed to be
given to her mistress. The Countess Ral
lied nnd in a short timo recovered. The
strango bark was thcu called cinchona
bark, whose praises tho Vicc-Quccu was
always singing.
Qtffninc came into general use in Europe
about the closo of the seventeenth cen
tury, and for about 101) years the Ku
ropeaus wero dependent upon a few
South American States for their supply,
which wns very meager, as Peru, Bolivia
and Ecuador, which were the chief pro
ducers, were continually wrangling with
each other. Their squabbles prevented
the natives gathering cinchona bark, nnd
often in a few weeks the price of quinine
would fluctuato several dollars a pound.
Those petty States monopolized tho trade
in the severest manner, and the poor
bark -gatherers were compelled to sell
their stuff for whatever the Government
choose to give, and at present tho South
Ameycan States levy a duty on all the
bark exported.
The Europeans soon became tired of
this way of securing their supply and the
Dutch were the first, after years of ex
perimenting, to succeed in breaking tho
South American monopoly. They found
that the treo would grow in tho East In
dies. The English Government, jealous
of their rival's success, sent out numer
ous expeditions to investigate the whole
subject and see whether or not the trees
could bc transplanted, and this wns suc
cessfully done after many trials in north
ern India.
Although tho trees flourished whcr
they had been transplanted the Dutch en
countered other obstacles. It was found
that the bark of the same pecicsof trees
was of very irregular quality, and al
though it all looked alike it often re
quired a chemical analysis to ascertain
its value. Some barks yield as high as
thirteen per cent, alkaloids upon which
the value of cinchona depends.
The season for gathering the bark be
gins in August and lasts till October or
November, according to the weather.
After it is stripped from tho treo it has
to bo thoroughly dried nud then packed
in ceroons of moistened cowhide or in
bales of heavy sacking. Most of these
are branded with trademarks. Some of
these have attained considerable reputa
tion, and any bark iu the bales so named
can bc relied upon. It is claimed that
there is a great deal of trickery used in
the trade, ns inferior or worthless barks
are sometimes skillfully mixed with good
barks, and tho difference is so slight that
all the imports are analyzed before they
are accepted.
During the prevalence of la grippe in
some cities the supply of quinine became
practically exhausted .
Quinine is generally taken in two-grain
capsules or in a powder wlih water or
whisky. The first way is preferable, as
it does away with any disagreeable taste.
The annual consumption of quinine in
the United States is about 45,000,000
graius, and the trade here nnd abroad is
almost entirely in the hands, of a mo
nopoly, whose great factory is located in
Mannheim. Gerui iuv. Chiwo Tim.

guarantee of good faith, popular with all
Upper Congo tribes.
In the presence of hundreds of tho sav
ages owning the swny of Mata Bwikl, wo
were seated upon the low wooden stools
placed opposito each other. Silenco be
ing commanded by the beating of the
big redwood drums, which gave lorth a
hollow sound that can be heard for
miles, a charm-doctor appeared, arrayed
iu all his mystic apparel. An incision
wns made in both our right arms, in tho
outer muscular swelling just bolow the
elbow, and as the blood flowed in a tiny
stream, the charm-doctor sprinkled pow
dered chalk and potash on tho wounds,
delivering tho while, in rapid tones, an
appeal to us to maintain unbroken the
sanctity rU tho contract; aud -then our
arms being rubbed together, so that tho
flowing blood intermingled, we wero de
clared to bo brothers of one blood, whoso
interests henceforth should be united as
our blood now was. The witnesses of
this Btrnngo ceremony expressed their
agreement with the utterances of tho
charm-doctor, and gave way to boister
ous expressions of approval of what had
been done already, ere setting to work to
drink tho huge enrthcnwnro jars of fer
mented juice of tho sugnr-couo, known
as "musangn," which had previously
been prepared to celebrato the event.
