But tho better way is to pro cure one-year-old plants from tho seeds men and set these out in beds. The soil should be made rich and deeply worked. The plauts nre set out in rows three or four feet apart and a foot apart iu the rows. The crop is not cut until the sec ond year after planting, when a few stalks may be cut, but not mauy until tho third year, as earlier cutting checks the growth of the roots. Conover's Colossal nnd Palmetto nre tho two best varieties. The roots can be purchased for $1 per 1W. Peter Henderson s "Gardening and Profit" gives full information of the cul ture of this nnd nil other garden crops.

Keep them separa e, nllow"ng to each bird ns much as you can spare, spread the grouud with sharp sandy gravel, nnd take enre that they are not disturbed. In addition to the regular diet of good corn, make a cake of ground oats or beans, brown sugar, milk nnd mutton suet. Let the enke lie till it is stale, then crumble it, aud give each bird a gill mensureful morning nnd evening, xso entire grain should bo given to the fowls during tho time they are fattening indeed the se cret of success lies iu supplying them with nutritious food without stiLt, and in such a form that their digestive mill shall find no difficulty in grinding it. Journal of Agriculture. VPKS OF LEAVES. According to the health and vigor of the foliage of any plant, writes Josiah Hoopes, will be its usefulness; the direct bearing on fruit and flowers is iucalcul able. If a plant bo defoliated the sue ceeding crop of fruit will be greatly in jured, if not ruined, nnd the growth damaged for some time to come. Hence the hav.'S mav well be termed the vital organs of vegetnble lifo. By their ap pearance we may judge of the constitu tiou of trees and plants. If destructive insects or diseases are present the foliage at once shows a departure from health, and is a signal to tho owner that the plant needs immediate attention. Other symptoms uppear later, but sickly, yet low-tiutcd foliage is the foreruuner of disaster. Application of fertilizers to the soil shows at once in the leaves, by increase of size and n deeper green color. Luxuriant foliage always denotes aug mented growth and consequent useful- ness. The practice of partial defoliation of trees and vines "to admit air aud light to the fruit," is a grave error While light at all times is beneficial, full sunlight is not a necessity, and an abundance of leaves collecting vapor and cases Irom tne air perform au immense amount of good, far more than the mere rays of the sun shining directly on the skin of the fruit. Much summer prun ing is consequently to be discouraged, excepting in rare instances where an uu- heultby growth is to be removed. Vane gated-liaved plants are not unhealthy, as may be seen by their strpng growth of wood and apparent freedom from dis ease; their peculiar color is the result of some abnormal condition. New York 1'rWune. FALL PASTURISQ W MEADOWS. It is a common practice in many parts of the country to turn the cattle, horses and sheep upon tho hay fields alter the crop of hay has been gathered, and the second crop, or "roweu," has appeared in luxuriant growth. There is a strong temptation to such a course, because at this season of the year the pastures have beguu to dry up, and the stock has begun to look lets thrifty, while the yield of milk from the cows has very materially diminished. But like all temptations to do unwise things for the sake of tempo rary udvuntages, this one should be re sisted. It is to bo presumed that the greut majority who practice fall feeding of meadow lands do not comprehend the extent of the injury thntcon.es from such a course. They see ouly a little increase ot growth, a few more quarts of milk per day, but fail to reason back from ctTeet to cause when succeeding seasons show a rapidly decreasing yield of hay, or other crops, unon these lields, some considerable part of which is surely due to tins full pasturing. . , Most plants require for vigorous growth a soil, not hard iiucked, but fairly light and well drained, with roots left uudis turbed when once they begin to stretch out through the soil in search of food Moreover, it is the habit of grass plants to form u thick mat or carpet over the grounl, which serves as protection for tho roots ugainst the washing of heavy ruins, the altcruutu thawing and freezing of early spring, and the scorching heat of lato bummer. When meadows are cropped by cattle, many plants aro torn outright from tho soil, the roots of others broken or loosened and exposed to frost rain und heat. In addition to this, the feut of the stock arc constantly packing thu soil solidly arouud the plants, which Uiuders Iron drainage ; or making foot holes that bucomo bmins for water and ito, .uui i no actual injury to tue gias T W plant is not all by feedlng'oS the second growth nature's plans for protecting the grass during tho cold of winter are thwarted, and very much of "winter killing" is the result. Where snows lie deep and continuous, this difficulty is not so appnrcnt, but even cold climates are subject to "open" winters, which are sufficiently trying to grass lands, even when well protected. American Agricultural. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. When two limbs cross cut the weaker. Give the fowls green feed every day. Every boy likes fruit. Tench him to cultivate it. A spare hour Is never lost in cutting unripe weeds. Corn and clovor are said to deepen the color of the yolk. If you have milk to sparo, try its effect as an egg producer. Chickens kept on low, wet land are pretty sure to havo gapes. Domestic animals need good shelter in tho changeable weather of spring nnd fall. In breeding stock do not expect to get better animals than those you breed from. Ground bone and wood ashes or pot ash and phosphoric acid are good for fruit. If you want to check the growth of a tree, trim it when inifull leaf or just be fore. Raise your "greens" instead of hunt ing them in tho lots. It saves work and time. Cull out tho poorest of tho young roosters from the flock and eat or sell In them. Don't stuff your pigs ot hogs with corn. - it is bettor to pisture them on clover. If sheep are kept for mutton and wool, take well selected ewes and breed to thoroughbred rams. Whcu n fowl ceases to give a good re turn for tho feed given, it is time to plan for his disposal. It is very desirable to keep tho breed ing stock in n god, thrifty condition. A failure to do this will show iu the off spring. Too close breeding should be avoided with sheep fully as much as with any other class of stock. Change tho same every two weeks nt least. Troughs should always bo provided for feeding all kinds of soft feed to poultry. Mako them tight and arrange them so that they can be cleaned readily. If kept in good condition, nearly or quite all kinds of poultry can be fat tened hi two weeks ot good icodlug. But they must have all that they can eat four or five times every day. At this season tho best time to sell poultry is when a prica can bo realised that will return a fnir profit. Holding for high prices for tho next three months is, to say the least, very uncertain. If tho sheep are turned into the corn field care should be taken to sec that they have access to plenty of water. It is hardly good economy to turn sheep iuto any place where there are cockle burrs. As a goncral rule, when prices for poultry begin to drop in the fall thoy keep down until after tho holidays, and it rarely pays to sell young poultry at that time. Provide good quarters and keep until prices aro better. Too much live stock is quite as bad for tho farmer as too much land. Do not crowd the stock, and do not keep more than can be well fed, pastured well and housed well. If you have more than this sell off the surplus speedily. Do not let the drinking vessels of the poultry stay in the same place more than one or two days at a time. More or less water is spilled by the fowls when drink ing, aud in a few days this will smell foul. By moving about this can easily bo avoided. In determining what turkeys to use for breeding, remember that the gobbler should be two years old before using, and can be kept until he is five years old, but as a general rule it is not a good plan to keep turkey hens after they aro three years old. , Tho guinea is a very useful fowl, not withstanding its peculiarities. In their wanderings over the farm they destroy numerous insect enemies and weed seed and do little damage to crops by scratching and eating. They lay a large number of eggs, which, though small, aro of good quality and nutri tious. WISE WORDS. It does not take so much to be con- touted. A bore is a Damocletian sword to the busy man. Uncertainty is the keenest favor ot existence. No mortal's bread is ever buttered on both sides. The successful rival is always a con temptible scamp.

ORRMAKY'S AFFLICTION. It is mentioned that the official returns ot suicides committed in Berlin during the first fortnight of July show a total ot 147, and that the cause of this enormous se'f-detruo tion is attributed chiefly to drink. It is also stated that: "Impressed with recent official statistics concerning the growth of criminal offenses and suicides Arising from drink, the Government hfis opened an inquiry iu re gard thereto, and is drawing evidence from hospital and other medical sources concern ing the increasing use of potato spirits and cither impure alcohols, and how far the use of these spirits mav be regarded as a leading factor in crime." All this goes to show quits conclusively that, despite the protestations of the beer pi-opagnu-listA, and those Ameri can travelers who ''see no drunk em less," that Germany, the chief of beer countries, is nillicted witu drunkenness, and is seeking relief from the crime which is the inevitable outcome of its drinking usages. In Ger many, as iu America, abstiueuce alon3 will be found a sovereign remedy. National Advocate. BOMB HOPEFUL SIONS. One of the things which excite the wonder of the men and women enlisted in the ranks of the Catholic Total Abstinence movement is the indifference with which the temper ance question is regarded. Families are broken up, homes are destroyed, bright in tellects are degrade 1, scandal runs riot with our good name, and souls are lost to the church, and yet there are thousands of worthy people who scnrcaly give a thought to the causa of this havoc who actually re gard the temperance man as a fanatic. It makes us marvel at the constitution of hu man nature, lint there are hopeful signs of a general awakening. The statesman is be ginning to see that sober men make good citizens; the politician is beginning to have some respect for a question that can enlist the services of an army of voters; the teach er is beginning to notice that education is thrown away upon the youth who indulges in drink; the legislator is oegmning to turn bis attention to the passago of laws restrict ing the liquor tratUc; and the church man is beginning to note that bis work is half done when his congregation is temperate. These are hopeful signs, indeed, and presage good for the future ot the country. Aud shall we Catholic laymen not take our stand with our fellow-citizens Khali we remain passive in the good work? Shall we sit idle, when oth ers are trying to stem the tide of intemper ance which threatens to engulf our race? We would be reoreant to our duty if we i failed to lift our voices in favor of taking vigorous measures in aid of the temperance cause. Sacred Heart Jieview. DRUNKENNESS IX 80CIETT.

California's Olive Industry. "The olive iuduMry is just now one of intense interest to nil farmers cf South ern California," said James C. Bangs, of Ban Bernardino, Cnl., nt the Windsor lloiul. "The small fruit business, espe cially grape growing, is being overdone in the opinion of many of our brainiest men. In looking around for something to pay equally well, which at tho same time would not be so subject to a crowded market and need peculiar methods of transportation, we found tho olivo. You know on the coast of the Mediterranean the olive tree requires fourteen, years of growth to bear fruit. By a method ac dentally discovered wo in California can crow trees so that they will bear in six years. How? Why, we cut off a twig about as thick as your little finger somo twenty or twenty-five inches long nnd simply stick it in tho ground. Tho wny it sprouts is simply wonderful and wo promptly cut oil all but one, the best shoot. The fruit is crushed bo that the meat is taken oil, but tho stouo is not crushed. This meat is put in a press and the juice from it is composed of water and oil. The oil is taken up by absor bent cottou and then squeezed and re fined, put into bottles and on tho mar ket.
