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

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

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

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.

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

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.

know on the coast of the Mediterranean
the olive tree requires fourteen, years of

It costs something to live nnd a good
deul to die; in fact, everything cos's,

annually ; getting married, $300,000,000,

might be added that getting druuk costs
the people of the Uuitcd States more

A Black Opal.
There it an opal which comes from
Australia which is almost black, from
which tongues of fire shoot out from un
expected point and give the stone al
most the effect of ling In combustion.
It is not as expensive aa the precious
opal, which comes chiefly from Hungary.
The Australian stone Is found in veins of
porphyry placed In layers with its ma
trix. It is often cut "on cameo" when thus
found. A specimen of such a cameo ex
hibited by a well-kuown jeweler repre
sents the head of a warrior, whose hel
met is of the most brilliant opalescent
colors, while tho face Is soil tvory-whito,
and the whole is thrown against a back
ground of dull black. Button Iran-
