Clover should not be the principal re hance for the hog pasturage, but if there Is not luflicicnt of this a field should be sown with oats, rye, or barley to supple ment it. Sorghum and pumpkins should also be grown to help out. the feeding later in the season, so that the hogs may bo made ready for market without so much as we have been in tho habit of using in tho past. The best profit in hog feediucr results when the desired weiirh't can be made with the least corn. This method of feeding is practicable now, because the market does not call for such heavy weight as formerly. '-Light bacon" is now the irrado that brings tho top prices. Chicago Times. tub virtues of stones. I have heard a farmer brag that he hardly had a stone on his place as large as his hand, nnd to most farmers the Idea of a stony farm is abhorrent. This is a mistake, and stones, liko almost everything else, aro not without their virtues. They help to make the soil rich by constantly wearing away and giving to it new material. They make it mel low and porous, and when coolness is Deeded they keep it cool. In warm weather they cool very quickly at night and condenso the dew, thus gathering moisture from the driest air, so the land docs not bake in a dry season or run to gether in a wet. Then tho stones gather the water around them, making tho soil porous. Ju winter they give warmth to the ground, for they absorb and retain the heat from the sun. As long as they do not interfere with tho cultivation of the land let them remain. American Farmer. ennixKAog or milk. During tho hot, dry months when flies are abundant, cows are almost sure to shrink in the milk flow. Therearcsome points about this matter that are well to consider. A great many dairy farmers follow the practice of turning the cows into small pasture at night for the sake of the convenience of finding them the next morning. During the day the cows are so bothered by flies that they will uot eat what they should even if it is easily Tiramrpri If tlim. -,t . : i . the result will be that they gat too little J frkf in n . 1 1 . I . bnuuuk tiaw Bl ltll!at food in the twenty-four hours, and must in consequence shrink in their milk. The who dairyman will see to it that the cow has plenty to eat. If it requires a little extra study and cffoit on his part to get it for her ho will doit, for he knows this important fact, that if the cow shrinks in ummer he can cever get her back to as large a flow in the fall as he otherwise would. Good management of tho cows is one of the foundations of success in milk production. Flies in the day time and confiumenl at night will beat the best cow in the world. Hoard's Duiry men. CARE OF FENCE CORNERS. Next to the garden, which ought to be the best but is too often tho worst look ing p lace on the farm, the fence corners art likely, at this time, to need the most attention. It goes without saying that it is difficult to keep these places clean. It is still more difficult to get them clean after they have been allowed to become foul. And jet the farmer who has a high ideal of what a farm should be will not be contented to have his fence cornei-s become a tangled hedge of bushes or a nest of weeds. Bushes are worse than weeds, for the latter cm be cut more readily and are not nearly as difficult to destroy. Not that it is easy to eradicate weeds when they have taken possession of fence corners and have been allowed to ripen their seeds and maturo their stalk3 year after year with nothing to interfere with their growth and development. But it is play to dis pose of such plants when compared with the upiooting of wild cherry bushes, hardbacks, blackberry bushes aud similar growths which Bud a congenial home in neglected fence corners. Vet even the latter nuisances can be extir pated. It will take a good deal of work to do it, but if the work is wisely direct ed, aud is continued long enough, it will bring its reward. Simply cutting oil the tops, two or three inches from the ground, once a year will not be elective. Removing tho fence, plowing the ground, aud plautiug it to some crop which requires clean cultivation, is the most efficient course. If this is fol lowed for two or three seasons in succes sion the land can then be seeded aud cau be essily kept clean. Whero this courte is impracticable, cutting the roots of the shrubs and removing as large portions o( them with the stems as possible, will give a decided setback to the intruders. The next spring cut off the lops of any and all the plants which appear, and re peat the process in the fall. It is slow work, aud hard work, but if persevered in will, in time, give clean fence corners. And the lann upon which this work is needed will look enough better, nnd lj enough better to pay liber.llv lor its performance. American Duiryinau. 1 HOO CHol.EKA SYMPTOM..

Supplying all of the essentials of a crop, such as a good soil, thorough preparations and good seed are of more importance than the signs of the moon. One reason why some men do not suc ceed in fruit growing is that they grow nothing else. They buy fertilizer, meat, grain and everything they use. This takes all the profit. Flower pots can be rid of earthworms by pouring on the soil a warm decoction of wormwood and powdored horse chest ni ts. The worms will come to the sur face and can then be removed. Nothing delights a pig or benefits him more than a feed of roots. It is worth whilo to givo tuem a ration of potatoes, beets, turnips, or artichokes at least onco a week, or as often as possible.

Nearly all cook books say: "Pour boiling water over ripe tomatoes, then ikin them," and at least ninety in every hundred persons attempt to peel them in this manner, and consequently do it with much difficulty and very imper fectly. This is tho proper way to peel toma toes: Cover them with boiling water half a minute, then lay them in cold water till they aro perfectly cold, when the skin can be slipped off without difficulty, leaving tho tomatoes un broken.

Strain jolly into jelly jars which have been thoroughly washed in soap and water and have been standing in boiling water for a half hour. When the jelly is cool pour over it a small quantity ol melted parafline; let it harden; then pout in more, for as the first hardens it may crack or shrink from the sides and leave spaces where ferments may enter. In other words, the jars need to bo made nir-tight not that the air does mischief, but because it contains the organism! which on entering the jelly cause by their growth the changes known u; "souring." The object is to exclude all micro-organisms. This may be done in other ways than by use of paralHne. Cut apiece of white paper just large enough to cover the jelly; soak it in alcohol for five minutes, then fit it into the tumbler and packovci it a wad of sterilized cotton batting, lot ting it fill the mouth of the jar or tum bler like a stopper. This is an effectual means of preserving all kinds of fruit, ns micro-organisms cannot go through the batting. Care must be taken, how ever, to have it properly sterilized. This may easily be accomplished by making the wads of the required Shape and size and puttiug the n in a tin plate la a hoi oven for half an hour. When putting the cotton into jars be dareful not to touch the under side ol the wad or allow it to touch anything until it is placed in tho jar; each may be wound with a piece of cloth to make il look neat, or a pi see of paper may br tied over it.

The Lapps call their country Sabmeer Pame, and themselves Samelots, and the term lots has generally been supposed to bo a contemptuous nickname given to them by foreigners, derived from the Finnish "lappu," And meaning simply "land's-cnd-tolk." A more plausable suggestion, however, Is that of Professor Friis, of Chriatianla, who refer the term to an old Finnish root "lappsa," signifying to roam or wander about, iu allusion to their nomad habits. In the mouth of southern or more civilized Lapps it appears td have become synonymous with rude or bar barous, and is so applied by therd to the less cultured northern Communities. Anthropologists seem to have some dilliculty in assigning to the Lapps their exact place In the human family, but it may be safely affirmed that they are a combination of Caucasian and Mongolian types.
