WIIEX Bl'YINQ FERTILIZERS.
Fanners should bear in mind that the
"commercial valuation'' is not the only
thing to be taken into consideration in
buying a fertilizer, says tho Khode Isl
and Station. To illustrate: Suppose
that the crop Bnd soil demand largely
phosphoric acid and potash and little
nitrogen, then a fertilizer with a high
percentage of nitrogen, but low in the
other elements, would be of little value
to the farmer, however high its com
mercial value might be. The question
is not bow many pounds of fertilizer for
tho money, but how much potash, phos
phoric acid and nitrogen and their form.
This question involves in a great meas
ure the profits and losses in Now Eng

. HOW TO KILL J1RCSII AND BRIARS.
To farmers who live in timbered re
gion this question is art interesting prob
lem. There is a theory with some,
who ought to know, that there is a day,
with the moon in right quarter and the
sign of Zodiac in the right place, that a
tree or shrub should be cut to kill it
root aud branch. All this sounds well
enough to them, but jers of experience
has failed to verify such theories. A
laplmg may be cut in the winter that
will never sprout, and it may be cut in
the light of the moon in August, when
the sign is in the heart, and sprouts will
appear abundantly. We cut brush
every day in the year, and some will die
Bo matter when they were cut, and some
Will not die. If sprouting is done twice
a year, say June and August, for two or
three years, no sprouts will appear the
next year unless it be sassafras or post
oak runners.
The whole secret of killinc other
than grubbing, seems to be in sap pois
oning. The sap must sour, which kills
the roots. Hence some practice cutting
the stumps a foot or more in heigth.
An experiment of this kind showed a
decided gain, since the stumps rotted
out in four years' tine from cutting.
The killing ot briars, especially dew
berries, bn!ll) all skill and iuJastry.
At one time- it seemed they were gone,
but when the land was put down to
meadow tliey came up as strong aud vig
orous as ever. Sassafras has been al
luded to; nobody ever killed one by
cutting it off ut the ground. The same
is tiue of persimmon. Tbey need very
different treatment. When cut a foot
or two from the ground sap poisoning is
more possible and effective. American
Farmer.
WILD FLOWERS AND THEIR CULTCRE.
People usually make too bard work ol
cultivating wild plants. They are apt to
attempt to imitutv the natural conditions
under which they find the p'.ants. Tliis,
to a certain extent, is wise, but in most
cases it is easily carried too far. Ttie
problem is simplified when we once come
to understand Ih't wild plants grow
where they aro obliged to grjw, lather
than where they desire to grow. Be
cause a plant grows in the woods is little
reason to expect that it may not grow
equally as well iu the sun. Aud then,
it is not necessary to wait until fa!l or
spring to take up the wild plnts. At
every outing, whatever the time of year

If a water supply is at hand, a moist
plat under trees or about buildings, where
there is some protection from wind, can
be made, and clumps of many species
can be romored with safety. It ia best
to remove them in summer, when the
flowering season is past. American
Gardening.
HARVESTING AND STORING POTATOES.
That potato require even more care
than grain in harvesting, is verified by a
long experience. Unless the soil is very
heavy and wet, digging should never be
done early in the fall. Potatoes should
remain in the ground until the vines
have become dead, and, if the weather
is warm and dry, they should remain
still longer. Of course there are excep
tions as whon blight withers the vines
and extends down to rot the tubers.
Then the crop should be harvested and
stored in a dry, cooi place as quickly as
possible.
Provided normal conditions exist, and
there Is no disease in the crop, potatoes
for winter storing should remain undug
until late fall, even until the last of Oc
tober. If possible, harvest when the
ground is dry, and do not let the tubers
be exposed to the wind and sun any
longer than to evaporate the moisturt
clinging to them. Whether dug with
a hoe, hook, or horse potato digger,
avoid harshness in removing the pota
toes from the ground. One reason why
potatoes should be left in the ground
until fully ripe is to toughen their ten
der skins to obviate easy abrasion, but,
of course, the principal reason therefoi
is that the tubers may become thoroughlj
mature, so as to be a healthful, nutri
tious food.
The potato tubers should not be al
lowed to burn in the sun, or their fine
flavor will be destroyed. The crop
should be handled as little as possible
to prevent abrasions that do irreparable
injury. It is always the best plan to do
tho assorting in the field when the tu
bers are gathered. Place the merchan
table potatoos carefully in crates, or
baskets, nevei throw them roughly in,
and do not take them from these recep
tacles until they are put in the bins in
the cellar. The mode, practiced by
somo farmers, of pouring them into a
wagon box in the field, from which they
are shoveled into a chute, wheuce they
side into the cellar, is ruinous to their
keeping qualities, and should never be
practiced.
The cellar, or store room, should be
dry, well ventilated, and cool. Do not
mass the potatoes together in big bins:
they will "sweat" the same as hay or
grain when in bulk, and will heat and
rot if there is no ready escape for the
moisture. To store potatoes in pits to
remain until spring, select a dry elevated
spot, and, whether buried below the
surface, or covered above the ground,
always leave a free space over the pota
toes for the evaporation of moisture.
Potatoes thus kept will not sprout dur
ing the winter. American Agriculturist.
FARM UXD GARDEN NOTES.
Late hatches of turkeys seldom prove
profitable.
A pond is not necessary ia raising
Pekin ducks.
Sheep cannot thrive on filthy food or
filthy quarters.
It is always an item to keep sheep as
clean as possible.
The Chinese sacred lily blooms as well
in pebbles and water as in soil.
Orange trees may be planted success
fully almost any month in the year.
Change the flock to fresh pastures
occasionally; they will thrive better.
Select now next year's hens and fatten
off the surplus unless they are fit to sell
as breeders.
The Newtown pippin is popular, not
only for home consumption but for the
foreign trade.
With sheep, as with other stock, the
best ieoding is a good variety regularly
and liberally given.
The earlier the sheep are matured the
less chance they will have to eat their
I heads off while growing.
Roman hyacinths are extensively use!
for forcing, which may be done at
temperature of sixty degrees.
When the lambs are weaued be sure
that tbey have access to a good supply of
water. This is essential to thrift.
While a few sheep can be kept on al
most every farm, they should not be
yarded with the cattle and horses.
Keep in a good condition now; a
sheep in a vigorous, thrifty condition in
the fall may be considered half win
tered. The new Princess strawberry, which
originated in Minnesota, was named by
the Horticultural Society of that State;
it at the same time took first prize over
fifteen now seedlings.
Put in a crop ol turnips for your
geese and ducks. Store them away for
winter, and during the cold season cook
them and thicken with bran and shorts,
and you will have a cheap and nutritious

or, better still, at the moment when the first Indication is noted of an
approaching cold, headache, any symptom of indigestion or depression of
spirits, will, in a large majority of cases, remove the whole difficulty in an
houi, without the patient being conscious of any other than a slightly warming
effect, and that the expected illness failed to materialize or has disappeared.
The Tabules are put up in small bottles, each containing six doses, the
whole e.isily carri.-d in the vest pocket or pnrteinonnaic. There is no fear of
spilling or spoiling anything with which they come in contact.
