The file is a more important farm tool thnn many farmers, who during all their live have never filed tho cutting edge of hoe blade, are aware of. If such men have a practical demonstration of the difference between a dull and a sharp hoe, they are certain to purchase a (mall flat file for the workmen to enrry in their pocket when engaged in work requiring the use of a sharp hoe. File the hoe upon both sides of the blade, and it will retain an edge longer and cut (tnootber than when the filing it all upon one side, although it should be died most on tbe inside. Both a flat, a three-cornered and a round file should be kept on bant). Their use will often save a trip to tbe shop in a busy time, and they pay for themselves many times each year in sharper edged tools. American Agriculturist. PAT MUTTON NOT POPCLAII. Fat mutton once had a wider range of admirers in England than at present. The fatted animals were the best. A dish of potatoes was placed in the com mon oven, and over it the fat loin of a Leicester sheep. This made a great mass of gravy. The master of the house dined oil the meat, while hi family equally lared on the delicious and sat urated potatoes. But at the present time luxury has almost banished the fat Leicester mutton from tbe tables of the manufacturing operative, and is more confined to those engaged in the mining districts. The Southdown and the High land Scot, the Cheviot, and the half bred (small in joint and full of flavor, with less fat) seem to be the kind of sheep which the spread of luxury and epicuri aniein denunds in tbe manufacturing districts of ti?e country, and therefore the present tendencies of breeders must be somewhat checked, if not altogether reversed. American Former. BOW TO J TOGS CLOVER SEED. Professor Mcnke once made a singular experiment to test clover seed. There were green seedf, yellow seeds, light brown, dark brown and black. The same number were sown under identical conditions and the results are given be low. Very few of the green seeds reached the cotyledonous stage, aud were very weak. Almost all tbe yellow germinated and produced a good stand of healthy plant. The light brown did very well, but not as well a the yellow. There was n slight decrease both in the number that germinated and the health of the plants. Taking the dark brown, it was evident that a the darkness in creased the value of the seed decreased. With the black there as a confirmation of the last result. Tbe results are of benefit to farmers in this regard, that in the selection of their seed they cn notice regarding tho relative proportions of color aud endeavor to procure that which appears to be most largely com posed of the yellow and light brown. American Dairyman. THE IMPROVEMENT OF SOIL. Tbe amount of water iu a soil and its rate of circulation being among the most important factors in determining the growth of cultivated plants, it follows that the art of cultivating and manuring must be based on the possible control of the water supply ia the soil. In a report on soil investigations, by Mr. Whitney, of the Maryland StatioD, it is shown that the continued use of lime, kainit and phosphoric acid makes the soil more loumy, looser in texture and less reten tive of moisture. Many of our agricultural lands need Improvement in the other direction. They need to be made closer in texturo uud more retentive of moisture. In tbe investigations under consideration it was found that ammonia, the caustic alka lies, carbonate of soda, and probably many other substances tend to briug about the desired improvement. The judicious use of lime, kainit or acid phosphate, along with organic mat ter added to the soil, is aid to give a value to the application which it would not otherwise have bad. In this connec tion a value to stable manure is given out of all proportion to the amount of plant food which it contains. Lime, also, either alone or when acting with organic matter, Is named as baving a distinct value for all classes of land. New York World. MANAGEMENT OP HORSES. Let the horseman know that much of his worth to his master depends upon the manner in which he studies the com fort of his horses during their labor. If a horse's head is reined up too tightly, or his juw is tied down to bis client, or if, as I have seen, both horses on a plow are so tied to each other that neither tins freedom of motion, and consequently works fretfully all day, we huve in such cases n bo ut as sure a method of working the flesh off an animal as can be 'icvineil, besides inflicting positive pecuniary in jury upon the muster. Let the horseman be instructed as to the why and wherefore of the things he dully see. ieaeli him why it is wron. cruel aud oonardly to pluee his twe! .o or fourteen stone weight directly upon the loins of a mare heavy in foul, and thus ride jolting to and from his work; why, when the animal is iu this condi tion, great tare is necessary during frosty weather, etc. Let him be inuie familiar with the shape and make of dillereut hone's shoulders and be taught so to adjust the trace uud seula ou a col lar as to coiuiuuud the most leverage, or iliuii'ut power. Let hiiu be instructed iu Uo fuiuiutiou of the horse' foot, as an aid to which Trofessor Brown' pamphlet, "Tho Structure of a Horse' Foot," will be found exceedingly useful. Lot him be shown how, standing in boxes or stnlls or even in yards oa manure is ruinous to tho feet of the horsoaud how necessary it is to keep the stable clean. In addition to the foregoing thoso who havo charge of horses should be mado acquainted with all premonitory symptoms of the com mon complaint of the horse. Reme dies might then often be resorted to bo fore it is too late, on the principle that prevention is better than cure. Western Agriculturist. MANAGEMENT OP CAPON. There is nothing about the poultry business, writes George Q. Dow, of New Hampshire, in the American Agricultur ist, that requires so little attention or effort on the part of the owner as raising capons. They are rarely ick or ailing, always vigorous and hearty, are quiet and docile, and many more can be put in one house or pen with no fear of harm that would result from any other poultry. As soon as the fowl is caponized let him run wherever you wish to have him, and he will get along all right. I usually put my capons in a pen or yard by themselves for about a week, feeding them on soft feed of any kind and plenty of water, but furnish no roosts. In a very few days the cut will heal over, and a little later the scar can hardly be found. In healing come air may get under tho skin, which causes the wound to "wind pull." When this happens (imply prick the skin and let the air out, as it is a second's work, but it is not necessary to even do this. Na ture will take care of it in time and find a way to let it out. After a week I let the birds go where it is most desirable for me to have them, generally putting them in the yards with other chickens or letting them run at large. Capons need no more care than other poultry do. Feed them all they want to eat and keeptheir quarters clean. Sim ply treat them as you would any grow ing chickeus, and tho capons growth will be surprising. The rapid growth of capons for the first few months is re markable and very interesting. A New York poultry raiser wrote mo that his capons gained three pounds each in six weeks. Uf course tho tint growtn is principally bone and frame work. When this is developed they then tak on flesh and fat. I find it about as well to feed corn alone in winter, with bone and shell before them all the time. They are not great caters, as, being quiet, all they eat goes to lorm nesu ana lat. Only feed what they will eat and you will soon have some tcn-pouud capons to sell. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. By using crude carbolic acid freely, lice may be effectually cleaned out. Mulch the rhubarb and asparagus and work the mulch into the (oil if you de sire to have an extra growth next spring for early use. Select your teed potatoet In the fall, unless you have an abundant supply. It may do to plant small seed once la a while, but as a rule to follow it will not work successfully. 'The melancholy days have come" for the cow whose master thinks it is nil right for her to sleep out door on cold, frosty nights, and to rustle around in the cold fall rains in search of food. Swamp muc'.c has a wide range of ' value as to fertilizing quality. Some of it hasn t enough nitrogen In It to pay for digging, much less hauling, while others are worth $5000 an acre if a yard deep. The axiom "A penny saved Is worth two earned" is practically illustrated by ceding unthreshed oat to cow and :alves. Try it once, and you will never waste time, money and labor in thresh ing oats. 01 course, after milking your cow all summer you Know wnat eaca can ao, and whether you are milking her at a profit or a loss, so you will have no trouble in telling which ones to sell to the butchers. Locality and custom has much to do with to nearly uniform a vegetable a tbe tweet potato. The true Southerner want it tweet nnd toft, while hi more Northern brother prefer it "mealy," like a good Irish potato. It i easier to keep a cow up to her regular flow of milk with a little feed than it is to bring her back to it after she has shrunk oil it, with a good deal of feed. This is an instance where "ao ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." If you have any little chick that are peeping around frosty mornings because they need stockings to make them com fortable, it will be humane and money in your pocket if you take their heads off at a single blow with a sharp hatchet. Tbe old-fashlone) dark bara with a stone basement and manure cellar is go ing nut of fashion. Kverybody now wants the cow stable to be light and airy aud pHrtieularly sweet smelling. .Make all of it of wood and put in lots of double windows where the cows ttund. Kiuoketutk For Ten liloclts.

'It would be a parallel case,' 1 said, 'if you, a man who has two hands, should offer to fight a man with none.' By this speech I had gotten myself into a tight place.

His companions then laughel at my uneasiness, while I protestei that I did not want to fl'ht with him.

On of the most remarkable Instance of desert-mad making ever soon wat that in Death Valley. Tbe marsh there wat bridged over by a natural deposit of (alt so thick that it would bear the weight of a railroad train a bridge quite a in teresting in it way a tho ice bridge on which railroad train cross tin St. Law rence River during some winters. The engineering problem in Death Valley, however, was simple, for the Irregu larities of the surface of the bridge had merely to be levelled with sledge ham mers to create a permanent way that in five year of steady use showed no ma terial wear or injury. Only a little less striking, however, ore the mud roads to be found there nud elsewhere in the desert. It sounds somewhat paradoxical to speak of mud roads on a desert, but long stretches of mud crossed by high ways can be found in both Nevada and California, where the region is to arid that nothing but grease brush aud cactus grow there. About the homo of the famous old prospector and grizaly bear killer, John W. Hearlet, who lives on the west side of tho Atlas Mountains, one finds several miles of roadway which he has built across a seemingly impass able marsh. The thermometer stands at 120 degrees in the shade for days at a stretch there, but the mud in that marsh never dries up. The mud is impassable, but bridges of sand have been built across it. The mud is peculiar. If a mule should try to cross it he would sink to hit body, and stay where he sank till helped out. Nevertheless, whin sand and gravel from the mesa are dumped on the mud they do not sink altogether, but form instead a very good bridge over the mud. Tho sand and mud that come in contact with each other seem to form a cement that hardens under the heat of the sun into a solid crust strong enough to support a ballasting of Baud and gravel above it and the loud of mules und wagons on the bullust. The mud over which these bridges of snud are built has been penetrated to a depth of more than a hundred feet without find ing anything but mud, and it is a very (oft mud at thnt. New York Sun.

Great Saving Results From tho Use of SAPOLIO ElUInf ft Hop Qrtsaly. For tome time the cattle men in the vicinity of Bridgeport hav been missing cattlo from their herds. Among the prlnolpal losers was N. B. Ilunnemilt, an extensive land and cattle owner. Ho set a big 100-pound boar trap in a pigpen-like structure of log, with an open ing on one aide, and batted the trap with a calf head. He also attached an eighty-pound log to tbe trap. It had iron hook to it so that it would catch agninst obstructions and prevent the ferocious animal from traveling rapidly. It was set for two day, but tho bear did not touch the bait. Finally Mr. Hunnemill visited the log Jpen In Buck eye canyon and found the trap gone. The trail of the log and trap and track of the boar led up the. height above the canyon. Ha raisod a poM of msu, among whom was Mr. Miner. They trailed the bear up the tides of the moun tain, over perpetual snow at times and barren stietchos at others. They traveled fast nnd m ule many mile before they finally cam in sight of the grizxly. 'Ills right forepaw was cau flit in the trap," said Mr. Miner, "but, notwith standing that and the dragging of the eighty-pound log, he traveled well. At soon at wo got near enough we com menced firing with our Winchesters and revolver. We fired at least twenty-fivo shots. The benr reared and bawled like a calf.
