It is my opinion that the hedge is much more desirable than the wire fence, since so much damage is annually done to live stock by tho sharp barbs. With the frequent wind storms of recent years, it was quito a satisfaction to know that tho hedge fence cannot be blown down. There are still many miles of hodge in this country, and if well kept, it is orna mental and will last for tnnny years. The cost of pruning is not very much, and can bo done when other work is not pressing.

When farmers take npon themselves (he destruction of ground moles they little realize that they are working against their own interest. The ani mals live entirely npon insects nnd ean devour in twenty-four hours several times their own weight, leaving all vegetable matter alone. If the sur face of the soil shows indications of their presence, it may be declared in advance that they have found on their passage through the substrata the re quisite food for their maintenance, which in the case of beet cultivation generally means white worms. These would hove subsequently come to the surface and partially destroyed a crop of beets. That rows of roots have suf fered from ground moles is insignifi cant in comparison with acres of beets that would have been victims of insect ravages. It frequently happens that the tiller prides himself npon the suc cess of his beet crop while his neighbor, suggests the Sugar Beet Journal, hai been less fortunate, when the real cause may have been that in the latter case the ground moles have been destroyed and in the former thev were loft to themselves. A GLASS CAS GARDES. Tho following interesting mcthoJ of observing the sprouting nf seeds is communicated to , tho Observer by Charles A. Emery. The necessary im plement is a largo glas jar ot can. The ono used by the writer formerly held can.ly at a confectioner's, and was treated as follows : "It was filled to within about an inch of the neck with earth and a row of seeds, corn, peas, beans, etc., were laid around next to the glass, and an inch more of soil added. The condition of the seed is the Eame as it would bo if planted in the ground, except each seed was in plain sight, and the process of swelling, spronting, the root growing down and the top up, could be watched through all its stages, giving a far better idea of the growth of the seed lings thun pages of book description. Any glass dish can be used that has a plain side, such as fruit cans, tall tumblers, large bottles, with the top cut oft', or even a small wooden box, with one of its sides removed and re placed with a pane of glass, and the trouble of making one will be well re paid by the interest that will be taken in it by both old and young."

Some farmers have laughed at the idea of microbe farming, but pro gressive agriculturists have closely watched our columns for reports of progress along this line. It is now established that certain bacteria en able clover, alfalfa, peas, beans aud other legumes to utilize nitrogen of the air that otherwise would not be available. By growing these crops to plow under or to feed stock, farmers avoid buying nitrogen in fertilizers lor some crops, and this means an im mense saving of monev. The trouble has been that the breeds or species of nitrogen bacteria that thrive on cor tain crops are not always present in the soil, and this acoounts for many a failure of clover seed to "catch well Months ago we suggested that the time would come when cultures of nitrogen bactoria adapted to each crop might be on the market, but the idea was received with derision by certain "know-it-alls." But now we learn that such cultures have been placed on the market in Germany this spring by a concern that claims to have made very satisfactory sales. The material is called "nitrogiue," and is being carefully tested at tho Cottingen ex periment station. In our country, cllorts have been made ot the Illinois station to cross the clover root and corn .root bacteria, in hopes of breed ing a hybrid microbe that while pos sessing the ability to take up nitrogen from air would also thrive on the corn root, and thus euable the crop to feed freely upon atmospheric nitrogen. Here is a vast field that enthusiastic bacteriologists are working into, and should they finally secure microbes that will euable the prinoipal crops to utilize the nitrogen of the air, it will be the greatest of all triumphs in tho application of tcienco to farming. In stead of sneering at this germ theory, it behooves all of us to keep informed npon the subject and get tho benefit of it as fast as methods are perfected for its practical application. Sew England Homestead. liRAIXINl? rUE SWAl p. Swamp lands vury greutly in tho cost of drainage, same bein;; very easily drained, merely requiring a good out let and drains to catch the water that comes down on them from tho sur rounding uplands, while others having a hard aud impervious hiIjmu! near the surface require frequent drains over the entire surface. Springy swamps uro usually the most dilticult to drain well, as it is necessary to so cut the ditches as to tap the streams of water be'oro it reaches tho surface, and this requires much skill aud ex perience. The nature of the vegetn tiou growing iu a swamp will have considerable influence ou the cot-t of reclamation. Muny swamps are ditched uud then left without uny further at tempt at rendering thorn productive, the owners supposing that they being rid of their surplus water will, like now-cleared upland, soon produce good pasture without seeding. This is A mistake; tho old mnrsh vegetation is iirmly rooted, aud though the drained land is not well suited to its growth, it hangs on nnd is replaced very slowly or not at nil by better food. Now, if wo have to spend any money at all on these lands, the only way to get it back is to keep growing on them till they will grow good crops of some kind. Cut off the brush and break up tho wild grass sod and get some good tame grasses growing. The most of our swamp lands, when properly ditched aud cleared, are especially adapted to grazing and the production of hay, And for this reason are usually most profitable when owned and farmed in connection with adjoining uplands ; this is especially the case where mixe 1 farming is followed. Again, tho closer and more compact farm is, the cheaper it can bo worked. In other words, it may be more profitable to reclaim aud work a swamp thau go around and beyond this swamp to purohase upland, becanpo the upland is farther away from too buildings. The cost of fencing must also be considered in looking at this subject, especially if tho swamp is al ready on the farm. So long as tho swamp is unproductive, the adjoining cultivated Geld must bear tho whole cost of the fence ; when tho swamp is cleared we increase the productive area of tho farm without much in crease of fence, and thereby reduoe the cost per aero of fencing tho farm. The Silver Knight. HANDLING CORN FODDER ON A LARGE SCALE. In the great corn belt of the Mis sissippi valley, most of tho corn that is cut is made into largo shocks ami allowed to remain in the field nntil needed, without rotoction. Daily, or as wanted, a shook is hnulod to the feed lot and scattered over the ground for the stock, whether horses, cattle or sheep. If the feeding place is high and dry, this is about the most eco nomical plan. Cattle soon lonra to busk and eat the whole ears, whilo sheep and horses find no trotiblo in getting to the grain. Many dairymeu feed it in this condition to their cows and consider it the beet and chonpeBt material obtainable. The blades and a part of the stalks will bo consumed. During muddy weather, racks must be provided and even then there is con siderable waste, for in getting at the ears, stalks are liable to be pulled out and dropped onto the ground. If feed ing can be done in barns or under shed;, the results will be much more satisfactory. Instead of leaving in the field, many store it under sheds or stack it. Iu the first case, pile it so it can be easily removed when wanted for feed. Make it as oompaet as possible. It should be dry when put in. In stacking, pro ceed much as in stacking small grains, whether the fodder is in bundles or loose. Keep the middle high so that the butts of the stalks will hang down and shed.the water. It is best to put in long narrow ricks, so that succes sive sections can be removed without affecting the remainder. If well stacked and covered, fodder will keep in good condition for months. It is much safer than if left in the field. Daring recent years, shredding has come into favor. The fodder is run through a machiuo which husks the ears, tearing stalks and blades into small bits. The shredded fodder can be baled as hay or stored in the mowt It requires much judgment and some experience to determine just when the fodder is dry enough for storing. Considerable complaint of moldy fod der was beard last season, borne feed ers prefer jcut fodder to shredded. There will always be two sides to every feeding problem. To secure fodder of the very best! quality, it is cut while the blades are still quite green and put into small shocks. After the blades have cured, thoroughly and the ears have beeomo dry, the corn is husked. Ths fodder U then put into large shocks or moro commonly stored iu stacks, sheds or havmows. If thought desirable, the stalks can be run through a cutter be-1 fore being given to the farm rnimals. Where stock is kept iu stables this is a very commendable plan, as the long stalks are a nuisance when the stalls are to be cleaned. A considerably greater percentage of the crop will be eaten if it be cut or shredded. In dairy localities this method is com mon, but where the crop is fed to beef cattle, taking direct from the field and feeding uuhuskod is very satisfactory. Novel Test of Pure Air. A novel method for the detection of the admixture of one gas withauother has lately been described. It depends upon the fact that when air, of the buiuo composition and temperature, is blown into similar pipes, such as organ pipes, they produce the same note, but if ono ot the two feed-pipes be fed with air containing even a small proportion of gas of a different density it gets out of tuno and beats are produced, the number of beats being proportional to the amount of the foreign gas in the mixture. It is claimed that by this method tho pres ence of niursh gas in a mine can be detected, and that it can be employed for acoustically determining the amouut of carbonic- acid in furnaoe gases.

In tho judgment of medical author ity npon the food values of fruits, grapes are second to none but tho standard apple. Thoy are healthful and nourishing, and 6hould be eaten very froely as long as they can be procured in good condition, care being taken to eject the seeds. Grapes are a strength ening fruit, and especially good for delicate persons. It is well to keep a dish of the fruit where it will Lo tempting, prettily Arranged in a shal low dish with a few asters, sprays of golden rod or other hardy flowers stuck here and there, and grapes will be an ornament for any room. Grapes should always be washed before being served, and for the table a little cracked ice should be sprinkled over them. Wild grapes make the best flavored jelly, being tart and pungent. Anions the cultivated grapos the Isabella is perhaps the best variety to nso. Grapes are best for jelly when not too ripe. To make the jelly, free the grapes from stems and leaves ; wash and put them into a preserving kettle without draining; cover and place them where they will be boated slow ly, stirring frequently to help mash the fruit, as well as to keep it from scorching. When the grapes are ten der lay a largo piece of cheese cloth iu a sieve and place the sieve in a large bowl, l'our the cooked grapes into the cloth and press all the juice from the fruit. Measure the Btraiued juiae and pour it into the preserving kettle, place it over the fire and when tho liquid reaches the boiling point allow it to boil rapidly for thirty minutes. For every pint of juice allow 'one pound of granulated sugar. Fut the sugar into a baking pan and place in the even. Stir frequently to prevent coloring. When the grape juico has boiled the required length of time gradually turn in the heated sugar, stirring all the while until the sugar is all dissolved. Take the kettle from the fire and turn tho liquid jelly into heat ed glasses, and, when cold, cover. Jelly of two colors and different flavors may be made with tho same grapes by separating the pulp and skin of the fruit and cooking each one by itself. A dark, rioh looking jelly will be formed by the skins, and the pulp will make a light, amber colored jelly. Detroit Free Press. , nOCSEHOLD HINTS, Wear a clean apron while ironing or bedmaking.

Ilut In the fall above mentioned I was compelled to give my attention lo It, for I hnd to stop traveling nnd go to doctoring mysel'. My efforts seemed fruitless. I grew worse and worse. My weight was decreasing. My blood was apparently growing poor and leas in quan tity.
