Mhen a man 6ays there Is no use In
planting shubbery in the school house
yard, because the boys will destroy it,
some parents need spanking more than
their boys seed it.
The powdered hellebore used for
destroying the currant worm is a less
virulent poison than Paris green. In
the small amounts needed to efftct a
clearing of these pests there is less dan
ger from careless handling than there
is from any mineral poison.
Xo effective method of fighting rose
bugs has been found except hand-picking.
Arsenical poisons, kerosene emul
sions, pyrethnim powder, and all the
usual insecticides have proved power
lens against this sturdy pest, which de
fies everything exce.pt actual capture by
hand.
It requres good, practical judgment
to forecast probable work to be done
and adapt it to the help that is cm
ployed to do it. Trying to do too
much is the besetting sin of Ameri
can farmers. They have been led into
tliis through the cheapness of land, and
of late years by the increusu of labor
saving machinery.
Land that has grown much clovci
seed Is not good for a strawberry
patch. It Is good for almost any
other furm crop for which clover is
either harmlct-s or a valuable manure.
But among strawberries clover is one
of the worst of weeds, and for this
reason It Is not best to sow gypsum or
land planter on the strawberry patch
lest it causo too great au intrusion of J
clover.
A college-bred man of twenty-eight,
falling iu health from office work, pur
chased a farm of sixty acres at Xorth-
Eort, Long Island. The second year
e tried a few acres In vegetables and
email fruits, which he found sale for
in the village of Xorthport at most sat
isfactory prices. I wa on his farm in
the summer of 1883, and 1 must say
that for a man who had got his knowl
edge almost wholly from books, his
venture looked as If it would be a com
plete success.
Ifr. Tcfer ITendergon tolls of an a
pnragus grower near Atlanta whoso
crop gave for three successive yours a
net profit of f 1,500 per acre and as
instancing departures from old meth
ods, cites the case of a farmer residing
near Rochester, "who half a dozen
years ago, timidly made the attempt of
growing 4 half acre of his fifty-acre
farm in vegetables for a village mar
ket. His venture was so satisfactory
that he gradually increased his area,
so that lie now uses thirty of his fifty
acres mostly for the Rochester market.
The net profit from the cabbage garden
last year was 56,500, or a little over
200 per acre, and it was not a very
good year for cahbages at that."
A few months ago ft big ensilage
convention was held at Cleveland,
OMo, to talk over the best way to
make and preserve the fodder and
compare notes on silo building. The
wooden silo in some of Its forms, was
Votod the favorite. The evidence
seemed conolusive that the woodun silo
ras nearest frost proof, kept iu con
tents in the best state of preservation
and if properly built and painted,
Iwhen built by itself with gome good
wood preservative, it would last for
tears. The silo, with lathed and plas
tered Interior, was also largely en-
Eorsed, while those who had the double
oarded silos painted were good
fenough. Not a man voted for stone or
concrete sllo9, although Several who
had 6uch were present.
The committee appointed at the last
Annual meeting of the Ayrshire Breed
ers' Association, iu Maine recommend
the adoption of a set of rules to govern
cow tests at all fairs, dairy shows and
experiment stations, that the awards
toay be given to the breeds or single
animals wlilch show their superiority
as profitable dairy cows. These rules
In brief are, that all cows entered for
trial shall be seouroly locked up, shall
be fed, watered, inilkod, etc., uniform
ly, under the charge of a superinten
dent, the cow to be charged with all
food consumed. A statement of the
cow's previous condition and treat
ment must be made under oath. The
cows must be milked regularly, and
samples of each milking must be
analyzed, and only the dry fat be cal
culated. The cow or herd giving the
greatest quantity of marketable pro
ducts, at least cost, to be awarded tho
prizes.

Prof. Cook, of the Michigan Agtt-
cultural College, says : It is my prac-;
tice to barrow my corn ground before
the corn is up, and until it gets five or
six inches high. I use a very broad
fine tooth harrow, with the teeth slant
ing back. This does no damage to the
corn even when the latter is well up.
There is something peculiar In the
small tract of land in Holland on
which are raised the celebrated Dutch
bulbs. There is only 148 acres of it,
and there is annually shipped to Eng
land, France, Germany and the United
States over $300,000 worth of bulbs
from this less than a quarter section of
land.
The production of wool in India,
Central Asia and China is estimated at
300,000,000 pounds, Australia and New
Zealand possess 75,000,000 sheep,
producing 200,000,000 pounds of wool
worth $1 14,160,000. La Plata posses
ses 100,000,000 sheep, producing 50,

Europe possesses 200,000,000 sheep,
yielding 400,000,000 pounds of wool.
There is no root that is better for
milch cows than the parsnip. It is
largely grown in the islands of Jersey,
and feeding with it for successive gen
erations has probably had much to do
with developing the butter-making
ualities of the Jersev breed of cows.
The parsnip is less difficult to keep
clear of weeds than the carrot, and is
fully as good, if not hotter, cropper on
deep, rich soil.
The population of the United States
is only one-fifteenth of that of the
globe ; yet our agriculture amounts in
volume to one-sixth of the world's to
tal. We are becoming- more and more
a nation of manufacturers, and miners
and producers In various lines, and yet
our agricultural supremacy is so far
maintained that there is no question
that It can be held against any change
that may take place In any other part
of the world.
Of late years, mainly by large impor
tations from South America, nitrate of
soda and nitrate of potash are much
cheaper than they used to be. Still
they are too costly to bo used in large
amounts. A little concentrated nitrate
goes a long way as a fertilizer. As
they are very soluble they should only
be sown in the spring, that crops may
at once use them. If sown In fall
niOHt of their value will be washed
away and wasted.
Take three pounds each of flowers
of sulphur and quick-lime. Slack the
lime and boil with tho sulphur in six
gallons of water until reduced to two
gallons. Allow this to settle, then
pour on tho clear liquid and bottle it
for use. An old Iron pot will answer
to boil it in. A gill of this liquid,
mixed with five gallons of water, is an
excellent prevention and cure for mil'
dew upon plants showered upon
them as soon as the mildew" appears.
As soon as the buds open, a little

What is lacking is truth
and confidence.
If there were absolute truth
on the one hand and absolute
confidence on the other, it
wouldn't be necessary for the
makers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy to back up a plain
statement of fact by a $500
guarantee.
They say "If we can't
cure you (make it personal,
!)lease,) of catarrh in the head,
n any form or stage, well pay
you $500 for your trouble in
making the trial."
"An advertising fake," you
say.
Funny, isn't it, how some
people prefer ' sickness to
health when the remedy is
positive and the guarantee
absolute. .
Wise men don't put money
back of " fakes."

Character In Gait.
It is well to beware of the man who
carries his left foot in toward his right
iu walking, giving the Impression that
his right foot turns out and his left foot
turr.stn. This man Is a petty larcenist
He way perhaps have never stolen In
bis life, but that was because of fear,
or lack of opportunity, but all the same
he is liable at any time to sequester un
considered trifles for pure wantonness.
He is of a kleptomaniac nature, but he
Is not nearly so dangerous as the man
v bo deliberately lifts his legs up from
the thigh as though ha was going up
stairs. That man is a natural and edu
cated villain. In England, where the
tread-mill Is nsed In prisons, many con
victs acquire that peculiar step, but It
is the natural, careful, cat-like tread of
the criminal. The girl who walks with
a flat foot planted squarely on the ground
as thoush she wanted it to grow there
may not be as attractive as the girl
with the arched Instep, but she is a
good deal better natured. 6he Is sure
to be a good nurse, kind-hearted, sym
pathetic, an ious to bear the burdens
of others, while the girl with the arch
ed foot Is nearly sure to be selfish, and
certain to be a coquette if she walks on
her toes.
The man of short, nervous steps to
always a business roan of energy, but If
the stride is from the knee only, he Is
cold and selfish, caring for no one but
himself. The man whose stride is long
and at the same time energetic, Is gen
erally bright, always erratic and ill
balanced, often conceited, always care
Jess, fond of admiration, generally
wiilin? to sacrifice much for praise and
eclat, and, while often a good fellow
generally unreliable. The diplomat
and the financier have a smooth, glid
ing walk, bard to describe but easy to
recognize. There Is nothing sneaking
about It, but it betokens careful delib
pratlon, as though every step were duly
considered before being made.
Ureat statesmen and great philan
thropists always have a loose, shambling
gait, which comes ot thinking about
others more than about themselves.
The strut of the vain man, the teetering
Irlp of the "dude," the lounging gait
of the unemployed club man, are all
loo familiar to require description. To
say that a person walks like a lady or
like a gentleman Is high praise. The
pait can never be picked up in after life
it must be born in a man or woman,
and cultivated in early youth. It is
lost to a man when he falls Into bad
ways, Tor so surely as he loses his con
sciousness of rectitude and pride of
honor, so surely will be pick np the
gait of the loafer. An honest man
lentle or simple, never walks like a
thief, and a thief can never counter
feit the gait of an honest man, but. In
attempting to apply these rules to men,
one knows it must be remembered that
all thieves are not caught, and all sus
pected persons are not bad.

In view of the almost incredible
progress ef the last two generations it
is not the best judgment which pro
nounces the post electric system of
transportation the dream of an inven
tive maniac. There is a freshness
about the proposition that we shall
yet send letters across the continent
between the dawns of successive days
that takes the average breath away,
and the suggestion that passengers are
to be rushed through space at the rate
of 200 miles per. hour is apt to alarm
the appreheusive. The truth is that
we live in a phenomenal age. All the
ancient faiths concerning the develop
ment of material things are being
rudely jostled by the nushing shoulders
of science. It is no longer the dream
of a visionary that we shall converse
with persons a thousand miles away.
Marked progress has been made toward
solving the problem of rial naviga
tion, and although it is yet impossible
to predict the ultimate outcome it is
not insauity to believe that air ships
may yet run counter to the winds.
The turning of a key illuminates a
populous city and new explosives shat
ter in an instant obstacles which were
deemed immovable. There are im
provements to the telegraph .which
would have astounded House had he
lived to sco them. Nor is this true
only in the world of mechanics. On
the turf all expected records have
bocn lowered and men have walked
more miles on tho tanbark track in s
week than horses could travel. Tht
Eiffel tower in Paris looks down in
scorn on the tradition that no edifice s
thousand feet high could be made to
support iU own weight. Tho pessim
irts may growl as much as they please,
but the fact remains that this is th
grandest ago in tho history of tin
world.
