6t tloas Importance of a Contla
Selection of Seed?
Experiments made at the Connecticut
station make it appear that grain la
general needs thicker planting on poor
than on fertile soil, and that the lodging
of grain results from the too crowded
growth when the plants shade each other
ioo touch, become watery, and for this
reason a manured piece of land may give
loss return than a more sterile one na
iler certain conditions.
A series of experiments were made try
thia station, to determine the relative
value of certain dent and fbnt varieties
of corn. Both were planted at different
and measured distances in rows four feet
apart, The unexpected result was reach
ed that the dent would bear closer plant
ing and give heavier returns from thick
planting than the flint, although the dent
was taller, larger, had heavier leaves,
and larger and longer ears. The flint
yielded the heaviest crop when planted
we foot apart in the row, while the dent
produced the most with two stalks to
foot. This remarkable difference in fa
vor of the thickest planting for the largei
variety was usc-ribed to the continued se
lection 61 seed of this particular sub
variety of the dent for, the past fifteen
years, with a special view to this su
periority, and it affords a strong recom
mendation of the practice of continuous
selection with valuable points in view.
This reproduction of plants from the
seed continuously produces lew varie
ties; bnt this Improvement is not to be
expected in case of the potato, which ii
ttot increased by seed, but only from
cuttings of the underground stems.
Trials with corn as reported in a bul
letin issued by the Illinois elation have
led to the following conclusions: The
varieties maturing about Sept. 25 gave
larger yields of well dried corn than either
earlier or later sorts. The lose after husk
ing ranges from 10 to 20 per cent., and
eighty pounds of ear com were required
to weigh a bnHhcl of air dry com. Bar
renness of stock seems to depend more
on thickness of planting and season than
on variety. The yields have varied but
little from pointings niodo nt any time
not later than June 1. Drill planting
has not been found materially better
than lull planting. Planting at the rate
of one kernel to every iiino or twelve
Inches gave more grain, and one kernel
to every six inches more fodder than
thicker or thinner planting. Deep aud
close cultivation injured the crop. Fre
quent cultivation did not pay the extra
cost. Commercial fertilizers did not in
crease the yield Stablo manure in
creased the yield, bat not sufficient to
earn the cost.
Tbtatles and Quack Gnu.
I hod a nine aero lot that was com
pletely overrun with Canada thistles;
besides on a part of it there was a good
Heal more quack grass than made it
agreeable to farm. In the spring, four
years ago, I put it under barley, and
when the crop was cut scarcely any bar
ley could be seen, so thick and high were
the thistles; bnt the yield of barley was
thirty-five bushels to the acre. Just as
soon as the crop was secured the plow
was started and we plowed deep. Thea
dragging and rolling followed. The
weather was dry. In this condition the
land was left till about Sept. 1, when
the sulky plow vns started around the
lot, plowing with two horses at the rate
tt three acres per day. Tho plow was
set to run about two inches deep; after
that wa dragged once and sowed to
wheat The result was that thistles and
quack grass ure no more to be seen in
that lot. Of. course dry weather is need
ed to perform the operation successfully ,
concludes the correpondent who related
the foregoing in Rural New Yorkei
Poultry In the Orchard.
vThen chickens are trained from the
first to live in the orchard they like no
place better and will be perfectly con
tent to scratch in the dirt for worms and
catch bugs and insects of every kind
which come near enough to the ground.
In thia way small orchurds especially can
be greatly benefited. Ducks, guineas,
turkeys and chickens nre all exceedingly
fond of bugs ami worms of nearly all
kinds, and if yon watch them hnnting
in tho orchard for a while you are sure
to bo convinced that they are a most ex
cellent destroyer of ix.-cts. By this com
bination the chickin-itre nt least partly
fed and tbo bugs nre converted into use
ful Animation. It can scarcely be said
that chickens will injure fruit, because
they will only peck at that which falls
lo the ground in a partly decayed or in
jured condition
Exoennive Incidents of Sandjr Land.
A farmer who has long cultivated a
sandy farm remarks as one of the expen
sive incidents of this land the increased
cost of fencing it. Posts set in sand rot
Out mnch more quickly than in heavier
oil, mainly because as with every rain
the water settles down, the air follows
and it is exposed to constant changes.
Sandy soil is through tho summer gen
et ally warmer than other land, and this
promotes speedy decay of anything in it.
The farmers hail once set poets that did
not last more than eight years before
they were rotted off. the decay occurring
just at the surface of tho ground. Posts
of the same kind set on heavier soil, wet
most of the season, were good after fif
teen years of service.
Itemed? for Cucumber fxoetlee.
Professor Cook recommends a table
spoonful of saltpeter dissolved in a pail
of water as a remedy for the striped and
black beetles that infest cucumber and
quash vines. A pint of the solution
poured around each hill is tho propel
prescription. Cut worms are also' said
to dislike tho doso, though a diet of pari!
reen, mixed with fine whoat middlings
and spread dry around the plants they
re threatening, is reported to be en -ally
ajs attractive and fatal to them.
Stirring the guilt
Hoeing in the garden a little while al
tnoet daily is necessary for keeping the
Weeds down aud giving it a clean ap
pearance, but its chief use at this season
is in stirring the soil. By this tho moist
ure Js prevented from being too rapidly
evaporated from tiie surface, and the
roots of tho plants and vegetables get the
benefit of it. Anybody can easily.'.'dis
cover the difference in the growth of the
garden plantH where tho surf see is baked
and hardened over and where it is culti
vated with tho hoe every day or two.
The same thing holds go.l in the fields.
Corn and potat'es should both bo culti
vated as long as they stand up sufficient
ly well to permit its being dono, even if
they are nut v.-eedy enough to require it.
It will pay in their growth, especially in
dry spells.
Turning Inilcr Rye.
. A green crop of any kind turned under
will benefit the land, and rye has long
been used for this purpose, because of
the ease with which it may be grown
and the facility with which it may be
bandied. Tho proper time for sowing
rye for turning under is early in the fall,
ao that tho crop may have as long a time
as possiblo to gather the elements of
ent food from the air and the soil. Tbe
t time to turn under is when it com
oeaces to head out in the spring.-

HOW TO PCT UP JILI.T.
When Jciiy is cold and firm rat a
round of while paper to fit the top of
tho giass aud dip it in the beaten white
of an egg. Press it down closo to the
jelly. If it Hues the side of the glass
an eighth of an inch ' will do no harm.
Over this place a Jayer o smooth
white cotton batting, fitting It closely
to the glass. Absorbent cotton is best,
but common cotton batting will do if
the jelly is firm. Over all paste a
round of paper, or paper dipped in
white of egg. Be sure the jelly is
stored where mice caunot nibble tho
paper and eat tho jelly..
Again, pour over the jelly alayer of
melted paruffino; melted, but not hot,
just warm enough to run. It will
harden rapidly. Then paste over the
glass a round of soft paper. When
the jelly Is used, incit the paraffine and
save till the following year. Mrs.
II ester M. Toole, who is authority for
the foregoing, says that where paste is
used a few drops of glycerine in each
ounce will prevent the label from curl

all told. But that is nothing. Hundred

They are gathered from cvciy where;
some are raised right within the city

many within 200 miles of New York

for the market, and in boxes each egg

The action of the postmaster of El

the Secretary of Mate to submit, at the

bly extending Ihi charter of the Louisi

deserving of the severest condemna
tion and censure, in t only because of
the Injustice of su?h an arbitrary pro
ceeding, but upon grounds of public
x licv. The btifimss manager of the
'Times very properly hail this post
master, who bears the historic name of
Smith, arrested for unlawfully detain
ing mail matter, and he was bound
over to apiear befoie a commissioner
for trial, but the punishment whatever
it will be, even If ever meted out after
many months of delay, wl.l not tit the
crime. Nothing short of absolute and
immediate ollicial decapitation, with
whatever punial ment the law provides,
would be proper lor such otliuious in
termeddling with the mails. If the
United rtaUa mall is to be subjected to
sch scrutiny and exclu Ion bj the
postmaster at El Paso, the postmasters
at tlie various other cities, towns, v:l
luges, hamlets and crossroads in the
State aud throughout the Uuited Stites
have the s tine rltfht, p uver and au
thority, and are of course at liberty to
do just as the postmaster at El I'aso
has done. If the postmaster can stop
the transmission, of a newspaper be
cause it has in it the decision of a
court iu reganl to the Loulsi.-via lot

can override the strongest bulwark of
tbe liberties of the people and violate
one of the plainest pr.iv.sious in t!.e
constitution of the Lnited Stales,
thereby completely throttling tbe press, i
Upon grounds of public policy the j

tolerate such tamierlug with the mail.
It throws open the doors to fraud and,
if pei milted, will tend to make the ser
vice Inetlicirut and uiueliaMe. Why
not detain a letter suspected of
containing a lottery advertisement, and
why not omi It to asceitaiu if the de
tention is legal? If its con ten' s are le
gal why then of course it might be per
mitted to continue 011 its journey.
The great wrom; doue news, aper
publishers, however, is to allow a post
master to authoritatively detain mail
matter wh!ck iu Ins opinion is illegal.
He ought not to lie permitted to do
this. If the publisher has committed
any wrong he can be held responsible
aud be made to miller the penalty; but
a postmaster may detaiu an entire edi
tion of a newsi a;-er, entailing a heavy
loss upon the publisher, and yet when
the matter comes to a final trial the
court may dt cide that the papers are
mailable. The damage has then been
done the publisher, and there seems to
be no adequate remedy for him. Sup
pose the politics of a newspaper are ob
jectionable to the postmasters generally,
and throughout the Suite they choose
to hold a p iper because in their opin
ion it is not mailable, it would thus put
it within the power 01 the postal depart
ment to stop the circulation of a news
paper and bankrupt it, b aviirj; the pub

There's a patent medicine
which is not a patent medicine
paradoxical as that may
sound. It's a discovery! the

you tired, run-down, exhaust

women ; for you sufferers from
diseases of skin or scalp, liver
or lungs it's chance is with

because it aims to purify the
fountain of life the blood
upon which all such diseases
depend.
The medicine is Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.
The makers of it have
enough confidence in it to
sell it on trial.
That is you can get it from
your druggist, and if it doesn't
do what it's claimed to do, you
can get your money back,
every cent of it.
That's what its makers call
taking the risk of ilisir words.
