Spinach may yield as high as from fOO to 1,000 bushels us a merchanta ble product i>er acre within eight ' weeks' time after the seed Is planted, ' and the price per bushel often equals j that of potatoes, although the average ! price at which the crop is sold is prob ably considerably less, says Farm, Field and Fireside In preface to some Instructive hints as follows about ! growing it: I The complaint is often made by ' gardeners who are not expert cultiva tors of spinach that their plants do n<>i FATTENED SPINACH PLANT. [Less than eight weeks old. The half bushel Is Inverted over It to convey an Impression of the alxe of the plant.] form large and thick leaves, bat begin to spindle up at a very early age, and that the longer the crop remains in the field after this occurs the less valua ble It becomes. This trouble Is tracea ble directly to unskillful culture. Spinach leaves as they appear under the influence of high cultivation are made up largely of an unnatural growth. They are fattened by high feeding to satisfy tho demand of tho market. The modern varieties have become so accustomed to growing in soil that has been liberally supplied with everything that the roots need that they are unable to fully develop in soli of moderate fertility. The base leaves of spinach, which constitute the marketable portion of the plant, are few in number, but they have acquired the habit of expanding in a remarkable fashion. They appear to be made up of cells which possess the power of Indefinite division Just as long as the protoplasm in them Is high ly nourished, and while this growth goes on there Is little danger of the plants spindling. FRUIT GROWINQ, Spraying, Improved Cultivation and Proper Prmlsg. Fifteen years ago fruit growing to Orleans and Niagara counties. New York, had come to that point where It was considered a failure. Farmers and fruit growers were ready to—and many did—cut down their orchards, not on account of the price of fruit be ing low, but because they failed to bear. Year after year this continued, with now and then an occasional light crop, and if those conditions had con tinued a few years longer the apple orchards of western New York would have been practically wiped out But what a change! All at once the or chards began to bear, at first every other year, then, with but few excep tions, every year. The prices of farms that had gone away down until It was hard to find buyers at any figure began to pick up until the valuations doubled and in many instances trebled tho orlg inal price. Farmers longed for the trees that had been cut down and felt like kicking themselves all over the farm to think Lhat they knew no better. But what caused this change? This Is and prob ably always will be a disputed ques tion. Some hold that it was better cul tivation, thorough spraying, proper trimming, etc. Others hold that It Just happened so in the order of things and that cultivation, spraying, etc., had lit tle to do with it. But still they all, or nearly all, spray, and the orchard that once was sod bound, with brush heap tops, now is as carefully pruned and cultivated as any crop on the farm, says W. C. Eaton in National Stock man. Tlilacs fkat Keep Dawn Price. The most common substitutes used In the adulteration of maple sirup are other sugars and glucose. Much of the so called maplo sirup is nothing but a combination of sweets with a little maple molasses added to give the ma ple flavor. There is alse a maple sirup which contains uo maple ut all. The flavor Is obtained by adding to the compound an extract of hickory bark. These imitations pass with those never having tasted the pure article, but can quite readily be detected by those hav ing had experience. They servo to keep tho price down, and thus the ma ple groves yield their owners a much smaller profit than they otherwise would.—Ohio Farmer. Pear Dllsht tare. A Kansas man believes he has stum bled upon a preventive for pear blight in the chloride of sodium, or common tablo salt, applied as a brlae. It should be strong enough to bear an egg half way out of the water. He has sot had any blight since he begun to spray with salt brine, eight years ago, ex cept ou six trees which he did not spray as a Test. The result Is they are all dead or dying from the blight "This spraying with the salt brine must be done by March 1, or Just before the sap starts up. If done after the tree puts out buds or leaves It will surely die." FOOD FOR DAIRY COWS. The Northern Parmer Can Practical* ly Keep Away From the Mill Man. With bran at $lB to $22 n ton and still climbing and other mill Hoods pro portionately high, it is very evident that the dairyman must leave the pur. chase of these foods to some one else. He must try to raise foods that win take the place of these purchased mill foods. And happily he can, says Pro fessor Thomas Shaw in Orange Judd Farmer. In all the northern states the dairy farmer can keep practically away from the mil! man. lie may do so In other states, but he can do so more easily In the northern and moun tain states than In other areas. How can he do It? By growing fodder corn and roots. There is no state along the Amoricaa boundary in which first class fodder corn cannot l>e successfully grown. And there la no province of Canada on tho Canadian side In which the same may not be done. In some of these It may be more successfully done than lu others, but It may be success fully done in them »'!. Kind of Corn and Soil. The kind of corn must depend on th« locality. That kind will be best which gives the largest amount of fodder re gardless of ear production, provided the fodder Is so lino that It will be practically all eaten and that it reach es a stage of maturity almost perfect ed before it is cut. It is greatly im portant that tho corn shall bo nearly mature when it is harvested and that : it shall bo harvested before it has been ; injured by frost. Such corn will grow well ou any kind ' of drained and rich land, but In north era areas sandy loams are better adapted to Its growth than clays, as on the ifWtncr It grows more quickly to precede fodder corn. The roots of the corn revel amid the moisture and nutrient furnished by the decaying grass roots. MANAGING MANURE. Handling Twice la One® Too Often For Economy. u the manure cannot be hauled di rectly to the field, there la no way to handle it most economically, because It must be handled at least twice, and that la once too often for economy. In such ease, however, tho manure should be taken far enough away from the stable to keep bad odors from the cows. If kept under shelter, it must be tramped reasonably hard to prevent too rapid decomposition and must be kept wet enough to prevent "fire fanging." Better by all means haul directly to the field, and the manure should be spread as fast as hauled. It Is a mis take to plow the field first, then haul the manure afterward. Tiling in large piles means that whatever liquids come from the pile will soak Into the ground, of course. But it means also land too rich where the piles are and not rich enough where they are not—a spotted field. When Manure la Too "Strawy." If the manure is too "strawy," better leav* field unplowed until the ma nure ft all spread, then plow. Piling in heaps may cause loss of nitrogen in the form of ammonia, because the decay of the organic matter is not tak ing place In the soil, where all snch loss would be reduced to a minimum. It Is impossible to hasten decay with out the loss of ammonia. Lime might be added, for instance, which would be folly. I.and plaster might be added, which would lessen the loss of am monia to some extent, but would not prevent it entirely.—Professor Clinton D. Smith In Rural New Yorker. EJD«1ISII Cream Cbeeae. Very thick cream is poured carefully into a linen bag and this hung up. with a basin underneath to catch the whey, in a cool room or cellar. The air In the room must be pure, as the cream easily absorbs odors. When the whey Is part ly drained off, the bag Is twisted tight and bound so as to dry the curd more. Then, after twenty-four to forty-eight hours, according to temperature and the consistency of the cream, the "cheese" is ready to eat and may be molded as desired. This "English cream cheese" Is hardly cheese, as no rennet Is U6ed. Perhaps It should be called a "sour cream curd." UMu Treca. Even Uie trees in Geauga county, 0., are full of wealth. Dwight Hues and Mgrar Babes- of Huntsburg cut down an old elm tree duriug the first week of December In which were two coons, a swarm of bees and two pails of honey. The tree was also valuable for its timber.—Gardening. GARDEN HINTS The uncertain weather of March means constant watchfulness for the gardener in protecting the stuff that is growing under glass from frost. Cabbage and cauliflower planted last month should be transplanted when four leaves show. Trees, vines and bushes should be primed. Sixty to seventy degrees will do well for lettuce, cabbage and cauli flower under glass, but tomatoes pre fer 70 to 80 degrees. We no longer dread the harlequin bug on cabbage, for by taking time by the forelock and picking the first brood by hand In early spring there will not be enough left to do any harm. Okra Is by many considered a de sirable addition to the farmer's gar den, and It can be grown In almost any locallt'-. WHEN GAS WAS NEW. Proaiilent of first lumiiaay Made "Daring" EiiicrUucnt. Gas had as much difficulty iu making its way in New York city apparently as did the steel framed skyscraper. In each case It required a man who had tho courage of Ills convictions to prove that It was safe, but when once it was shown that the be ut tits were greater than the dangers gas and skyscrapers took their places as necessities. In the case of the skyscraper the designer had to convince the owner, who had be come somewhat fearful of the success of his venture beennsc of the com ments ot hie friends, by signing a lease for an office on the top floor for a long term of years. In the ca*e of gas, although It had been used tn London and other American cttles before it was Introduced into New York, Sam uel Leggett, the president of the corn pan)- that proposed to bring the much feared illmnluant into use here, had to prove its harmlessness In his own house. This was iu 1823. Ills heroism attracted a good deal of attention and proved to be u good ad vertisement, for hundreds If not thou sand;} of persons visited the house to see the lliumlnaut which was wald to be so much better than candies and fish oil lamps. The house wa» in the up town fashionable quarter of the city, on Cherry hill. It was at 7 Cherry street, only a few doors below the tig, square Franklin House, In which Pres ldeut Washington livod when New York was the capital, cud near the cel ebrated Cherry gardens. It was a nar row, three story and attic brick struc ture with two dormer windows. An abutment of the Brooklyn bridge now occupies the site. 8 tor lee of the explosive character ef [ gas had spread without the aid of a preas agent, and porsons hesitated about having the pipes run through their houses. They were willing to have some one else make the experi ment however, and curious enough to visit tho house of the venturesome one to see what happened. For the titno being all roads In the evening seemed to lead to Mr. Leggett's house. Groups j gathered outside In the darkened street to witness the process of "lighting up." j Many a couple from the other fashlon- able quarter, State street and the focrt of Broadway, gave up the evening walk along the Battery to wend their way up I'enrl street In tbe moonlight to 7 Cherry street to see the novelty. Thero were eager visitors from surrounding towns. Mr. wns not averse to showing people how much better gas was than any other form of lllumlnant by taking them through tho house. This fact, liecomlng known through out the city, added to the number of visitors, and not infrequently wh*n Mr. Leggett, basking In the light qt no toriety In his drawing room, saw facts peering in at him from the outer dark ness he would go to the door nnd In vite those without to come In. It was several years before the prejudice against gas could be altogether wiped nnt -New York Tribune. Soiue Old Hen. "After all, you know," said Mr. QJJ beau, "a man Is only as old aa ho feels"— "Yes," gakl Miss Pepprey, "but soma ' old men make the mistake of thinking I they are as young as they think they feel."—Philadelphia Press.

GLASS OF THE ANCI3NTS. The Blowers of Thebes Ware Hxperts Many Centuries Afo. The glassblowers of aucieut Thebes are known to have been as proficient in that particular art as is the most scientific craftsman of the same trade of tho present day after a lapse of forty centuries of so called "progress." They are well acquainted with the prt of staining glas« and are known to have produced that commodity In great prof union and perfection. Ros eelini gives an Illustration of a piece of stained glass known to be 4,000 years old, both in tint and design. In this case the color is struck through the vitrified structure, and he mentions de signs struck entirely in pieces from a half inch to three-quarters of an Inch thick, the color being perfectly incor porated with the structure of the piece and exactly the same on both the ob verse and reverse sides. The priests of Ptah at Memphis were adepts in the glassmaker's art, and not only did they have factories for manu facturing the common crystal variety, but they had learned the vitrifying of the different colors and the imitation of precious stones to perfection. Their imitations of the aaaethyst and of the various other colored gems were so true to nature that even now, after they have lain In the desert sands from 2,000 to 4,000 years, it takes-an expert to distinguish the genuine article from the spurious. It has been shown that, besides being experts In glassmaklng and glass coloring, they used the dia mond in cutting and engraving glass. In the British museum there Is a beau tiful piece of stAined glass, with an engraved emblazonment of the mon arch Tbothuies 111., who lived 3,400 years ago. THE ATMOSPHERE. First Attempt to Wel#k It Waa Made by Artatotle. If we are to believe both legend afti history, the first attempt to weigh alf was that made by Aristotle, tho great tfreek philosopher of the fifth century. Be first weighed on empty goatskin bag and then Inflated it and again pot It in the balances, and because he found no difference In weight under the two conditions announced to the World that air was a substance wholly Without weight. With modern laboratory apparatus most any high school scholar can dem onstrate the fact that a flask of ten cubic inches capacity weighs fully three grains more when filled with air than 14 does after being placed under the exhaoet of an air pump. The nu merous experiments that have been made en the weight of atr warrant the scientists to announcing that the weight ot tfce nfcoie terrestrial atntts phere is about equal to that of a solid copper ball sixty-two miles In diameter. The philosophers have also shown that the weight of the atmosphere must be United to where gravity overcomes the centrifugal force. If it were of equal density throughout its height above the earth, It could not extend a greater alti tude than 27,818 feet, which would leave about 1,200 feet of Mount Ever est sticking out above the atmosphere. It Is a well known fact, however, that air loses its weight and density as we ascend from the sea level, and calcula tions which have been made on that basis go to show that there may be a stratum of very thin air at a height of 21,000 miles. Tbt Use of (talslse. People who suffer with the liver and who get run down In nerve strength sometimes complain that quinine does them no good, says a physician. The reason ts this: When quinine passes Into the Intestine It Is acted on by the bile and forms with It a salt that Is soluble only in a great excess of bile, so it passes out of the system without entering the blood at all. To prevent this bilious persons ought to clear out the bile by a good liver pill or a saline purgative before the quinine Is taken. Even when the liver is not affected it is always best to take such medicines before using quinine. The Berth and Man Compared. If it were possible for a man to con struct a globe 800 feet In height—much less than twice the height of tho Wash ington monument—and to place upon any portion of Its surface an atom one four thousand three hundred and eight ieth of an inch in diameter and one one hundred and twentieth of an inch in height it would correctly denote the proportions man bears to the gigantic globe upon which be stands. FARM INTERESTS. Ctmnt Rtwi and Views of Agrleal tnral Mutter*. By H BENJAMIN, Jr., Washington. As estimated for Oct. 1 by the bu reau of statistics the coudttlou of corn showed a decline of .3 of a i>oint the figures being 80.2 as compared with 89.5 last month, 83.0 on Oct 1, 1904, SO.B at tho corresponding date in 1903 and a ten year average of 80.2. The preliminary estimate of the aver age yield por acre of spring whoat is 14.7 bushels (8.8 centals), subject to re vision when the tlnai estimate Is made in December. The average quality of spring wheat Is .89 as compared with 73.7 in 1904 and 80.5 iu 1903. Movement of Grain. Reports received by the department of commerce and labor indicate that I the total grain receipts at the ports of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore duriug August showed a gain of nearly 4,000,000 bushels if compared with similar arrivals tn 1904. I On the other hand, the Inbound cereal movement at New Orleans as well as at San Francisco and Tacoma present ed heavy losses by like comparisons. While Galveston's inbound grain move ment during August was heavily In excess of that for a corresponding month in the preceding year, it should be understood that during the latter period the movement was exceptionally small. lowa's Corn, i lowa's corn crop appears to be arous ing dissension among the authorities i who are estimating it Mr. Sage, the head of the crop reporting service for the state, is credited with forecasting a bumper crop, while Mr. Cowine, the reporter for the department of agrl- culture, makes a fur less optimistic es timate—not less than 300,000,000 bush els, says Mr. Sajre; probably under 300,000,000, declares Mr. Cowlne. John C-owlue Is a well kuown practi cal lowa farmer. lie Is also a mem ber of the board having control of all state institutions and is In charge of the nearly 20,000 acres of state land farmed at such institutions. J. K. Sage, though not In active farm life, has been connected with tho lowa crop and weather service for fifteen years past. Each secures Information through farmer correspondents all over the state. Professor llolden, so well known In eouiiection with the Improvement of corn, has called attention to the fact that a failure to give due weight to the damage done by the new pest iu the Mtutc—tho corn root worm—would tend to a too generous estimate. A Special Crop Industry- Among striking special crop develop ments is that of asparagus in Califor nia in the last ten years. Its district lies largely in the delta between Sac ramento, Stockton niul Port Costa and includes at present about 7,000 acres. Most of tho crop is canned, and tho process is said to be cToan and appe tizing, resulting in a healthful and d> ltrtoftfrtmjdmTT. 4 A Trite Saying. } I It Is a trite saying that no man {a stronger than his stomach.
