The motbud of management ou a fif teen aore farm that raises all the roughage for thirty heart of stoek, sev enteen of which are cows in milk, cannot fail to be of interest to fann ers In all parts of the country. The farm In question is situated in south eastern Pennsylvania, near a large city. About thirteen acres are in cul tivation, the remaining two acres be ing occupied by farm buildings, yard, etc. This farm came into the posses - j sion of tlie present owner (Rev. J. I). ! Detrlck, a minister -with no previous experience in farming), in 18S1, with a mortgage of S7,2ihj upon it. For the first year the farm lacked $46 of pay ing expenses. During the next six years the mortgage was paid. Systematic Management. Tlie writer has never seen another farm on which system is so pronounced a feature. Without referring to notes of any kind, the owner detailed the crops growing ou each small subdivi sion, the crops that had been grown on each for two to three years past and those that would be grown for as long in the future. In most cases the dates of seeding and harvesting were given. A |>eeuliar feature of the management is that each of the principal operations is performed on a fixed day each suc ceeding year or as near to it as the weather will permit. Not a pound of solid or liquid manure goes to waste on tlds farm, and the soil Is in such condition that it is more nearly inde pendent of weather conditions than any other soil the writer has ever seen. Torrential rains are soaked up in a very short time, so that the soil may he handled after a rain much sooner than that of adjacent farms. It is therefore not difficult to adhere ap proximately to a prearranged pro gramme. For instance, early corn for soiling is planted May 8; late corn for silage, June 22; grass seed, about Aug. 22, and so on. Products Sold. The farm is strictly a dairy farm, (he only products regularly sold being milk and a few head of young cattle each year. The cows are all register ed Jerseys, except one or two picked up at sales on neighboring farms. They are not only pure bred, but they are well bred. There is not a star boarder in the herd. Male calves, if worthy of it, are reared for breeding purposes, but none is ever vealed. If a male call' is not lit to raise for a breeder It is killed at birth. "It doesn't pay to feed SIS worth of milk to a calf that w ill sdl fjr SB," said the owner. The young cattle sold from this farm bring on au average SIOO apiece, and about live are Hold uach year. The milk Is sold at 25 cents a gallon tlx- year around to a state institution located two miles distant in a neighbor ing salrarb. Jt tests on the average 3.8 per cent. It will be seen that this is a very moderate price, considering the quality. The amouut of milk produced Is nearly the same at all seasons and averages about twenty-six gallons n day, or 4,800 pounds a year for each of tlie seventeen cows kept—not an enormous yield, but a good one. This gives an Income from milk of about $2,400 a year. The outlay for concen trated feeding stuiT Is about $025 a yea r. Okrn Culture. OUru can be produced on any good .4011, and the crop requires no special attention other than that which would ordinarily be given a crop of corn or cotton. I'lant early In the spring or as soon as all danger of frost has passed. Keep the pods well picked in order that tlie plants may not become ex hausted by the maturing of the seed, and the pods will continue to be pro duced until late in the fall. Do not cook the pods In plain Iron cooking utensils or in copper or brass, Kemember that tlio taste for tlie okra flavor has to be acquired by some per sons. The varieties of okra best adapted to general use are the dwarf green, long pod aud the lady linger CW'hlto Ixmlsl ana) types.—W. It. BeattJe. Two Seeding* of Clover. "Make two seeding* of clover, one how and the other in April. Don't for get to have one part alslkc to two of red clover. Do as we say this time," advises Farm Journal. POPULAR GARDENING Nitrate of soda aud kalnlt are some times used as a dressing for land be fore sowing seeds or setting plants likely to be attacked by the cutworm. Kalnit Is said to be especially good against the Insects Infesting onion beds. Most seed will admit of being sown Moderately thick, but It Is a mistake to sow too thickly, as the plants be come weak from overcrowding. Much time is lost In (binning out, and tlie grouud becomes Impoverished.

I 9bt very long ago, a pcptur aaraziso ' pnDilihed an editorial article In which J The writer averted. In substance, that all disease eha-.M bp regarded as criminal. Certain ft is, that much of the sickness and suffering of mankind is due to the violation of certain of Nature's laws. But to say that all sickness should be regarded as criminal, must appeal to every reasonable Individual as radically wrong. It would be harsh, unsympathetic, cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor, weak, over-worked housewife who sinks under the heavy load of household cares and burdens, and suffers from weak nesses, various displacements of pelvic organs and other derangements peculiar to her sex. FreQnent bearln* of children, with its ex acting demands upon the system, coupled with the care, worry and labor of rearing a largo family. Is often tho causo of weak r.esaos. derangement* and debility which are aggravated by tho many household cares, and the hard, and never-ending work which the mother Is called upon to perform. Dr. l'ierce. the maker of that world-famed rem edy for woman's peculiar weaknesses and Ills—Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription—says that one of the greatest obstacles tc the cure of this class of maladies Is the fact that tho poor, over-worked housewife can not get the . noeded rest from her many household cares ; and labor to enable her to secure from the ! use of his "Prescription " Its full benefits. It ! Is a matter of frequent experience, he says, I In his extensive practice In theso case*, to meet with thoso In which bis treatment falls by reason of the patient's Inability to abstain from hard work long euough to be cured. With those suffering from prolapsus, ante version and retroversion of tho uterus or other displacement of the womanly organs. It Is very necessary that. In addition to tak ing his "Favorite Prescription" they abstain from being very much, or for long periods, on their feet. All heavy llft'.ng or straining of any kind should also be avoided. As much out-door air as possible, with moderate, light exercise Is also very important. Let tho fiatlent observe these rules and thc"Favor te Prescription " will do tho rest.
