The Lesson Of the DroutIl.

The regular agricultural contributor to
the New York Eusniag Post furnishes
late number of that paper with the fol-
lowing article concerning the drouth end
lis results.
"Never, in our farming experience,
have we gone through more severe
drouth. Although we were only four
weeks without rain, the heat was so in
tense, and the consequent demands on
vegetation for moisture so great, that they
suffered as We have never known them TO
snffer before. With ten acres of roses,
carnations and garden vegetables, raised
for market, and wide area for farming land
under the pl0w and Ia grass, we have had
varied opportunity to watch It's effect, and
to study its action under different circum.
stances, SO far as we can Judge from our
own experience, the only sovereign rene
dy ia abundant manuring, coupled with
drainage and cultivation. Ten ceres OF
corn on lard that hitherto has shown the
elect OF even a slight drouth, has grown
without inteImissiOD, ard seems almost to
have disregarded the unfavorabe W Gather.
Three years ago this field was o heavy
wet clay, that was putty in winter, and
bricks in summer During one part eff
the season the moisture excluded the sir,
and during the remainder it was so CON.
pac.ly baked that air could not enter T.
Two years ago il was thoroughly under.
drained with tiles four fee: deep and forty
feet apart, and the effect of this Is now
beginning TO be felt. Last fall it was very
heavily coated with very rich manure,
which lay on the surface all winter. This
season, just before planting time, the land
was plowed To septh of not more than
four or FIVE inches, and was subsidized So
deeply as possible, which, owing 20 the
unregenerated character of the soil, was
not more than four or Ave inches more.
The crop came up regularly and went off
rapidly from the word go The shallow
blowing kept the manure near the sur
face, and the soil turned up WAS probably
all permeated to q greater or less extent
by the soluble parts of the manure which
had been washed in by the rains, and
which had helped to develop very Wig
OrOus Sod By the time the drouth com
meDced, the roots had penetrated so deep
ly into the sod that they found sources of
moisture beyond the reach of the drouth
Constant horse hoeing and hand hoeing
had made the soil So loose that it was
easily penetrated by the moisture bearing
air, which gave up its water to the cooler
particles of the lower and shaded earth.
"The effect has been that while other
corn fields IN the neighborhood have suf-
fered severely from drouth, the growth on
this has been all that could be desired,
and the fruiting is even stronger than il
would be reasonable under any citcum-
stances to hope for.
although grass has been pinched TO a
minimum, roses have produced only min
iature buds, late potatoes have stood sill.
In their growth, cabbage and celery plants
have died in the seed bed, luxurisnt
tomato vines have ceased their growth,

of the grape shot, is an experience so far
out of the common as to deserve strong
and significant phrase. This experience
Goethe, it is known, resolved to undergo,
ar d therefore on one occasion placed him
self under fire during battle in the early
part of Napoleon's campaigns. In his
feelings, Goethe dwells most strongly on
the effect produced upon his visual organs.
He was a man OF great courage ana OF
powerful frame, and although his presence
of mind never deserted him, yet all exter-
nal objects appeared to him OF bright
red color, Just as if real fire had been
casting strong blaze upon the sur
rounding country. Again, presence OF
mind" in time of danger is quality de-
pendent not only upon moral, but also
upon physical strength, and the physical
requirements upon sudden strain have
been known to fail the very bravest men
Thus, st the siege of Burthorpe, in India
in 1927, the English troops were anxious
ly waiting the order to advance and
storm; al last, after tedious delays, the
order came suddenly, when the attention
of the soldiers had been entirely sb
s0rbed in the movements Of the other di
visions A sergeant of well known per

and forward, and then fall to the ground

THE Meiical Press Nondon) thus gives
directions about eating this e.culent, and
its reasons therefor:
"The cucumber is the favorite luxury
OF the working clsss-consumed with
great gustO, regardless CT consequence,
and chiefly eaten at tea or supper by them.
The cucumber found il the market is
generally obtained from plants forced il a
warm dry atmosphere. When the heat
of the day is greatest the plants axe

that, ii addition to the sSccbarina and nu-
tritIOuS elements entering into The ccmpO-

carelessness and incaution IL dressing and

Cutting Com Fodder.

a great objection on he part of many
farmers to saving corn fodder is the
amount Of hard work required iii cuttin e
ana feeding is out. This is q valid Objec-
ton, rs every one who has tried will
admit, for when green the stalks are
heavy with moisture, and when dry, al
hard to handle on account OF their bulk
and weight. But this year the prevailing
scarcely will render it advisable for farm
ers to disregard their own personal con-
veuience t. soale extent, in order to secure
the necessary amount OF fodder for their
stock. Nc matter how great the labor,
each farmer should provide for the neces-
sites OF his stock, and il he has sufficient
for his own use, his pecuniary interests
ant MS duty 10 the public should lead
him 10 provide as far as possible for the
deficiency CT others.
When It becomes necessary rSther than
optional, the irksOmeness Of the labor
Will be much relieved and when we once
get accustomed 10 the work and know the
best manner OF doing it, much of the diff
Guilty and inconvenience Will disappear.
Notwithstanding the character OF the
labor required, wo think it is true that in
no way can we secure better tOCd tor
stock at less cost, or with less labor.
When properly secured, that it makes the
best kidd of food, all win admit. After
harvesting the corn, which is the main
crop sought, we have larger amount oil
food 20 the acre than we can raise IN any
other way excepting in roots. At the
time for cutting the corn, the hurry OF the
seasons work is over, and help Is usually
cheaper and il consequently costs less to
harvest the crop.
Various methods of cutting and putting
up corn fodder are adopted by different
persons; that is the bests that will give
The beat protection 10 the stalks, with the
least handling. The one we have tried
and found as economical as any, we will
give for ;the information of those who
have had no experience in the matter.
When the corn is well glazed over the
cutting should be done as sooH as possible,
to avoid injury by frost. When the corn
is heavy aRd quite green, take from five to
seven rows for one row OF stocks. III the
corn is light, or is cut late in the season, a
larger number OF rows can be taken, but
it is not usually best TO carry far. Set the
stalks around hill on the centre row,
hraciDg equally from all sides, SO that the
| stock may stand firm. Bind the top OF
the stock with band made OF hay, grass
straw OF stalks, as most convenient. On
husking the corn, bind the stalks IN
smsll bundles. Ii they are 10 be
hauled to The stack yard, or barn
they should be secured rs soon as possible
but we have found it much more conven
| lent 10 feed them out near the field; thu!
saving time and handling. For this pur
pose stacS the stalks in small piles in the
field. TO 10 this, place three or four bun
dies horizontally on the dryest part of the
ground, making pile in height to CORES

The pictures Of Rosa Bonheur have

Cultivated Apple Trees.

A CORRESPONDENT in Montgomery
county, Pa, informs us that he can suc-
coed with his apple orchard in obtaining
a crop as we'll as any other field product
on lis farm. He commences his orchard
by selecting his trees himself in the nur-
sery, ne farmer selects his seed before
sowing; helps to take them up, as a
farmer secures his seed; hauls them home
late in the afternoon or evening; puts
them in where they are to be planted until
the next day has the ground prepared
beforehand and the holes dug; removes
and sets the trees as he needs them n the
most careful manner, applying two buck
cts Of water TO each tree-one when tie
hole is half filled up, the other when en-
tirely filed, leaving the ground around
the tree bowl-like. Stakes firmly mulch
es; waters occasionally; keeps all cattle
and hogs cut; and when the trees are a
few years planted, twice year, spring
aud fall, scrapes the trunk, scrubs it
severely with Cow urine gathered in q
tank from the stable, using about half q
bucket to each tree, and giving them 6
thorough examination 10 ferret out any
worms, etc. He says it is not nearly as
much labor as any other crop On TIE
farm.

Around this as base, set bundles of stalks
