II 10 somewhat surprising how people who
read the papers auo" themselves to be
neeced BY 6h"1pefa. Every thing that hVes
must have food. and the food OF these sharp
ers depends upon the EerdAncy OF our rural
population. It is their pockets that must and
do supply the needlul. But am pleased to
state that the readers Of TEE TRIBUNE suffer
very little, in comparison, from these depreda-
tors, either in the purchase Of worthless seeds
or plants, in the paying Of enormous prices,
or In downright swindles. Here Is u sample

A Veu-knoWn uee-Planter received letter
from pcEson in New York, st1tlng That he
could supply him with evcrg1ecna at reduced
rates and OF superior quality. Tho eFerGTeens
were ordered to be ehipped, payable Oh de-
livery in Chicago. and the names OF two
Of the best men OF tho city given for
reference, in fact, for whom the trees
we're to be planted. The response came that
Il 800 must be forwarded before shipment.
The next train found our t1ee-plautinc friend
On board. on his way, with the 81. 500 in his
pocket. On arriving at the homo OF the ex-
tensive nurse1yusn, he found that he was not
on1y not tho owner OF a nursery tree, but not
considered responsible for a dollar, and the
presumption was that the 1900 would have
been entirely Lost. The moral Of thia ia. ia
give all such strangers wide berth.
LAWN MOWER.
sH.. Od;n. III. : You cannot cut h;ch crass
with a lawn mower. You will have to cnt II

Swasd land should ba trench-ploved, esv for
the two burrows. seven inches deep, You
NAV plov that depth with one fur
row and use "shares harrow" as You
propose, but it will cos. you more labor than
the trench -plowing, and after ali not rs good
for tha crop. have threo or four acres OF
raw prairie, that has never been pastured, thus
prepared, and have worked it over with rid
ing cultivator, having been careful not to al

You cannot stop to harrow, you say, until
tho whole crop is in II you will give this haz-
rowing and rolling process one trial, you viii
never repeat that eeutence, for you will find
that you cannot AFFORD to dispense with the
narrowing and rolling.

c. T., Milton, ILL.,: so soon ss birds begin
to pull my corn, hiTe been in the habit Of
putting on tho cnltivator; this gives
them insects, and has proved remedy,
but since have been in the habit OF
narrowing and rolling just before the corn is
up, the birds have not troubled me in the
least.
