And If the nesting song,

Wherein we walk together, very soon;

Some eager look half vain

These Bonds have sold, during the past
year, TO an extent unequaIled by those of
any other Corporation, and they have now
taken their place among the solid and ia
vOrite securities of the country.
This is because the Bonds based upon the
amplest security, being FIRST AND ONLY
MORTGAGE "upon the railroad franchises, nd
all the lands and property, and rights of property
real and personal in possession by the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, or which the said Gompa-
ny may hereafter acquire" The Land Grant of the
Northern Pacific Railroad will average over $4,000
to each rifle of road This land is capable OF
producing in abundance all the Fruits, Vegetables
and cereals of the Eastern or Middle States.
THE VALUE OF LAND GRANTS.
The average.price at which twenty ashland grant
railroads have thus far sold their lands is 7o4 per
acrethe highest average of any grant being $13 49,
and the lowest $3.O7. With few exceptions the av-
erage selling price has increased from year to year.
Thelands OF the Northern PacifcRoad are admitted
by all who have seen them to be better and more
saleabe than those of most other grants but sold
the general average of S7 per acre, they will yield
more than $161 per mile of road-ore than three
times the possible cost of construction and equip
ment; at the lowest average of any grant GOD
they will produce more than $4,000 per mile which
is 100000 per mile more than the company are allow

An Extensive Farmer.

The Pacific Rural Press says: As an in
dex to the extent of agricultural produc-
tons of our valley, we need onl y state
that we have one farmer in our midst,
whose bill of expense for the one item
of sacks alone, in which to sack his
crop of the present year, is estimated
to be upwards of $4,000. The unpre-
tending, plain citizen is John Mitchell,
Esq, Of our county (Napa), who has
sown to grain this present year, on his
own lands, 10000 acres. The question
naturally presents itself-is not Mr..
Mitchell the greatest wheat producer in
the world? If not, where is the man
who excels him? If there can be any
one individual farmer found who sur
passes him, we believe that next year
Mr.. Mitchell would go him many acres
better, as he has yet thousands of acres
in our valley uncultivated that will be
ready for the pillow.

How Easily Butter Ia SnOiled.

A farmers wife writes: "Of all the
products of the farm, blu ter is most
likely to be tainted by noxious odors
floating in the atmosphere. Our people
laid some veal in the cellar, from which
blood flowed out and was neglected until
it commenced to smell. The result was
that q jar which was then packed
smelled and tasted like spoiled beef.
Another lady reader observed that there
was pond of filthy, stagnant water a
few hundred feet from their house, from
which an offensive effluvium was borne
on the breeze directly to the milk-room
when the wind was in a certain direc-
ton. The result was that cream and
butter would taste like the disagreeable
odor coming from that pond, and when
the pond was drained we had no more
of the damaged butter"

A FARMER who cannot make a good

A PENNSYLVANIA farmer has found the
capital invested in draining to be re-

The experience of many fancy farmers

his cattle ate up his crops, and his hired
men a.e up his cattle.

A GREAT deal of poor American cheese

A SANDY farm is sometimes valuable
one; such one at Red Bank, n. j.,
was lately sold to the United States
Government for $4,000 on account of
the immense quantity Of sand it con-

that he had planted some land in locust

MONTANA claims to have produced the
largest crops of wheat ever harvested in
any country; oats, rye and barley yield
bountifully, and all varieties of grass
flourish surprisingly, while the crops of
roots of all kinds produce enormously.
AT bakersfield, Cal, an irrigating
ditch, eight miles long, twenty-four feet
wide, and three feet deep, was dug by
cooperative colony of farmers in six

Storing Farm Implements.

l went into Swamscot's Toulouse
Yesterday to get out of the rain. His
grass is cut. and he will have no further
use for his mower. The orthodox wsv
of doing with a mower, on many farms,
is to unhitch from it where the last hay
cutting is done, and leave it in the
field. Swamscot must be hereticl l
found his mower packed away in one
corner OF his Toulouse, as snugly as if
it had been there when the Toulouse
was built, and had never cut any grass.
noticed it had been thoroughly clean
ed and the bearings oiled. l rather
liked the idea 1 said so. Swamscot
said, "Whv, that's the way l make
money. I've used that mower six
summers, and it's a better mower to-
day than Joe Peet's that he bought last
year; his lay in the field until Novem-
Der, and was then put into an open
shed where the sheep ran and the hens
roasted 1t was nice looking object
this spring; and l know that he ex-
pended SIS upon it before he could
make it run. Why, sir, he never took
the sickle out of it from the time he
quit using it until he wanted to use it
again; nor did he oil it"
noticed the hoes, cultivators, har-
rows, plows, ETC., ETC., were all snugly
put away by Swamscot. L mention
these little things that you may know
why he has the reputation of being a
thrifty, thorough, liberal farmer. He
has more current literature on his
dining-room table evenings than most
literary men would care for; but you
ought to see his hired men 60 through
the papers and magazines And they
share the good things they read with
each other and the family and discus
the same with no small degree of il
telligence.-Cor Rural Nea0 Yorker.

Kidding Land of Stnmns.

In the fall, bore an inch or an inch
and a quarter hole, according to the
size of the stump, eighteen inches deep,
and put into it an ounce or an ounce
and halt of saltpeter; fill the hole with
water and plug it up. In the spring
take out the plug and put into the hole
half gill of kerosene and ignite it. 1t
will go on burning without any blaze
until the whole stump to the extremity
of the roots is consumed, leaving moth.
ing but ashes. The stump must be
moist; an old dry stump will not be
penetrated by the saltpeter.

Fowls as Ornaments on Grounds.

Fowls belong naturally on the lawns,
among shrubbery, and in the kitchen
and front garden. AS objects of beauty
in a landscape, some of the better type
of fowls should be kept. They are con-
sumers of insects, slugs, worms, etc.,
and can render the gardener great SER
vice if permitted to do so. They are
features of domestic life which no really
cultivated taste for rural pleasures will
forego. There is nothing unrefned, in
our judgment, in giving life to country
places by stocking them with the more
ornamental varieties of domestic fowls.

See to the Clover.

Mr. Curtis, before the Farmers Club,
says: Hogs can be wintered on clover
hay cut green, if steamed to a pulp,
without any meal or bran being added -
Cattle reducing this to a pulp by
mastication, get a similar effect. We
know leading farmers who keep their
diaries during the winter on clover hay
alone, or clover and cornstalks. This
till the cows are turned to grass, and
they 60 into pasture strong and in good
flesh, giving large yield Of milk at the
same time. This being a fact, as it is
demonstrated yearly, why are we feed
ing grain Simply because we neglect
or disregard early cutting, fearing we
cannot cure our hay in this early or
green stage. 1t is more an excuse than
anything else. Others do it, cut earl
and cure fair to well. Have the hay
capped, and there is no danger of spoil.
ing. Use the tedder freely, which will
expedite the drying. By cutting the
first crop (cloyer) early, when just in
blossom, the second crop may cut, and
in good time, leaving time enough for
an after growth for protection.
Here are two crops; and as clover can
be made to yield well with compare
lively little expense, we need not call
attention to the benefit derived in this
way. Plaster now, bushel to the acre,
and determine beforehand that you
will make the test and make it. If not
on a large scale, at least test it on
small. Have the hay caps ready; there
is time for that now. What we need is
testing, and testing fairly. If the best
farmers are reaping advantage here,
why may we not all have it? Clover is
the farmers plant Of profit. Those en-
gaging earliest il it, fully, will get the
most of the qeneft.-Cor. Utica Herald.

Converting Weeds into Manure.

A ready method of utilizing weeds
and garden refuse so as to convert them
speedily into valuable manure consists
IN laying them in a trench in successive
layers, with unslaked lime between, and
then covering the whole with earth.
Inc mass will be rapidly converted into
an excellent manure, and the additional
percentage of lime will also have its i'm.
