Lighting the Fire in a Stove.

Many persons have often noticed
the extreme difficulty encountered in
lighting the fire in a stove, especially
in a still, damp morning. The stove
at first won't draw; even vigorous
blowing will uot suffice; and then
when it does start it is with a sort OF
an explosion or outward rush of air,
which fills the room with smoke and
gas, oftentimes putting unpleasant
fumes in the face of the operator.
The trouble is caused by the diff
Guilty encountered ill overcoming the
inertia of the long column of air in
the pipe or chimney, by the small col
umn- or air that can be forced up
through the interstices of the wood
and coal, at the bottom of which the
fire is kindled. Ali this may be rem
edied by simply putting a few shavings
or bits Of dry paper on the top of the
wood or coal, and first lighting that
it Immediately bursts into a blaze, be,
cause the air has perfectly free access
to- It from all sides, tile heated air
forces its way into the chimney, and
establishes there an upward current
The match can then be applied to the
kindling under the fuel, which will
readily light, and if dry, burst into 6
brisk blaze Am, Rural Home.

The English Crops.


The North British Mail gives 6
statement in relation to the grain
crops from forty different points,
The following extracts will give an
idea of the status of the crops:
Gan agriculturist of fifty years
standing describes the state of his
wheat and corn as the worst in his ex-
perienee. He believes that it will be
neither fit for man nor beast. In the
whole parish the wheat crop is nearly
ruined The sprouting is such that in
certain places the sheaf is so inter
tWined that it does not require band
for support 'Wheat uncut is spout
ing in the stalk along continuance
of wet weather has done fearful injury
TO the crops" More disastrous har-
vest weather has not been experienced
hero for upwards of thirty years
Many farmers declare that this year
their farming will prove total fail
ure." etc, ETC.

FaIlowing to KIN weeds.

Z y
= y 1fsthefe IS field on the farm which
is so thoroughly infested with quack,
Canada thistles. or other foul weeds,
that its culture is unremunerative, or
If the soil is hard, and needs exposure
to the air and frosts to ameliorate it,
then it is a suitable subject for the
genuine following process. Ehls
Should begin early in the Fall with g
ploWing, to be followed Immediately
by narrowing, to induce as rank and
complete growth Of weeds as posi-
BILE. The next step is a second ploW-
ing just previous to the setting in OF
Winter, but when the soil is dry and
s-friable The narrowing should be
omitted after this second plowing, and
the surface of@the field should be left
as rough as possible, so that the frost
and air may penetrate the soil, and
take effect on whatever roots there
may be in it. This tilIage will give
the roots of the most vital weed q set
back from which they will not easily
recover. Next Spring, when the
ground becomes dry and in good con-
dition to work, the field sheuld be har-
rowed down smooth, and about the
first of June another and final plow-
ing given if. The cultivation subse-
quent to this must be done with the
cultivator and harrow, and so frequent
" that no Vegetation can struggle into
growth If the roots of quach
3 abound near the surface, a strong
toothed rake should be employed tc
bring them into heaps where they may
be burned. By raking and cultivatine
the surface to the depth of four ol
five inches, it can be completely clear
ed of roots, and fine tilth given th'
entire top soil. Roots buried deepei
than this will be smothered and thus
destroyed. An important point in thi!
tillage is, to do the work so thorough
ly during the second season that NJ
green blade can appear on the surfrce
In the Fall the field will be in fin
condition for crop of Winter grain
and the weeds will be effectually sub

TO Get Rid Of Fleas.

AT a late meeting of the N. 7.
Farmers Club, a member said thai
there are two or three substances that
a;e ;eobnoxious to the tlea, Ledoes notiike
tue smell of them, or they remind Lin
+ of something he does. notlike to think
about these are cafbolic acid and sui
phur. Ifyou want barn thoroughly
purged of weevill, or lice. or feas, the
bestway is to fumigatelit with sulphur
But if you whithwash all around the
stables and posts of the, yard with 9
whitewash made by adding carboliC
acid to the lime, it will drive off most Of
these pests. Washing an animal thus
infested, with carbOlic sOapsuds, will
give relief.
