ture of sugar from beets needs some
delicate chemical processes to get rid
of the salts, which interfere with the
extraction of the sugar. 1t is this diff
ficulty which has hitherto caused many
failures in beet sugar making. and in q
small way it would prohibit the domes-
tic manufacture altogether. For sweets
for home use, that can be produced
upon the farm, there is nothing better
than syrup from sorghum. This can
be made in small way as easily as
maple sugar.

SooT AS A GARDEN FERrILIzER.-Per-
haps it may have occurred to some of
our lady friends that the refuse SCOT of
our chimneys is one of the most valua-
BILE stimulants and fertilizers they can
have for their garden flowers. The fol-
lowing incident of practical experience
is from lady contributor to an e1-
change: "During two seasons we
nursed, fed and petted the Hartford
prolific grape vine-as much for its
shade over the window as for its fruit
but it persisted in remaining a stunted
cane, yellow, and refusing to climb.
Despairing a shade, grapes and roses,
we finally bethought ourselves of SCOT
as a manure, and forwith made "soot
tea" by sleeping a teacup of SCOT in a
quart of water. This We administered,
two doses each, to both the trees and
vine. The vine grew six feet in height
in the space of six weeks, and the rose
bush four feet in the same length of
time-both therefore rejoiced in living
green.

The Way to Put Up Wool for Market.

"A great many farmers actually lose
from one to ten cents per pound on their
wool simply because the tleeccs are not
put up in d neat and marketable manner
Dealers cannot be deceived. A purchaser
who buys large quantities of wool, betl,
in Michigan and Ohio, every year, says
that bic, can. afford to give two or three
cents per pound more for the woods he
buys in Ohio than those he purchases in
Michigan, solely because of the difference
in the tying up in the two States, as he
can get more in tile Eastern market for
woods that are put up in Ohio than he can
get for the Michigan wool, when, in fact,
the Michigan woods are sometimes the
best in quality. The proper way, he says,
to do up wool is to lay the fleece on the
table, turn in the head and tail, and turn
in the TANKS and roll it up, commencing
at the tail end, tying it with two strings
to keep the roll in place, and then with
one string across the ends. This is suf
ficient., A fleece thus tied is light, easily
handled. and examined, and can be felt oil
through. 1t does not require a thorough
examination to determine whether there
is anything in it that is not wool.
The. wool buyers prefer, to have the
fleece loose, light to handle and elastic.
In Ohio, the woods of which State arc
always, quoted from two to three cents
higher than Michigan woods of the same
quality, the fleeces are rolled up, not
packed, and tied across twice one way and
once the other, according5to the custom in
Michigan. Hence the tieeces are loose
light and elastic. When buyer of wool
apprehends that there are taglocks and
sweepings in the fleeces you can rest as.

The present season has been untoward
so far for hay-making. If the weather
continue bad-and there is a strong prob
ability that it may do so-a careful study
fthe weather and the means at hand will
alone enable the provident farmer to get
his hay together in good c0nditfon. The
best advice we can give in this instance,
and the plan which we have followed sat.
isfactorily, is to cut the" grass in Ibad
weather, and cure it and house it as fast
as possible when the weather is drying.
One thing in this connection is we'll
worth remembering: If hay is rather
green from its own sap, and is put into
moderate-sized heaps, it will cure and
come out in good condition with little
airing before stacking, even though it may
show considerable heat; but if wet from,
dew or rain it becomes musty and bad.

Clean Culture.

Every farmer knows the importance of
clean cultivation where the growth of
weeds interferes directly with the yield Of
crops; yet many farmers, who as a rule
secure good crops at considerable expense,
allow weeds OF all kindssto trespass upon
ground used, as turning rows, fence cor
ners, ETC., which scatter their seeds in
every direction, requiring the farmer each
year to expend additional labor above
what otherwise would be required to hold
his own with them.
As the land grows older the danger of
cised in keeping up the fertility of the
soil and in destroying. weeds in whatever
quarter they may present themselves.
Along hedges large enough to- be beyond
the need Of cultivation, and other fences
too, strip wide enough for turning row
should be devoted to grass. In this way
the dirt in blowing may be thrown from
the fence as often as in the opposite di-
rection without difficulty, and not only
adds wonderfully to the convenience but
to the artistic appearance of the fields.
All these unsightly patches so often seen
about farm, doing so much damage, and
bringing nothing in return, may be occu-
pied in some way to advantage without
much labor. A grove may be planted, a
few shrubs and flowers, or some of the
small fruits may be cultivated to advan-
tage If time will not admit of these
things scatter upon the surface; plenty
of grass seed and it will take care of it.
self.
Some weeds are so prolific in their seed:
bearing capacity that the ground becomes
full of the little germs which remain hid
den in the earth for years, to spring up
and choke the growing crops whenever
the conditions are favorable. To prevent
this, farmers should not even allow such
to grow along the roadside.
Early and thorough cultivation of the
corn crop, thick seeding of small grain,
early fall blowing before the weed seeds
mature, are all valuable aids to clean cul-
tivation.-Western Rural.

bill all funds heretofore available for pay

Treasury. Included in this discharge are
some forty females. The scenes and Incl

in others. The tears Of the "weaker Yes
scls'' are lost in the ludicrous attempts OF
money brokers to collect advances they
have made to those numbered among the

rushing in after discovering that one of his
customers had been dropped. He first

arranged, and was told to go where there
was less humidity than there is in Wash

It seems, from the remarks dropped by
those discharged, thst emany, too many,
have lived above their Incomes, and it is a
problem with them how, now to. soothe
irate landladies and washerwomen: Other
sanguine ones, instead of brooding over
their troubles, present or prospective, have
gone to work to get back. The telegraph

Hay.Making.

There is so great a4diversity of opinion
on the subject of ay-making that it seems
singular that farmers should not more
carefully study the questions connected
Herewith: and yet it is undoubtedly true
that not one farmer in ten can give the
reasoH. Why lie cuts his hay just as the
last Of it IS going out of blossom, or cuts
it when nearly ripe; for there are those
who practice and sst0ltly maintain that
either of these plans is BEST -
The real facts in the case are, the OF
iganic materiR1s in the hay are not T2fssen-
TALLY different in quantity, cut in the two
seasons we have mentioned; but the di-'
gestibility of the two products is very es-
sentially different. Careful experiments
have shown that the early-cut hay is di-
gested and assimilatedA to the extent OF
from IL to 20 per cent. more than the Late
hay, other things being equal. %. 7
Many city stablemen prefer hay cut
when tolerably ripe, from the fact that
they can better afford to feed grain than
hay, for the reason that it is generally
cheaper, and Therefore feed only so. much
hay as is necessary aSd iviezthe grain and
properly distend the stomachs of their
horses. When the hay is to be fed on the
farm and especially when it is to be fed
to cattle, there is no doubt that early-cut
grass is far more economical than that al

into hay. NJ ="
