Cutting OG,he blossoms,

If one desires fresh-appearing and luxuriant
Towering plants, the blossoms must be removed
frequently. The process of Qualification will al
ways exert damaging and pernicious influence
on plants Hence roses must be cut off soon af-
ter they bloom, or the bushes will soon lose
their luxuriant appearance. There is perhaps no
one particular in which the professional horti-
culturist differs more widely from the mere ad-
mirer of flowers than in reducing the number of
blossoms and preventing them from going to
seed The chief mystery in the production of
what called ''orist's flowers" aside from the
exceptional care as to SOIL water, heat and light,
is in the matter of "pinching Off" Large, per
feet, double d overs have been almost invariably,
in the first instance obtained by unbesitatingly
sacrificing all but one or two buds on a plant.
The snowy specimens that take the prizes at
Horticultural exhibitions are almost invariably
the result of this process. 1t is not unusual to
see full-grown plant thus exhibited with only
one flower upon it, and that one magnificent.
There is never arv need for allowing more than
one or at the utmost two flowers to grow on
stalk in the cultivation of a great variety of
plants, which, if unchecked, produced on each
stalk half dozen flowers OF more. In the case
of many ANNALS, such as asters and candy-tuft,
pinching ont all the side blooms except one or
two at the top results in so marked an improve
ment that no one who has ever tried it will neg
lect it afterward.

fur the farmer.
sEPTEMBER HINTS.

Tn sentember the farmer begins to receive re-
turns for months of care and labor. He has
hitherto been casting bread upon the waters,
and now it returns after many days. His reward
= NOW in proportion to his faith. If he has be-
Ieyed in what he has read in these pages, in the
fruits of his own and others experiences, and in
tbe teachings of intelligence and common sense,
he has not been ehary OF hard work, constant at,
tention. and generous treatment of his land and
crons: he has fed his land, and his fields
will feed him in return. Now the farmer learns
that out of nothing, nothing comes. III he has
mt nothing upon his fields, his crop is poor. If,
on the other hand, he has well aud intelligently
fr,;I;zed and worked he finds in spite of sea
cons that he has barns full and the promise of
bor,,sst Is surely fulfilled 10 those who carefully
meet the requirements OF seed time. The better
the farmer the better the crops, and the risks of
seasoDs and unfayOrable weather, bring disaster
onIy 10 tbe farmer who neglects the precautions
nv which he may avoid them. Generally the
Fall wheat crop has yielded well, and has been
harvested cheapIy and in a good condition.
Tbere ia n good market for it. Crops in Europe
are NOT over an average, and there are vast de-
feieneies in stocks to be made up. Besides our
Snrinr crops will be deficient. Spring wheat is
a comparative failure in many places, and the
surplus of the Fall crop will be partly needed to
meet the deficiency. Oats and corn will be be-
low the average and hay is short in the West.
although plentiful in the East. Prices therefore
will be satisfactory on the whole, if grain is not
sacrificed, and there is no good reason why far
mers should nasten 10 put their grain into the
hands of spectators, that they may hold it for a
rise. The outlook is favorable to steady prices
if not to some advance. The agricultural fairs
are now in season. To attend the State and
County fairs, should be made a duty as it should
be pleasure. Every farmer should strive to be
a competitor at his local fair. We wish there
could be premiums offered for the best managed
farms here, as there are in England, and blowing
matches for farmers boys. Competition induces
study as well work, and it is thought and
study that we want. No farmer in the world
can farmer, or has fewer idle days But with
the increase of machinery, and the need of bet
ter farming, more study and knowledge are
needed. To give the best matter for study, and
the most Trustworthy knowledge, is the whole
purpose of the american AgricultHrist. And it is
our desire to reach every farmer in the country,
for we work for the whole country, and for no |
one section or locality alone.-AmericdR Asrical-

The ..,rericnn Sandman

This is the name of the pestiferous weed with
q bright yellow flower that is spreading so rap,
idly in this State. We have spoken of it several
times. The Council Grove Democrat says:
ave are pleased to see that many papers and
correspondents in the State are agitating the
question of exterminating the Mexican sandbur,
q kind of thistle which promises to become as
formidable foe to agriculture in this section as
the Canada thistle is further east. We have
noticed an increase every year in the growth
and extent of the pest and it is the duty of far
mers and all others to do all in their power to-
ward roofing it out If it cannot be done with
out, let the Legislature be invoked to provide
for its determination. An uninterrupted growth
of this sandbur for few years would ruin tie
rich pasturage of Morris Comfy. Let the grange
take hold of this matter let road overseers keep
them out of the highways let land owners Grad
icate them from their farms.

Apple DumpI;uu.,

Pare and thinly slice the apple; rub bntter ia
the hour, nearly enough for an ordinary pie
crust; mix little soda in some bnttermilk to
make it foam; more than this is injurious; now
moisten the crust as soft ordinary biscuit, roll
over once and repeat. Put in no more apples
than the crust will easily lap over on, and two
small dumplings are better than one large one,
as they are more easily got into bag, and take
less time in cooking. When the fruit is cooked
the pastry is done, and the time Of cooking must
be regulated accordingly. If you cook the fruit
before putting it in, half an hour is sufficient to
boil an ordinary sized dumping made in this
way, though in roll, from an hour and a half to
two hours is necessary. A good sauce to be eat
en- with apple dumplings is made as follows:-
To pint of boiling water add a good slice of
outter; half nutmeg grated, two tablespoon
luis OF -four, previously mixed in cold water, and
half teaspoonful of extract of lemon, with a
cofee-cup of white sugar; boil one minute.

Msefnl aud Curious.


In reply to the inquiry in the Caltirdtor wheth
er green tomatoes can be applied to any useful
purpose, may just state how they have beer
used in my mothers family for several years
past, and thought to be very good:
As late in the season as we can obtain suffi.
Gent quantity of ripe tomatoes and green ones
together, We make them into jam, by using two
parts OF tomatoes (after the skins have been tax
en- off) to one part of molasses or wet sugar, and
stewing them together till sufficiently done to
keeP-say an hour or more. If the weather
should be very warm after the jam is made, ii
may need heating over. We generally use more
ripe tomatoes than green ones in this way, as We
take part of the green ones for making sliced
pickles similar to the "Indian pickles" except
That we put with the sliced tomatoes nearly an
equal quantity Of cabbage cut fine, and use less
onion. For both jam and pickles we frequently
bitten.
Eiderberries are very good when dried, mixed
Win small quantity of dried currants or some
other fruit; In preparing them for use, they re-
qnire but little stewing, and should have a tea
spoonful of fiour moistened and stirred into them
ust before they are done, to thicken them a lit
tie: vinegar is sometimes used instead of sour
fruit, but it is not SO good.

To PRESERVE CRAB APPLEs.-Take off the
stem and core them with pen knife, without
cutting them open. Weigh pound of white su-
gar for each pound of prepared fruit; put it over
a moderate fire. When the sugar is all Dissolved
and hot, put the apples in; let them boil gently
until they are clear, then skim them out and
place them on fiat dishes. Boil the syrup until
1t is thick, put the fruit in whatever it is to be
Kept, ana when the syrup is cooled and settled,
pour it carefully over the fruit. Slices of lemon
boiled with the fruit may be considered an i'm
provement; one lemon is enough for several
pounds of fruit. Crab apples may be preserved
whole, with only half an inch of the stem on
of fruit.

APesiilent Weed-The Prickly Weed-What IL
is-A Dangerous Weed.

Editor Champion II see in your issue of Au-
gust 9TH, an article in regard to an obnoxious
weed growing in the railroad Centre" and ear
nestly requesting the street commissioners to use
their influence to eradicate it. This certainly is
step in the right direction. About 1910 the
Canadian thistle got start in the eastern part
of Ohio and increased to such an extent that it
became necessary for the Legislature to pass an
act compelling road overseers to keep them out
of the highways, and inflictng a penalty upon
land owners who allowed them to grow upon
their land
This weed you speak of is the regular old Mex
the thistle. If it is not checked it will greatly
damage the crops and grazing. hope this may
be urged on until the next Legislature will pass
a compulsory act to have it subdued.
This weed is certainly nuisance, and the only
way to get rid of it along the highway is to
make it the duty of the road overseers to have
it exterminated. The Colorado beetle lourishes
upop it.

A DUBUQUE medical student has come to grief
by reason of his remarkable technical knowledge.
The young woman to whom he was attached one
morning received the following note: "Dear An
geline, am sorry to inform you that in conse-
quence of a circumseribed simultaneous inflam-
nation, characterized by pointed pustular tu-
NOR suppuratlng IN the centre of a curunculus,
L am unable to enjoy the pleasure of YOUR com,
pany to the Hippodrome. Ever, dearest thine
Augustus" She read it; she rushed to his home
in agony of apprehension, and found that he had
only one of those things of which Job had so
many. When she returned home her sensible
mother told her that she had better drop that
erudite young man; if married, he would doubt
less beggar his family by buying Latin Diction-
aries and such. The maternal advice was fol-
lowed; and now A. suffers from something worse

PENNYRoYAL AND PoTAsH.-If mosquitoes or
other bloodsuckers infest our sIeepingi rooms at
night, we uncork a bottle of the oil of pennyroy-
al, and these animals leave in great haste. nor
VIII they return so long as the air is loaded with
the fumes of that aromatic herb. If rats enter
the cellar, little powdered potash, thrown in
their holes or mixed with meal and scattered in
their runways, never fails to drive them away,
Cayenne pepper will keep the buttery and store
room free from ants and cockroaches. If a mouse
makes an entrance into any part of your dwell

and stuff it into the hole, which can then he re.

How THEY PAY.-The Cedar Rapids Times
gives the following item, which is strong proof
that hog raising pays: LAST Spring, Mr.. J. ID.
Rider, farmer in this vicinity, selected twenty
one sows for breeding from his stock. From
these he raised one hundred and forty-fo pigs"
In October he sold the old stock for pork, for
which he received S46O, 035. He sold pigs to the
amount of S1.52041, and has thirteen left, which
he places at the low estimate of S169. Making
the aggregate receipts from these twenty-one
sows ll4O56 in one year and eight months
from the time they were Uttered, an average of
over s4O2 each. Sixteen of the pigs he sold when
quite small for 81 each. Mr.. Rider kept an ac-
count of the corn fed to these hogs. and finds
that it averaged him about sl.2O per bushel.
