The Elm and Maple.
Scientific Earme

The elm, beautiful as it is for road
side tree, and to shade the homestead, is
obnoxious agriculturally The roots ex-
tend as far certainly as the tree is high
and rob all other plants within this dis
lance of the food they need. See that
row of elms along the boundry wall,
with the cornfeld on the other side. In
the influence of the trees, though not
shaded by them, the corn will be found
smaller than further on; and, during a
dry time, the crop is seen to shrivel all
which go to show what a feeder and
drinker the elm is. 1t requires liberal
manuring to get good moving within
forty feet Of this tree.
The maple seems only to injure by
it's shade. The roots do not apparently
extend far, nor do they occasion other
plants to want, to any great degree,
either food or water, and they can be
successfully grown in close vicinity.
Not to speak Of this tree as sugar
maker, it IS on other accounts the far
mer 5 tree beyond others, and should be
his favorite, For cities we commend
the elm. Its habit Of growth raises its
branches high in the air and allows of
circulation of air, and leaves an unob-
structcd view for considerable space
in height and breadth up and down the
avenue. While it's leafy bowers give
ample shade by day, it is yet not so close
as to shut out all rays Of the moon by
night, and SO unduly darken the avenue.
The network Of roots filling the ground
below makes the roadway drier, and
consumes the filth always settling in
the city soil, leaving it more wholesome.
The village, with its more open streets
and larger spaces, gives ample room for
the maple, which does not fill its front
yards with roots to the exclusion of
others-a tree which ''lives and let live"
whereas the elm is grasping, and knows
nothing but selfshness.

Iowa's yield of corn is estimated at
250, 100000 bushels, against 1917, 100000
in 1877.
During the first six months of the
current year $15 900, 600 worth of cattle,
sheep and swine were imported to
England
There is great increase in attend
ance at the Western Agricultural Fairs
this fall, the figures running up to co.
600 a week at Toledo, and $4,000 at St.
Paul.
One hog, kept at the age Of one year,
it furnished with suitable material, will
convert a cart-load per month into a
fertilizer which will produce a good
crop of corn.
A great number of weeds are now
maturing seeds, and every weed about
fence-rows, in fields, or about barns,
and in hooks and corners, should be cut
now and burned.
A few gallons Of gas tar to barrel of
water, applied with garden sprinkler,
repeating as often as necessary, is said
to be destructive to vine bugs, cabbage
worms, and Colorado beetles.
The largest strawberry farm in the
world is probably that of John r..
Young, about two miles from Norfolk,
Va. It comprises about 26O acres.
The yield last year was 1000 quarts to
the acre.
The Minot Corner (Me) corn factory
has put up about 225,000 cans of corn
this season. The farmers receive three
cents per can, aid this season the corn
produces at a rate rather in excess of
$50 an acre.
Norwich, VT. claims the largest elm
in New England, the spread of it's top
being one hundred and ten feet, and the
circumference of the trunk, three feet
above the ground, eighteen feet and
seven inches.
A Logan county Nll.) farmer has sent
to President Hayes, what he calls "a
sample apple" that was grown in his
county. The apple is seventeen and a
half inches in circumference, and of the
Clamps mammoth" variety
If small quantity of kerosene oil be
poured into the heart of burdocks, d.
rectly after cutting, they will disappear
entirely, roots and stalks, leaving no
trace of their existence save a small
hole in the earth where they stood.
The rice crop of this country is the
largest for ten or twelve years, and will
approach 100000 barrels. Such a crop
will naturally depress prices, and it is
quite probable that it will be marketed
even as low as five cents per pound at
wholesale.
The Cuban plan of driving cows from
door to door and milking the quantity
the consumer requires, has advantages
over the cart, can, and quart dipper of
the milkman of our own cities. The
consumer knows he gets pure milk, in
stead of chalk and water.

Miscellaneous RecipeS.

From Ransom's Family Recipe noot.
To remove grease or smoky spots
from woodwork before painting, wash
the parts with saltpetre, or very thin
lime whitewash. If soap-suds are used,
they must be washed off thoroughly, as
they prevent the paint from drying
hard.
A very nice whitewash is made with
four pounds of whiting and two ounces
of glue; stand the glue in cold water
over night; mix whiting with cold wa
ter; heat the glue until dissolved, and
pour it hot into the former Make of
the consistency to apply with common
whitewash brush.
To cleanse and bleach tallow, dissolve
five pounds of alum in ten gallons of
water, by boiling, and when it is all dis
solved add tallow, twenty pounds CON
tinue the boiling for an hour, constantly
stirring and skimming. When sufficient
ly cool to allow it, strain through thick
muslin, then set aside to harden; when
taken from the water, lay it aside for
short time to drip.
TO measure corn in the crib. Two
cubic feet Of sound, dry corn in the ear
will make bushel of shellcd corn. TO
get the quantity of shelled corn in
crib Of corn in the ear, measure length,
breadth and height of corn crib, inside
the rail: multiply first by second and
product by the third; divide result by
two giving bushels of shelled corn
Corn shrinks much in winter and spring
and settles down
Antidotes to poison. any poison
swallow instantly glass of cold water
with a heaping teaspoonful OF common
salt and one Of ground mustard stirred
in. This is speedy emetic. When it
has acted, swallow the whites of two raw
eggs. If you have taken corrosive sub
Innate take half dozen raw eggs be-
sides the emetic. If laudanum, a cup
of very strong coffee If arsenic, first
the emetic, then half cup of sweet oil
or melted lard.
To remove ink stains While they are
yet wet upon the carpet, sponge them
with skim milk thoroughly Then wash
out the milk with a clean sponge dipped
again and again in fair water, cold. Ex-
change this presently for warm; then
rub dry with cloth. If the stain is up
on any article of clothing, or table, or
bed linen, wash in the milk well, after
ward in the water. Dry ink stains can
be removed from wire cloth by oxolic
acid, or lemon juice and salt.

Ventilating Cellars.

We have more than once referred to
the great importance OF having cellars
properly constructed. The truth is,
these indispensable convenicnces are en-
tircly too much neglected. They sell
dom have sufficient ventilation, their
bottoms or floors are uneven. frequently
have water standing in them, and often
are allowed to be in a filthy and I'M
healthy condition. A contemporary
says: "The best way to secure yentila-
ton is to have communication be-
tween the cellar and the chimney, by
means OF pipe or other opening
Windows on two sides of a cellar afford
an excellent ventilation. We don't agree
with it, however, that cellars should
have mortar bottoms. They will not ex-
clude the rats, as it supposes. These
pests are sure to get almost anywhere
if they are intent upon it, A perfectly
smooth, hard earth bottom can be kept
as clearly, and will look as well as any
other, and is in many respects better
than cement There is but little damp
ness arises from what is known as dry
cellar, and not enough to affect the rest
of the premises. Adds our contempo-
rary: Generally cellar should be
darkened in the winter. The usual way
is to bank up the windows with tanbark,
dirt or straw. A good wall ought to be
made so that the cellar needs no bank
ing. The windows should be double,
and, to keep out the light, have shutters
on the inside, which can be removed at
pleasure In this way you can regulate
the light as you desire. This is very
well, but cellar needs ventilation in
winter as much almost as in summer,
and the way to secure it is to leave the
outside door open daily from II to OF
2 o'clock, when the weather is not too
severe to admit of it. Drainage should
be secured by all means. When posi-
Bile, drain should lead out to spot
where the ground is sufficiently low for
the purpose. Otherwise, should the

Carrots for Horses.

At Cornell University they have been
feeding their work teams literally with
carrots the present winter, and the ex-
pertinent has proved this crop to be one
of essential value for feeding to horses.
One bushel of carrots and one bushel of
oats, fed in alternate meals, are Of equal
value with two bushels of oats alone
and they can be grown at much less ex-
pense Henceforth carrots will profita-
bly, replace one-half the oats we have
fed. Horses, like human beings, require
a variety of food, and thrive best upon
ration that involves a change of diet.
Succulent food, in part, will always prove
beneficial, and this is the best afforded
by carrots.-American Farmer.

The n. Z. "Enralr on LIGHT,

The worst enemy of the ignorant
is light. II we could get them all
into one place and illuminate them.
they would hide forever after whpre
no more light could ever again reach
them. 1t only needed light to send
Tweed and many like him to prison.
and it only needs more light TO send
a thousand more there with him. God
said, at Creation, "Let there be light
and light was" There was no more
darkness then, and there will be no
more darkness now, if we can get
more light upon what is obscurely
seen or known. IL wish some senator
would shed a little more light upon
that sub bject," was arccent remark in
Congress at Washington. The speak
er did not know that he had repeated
the wish of all the age.
There is light enough. We need
no more. But we do need more men
who will not presisC in going round
in this midday of civilization with
their eyes shut dec. ring that it is
midnight. We need more who are
willing to come out into the bright
sunshine and let the world see exact.
ly how they really look. We all like
dead men better if they remain quiet.
1t is quite repulsive when they pre-
sist in getting up ont of their coffin
and appearing in public. But in the
sunshine we are always certain never
to meet dead men. They hate its scar.
ching rays. 1t reveals their condition.
Live men love the light. In it they
are sure to meet other live men and
it is good company. Let us open the
doors and windows of our schools
and let the blessed light in. 1t will
search out all sham and cobwebs. all
dust and mouldiness and let the
world see exactly in what condition
we are. We want to open Ill the
books in our schools ane let the light
pour in upon their pages. 1t will be
astonishing how many things we shall
find there, we never saw before. We
want our system of education to see
