DO STONES NOURIsH SoILs.-The
Philadelphia Farmers Market Club,
at the last meeting of its members, dis
carded the idea that stones dissemina-
ted fertilizing properties to soil. This
is in direct opposition to the views Of
scientists and indeed against the evi-
dence that fact brings to light. Ger
tain rock contains magnesia largely,
other stone is permeated with potash
The permanent fertility of knolls and
hills, from which loan is continually
washed, is attributed by DR. Leidy, to
the continual decomposition Of rock
The narrow valley of the Yosemite is
extremely fertile, yet the basin is COW
cred with a debris of granite that has
fallen from the face of the encircling
barriers of solid wall The Mercede
river is q creation mainly of SHOWS
from not very distant peaks. Its bed
being mostly rock it is not a carrier of
loan. This may oe said of many of
the extremely fertile canyons Of Colo
RADIO. Farmers are practical observ-
ers and generally up to the mark in
agricultural lore, but in this instance
we think they hit somewhat wide of
the mark

wiping each one. Heat sufficient vim
egar boiling hot, TO cover them, and

Farming in a Great Swami.

When the Erie railway was being co..
stTucted the engineers encOuutara5
vast morass in the town Of Chester \,
Y. 1t covered nearly 500 acres a.;
was filled with treacherOus quagr,i--I
and springs that were almost bottoJoIs-9
To construct a foundation for the rosS
bed of the railway across this ers..
swamp required the driving of piiss ..
the depth of one 100 feet, and the uss ~
hundreds of thousand loads of S.
and dirt. The building of the mile -
road necessary to cross the swami c,1l
ed for a greater outlay of money -
any five miles of the road between Pia5
mont and jersey City. The tract -
swamp was not considered worth a.
nominal tax collected from the ov-,s--
and for twenty years after the road yyss
built remained in its noisOme cOnditio-
the home of malaria and deadly fevers
Twenty years ago a farmer cOnceivs5
the idea of draining portion of tTs
tract and making it tillable soil Rr
ditching he reclaimed sixty acres II.
first acre he bought cost him 81. Wbar
it was found that the draining left as f,
soil the finest black muck, composed al
most entirely of vegetable mold. Tia
price advanced to S17 an acre. Afte-
the sixty acres were reclaimed the uriaz
still further increased. until TO-DAY y
high as 81. 600 has been paid for the ra
claimed land. The ruling price is s5Go
an acre. The great value of the Land
is owing to its extraordinary adaptabT
ity to the culture of onions. \ crop NJ
500 bushels Of onions to the acre is not
uncommon, and the GreycOurt onion
meadows are celebrated Throughout fle
country. About 300 acres are uuda-
cultivation this year. and the success N
the onion business in the meadows has
led to the reclaiming of similar lands n
other parts Of the country. until n Il
believed that the onion crop of ORANGE
comfy viii amount TO 900, 900 bushels
this year. The average price received
by OniOn-raisers is 81 a bushel. Tie
average yield is 300 bushels to the acre
The crop is almost invariably sold fr-
cash as soon as it is ready for market
and as it natures early in the season
the farmer is allowed abundant time m
keep his land in the condition uecesav
to its productiyeness.

RAISING PIGS.-The most import
ant thing for The swine breeder at this
season of the year is to get the great
est possible growth from his spring
pigs, There is no period in the life
Of the hog when so great a return for
the food consumed is possible as dur
ing the first six months and it is here
that the advantages of skillful feeding
are apparent. Unless great care be
taken the growth of the pig will be
seriously checked when it is from three
to five weeks old The milk of the
dam, which was ample to promote a
rapid growth in the litter of pigs dur
ing the first two or three weeks is not
sufficient to answer the demands of
of the same litter as they grow older
hence the pigs should early be taught
to look elsewhere for a part of their
sustenance This is an easy matter.
A little milk or nutritious food of any
kind, in liquid form, placed convent
emily by, where the pigs can have ac-
cess to it at all times, but beyond the
reach of the SOW, will soon do the
work, and it should be replenished
frequently through the day If this is
attended to there will be no "stunting''
of the pigs at this critical period, and
their growth will be uniform and rap.
id. A good clover pasture is a valu-
able adjunct and helps wonderfully.
The true secret of successful pork max
ing is to push the pig from the date
of birth until it is big enough for the
,,oorl-at. and tho earlier tho ana Of
which this point can be reached, the
greater is the return for the food con.
sumed
A slop made of corn and oats
ground in about equal parts. with g
little oil-meal added, makes the best
food for the SOW while sucking, tc
increase the flow of milk and this
with clover pasture and plenty of soak
ed corn during the summer, will pro
mote a rapid and healthy growth ot
the pigs.-Nat. Lire Stock journal

There ) no class OF the community
that 5 more affected 10y the condition
of highways than farmers. Upon
them are transported whatever surplus
products the farm affords, and upon
them the farmer depends for his op
portuni.ies to pass from one neighbor-
hood to another Now so far as the
transportation of heavy loads Is con-
cerned. the amount that can be trans-
ported bears direct proportion TO the
condition of the road bed and It's de
clivity: both of which may be combin-
ed to greatly reduce the load, or either
alone NAV be the means of measuring
the load that can easily pass along
without serious hindranees. Aside
from that class of obstacles which may
he properly considered as insurmount-
able. in ali cases roads should be I'M
proved N every possible direction and
by all practical means. Other things
being equal, the more firm the road
bed the better it is for travel and also
the better for conveying loads. But
very frequently the road passes over
such a variety Of soils, even in moder-
surface; wherever such cases occur
they can be amended by artificial
means, that is, if a portion should be
sandy, by the addition of little dry
or compact earth It's condition will be
so changed as to make it much harder
and better able to sustain load. At
mospheric conditions may also very
materially affect temporarily the sur
face of a travelled road, aside from
those changes occasioned by frost:
thus a clavev road which would be
rendered exceedingly muddy alter
severe shower would be very much
improved bv the use of said and gra-
vel Where the soil is inclined to
moisture, a partial system of under
drainage will not only prevent mud
at the time of showers, but will also
very much assist in maintaining q
good condition while the frost is COM
ing out in the spring, which otherwise
would render it impossible.
{ AS a general rule in the repair, say
/ ingnothing of the construction OF roads
too little regard is paid to the mater
/ ial employed; it is entirely wrong to
/ make use of vegetable matter that Is
subject to decay and change, for al
/ though when in dry state it may be
passable upon a road, when wet by
! means of rain and showers it occasions
slough holes of mud. 1t is better for
the farmer, and certainly much better
for the road, to have the sods grow
ing in the bitches conveyed to the
farmvard and used for composing,
rather than have them used in any re
pairs. Where It can be obtained un-
der ordinary circumstances, a graveily
loan will make a good average road
bed, and will become so compacted as
to form a comparatively hard and
smooth travelling path, and is the
material which should be used. 1t is
no uncommon thing to see upon {
much travelled road at some point {
short distance that is extremely bao
under nearly all circumstances anc
which remains the same year attel
year for want of an application of ;
few common sense ideas in the matte
of repairs-NetV England Farmer.
