Growing a Variety Of Crops.

THE leading staples which experience
has shown to be well adapted to various
sections will probably never be entirely
abandoned. The time will never come
when the Central Western States will
not grow immense amounts of Indian
corn, or when cotton will not be the
leading staple of the South. Whatever
changes are made will be in addition
and supplementary to the staples now
grown. Forty years ago wheat was not
only the chief bat almost the exclusive
staple of this part of Western New
York. Monroe County produced more
wheat in 1888 than any other county in
the United States, as shown by the cen.
sus of 1910. Other crops were grown
even then; but they were produced on
limited scale, and mainly for home
consumption. Now apples and other
fruits, potatoes, corn and coarse grains
and dairy products, form large share Of
the sales of Monroe County farmers
This county is still as eminent in agri
cultural products as it was forty years
ago. Its aggregate production is GER
tainly much more valuable now thar
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-04-24
then; but no single crop attracts attcn.

then; but no single crop attracts atten-
ton as wheat formerly did.
The tendency to diversified farming
is good one. 1t not only pays better,
but it requires more skill and FORE
thought. The culture of single staple
is apt to become a matter of routine,
and tends to repress activity of thought.
Flowing, sowing or planting, and har-
vesting become merely mechanical. In
regular, unchanging rotation of one
or two crops there is little chance for
skill or forethought. But the farmer
who grows variety of crops, who
adapts his rotation to the changed neces-
sites of each year, must keep his wits
about him and his hands and brain busy
if he would succeed. l think it also re-
quires harder work. The operations of
haying and harvesting in former days
occupied only small proportion of the
year. During this busy season extra
help was hired, and the work
was done by a larger number of men,
but at little greater expenditure of
labor for each one than now. Men
work as hard as they can in the hay and
harvest-feld at the present time, while
for all the rest of the year the farmer Of
to-day works harder with body as well
as brain than did the farmer of forty
or fifty years ago. There is no time
from early spring until late in the fall
which farmers can take for rest aud re-
creation without interfering with the
regular programme of farm work. /
am not sure that winters, even in our
northern ATTITUDES, will long be left for
rest. Some of our best farmers find
winter fattening of sheep and cattle full
as profitable as any thing they can do
in the summer, and those who succeed
best say that it is work which more than
any thing else demands their personal
care and attention. The ordinary farm
help can not be trusted, where so much
depends on regularity and close atten-
ton, as well as good judgment.
But it is not to be inferred that be-
cause modern farm work is a constant
hurry, it is therefore constant
drudgery. The variety of employment,
which keeps farmers always busy, fur
nishes also necessity for incessant &C
tivity of thought anu brain. Work needs
more thought, partly because it is not
so much in ruts, and partly because it
is done so largely by complicated ma
chinery, which requires careful and con-
slant supervision. The greater variety
of crops a farmer grows the more need
he has to plan and contrive SO as to bring
his work around at the proper time.
This thinking promotes intellectual &C.
tivity; and it is by this process that the
farmers of the present day are becom-
ing yearly more observant and thought.
full, while those who try to farm in the
old ruts are falling to the rear.-Wm. j.

Cure for Foot Rot in Sheep.

THE Ohio Farmer once gave this rem
edy for foot rot: Three parts pure
tar, one part pure white lead, two
ounces finely pulverized blue-stone to
one pint of above. Add one-fourth
ounce (fuid) nitric acid. While stir.
ring these add enough crude oil (unre.
fined ground oily to make a thin salve
Nitric acid will lose its strength, there.
fore compound but a small portion at
time-say one-fourth of pint. Sheep
should be yarded for the operation
while their feet are wet, if practicable,
as their hoofs can be readily cut Have
trough made with boards twelve or
fifteen inches wide and three or four
feet long on legs, so as to make the
trough about waist high. Place the
sheep with his back in the trough and
you are ready for the operation. Your
knifs should have a narrow blade and
very sharp, and on the effectual per-
formances of this all depends. If the
disease is in the first stage-viz if there
is merely an erosion and liberation of
the cuticle and flesh in the cleft
above the walls of the hoot
no pairing is necessary. But if the
liberation has established itself between
the hoof and the fleshy sole, the ulcer
ated parts, be they more or less extern
sive, must be entirely denuded of their
home covering, cost what it may of
time and care. 1t is better not to
wound the sole so as to cause it to
bleed, as the running blood will prevent
the application of the mediciue taking
effect. Apply the salve with a small
paddle, letting it extend up the cleft as
high as the bihux naval. Apply the
medicine to every sheep and every foot,
as you will never get rid of the disease
by doctoring only the diseased ones.
Keep the sheep you have doctored in a
dry place over night; then turn them
into the same pasture if you wish, as
the medicine will adhere to the feet I'M
til the virus has been washed off by the
grass. 1t is best to apply the medicine
two or three times, so as to be sure and
catch every one. Cleanse the sheds
thoroughly, as the virus might remain
in the dung and take effect after an in
definite length of time.

An Editors Dream.

HE fell asleep after time, and loi he
dreamed again. And it seemed to him
in vision that, having armed himself
with certain papers and books, he turned
his steps once more toward the place
and knocked at the gate.
Hello, is that you again?'' said Pc
ter. "What do you wishP''
"Let these persons again come forth, -
replied the editor, and Peter this time
made them all pass through the gate
and stand outside.
They came as before and uttered the
same cries as before.
"Why didn't you notice that big egg
l sent you?" yelled the first. -

"Why didn't you write up my soda
fountainP" cried the druggist.

other office" calmly replied the local
man. --
"Why did you write about old Tom
inson's hens and never speak of my

''Old Tomlinson paid for his adver-
Using and you didn't. Here's the bill, -
said the editor.
why did you spell my name wrong
in the programmed" groaned the local
talent.
"Take a look at this manuscript of
yours and see for yourself, said the ed
.5or, with grim smile. NV
The rest of the company yelled their
complaints in unison, and the editor
calmly sorted out series of bills for
unpaid subscriptions, and presented
each with one; and it was so that.
when they had received them, they ali
ore their hair and rushed violently
down steep place into the sea, and

How to Make Moss Baskets.

VERY beautiful baskets for holding
flowers can be made of the longer and
more feathery kinds of MOSES. We
have made them often, and never do
either garden or wild flowers look more
lovely than when clustered upon YER
dant border of that delicate and beau
tiful material, which by proper manage
ment may be made to preserve its fresh
ness and brilliancy for many months.
We will here give directions for their
manufacture. A light frame, of any
shape you like, should be made with
wire and covered with common PASTE
board or calico, and the moss, which
should first be well picked over and
cleansed from any bits of dirt or dead
leaves which may be hanging about it,
gathered into little tufts and sewed with
coarse needle and thread to the COW
ering, so as to clothe it thickly with q
close and compact coating, taking care
that the points of the moss are all OUT
ward. A long handle, made in the
same manner, should be attached to the
basket, and tin or other vessel, filled
with either wet sand or water, placed
within, to hold the flowers. By dipping
the whole structure into water once in
three or four days, its verdure and elias
ITCHY will be fully preserved, and a
block of wood, about an inch thick and
stained black or green, if placed under
the basket, will prevent all risk of dam
age to the table from moisture. To
make such baskets affords much pleas
ant, social amusement for children, who
will find constantly renewed pleasure
in varying their appearance.-Ftoral

The Dark Side of London Life.

On every corner are little street-stands
of eatables, very coarse, indigestible
eatables, such as little plates of boiled
t'winks,' picked from the shell, boiled
with reckless abundance of salt, and
eaten with vinegar, at penny per plate;
the crows and gulls could hardly relish
this food as the being but little lower

pie, pitched at you piping hot from a
tin box, with an underdone grease and
gravy-permeated undercrust, with top
crust and bottom crust rank enough to
finish the career of dozen delicate,
fashionable stomachs. Look at the eel
stew counter; childhood, barely able to
lift its bowl to the top, is there getting
its pennyworth for some drunken
mother; decrepid, feeble-looking men

An Indian Mesmerizer.

STRANGE stories come from In dia OF
the feats performed by native mes
merizer named BUM, whose magnetic
power would appear to be found quite
irresistible by the lower animals, upon
which he exclusively exerts it. He gives
seances, to which the public are invited
to bring all manner of ferocious and
untamable wild beasts, and holds them
with his glittering eye. in few Sec
onds they subside into condition of
cataleptic stiffness, from which they can
only be revived by certain passes which
he solemnly executes with his right
hand. A snake in state of violent IT.
ritation was brought to BUM by men
agerie proprietor, inclosed in wooden
cage. When deposited on the platform
it was writhing and Kissing fiercely.
BUM bent over the cage and fixed his
eye upon its occupant, gently waving
his hand over the serpent's restless head.
In less than minute the snake stretched
itself out, stiffened, and lay apparently
dead. BUM took it up and thrust sew
eral needles into its body, but it gave no
sign of life. A few passes then restored
it to its former angry activity. Suisse
quently savage dog, held in leash by
its owner, was broughtin, and, at Buni's
command, let loose upon him. AS it
was rushing toward him, bristling with
fury, he raised his hand, and in second
the fierce beast dropped upon its belly
as though stricken by lightning. It
seemed absolutely paralyzed by some
unknown agency, and was unable TO
move muscle until released from the
mesmerizer's spell by majestic wave
of his hand.
