EARTH AS :his material exists in very linz
tied quantities, even in the best OF soils, the
farmer will readily understand how bone
meal restores his exhausted wheat fields.
In our prairie soils there is scarcely any
source of supply in their mineral compost
ton, to replenish this waste; and much Of
our timbered land may be placed in the
same class. Glover penetrates the subsoil
with its long roots and brings up tempo
rary supply of phosphates, but ultimately
this exhausts the subsoil and the land will
become ''clover sick" and bone earth must
be supplied. Much of the good effect of old
stable manure is to be credited to its large
per cent of phosphates. Besides the phos-
pilates, there is in the ash OF an acre of
wheat, 235 pounds of potash. The straw
contains about 20 pounds of this alkali, but
as this should be returned to the soil, we do
not take it into the account. Rest, win to
some extent restore this by decomposition
in the soil.--Indiana Farmer.

den. Avoid the too common mistake of
sowing the seed too thickly thereby crowd
ing the plants, and causing them to grow
tall and slender. A half dozen good, stocky
plants will give more fruit and much earlier,
than several dozen poor, spindling, sickly
ones. small flower pot six inches in di-
ameter, is large enough to start two or three
dozen plants of one sort; and when they
are two or three inches high transplant in
two boxes or larger pots, giving each plant
room to grow. If they grow too tall and
slender, pinch off the upper portion of the
stem, and this will cause them to grow
stocky. Always keep the plants where
they will receive the direct rays Of the sun
during the greater part of the day. With
but little care and tr iiing expense, every
family can raise all the early vegetable
plants required World.

NOTES ON FARMING.

That part OF a crop which is taken from
the soil is represented in the ashes remain
ing after the same has been burned We
find this differing in different crops, and in
different parts of the same crop A ton
1000 pounds-of wheat carefully burned
will leave 2S.24 pounds of ash, while a ton
OF wheat straw will leave G013 pounds, and
ton OF chaff 1907 pounds. Now, of this
267 pounds of mineral matter taken from
che soil, all but 28} pounds will, in good
farming be returned TO the fields. We may
then disregard the ashes of the straw and
chat1, and contine our calculations to the
loss from the grain alone. Now crop of
% bushels will weigh | 800 pounds, or three
fourths of a ton, which would give 2l.1S
pounds as the loss per acre. This amount,
compared with the soil of an acre, appears
very small; but when we look at the 60 NJ
position of this ash the subject puts on
quite different aspect. Of this amount 15a
pounds consists of phosphoric acid in combi-
nation with bases-chiefly lime and magne-
sia. In round numbers, we may say that
every hundred bushels of wheat sold, car
ries away from the farm 60 pounds of bone

cents for paint and oil. The old irons an
swered and thus he turned out new har-
row at an insignificant cost and without
consuming valuable time. This is only one
instance. This same young man has just
completed a tobacco press at a cost of about
two dollars and half equal in every respect
to one rec ntly purchased by a neighbor at
a cost of ten dollars. When boy he was
often reproved by his father for spending
so much time "puttering' in the shop.
Now, however, the stern parent recognizes
his ability, and he is often called from the
farm work, to the shop, to do something
that requires his skill. think il should be
part of the education of every farmers
son to learn how to use mechanics tools
enough so that he may be able to get along
with the common wants of his business
without depending on others. 1t will in
crease his Independence, and help him to
make money. There is no danger that he
will learn anything that will harm him in
his workshop. Ii he prefers mechanical
work to farming, he should not be reproved
for it. 1t is not the extreme that leads to
danger. If he is restless and desires to leave
home tor some more genteel occupation in
the city, that is another question. But a
trade we'll mastered, is an advantage to ev-
cry man. and it would be poor policy to
spoil good carpenter, or machnist, to
make poor farmer.-Cor. El,aira Hus-

DO VARIETIES WEAR OUT!

One OF our leading scientific men some
time ago wrote an essay on this subject, and
concluded that there is no reason to believe
they do but somehow in every variety OF
farm and garden product new kinds are
continually being introaneea, and we sup
pose the old ones die or wear out, or in
some mysterious way disappear, which is
the same to us as if they died or wore away.
Take early tomatoes forexample. There
has been hardly year in our long life that
new varietis have not been introduced with
a reputation OF being earlier than any exist
ing. Once in awhile the reputation has
been made in advance OF the facts, but
in large number of cases the facts were
undeniable-the varieties were earlier than
any known. Yet at this day the average to-
mato is no earlier than it was fifty years
ago. Then in these parts it was consider
ed pretty good work to get good dish of
tomatoes by the fourth of July by any ordi-
nary garden culture, and it is so yet. The
man who can get anything worth while
from even his earliest varieties by the end
of June is a fortunate fellow. Now, what
are we to judge from all this. 1t is not that
these early varieties are frauds-we all
know it is not so !; it can only be that these
varieties in that particular respect that
gives them value to us wear out. or in some
way go back on us. 1t is the same with
peas, potatoes, wheat, oats and many
things. New ones are continually coming
up, all supposed to be better in some re-
spects than any now existing, and indeed
they in most cases are. yet it is equally clear
that on the whole there is not much gain
oyer the varieties popular fifty years ago.
We seem to be gaining all the time, but is
it not rather because the old kinds deterio-
rate? The whole experience seems like the
ancient treadmill. We keep stepping up
and up, but do not get farther ahead, be-
cause the wheel is going back against us.
lie is perhaps as well that varieties do thus
wear out. 1t keeps us active. 1t is like the
war against weeds i'll our garden and farm
crops. The crops require culture, but in
many cases they would get little only for
the weeds, and hence the soil is stirred and
the main crop is benefited. 1t is we'll to
know that varieties will wear out, then our
energies are bent to keeping up the grade.
1t is benefit all round.-Ge,neantoqgu Tele-

stock o. all kinds kept away from the or
chard. TO plant the young orchard, plow
the land. and ut budding time when the
trees have arrived lay out the land in rows,
making holes for the trees l6 to 20 feet
apart. The holes for ordinary trees should
be 2 IT, in diameter and about 1SiMches deep.
Pour water in the holes and mix soil with
it, working it until soft enough for brick
mortar, filling it to within 6 inches OF the
top of the ground. Push the tree down in
to the mud. strengthening the roots as much
as possible. Fill the hole around the tree
with soil, heaping up several inches above
the surface. If where the wind has fair
sweep, it will be necessary to drive down
stakes and tie the trees to them. Our OBJ
servations lead us to the conclusion that
this is essentially necessary. If not secured
the wind moves them about, pulling the
roots until they become loosened, dried and
lieless,

HOW TO GROW THE OUNCE.

l occasionally read that to grow the
ounce, and cause it to bear good crops, it
should be pruned to one single stem, and
carefully thinned in the pruning of the top.
Now such practice has in the course of my
observation, resulted, nine times out of ten.
in complete failure, the borer destroying,
ere the cultjvator saw the single trunk, or
blight gave its death blow. The ounce be-
inc naturally bush, if so grown, and per-
mitted to throw up three or four stems,
crooked and irregular, with only taking
out or shortening occasionally of cross
shoots, for the first two or three years, it
bears good crops, and needs no culture, af-
ter once established, except to permit the
grass or weeds that surround it to remain
there and decay, and to dress annually with
quantity of salt.
The twig blighs and the stem blight are
both enemies OF the ounce; but no remedy
have ever found, except my knife, with
which | cut away the diseased parts as soon
as seen. have grown ounces for crop
over thirty years. and was bred to their
management in my fathers grounds, and |
have always found good results, after few
years, when the grower attempted the SIN

GREAT many of our Montana farmers
have given orders for fruit trees, and early
spring will find them undertaking new
branch of business, fruit. growing. Though
We have been inclined to encourage expert
mentS at iruit-growing, we are fearful that
many good farmers will be disappointed as
to their success. Our reasons for this eX-
preston are. that the task attending the
business is much greater than most of them
have before attempted. The success de-
pends upon the care in the selection of a
suitable place for planting, and the atten-
ton afterwards. Fruit trees cannot be
grown with any degree of certainty IN a
yard or meadow; but il the land be very
dry and sandy they will do well in the gar

as much as possible from the winds, and
where carly morning suns will not reach

TACT that the most prolific wild fruit grows
IN the canyons and on the mountain slopes,
at points where they only have the after
noon sun. The trees should be protected
