"A little boy, upon being told by his
mother that too much ice cream would make
him sick, replied as he extended an arm,
"Guess it won't hurt me, cause I've been
waxinated."
Henry A. Wise of Virginia is said to
have been the author of the phrase, 1.-THE
office seeks the man, not the man the office"
Add his name to the list of American authors
of fiction.
"A man who was fishing for trout in the
Tionesta years ago, so the story runs, caught
his hook on a bag of gold and brought it safe
ly to shore. As he looked at the gold he
said: Just my luck never could catch any
fish. "-M City Derrick.
"A young lady who had been married a
short time, lately told "bosom friend" that
there was only one thing more astonishing
than the readiness with which Ned gave up
smoking, and that was the rapidity with
which he took to it again after they were
married.
"A sick boy: ooh, doctor, Pm so glad
you've come. I don't know what's the mat
ter with Charley, at all. He complains of
the febrilc rise in his peritoneum. and he says
his hypochondrion is all twisted out of
shape. Oh, hos an awful sick boy, doctor"
81 should say, must have been reading the
Presidential bulletins" The doctor leaves a
seidlitz powder and departs.-Ne,o Haoen
Register.
"A store-keeper, having paid some fruit
less visits to one Of his customers, called
few days ago for an installment of his debt
But the customer, expecting him, told her
son, lad of five years, to say she was "gone
to town" Accordingly, when the man called
and asked, where is your mother to-day?"
the boy promptly replied, "gone to town"
ITO what town has she gone?'
The boy having no further instructions
from his mother, went to the next room, and
shouted, "Mither, what town are We at ? he
wants to know"

Changing the Crop.

The advantage of a rotation, either regular
or irregular, results from number of consi-
derations, some of the more important of
which are as follows: First, different crops
require food elements in different proportion,
thus potatoes require much more potash than
wheat, and this crop grown for succession
of years would exhaust the natural supply
much more rapidly than when only grown
with number of other crops between, not
demanding a large amout of potash In the
second place rotation, when managed pro-
perly, enables one crop to prepare food for
another. Clover sends long tap roots into
the subsoil which act as pumps to bring up
food elements that may be used by surface
feeding crops that follow. Thirdly, as differ
ent crops require different methods of cult
walton, the rotation can be so arranged that
there will be a constant supply of labor dis
tributed throughout the whole season. For
the same reason the variety on crops permits
of better cultivation and Improvement of
the soil, the destruction of weeds, etc.,

The Economy of Soiling.

Soiling saves feed and labor. One acre of
oats will feed twenty-five COWS for week
An acre of good clover and orchard grass has
fed the same number for four days. An acre
OF half.grown corn, planted in rows three feet
apart, will feed them for ten days, and when
full grown will last for twenty days. Twenty
five cows will use up one acre of good pas
ture in one day, In soiling, all the ground
can be made to produce two crops, and
some of it three and although the pasture
will keep on growing, yet it will not grow
SO fast as crops on plowed ground, and the
surface soon becomes soiled and spoiled by the
droppings. On the other hand, when cows
are soiled, all the manure is saved, and can be
gathered and put out on the fields as it may
be wanted. There is economy in feeding
and in saving manure; and in practice the
two savings are equivalent to doubling the
stock which any number of acres can carry
1t is a practice adapted especially for dairy
farming on high priced lands, and where there
is market for all kinds of produce. There
are no panaccas or specifics which will suit
every case, and those persons who made hob
bies of things which are useful or practicable
everywhere, will be apt to disappoint them
selves and those who listen to them. The
wise course is to find out what suits each par
ticular case and then persevere with it until
it is successful.

Farm Notes.
Give pure water to stock.

Give pure water to stock.
Petroleum is one of the best preserva.
tives of exposed woodwork.
Kerosene oil mixed with lard or any pot
grease is n good remedy for lice.
The farmer who lets all the liquids of his
barnyard run to waste is n spendthrift, how
ever "close listed" he may be with money.
1t Is saidby those who have tried it, that
bran is as good as the best commercial fcrti-
lizer for potatoes and corn and much cheap
er.
Three pints of milk contain as much
nutriment as pound of beef the difference
in the price all who purchase the two articles
know.
The custom of mixing lime and ashes
with hen manure is wrong. They drive out
the ammonia instead of holding it. Hen
manure is useful fer potatoes garden vegeta-
bles, and indeed for most all crops, including
Strawberries and other small fruits.
There are many farmers who have extra
good butter cows but who do not know it,
They have poor pastures in summer and poor
shelter and Indifferent feed in winter. They
have no convenience, for making butter, no
arrangements for keeping milk cool in sum
mer, and frequently in winter it is exposed
to the odors of the kitchen.

SULPHUR for Animals.

Iftaken internally with their food, sulphur
mails free from lice. We have made prac-
tice for years past of giving heaping tea
spoonful once week in the food of each of
our COWS, and the same quantity to about
every ten hens our flock and they have never
been troubled with lice on them. 1t may be
given in the some proportion as to size when
required in the food OF poultry, pigs and
sheep Sulphur is mild cathartic when
desired for this purpose, and in small doses
seems to have general beneficial effect on
the animal system, something like salt,
though, OF course, not ofthat nature,-RuraI

Profits in farming are too small, how
ever well the business is managed, to allow
of lavish expenditures; if economy is not
practiced the balance will be on the wrong
side of the ledger.

Gentlemen: have used your Silicated Phosphate
1or me last -FOUR years upon my Egyptian Sweet
Corn, Trophy Tomatoes, Lima Beans and Pota-
toss and can truly say have never found any
other Phosphate to equal it.
1t produces the largest crops, makes flrmer fruit
and of a better flavor, than any other kind.
On account of its fine mechanical condition, abb
sence OF moisture and odor it is easily distributed
and pleasant to handle.
L used twenty-five tons upon my Sweet Corn
the past season, and never had larger or finer
yield. Yours, truly,
S.N. HYDE
Mr.. JOHN F. MARsHALL:
Dear Sa-This is to certify that have used the
Popplein Silicated Phosphate bought of you for
two years past on my entire range of truck, and
the results have been highly satisfactory. 1t is
have used several standard brands. have tested
II beside good compost from my hen-house, and
find where used the Popplein my crops mature
better and the vines, especially tomatoes bear
much longer, and the fruit is of a superior quail
ty. Where used 1t on cabbage they were twice
as large as where there was none put Another
good thing can say in favor of this fertilizer is
that can put my plants or seed in the same hill
with the phosphate without any injury to the
plant or SEED. This nave tried to perfection.
very truly, JOSEPH STEBBING.

Gentlemen-Ih have used your Fertilizer for four
years past on the entire range of field and garden
crops, and always with the most satisfactory re-
suits.
| have found 1t especially adapted to the growth
of potatoes and Sugar BEES and my crop last sea-
son of over twelve hundred bushels of these roots
was grown with this fertilizer, and their quality
may be inferred from the fact that in a strong
competition, received six first premiums at the
last fair OF the Peninsula Agricultural and Po-
biological Association for the largest and best dis
play OF root crops The splendid mechanical con-
dition In which your Fertilizer is furnished, and
its uniform quality, as determined by annual
analysis In the State Laboratory of Delaware

and fruit-growers. Yours respectfully,
