at requires but little skill To hoe
n row Of corn, etc" The above,
from recent editorial in the Rurai,
will be accepted as true according TO
the value each individual places on
the merit and thoroughness Of the
hocing and the object sought. The
term ITO hoe covers wide range Of
soil manipulatiOns, and the oper-
alton is one OF the most important Of
all the small labors in the garden,
and if but "littlc skill is required TO
hoe hill Of corn" in my experience
that little is more than one in ten or
dinary laboring men possesses. II
hOclng corn consists merely in haul
ing the earth to, and making n mound
up around, the stalks to shed of the
rain, then ! yield the point at once :;
and where the Cultivator has been
freely and properly used, the area
about bill of corn, for the skillful
exercise of the hoe is, | confess, very
limited, and in many cases is regard
cd az not existing. Aside from the
destruction Of weeds, hoeing corn, as
| use the term, embraces breaking the
crust, loosening and pulvcrizing the
soil close in and about the stalks and
roots Of the young plants, for the
free passage of warmth, air and mois-
tnrc, and leaving the ground nearly
level.
In the finer and more varied opcr-
aliOns of the garden or field culture
Of small fruits, the hoe plays IA more
important part, and in strawberry
culture especially IL is the most i'm.
pOrtant of all implements used. and
requires more SkiH 70 use it cxpertIy
than many people are aware Of. In
all my long experience | have never
found a hand who, after years Of
trial and repeated showing, could or
would hoe a row Of straw berries so

at glance which was his. From this

Houses for Hired Help.

One chief reason why farmers are
short of hands is, that laborers can
find few comfortable houses 70 live in.
at fair rent, convenient TO their
business. They must take the VOWS
of celibacy, or 60 to some city or
village to shelter their families. This
is why the Villages and cities grow,
and why their saloons and aims
houses find customers, while the
country depopulates. and the farmers
suffer from the lack of help.
Country rents should be cheaper
than city rents. Country tenements
should be more pleasant, convenient,
healthful and every way desirable
than city tenements. There is abun-
dant opportunity TO make them so,
and it is a shame and n disgrace to
farmers il they are otherwise. Coun-
try employment should be as agree
able, constant and renumerative as
can be had elsewhere. The great de.
mand of our agriculture is more la
Dor TO the acre, and this is the way
to get it-give workmen comfortable
houses at fair rent, and ample gar
dens with currant bushes and fruit
trees they won't resist the tempta-
tiou.
This will enable workmen to board
themselves, when required, to the
great relief of many overworked
farmers wives. This will supply
children's help, often very conven-
lent. Thus the labor supply can be
made up to the great advantage of
every party concerned. Let us have
houses for farm laborers.

MANY of the growers of buck.
wheat, says Mr.. Hyde, in the New
York Times, act as though the crop
was hardly worth raising, putting it
out on poor land, half plowed, and
fertilized not at all. The conse-
quence is small, Improbable yield.
Fourteen and half bushels were the
average per acre in Massachusetts by
the last census. Now, while il is
true that this grain will grow where
other grain would scorn TO grow, it
is poor policy to plow and go through
all the other motions for raising a
crop and raise only half \ crop. If
buckwhcat is worth raising. let us
raise a decent crop. Forty, ilfty and
even seventy bushels are reported by
some growers. Buckwhcat responds
TO thorough cultivation and good fer.
tilizing as kindly as does corn, and
commands about the same price in
market. If forty bushels can be
raised on an acre, II Is n penny wise
and pound foolish policy TO raise
only fourteen and half.

Potatoes Without Manure.

"A. b." Derby, VI, asks if pota-
Toes can be proftably cultivated by
using phospbates and other artificial
leftlllzers, and emitting barnyard
manure. Some successful potato
growers do not use barnyard manure
ut all, as they think II propapates the
rot. They prepare the land in adj
vance by growing crop Of clover TO
turn under in July; upon this is
sown buckwheat, and when this has
made its growth it Is turned under
The next spring at planting time an.
per.phosphate, at the rate OF 200
pounds TO the acre, is applied in the

A Constant and Honored Place for Rye

July to and through December. and

pastured it all the fall after the corn
was taken of, and the next Nav

to plant potatoes. Have sowcd it
the middle of August, then pasturcd
all the late fall and early spring, then
saved IL for good harvest crop.
Have sowed it the first of Septcm-
Der, and after the ground was frozen
in winter it would furnish the stock
quite an amount Of green feed.
At other times | have sowcd rye
just before winter set IN. either No

come up very early in the spring and
give a very fair crop. No weather
or treatment or insect seems TO affect
1t much. Have ploughed n heavy
growth Of IL under In November and
IN December, when every inch Of
earth in the furrow.slicc would bc
pcrmeatcd with the white rootlcts of
this hardy growing crop, and such
dense body of IL as to keep the frost
out, allowing it TO be ploughcd after
other ground was frozen hard. Have
ploughcd it under in MAY. when it
was three and half feet high. using

A PRAcTIcA'. New Jersey farmer
writes 10 the Farm Journal. "The

tance Of thorough cultivation, and
act accordingly. Most og us pride
ourselves more on how many acres

cultivated them. Corn delights in a

BROOD MARES that are worked with
care are apt TO do quite as well as
those who do nothing but eat. In
all cases they should have a roomy

foal. When the foal is four or five
days old, the mare can be safely put

Why He Hesitates.

The president seems to be having a re-
markable amount of trouble in getting
a cabinet to suit him. For a month the
old cabinet officers have been awaiting
their reliefs, couple of them being very
decided in urging their immediate dis
missal. The attorney general drops his
pen finally and Quits the office without
welcoming his unnamed successor
and the secretary of the treasury,
being already elected to the Senate.
surrenders his charge with equal sudden
ness when he hears that Gov. Morgan has
been confirmed as his successor. Rut it
seems that even this one fish has not
been hooked. Morgan declines, as the
president must haSo known that he
would. He seems to have nominated
him simply to compliment an old friend
and to show that he was willing to take
q man to his bosom who was not alto:

is composed of about 35 Cameronites to
Is Antics. The latter will be struck
quickly from the list, and then only Cam
eron men remain. and the last, who will be

The Coyle murder case is still going on,
and will doubtless occupy four days OF
this week. Public sentiment is very
strong against him, bat his counsel have =
hope that they may clear him on the
ground Of insanity. The prisoner has
given up hope and returned to his cell last
Saturday evening crying.
7 Last Saturday while a party of young
ladies and gentleman were boating on the
Codorus creek, Mr.. 8. McClena2han, of
Greene, Lancaster county, student of the
Collegiate Institute, was accidentally
thrown into the water. Mr.. NJ. being a
good swimmer soon reached the boat and
crawled into it, more frightened than hurt,
and Joined in the laughter of his more for
tunate companions.
The Collegiate Institute is in as flourish
ing condition as in former years, and the
professors think the moral and the mental
faculties of the students superior to those
of former years.
A lady was picked up from tho sidewalk
by the police some time ago, having a cut
upon her head. She has since died with
out being able to tell how she was injured,
and the citizens think that She had been
hit with some instrument. The police are
looking into the affair.
