GREEN CRoPs.-The term "green crops"
is applied 10 turnips, carrots, mangeI wurzel,
parsnips, vetches, cabbages, and all kinds of
clovers and grasses when consumed on the
farm; that is, when green crops are alluded
TO as improvers Of land, it means that they
are to be used on the farm either for feeding
animals or for plowing under as green
manures, Green crops are not so exhaust
ing rs grain crops, because they are not
allowed to ripen seed, hence their distin-
gushing feature from crops raised for their
seeds.

TOMATOES AND HEALTH-The tomato,
says the 1ustraiiaa Hcdicm Journal, is
thought too little of By physicians. It's
remarkable effect on diseases Of other plants
suggests its use as a germicide and pro-
tector against those disorders, so many Of
which we now know derive their origin
from bacteria and allied germs. If a tomato
shrub be uprooted at the end Of the season
and allowed to wither on the bough OF a
fruit tree or il il be burned beneath it will
act not only rs a curative, but protective
against blight and similar attacks. This
hostility TO low organism is due to the
presence of sulphur, which is rendered up
in an active condition in the decay or burn
ing. Remembering that digestion also
splits up the tomato into its chemical con-
stituonts and releases sulphur, probably in
nascent condition, and probaly in the intes-
final canal, it may have as great potency
there as experiments prove it to have out

cat crop is so abundant that, since harvest,
the price has fallen from 60 cents per bushel
to 35 cents per bushel. The wheat crop is

cotton crop is below an average in every sec

reported in fine condition in those sections
in which it principally grown. The average
Of the rice crop for the State is 80; the average

them down the back, and divide them again

poonful of butter, and after drying the pieces
Of pigeon, brown them slightly in the butter

while you prepare Il paste. Line a baking
dish with the paste, and. pour in the pigeons
Cover all with paste, and bake quickly un-
til nicely Drowned and thoroughly cooked
Serve in same dish.
PEPPER PoT.-Boil three pounds of tripe
in clear water the day before you want to
use it, then boil a knuckIe of veal in about
three quarts Of water until it is thoroughly
cooked Remove it by straining the liquor,
and cut up the tripe into small pieces and
add to the liquor Pare and slice eight po-
tatoes and put them with the tripe. Add
some thyme, summer savOry, two red pep
pers, and salt to suit the taste. Boil slowly
for three hours.

rice until it is quite soft. Stir into ita table

CARE OF C0Ws.-In the very hottest days
it viii pay to keep mich cows in dark stables
during the heat of the day, bringing them
some green food and turning them out to

way the annoyance from flies win be greatly
lessened and their milk capacities preserved.
CURRANTs AND CHICKENs.-"A successful
chicken raiser says that he always feeds his
hens among his currents, and the leaves are
consequently free from worms, and other
bushes not thus treated near by were entirely
stripped of their foliage" What success he
had with the currant crop is not stated but
unless his breed of fowls differs greatly from
any we have ever seen his currants would
be well stripped Of their berries.

side the body. Summer diarrhpa, English
cholera, and typhoid fever are all due to low
organisms. AS the diarrhueal and typhoid
seasons are luckily contemporaneous with
the fruiting Of the tomato, it is not unrea-
sonalle to assume that t0mato-eaters would
be more than ordinarily likely to escape such
diseases.
Experiments are now being made on the
tmcture of the tomato, which VIII help in
determining its therapeutic value. Mean
while, eaten cooked with hot meats, and in
the form Of Il salad after cold lunch, it is Il
pleasant and useful addition to our ordinary
regimen. The fruit acids it contains, COM
bIned with the mechanical effect of the
seeds and skin, render it to some extent an
enemy to scuryy as well rs q laxative, and
the sulphur, with its known power over
septic conditions, would probably contribute
to make its use a protection against the
poison germs of those diseases, like typhoid,
that find their way into the system primarily
by the alimentary canal. One caution is
needed to the lovers of this escuIeut. All
kinds of raw fruit, except used with care,
are liable to irritate and we have known an
instance where a person working hard all
day on raw tomatoes only, was seized with
inflammation Of the bowels, which proved
fatal in a few hours. As an article of diet,
Two or three tomatoes will be found as
effective as, and certainly safer, than a
dozen.
WOoL.-Wool buyers are paying only
from twenty-eight to thirty cents They
claim that all OF the factories have an abun-
dance Of wool to keep them running for the
next six months, and that the country is
flooded with manufactured wooleu goods of
all kinds and that wool has q downward
tendency. These raen have told the same
story SO often at this season of the year that
it iswOrn threadbare There can be no reason
why wool should not sell for forty cents
before the 1st of September. Hold on to it,
it will keep better than any other product of
the farm. 1t always brings better prices in
the fall than in early spring-Oraage County

SWAMP MUCK.-This is of great value as

it can be obtained easily, stores of air-dried
muck can be advantagcously used in stables
As an application alone TO soils Of any
kind-silIcious, dry, humid, or any other-it
has a very small intrinsic value It's whole
contained amount of mineral plant food does
not equal in value more than fifty or sixty
cents ton, and the bog-humus in which it
is involved is of little value except as an
absorbent This is its value according to
chemistry, but its value as a mechauieal
agent in clayey soils is of much Importance

London purple was excellent for potato

The Black Walnut.

An address delivered last winter by
w. H. Raglan, secretary Of the In
diana Horticultural Society, on cult
waiting the black walnut for profit,
contains SO much that Is valuable that
we are induced to refer on the present
occasion to some Of the facts which IL
presents, and to add few farther sug-
gestions. Mr.. Raglan thinks the black
walnut the most valuable Of all trees
for artificial plantations and timber
belts. He states that Q man In Wis
cOnsin planted - piece Of land"
twenty-three years ago with this tree.
We are not informed the extent COW
cred with 1t, but that the trees, sixteen
to eighteen inches In diameter, were
sold for ST 900. He adds that walnut
lumber now commands from SIS to
500 per thousand feet In the cities,
for parlOr decoration and other pur-
poses. The tree bears nuts at an early
age. and annually thereafter, which
have an important commercial value.
In raising trees, 1t Is " utmost i'm
pOrtsnce to do everything In the best
manner. Those who careiessly plant
the nuts, especially after they have
dried for . long time, will probably
fail to get trees; or II any grow, and
the owner expects the young trees to
take care of themselves. he will be
greatly disappointed. Mr.. Ragan's
directions are, therefore, to the point,
when he says the ground should be
