Deep VS.. Shallow Flowing.

There seems TO be quite q difference
Of opinion in regard to the depth to pillow
for the successful growing of crops.
Some farmers advocate deep, while
others, quite as positive, claim that shall.
low blowing is much the best Ny ex.
perience and observation in blowing ia
that some soils will admit Of deeper pillow.
ing than others. For instance, light.
sandy soils will admit of deeper pillow,
ing than stiff clay soils, or those that
have heavy clay subsoils. Subsoiling
for such lands perhaps is better than
too deep blowing. / think that all soils
are benefited by deep blowing occa-
sionally and 1 think deep blowing
ought to be done always in the foil, so
that the new soil can have the benefit
and influence Of the sun, air and frost to
better fit it for a crop. We should
be q little careful about turning up too
much OF the new soil at time, for some
subsolls require certain elements to make
them productive that can only be sup
piled by some system of manuring. L
find by deep blowing in the fall, and
then by top dressing of fine
manure, fits most any kind of soil well
for term Of years, ii followed by iu-
dicious rotation Of crops. II / draw

TO get the manure too deep in the ground.
If am plowing for small grain in the
fall ! generally pillow good depth; if [
am blowing for small grain in the spring
/ do not plow 30 deep. A farmer must
study the nature Of his land, and expert
ment little and watch closely the re-
suits, and by that method he can soon
learn what is best for his land. The sol!
differs very much sometimes in the same
locality; seasons vary, droughts and
heavy rains occur, cultivation and fertil-
iZers-all have q powerful influence on
the productivenesss Of the growing crop.
Ms well as deep or shallow blowing. So
we see that in drawing our conclusions it
is not always the depth Of blowing alone
that produces our light or heavy crops.
! think crop Of clover has a good indu-
ence ON the tightening and looseping of
some subsoils, and on stiff, heavy clay
land it sometimes has better effect than
deep blowing. Glover, / think, is good
and cheap and very eilectual way of rem
oyating old, heavy land. y.

Putting hoop on the family fvui
barrel Is an operation that will hardly
bear an encore. The woman generally
attempts it before the man comes home
to dinner. She sets the hoop up on the
end OF the slaves, takes deliberate aim
with the rolling pin, and then shutting
both eyes, brings the pin down with ali
the force of one arm, while the other
one instinctively shields her face. Then
she makes dive for the camphor and
unbleached muslin, and when the man
comes home she is sitting back of the
stove, thinking of st. Stephen and the
other martyrs, while burnt dinner and
the camphor are struggling for the
mastery. He says that if she had but
kept her temper she wouldn't have got
hurt. And he visits the barrel himself
and puts the hoop on very carefully,
and then adjusts it SO nicely to the top
OF every stave that only q few smart
raps apparently are needed to bring it
down all right. And then he laughs to
himself to think what o fuss his wife
kicked up for simple matter that only
needed little patience to adjust ITSELF
then he gets the hammer and gives the
hoop smart rap on one side, and the
other flies up and catches him on the
nose, filling his soul with wrath and his
eyes with tears, and the next minute
the barrel is flying across the room, ac-
by the hammer, and another
for camphor and rag is en-
rolled in the great army that is unceas-
lngly marching toward the grave. 49,

The Rights OF Others,

If parents would teach their children
to respect each others rights under all
circumstances, society would be bur-
dened with few Of those men whom we
now meet daily, aud who deliberately
prey upon the follyor weakness of others.
There are some children that seem 10
have no sense Of "mine or thine" but
borrow ut pleasure what they want, ap.
prOprlate to their own use what BELONGS
to other members Of the family, make
sharp bargains, cut off the corners in n
trade, and consider Themselves only
"smart" and praiseworthy when they
have over-reached or outwitted their fell
lows. Unfortunately, in many such in.
stances, the parent rejoiccs rather than
mourns that that child seems to have n
faculty OF taking care Of himself" Let
US sketch what seems to us an ideal con-
dition III family as to the principle of
mine and thine" Each member of
the family has his own personal belong
ings, aud these are sacred to him
alone. No other member NEEDLES there
with. Ills treasures are not inspected
even or appropriated by any one but
himself. Ii he have a room by himself,
that room is safe from intrusion; no
locks nor keys are needed to guard him
nor his from impertinent and ollicious
meddling. Nevertheless, tho parents
oversight never fails and they revise all
bargains and agreements made between
their children, 30 that the elder may not
take advantage of tho younger, or tho
sharp OF the dull, so that each one shall
have an "even chance with the rest
The laws of equity govern parental de-
clsions and secure to each child Justice.
With such training at home, there is
little danger that these young poo.
pie will dcvclope into yer-reaching, nv.

THE new Duke of Portland seo

The new Duke of Portland seems to
be q generous young man. The Swing
estate in Caithness was bought Ly the
late Duke OF Portland not long before
his death, and the tenants have recently
petitioned the present Duke to grant q
permanent reduction in their rents. The
Duke sent an expert down to Scotland to
inquire into the matter, and the report
was that the rents were rs per cent. tRE
high, and they have according been
dnced. 1t turned out that the proper
had been purposely over-rented before
was brought into the market; but
would have been rather hard upon
purchaser had he happened to be pe

PrOpagating Plants.

The propagation of plants by cutting
is not difficult operation; yet it would
seem that horticulturists have taken
especial pains to obstruct the operation
with so many difficult conditions that
amateurs have been discouraged from
undertaking this delightful and salts
factory employment. To be successful
it is absolutely necessary that the plant
from which the cutting or "slip" is
obtained should be in perfect health.
II this is weak or diseased, failure will
be the result An excellent method TO
prove the proper condition OF the plant
from which we wish to root cuttings, is
to note if the slip breaks or snaps clean
of, instead of bending or kneeing. II
it SNAPS clearly off it is in the right state
to root freely; should it bend and not
break it is too old, when if it roots at all
it will be slowly and make but sickly
plant. With but few exceptions, cut.
tings OF all kinds root freely from slips
taken from young wood before it be-
comes hardened. The practice of cut.
ting at or below joint, which has been
generally considered practicable, has
been the cause Of numerous failures,
from the fact that when slip is cut at
Joint, the shoot has frequently grown too
hard ut that point, while half an inch
higher up or above the joint, the best
condition will BIO discovered.
1t is wisest to pot off cuttings as soon
as rooted, even if the roots are very
small. Half an inch is the best length
for them to be; they will spindle and
become weakly if left longer, and when
once in the pot will not flourish as well.
The soil should be finely sifted and the
pots about two inches wide and in depth.
After potting, place on boards or
benches covered with an inch of sand,
sprinkle freely with fine watering pot,
and shade four or fine days. BY that
time they will begin to root, when no
further shading is necessary

The American Consul General at Vienna,
J. Riley Weaver, formerly Professor Mt
the University Of West Virginia, at Nor.
gantown, has furnished the Government
some interesting statistics in regarl to cen
sus returns on the continent Of Europe.
The chief Of The countries reported upon Is
the Enplrcot Austro.lIunsary, whose cen.
sus was taken December 81, 1880. The
last previous census.was in 1860, and in the
interval Austria proper has gained from
9O,30G,OOO TO 100000. Hungary, on the
other hand, has increased only from 15,.
4l5,OOO 10 l5,Olo,00O, which is practically
standing still. The explanation Of Consul
Weaver Of This is The recent wars, (which
have, however, involved Austria more than
Hungary the commercial crisis Of 1873,
tho cholera Of 1921, emigration TO the
United States, and the social ostracism o.
the Germans by the Magyars. Race pre-
judiccs are n great incubus upon the pro
gress Of hungary. ,.s
The census OF Portugal shows an in.
crease from 1851 Of 70 per cent, that is
from 3,G03OO0 to 100000. This is u slow
but healthy growth and confirms other
signs Of the increasing prosperity Of the
Iberian peninsula. It is not improbable
that Spain aud Portugal will catch up with
Italy lin development under peace ind
liberal administration.
The following table is made up by Con.
sul General Weaver:
