No BEST FERTILIzKR.-D Lawes OF
Rothsmstead England, found in the course
of his experiments in wheat growing that
IA certain field would produce fifteen bush
els of wheat annually per acre, without the
application OF any manure whatever. The
application CT small amount Of nitrogen
enabled him TO double the crop, showing
that for the time being at least. nitrogen
was in less supply than the other required
elements But he also found that If he
added the nitrogen in the form Of stable
manure, he was applying it At an expense
four or five times as great as if he applied
it in the form OF sulphate Of ammonia.
The lesson to he learned by snch expert
ments is that there is no best manure or
fertilizer for all soils, nor is the same ma.
nure certain to be the best for given soil
in all years. The soil is constantly chang
ing under cultivation and cropping. and
the most intelligent system Of manuring
is one which supplies just what the pres
ent crop requires in order TO reach max.
imum growth. Selling beets and potatoes
soon e1hausts q soil OF its potash, and
therefore potash must be applied freely,
or some other crop grown which will re-
quire less. -Ne1 England Farmer.

The SECOND CRoP or CREAN. a re-
cent meeting Of the Connecticut dairy men
one topic Of discussion WAS the second
crop Of cream or that which rises after
the first skimming. Some were disposed
to claim that early skimming made large
loss in this direction and the amount which
could be gathered from second skimming
was admitted 10 be considerable. Erpe-
rienced dairymen claimed, however, that
this Was q loss rather in appearance than
in fact 1t was stated that this second
cream, If churnsd alone, produced not
butter but grease. Few had made this eI.
pertinent, most mixing the cream thus Ia
ken with that first removed, but IL seemed
10 be generally conceded that the late
cream was likely to deteriorAte the quality
Of the butter and that really frst-class NJ
ticle could not be depended upon where
this was resor,ed TO.

A PLEA FOR PLEASANT KITCHENS. 1t was
always mystery to me why farmers. when
building, should always, or with very few
exceptions, put the kitchen in the gloomi-
est part OF the house II there is place
on the backside that does not seem suita
BILE for any other purpose that is where it
is usually located; while the parlor, which
is used the least, occupies the pleasantest
part OF the house. Now the kitchen is the
place where the housewife spends the grea
ter part OF her time, for We all know that
housework on farm is no small matter
and laborious at the best. Then, as it is
in constant use, why should not oil its sur.
roundings be made pleasant and agreeable,
and not only pleasant but convenient? BY
that mean that the room should be Of
good size, not so large 81 to seem that
three rooms have been thrown into one, but
large enough to enable the housewife and
her helpers to pass to and fro without
iostling each other.
Then there is the sink, another very i'm
portsnt item. / never yet saw one con.
nected with farmhouse that was any too
large. One that will hold milkpsils, pans
and butter utensils is none too extensive.
Not that we would have them remain there
all the time, but there are days when such
things will accumulate to quite an extent,
on churning days Then is the
time that it is convenient to hs7e a place
to put them up out CT the way and no fear
of tumbliDg over them.
Right here ! would like to whisper
word in the farmers ear: There is nothing
that will cause woman to wear smiling
countenance so much as to have wood and
water handy and enough OF both. II a
man is not expected to do the work on the
farm without good tools, why should a
woman be expected to do the like? She
needs them to accomplish her part Of the
work just as much as he does, for often
times it is by their united efforts that the
mortgage is lifted from the little farm
and the family made more comfortable by
the means. All these little arrangements
seem trivial but they go great ways tow
ards making our labors lighter and easier
~ bear.

The Baroness Burdette-Co has the

thirteen inches high.
Miss Catherine l.. Wolfe, of New
York, will have the finest villa in New
port. 1t is in course of building, and

The Princess Louise is a member of
the royal society of painters in water
colors. Her sisters Victoria and Bea-
trice are members af similar societies,
and the Princess Alice was a sculptor of
considerable talent.
Mary Clemmer, writing of Mrs. Lin
coin since her death, says che was a
greatly misjudged woman. That she
was physically and mentally strong, but
that her mental forces had never sbeen
thoroughly developed and became
warped in later life. No lady who has
ever occupied the White House with the
exception of Mrs. Garfield, could and
did more habitually write an elegant
note than she, not only in English but
French. She had keen perception, but
peculiar fancies which sometimes inter-
fered with her judgment of people. Her
sympathies we're strong and steadfast, but
did not extend to 'people in general"
Her circle of real friends was small.
Like the great Napoleon. she could not
endure rival, and never invited as d
continuous guest any woman younger or
fairer than herself. She was a perfect
mimic and would have made her fortune
on the stage. Her sun set in her hus-
bands grave, and thenceforth she lived
at odds with the world that could not
console her.

value OF Draining.

The early summer and the fall
months afford many opportunities Of
draining land. There is no question
of its great utility. Sometimes ditch
ing is Of itself sufficient. ct other
times tiles or loose stones are best
laid. The depth Of drain, unless in
clayey ground may be three feet.
The deeper the drain until the depth
Of three is attained, the better the
effect, and the broader will he the
strip of land drained, or affected by
the drain, and there is no trouble
about the water percolating through
the soil 10 that depth. THERE'S some
times condemnation Of wet lands
which is not reasonable. A great
majority of crops prefer moist soils.
But the water is not wanted on Top
of the land; it must be got through
it easily to the bottom Of the roots,
and this undertaking does. When
water gets through the ground quick
ly it carries air with it, which is just
what the roots efplants. Roots which
never get the air in this way are
very inactive, and the plant Ian
guishes and dies. Underdrained moist
land, is the best of all land for Gro; s
as rule.

Canker Worms.

This is how I got rid of them on
four hundred apple trees (says cor.
respondent Of the Germantown 7sls-
graph. I took one barrel and a
half Of tar, warmed it in pail with
half rain water, and applied it,
about i o'clock in the afternoon,
with large paint brush I made q
ring around the body of the tree,
about half up to the limbs, and re-
peated it every day for thirty-one
days, having commenced on the Sd
of April. The habits of these de.
structive worms are peculiar. The
miller that lays the egg for the worm
commences coming out of the
ground as soon as it begins to thaw
in the spring, and Immediately
crawls up the tree and lays its eggs
in and on the buds, which hatch as
soon as the tree egins to leave,
when work begins. These millera
are hardly ever seen in the daytime
and they never climb the trees ex-
cept at night From a half-hour to
an hour alter sundown they appear
to pop out OF the gronnd and start
for The Tree. The female has no
wirgs and gats stuck in ihv tar, aud
that is the end Of il. had man
who tarred the fonr hundred trees in
ABOUT two hours; some Of the trees
had been only four years set out.
The tar was applied to the bark. No
harm resulted from it to the trees,
but the worms were tzterminated.
This was done siz years ago. My
trees mad been stripped for five years
OF fruit and leaves, but not canker
woIm has been seen since.
