Fall Flowing.

W. A. Armstrong says, as reported
in the HltSbGlldmaH: A very forcible
argument in favor Of fall blowing may
be found in the improvement of heavy
soils, as Mr.. Lewis has said. He finds
color and texture changed by the opera
tion of frost. He can deepen his soil
also by judicious fall plowing "a gain
by no means incOnsiderable. Deepen
ing heavy soils is giving them drain
age, an improvement usually needed
where clay predominates, because its
close texture tends to arrest the flow of
water, and the land is, therefore, kept
wet long after the proper season for
plowing in spring for oats and barley.
But after all the advantages of fall
plowing visible in my practice l know
there are farmers who work land of
similar compositions who say that fall
ploWing wastes fertility. l do not
know how, yet they say after trial that
their lands run down under the treat
ment. The facts may be as stated, but
/ must think there are other causes. In
some cases fall plowing leads to con-
tinued cropping by the facilities it af-
fOrds for extending work. This is the
temptation to get just one more grain
crop, with preparations completed in
fall sowing to stimulate desire. If il
be true that fall plowing in itself
brings impoverishment of soil / should
be glad to know how, for / cannot con-
ceive why it can have that effect

Farm and Gnrden Nores.


Water and salt your live stock regu-
larly.
Don't waste too much grain in har-
yesting.
Cows generally do not ''let down"
their milk readily to those who do not
treat them kindly.
Feed fowls Systematically two or
three times a day, and allow them to
take plenty Of exercise.
A farmer should so arrange his
kitchen garden that he can use both
plow and cultivator in its manage
nent.
One cow, horse, sheep OF pig well
fed is more profitable than two kept on
the same amount necessary to keep
one well.
Fowls like cabbage in winter. In
fact, if they have the run of the cab
bage patch in summer there will be
none left for winter use.
1t is thirty per cent. more profitable
to premature and dispose Of fattening
cattle at two year old than to keep
them up TO three years.

"tO the white men and carry them

unteered, glad to earn a yard of cloth
for the Job. A letter was written and
offered to man, and he was told
that this piece of paper would inform my
friends of all-that it would speak To
them. He dropped the letter on the
ground and ran away. Others were
tried, but it was useless. a great
crowd assembled, and at safe distance

Saving Poultry nInnnrc.

Poultry manure is well worth saving
1t contains when dry in 1000 pounds
about forty pounds of nitrogen, twenty
pounds of potash, two and halt
pounds of soda, sixty pounds of lime,
seventeen pounds of magnesia, thirty
six pounds of phosphoric acid and ten
pounds of sulphuric acid These are
worth at the market prices of fertil-
izers about $15, equal to $50 ton.
This, however, is much less than is
popularly supposed to be the value of
this manure, which some persons
think to be equal to guano, or $50 a
ton at the above valuation. But to
preserve all its fertilizing value the
droppingS should be carefully saved
each day and mixed with small guam
tity of plaster and put into a dry place
where they may not become subjected
to any injurious fermentation. The
best way to keep it is in close barrels,
in which it may slowly decompose
without loss of ammonia. The mix
ture of plaster adds nothing to its
value, but preserves all its elements,
and especially the nitrogen, from waste
by absorbing the ammonia produced by
its decomposition.

Putting Awny Tools.

The wearing out of farm implements
is, as a rule, due more to neglect than
to use. If tools can be well taken care
of it will pay to buy those made of
the best steel and finished in the best
manner; but in common hands and
with common care such are of little
advantage. Iron and steel parts
should be cleaned with dry sand and Il
cob, or scraped with a piece of soft
iron, washed and oiled if necessary.
and in day or two cleaned off with
the corn-cob and dry sand. Finally,
paint the iron part with rosin and
beeswax, in the proportion of four of
rosin to one of wax, melted together
and applied dot. This is good for the
iron or steel parts of every sort of
tool. Woodwork should be painted
with good, boiled linseed oil, white
lead and turpentine, colored of any
desired tint; red is probably the best
color. Keep the cattle away until the
paint is dry and hard, or they will lick,
with death as the result. If it is not
desired to use paint on hand tools the
boiled oil with turpentine and +" liquid
dryer" does just as well. Many prefer
to saturate the woodwork of farm
implements with crude petroleum
This cannot be used with color. but is
applied by itself, so long as any is alb

Patch Work.

Annie Wakeman writes from New
York to the Chicago Morning Journal. 4.
Old-fashioned industries are coming
into vague. The latest is the patch
work mania. One day last week l took
a flying trip to Fort Lee. Seated on
the broad'piaZZa of its fine hotel, Snd
listening to the afternoon concert by
the band, amused myself by studying
the people seated about me, most of
them regular boarders ut the hotel,
who were plying their fingers over
various kinds of fancy work. There is
always one kind which is the rage for
the summer. Last summer the prefer
ence was given to serpentine braid
"ric-rac" work, consequently every
other woman you met had her muslin
gown deliberately decorated with this
snowy trimming. This year the rage
is for the "Oscar crazy quilt" On Il
piece Of cambria half a yard square
there is basted in the center sunhower
made of either yellow broadcloth, silk
or velvet, or lily, daisy, OF pansy of
one of the same materials. The square
is then filled in with bits of silk and
velvet of all colors, arranged helter
Skelter, sort of artistic confusion of
cOlors. The bits are of irregular pat
tern, just as your friends give them to
you-squares, triangles, circles, jags
and tags. After basting these on the
edges are neatly turned in, and the
piece is sewed down firmly with a
chain stitch of old gold, alternating
with cardinal sewing silk. When the
cambria squares are completely filled
out, and enough of them have been
made for bedquilt or sofa comforter,
they are joined together with narrow
black velvet ribbon, which is orna-
mented with chain and herring-bone
stitches in shaded silk floss, to suit the
artistic taste of the worker. The
sunfOwer gives the name of
Oscar" and heaven knows
the patches are crazy" enough
in shape. Such is fame. Oscar Wilde
is immortalized himself in silk quilts,
to be handed down to generations yet
unborn as heirlooms of what grand
mamma did when she was a girl.
Spirits of former grandmamas, how
you must fume as you haunt the gar
rets where are ignOminiously packed
away your favorite calico quilts, the
much-treasured "spider-web," 'foX
and geese" and "log-cabin " patterns
"What is this fOlly?" you ask in sepul
chral tones; "the Oscar crazy young
women, you are all clean daft along
with your trumpery quilts"
Never mind, this serves to revive the
homely industry of quilt-making, and ;
prominent society lady tells me tha
one of the novelties next season her,
will be the sociable quiltingAbee, il

Why Egyptlans lack PatriotIsm.

Durng my visit TO Egypt-Some
seven or eight years ago-there was
certainly no national feeling among
the Egyptians, Neither they nor
their ancestors for nearly two thou
sand years had known native rulers.
During all these long centuries they
had been the spoil of Roman, Arab,
Turk and Mameluke in turn; from
none, since the Roman time, had they
received protection of life and prop
erty or any national benefits, and it
was impossible that patriotism should
exist among them, for there is no
patriotism save in Il country worth
loving The conduct of the Egyptian
troops in the late Russian war is a
proof of this. The few battalions
l saw in Egypt were fine
looking troopS-well armed, instruct
ed and equipped, with intelligent
faces and excellent physique; yet they
proved utterly worthless, as it seems TO
me, because they were destitute of that
pride which is inspired by patriotism 4;
for them their flag had no meaning,
its honor was no concern of theirs.
Their conduct in Abyssinia and the
Soudan was similar, and no doubt from
the same cause. How can valor and
patriotism be expected from men whose
only knowledge of their government is
that derived from the tax-gatherer, the
bastinado and forced labor? The
achievements of that great soldier,
Ibrahim Pasha, are not in contradic-
tion with this conclusion, because few
of his troops were Fellaheen. His
conquering armies were mainly COM
posed of Arabs, Syrians, Nubians, Ar
nauts-in fact, of fighting men from
all the neighboring parts of the East,
who were reduced to discipline by his
stern will and guided to victory by his
great military genius. General George

A Terrible Misfortune.

Colonel Folsom was reading the
morning papers yesterday at the break
fast table, when he exclaimed in a hor-
rified tone of voice, "What a terrible
misfortunew what is it-sOmebody
got married?" his wife asked in an in
different manner. "NO, but a married
woman in New York, in a fit of rage,
threw a coffee cup at her husband.
The cup was shiyered into fragments,
and one of them cutting his iugular
artery, he died on the spot. The re-
porter says the grief of the unfortunate
woman was dreadful to witness. She
was frantic with remorse, and made
several attempts to put an end to her
existence" "Poor creature" said Mrs.
Folsom, with sigh, 81 reckon the
broken cup must have belonged to her
