to every man especially in the au.
tumn OF his life, 70 take to gardening,
If he has not already experienced its
pleasures. OF all occupations in the
world it is tie one which best CON-
bines repose and activity. 1t is not
idleness; it is not stagnation and
yet it is perfect quietude. Like all
things mortal it has its failures and
its disappointments, and there are
some things hard TO understand. But
1t is never without its rewards, and
perhaps If there were nothing but
successful cultivation the aggregate
enjoyment would be less. 1t is bet
ter for the occasional shadows that
come over the scene. The discipline,
too, is most salutary. It tries our
patience and it tries our faith. But
even in the worst Of seasons there is
far more TO reward and encourage
than to dishcarten and dissppoint.
There is 10 day Of the year without
something TO afford tranquil pleasure
to the cultivator of flowers, some.
thing on which the mind may rest

House Plants

In watering plants, care is neces-
sary. Under the treatment of people
of limited experience in window gar
dening, plants are apt TO suffer from
a lack Of water or from a too abund-
ant supply-they are either starved
or drowned. The result in either
case is about the same the leaves
turn yellow, drop off, and the whole
plant presents sickly and forlorn
appearance. Nothing is more de-
pressing to lover of flowers than
sickly, starved looking specimen OF
vegetation. Much less water is nee
essary in cold than In warm weather,
as plants then grow but slowly.
Morning seems to he the most suit
able time for watering, and luke.warm
water should be used applied 10 the
surface of the soil. ! have seen
some poured into the saucers Of the
pots, TO soak up into the earth at its
leisure but nature does not perform
her operations by such a process, but
sends the rain from above, and prob.
ably her example will be safe to fol.
low. The plants should be watered
thoroughly so that the water will
penetrate 10 their roots. Those who
are constantly dribbling 4 small sup
ply OF water on their plants will not
have them in a flourishing condition
for any length Of time. The reSon
is obvious; the surface Of the soil is
kept moist, but the lower roots per.
ish for the want Of water. A plant
should not be watered until it is in
q condition 10 receive a liberal sup
ply Of the element, which being
given, it only asks 10 be left alone
for a season. Besides watering the
roots, the foliage requires nearly az
much attention. Warm baths, show.
ering, etc, are necessary TO remove
dust and dirt, which are as injurious
10 the plant as they are to the human

Increase of Fertility Through
Green Manuring.
American Cullivator.


1t Is evident that recuperntive
forces are at work in the farmers
behalf. He is not obliged to return
everything to a moderately fertile
soil to maintain its productive capac-
ity. There may be sandy wastes so
poor and so little retentive Of what
they receive that they need manuring,
as has been wittily said, "eyery TWEEN.
ty-four hours;' but in general top
dressing once in two or three years
with frequent seeding 10 clover will
suffice for ordinary purposes. The
market gardeners who manure heavi.
ly every year are obliged to follow
such a practice because their land is
too costly to be kept in grass for
even a single year. The value Of
single crop ia often greater than the
selling price of farm lands. In such
cases, it is perhaps cheaper and bet
ter to manure heavily and keep the
land constantly under cultivation.
Gardeners do not, however, entirely
dispense with green manuring. The
practice is becoming more common
every year with seedsmen and nurse.
rymen at least TO SOW rye in the fall
on land that would otherwise lie
aakcd through the winter. It's growth
furnishes a slight protection TO the
soil from blowing or washing away.
Again, II is more than probable that
the rye only takes from the soil such
elements of fertility as have become
dissolved by rains and would other
wise be wasted, In this case, how
ever small the amount of manurial
value of the green herbagc, il is an
absolute gain OF what otherwise would
be lost.
With some varieties of crops the
spring growth Of rye may be allowed
until the latter begins to head at
which time its manurial value is
greatest. The staple hoed crops, as
corn, potatoes and beans, do not need
to have the ground fitted for plant.
ing until Fall-sown rye is beginning
TO head. An excellent farmer has
for years practiced this policy with a
young apple orchard, plowing late in
the spring, planting beans and seed
ing with rye after a bean crop is
harvested. lie drills in enough min.
eral fertilizers with his rye TO supply
that which the bean crop removes.
Other than this supply of fertilizing
material the land has for years re.
ceived no manure. The soil is kept
in excellent tilthe and the growth of
the orchard is all that conld be de-
sired. Until the orchard comes into
bearing, cropping with some low,
hoed crop, like beans, with little ma.
nure except green growth plowed
under, is perhaps tue very best policy
that can be adopted. The country is
full of young orchards which have
never borne a crop, but whose annual
growths show that the soil has been
over fertilized. Afler the bearing
habit is established judicious manur.
ing is advisable, but until then green
manuring with light cropping is
every way best.

Agriculture Based on Live Stock

The agriculture of the world is
based on live stock. No system of
farming can be prosperous that is not
so conducted. The original quantity
Of plant food, in new soils and in new
localities, may give prosperity for a
time, but it will not be permsnent.
The earth produces vegetation. Stock
consumes the vegetable food, and the
growth of the stock is the profit Of
the farmer. The manure is the bal
ance due the land and should be care

Chapped Hands.

The raw winds Of late autumn
often produce in the hands Of those
who are much exposed to them that
roughness and cracking Of the skin
known as chapping. If nothing is
done 10 prevent, and the person is
Obliged TO have his hands frequently
wet and dried, the cracks will get
deep and be painful. Corn husking
is frequently accompanied by sore
hands from this cause. As both a
precaution and cure for chapped
hands We have used the following
with benefit: Wash the hands. and
the face also il it is inclined to chap,
with borax water, and afterwards rub
with an ointment made by melting
mutton tallow (suet) and then grad
ually adding an equal quantity of
glycerinc, stirring the two together
until cold. For the hands, this mix.
ture can be best applied at night,
using it freely, and warming it by
the fire, after which an old pair OF
gloves can be put on TO keep the bed
clothes from being soiled, and also
make the skin snd hands softer. An
excellent glyccrine ointment for
chappcd hands is made by melting
with a gentle heat, two ounces sweet
oil of almonds, half ounce sperma-
cetie, and one drachm of white wax.
When melted, remove from the stove,
and add gradually an ounce of glyc.
crime, and stir it until the mixture is
cold. The ointment can be scented
with any perfume 10 suit the fancy.
Keep in wide-necked bottle.

Careful experiments have proven that

the fact that corn roots run very near

Why, Norwegian remarked, the day
