EARN NOTES.


Foul CE1IARs. Let all those who do
not wish to breathe pestilential atmos-
phere or invite disease withifi see to it
that no sink-hole of corruption be formed
or tolerated on or near their premises.

SAVED Hrs Com CRop.-Mr. Brown,
who has charge of large grain farm In
Alexander county, saved his fifty. acrs
corn field from the devouring army
worm by making a ditch around the en-
tire field. Most of his neighbors be-
came panicky, did nothing, and lost the
entire first planting. Farmer and
Fruit Grot6er.
CARE in choosing valuable varieties OF
fruit, In Preparing the soil, in planting
the trees, in cuItivatihg and pruning
them, In thinning the surplus OF and IN
picking the fruit-all this goes fot
naught unless the marketing of the fruit
is well done. Many man tolls hard
the year through, and get fails to reap
his deserved reward because he has neg
leeted the art of neat packing.
Ny Only objection to veal" said
gentleman at our table the other day,
is that it is too premature" This re-
mark might apply to the usual mantier
OF cooking it as well as to the meat
itself. Veal steaks, in order to be palat-
able, must be cooked thoroughly, no
matter how much haste the cook is in:
this should never be sent to the table
till it is nicely Drowned, the edges and
all. Salt and butter and a decided
sprinkling of black pepper are also nee
essary.
TEE CoD1ING- Morn. Elisha Moody.
of Lockport, N. Y, states concerning
the destruction of the codling- moth from
his apple trees "The method which
I have adopted, and which promises
more success than anything else, is to
shower the trees with solution of Lon
don purple This should be done after
the blossom falls and while the fruit is
yet small. continue the process at in
tervals until the fruit attains a size suf-
fciently large SO that it will hang with
the blossom end down. While the
fruit is small of course the blossom end
is uppermost, and any solution thrown
into the tree settles in the blossom end,
and where the codling-moth establishes
the seat of war;"
EFFECT OF LEAVING CANE Cur IN THE
FELD.-Prof. Henry, Madison, Wis. !:
A number of stalks still in good condi-
ton, the juice of which contained $50
cane sugar and 1926 glucose, were cut
and left in the field ten days, during al
most constant rain. At the end of the
ten days the juice contained 598 cane
sugar and go glucose. Some early
orange cane was also cut Sept 90, when
the juice contained 10. so cane sugar and
495 glucose, and was left in the field
till Nov. 2, when the juice contained
1880 glucose, while not trace of cane
sugar was present. These experiments
show conclusively that if cane is cut or
injured and left exposed to rain, the de-
struction of cane sugar goes on very
rapidly, being in time entirely changed
into glucose. The rapidity of the change
depends, of course, in great degree OK
the weather.
Using GREEN MANURE. -When I have
a load of manure, drive to the poorest
knoll or ridge on the farm, that has no
crop upon it, saving those most Access
sible for soft going stop at the highest
or poorest point, and unload at one
stopping and one side, throwing the ma
nure as far as can reach, one forkful
deep. [ let the manure lie till ] am
ready to pillow, whether it be one month
or six. In spreading, 1 throw the ma
nure upon the intermediate space be-
tween the ridge and the hollow, as clean
| as [ can with fork if it has lain several
notwithstanding more or less of it if it
has lain shorter time. The hollows
need no manure. There is nothing like
heavy mulching of manure for these
poor spots, and it is not best to pillow I'M
der much manure, for if sandy or gravel
ly they are liable to leach. IF the land
| is level or uniform In richness, I would
spread directly from the wagon. Cor.

WHEN TO FELL TIMBER. j. Ell. Moore,
of Arkansas county, Ark, writes to the
Germantown TeIegrGph:' I notice of
late some articles in your paper relative
to the durability of fence posts. 1 have
had experience of nearly forty years in
| getting timber out, and I have noticed
that there was a great difference in the
lasting of the same kind of timber and
upon examination I found that timber
cut after the leaf was full grown and
before the fall, would very greatly out
last that cut after the fall of the leaf. I
then began to look for the cause, and I
found that after the leaf had fallen all
the sap that had been making new wood
and leaf returned to the body of the tree.
and that during the time when the leaf
was on the tree all the sap was out of
and limbs. / also found that all trees
noted for their lasting qualities had
but little sap in the body of the tree
at any time, and that those trees
that decayed easily had great deal of
sap This led me to believe that it was
the presence of sap that caused rot. I
also found that large hewed timbers that
were gotten out during the winter would
heart-rot, while the outside was sound,
even when put inside building. Dur
ing these forty years have had many
thousand rails split, and noticing the
different periods that they lasted has
enabled me to satisfy my mind that rails
split in July or August are worth 80 per
cent. more than those split in the winter
months. With us sassafras is the most
lasting timber we have. Yet 1 know of
fence that was built with sassafras
posts six years ago that is now rotten.
The posts were gotten out during vim
ter. And have in my yard posts that
were set in 1858, which are now sound /:
they we're gotten out in the summer.
All this leads me to believe that the
sum mer is the best time time to fell
timber.
