For Nervousness, sIeepIess Nights.

II. X. STEVENS:
Dear Sir--I do not believe in pulling. nor would
indOrse humbug, but l consider 1t no more than
real justice to speak well of Vegetine, believing it
to be an excellent medicine. / have used several
bottles OF it to my entire satisfaction and great re-
lief from an inexplicable Nervousness, which had
caused me great suffering and sleepess nights,
have walked the floor and resorted to different
methods for relief, to no purpose finally thought
l would give Vegetine trial, with little faith,
will admit; but 10 my surprise and great relief, a
few doses convinced me that had got hold Of the
right thing for my difficulty. II sent out humor
from my blood that, have no doubt, was the
cause of the misery had endured, and found re-
lief as as medicine could relieve disease Of
that kind. When began its use / seldom got a
nights sleep, or half a one, and my appetite was
poor, and as q consequence; | was running down
rapidly; but, after few doses, / saw radical
change every way, and am thoroughly satisfied
suffering as did, Respectfully,

CLOVER FOR FERTILIzlNG. There are
farmers who rely pretty much altogether
on clover for renovatlng their lands. Its
use for this purpose has been a thing ham
ded down 10 us by the farmers Of by-gone
days. When clover is wanted to enrich
the soil for q succeeding crop it is better
to let 1t mature ratner than TO cut 1t early.
When clover is grown for seed the roots
are the best developed and contain the
most nitrogen. This Is the reason why
those farmers who precede wheat with clo-
yer for fertilizer first cut crop of clover
early and then allow the second crop to go
to seed before plowIng 1t in. The roots
and scattered leaves of clover make most
excellent fertilizers. This, at least, is
what practical men tell us has been their
experience. The use of clover as sertil-
izer Is we'll understood. There is no green
crop that equals it for the purpose. MIR.
Joseph Harris iD his talk on manures, says
/ at we can make our lands poor by grow
ing clover and selling it; or We can make
hem rich by growing clover aud feeding
1t ont on the farm. Drain where needed,
cultivate thoroughly 3D. as to develop the
latent plant food in the SOL, and then grow
cover to take up and organize this plant
food. This is how to make land rich by
growing clover. Draining and cuItlvating
furnishes food for clover, and the clover
takes it up and prepares it In best shape
for other crops. The clover does not create e
plant food, bu. mtrsly saves it.

let it boil very slowly and allow as much

of an hour to every pound-but judg-
ment is required in cooking it. as the
thickness of the fish will have more to
do with the timeit takes than the actual
weight; ten pounds of full grown sal
mon would take an hour anu a quarter,
when it is cooked enough take it up and
place it on a drainer; when thoroughly
cold have Mayonnaise sauce ready, and
pour over it; garnish with slices of lem

GREASE YoUR WHEELs.-The season has
now arrived for the almost constant use of
vehicles of all kinds from the farm wagon
to the sulky, and few words IN regard to
greasing will be timely TO those who wish
to avoid delays, damages, and oftimes con.
siderable danger. An ordinary farm- wa
gon, one which, while It may be used
nearly every day for heavy hauling, is
seldom driven faster than the walk of an
average farm team, should be greas d well
every Monday morning, IS should be the
cart, ard by making set time to do it, it
will rarely lie forgotten. A farm waeoi q
spring one, which goes to the mill, to mar
ket, and to divers other places, at an ordi-
nary jog trot, should be creased forty or
fifty miles according to the speed, while a
light carriage being driven faster and hav-
ing less surface or room for the grease
should be creased after it has run every
thirty miles or so, always wiping the
spindle clean and bright before applying
the grease. For carriages use only sperm
or castor oil, and but few drops at each
spindle, but for heavy business or farm
W ons, use the ccmncn axle grease, free
from salt.

How To RAISE MELONS. Select any
piece of sandy land, well exposed to the
sun; If all pure sand so much the better.
Plough dead furrows, Fix feet apart, "a
inches deep, in straight lines from north
to south. Fill these up with strong manure
and plough the earth back to bury the ma
nure and form a ridge; level the top with
the back Of the harrow. At each END
plant a stout stake 10 remain as an lndic8-
tor OF the exact position of the centre Of
the ridge. You now have a perpetual
melon patch for ten years at least. In the
epring, stretch garden hne from stake to
stake, and at every Six feet plant six seeds
in twelve inch circle, and four or Eve
radlsh reeds In the centre. The bugs will
not touch the melon plants as long as the
radish grows there. Let all the seeds grow
do not thin them out, and keep out the
weeds till the vines begin to show runners;
then mulch the whole patch with straw,
hay, fresh cut grass, or anything that will
keep the surface moist and the fruit from
the ground. AS soon as the frost kills the
vines, gather all fruit above eight inches
in diameter, and stow 1t away in sunny
corner, under some new hay. In this way
have melons rIpening slowly and finely
till the weather gets too cool TO eat them.
Next year plant your seed a foot or two
north or south of the old hills, and so on
yearly to obtain the whole ridge. The
roots follow the ridge, and the cultivation
can be run through the spaces without
disturbing the roots.

Too LITTLE SToOK.-1he reason why 50
many OF our Eastern farms are running
down" 70 that they are cropped" to death
and the soil is left to itself TO recurerate.
The usefulness of farm animals as manu-.
facturers OF fertiEzing materials is not
sufficiently apprt ciated. Cows are kept
for the milk they give, the butter they
axe, and the meat they afford for the
butcher, rather than for the manure thew
manufacture for fertilizlng the farm. Yet
this last Is an important consideration.
Such n anures are better than any prepared
fertilizers for general use, and no farmer
should overlook the almost imperative ne
cessity of food for his crops from some
source or other. A farm OF 100 acres
ought to have on 1t 10 to 20 head of cattle
besides hoses, sheep, and swine; and,
were this number kept on some farms we
know of, they would not be in the sad
condition they now are. Food is ALWAYS
necessary to growth.

The TREE CRoP.-The proper care of a
tree crop, requires its protection from in
jury. But we have left our forests unfep-
ced, or, if we have enclosed them, it has
been not so much for the sake of excluding
destructive ANIMALS from them as for the
purpose of making them pasture grounds
fer our cattle, where they have been free
to range and feed upon whatever might
please their taste. The tender buds, the
green and succulent shoots, the young
trees sprouted In Natures seed bed and
starred for the growth of century, per-
haps more, we have put at the disposal of
the teeth and horns, and trampling hoofs
of cattle. This has been regarded as a
cheap way of feeding these ANIMALS. But
there Is no fodder for cattle 50 expensive
as forest-fodder. Grass Is cheaper thsn
trees.

Sell F1R ROSES. all roses are fond
, of deep, rich soil, the beds or positions
intended for them should be trenched or
double dug, and have plenty of rotten ma
nure worked in as the digging or trenchng
proceeds. In cases where the land is very
stiff and heavy, the best manure to use is
that from horses, az this contains much
vegetable matter, and IS great help In
preventing the stiff soil from binding te O
C osely and shutting out air, which has
such a sweetening, beneficial influence on
the character and texture of all soils. For
light, sandy ground, COW manure is the
most suitable, on account of being cooler
In its nature and when In a decomposed
state highly congenial TO the roots of most
plants, and particularly so TO those of the
rose.
