The great ice-felds in the North
Atlantic, says the Rochester Dem
ocyat, are probably the causes of
our very chilly weather. Were it
not for the enormous ice drift out
of Bafiiu's bay, each year, our eli
mate would be quite mild in COM
parison with what it is. The vast
field Of ice and enormous bergs rob
the air of its warmth and produce
chilling winds. The influence of
the Gulf stream is n~eutralized until
the ice disappears.

1t is common to cut grain as low

1t is a practice among gardeners
when reporting plants to pack the
earth very tightly about the roots. The
gardeners reason for this is the fact
that a loose soil acts as a sponge to re-
tain too much water, while very COM
pact soil will hold little more than
the plant needs. This is a wise precau-
ton to guard against overwhelming.
The dnaerzcan Garden suggests that
that synonym of meanness, .spusley,"
may be got rid Of by raking it into heaps
the larger the better-between the
rows of vegetables. The centre of the
heap will soon ferment, and in short
time reduce the entire mass to
black blotch upon the ground. If all
mean men could only be got rid of as
easily!

trunk and branches Of the ounce that
are tender, but the roots, trees being
almost invariably killed III exposed
situations where frost penetlates deep

leaves and well-rotted stable manure,
saying the better the manure with rea-
sonable limitsl the fairer and larger the

Selling Old Corn.

| Tim Bunker the veteran agri-
| cultural writer of Connecticut, used to
claim that it was ruin to sell old corn.
That is, ruin to the farmer. As usual,
''Tim'' hit the nail squarely on the
| head. Many farmers, by careful man
| agement, succeed in holding a good
share of their old corn until it is nearly
time to harvest the new crop. Corn is
then up at a good price, and it is usual
" considered good policy to sell out be-
fore the new crop is pushed upon the
market. 1t is poorpolicy to sell corn at
all if it can be fed out upon the farm,
and it is certainly very poor policy to
sell good hard corn, even if it does
bring few cents more per bushel,
and then fatten your own stock upon
new corn. Hogs should be fattened
before the cold weather sets in, and
there is nothing that will do the work
up so expeditiously and cheaply as old
corn. A bushel of it seems to 60 as far
as two of the new crop. There is no
gaseous fermentation going on in the
old corn as there is in. the new, conse-
quently it is a safer feed for any stock.
Old corn can also be ground, if desired,
and mixed with other food.
Again, there is always risk in sell
ing out the old crop before the new is
fully ripe, as in our latitude we are al
ways liable to frosts, after the first of
September. We can never feel abso-
lutely sure of a crop of corn until it be-
gins to harden in the ear.
The main difficulty with the majority
of our farmers is, that they have so
managed as to be actually obliged to
sell a crop, whether the price be re-
munerative or otherwise. How fire.
quently we have seen farmers sell corn
in the fall for twenty-five cents per
.bushel, selling themselves short in order
to meet obligations overdue, and then
buy in the spring for forty cents per
bushe1. Instead Of buying stock and
feeding out their. grain upon their
farms, they are obliged to keep their |
stock sold down in order to pay the in
terest upon a mortgage or other debts.
Many a rundown farm owes its present |
condition to an overhanging mortgage,
which not only deprived the farmer and |
his family of their rightful income,
but saps the very fertility from the land
itself. Westeraa RoDnaas.

A Backwoods Home.

To the Eastern eye how rough in it,
outfit and how pathetic in its lack O.
comforts is the home of one of these
| pioneers. The one [ have in mine
stands close to the brink of the river, sc
near the waters that the rise of last
spring swept up to the door sills. 1t is
made of logs squared and fitted at the
ends, with the long interstices between
the timbers closed by wooden wedges
and mud work. Two or three rugged
outhouses similarly constructed give
| shelter to the farm cattle. The half
cleared tract of one hundred and sixty
acres, taken by the settler under the
Homestead Act, is thickly Scared with
blackened stumps, between which rise
struggling patches of grass or grain.
Nearer the dwelling is scrubby garden
covered with weak growth of carrots,
and the whole cleared tract is circled
by the ghost-like array of those dead
pines which all over Michigan record
the sweep of the forest fires. The dis
NAL environment of the settlers home
has its counterpart in the rough walls,
the uncarpeted floor, the squalid chill
dren chasing each other from corner to
corner, the flock of frowsy chickens that
enter and 60 out at will, and, most
pathetic of all, the housewife, worn with
toll who. with an infant at breast, pulls
YEARLY through her dreary round of
drudgery. In closet fitted with dirty
berths sleep the children. Go up now
to the upper story next the roof where
the grown people and visitors sleep.
The garnet, for it is nothing else, runs the
whole length and breadth of the str1ic-
ture. In each corner is rude bed fit
ted with sheets and coverlets on which
seem to have gathered the dirt Of ages.
On one of these in the open room slept
my comrade and myself. In another
was the mistress of the manse, whose
husband was away in one of the lumber
towns; and in third narrow couch
slumbered two hired men. With one
exception the nearest neighbor OF this
backwoods family was some ten miles
away; all supplies had to come FROM the
lake town OF AuSable, fifty or sixty
miles distant, over sandy roads, afY1 the
only visitors were the rude lumbe i1nen
or an occasional sportsman. Yet amid
all these shadows of poverty, ha1 dship
and squalor, there were some ritts of
light. Faint glimpses of culture or
comfort were to be seen in the coarse
prints on the wall, the sewing-machine,
and some stray efforts at household dec
