VALUE OF WooD AsHEs.-The
value of good unleached wood ashes
is chief for the potash they con
tain, but there is some phosphoric
acid which is as valuable as the
potash sometimes. Hardwood ashes
contains 10 per cent. Of potash,
worth 6 cents a pound; 6 l 2 pei

How TO SELECT SEED. CoRN.-Al.
ways select good ears of corn for
seed-the best. Take them from
stalks bearing two or more ears.
"a perfect ear has all rows perfect,
a small butt end, the cob we'll tipped
out with grain and covered with
husks, the kernel uniform and we'll
ripened. The careful selection of
ears is one of the ways of improving
the quality Of future crops.

GROUND FOR PoTAToEs.-A dry,
sandy knoll is not COOL ground for
potatoes, except in very wet sea-
son. AS this is rare, it would be
better to PCT potatoes in low ground,
but it must be we'll drained or the
potatoes will be wet and of poor fla
vor. Stable manure is good fer.

enough of this it is best to use the
the special potato manure. The
specially prepared manure always

FRUIT-TREE CULTURE.

When designed for small grounds
plant peaches, ounces and dwarf
pears where the entire soil will be
cultivated. Standard pears, apples
and cherries will better endure the
hardship of grass plots, but open
the turf three feet wide about each
tree and keep the soil mulched at
least the first year. In the orchard
do not mix peaches with apples, but
have each specie by itself, as each
has peculiar habit, and each re.
quires different treatment. Guilt
vate the entire surface of the Or
charu for five wears. Some hoed
crops will bring almost as good re-
turns as though there were no trees,
and the trees will be vigorous and
healthy, whereas if left uncultivated
man misfortunes are liable to occur.
If man is half fed, half sick, there
are manydisorders that stand ready to
attack him, which in full vigor
would not get foothold. 1t is the
same with trees. Do not be in
haste to see them bear fruit. The
better they thrive the longer it will
be before they come into bearing
but when they do begin to bear they
mean business. In planting an orch
ard we should mark both ways with
commander, and plant in squares
equal distance from tree to tree
every way. Then all will be in line
from every angle viewing. This i:
the easiest and best method.-Green':

THE MORTGAGE.

We worked through spring and winter,
thro' summer and through fall
But the mortgage worked the hardest ana
the steadiest Of us all.
1t worked on nights and Sundays; 1t
worked each holiday
1t settled down among us. and 1t never
went away.
Whatever we kept from it seemed almost
as bad as theft
1t watched us every minute, and 1t ruled
us right and left.
The rust and blight were with us some
times and sometimes were not;
The dark browed, scowlmg mortgage was
forever on the spot.
The weevil and the cut-worm, they went
as we'll as came,
The mortgage stayed forever, eatlng
heartily all the same.
1t nailed up every window. stood guarc
at every door.
And happiness and sunshine made then
home with us no more.
Till with failing crops and sickness We
got stalled upon the grade,
And there came dark day on us wher
the interest wasn't paid,
And there came sharp foreclosure, ant
kind o. lost my hold,
And grew weary and discouraged, ant
the farm was cheap!y sold,
The children left and scattered, whel
they hardly yet were grown;
NV wife she pinned an persisted, an
found myself alone.
What she died of was "a mystery an
the doctors never knew,
But knew she died of mortgage-!just a
we'll as | wanted tc.
Tito trace hidden sorrow were within
the doctors art,
THEY'D ha' found mortgage lying O
that woman's broken heart.
Worm or beetle, drought or tempest, o
farmers land may fall,
But for first class ruination, trust a NOR

HAY OR FODDER.

1t is evident, as our country De-
comes more densely populated and
larger numbers of stock are wanted
per acre, there will be G radical
change in rough feed for winter use
for cattle. We may expe and talk
about three tons of tame hay per
acre, but the average does not ex'
coed one and half tons. At exper'
iments at the Nebraska Agriculture
al College it was found that the
weight Of green corn fodder per aver
age acre was twenty tons. When
carefully dried out, there were from
six to eight tons of choice and nu-
tritious fodder for cattle, besides a
good crop of sound corn. The fod-
der and corn combined were worth
five acres of the best hay. 1t may
be contended that this plan would
be more profitable now in time ut
scarce and dear labor. Have ample
blue grass pastures for late feeding.
and then corn fodder for the winter.
This probably requires little more
labor in feeding thar hay or corn.
But labor and care are among the
best elements o" success, We are
among those who believe there
should be more profitable employ
ment on the farm in winter, either
for the hired hands or the proprietor
There would be less gadding to town
imblbing bad habits, neglecting fam
lily, farm, and stock. There are
thousand of farmers all about us
poor, and who ought to be, if it were
no, for the suffering and tolls o.
wives and children. But the sub
ject Of using more of the corn fodder
which now goes to waste, and less
hay, is worthy of serious considera-
ton. Much less sized farm woul6
profitable carry larger herds of cat
tie, as it is evident one acre of corr
will supply as much as two acres o
hay besides. it will not in the leas
lesson the crop of corn. In some
cold and stormy winners corn fodde
has some objections owing t" TIN
trouble of handling it in the vino
and deep SHOWS. Care and prudent
forethought can overcome in
measure this difficulty 1t is rar
winter which has not pleasant day

times the fodder could be place.
