We are glad to see that one of the
unsightly pines on Central Avenue
has been cut down. 1t would certainly
look much better if all the trees
along the avenue were cut down and
good shade trees planted. Some of
the trees are very dangerous, and it
is a wonder some of them do not
blow down on the houses dnring the
high winds like that on Monday
night. As it was, several trees were
blown down in the town.

You know what rust is. You
have seen old rusty nails. You
know they are useless, for they can
not be driven into anything. Have
you never found an old rusty knife?
You know how worthless it is. Indo-

rust is to the old nails or the knife.
1t renders the mind worthless.

BE ECONOMICAL.

Look carefully to your expendi-
lures. No matter what comes in, if
more goes out you will always be
poor. The art is not in making
but in keeping it; little ex-
penses, like mice in a barn, when
they are many, makes great waste.
Hair by hair heads get bald, straw
by straw thatch goes of the cottage
and drop by drop the rain comes in
tie chamber. A barrel is soon
empty if the tap leaks but drop a
minute. When you mean to save,
begin with your mouth many
thieves pass down the red lane.
The ale jug is a great waste. In all
other things keep within compass.
Never stretch your legs farther than
the blankets will reach, or you will
soon take cold. In clothes, choose
suitable and lasting stuff, and not
tawdry fneries. To be warm is the
main thing; never mind looks. A
fool may make money, but it takes
a wise man to spend it. Remember,
it is easier to build two chimneys
than to keep one going.-Farme,
and Manufacturer.

The prospects of the hop crop
are very poor in the Ottawa district,
Canada. The yield will probably be
far below the average, the cause be-
ing the ravages of the small green

of the weaker yards. The average
this year is considerably increased,
but the aggregate yield will be very
small.

At this season of the year, if a
COW is fresh in milk and in good

long as it remains in the udder.

IMPROVE YOUR SOIL.

How to improve light, sandy lands
and render them productive and re-
munerative with the least expense
and labor, and at the same time
bring them into this condition as
soon as possible, has long been
leading problem. TO render such
soils highly fertile is work requiring
time and patience, but it is being
done. Lands that were naturally
exceedingly barren and worthless i'll
their natural condition have, under
intelligent and judicious manage
ment, become rich and value. The
amelioration Of such soils, it hardly
need be said, consists in supplying
them with constituents necessary to
plant growth which they lack in
greater or less degree, and in con-
stantly improving them. 10 supply
such constituents in the form of
manures of various kinds at the out
set is impracticable in almost any
cass by reason of the expense and
labor required; but this course is
not necessary. Nature is ever ready
to afford assistance and generously
second mans efforts in this behalf,
if he will adopt proper means to
reach the desired end. She has pro-
vided plants that are specially
adapted to such soils. The clovers
are among such plants. The COW
pea is especially adapted to such
soils, and there are others we need
not stop to name, which seize upon
the slight nourishment afforded and
by their habits of growth, shade the
soil, extract valuable and necessary
material for their own subsistence
both from the earth and the atmos-
phere, and work as vigorously as
possible to recuperate the produc-
tive capacity if the soil in whicl
they live. Such crops in time fl
the soil with a mass of tibrous roots
cover the surface with foliage, il
there is a possibility Of dong so
thus shading the ground and pre-
venting the evaporation of sucl
moisture from the earth, and ex-
tract valuable fertilizing matter
from the atmosphere, which con.
tributns largely to supplying fer
tility. The value of turning under
; such crops is we'll known, and neec
not now be enlarged upon. These
with the of such suitable manures
) and fertilizers as can be readily sup
; piled, supplemented with proper
rotation Of crops, and the keeping
of live stock, will in time bring un
productive, light soils into a goo,
degree of fertility.-Tenas Stat
