" hen a field has been long cultivated.
and has in consequence been reduced to
what we call worn-out condition, it is
frequently very difficult TO get It seeded
down. unless the application of manure
is very generous. But poor farms do
lot have much manure. and the owners
OF such farms are likely not to have
much money with which to buy ma
nure. But sheep will manufacture the
necessary fertilizer directly on the spot
and pay for the privilege of doing it. A
tleld could be sown to oats and then
pastured by the sheep, which, if they
had small! grain ration, would make
good growth and fertili the field at
the same time. Some of our best known
Eastern fiockmasters have had great
success in bring ng up exhausted farms
in this way. The sheep may be fed as
generously as we can afford t. feed
them. and it has been delnonst ated
that they will pay for all the grain and
labor, besides fertili?ing the land.
These exhausted Jams are usually
small, varying from fifty to hundred
ares. They would not support much
of flock and the hurdle would be a
necessity. But all the sheep that they
will support ought to be put on them.
There are hundreds of farms in the
East and South that can be bought for

A Ca heiral City.

To the casual visitor Milan is simply a
cathedral, with an ordinary humdrum
manufacturing town surrounding it.
say surrounding it, because the cathe-
dral stands in the center of the town,
all the principal streets radiate from it,
all the tramway and omnibus lines
start from it, and nearly all the places
OF amusement or diversion are in the
ncighborhood of it. Milan was doubt
less considerable city before the Ro-
mans took it and dubbed it Medic
lanum In the Middle Ages. when it
contained a population of 3U0. 000, it was
destroyed by Frederick Barbarossa.
Here it was that afterwards the Viscont
and the Slorzas reigned; here the Span
iards held their court; here Austria
rorded it over Italy until 1913. Every

Greenl,nd Vegetables.

In Greenland attempts have been
made to raise some of the common
plants of European gardens. At the
Ga degrees, close 10 the open sea, tur-
nipS. radishes. lettuces, and parsley are
almost the only plants that can be cul-
fivated with success. The turnip, in
deed requires favorable summer to
produce anything like tolerable speci-
mems. The cab ages are scarcely wor-
thy of the name; but ut two inland sta
tons up the ford. about thirty miles
north of Goithaab, the climate is strik-
ingly different. Here, DR.. Rink informs
US, turnips always come to perfection,
carrots prosper well and attain fair
size, and cabbages. though unable to
develop thick stalks, vet produce ,oier-
ably large leaves, which the provldent
Danes stow away for winter use. At
tempts have been made to cultivate pc
tatoeS, but the tubers never attain
size larger than marbles, and are only
grown and eaten as curiosities. Under
the most favorable circumstances, green
peas only produce shells in which the
peas are barely recognizable. This is
within the Arctic circle. or at least on
its immediate borders. In South Green
land-the site of the old Nocsemen's
settlements horticulture is practiced
under more favorable circumstances.
At some of the posts, in about the same
latitude as Chri ,tiania, good carrots
have Deen produced, and in forcing
frame Strawberries have grown well
and yielded fruit for several years, but
they afterward died, owing probably to
the severity OF the climate. AT Juiians-
haab turnips often attain weight OF
more than half pound, and are lit for
table in the middle of July. Radishes
are fit to be eaten in the middle OF
June. Rhubarb grows pretty vigorous
". and can be raised from seeds.
Green cabbage attains good SIZE, but
never the normal taste and pungency
OF the vegetable At Jakobshavn, in
60 degrees. l. minutes, our good friend
DIR. Plaff used to raise few radishes,
and the locality eing sheltered. the
tiny patch Of earth on the rocks, which
in that remote place passed for gar
den, produced ''crops'' almost as lux
uriant as Godthaab IN the South
Countries OF the World.
