NOTES FOR THE FARM.

Some Timely Hints for the Husbandman and
the Gardener.
Hays stacks and new mown hay are pro
vided for children at some fashionable garden
parties.
Plant some sweet corn for feeding your
mich cows i'm hot August and September.
Plant every month up to the middle of July.
A farmer i'm Marion county, Fla, has 165
acres planted in watermelons, which he ex-
poets will yield 44S,S00 melons, at the rate OF
three melons to q vine.
Beguiled by fine, sunshiny weather short
time ago Kansas sheep raiser sbeared 600
fine merIno sheep. That night a cold rain
set in, and when morning dawned zoo sheep,
living and shivering, stood among the car
cases of 400 that had perished.
That hens lay better when divided into
small flocSs has been demonstrated. In
one flock were nineteen hens and in another
four, the former rcce,ing much better care
and food than the latter, and having
better quarters. The highest number of eggs
received from the smaller flock in one day
was four, aud from the larger flock thirteen
and the average products of the two tlocks
have borne about the same ratio.

Pruning Rose Bushes.

From the Nick's Magazine.
Recently planted rose bushes may he
pruned at once. They will not be very rapid
i'm commencing growth, and il is best when
they do begin that the wood formed should
be permanent We usually shorten the
branches to within four or five eyes
from the bottom of each. Plants put in
last year, or i'm former seasons, should
be pruned according to their habit.
Shy-growing varieties should never be
hard pruned, as there is possibility OF
crippling them, but robust growers are ben
eficial by rather severe pruning. Early
pruning is great mistake as it induces the
lower buds to start into growth prematurely,
and they frequently suffer for it in being
overtaken by frost. Plants which have
formed number of small growths and a few
very strong long ones should have the small
ones closely cut in, and the strong shoots
relied on for a supply of the bloom. About
six inches of growth, at the most, is sufli-
cent. What we have noted may be described
as the short-spur system of pruning, but it
is not the oniJ mode of dealing successfully
with roses.

THE pAny,s SHOE.

I was hunting 'mongst my treasures
In the garret hid away
And pulled wornout knapsack
From the corner where IL lay.
I was holding it before me
Wondering how its life was spent,
And what scenes Its life had witnessed
In the battle or the tent;
Then wondered what was In II.
And from out it's depths drew
An old box Of leaden bullets,
And baby's little shoe.
Marked and battered were the bullets,
Ragged was the shoe and old
AZ IL lay half laced before me
What q tale of love It told.
Oh, how tiny was the treasure,
Yet knew II travelled far,
As the brave young soldier bore 1t
Mid the dreadful scenes OF war.
What It's influence upon him
None can fithom, none can know,
Nor the wearer of the treasure
That the soldier cherished SO.
Did you shield him In the battlcg
Did you keep him pure and true?
Did you bring him safely homeward?
Tell me, tell me, little shoe.
Did he fight on Lookout mountain3
March with sherman to the sea-
Was he In the flnal conflict
Where our army conquered Lee?
We may never know the story,
But we know this much Is true,
That some soldier was made better
Iiy the baby's little shoe.

stirring Wet Soil.

Stirring wet soil has such II bad effect that
an entire seasons cultivation will fail to make
it friable and mellow. Especially is this the
case with heavy land, where hard Jumps
point clearly to the mistake made in early
spring. Nothing is ever gained by planting
seeds i'm wet soil, for the surface will certainly
bake hard and cause failure of termination.
Should abundant moisture remain after
heavy rains, it is not fit place for the garden,
for the varieties of plant life that will flourish
under such conditions are few indeed. On
the other hand, the moment soil is sufficiently
dry to work loosely, the better for early

Eruit for Farmers,

Farmers should have large variety of
fruits, such as peaches, pruncs cherries, pears,
plums, nectarines, ounces, crabs, grapes,
raspberries, Strawberries, currants, etc.
Peaches should be planted on northern
slope, and should he mulched with rotten
straw, coarse manure, litter, sawdust, etc,
