USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Early potatoes, early peas and
onions are the first crops to be put in
the ground, and they should be planted
as soon as possible. e.-PratTie Farmer.
Sweet corn is the best and most
nutritious forage crop, and another
recommendation is that it makes the
greatest growth of foliage to the
amount of stalk.-N, 7. Herald.
Americans have made more prog
ress in manufacturing farming imple-
ments in the last fifty years than the
world has made before in centuries. In
the next fifty years the great improve
ment will be in live stock and the re-
suits swil bo no less astonishing
Troy Times.
The root crops are the one great
need of sheepmen who have not winter
pasture for their stock. One acre
planted to carrots, rutabagas and man
gel-Wurtzels will keep up the summer
thrift of quite a large flock. Try an
acre this summer. divided equally be-
tween these three varieties, and you will
find that You will get more feed off that
acre than any acre you ever planted
before. Toledo Blade.
Goldfish Balls: Pick up very fine,
one quart of Goldfish; soak it in water
over night; the next morning put it in a
saucepan. Slice as thin as possible one
quart of raw potatoes; put on top of the
fish with enough cold water to cover
them; cook until the potatoes are done;
put in colender and drain off all the
water. Mix and add two eggs, little
pepper and a lump of butter. Make
into small balls, with the least possible

"A solution of oxalic acid has been
used for removing ink stains from cot
ton, linen or the fingers, but it is at
tended with the danger of jnjuring
textiles and the Skin. A much safer
and better treatment of ink or rust
stains consists in the application of two
parts of powdered cream of tartar and
one part of finely powdered oxalic acid.
Shake up the ingredients well together

1t is q general belief among farmers
that milk for calves should be slightly
warmed, at least to the temperature
natural when taken from the cow. The
calves will drink it more freely at this
warmth. When, however, the heating
is done on the stove it is apt to be
/ warmer than new milk. This is in

80, rare old plant is the ivy green"
The king of all the climbers. In its
native English home it hides castles,
churches and ruined walls with COW
ering Of perpetual green. Unfortunate
ly, it will not endure severe winters,
especially when exposed on walls. Ii
allowed to trail on the ground in To-
cation somewhat sheltered from the
wind and sun, and given slight pro-
lection of leaves, | think it would stand
any amount of freezing If possible
have an ivied wall; if not, an ivied bank,
or terrace; both are poems to the eye,
and invaluable treasures in times OF
house decorating. The three best va
rleties are the Irish, heders, caneriensis,
rapid grower with large foliage; ID.
regneriana, Il helix, with small foliage
and of tantalzingly slow growth.
For covering brick and stone walls
with masses of green and vigorous
ampelopsis quinquefolia, American ivy,
or five-fingers, ranks next to the true
ivy. In regions where this vine grows
wild, Transforming dead stubs and trees
into columns of living green, changing
again before the frosts into crimson
glory, it is passed scornfully by, and
not unfrequently confounded with the
poison iYies. Rhus toxicodendron and
r. radicous are likewise condemned.
But CITY dwellers appreciate its real
worth. purchase it at fifty cents per
root. and plant it generously.
A Japanese cousin of this vine,
ampelopsis veitchii, is pronounced by
Mr.. Wick to be the finest perfectly hard
wall plant known. 1t is more delicate
than the American ivy, the leaves are
nearly heart shaped, and are dark
blueish green, with peculiar metallic
luster. Like the other, the foliage as
sumes brilliant tints in autumn.
Another desirable native wall climber
is the bignonia, or trumpet creeper,
with green, glossy foliage, and scarlet,
trumpet shaped flowers in August.
None of these vines need training, as
they throw out rootlets from their
stems, by which they attach themselves
to brick or stone.
Of other strong growing climbers,
the wistarias are the best w. sinensis,
or Chinese wistaria, will grow twenty
feet in a single season when well
established. It presents magnificent
appearance when in full bloom, with
its thousands of pendulous racemes OF
purple blossoms. There is white
variety of the same, but not so strong
a grower. There is native species,
less vigorous and Towering later.
Several interesting species have 6een
introduced from Japan, among WhIen
is double variety, and another, ".
fortuni, with racemes OF light purple
flowers two feet long.-NGtto''G4 hc-

THE L.lME-KILN CLUB.
The Tragic Outcome of Conspiracy to
Unseat Brother Gardner.

The Tragic Outcome of a Conspiracy to
Unseat Brother Gardner.
The excitement which has prevailed
among certain of the older members of
the club came to climax Saturday
evening. What occasioned the excite
ment was kept profound secret
among a dozen, but it may be stated
here that the rumpus was kicked up by
Prof. Sun1ower smythe, local mem
Der with hare-lip and toes turning in.
For some weeks passed the professor
has hankered for an official position,
and, failing to secure recognition of
his merits. he organized conspiracy
to dethrone Brother Gardner. By cir
culatIng many false statements, and by
forging the names of several indiVid-
uals to false documents, he enlisted the
sympathies of Elder Antimony Swift,
Deacon Cohort Davis and Judge Cut
Off Kemperberry. He approached
Huckleberry Tompkins with the plan,
and even went so far as to offer him q
conspiracy, but Brother Tompkins was
true blue and gave the whole affair
away.
When the meeting was called to or
der the three conspirators were in their
seats, entirely unsuspicious Of the
sand-club which was hanging over
5heir heads, while the President, Sir
Isaac Walpole, Waydo Tn Bebee, and
others in the ring. carried very serious
countenances. The plot of the con-
spirators was not yet fully ripe. Prof.
'nythe was Just settling himself down
sound Elder Toots in the matter,
when Brother Gardner rose up and
said:
