,Ihere is considerable manurial
value in the scattered oats and barley
proved under on land intended for
wheat. But it should be plowed earlv
so as to be destroyed before tho time
ior wheat sowing. To sprout this
gram ana thus insure its destruction is

"A three OIL at most four years.
course n cropping land is better than
taking a longer time to it. This is as
sum'ng that n year of this time tho
lana will be seeded to clover. With a
little smaller area in grain or hoed
crops the grain, from increased fer
tllity. will make the farmer more clear
profit than from c%ultivating more acres
SO poorly that the land will constantly
be growing poorer.-N. Y. Tribune.

n cup of boiling water, in which
one-half teaspoontul of soda is dis
solved, the yolk of one egg, and a

ALL the wooden parts of every
tool and implement, especially if liable
to exposure to the weather, should DO
Well oiled with crude petroleum, ap-
plying enough to thoroughly penetrate
the pores. Such tools will last much
longer for this treatment. and such
parts as hoe-handlcs or whatever is
used in the hands, will be smoother
10 the grasp. Painting these portions,
which are not subjected to wearing is
useful. but not equal to oiling with pc
trolcum, or half so cheap.-Chicago
Tribune.
Where timothy seed is sown with
wheat or rye in the fall the grass seed
ing should be two weeks to a month
later. in order that it may not get q
sufficient growth to injure the grain.
Where wheat has been put in with a
drill and phosphated it is agood plan..to
harrow Just before sowing the grass
seed. This makes a fresh surface FOR
the seed to fall on. and. besides, pre-
vents the bulk of the grass seed from
falling into the drill burrows. where
they will crowd and be crowded by the
grain.-Prairie Farmer.
Peach jelly: Make a thin syrup
with ten ounces of sugar and a hall
pint of water. Then take ten or twelve
ripe peaches, pare them, cut them in
halves and take out the stones, bruis-
ing the kernels of half of them. Now
put the halycd peaches. together with
the bruised kernels. into the syrup and
allow them to simmer for fifteen min
utes. adding. for flavor. the zest of two
lemons and the juice of three. Then
strain the Jelly through o Jelly bag,
add two ounces of dissolved gelatine
and pour it into a mould. which should
be placed on the ice until the Jelly be-
comes stiff enough to turn out. The
peaches themselves may be utilized as
a compote.-1Ne Caterer.
