quantity of pigs for the express pur-

1t may be we'll TO mention an ex-
pertinent that has just come to my
note. A friend had Several peach
trees, the leaves of which were turn
ing yellow, and other signs of decay
manifested. Last July be removed
the turf and soil near the roots, in
circle of about three feet across,
around each tree, and filled in the
places with charcoal dust. The re-
suit was surprising. The trees put
on healthy leaves, and all other
signs of illness disappeared in a
short time. They commenced to
thrive, and this season are quite
healthy and well-filled with prom
ising fruit.
l have often used charcoal for
many crops and can recommend it
as a most valuable fertilizer.

thoroughbred horse is not fit for
farm work that his limbs are too
weak to stand the strain, and his
nerves to highly strung for plod-

it is different. He has speed. STAN

necessary to be patient and kind
with him when put to slow work.

Wheat is called the staff of life,
but corn is more universally used,
grows almost anywhere that wheat
grows and easily leads it in value
and productiveness. Corn was IN
known to the civilized world four
hundred year ago, but in that peri
od it has subjugated the cereal
kingdom. 1t is grown in u wider
range of latitude and under more
varying conditions than any other
grain. 1t requires only the labor
Of the hands to plant, cultivate and
gather it, 1t is the poor man $
crop. Our early coIenists were
quick to perceive its advantages,
and ut once adopted the aboriginal
methods of tillage and culture. The
best corn regions in America are
between forty degrees south and
lilty-fuur degrees north, and in The
east from the Azores to southern
Europe. There is rarely a surplus
of corn. 1t is safe crop. There
is nothing better for man and
