What VIII Tomorrow Bring?

Don't know. Either clear weather or
cloudy. Either storm or sunshine.
Either sickness or health, or else, per-
haps, a middling condition half way be-
tween one and the other. If you are
ailing and poorly to-day, you may be
enjoying relief tomorrow, if you will
only take Browns Iron Bitters. If you
have this prince of tonics in the house,
look ioyfully and hopefully for the COM
ing of the morrow. 1t cures neuralgia,
headache, dyspepsia, weakness, etc.

Men Of sedeniary habits, students and
professional men need tonic to invig-
crate their systems that have become
debilitated by too close application TO
business or IRON other causes. Rev.
George w. Staley, of Shellhyville, KY,
suffered for ten years from dyspepsia
and at last was compelled to abandon
his vocation. He was advised to use
Mishler's Herb Bittors. He did 80 and
was cured.

Keep the pigs growing and making
frame. but do not forget that too much
fat will check the growth of bone and
muscle.
Study to do the greatest amount of
work with the least outlay of labor.
Manure adds to the preductiveness
of the land as soon as supplied; but all
the substance is not used up in one
season. Season after season the crops
are materially benefited by single
application of good fertilizer.
Farm for pleasure by all means, but
strain every nerve to make the pleas.
ure profitable one, as there is not
much pleasure in conducting losing
business.
II is said that fish will clear a well
or spring of angle worms; but perhaps
as good a use for these creatures in
springs and wells is to indicate whether
the water is fit to use or not, as fish
will not live in impure water.
Because the price of eggs may be
down is no reason why the poultry
should be neglected. Do not allow
those fowls that have been yarded all
spring to suffer for a taste of fresh
green grass that is just beyond their
reach.

Utilize the Rubbish.

Every farmer should have a COM
post heap, and keep adding to 1t
through the season Some one well
says, that many times, in cleaning up
around fence rows and vacant spaces
on the farm, great quantities of weeds
and grass are cut and allowed to go to
waste: which, if hauled to the MAJ ure
heap and incorporated in it while yet
green, would make vast amount of
excellent manure. This, of course,
makes work. but it Will lead 10 increas-
ed productlveness of the land, and this
will increase the crop and the profit
ableness OF the farming.

Nitrate Of Soda for Wheat.

In reply to many inquiries, we would
say that the application of nitrare Of
soda to winter wheat, is almost invari.
ably beneficial, but not always profit
able. The profit depends on the
price We get for the wheat. Wheat
must have nitrogen. 1t gets it from
the organic matter of the soil, or vege-
table matter plowed under. or from
manure. If we pillow under crop OF
clover, or sod, or stalk-manure. the
nitrogen of the organic matter is con-
verted into nitric acid, and the grow.
ing wheat plants find what they need.
For this change moisture is necessary.
On field from which a crop OF oats,
or barley or grain, has just been re-
moved, the soil is comparatively dry,
and this change proceeds very slowly,
or not at all. If we sow wheat on a
summer fallow, we get the desired
nitrates. Now it is highly probable
that where we sow wheat after some
other crop, and drill in phosphates, we
should find it profitable to drill in, i'm
mediately under the SEED, a small
quantity, say seventy-five pounds Of
nitrate of soda per acre, in order to
give the plants a start and keep them
growing until we get rain, and the soil
is moist enough to allow the decompo-
sition, and notification Of the organic
matter in the soil. A large quantity
probably will not pay; a small dose
probably will. The seventy-fve pounds
of nitrate might be mixed
with two hundred pounds ofphosphate
and the whole drilled in, together with
the seed. The nitrate should not be
mixed for any great length of time
with the phosphates, before sowing, OF
some of the nitrogen may be lost
