FRUIT GROWING.

The following from an essay read
at an Ohio Grange meeting is worthy
of careful perusal, and offers some
good suggestions for farmers who
have not yet given attention to horti-
cultural matters:
The fruit grower is an employer,
and each plant is an employe which
can accomplish much or little, ac-
cording to the masters knowledge of
its needs and his faithfulness in pro-
viding for them. Each plant set out
is an independent establishment, and
ifnot hindered will go ON steadily
doing the work appointed to it by ma
ture, gathering its food and changing
the raw material, by means Of the
rain, the sunshine and the atmos-
phere into delicious fruit. 1t is a
pleasant thought that the plants we
set out and care for are so many little
helpers engaged in our service, and
whether we sleep or wake, whether
we are sick or well, they still go on
and on, with their silent, busy work.
1t is the fruit growers province to see
that all the conditions are favorable,
so that there may be no interruption
of this work. His returns will be in
exact proportion to his judgment and
thoroughness in this respect. This is
point where knowledge is power.

Will Farmers Learn?
Dirigo Rural.

Dirigo Rural.
Merchants, lawyers, doctors, mo-
nOpolists, and we add mechanics, all
stick together; they are true to the in
terests of their class. With farmers,
just the opposite is the rule; each fell
low is for himself, and is Indifferent
to the welfare of everybody else. He
fails to join with others for protection
from the greed and avarice which
plumber and despoil him Of fair
share of the product of his labor,
weakly and foolishly concluding that
he has no time or money that can be
devoted to his own interests. Instead
of cooperating with other and resist
ing these encroachments, he contents
himself with saying he has all he can
do to take care of himself, which,
with the difficulties to perplex and
hinder him, that his apathy has in
yited, is not far from the truth.
We have country with unbOunded
resources, becoming richer and richer
every day; and yet, the class that pro-
duces the wealth is becoming poorer
and poorer with the most rapidity,
and they have themselves to blame
for it. If they have not actually and
actively aided the oppression that en-
virons them, they have encouraged it
by their silence.
The land is swarming with men
who live by their wits, and our law
makers come largely from this class.
They are not too honest to steal or
rob, but they do it in accordance with
the prevailing ideas of present adj
vanced civilization.
Somewhow they nearly all, direct
ly or indirectly, draw from the public
treasury, and 50 much of the money
thus obtained is no better than rob-
berry; but their methods are legalized
and the people are helpless so long as
they dO.not take matters into their
own hands. These parasites and grab
bers are all loyal to themselves. Will
farmers and producers ever learn tc
be true to themselves?

BEES.
The Profits That eau Be Realized By
An Intelligent Apiaist.

Detroit Post.
In these times of seeking for new
sources Of profit on the farm, as that
of grain growing wanes, bees come
in for their share of attention. Prof.
Cook relates how Bookkeeping may
be profitably associated with general
farming: eve often hear that only
specialists should keep bees, that bee
keeping is no business for a farmer or
for person with any other business"
The Professor relates the experience
Of his brother, E. j. Cook, of Owasso,
who is one of the best farmers in the
State and whose crops are always
among the best in the county where
he lives. ga few years ago he pur-
chased a few colonies of bees more to
interest his boys than with the eX-
pectation of making money. He
winters them in a good cellar and has
never lost any. In 1883 his colonies
reached fifty, and last year sixty. In
1883 his profits from his bees exceed
ed by a considerable sum those from
his farm. Last year the excess was
even greater. Either of his boys, one
sixteen, the other fourteen, is capable
of entirely managing the bees. The
apiary has been a source of valuable
thought and study to all, and the
constant profits have brought no
small satisfaction. Mr.. Cook and his
boys have spared no pains to secure
instruction and never refuse needed
attention to the bees. They say they
had better neglect the farm" Prof.
Cook further says Of the profits of
Bookkeeping, that good, thoroughly
prepared bee-keeper can easily care
for one hundred colonies with no
help. Except from the middle of
May to July 1st, he could care for
two hundred colonies, which, to do
well, should be separated into two
apiaries which should be at least four
or five miles apart. Thus, by hiring
an assistant two or three months du-
ring the season for storing, a good
apiarist can care well for two hun
dred colonies. In good bee region
which abounds in such honey plants
as white clover, Eastwood, raspber-
ries and abundant fall plants, it is
not too much to expect as the years
average fifty pounds of comb honey
per colony and increase to double the
number of colonies. This estimate is
below rather than above what has
been secured by our best bee-keep-
ers.

An old physician, retired from prac-
tice, having had placed in his hands by
an East India missionary the formula

also positive and radical cure for
Nervous Debility and all Nervous
Complaints, after having tested its
wonderful curative powers in thou
sands of cases, has felt it his duty to
make it known to his suffering fellows.

The Secret.

In a village in Germany where the
number Of bees kept was regulated
by law, a bad season had proved that
the place was overstocked, from the
great weakness of all the colonies in
the neighborhood. There was but
one exception, that Of an old man
who was generally set down as being
no wiser than his neighbors. The
honey harvest came round, and when
he had stored away double the quaint
ity that any of the rest had saved, he
called his friends and neighbOrs to-
gether, took them into his garden
and said: eff you had been more
charitable in your opinions, | would
have told you my secret before, y and
he pointed to the facing of the hives
one degree more to the east than
was generally adopted. The sun
came upon his hives an hour or two
sooner by this movement, and his
bees were up and stirring, and had
secured Il large share of themorning's
honey before his neighbors' bees had
reused themselves for the day.

A whole animal carcass may be dis.
solved in the same way and the MI
trogen in the flesh all saved, and also
the ammonia which it will throw off
in decay. Mix the mass with fine,
dry muck, loan or plaster, and there
will be valuable manure, every par
ticle of which is worth more than the
commercial fertilizers, ton for ton.
The mass contains all of the proper
ties which the phosphates do, but
perhaps not in the same proportions;
but in most cases more quantity of
the valuable parts. If a farmer won't
take the trouble to dissolve the bones
as we have shown, they may be
burned in the kitchen stove. This is
a good way to dispose of all the bones
coming from the table, and let them
go in the ashes, and by this means
they may reach the land,
1t does not look well, to go behind
farmers house and see the scattered
bones of dead animals; nor to take
walk into the woods and be greeted
with the sight or smell of dead ami
NAL. tits better to bury them than
to do these ways; but the best plan is
to get load of brush and old wood
and reduce the flesh and bones into a
fertilizer and so clean the farm of all
such unsightly sights and unseemly
smells.

Home Phosphates.

Our Country Home.
Every farmer should savethe bones
which accumulate about the premi-
ses and on the farm. A great many
are foolish enough to let the bone
pickers gather them up and cart them
to the cities, where they sell them
for about cent a pound, and after
awhile the farmer buys them back
again mixed with ground rock or
pulverized clay, at two and half
cents a pound, in the form Of phos-
pilates. This is uot business. They
are worth more than this in the raw
state or as bones, and it is very easy
to put them in a form to benefit the
land at once. Gather lot of brush
and old wood and mix the bones with
this wood, and burn the whole mass.
Brush is better than large wood, as it
will not make so hot a fire or one to
burn so long.
1t does not take much fire to char
the bones, and this is all that's neces-
sary to make them brittle enough to
break up readily into fine particles.
A little of their strength is lost by
burning; some of the ammonia and
phosphoric acid will pass off, and
also the nitrogen in the gelatine and
flesh attached to them, but the phOs-
phate of lime, the main constituent,
will remain. After being burned
they are worth much more than the
purchashed phOsphates.
TO have all of the constituents, and
to put them into a soluble form, and
ready for immediate use as plant food,
the bones may be dissolved by i'm
mersing them in sulphuric acid dilu-
ted about three parts with water.
Put the bones in a tub, and pour on
the sulphuric acid (oil of VitriOD and
three times its bulk of water, and
then cover the mass until the bones
are soft. The sulphuric acid will
cause them to crumble, and then, by
mixing plaster or loan with them,
/ the ammonia will be fixed and saved,
and the mass put in a condition to be
utilized. There is nothing better to
rcnovate the old pastures and mead
oWS. Save all the bones, and when
/ prepared rs we have shown, give
the lands a sprinkle and the good eff
fleets will be seen at once. SulphuriC
acid is cheap. 1t must be handled
with care and not allowed to get on
the clothing or skin.

ing fair week, when the attention is
very much absorbed with fair mat
tiers. We have agricultural papers
enough, but their circulation in many
of the farming towns is very limited.
What is wanted is a farmes' club
in every town or business center,
where farmers come to market, or to
get their supplies, that they may have
opportunity for conference, for an
hour or two, on some topic previous
ly announced, and occasiOnalyeXhibi-
tons of fruit and vegetables, during
the summer and fall. In this way,
the best farmers, with their reading,
experiments and methods, would be
brought in close contact with those
who are in the background, and the
business of farming be made far more
attractive and profitable. Our census
statistics for the last thirty years show
"A steady drift of our population to-
ward the cities and villages. These
gain at the expense of the agricultu-
raj towns. The school house and
church in many of them are half emp
tied. There is no remedy for this de-
cadence but in the gospel of husband
ry, taught and illustrated by the farm
ers themselves, who should eXalt their
own calling.

ORCHARD GRASS.

Highland Rural Home.
The rapidly growing interest in the
cultivation of the grasses in the South
has brought into prominence, among
thenumerous varieties, DactylisGlOm-
erata, or orchard grass. This grass
is as widely distributed as almost
any other, being produced in all parts
of Europe, and in portions of Asia
and Africa. In England it was for
many centuries known as cocksfOot,
and was not appreciated as food for
cattle until sent to that country from
Virginia.
1t can be successfully produced in
the territory between 81 and AZ de
grees North latitude. Although par
tial to dry, porous or sandy subsOils,
it does well on the clay and gravelly
soils of the Highland Rim. On lean,
sterile soils it may be made to succeed
by the application of a little top dress
ing of well rotted manure.
During a moderately wet season in
this climate, it will yield from two to
three crops. 1t is one of the earliest
offspring grasses, and grows rapidly.
In this lies one of its chief merits, as
it affords early and luXuriant pastur-
age. 1t also remains green and af-
fords excellent grazing late in the
fall. 1t is very hardy grass when
well set, and supplies a rich, nutri-
tious hay. 1t comes into blossom
with red clover, and is therefore well
suited to grow with that plant, as
both are suitable for harvesting at
the same time.
Upon good soils it attains a hight
Of three feet; and upon very fertile
soils grows sometimes as much as
five feet high. 1t springs up rapidly
after being cut, sometimes growing
fully three inches in a single week, a
quality making it unsuitable for the
lawn, though Of high merit for graz
ing. 1t is inclined to grow in tufts
or tussOcks; but this may be largely
avoided by sowing a greater quantity
ofseed per acre. At least two bushels
GA pounds to the bushel) per acre
should he sOwn, and two and half
bushels would be preferable. The
tendency to stool may also be checked
by sowing other grass with the or
chard grass. A mixture of half gal
Ion clover seed, gallon of herds
grass with two bushels of orchard
grass would be suitable quantity for
an acre. In spring this should be
sown from the middle to the last OF
March. 1t should not be pastmed
before the latter partOf August, when
the plants have become well rooted
and the danger Of their being pulled
from the ground Is past.
Orchard grass grows we'll in the
shade, from which fact it derives ii,
name. But at the same time, itwith,
stands hot, dry weather better than
any other grass. Itmay also be soweC
in the fall with wheat or rye.
The production of grass is one o
the most important questions tha
demands the attention of the South
en farmer. ASS money making in
vcstment, it is good from whateve
standpoint it is viewed.
