SMALL fruit raising for market may
not pay many farmers situated incon-

who owns an acre Of land should
raise sufficient for his own family use.
THE labor required in farming is be-
coming less irksome each succeeding
year, on account Of the help derived
from labor-saving machinery, and tbs
farmer who does not avail himself OF
this aid is behind the times
If every farmer would make it a
rule to pay no money without taking
a receipt, buy no property without
having the title examined by compe
tent authority, and to sign no papers
for strangers, sharpers would have
fewer victims.

Novel Corn-Planting.

The means used in planting corn in
the semi arid Kansas belt enables that
region to raise good crops OF the great
fattening grain Of the United States.
1t is by means Of the Listing pillow,
which throws the soil into high ridges,
the middles being deeply pulverized in
: addition. In the trenches the corn is
planted down in the permanently
moist soil of the trenches, these being
filled Up in the process of cultivation.
This trench, as plowed, is V-shaped,
and sixteen inches deep. Until the
corn gets strong, an inverted trough
covers the rows as the cultivatOr
passes, preventing plows from rolling
the soil over the plants. When the
cOrni is ready for the second cultivation
the trough is laid aside. The shOvels
plants, now strong and two feet tall,
and they are also set to take the
ground deeply. This cultivation
throws almost all the earth into the
trench that thelist threw out. The
weeds are deeply buried. The surface
of the field is level. The main roots
of the corn plants are at least ten
inches below the surface of the ground,
and how much further they have sunk
into the rich, damp, underlying ground
no one knows. But now no ordinary
drought affects the plants. The hot
southwest winds can blow, the mercury
can rise until theintegrity OF the Their
mometer is threateneu, the sun can
course across a cloudless sky for weeks,
but the corn leaves do not roll. The
plants thrive, and, if soaking rain
falls between the middle of June and
the middle of July, the listed corn will
make a full crop. Prank Wilkeson in

A"Glimpse of the Seine."

People are often heard to say that
they can Crust their own eyes" But a
convincing proof is given below that
even our own eyes may sometimes
play false. A correspondent writes:
We were stretched out on the bluff
this morning, here on the Cote de
Grace, gazing with quiet contentment
upon Havre, the ocean, and the beau
tiful Bay of ST. Sauveur, when we
made acquaintance of q young English
artist. Speaking OF our recent tour,
he remarked:

particularly the vista you have in the
curve of the road leading from St.
Waudrille to Caudbec."
We looked at him in surprise.

How to Cure BaIky Horses.

A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman gives a recipe for the cure OF q
balky horse, which may be well worth
trying: 'EWhen a horse balks IN O.
wagon, cart or carriage | have him
taken out, harness taken off, except
the bride, boy or man put on the
animals back, with instructions to
make him move lively for ten minutes
I'D and down the road. At the ex-
piration Of that time [ put on the
harness and hitch up, and the animal
goes all right. 1t may haveto be done
once or twice more, whenever the
hitch-up after meals takes place. A
farmer near me last summer had a
nice young 4-year-old horse, which
worked steadily from spring till mid
summer; then the horse, having had a
long rest, when put to work again re-
fused to draw. He tried him some
DAYS, and then told me that he was
going to send that horse to Baltimore
to be sold, because it would not work.
told him what to do. Three days
after I saw him again and he said that
he followed my directions, and the
horse worked all right. There is no
use to beat or otherwise 1l-treat a,
balky horse The simplest and best
way is to do what I have recon-
mended, as all horses willg under the
saddle, and some OF the mettle IS tax
en- out Of them during theride. [ have
seen horses strapped and thrown
down several times in succession, and
yet they did not go. Anew York man
living in this section three years ago,
IF his boTSp would not mil WOul6 Jerk
Once | went out and offered to buy
the old horse to save it from such
cruelty, but he would not sell. The
favorite resort with most farmers is
a good, long, hickory switch, one man
to hold the pillow and a boy to use the
switch, which is kept very busy.

Sheep Breeding for Profit.

Increased vigor and development
usually, perhaps invariably, result
from crossing breeds, and this I'M
provement is greatest where highly
bred male is coupled with females OF
inferior breeding. This is so well I'M
derstood in England that the most of
their mutton sheep are cross-bred.
The Leicester ram is used with CheviOt
ewes, and the Downs with Cotswolds
and Leicesters. In this country our
so-called native" ewes give profitable
returns when mated with almost any
pure bred ram Of mutton breed, the
best results being obtained when the
right sort of a Down ram is used.
But in the next cross only
half as much improvement is
obtained, and so on with each
succeeding generation the necessity
for a thoroughbred male increases.
While cross-bred male might have
done well in the first instance, he would
be an injury afterward, and would
cause a retrogression in the progeny.
When ewes are saved until they be-
come three-fourths or -eighths
pure, they should then be crossed with
pure ram of some other breed to OBJ
tain the best results. For profit, there
is nothing better than the annual re-
neWal of the flock of breeding ewes. A
proper selection of native ewes will give
greatly improved lambs by Downs
ram, and by good feeding they can go
to the butcher at profit, soon after
their lambs have given return of $50
or 200 per cent, upon the original cost
of thefock. This can be repeated year
after year, but, while this may be the
f1ockmaster's rule, ne should modify
it so far AS to retain such ewes as are
of special value, either because of their
individual excellence or the remarka-
BILE resemblance of their lambs to the
pure-bred sire, or their superior milk
ing qualities. To furnish the males for
this system it is necessary that there
should be a sufficient number of pure
bred fiOcks in the country to supply
the demand. Theproper breeding and
care Of such focks require more ex-
pense and skill than most farmers can
give, and they can much better afford
to pay a reasonably high price for q
pure-bred ram from flock of known
quality than to attempt to breed him
themselves or to accept cross-bred
ram as a gift.

Wood Ashes.

Unleached ashes contain all the re-
CURED elements of plant nutrition, ex-
cept nitrogen. One hundred pounds
of wood ashes contain sixteen pounds
Of potash, worth eighty cents; three
and a half pounds of soda, worth two
cents; sixty-seven pounds of lime and

three quarters pounds Of phosphoric
acid, worth twenty-six cents. In

But this fact is founded upon the sup
posed fact that free access OF air will
assist in carrying off surplus moisture,
and prevent heating and fermentation,
which supposed fact is not 3 fact at

hay. When this uncured grass Is IN
thin layers on the field and exposed
to the air, the moisture Is carried Off
so rapidly as not to permit any heat

in thick body in NOV, the heat

The oxygen of the air feeds the termen-

cause of it's destruction. This prlncl-
pie is familiar to the good housewife
who preserves her fruit in an alright

to keeping green clover. We took a.

filled it with green clover just IN bios
