Peas and beans do not mix, and if
planted in alternaterows any number
of varieties of either may be grown
without risk of crossing and spelling
the seed.
For cabbage and cauliaower theland
can hardly be made too rich. Cons
mercial manures suit these crops bet
ter than they do many others, and
may be applied at the rate of 1000
pounds to the acre.
Pluro-pneumonia has again broken
out in the herd OF Jersey cattle belong
ing to Mr.. Bailey of Peoria, III. His
is one ofthe herds in which the disease
played such havoc last autumn. The
fresh outbreak confirms all that has
been said about the insiduous nature
OF this disease, and DR.. Paaren, state
veterinarian, has determined to have
the entire herd condemned and slaugh-
tered as the only means of stamping
out the disease.
The usual good-for-nothingness OF
testimonials, ever when they are not
forged, is well illustrated by DR.. Buck
ley OF the Christian Advocate: "a
minister allowed the agents of sew
en- lightning rod companies to put
their rods on his large house. The
writer saw the rods, and was credibly
informed that he had given each agent
q certificate that he believed his rod
protected the house. 1t was impos-
sible for the old gentleman without
ommiscience to know which rod did
the business, if any did. But he has Il
very kind heart, and a disease called
cacotethes scribendi."
The most frequent pests which infest
cabbages are the small lice andthegreen
worms. These are both destroyed by
Persian insect powder. Fine air.
Stacked lime will kill the lice, but not
the worms. The kerosene emulsion
will destroy both, and will not iniure
the cabbage unless it is nearly mature.
This is made by mixing one pint of
kerosene oil or of crude petroleum
with II gallon of strong soft soap
suds and churningit into well-minsled
emulsion. Hand picking of the worms
once u day is u good plan where the
plot is small.
Canada thistles cannot be killed,
when they have taken possession OF
the ground, extept by a bare ta!low
for one year. An excellent way OF do
ing two good things at once is to pillow
the ground in May after scattering
corn over it, about three bushels per
acre, and turn it over about 3 inches
deep with a flat furrow; the pillow
should have a sharp share. When the
corn il knee high In July turn all I'M
der again and harrow in more corn,
and pillow that in when knee high in
August; then SOW a pound OF turnip
seed per acre and pillow the turnips I'M
der in November.
The Prairie Farmer advises It's read
ers never, when buying a farm, to take
a quit-claim deed when they can get II
warranty deed. The man who gives u
quit-claim deed virtually says: II
don't know whether | own this farm
or not, but youmay have all myrisht,
title and interest in it," and the man
who takes it reasons: ''Ill takethisa at
a venture, and run my chances of get
ting something ornothing." Thequit-
claim deed lacks all the Covenants"
which make the strength OF the war
ranty deed.
The most comfortable and fastest
way | know is to take a roll in q lum-
Der wagon. make II end fast to the
posto tree at the starting point, and
then drive on, paying out fromtheroll
asyou go. When you get far enough
take q wagon-jack and jackupthe hind
wheel of the wagon and take IL turn or
two OF wire around the hub, and with
one man holding the wire while an
other turns the wheel, youwili find you
have power enough to stretch the
wire all it will bear almost any dis
tance you desire. Make fast your end
and turn around, and pay out an
other strand back as you Cos. b.

Township fairs are acknowledgements
Der yearly and have many advan-
tages. There is little or NO expense,
especially where the premiums are
paid in honorary certificates, which
are better for thepurposethanmoney.
The families are nearly all known to
each other, although those Which at
tend different churches may seldom
meet. This makes all the more rea-
son why there should be one day OF
the year for a general turnout and as
sembly of all-both sexes and all ages,
with samples of their productions, de-
sirable novelties, stock to show, or to
tell, and q general exchange OF ideas,
discoveries, and everything else ex-
changeable to the general and mutual
benefit OF all parties.
