Transplantlng is held by Mr.. L. G..
Brown, of Lyndeboro', N. H., not to be
detrimental to plants, and he declares
that practical experience upholds him.
lie cannot prove, as some assert, that
transplanting dwarfs plant, and finally
submits the question: "Where trans
planting gives double the amount Of
roots, will not the growth and fruit cor
respond! Then how is the plant in
jured"
It is not at all certain that the advice
to select corn for seed grown from stalks
bearing two cars is good. 1t is doubt
full whether we can get stalks strong
enough to produce more than one large
ear each, and if this were done the yield
of corn so grown would be phenomenally
large. In trying for two ears from o
stalk. we may only.get two of such small
size that the yield of grain would be less
and the labor of husking greater. Pop
corn and sweet corn may undoubtedly be
grown with profit on stalks containing
two or more cars.
Most farmers draw what manure they
have on their poorest land, thinking the
best rich enough to be proftably cropped
without it. The result is fairly good
crop from large acreage, but with low
prices, little if any more than the neces-
sary expense of growing it. The reform
here needed is getting the poorest land
in grass where it will be less expense,
and will be, however slowly, growing
more fertile. Then apply what manure
can be got on the best land, grow large
crops and use the profits on those in i'm
proving the remainder of the farm.
In lecture to English dairymen, Pro-
fessor Long referred to new outlet for
the utilization of skim milk which may
create large and constant demand for
it. This IS using it instead of water in
the manufacture of bread. Experiments
have shown that four-pound loaf made
in this way would require little more than
q pint of milk; most Of this is evaporated
in the process of baking, but it leaves in
the loaf at least two and half ounces of
the flesh-forming nutriment which the
milk contains; and bakers admit that it
adds to the tastiness of the bread, en-
CHANGING the value, so that the public
would probably appreciate the improve
ment
If you do not want Jumps to form in
the cows teats they must be MIXED out
clean and thoroughly squeezed to dis
lodge every particle of casein or butter
fat which may have adhered together.
If left in the udder teats it will be likely
to cause a callous to form around it and
stop up the passage to the teat. Careless
drying up of COWS is the chief cause of
Jumps and stoppages in the milk ducts.
Sometimes a bruise or Inflammation will
start lump, and as it irritates the lining
membrane a sore is started and the mem
branc is thickened and grows around it
and so forms callous bunch. There is
no cure. If rubbing the udder and the
insertion of q small tube will not remove
the obstruction in a cows teat nothing
will, that We know of.

A Blind Mail Carrier.

The mail route between Claryville, a
mountain hamlet in Sullivan county, n.
Y, and Big Indian, Ulster county, is
twenty-one miles long, and is through
the toughest and widest portion of the
Catskills. The road is so rough, in fact,
that the mail is carried on foot, and the
carrier is Clark North. who is totally
blind. He has carried the United States
mail over almost impossible Catskill
routes for thirty years, since he was a
boy, and has never seen any of the wild
region through which he has travelled.
His former route was in the wilderness
region between Shokan and Sampson
vile, at that time an almost unknown
country, frcqucnted only by hunters and
fishermen, yet the sightlcss carrier made
his trips three times week with the
regularity of clockwork. He travels his
present circuit of fortv-two miles three
times week, and has never missed a
day either in winter OF summer. Snow
drifts nor floods seem 10 be any barrier
to him. He has never met with an acci,
dent. In spite of his long Efe Of ex-
posure to rain, snow, cold, and heat he
is wonderfully vigorous in health. He
is walking encyclopaedia of the region
through which he travels.
Although unable to read, he industri-
ously gathers from others all information
on the current topics of the day, and, as
he never forgcts anything, is probably the
best informed person on general subjects
in that part of the Catskill region. Kind,
honest, industrious, reliable, no citizen
in this region stands higher in the esti-
nation of all Glasses than Clark North,
the blind mail carrier of the Catsdills.

Fresh Air for City Children.

A few years ago, lady, who owns
large farm near one of our great cities
in which there is an asylum for the deaf
and dumb, happened to pass the gate
one summer afternoon with q basket of
fern, pitcher plant and MOSES in her
hand. A class of boys who had just
returned from their daily march through
the streets, were entering, and seeing
the homely little blossoms, crowded
about her, talking together with waving
h.nds and excited fingers.
''It is so long since they have seen any
thing from the country" apologized the
teacher.
''Do they never 60 out of the city?"
asked the lady, as she distributed her
treasures.
'No; they are here for five years. They
60 out, as now, to walk every day. They
have a gymnasium for exercise. But
there is, of course, no money for country
excursions"
The lady went home, and consulted, heI
neighbors. They baked and boiled,
roasted chickens made sandwiches.
Their husbands contributed little
money. The next week the deaf and dumb
pupils marched to one of the stations.
How they talked! With eyes, hands,
arms, laughing faces, dancing feet,
everything but voices. Never were so
many happy peop'e tingling with life
from head to foot crowded in one car.
Never did the country give such rap
turous welcome to guests before. Tho
visit has been repeated every year since
then.
A gentleman, member of the Phila.
delphia City Council, happened once to
pass down an alley carrying chestnut in
its burr The street waits crowded about
him, but not one of them knew what it
was"
"Off a tree2" said one. 'I thought
nuts came in bar'ls"
"And in the park OF Philadelphia,
reflected the eCouncilman, "there arethou-
sands of nut-trees untouched"
He broke into the financial debates of
Council at the next meeting with the
astounding proposition that sum be set
aside each year for Nutting day; that the
children of the public schools on that
day be transported to the park, where
they should bag all the nuts they could
gather.
This impractical motion passed with
acclamation, and from that year the poor
children of Philadelphia have added a
holiday to their list, as dear as Christ
mas or the Fourth of july. YOUTHS
