Frank q. Carpenter says, in a letter
from Ireland to the Cleveland Herald:
| find the cabins Of the laborers in the
north of Ireland little better than
those of the south. Some Of them have
slate roofs, but altogether they are poor
affairs. hear of land here being rented
for $25 an acre per year on long leases,
md tits wonder to mo how the farmers
2an pay the rent and live. A Minnesota
traveller tells me he has an Irish son-in-
law, who has just rented twenty acres at
$45 per acre, at auction, and that the
man who rented it calculated that the
crop would pay the rent and he would
have the straw for his profits. "Straw,"
said this man, 'is worth from So to
$40 ton here, and that will enable
him TO make something off tho invest
mcnt.n
This gentleman remarked upon the in
jury which Ireland would receive
through the shipping into England of
Australian meat. Said he: 81 saw Aus
tralian mutton selling in London for
five cents a pound, AMI I understand
that a ship lately arrived with a cargo
of 60, 600 frozen sheep. These sheep
are killed in Australia, and arc carried
to England in rcfrigcrators. Australia
is the great sheep country of the world,
and it has about eighteen sheep to every
inhabitant. America has less than one
sheep to each inhabtant. If American
meat has hurt Ireland, Australian meat
will do it greater damage"

Every farmer should prevent the kill

cheap shot-guns pepper away at every
thing with wings; and when the birds
are dead the insects eat up the farmers
produce.
Fruit that cannot be sold may be
dried, cvaporated, made into cider for
vinegar, or jelly. In this manufactured
form it can be kept as long as ncces-
sary and sold when fair price can be
secured.
Seeds of pcrcnnials often terminate
slowly, and they should he sown where
they can be seen daily and the soil kept
moist. After sowing and watering it
is we'll to give mulch of short grass,
which will keep the soil from drying out.
Sow the seeds in fine, light soil, and if
possible in n place somewhat shaded.
A cold frame is best for such seeds.
Where climbing roses do not bloom,
other conditions being correct, we
should practice root pruning. Before
laying down the stems in the fall, dig
trench around the plants about four
feet away from the base and cut off the

too luxuriant growth, this operation will
check it. When blooming has once
commenced that will probable tax the
strength of the plant so as to restrain its
excessive vigor.
A correspondent has trouble with her

pounds of nitrogen, n pounds of phos-

with large quantity of lime. 1t is sup,
posed, and is commonly taught, that the
clover is not hard upon the soil, and gets
its nutrimcnt from some obscure source,
Or, in point of fact, from anywhere but
the soil. This, however, is great mis-
take, as the above figures show, and as
farmers who try to grow clover often
find to their sorrow and disappointment.
For the land is "covcr sick" as it is
termed, just as it becomes wheat sick,
or corn sick, or potato sick, that is, it is
too weak and exhausted to mature Il
crop. The clover starts well and the
small plants look promising, but in two
weeks one is astonshcd to fud the clover
has disappeared, II has died of storva-
ton and for want of food. The only
