CrOD ISpuOrt.

The October report of the United States
department of agriculture is at hand The
condition Of the corn crop has improved
since the last report, owing to warm weather
in September. The whole crop, however,
will be 300, 100000 bushels less than that Of
last year, it is estimated. In the states be-
You'd the Mississippi the returns will be
lowest.
In wheat there will be an increase of 10O-
100000 bushels over last year. The average
production is 1919 bushels to the acre. New
York yields II bushels to tho acre, the high
est average of any state; next comes Michi
gan, 1853 The lowest production per acre
comes from the states OF the northwest which
are supposed to be in the distinctively wheat
growing section. This ought to encourage
the small farmers in the older states.
The crops of oats, rye, barley and tobacco
are good.
Potatoes are rotting furiously, and more
insect pests than usual have invaded them
this season. This is probably because the
birds have mostly beerAilled off to adorn la
dies hats.
The cotton crop will be considerably larger
than last year.

weaken-as weaken they must through lack

change which fastens itself on any one bred
to become but piece of more intelligent
mechanism in ma hine-when through such
inertia and rust of mind she grows prema-
turely old-or in other words her powers,
both of mind and body, decay for lack of
proper exercise.
She will disappear as thousands of not so
much over-worked as rusted out workers do
here. They crawl away from public sight
and die in holes corners and garrets-die in
cumbrences on the hands of people as poor as
themselves. I knew Of such case few
weeks since, where consumption claimed its
victim, when long lingering illness wore
out the few who had any time, strength and
heart to give; where, internally, those so
worn out felt relieved at heart when death
ceased this strain on the living, and where

Winter Calves.

We like this advice: ~ would not like to
raise calves in winter without oil cake meal
l always allow calf to have it's mothers
milk until the milk is fit to use." There GER
tainly is nothing better for right young
calves than the first milk of the dam after
calvinS. Unless Il calf is extra stupid and
stubborn it can just as easily be taught to
drink at the end Of four or five days by
little starving, which quickens its wits won
derfully. The oil cake meal is also very
good thing in cold weather; not too much If
it; start with tablespoonful in half gallon
of milk, and increase the amount with the
amount of milk as the calf grows older. Be
sure and feed the milk and D.! cake warmed
up to blood heat, and then there will he little
danger of the calf getting tho scours. If she
does then put lime water in the milk Be
sure and take this dangerous disease in hand
in time if you want to save the calf. With
good, clean care the calves are easier to raise
in winter than in summer, when the flies are
SO annoying -American Dairyman.

Wintering Celery,

A smart Michigan farmer describes how he
successfully winters celery, He packed it
away the last of November as follows: Grasp
ing the stems in both hands, in such Il way as
to prevent injury to them, l beat the earth as
clean as could from tho roots. Then after
all defective stems had been pluclcd OF, the
plants were placed upright in bottomless
boxes (oId bee hives as conpactly aspossiblc
Next, about two-thrds of the foliage was cut
off, through fear that the celery was SO very
densely packed that it would sulfocatc and
rot Then, having inserted the nozzle If
tin funnel here and there through the tops of
the remaining foliage, silted quicksand, such
as used for making mortar, was poured into
the funnel till all the interstires between the
stems were filled up to the foliage. The boxes
were on the earth floor of dinly lighted
and cool cellar, where little frost
sometimes entered. Earth was banked
up around tho boxes three or four
inches; pailful or two Of water were poured
on to the sand in the boxes and the operation
was repeated every ten or fifteen days. 1t
was three mouths before the plants blan, he'd
and were in nice condition. The hearts were
solid by March Il, when they were sold AT
the time of digging, the small plants were
"heeled in i'll dark room or some cellar
against sloping earth. First, a tier of plants
was laid as closely as possible; then layer of
mellow earth sloping for second tier of
plants, and SO IN, earth anG plants alternately
We used these il tho family til May Some
of them We're wet once on twice with WATER
and these commenced rotting fist. The beat
ing of tho earth or tho roots allows the pack
ing of three or four tilcs as many in the
same space as with tho os.',h left OIL, and the
second experiment prov>s that u lighted ce.-
lar is not nee ssaiy. If tho plants coull he
kept cold nearly down to the freezing point
we probably could have celery till June or

and filled through the hatch, will hold from

boards, contain the hay; the NOW in the
west, and loft over threshing floor and sheep
shed, contain unthreshed grain. Spouts are
on each side of the roof, and all rain water is
conducted to tanks or puncheons, giving
sufficient supply for use in cooking and mix
ing feed.
Mr. Brown lays much stress on his root
'ceftar This is the English of it," Roots
for carrots, turnips ETC., are not so impor-

where corn will not grow.
Here corn, which is easily raised, largely
takes the place of the roots, which can only
be produced by painful, backbreaking pro-
cess. Roots must be raised to give variety
to the food OF our domestic animals, but that
i enough. Corn fed alone is constipating,
but still it may always be the main standby.

Frank Wilkeson knows how to catch frogs,
and here tells how it is done: ITO catch
frogs is simple, provided they have not be-
come wary ard timid through over much
hunting by small boys, who boot and howl
and throw stones at them, and aSsiduously
seek to CLUB them to death. Frogs are ever
hungry. They are cursed with appetites
which blunt their intelligence. They are
hasty in arriving at conclusions. Their in
tuition is invariably misleading. l suspect
that they are very near sighted, and perhaps
color blind. The crafty frogger takes an un.
fair advantage of the defects in their mental
composition, and ties TO pole line, one
end of which is fastened to a sharp fish
hook, which is concealed by piece
of red cloth. Armed with this SIM
pie outfit, and bag to hold his catch, he
walks slowly around the edges of the pond
looking for frogs. When he sees one that
suits him he bangles the red cloth in front of
its nose The frog, which is sitting partially
submerged on lily pad, and apparently alb
sorbed i'll profound thought, or in silent ad
miration of the glories of white and yellow
water lilies, wakes up to the realities of frog
life His eyes fly open. He braces himself.
and then. giving a quick, nervous jump,
which plainly says here is food to be had for
the catching" he seizes the aluring red rag
and the sharp hook, and, instead of catching
anything to eat, he is caught to be eaten"
