AN UNFORTUNATE CONVERSATION,

The latest notion in the hoodoo line is

AGRICULTURAL NOTES,

There is no excuse for farmers scrub
stock.
Mr.. Olcott says in the Connecticut
Courant that every great city builder is
only a smart farmer with great means
for development.
The OIL, Paint and Drug Reporter says
that considerable many inquiries have
been made concerning the fertilizing
quality of copperas.
A man must believe in farming il he
would succeed, says the Maine Farmer.
With faith in the work, application and
business tact all will be well,
The American Garden says on the
continent of Europe rose fruit is held in
high esteem for pickles, preserves, sauce
and various other culinary purposes.
A German article reprinted in the
Medical Record advocates the use of
sour milk and buttermilk as cheap, eff
fectiye and assimilable nutritiye agents,
The Farmers Friend says that for
some unaccOuntable reason, people haye
become imbued with the idea that no
person is fit to be member of Congress
unless he be a lawyer.
The Rural Vermonter says there is
greater individuality of character and
difference Of ability among farmers than
any other class, and therefore no portion
of our people are less capable of being
classed under one head than farmers.
j. H. Hale says that the curl in peach
leaves is much more prevalent this season
than usual. He says there is no danger
of permanent injury to the trees and
recommends a light application OF nj
trate of soda or some other form Of nj
trogen.
The Maine Farmer says that practical
experience seems to show that cheese
making by the factory system is not
generally adapted to the situation in
which Maine dairymen are placed, But
the editor of the paper believes that dur
ing the hot weather of early summer
and the low prevailing price of butter,
milk can be worked into cheese to bring
more money than if used for huttor.
The farming of the future must be
gradually contracted in the number OF
acres. Higher cultivation, more re
munerative crops. Less hard work over
broad fields and closer attention to spec
ial paying crops on the fields that sur
round the house. More pasture, more
stock and plenty of ensilage, this insures
the purchase of lees commercial fertill-
yer and the very best results from the
contents of the barn yard Maryland
