lUMPY LAND,

A New York farmer says. There is no
land arabic that will break up in Jumps
when first brought under cultivation but
all heavy soil will become hard and tena-
cious if plowed or trodden when wet. or
if exhausted of humus or vegetable mat
ter. But when lands are left in clods af-
ter the pillow it is often a tedious labor to
bring the surface into good filth in dry
season. / have used several implements
for such work, but none were effective
without much labor. a heavy iron roll
Ter, small in diameter, or a small log roll
Ter of hard wood loaded heavily, and fol-
lowed with sharp Scotch harrow. is
about as effective as anything I have
tried; a large drum roller has but little
effect, as it brings too much surface to
the ground. a 6uted or spiked iron roll
Ter is doubtless best. but have not used
it. Rolling and narrowing must be re-
peated till the Jumps are reduced. A log
drag, constructed by splitting an oak log
about six feet long, and boiling a tongue
on the flat side and dragging it on the
round side, is effective; also plank drag
made of three heavy planks Tapped, one
some six inches upon the other, and bolt
ed together, with tongue so attached as
to bring the three corners of the blanks
to the ground, will do effective work af-
ter the large clods are broken.
The disk harrow, if the Jumps are not
too hard, will do good work; but by
whatever means it may be done, much
labor is required to bring such land into
condition for the seed have some
times found it necessary to break Jumps
with beetle, or an old dull axe, which
is as good when only some spots in
field were lumpy. In field was fitting
for wheat, few years ago, was a corner
of about one acre of heavy clay soil, and
having been ploughed in spring rather
wet, it broke up when dry so coarse that
harrow or roller would make little i'm
preston upon it. | set one man to work
breaking Jumps with an axe and others
rolling and narrowing after; in about
two or three hours the plot was made
fine and sown to wheat, which produced
as good crop as any part of the field.
yielding throughout about 80 bushels per
acre. have known good crops of wheat
to grow on ground left very lumpy, the
Jumps being dissolved by the frosts of
winter, giving fine mellow soil for the
summers growth, but a thorough farmer
prefers to get a fine seeded before SOW
ing the seed. which is always for spring
crops necessity, and for winter wheat

THE HIRED MAN.

Thi is the day when ''the hired man.
who is engaged to work on farm for the
season reports for duty. provided, of
course. that there is somewhere a farm
on which such a relic of a bygone age as
the hired man is to be found this wear.
What an institution he used to be in the
days when we were young. a thorough
bred Yankee; not a drop of imported
blood in his veins; strong and 1.-THE and
active and tireless; intelligent and fairly
well educated; skilled in business. and. as
a rule. industrious beyond the belief of
this ten-hour generation. From the time
he drove his axe into the wood-pile in the
door-yard on the lst of April until the
close of the season, after harvesting. he
expected to work, and he did work-not
from sun to sun, but from dawn to dark
ness. and then did the milking and fed
the pigs afterwards. His day was II, 10,
even l6 hours long, and it never occurred
to him that it should be shorter. He was
no specialist. He could do anything He
was smart with the scythe, handy with a
hoe, cute with cradle and experienced
with an axe. He knew how much grain
and grass seed were required to the acre,
when grass was fit to cut and when it
was dry enough to ''go in" and he did
not need to be told when to drop tur-
nip seed in the corn field or how to
put corn in the shock. He could build
wall, make cider, single the barn, make
a hay rack or doctor sick hog. 1t was
safe to leave him to work alone. And he
got for his services TO- u, possibly 10
dollars a month for eight months. and
saved 81 of it. Then, when he had
worked eight or ten seasons and accumu-
lated few hundred dollars, he probably
married "the hired girl who had been
at work for dollar a week and saved
half that, bought Il farm, got out of debt
little by little, educated his children and
sent them to the city to preach or prac-
tice law, or work in the store or shop,
while he stayed on the old homestead and
saw it grow up to bushes.-[ Mirror and

The Chicago Times has been making
extensive crop Investigations in the
Northwest, and is authority for the state
ment that farmers in practically every
section of the Northwest outside of the
confines of the great Red river valley,
which is one vast wheat field, are paying
more attention to the raising of coarse
grains and less to wheat than usual.
The effect of this will be to diminish the
spring wheat acreage and increase the
area devoted to barley, fax and oats, and
in the Southern ATTITUDES to corn.

HOW OTHER NATIONS SECURE
FOREIGN TRADE.

Within the present year arrangements
have been made in England for granting
extensive subsidies to steamship lines in
the Pacific ocean in connection with the
Canadian Pacific railroad. SO far as the
routes to New Zealand and Australia were
concerned the crown colonies were eX-
pected to offer subsidies by which the
San Francisco mail service might be bro
ken up. But in order to establish new
steamship route 70 China and Japan,
England has agreed to pay $4,000 for
monthly mails, and 100000 for fort
nightly service, provided Canada supplies
$4,000 or 100000 for the same object.
This 100000 is in addition to a subsidy
of 81, S25 900 awarded this year by the
British government to the Peninsular and
Oriental company for mail communica-
lions with the far East by the Suez canal
and the Cape. This is the English meth
cd of building up merchant marine and
of developing foreign trade. Why do
American free traders like Secretary La
mar and Cheap-Jack reformers like Mr.
Holman oppose the same system here?-

Pure Water as a Medicine.

DIR. Brunton says that water is, per-
haps, the most powerful diuretic we
possess. 1t has the power of creating
tissue change, and thus multiplying the
products of tissue waste which result
from it, but it removes these waste
products as fast they are formed and
thus, by giving rise to increased appetite,
provides fresh nutriment for the tissues
and acts as true tonic. In persons who
are accustomed to take too little water
the products of tissue waste may be
formed faster than they are removed,
and thus accommodating, may g to
