FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Level Culture versus Hilllnr Up.


The old system Of killing up vegeta-
bles with conical-shaped hills, the plant
forming the apex or vertex of the hill,
30 much in vogue for generations past,
needs to be relegated to the limbo of
departed absurdities, never to be resur-
rected while the sun shines and water
runs, says w. r. Norris in the Indiana
Farmer. Like many other errors it
has held on tenaciOusly, handed down
from father to son and grandson, and
Is even now very slow in relaxing its
grip on the minds and habits of men.
There might be some excuse in the
early settling up of this country for the
hilling-up process when the soil was
saturated with superabundance OF
moisture, and it was desirable to rid
the vegetables of that extra dampness
by draining it away from the plants,
but that season has long since ceased
to exist, for the country is cleared up,
the ground is amply drained by open
and tile bitches, and plants nowadays
often suffer more from a want OF mols-
ture than from excess of it; hence it
behooves us now to seek a better
method of culture and to adopt that
method which is best suited to the con-
dition of our soil and climate.
With that object in view 1 have ex-
perimented to some extent, and have
found the following method decidedly
successful, to wit: Instead of making
a cone-shaped hill around my plants /
make a good sized basin-shaped circle
OF well-hoed ground around each
plant or hill of plants so as to leave
the plants in the center of the basin
and in the lowest part thereof, in Or
der that it may catch and hold all the
rain and dew that fall, and, in case OF
a dry spell supervening and it becomes
necessary to water the plants with a
sprinkling-pot late of evenings or
early of mornings, no water is lost, as
it would he if poured or sprinkled on
cone-shaped hill, which would natural
ly run the water away from the roots
instead of to the roots, where it is
needed.
Stirring the soil deeply next to the
plants by using n small, long bladed
hoe, a narrow-bladed spade, spading
fork or even an ordinary butcher-knifc
is much better for onions, radishes,
beets, turnips, potatoes or indeed any
kind of vegetable that grows in our
fields and gardens than the old plan Of
killing up. All plants grow from the
inside out, and it is our duty to aid
their roots by loosening and pulveriz-
ing the soil next to them, so as to give
them fair chance to grow rapidly and
develop large roots, bulbs or tubers
without wasting their energy in con-
contending against the compression Of
circumferential walls of compact soil.

The Great Man i'm Oklahoma.

From the hills OF Tennessee,
From the jungles Of Missouri,
From Topeka
And Watseka,
Kalamazoo and Kankakee,
They went tearing down in fury
And grab is the game
In stalking a claim.
The hero of all
Is the man with gall
The son of a gun
Who enjoys the fun,
Who'd give q COB for the job
OF playing hob with q mob;
The gusheS the rusher.
The tenderfoot crusher;
The roarer and ranter,
Instanter in banter,
Sure of the flop of his pop,
Always on top in the drop;
The dasher and crasher,
Particular slasher,
And woolly-eyed CASHIER;
The whooper and shorter,
The ask-f no quarter
The Boomer!

The Morgan Horses of To-Day.

During the years when the present
generation of active horsemen were
mostly in their cradles or yet unborn,
the Morgans were having their "boom."
That wonderful family. which descend
ed from horse whose pedigree has
never been ascertained, absorbed a
greater amount OF interest than was
ever felt in any other family until that
OF Rysdyk's Hambletonian came into
the field. The Morgan's well deserved
all the popularity they ever enjoyed.
Hardy, docile, intelligent, spirited, true
as steel and finely built, they combined
more good qualities for general pur-
poses than any other family of horses
ever known in this country. But they
were small, rarely exceeding one thou
sand pounds, although their fine quail
ity OF bone and fiber compensated in
some degree for lack of weight. There
was another serious lack in the eyes OF
American horsemen, that Of speed.
Although they could make long jour
neys In day, none OF them ever trot-
ted single mile within the phenomen-
ally short time which has been shown
by some horses of other strains. Yet
the Morgan was and is essentially a
trotting family in the sense that trot-
ting action Is innate In its representa-
tives American Agricultural

The IS Flour'' of Successful Drummers

There are many older men and more ex-
perienced ones ON the road, but when it
comes down to counting up orders Mr..
Charles j. Aston "gets there with the
best of 'em. He went out week before last
and in days his sales amounted to 1,106
barrels of flour. Pretty good we should
say. There are two ways to account for
this: In the first place Mr.. Aston is
"hustler,'' and in the second place he has
good article to push: He represents the
celebrated Yaeger FIGURING Mill Co., of
Carlinville, ILL.,, which turn out the finest
article of the kind in the country. This is
an old established concern, founded in
1885, and located as the mills are in the
best winter wheat section of the great
wheat producing State of Illinois, and re-
ceiving their supplies direct from the farm
ers. enables them to furnish -four absolute
ly uniform in quality, failing with a
great many mills as the trade knows.
They use the Hungarian roller system,
and have capacity of 500 barrels per day.
Their leading brands are: Patent-Royal
Lily, Golden Keys, Tip Top, Queen Of
West, Jay Eye See Extra Fancy-White
Silk, Old Gold, Moss Rose, Our Best. King
Bee Fancy-Red Bird, True Love, Purity,
Pavilion, all of which Mr.. Aston quotes
at lowest prices. His goods have given
great satisfaction wherever introduced, to
both dealers and consumers.
