I noticed Thomas A. Venard in Ellis

that he sold eighty-nine of the Spauldine
corn binders last week. He says they
sell like hot cakes; that he has struck a
bonanza, he having only sixteen left out
of four hundred which he ordered four
weeks ago. Our farmers here have an
eye on these machines, and say they will
buy, if an agent comes. Your scribe
went to Mr.. Knapp's and secured one,
but he took five orders in going home. I
guess will give up the correspondence
to the World, and sell corn binders for
Knapp if can secure an agency.

MulChing Crops.
N, ]. 8. in Prairie Farmer.


With crops that are to be kept grow
ing during the summer it will often be
found quite an item to mulch after the
last cultivation is given. The principal
gain in mulching is that it keeps the soil
cooler, and retains moisture already in
the soil, so that a growth will be
maintained even when the weather is dry
and hot. Potatoes, vines of all kinds
tomatoes, melons, cucumbers and squash
are often materially benefited by apply
ing a good mulch, giving thorough culti-
walton whiIeitis considered necessary, and
then mulching. One of the best mate
rials that can be used for mulching this
class of plants is partially-rotted bagasse.
Apply good layer around each plant af-
ter thoroughly stirring the surface. Old
wheat straw, corn-stalks, or even weeds
and grass, are good materials to use for
mulching.
All of this class of plants require consid-
cradle moisture in order to make the best
growth and yield and in many cases it is
a choice between supplying moisture by
watering and mulching, and if thorough
work has done in giving clean cultivation
and the soil is in a good filth, the more
economical plan is to apply good mulch,
while, in addition to this, it is possible to
plant and grow crop much later than
could be done otherwise. In some locaG-
ties the risk of drouth is much greater
than in others; and where locality is
subject to drouth, it is difficult to secure
profitable crops when planted late, unless
artificial watering and manuring are sup
piled, in order that the plant may obtain
necessary moisture.
1t is best in applying a mulch to sup
ply in time before hot, dry weather fairly
sets in, as much better results can be
secured than if this is delayed until later
in the season. In addition to aiding to
retain moisture, a good mulch prevents
the growth of weeds, avoiding, to a con-
siderable extent, the necessity of late cul-
tivation.

There is more Catarrh in this section

supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years Doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,

cal treatment, pronounced it incnrahle.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tutlonal disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

The Grange aud Agriculture.
Prairie FRIGo.


The lecturer Of the National Grange
patrons of Husbandry, Washington, D.
c., in relation to farmers and business
pertinently talks as follows:
Farmers in the past have in their bust.
ness depended mainly upon muscle and
too little upon brains. They have worked
hard to produce crop, but have left
the business part of its distribution and
sale almost entirely in the hands of others.
The Grange is slowly, but surely, teach
ing the farmer that it is just as much a
part OF his business to sell crop as it is
to grow it, and that he should have as
complete knowledge as possible of the
conditions that affect markets at home and
abroad.
Go to leading manufacturer of wool,
iron, or of any article in general use, and
he can-mainly through statistics gath
cred through his organization-tell you
the whole business in that line almost
as minutely as he can the details of his
personal plant. How many are engaged
IN the production of the same article as
himself, amount of capital invested, out
put OF each and all collectively. Thesup-
ply and demand, the home and foreign
demand, percentage of tariff protection,
average wages, etc. In fact, he is thor
oughly posted, and his knowledge is pow.
or to advance his individual interests.
How many farmers have placed them
selves upon an equal footing with the
manufacturer or merchant in the Stats
tics OF their business? How many farm
ers can tell the number of farms in their
own country, the average cost acreage
any leading crop, number of head of ca.
tie sheep or hogs, the probable demand;
or even the cost of production upon his
own farm. In the old way did not ninety
and nine 'igo it blind" and trust to luck
and some one else, in these important
business matters?
