A good story of Gen. Rusk, the
present Secretary of Agriculture, is
told by the Ohio Farmer. Always a
practical farmer, Gen. Rusk, while
Governor Of Wisconsin, took great
interest in farmers institutes, which
he often attended and addressed. On
one occasion with his favorite topic,
clover, he discoursed at length on the
importance of growing clover seed,
and explained how the Australian far
mers had been unable to grow clover
seed until they imported bumble-bees
to fertiliEe the blossoms. After the
meeting two old farmers were discuss
ing the Governors farming ideas.
"Well," said one, ''if Uncle Jerry
saws IL, 80 1t must be so, but I'll be
hanged IL anyone else could have made
me believe that clover seed was moth
ing but humble bees eggs" Tho
speakers too vivid attempt to make
his hearers realize the importance of
the humble bee in securing clover seed
had evidently been wrongly inter
prsted-

Some surprising results have this year
been attained by potatoes nccidently
planted in a heap of coal ashes. The
frequent rains have kept the heap
moist, and the dsnse black green of
the potato vines has been the admira-
ion OF psssers-by all Summer. Now,
though the vines are still green, it is
found by careful digging into the hill
that the tubers are large and smooth.
As analysis shows very little II any
value of manure In coal ashes, IL looks
az If water and air had to be response
BILE for the crop. The potato is as is
well known nearly all starch, and this
q thrifty growth of leaves can supply
from the earbonio acid gas Of the at
mosphers. Rains probably brought
down enough ammonia TO supply
needed nitrogen, while the potash may
have come from wood kindhngs used
in lighting coal irea.

Some thirty years sgo winter barley
oame highly recommended as profit
able crop IN places where winter wheat
had then lately failed on account of
the weevil. It wss at this time quite
extensively grown nesr Cincinnati, in
Ohio, and also in Kentucky and Ten
nesses- But experience soon showed
that it could not stand severe freezing,
as wheat could, and after one years
trial its culture was abandoned. The
winter oats grown in some Southern
states are, we apprehend, equally
untitled for Northern climates The
truth is, the South cannot grow spring
oats or barley, as the grain rusts so
badly. BY sowing them in the fall
and trusting to luck 20 their wintering
safely, some kind of a crop may be
expected. There Is home use for all
and more than all the oats the South
can grow, but it can never compete
successfully with the North in growing
barley

Pumpkins are usually q stolen crop.
That is, they are planted In hills Of
corn or potatoes with the notion that
thus they can be grown without ex-
pense and without interfering with
anything else. This may be better
than not growing them at all, but they
pay better to plant them in . patch BY
themselves. Keep them clean until
they cover the ground, by which time
few weeds will start under their broad
leaves. The number Of pumpkins that
can be grown on a small patch Of rich
ground is astonishing, and there Is
always a good market for them in any
city OF large village.

to pare the fore feet level and shorten
them well at the toes- Then apply l2-
ounce shoes, which are bevelled at the
toes and shortened at the heels, so as TO
cover as little ground surface as posi-
bic. This will serve to quicken the
action in front. In treating the hind
feet they are also to be pared level

The Figures Show that the Number Is
Decreasing.
Reports received az the War Department
for the nine months beginning with the
fiscal year July /. 1889. show that there
have been 1875 assertions from the regular
army during that period For the corre-
spending months OF the previous year there
were 1893 deserters. The reduction this
year Is over 16 per cent. The percentage
of deserters TO the enlisted strength OF the
army has been for this period 6.1 per
cent; for the same period last year 1t was
T6 per cent. Secretary Proctor has taken
an active pers onal interest in the subject
and labored diligently to reduce the evil
with some show OF success. as the figures
show. In his annual report he showed that
1t was only partly question OF administra-
ton. but it was also legislation that was
needed. The House has already passed
bills in the line of the Secretarys sugges-
tons. and IL is believed that il the same
pass tie Senate and become laws it will
enable him 10 accomplish much more in
this direction. Not only is the prevalence
OF desertion demoralizing to the army. but
the expense il makes the Government in
recruiting and transporting new men
amounts TO a very large sum.
