FACTS FOR FARMERS.
Hints to the Tiller Of the Soil and the
Stock Raiser.
The Old Subject Of Flowing is Always in
order-How Cuttings May be PrOpagated
Horse Breeders Should Pay Attention to
Roadsters for Profit.

might we'll be said, instead of LAS
we SOW, etc, for the sowing includes
the blowing first OF all. When the
seed falls on good ground, that is.
well-prepared soil, then it yields the
largest return to the farmer. As
rule, the blowing of American farmers
is defective. The English farmers pay
far more attention to this work than
We do. The boys are carefully trained
to do the best kind OF work. They
must 60 by line and rule, to make
perfectly straight burrows and turn the
land to an even depth. The land can
not be we'll plowed any other way.
And the English farmers have blowing
matches every year in every village
and hamlet, in which the young men
compete for valuable prizes, while the
successful competitors among the hired
men are never in want of good places
and get the highest wages. 1t is con
sidered good blowing if man can see
a rabbit hidden in a furrow so rods
away and be able to shoot it with a
rifle, sighting along the furrow; and
every foot of the furrow is turned to
an exactly even depth. The furrow
slices then lie in parallel rows of even
width, and when the surface is har-
rowed one may push cane down any
where through the mellow soil the
same depth without striking a hard
spot.
American plows will do better work
than the English plows if they are as
well handled. Our plows are short in
the mold board, with sharp curve,
and in passing through the soil they
turn 1t sharply, breaking and crum-
bling it so that the burrows can scarce
ly be seen, and little narrowing only
is needed to fit the land for the seed.
Such blowing should always be DONE

Many plants may be promulg ated
with ease from cuttings, provided one
knows just how to proceed. The pots
and soil. or cutting. bed, should be
made ready beforehand, so that slips
may be promptly placed therein as
soon as cut The best cutting is a
shoot of new growth, just before it
grows woody at all or fibrous, but wi II
snap off clean without strings. This
should have three buds, though one
leaf and leaf bud will start in good
care. Roots start from the bud at the
base of the leaf sooner than from any
other part. Take off all leaves for an
inch or two, and stick the cutting in
sand to the lowest bud. The essential
thing is to keep cuttings entirely fresh
till planted by setting in water, or,
what is better, wrapping them lightly
in @ moist cloth. The loss of their
sap by evaporation before or after
setting is their death. Boxes three
inches deep, half filled with sand and
a light mixture of fibrous soil or leaf
mold, faced off with an inch of pure
sand, make good cutting beds when a
number are to be struck, as with
coleus, alternantheras and bedding
plants generally, when one wants
plenty to use and some to give away.
For few cuttings the best thing is a
six-inch flower pot, the drain hole
plugged with cork, two inches of
broken bits of crock laid in, and a
porous pot, half the size or less, set
within the larger one and kept full of
water. Between the rims of the two
pots, which should be on u level, the
space is filled with sand, in which the
cuttings are set against the outer rim
and well wet. The draining from the
inside pot of water keeps the cuttings
always moist, and they hasten to root.
Sand is best, being easy for the tender
root thread to enter and free from de-
caying particles, which in soil cause
cuttings to rot at once. But when the
first roots are made known by the
freshening of the terminal bud or
shoot of the cutting, Immediately pot
or change to richer soil that has food
for the plant, or it will loose strength.
Prompt planting must be given.

Action of MiIdew ON Cotton Fabrics

Owing to its comparative freedom
from impurity cotton may be stored for
a long period without undergoing any
change, more especially if it is bleached
and kept dry. When, however, it is
contaminated with added foreign or
ganic matter, such as starch, gum, ETC.,
(as in finished calicoes), and then ex-
posed to moist, warm atmosphere
it is very liable gradually to become
tender or rotten. This is owing to
the growth of vegetable organisms of a
very low order called mildew, These
fungi feed upon the starchy matters
present, inducing the decomposition,
and after some little time the cotton
fibers themselves are attacked. The
simultaneous production of crenic,
humic, ulmic and other organic acids
may probably assist somewhat in the
rendering process.---New York Tele-

Secretary I. S. Gold of Connecticut
says that apple trees should be planted
two rods apart in one direction and
forty feet in the other. He says he
never planted an orchard with trees so
far apart that he was sorry he had got
them SO far, but he has planted many
orchards where he has been sorry he
had got them SO near together. An
apple tree will grow very large, and
will spread long distance in good
soil. 1t is the large. spreading, we'll

Clay Soil for Penrs.

Land that is too heavy for ordinary
farm crops if sufficiently dry may yet
make good pear land. The only diff
ficulty with clay soil is that If I'M
drained it is apt to hold stagnant
water, and that will kill any tree ex-
cept perhaps willow. When drained
the pear roots will run down deeply
into clay soil. and thus be mainly ex-
.empt from those sudden changes OF
temperature that are often the predis-
posing cause OF blight, Another rea-
son why pears thrive on clay soils is
that such land is usually rich in miner

However it may be with ducks in
their wild state. when domesticated
they are very tender, and liable to chill
from wet or cold. 1t is quite likely
the wild ducks often thus perish, for
the duck is exceedingly prolific, and it's
increase can bear much wastage that
the successful poulterer should avoid.
A good rule In feeding young ducks is
never to give them water except to
drink until five or six weeks old. nor
even then il the weather is chilly.

In lighting a kerosene lamp, never
touch the wick with the match, as it
has tendency to roughen or spread
it. Keep the wick turned down below
the top of the burner, except when in
actual use. if you would not have oil on
the outside of the lamp.
If preparing lard for summer use,
add one pound of beef suet to every ten
pounds of lard; this keeps it hard and
firm. To clarity drippings, slice raw
potatoes (without paring) and fry until
brown and your grease will be free
from any unpleasant odor
IL dampening clothes for ironing,
use warm water as hot as you can bear
the hand in. sprinkle fine, fold smooth
and roll up tight. and they will iron
much easier. The hot water pene-
trates more readily ana you do not
need to dampen so much as with cold
water.
After cooking a meal a person will
feel tired and have no appetite. For

refreshing, and helpful to one who has
little or no appetite.

Castor oil is the best emollient for
harness. 1t softens the leather and
prevents cracking, and preserves it

Give young colts oats as soon as they
will eat them. By running with the
dam they soon become accustomed TO
everything about them, and are not
frightened SO easily afterwards. But
in the large horse stall small box at
one corner should be fixed for the colts
oats. Two parts of bran and one of
corn meal make good substitute for
oats.
Turpentne is Il specific remedy for
parasitic worms, such as produce dis

for the chicks, and give a teaspoonful
in little linseed oil to the calves and
half as much to the lambs, when
troubled with these thread worms.

Nicholas Miller, squatter on land be-

killed last evening by a man known only as
Johannes. Until within the last year all the
land described was cultivated as a garden farm
by Miller and various members Of his family.
Recently Seventy-frst street has been opened
to the river. and some buildings have been be-
gun on Seventy-second street. This has
diminished the farm by about one-half. and
several ramshackle buildings disappeared
accordingly. The tract left free was cult

1t was difficult last evening to determine the
