Bright, iocund April comes to us today.
Laden with tower-bells bursts of songs and
showers;
violet fragrance hoyers DER the way,
While children frolic in her golden hours
Brooks, too, glance by, all sparkling in the sun,
Glad that ice fetters to the wings are flung.
The violet loves her, and the bloodruot white
With pink arbutus, soon will be ablow:

VIII llnger meath the moonlight s witching glow,
While Boreas sinks away, with sullen sigh,
As lovely, tlower-crowned April passes by.

Miss Hemenway's Life and Work Ia
Chicago.

The Chicago Tribune in an extended no
tice of the late Abbie Maria Hemenway, who
died recently in that city, SAYS that since
removing TO Chicago she had issued one
volume, the fifth of her Gazetteer of Yer
mont and was at work ON the sixth
when she died. In the second story of a
little cottage she had two rooms. The
front one, being the brighter, she fixed up
as a printers composing room, and there
she daily worked at the case, putting into
type the sentences of her history which
she had written during the night, and she
not only set up her own copy but she got it
into forms ready for the printer whom
sine had employed down town. In this
manner she was gradually completing her
work aud daily adding TO the pages for the
binder. She lived almost as an ascetic, al
though she was in no want She had no
thought but about her sixth and last vol
ume When she left her tiny printing of
flee 10 get milk or bread she noticed none
of her neighboTs aud seemed to be eternal
ly thinking and wrapped up in her own
thoughts She was finally found dead in
her room, the cause being apoplexv. Her
brother Horace c. Hemenway of Kansas
City, took charge of the body and had it
sent to Ludlow for burial

Fert iliZer for Sweet Potatoes.

In answer to an inquiry as to a good
fertilizer for sweet potatoes, the Southern
Cultivator and Dixie Farmer, says that
a compost OF stable or cow manure, or
woods-mold, with acid phosphate and
kainit, makes an excellent manure for
sweet potatoes. Say acid phosphate,
1900 pounds, and kainit 800, and as
much manure or Woods-mCld as may be
available for the purpose, apply so as to
get from 200 to 400 pounds of the mixed
phosphate and kainit per acre. In the
absence of stable or COW manure, add 500
pounds of cotton seed meal to the phOs-
phate and kainit, and use 200 pounds of
the mixture. Break the ground thorough
ly, broadcast two or three weeks before
slips are ready. When slips are ready
open burrows with ordinary shovel, four
feet apart. Strew the fertilizer in the fur
row and mix with the soil by running a
furrOw with long scooter in the
shovel furrOw This much may be done
in anticipation of rain, il the ground is
rather dry. Then when slips are ready
throw a broad list on the center furrow
with a good turning plow knock off the
top of the list lightly by means of a board
or hand hoe, and plant a slip every two
feet. In a few days finish the bed with
two more burrows, and hoe the plants,
especialls if a rain has fallen since the
slips were planted.

churn the hulls into fine grit and pound
it into the rice, which cannot entirely be
taken out by the polishers. This abrad-
ing process also scours off a great deal
of valuable substance from the surface
of those kernels that are hulled in the
first stage of the operation, thus reduc-
ing the percentage of yield. In this
pounding process, the mortars are filed
about once in an hour or one and one
half hours; consequently this abrading
action continues for this length of time.
In our process, a kernel OF rice is not in
the machine over half a minute (thirty
seconds). All the hulls are got rid of as
soon as removed from the grain. The
cuticle is next removed thoroughly and
effectually near the end of the cylinder,
and the result is larger cleaner yield OF
finished rice Cd. The FOUNDERS break
a great many grains of rice. In our pro-
cess this breakage is reduced to mini
mum, giving a much larger percentage
of head rice. "

Here's Cheap Irrigating Plant for
You.

Almost every farmer, gardener or fruit
grower in Florida who thinks at all, is
now thinking about irrigation, and as
our Florida people, as rule, have no
hesitation in putting their thoughts in
to words and expressing their ideas and
opinions the result is that many novel
plans have been suggested for irrigating
plants. The latest and most novel, how
ever, is from the Maccleny Sentinel 1t
says:
This writer and two others were talk
ing over this same matter a few days
ago. One was calculating the cost Of an
engine and boiler to elevate the water
The other, who is a practical machinist
and mechanic, no larger nor smaller a
man than Alex Duncan, recommended
commencing on cheap scale. He sug
gested trying an endless leather belt to
which could be attached cups Or Old fruit
cans, which, unfortunately for ourpurses,
are plentiful around every mans back
yard. 1t is easy to estimate the cost of
this plant. 1t need hardly cost more
than $50 for the machinery, and can be
built by any man of ordinary mechanical
ability. For the motive power, figure
out pair of cog wheels, a sweep and a
steer. You can place your cups so as to
raise one gallon, two gallons, ten gallons
or barrel Of water at each round of
your belt. Now, if you are in earnest
about irrigation, start on this plan, and
donot wait until you are able to inaugu-
rate something great and expensive.

Old Line Farming.

Farmers in Florida are coming to real
ize the Importance of old line farming,
says the Leesburg Commercial In this
southern portion OF the State this year
there will bemore acres planted in straight
field crops than for years past. It docs
not require a prophet to predict the re-
suit, renewed prosperity OF the most solid
kind, and peace and plenty will again make
the people contented and happy. The sue
will be followed in the years to come by
increased acreage ofcorn, fields white with
cotton and rich in luxuriant growth OF
sugar cane and other crops. Florida is
farming country and needs farmers.

Fertilizers Made at Home by Coop
Grafton.

The Rural New Yorker thinks as we do
concerning the feasibility of farmers gar
deners and fruit growers manufacturing
their own fertilizers at home, and reduc-
ing the expenses by cooperating in the
purchase of the material.
A few weeks ago we discussed this sub.
iect at some length, and we trust the
consumers of fertilizers will not pass the
subject by without a thorough investiga-
ton, for We honestly believe that it is
matter of great Importance to the cult
vators of the soil in Florida. The Rural
Yorker says:
Certainly home-mixed fertilizers may
he more economical than those offered in
the market, and there is no reason why
their cost might not be still further les
sened to farmers by their clubbing to-
gether and purchasing the materials in
large quantities, but it is equally certain
that money invested in fertilizers or fer
tilizing materials is frequently thrown
away through ignorance of the wants of
the soil to which the fertilizer is to be ap.
Piled A soil in which any of the plant
forming elements are abundant and in an
available form requires no such element
in fertilizer. 1t is only those elements
which are deficient in the soil that must
be supplied, and until farmers have
learned some easy method of determin-
ing thecharacter of their soils, theprofits
from fertilizers, home mixed or otherwise,
will prove an uncertain quantity.

IT seems from the testimony of those
most interested, and in a position to
know best-the growers themselves-that
the great drawback to the profitable cul-
tivation of the strawberry in Florida is
the extremely high rate of transporta-
ton. We are pleased to know that the
Florida roads are not so much to blame
for this state of affairs as their connec-
ton. If something is not done, and done
quickly too, the cultivation OF the straw
berry in Florida for the Northern market
will be thing of the past.

THERE is good deal of truth and sense
in the following little item from the
Southern Cultivator: Orange growing
and farming in Florida require the same
qualities in the man that win success else
where and in other vocations. 1t is not
land for poor man, or lazy men or
men without good business sense who
have plenty of money. The same cups
and downs" are to be encountered and
the same rewards expected as in other
sections of the country.

DR.. HEATH's prize note sheet communi-
cation in the AGRICULTURIsT two weeks
ago, recommended the use of spirits Of
turpentine as an insecticide. An Ohio
farmer corroborates his statement as to
it's value. He reports 3OO,O0Ocabbages,
and kept the flea beetle away at a cost Of
a single dollar. His method is to pour
gallon OF spirits of turpentine into bar
rel OF land plaster, and when the plaster
is dampened all through, as it will be in
few days, spread it broadcast over the
field. 1t is better than lime in ashes, and
may be applied when the plants are not
wet with rain or dew.
