inch pots, or fruiting boxes. The side
of the plants on which the buds form is
turned to the south, or the sunlight. A
continuous supply of plants is kept up
by making a sowing every two weeks,
thus providing sufficient young plants
to replace those that cease fruiting.
The first sowing is made early in Sep.
tember. The soil used for potting con-
sists of equal parts of common garden
soil and well-rotted stable manure.
Each plant is trained to single
stem, by removing all lateral shoots as
soon as any appear. The stems are
trained to perpendicular strings
stretched from the pots to the roof OF
the house. The pots are placed twenty
inches or two feet apart, so as to allow
free circulation of air around them and
to admit all the light and sunshine pos.
sible. When the lunches of fruit have
grown to the size of hens'-eggs each
bunch is supported by piece of mating
fastened against the main stem to pre-
vent the breaking of the fruit stems.
To insure sufficient dryness of the at
mosphere the elevation of the forcing
house should be not less than fifty
degrees. Dry air around the plants
is essential to success, else the pollen
will not develop sufficiently for complete
fertilization. In houses-where neither
winds nor insects can assist in the dis
tribution of pollen-each plant should
be tapped with a padded stick once a
day about noon, when the air is dryest.
This will in some measure furnish
substitute for the natural means of scat
tering the pollen.-American Agricult-

Thinning Apples,

The following advantages are given
by a successful orchardist of thinning
the apples on heavy-bearing trees while
the fruit iG small: /. You get rid of the
knotty and wormy apples before they
have grown long enough to occupy the
place of better ones. 2. You thus de-
stroy, before they can increase, the in
sects in such as are stung by the curculio
and infested by the codling worm. 3.
The best ones being left, they have
plenty of room to grow into large, fine,
salable specimens. H. You are not
obliged to gather twice as many small
ones, the labor of picking depending on
number and not on Size g. The bad
ones are removed in time at less than
half the labor required for manipulating
when they become large. @. You avoid
much labor in asserting the gathered
crop, and in separating the scabby and
knurly from the best fruit. Z. The
moderate crop which is allowed to grow
will exhaust the trees less than the
heavy crop of poor and seedy specimens.
He thinks that to allow all the poor and
worthless apples to grow is like the
practice Of the farmer who would permit
all the coarse weeds to grow in his corn,
to be assorted from his grain after has

A ROPE OF LADS.
How Several Boys Rescued n Playmate
From Drowning.


From Drowning.
A number of boys were skating and
sliding in Yorkshire. On sudden the
ice gave way almost in the middle of
the lake and one poor little fellow fell
in. There was no house near where
they could run for help; no ropes which
they could throw to their struggling
companion. The boys stood on the
bank, with pale, sorrowful faces, afraid
to try to reach their friend, in case the
ice should give way and swallow them
all up.
But one boy suddenly remembered
that although you can not stand board
upright on thin ice without it's going
through, yet if you lay the same board
fiat on the ice 1t will be quite safe. Not
only that, but he knew that he could
run along the board without fear of
cracking the ice.
1t only took him moment to remem-
ber all that; the next he spoke to his
friends something after this fashion:
81 will lie down fiat on the ico near
the edge; then one of you must come to
my feet and push me along till you too
can lie down. If you all lie down in
that way, and push the boy in front of
you, we shall make a line long enough
to reach poor Reuben"
Thus, taking the post of danger him
self, the brave boy was able by his liv-
ing rope to reach his friend. He pulled
him out, though he was not one moment
too soon, for he was so exhausted with
his efforts to keep his head above water
that he would very soon have sunk

Our Hog Products.

Swine will always be conspicuous
feature of agriculture, says the Western
Rural. There is steady consumption
of pork products We are pork-eating
people. Upon. every table there is
more or less pork in some shape and
upon every table there are pork products
of some kind constantly. The consump-
tion, therefore, is reliable. But fur
ther than this on many tables pork is
the chief meat the year round. Then
the production of pork is about as cheap
as lny meats that we produce. The hog
consumes considerable that would be
otherwige wasted; and when corn is high
the price of pork usually corresponds.
We may confidently depend upon our
swine, therefore, to do as well, years
together, as any other domestic animal
will do. Disease has been the great
drawback to our swine husbandry, but
we believe that avoidance of too close
inbreeding and more natural system
of feeding will protect us from disease
in very large measure.

Some Good Suggestions for Market Grr-
dcncrs.
Our Southern States and Bermuda
send their tomatoes to the markets OF
our large cities several months in ad-
vance of the ripening of the nearby
crops, lengthening the season consider
ably. Yet it remains for Northern
forcing-houses to round out the supply
so that fresh tomatoes may now be had
any day in the year. Tomatoes grown
under glass make their appearance in
out metropolitan markets about Christ
mas, and continue to be offered until the
Florida and Bermuda crops become plen-
tiful.
Many improvements in the methods
of forcing, as well as in the selection of
varities best adapted for this purpose,
have been made within the last few
years. Our illustration represents a

BRAN FOR HORSES.


It's Value ms Ration Discussed-shouid
BE More Generally Used.
Since the authorities differ among
themselves, 1t is fair to assume that
while first-class horses for any purpose
may be reared and maintained without
bran, this feed in the hands of others
may form part of the ration and pro-
duce equally good results. Without
any doubt. oats are the best single grain
feed we have for horses, though but few
will insist that because they are the
best no other kind of grain or concen-
trated food should be fed. Variety Of
feed is important to the highest success
with any kind of animals, and bran
lengthens the list of available feeding
stuffs by just so much.
Chemically, bran is very rich in just
what horses need to build and maintain
since it is rich in both muscle and bone
producing elements. A hundred pounds
of oats contain about 9.5 pounds of di-
gestible muscle-making food, while one
hundred pounds of bran contain about
1875 pounds. Again, If we were to burn
one hundred pounds of shelled corn
there would remain one and one-half
pounds of ashes; from one hundred
pounds of oats there would remain three
pounds of ashes, while the same weight
of wheat bran would give over five and
one-half pounds of ashes. 1t is the ash
of our foods that builds up the bony
frame work.
We read in history that at one time

common food article, containing much
nutrition in concentrated form. In
this country many people use sweet
(olive). oil as medicine, while mill
ions of people in Europe use it for food.
Formerly butter was used in the same
way. as a medicine. Most all horse man.
ayers use an occasional "bran mash" as
corrective, and consider it very valu-
able. Many of these same individuals
could enlarge the use of bran in the
stable until it should become common
food article, just as sugar and butter
have grown common with our people.
Furthermore, animals can be made to
grow and fatten upon bran.
A few years ago this experiment was
successfully tried in Kansas with steers.
Prof. Shelton, Of the Kansas Expert
ment Station, fed grown hogs wholly
upon bran and shorts, and they made
nearly as good gain as upon corn. AT
this station wisconsin, we now have a
lot of growing hogs which nave made a
pound of gain from four and one-half
pounds of bran and shorts, while anoth-
er lot, under the same conditions, have
not done quite so we'll on corn meal.
Our dairy farmers have come to appre-
ciate bran very highly. Jefferson
County, in this State, is largely occu-
pied by German dairy farmers, thrifty
and progressive class of people. At
three railroad stations in that county
two years ago there were unloaded four
hundred cai-loads Of bran, as L am in
formed by our Governor Hoard, resi-
dent of that county. 1t would be hard,
/ think, to convince these farmers that
they had been buying something ''no
better than sawdust"
] think there is evidence enough, both
on the scientific and practical side, to
show that, intelligently used, bran is a
very valuable food article for almost
any kind of live stock.-Prof. w. A.
Henry in breeders Gazette.

a dispatch was sent out from this
city the other day to the effect that
friends of eXPresident Cleveland were
going TO buy the st. Paul Globe, the
leading Democratic paper of the North
west, in order TO boom his candidacy
for 1892. Mr.. Lewis Baker denies the
report, saying that he had refused to
sell last summer at a better than GOOD
price. He then tells how the report
might have originated
About year ago was in Washing
ton and met Dan Lamont. We were
discussing Western newspaper property.
AT that time there was minority in
tercst in the Globe held by outside
parties, though in such shape that |
could sell it to any person. I men
toned this to Mr.. Lamont and said: IF
you know any bright editorial writer
who desires to come West and take an
interest in the Gl0b6 / can arrange it so
that you can purchase this minority
stock. Some time later Mr.. Lamont
sent to me Mr.. Lyman, who subse-
quently got control of the Helena Ipde.
pendent, and who was then Washington
correspondent Of the New York Sun.
We discussed the matter several times
and finally ] told him that perhaps q
small newspaper, in which he could
get controlling interest, would suit
him better.
He assented, and | referred him to
the Helena independent, saying /
thought he could arrange deal with
Governor Hauser to secure that paper.
1t is possible that when some one was
talking of Western newspapers, La
mont, who was in Washington q few
days ago, mentioned that an interest in
the Globe could be purchased, and this
started the rumor. That interest, how
ever, is not now for sale, all the stock
being under my control. / notice also
in this dispatch it is said that the pur-
chase of certain newspaper plants to
boom Mr.. Cleveland's candidacy early
in the game is part of the battle his
friends have mapped out. Now. if his
friends are as shrewd as l believe they
are they will not do anything of that
sort. His candidacy will not be aided
by any programme of that character.
IT is too early to boom any candidate.
Booms started so long in advance of the
Presidential year are liable to die a
natural death. If Mr.. Cleveland is to
secure the nomination it must come by
reason of widespread feeling that he
is the proper man to be put at the head
of the Democratic ticket, and it will not
be gained by the purchase of newspa.

1t will be observed that there was a
pretty good foundation for the report,
