FARM AND HOME.

Whether you burn wood or coal or both
save the ashes.
The best plan of feeding turnips is to
cut or slice up and sprinkle with bran.
Growing trees ofany kind is growing a
crop. Nov if we use trees as we use
other crops. giving them good, rich soil
and decent care, we shall act wisely and
likely successfully growing one crop OF
trees.

Early RipeninG Corn.

Experience this year has again shown
| that the early ripening northern corn is
better for every purpose IN northern To-
callt-es than that grown in the south Or
west The latter may show slightly in
| creased weight per acre, but its lack of
maturity makes it less valuable, and this
counts largely. There is too much handl-
ing of bulky food that has only low nutri-
tive value. On rich land the northern
corn is very little behind the southern in
bulk, as it will bear thicker sowing, end
viii bear ears. or at least nubbins, at a
distance where the southern corn would be
| only mass OF rather poor stalks.
GRAVEYARD FOR THREE RACES.
Strange Coincidence of the Same Grounds
Being Used for Burial at Three Different
Periods
St. Louis Republic.
The strange phenomenon Of one spot
having served as the burial place for peo-
pie Of three races in three distinct ages of
the world S history Is met with on a bluff
Of the Iowa River, some forty miles from
its mouth. This thrice sacred bluff is
known as Graveyard Point" 1T is stu
ated in the northwestern corner Of Wash
irgton county, Iowa, and Is the southern
terminus of line Of bluffs extending for
several miles along the west bank Of the
Iowa, the SUBMITS of which are covered
with thousands of curious forms Of earth
works, mounds, etc. relics of a race of
which the Indians have no distinct knowl-
edge. After serving for ages as a ceme-
terry for the mCund-builders, the Indians
took possession OF Graveyard Point, -
also using it d It burial place Back in the
forties, when white men drove the Indians
out, they, TOO, began burying their dead
on the bluff, the same land thus serving
as Gods Acre for three different and
distinct races in three stages of the worlds
development.

Tha vital question Of the hour, says the
New York Herald, Is. shall we be able in
the near future to send our pork and lard
70 the Italian market? For some years
past this privilege has bsen denied, but the
Italian government is seriously thinking of
once more extending cordial welcome to
The American hog.
The embargo resting on importations of
pork from Germany has been raised. The
minister Of the interior is now willing to
receive shipments if accompanied by the
certificate of a health officer showing that
the grunter came of a good family, was
se,f-respecting in general demeanor, never
got into the tough with all four feet, and
will not oyertax the digestion of Italian
patriots.

the same right will be extended to the

Reciprocity with BRAZIL.

The reciprocity clause of the Nc
Kinley bill promises to be a most
valuable feature Of that important
measure. Brazil has already signifi-
ed her acceptance Of its provisions,
and President Harrison has made
official proclamation Of the same. BY
the agreement Brazilian import char
ges on American mine, factory and
farm products will be reduced about
So, 100000 annually, while such Bra
lillian products as coffee, sugar and
hides will 60 upon the free list. The
great benefit that will accrue to this
country through this limited recipro-
city will be seen when it understood
that the United States now pays to
BRAZIL about So, 100000 annually,
while it only receives 100000 in
return. 1t is estimated that within
three years this SO, 100000 will be in
creased to so, 900, 900 and our farm
ers and manufacturers all over the
country will reap the benefit accruing
from the increased market. BRAZIL
has in fact agreed to discrimination
in favor Of American goods, many
lines having been put on the free list
and the tariff lowered on others to
our advantage so that it will be cheap
er for Brazilians to import goods
from this country than from Europe.
