Roots for winter Feeding.

No farmer who has once grown roots
for winter feeding will ever abandon
the practice. And no farmer who can
be induced once to grow them as a
trial will ever regret the pains he has
taken. No doubt under the generally
careless culture Of such crops there Is
much labor bestowed upon the roots.
Weeds have to be destroyed and much
hand-hoeing has to be done. This is
the fault OF the farmer and the land.
and not the root crop ITSELF The
young plants grow slowly at the best,
and in weedy ground make still slower
growth. But this may be overcome
by having the ground clean and we'll
fertilized. Any farmer who has never
grown roots for fear OF the labor OF keep
log them clean. should plough an acre
now and get it ready for cross ploughing
and thorough narrowing in the spring
so that it may be well-cleaned by the
end OF May for the sowing. A small
plat can be easily kept clean by the use
of one OF the hand cultivators, and will
require no more labor than crop Of
potatoes or corn. American Agricul-

Of Germany to pork imports.

clared that the government had not waited
for the expression of discomfort OF the
people, but had been continually occupied
with the particular question at issue. A
recent case of trichiniasis at Cologne, he
said, was attributed to the use Of Ameri-

Tobacco Culture.

There is, perhaps, no plant so de-
pendent upon peculiarities Of climate
aud soil for the development Of quality
as tobacco. The writer has had con-
nection with disappointing results
from attempts to grow better grades
Of tobacco in southern Maryland un-
der the advice and suggestions OF q
distinguished expert in tobacco cult
ure. One word describes the whole
result-failure. That failure not from
inexperience or lack Of intelligence.
The climate and soil refused utterly to
produce crop worth anything, Of
any OF the improved sorts grown in
Virginia and elsewhere. On the
other hand, not thirty miles distant,
in Fairfax county. Va, within
twelve or thirteen miles Of
Washington city, the first trial
produced bright tobacco which
was sold In Richmond at $40
per hundred. In that locality experts
decided before trial that the attempt
would be useless; and experts OF the
Richmond market said 1t could not
have been believed that tobacco OF
that quality would grow in that To-
cality. Other trials may succeed in
Maryland. but the writer greatly
doubts whether II is possible to make
tobacco culture pay anywhere in that
state. Possibly some northern variety
might be introduced there which
would pay better than the sorts now
in use, but the writer believes that
the Potomac river is the northern
limit OF the southern varieties. The
gray gneis and old red sandstone,
which impinge upon the Potomac at
Seneca, and which form the eastern
border OF the Virginia Piedmont clear
across the state. produce soils which
will grow first class bright tobacco.

observations and experiments lead
him to believe it cannot be grown,

careful handling. pay expenses. even

There must be heat enough to keep

About porches which are a little

The beautiful Niagara grapes In

But there are lots OF good old folks to-
