the sward was inverted and placed in
old milk pan the soil loosened I'M
til mellow, the seeds placed evenly
over the surface, and then covered to
the usual depth, watered and placed
on n bench behind the kitchen stove.
When the season and the plants were
sufficiently advanced to make it safe
to transplant, the sod was cut into
sections and set in hills in the usual
manner, allowing a tablespoonful Of
phosphate to each hill. No insect
pest m0lested them, as the plants
were too far advanced to suit their
fastidious taste, and instead of having
just enough of this delicious vegeta-
BILE for family use, we had enough to
supply the whole nelghborhood.

One hour of planning may save

is therefore, the Superior Medicine.

sowing orchard grass and clover, Is
lbs. OF clover, the, peavine variety,
and one hushel of orchard grass per
acre, adding | Id. of white turnip
seed. The turnips will shelter the
grass and clover, and dying in the
winter will make more plant food
than would be thought without a
close observation. think, anyhow,
it would be quite equal to five or six
full loads of good manure, which will
be worth $40 to S Y per acre at cost
of the seed only. 1t is by taking adj
vantage of all such snail matters as
this which although small are inn
portant helps in this business, that
one makes good Roadway. The
grass and clover will make a good
pasture for the cows, and the small
field where Mr.. Richardson saw my
Ayrshire cows pasturing was seeded
down in this way without any ma
nure at all, and a wretched piece Of
land it looked to me when l first put
the pillow in it. 1t had been pastured,
think, two or three years when
Mr.. Richardson visited me. 1t is
very much a question of money or
time. If time is valuable, as in my
case, money will hasten the work
by spending it in fertilizers. If time
is no particular object, the same end
may be reached at small expense by
starting crops and turning them un-
der. The cost is then spread over
more years, that is all, for the years
of work will in the end cost probably
as much as half ton Ofthe fertilizers
per acre. | have learned that when
it is possible to spend the money, it
is the most economical to do so, for
one has the crops to show for it. l
am convinced that 1 can take poor
Jersey sand, and with 1000 lbs. per
acre of complete manure or special
fertilizers, get all the money back the
first year in corn, and have a good
crop of rye the second year and two
tons of clover hay the third year, and
with 800 or 400 lbs. per acre of fer
tilizer get the fourth year at least $50
bushels of potatoes per acre. The
profit of the investment is easily seen,
while by four years of work which
may cost So per acre without any
crop but what is turned under, the
land will about pay expenses at the
end. This is business, and farming
is business, or should be; if it is not
it will not result in a business profit.
In my present temporary home in
the South, am going through the
slow process of improving exhausted
old fields by growing grass and clo~
yer, paying expenses and making
a profit such as any ordinary farmer
might think satisfactory, and with
out fertilizers or even manure, which
it is quite impossible to draw ur
these mountain sides. But the pool
lands of New-Jersey can be made t.
return far better profit by such {
liberal course Of improvement thar
the better lands of these mountain!
without such an expense.

DIRT AND DRESSES.
An IneXcusable Custom That n
Few Women Are Introducing.

Whoever walks our streets nowadays and
sees woman promenading along before
him, her skirts just long enough to sweep up
all the dust dirt, papers, cigar stumpS and
accumulated debris Of a city street, while
she seems eOmplaceDtly ignorant of the
fact, can understand the disgust that
prompts the following protest from a
Hawaiian editor, who says: For some
months now our eyes have been offended by
the long skirts worn on our streets. A more
filthy or unhealthy fashion has never been
introduced Damp skirts become minor
evil, hardly worth considering beside
the awful danger of accumulating and
distributing the disease germs that
abound in the dirt Of our streets. Amaze
ment increases at the appalling ignorance
or ind Florence of the women who make
trailing dresses in the street fashionable
No mandate but the willingness of the in
diyiduaI wearer makes this uncleanlness
possible. Long dresses in the street have
not one advantage in their favor. Skirts
that clear the walk are more economical,
more heaithful, more graceful. No woman
can be dignified who is compelled to make
frantic dashes to lift her dress skirt to es-
cape some suddenly discovered nastinesS
which she wishes 10 avoid, and no
woman of clean habits will let her dress
skirts drag through the mud and filth OF our
streets. mere Is only one way 10 XIII this
undesirable and npdesired fashion, and that
is. for each individual woman to refuse to
wear long skirts on the streets Ii is in
comprehensive that at this day, when
every woman of intelligence is striving
after health, when she spends as much time
10 reduce weight and superiority in her
underwear as she does in designing pretty
costumes, that she should be guilty of offend
ing by this unsghtly, unsuitable, unhealthy
fashion OF trailing dresses on our dirty
streets.
in Washington recently a well-dressed
woman was crossing Pennsylvania avenue.
II had rained the night before, ana the pave
ment was covered about an inch deep with
liquid mud. Evidently this woman had not
worn trailing dress the length of time nee
essaTy to enable her 10 lift her dress auto
matically; she was in "A hurry and
walked quickly. just before reaching
the opposite curb she remembered her
trailing skirt aud grabbed at it frantic
allv; as she lifted it the liquid mud it
had accumulated dripped from the skirt, or
rather the bunch of goods at the back, in
little streams, suggest ting the appearance of
a street-sweeper's broom as he lifts it up.
The wearer looked aghast hurriedy
beckOned a hanson, and hurried herself
and her sireet-sweepingS out Of sight.
When woman makes her clothes q cause
for shame and embarrassment it is an evil
dence Of weakness or lack Of intelligence
that should be viewed with charity as we
view all social deinquences and excuse
them because the offenders know no better.

NOT A SUCCESS.
Failure OF Koch's Lymph in Baltimore.
Its Use Discontinued.

Failure OF Koch's Lymph in Baltimore.
Its Use Discontinued.
Though the secret has been carefully
guarded by the medical staff, students and
officials of the Johns Hopkins Hospital. it
has finally leaked Oft that not single
patient afflicted with tuberculosis inoculated
by the famous lymph Of Professor Koch has
been cured or materially benefited by the
panacea which was to revolutionize the
medical profession and save coughing hu-
manity, says the Baltimore Herald. 1t is
learned from a reliable source that the
young men studying at the hospital and at
tending the clinics from the university have
been warned not TO mention the results of
the NEGOTIATIONS, but 1t was found impoSsi-
bic to keep such an important matter as the
failure Of the lymph secret. All of the
patti ents lnOculated were sent to their homes
uncured. and many received but temper
AIRY benefit, which vanished as soon as the
careful treatment at the hospital was dis
continued.
DR.. Henry NJ. Hurd, Superintendent of
the hospital, and better THAI most anyone to
judge of the ultimate effects Of the noclla-
tion, said yesterday: 81 cannot assert that
any cures were effected, but few were
much benefited One or two patients suf-
fering with lupus were cured, but tile ma
| jnrity were not greatly improved We have
discontinued the use of the lymph in all but
three cases, and the majority have been sent
to their homes"
The fact is all the more surprising when il
is known that only patients in the early
stages of consumption were accepted for
treatment. At first it was thought by all
concerned in the treatment that a cure
would be the ultimate result or at least
great benefit would be derived from the use
of the lymph Many of the patients showed
unmistakable signs Of cure. The cough en-
trely disappeared, and their hitherto sal
low, hollow cheeks filed out. The hectic
flush disappeared. and in its place came
healthy glow. In the meantime the inocula-
lions were regularly carried on, though the
effects OF the later operations were not as
severe and marked as those first performed.
The lymph finally came to have less and
less effect. When the inoculations were dis
continued after short time the cough
again made its appearance, and quite as bad
as previously.
Professor William Osler appeared to have
very little confidence in the much lauded
nepenthe. I" If We had taken patients in an
advanced stage of the disease" he said, 81
don't know how many might have been
killed, but those which were accepted might
just as well have stayed at home Possibly
the lymph will cure patients IN the very
early stages, but its results on rhe men we
experimental upon were not startling"
