ClenatiSeS.

A woman writes to the Farm Journal
as follows:
'"The clematis makes quick growth
and produces it's flowers in profusion, a
simple reason for it's popularity. The
uses to which clematises may be applied
are exceedingly various. They may be
employed for training over arches, for
hiding an unsightly bank or slope, and
for draping an old ruin. They will
grow in almost any situation, if the soil
is not absolutely deficient of food, or if
the roots of other plants do not rob
them of a fair supply of nutriment; and
in such positions nothing would be re-
required but to throw down a few tree
roots or rough branches for them to
scramble over. Thus planted, a layer
fork, and a supply of water in very dry
weather, would secure good result.
Again, they rank among the ornaments
of low walls, trellises, ETC., to which
they must necessarily, in the first in
stance, be nailed or tied; but once
firmly fixed, they should be allowed to
fall down in rich picturesque masses.
'The Duchess Of Edinburgh is counted
as one of the best of the double white
varieties, and blooms freely. Impera-
trice Eugene is a large white kind. The
Henryi, hardy, strong grower, pro
duces creamy-White flowers. Jackmanni
is one of the strongest growers and best
boomers known, and bears flowers OF
an intense violet purple hue, distinctly
veined. Jackmanni Alba is a Seeding
of {. Jackmanni, the most desirable
of all dark-colored varieties, with which
1t is identical in every respect except
color. Flower white, shaded lavender.
The Fair Rosamond has blush white
flowers, with wine-colored bar, and John
Gould Veitch bears double flowers OF
lavender blue. These are a few of the
many desirable varieties of clematis
that are furnished by our leading seed
men,"

Setting Trees.


For the front yard a little care in
planning will make a very desirable diff
ference in the result secured.
1t does not usually pay SO far as ap-
pearances are concerned, to set out in
straight lines. Grouping will look nicer,
and with evergreens or ornamental
trees appearance is always an item
worth securing. A variety will often
produce better effect than having all of
one kind. This applies equally well to
evergreens; trees for shade or orna-
ment. In setting out trees it should al
ways be remembered that they are to
grow, and allowance should be made
accordingly. What may seem a good
distance apart when they are first set
out will, after they get a good start to
grow, show to be close enough. 1t is
not good plan to set out too thick, and
then be obliged to cut part of them later
on. Plan the work carefully ahead, and
the results will be far more satisfactory
The planning ought to be done before
the trees are ordered.

possessed of the flavor SO Objectionable
to most black currants The Victoria
and Cherry stand high among the red
varieties, and both produce a very
salable berry The Victoria would be
preferred by some, for it has larger
punches, and bears it's fruit much larger
than any other variety. The White
Grape appears to be the best among
this class of currants, but the demand
for these is never SO great as to warrant
extensive cultivation. Fay's Prolific is
a currant that can be depended upon in
most attitudes.
In the line of blackberries one must
select the varieties largely according
to their hardness and the latitude in
which they are to be grown. The Early
Harvest variety is very tender, and
does better when grown in warm
regions of the country. Early Cluster
| is likewise too tender to be grown as far
North as New York, for the plants are
| invariably winter-killed. The Kittatin
ny and the Lawton are half-hardy, and
are liable to be killed by severe win
| ter. Agawam, Snyder and Ancient
| Briton produce sweet, hardy berries,
and they can be grown successfully
North than any of the others. Stones
Hardy is very late and productive, and
can endure almost any weather. It
ranks first as hardy fruit, but Taylor's
| Prolific, while not quite SO hardy, is by
far the best variety, 1t will stand al
most any ordinary climate in our coun-
| try, and very seldom gets winterkilled.
There are many other new varieties
in the market, but am not able to rec
ommend any of them yet from practical
experience. Some have received flat
condemned as unworthy of the name of
| cultivated berries.

Lice on Fowls.

The Mirror and Farmer pertinently
urges poultry men not to let lice live in
their houses. 1t is mistaken suppose
ton that lice rive no annoyance until
summer and the warm days occur,
which leads many to defer the matter
rapidly multiplied, and show their
presence in manner that is only too
plainly apparent. 1t is true lice are
more active in warm weather, but they
do not all perish in winter, or we should
have no source from which to expect
future supply. They are like bees
they take advantage of the warm days
of early spring, and perform all the
work possible, though they may be slug
gish.
No one should wait until summer to
destroy or prevent lice. When the lice
are in an inactive condition is the time
to begin the attack They will come
out of their hiding places somewhat
escape. The poultry house should
never have single louise therein, but
if it is to be PIT in such condition it will
not do to wait until favorable weather,
for then there will be hundred to de-
stroy where onlya few are present now,
with the additional chances of more
eggs to destroy
To destroy all the lice one will have
to reach into the cracks and crevices,
The best way to do this is to use some
kind of sprayer or force-pump. There
are several kinds on the market that
are handy and cheap. On wash days
take the soapsuds of the family washing
and add pound of caustic soda to ten
gallons of the suds to increase its
strength, and to every gallon Of the
mixture add gill of crude carbolic
acid. Force this into every place where
a louise can hide, and repeat the process
every week.
There is also dry process that may
be practiced, which is to use fine air
slaked lime, we'll busted over every
portion of the poultry-house, but we
prefer to suggest that both the liquid
and the dry process be tried. 1t may
be laborious, but it will save labor later
on, for if the poultry are to be
kept free from vermin the work must
be done as preventive as much as Il
cure, and it cannot be done TOO early.

II is difficult to conceive how any
person Of average intelligence could
have been surprised at the rise in wheat
The only remarkable thing about 1t Is
that 10 did not come sooner. All ac-
counts agree in representing a general
shortage in other countries. America
has a bcuntiful supply, 1t Is true, but
there Is no doubt that the supply as a
whole is light, and the supply OF rye
still lighter. Corn will 60 far to Offset
this deficit in rye, but all the bears in
the world can not keep down the price
OF cereals.
No doubt there will be Quotations in
the grain market from time TO time,
and the bears may have their day In
the pit but natural causes are too
strong for mere speculative manipula-
tions. Very likely there will be de-
cline from the present price, followed
by still higher figures. There Is a
large latitude for speculative action,
but IL is safe TO say that 1881 Is 20 bc
duplicated in 1891, with liberal margin
II improvement That much IL is safe
to reckon on.
Already one hears talk OF car fam
inc. and no doubt the rolling stock OF
country will be severely taxed. The
same is bound to be true OF the short
age facilities OF the country. II is nee
essary to protect grain against not on
ly the weather and rats and mice but
against natural heat. There Is a greai
deal OF moisture In new griHn, aud
latent heat The farmers can properly
care for only a small part OF their crop,
and the country elevators, as a rule, are
not provided with the facilities FOR cur
ing the green grain. II would be a
great pity to be careless in the preser-
vation OF the grain. So far as ruported,
it is in good condition now, and ought
to be kept SO.
normal demand for American grain
can not be anticipated. The production
here and elsewhere Is likely TO be slim
ulated. There is lass OF economists
who sneer at he idea OF overproduction,
and in one sense they are right. No
doubt there is ''under-consumption, y
but that is due TO the poverty of the
people. They can not pay for all the
grain they really need, and so must
scrimp themselves. That Is the ex-
PLANTATION, and consequently from the
standpoint Of the producer, there is al
ways liability to overprOduciion.
The western farmers may hope for a
permanent enlargement Of the demand
for corn as a substitute for rye. a great
many people will take kindly to it and
want more and more OF it each year. II
is the most economical grain in the en-
tire cereal family. Then, too, the rails
ing of rye in this country is likely TO be
materially stimulated. There are large
tracts OF country, especially in the far
west, specially adapted TO rye raising.
II Is a crop which natures early, and
can get its growth before the drouth
comes TO wither it. Many farmer in
western Kansas and Nebraska can raise
rye TO advantage when corn is an uncer-
tain crop. with the chances in favor oi
its being ruined by the scorching sun
aud drouth Of August and September.
The present extraordinary demand for
rye may have highly important effect
upon tho drift OF production throughout
the west, and, measurably, throughout
the country. Ocean.

The Wheat MARKET.

There Is no reason TO suppose that
there is any special manipulation at the
bottom Of the market. The ''bull" on
whose horns the wheat has been lifted
into the air Is the general European
shortage In both wheat and rye. Max
ing all due allowance for the ezaggera-
tion Of vague rumors, II Is undoubtedly
true that the grain crop Of the world Il
short, and II the masses OF the people Of
Europe were as well able 10 buy what
they want as are the masses In this
country, wheat would go very much
higher than the present high water
mark. The American wOrkingman
would have all the bread be wanted II
flour were three times It's ordinary price
Bread would even then be one Of the
minor items Of family expense. But II
Is not so In Europe. Bread, without
meat or butter, except on special occa-
siOns, is tue staple OF European food,
but let the price 60 much above the
usual figures and the peasant will hunt
up substitute In Hguring on the
wants OF Europe this figure OF the case
must be taken into account The wheat

TO suffer serious loss In the end II they

The present Is not good month for

ditions are 80 very unusual that Ordina-
ry rules Of calculation do not apply.
The actual owners Of wheat must bo
ihoir own judges Of whether to sell now
or wait for later developments. The
trade may be proiuse, as usual, with ad-
vice, but no attention should be paid 10
