FARM NOTES.

While turnips and cabbage can be
left out until the heavy frosts, yet it is
not good plan to leave out too late.
One advantage in winter manuring
Of wheat is that il acts as q mulch TO
the plants as we'll as benefits the soil.
A good healthy chicken six weeks old
can pick up its own living around al
most any farm yard. When it is four
or six months old its flesh is worth
twice as much per pound as either beef.
mutton or pork.
An exchange remarks: I'VE know q
great many farmers who own $50 acres
of good land. in good districts, near
railroads and fine towns, who make
butter that is just ct for very hungry
hog to eat Is that business in this
age of progress on the farm?"
OF rye Secretary Rusk, Of the agri'
cultural department., says: 1T il
hardy, the straw is valuable and tho
average yield an acre is enough larger
than that of wheat to cover the differ.
ence in selling price. believe it would
be quite as profitable as wheat"
The use of wood ashes as fertilizer
should be more generally understood.
Hardwood ashes are much richer in
potash than softwood ashes and are
relatively more valuable. Leaehed
wood ashes are hardy worth more than
the labor of spreading on the lands as
. rule.
The time when corn can be cribbed
depends largely upon the season. Some
years it can be husked out and cribbed
much earlier than otherA Generally
short time after there is a killing frost
corn will do to crib. especially fodder
corn. 1t is nearly always best to husl
out and throw directly into wagons. as
throwing upon the ground causes waste.
Save your own tomato seed from the
choicest specimens you can find. For
seed choose only those that are smooth
and round and that ripen fully mp to
the stem. Save seed of pepper, egg
plant snap beans, bush butter~beans
and corn. Let all seeds dry good and
put up in paper bagA See that they
are kept in q dry place and ont of the
reach Of rats
Twenty-Five years ago not one farmer
in one hundred knew what celery
looked like, few having heard Of tho
plant First-class hotels in the cities
had it occasionally. To-day the crop
is worth millions of dollars annually
and is in use throughout the land Az
Kalamazoo. Mich. the crop was first
grown in 1875, in very small way. IL
ten years the crop grown at this place
alone was valued at one-fourth Of q
million Of dollars, and land comper-
atively worthless before celery was
grown is valued at from $50 to 500 per
acre.

WASHINGTON. Oct 16-Rev. Dr.. Dou-

Grafton. Dr.. Stephenson, for the COM
mittee, suggested few alterations in
the original text
Rev. DR. Collier. of England. though
It would be better to adopt no resolu-
ton relative to Methodist union at this
time. as such action might be regarded
as approaching q violation of the rules
that the council had agreed to accept
The resolution should read unity" or
preferably Christian unity" instead
of union" and UNITED Kingdom" in
stead of Great Britain, which excluded
Ireland.
Rev. DR.. Ralph Abercrombie. of En-
gland. regretted that the proceedings
of the morning had not been character
lied BY that spirit of harmony which
seemed to be proper in the considera-
ton of the subject of unity. It remind
ed him of the old hymn. 'lnto . world

A deprecating murmur went up at
this quotation. but hardly had Dr..
Abercrombie taken his seat before
there was q struggle for the floor.

HeW Some Builders Build.

A glance at the business directory
will reveal the fact that there are many
hundreds Of persons in this city who
follow the calling Of builders. Few of
them are rich, all of them are hard
workers. The development of the upper
West side of the city and the Annexed
District has been the cause Of so many
launching out into this branch Of busi-
ness.
A prominent builder told Mun ana
Erfress reporter the other day that some
SO called builders resort to all sorts of
schemes to procure money enought to put
up structure and pay the laborers,. He
said that one of these builders who can
scrape up few thousand dollars will
buy lot worth $1,000 or $4,000, making
a small cash payment. giving mort
gage for the balance Provided with kis
lot, he can 90 to one of the many loaD
associations, and by agreeing t. pay an
exhorbitant shave. beside the irterest,
procure what is known as Il 'builder's
loan"
The cellar is then dug aud the fOun-
daton laid Credit can be had for
bricks enough to put up the basement or
ground story, and arrangements can oe
effected with dealer for brownstone.
As soon as the first story is up, the
builder at once proceeds to raise more
money by mortgaging' it. With the
money he receives he builds the second
story, which, as soon as completed, he
, mortgages, applying the proceeds to the
construction of a third story, and follows
out the same line Of conduct if fourth
story is needed When tie building is
completed it is patched with three or
four more mortgages.
Il is then put on the market aud
sale is often forced A specnlator buys
up the mortgages. aud after giving the
builder few hundred dollars frcm his
profits. puts it In the market. The
builder goes on the hunt for another lot
upon which to pu. another building, sat,
isfed with small profit. The man
with the money who buys up the mort
cages is tue one who reaps the benefit.
