Old and weil-trisd sorts that have been
found reliable in certain localities sbould
not be heedlessly thrown aside for untried
varieties, however much lauded they may be
by those interested in the sale of them.
1t is we'll enough TO test on a small scale
new varieties commended by Hood authority
as possessing decided merit; bat there
should be no great risks taken In this direc.
tion. Leave it TO the experimental stations
to determine the climatic qualities OF new
plants.
Where one Is able to do so it is pleasant
to be sure, to experiment with various new
varieties, but it should not be INDUCED in to
an extent that will endanger the practical
results OF the farm or garden work.
There are experimental stations, state and
private, by the score in this country now.
and it does seem reasonable to expect that
great many valuable facts should be added
to the stock of useful knowledge relative to
all the pursuits of rural life.
Since the establishment OF these various
stations they have issued a great many

entertaining and instructive to the plain.

Lime.

Lime Is an essential to plant growth, but

rarely necessary to apply for this especial
purpose. says the Western Rural

In some cases lime may be applied to land
intended to be sown to grass. II is also
valuable for cabbage and corn, especially
when a good application OF fresh, coarse
manure has been given. Just how much
can be used must be determined by the con-
ditlon OF the soil and the cost of the liuue.

Plum Trees in Eenysrds.

The combination Of poultry with small
fruit culture is generally unsatisfactory I'M
less the fowls are too closely confined for
their own good. All the lightweight
breeds are active and require large range.
But there is one kind of fruit that can be
better grown in the poultry yard than any
where else. We refer TO the plum. Plant
plum trees fifteen feet apart and fill the en-
tire enclosure with them, svrmouuting the
fence with wire to keep hens from flying
over. The land should not be cropped, but
plowed In spring and cultivated twice a
month through the growing season, sowing
in summer oats at each cultivation and the
last time in fall sowing rye. The fowls
thus will get exercise with their feed. Their
droppings together with the green heritage
plowed under, will keep the laud rich, and
either the cultivation or the hens will de-
stroy-or brighten away the curculio, secur-
ing good crops of fruit after the trees come
to bearing age.

Making a Fine Seed Bed.

The facilities for pulverizing the soil, both
before add after planting, are so superior to
what they used to be that farmer is mex
ousable who plants on poorly fitted ground.
The idea that, though poorly prepared at
first, the lack can be made up by extra cul-
tivation afterward, is serious mistake. In
any hood crop the most effective cultivation
to insure rapid growth is that done before
planting. a COON send-off goes far toward
securing q good crop, for if the roots start
quickly they can soon reach down and later
ally to much wider extent than when
stnnted at first. Besides, it is impossible to
cultivate the soil directly under the hill. II
Iumpy at first, it will. unless there is ma
nure enough In the soil to ferment, remain
lumpy all the season, however thoroughly
the ground is cultivated betwsen the rows.
1t is better to wait two or three days later
for planting.

and when that decay is finished the soil will
