Good Points From Many Sources.

The Japan persimmon is usually graft
ed on the common persimmon without
difficulty. Nurserymen usually graft
them precisely as they graft apples in
winter time, only employing collar-graft-
ing instead of cutting up pieces of the
roots.-T Mechanics Monthly.
When breeding to improve, no mistake
will be made if the male is pure bred. If
he is not the best to be found he will at
least be far superior to the scrub. If ev-
cry farmer would aim to grade up his
stock he would soon double the value of
his fiocks and herds.-[ Troy Times.
know of no better trade mark than
the growers name, with well-known,
carefully assorted fruit, honestly put up
in neat, clean packages. of full capacity,
to back it up.-CE. Williams.
1t requires the very best of manage
ment to make the farm carry sufficient
manure to keep up the fertility of the
soil without using green manures or COM
mercial fertiizers.-[ Live Stock Indica-
tor.
If roots supply too little moisture the
tree will not make growth, if too much it
will not produce fruit; therefore, it is
necessary to prune roots. The practical
fruit grower will know which remedy ne
needs to apply Prof Golf.

A movement is on foot to prevent

LIVE FARM TOPICS.
Fall Flowing.

The object of leaving fall plowed land
with a rough surface, and not narrowed
down smooth, is to facilitate disintegra-
ton and the breaking down of Jumps,
permitting the ingress of air, frosts, and
rains, the action of these elements being
more rapid and certain than on compact
soil. If you will place lump of soil on
the surface, and leave it there through
the winter, you will find it has crumbled
away, each particle, during the process,
probably, having come in direct contact
with the air. This HratiOn has not only
changed the form, but separated the part
icles, perhaps bringing two in contact
that never touched before, all of which
affects the soil chemically as well as me-
chanically. The object of breaking up
the soil, or cultivation, as we usually
term it, is not only TO eliminate noxious
properties by pration, but to change its
mechanical structure and prepare iE for
the reception of the seeds of domesticated
plants. Heavy soils require pulverizing,
to admit air, and the escape of surplus
moisture by evaporation or drainage,
while very light soils may need compact
ing to put them in proper condition for
the reception of seed American Agri-
culturist.

erty and drive others away who were
willing to work, we would have anarchy.
No business could be conducted upon
such basis; that doctrine when once
countenanced would be extended to ev-
cry industry.
We have reached the point in the his
tory of the state where there are but two
roads for us to pursue the one leads to
order and good government, the other
leads to anarchy. The one great ques-
ton which concerns the people of this
country is the enforcement of the law
and the preservation of order.
THE FAITH CURE CRAZE,
though not prevalent, numbers here and
there victim, and serves to convince
the more gullible portion of humanity
that the fools are not all dead yet.
Last summer I met woman, who to
all appearance, was mortally ill, unless
medical science could help her. But she
discarded medicine and medical advice
because she thought it would be taking
her case out of the Lords hands to have
any other physician.
Last week she died. Her faith did not
avail. This week there was a girl in
jamestown, n. Y, died of typhoid fever.
The family refused the doctor and pray
ed.
Charles Dudley Warner says that the
difference between the ''faith cure" and
the ''mind cure is that "the mind cure
doesn't require any faith, and the faith
cure doesn't require any mind. 10. o.

SECULAR SERMON.

The text, beloved, is taken from the
Proverbs of Wiseman Great-heart, ''For-
get not thou the poor in the day of thy
prosperity" If Jesus Christ, the prophet
of Nazareth, was to come in bodily pres
ence before you to-day he might ask you
some questions. 1t would not be, ''Is
your creed yard long?" or 'Were you
baptized in soup?" or "Can you shout
amen at every turn of the prayer" or
ssDo you believe the 80 articles?" He
would imagine, say to you, ''Do you
give alms?'' "Where are my poor whom
L love?" "Do you ever obey the Golden
Rule?''
1t is along the line of duty toward the
needy that our text points We are at
the close of a plentiful harvest. There
is neither famine nor pestilence in our
land. The farms have yielded their in
crease and Thanksgiving day is near. So

US not to forget the poor.

Why does not Dea Fatpurse send them
down one of his chickens and half bar
rel of apples with an envelope on top
with So bill in it? He would never
know the difference in this world and it
might make great deal of difference in
the next world with him. He needs to
be nudged by Wiseman's proverb to re-
member the poor.
Will any one from the church remem-
Der to visit poor Aunt Jane in the poor
house and take her a taste of currant jel-
Iy or pie especially baked for her? Oh
yes, know you say the town will feed
her. She will not starve. And yet poor
old soul she is starving in heart. She
will look back to many jolly Thanks
giving and her heart will almost break
over her lonely and loveless life. Re-
member her in your prosperity. Don't
let her weep her eyes out because she
thinks the whole world has forgotten
her.
SHE IS THE LORDS POOR.
Let the church send its young men and
the Sunday school its merry girls TO
cheer her up with a gift and a token Of
love.
