A hint from nature as to how to manure
properly is given by leaving plat OF poor
soil to recuperate itself The first thing
noted is that whatever grows on the soil,
whether weeds or grass. falls and lies where
it grew. Unless the soil be very poor it
makes the first year pretty good mulch.
The soluble portions of this growth are car
ried down into the soil by rains. Next
year the growth of vegetation is larger, the
mulch heavier and the Improvement Of the
soil is more rapid.
Those intending to establish asparagus
beds should loss no time now in getting the
soil in readiness. in the meantime ordering
the plants 80 that they will be on hand in
time. All persons who own the requisite
land and feel at all settled, should have an
asparagus bed. 1t is a most delightful
vegetable, comes early in the spring; has a
decided medicinal value, and a bed once
properly established continues for twenty
years or more, requiring only little care
to keep it in condition.
The more nitrogen plant contains the
more valuable 1t is for feed, unless its
nutrisive value is impaired by acid or poi
sonous sap. Pig weed and chick weed, the
latter often called 'pursley," are very
nutrltive weeds. They grow abundantly
on rich land and are gross feeders. When
pulled up and thrown into a pen where pigs
are COnnO0Q THESE We6QS WILL De RFe6QllY
eaten even down to the roots Doubtless
the soil pulled up with these weeds has its
value as well as has their own green herb
age for pigs in confinement.
There is no cheaper. easier or quieter way
to make land valuable than to plant the
best kind of fruit trees on it. As the
Scotchman observed to his son; "a tree,
Sandy, is always growing while ye are
sleeping" Not only is this true, but fruit
tree once in bearing continues to increase
in value so fast that when once planted its
owner is likely to appreciate it so highly
that nothing will induce him to part with
it. Farmers who are puzzled how to keep
their boys on the farm may take a hint
from what we have written. Plant their
land with fruit trees and set them into bear
ing before they die.
1t is well to pillow gardens twice in the
fall. The first time should be as early as
crops can be cleared from them, so az to de-
stroy weeds. The second should be just
before freezing weather. turning the soil up
in ridges and leaving it rough, so as to ex-
pose as much as possible to the weather
On these ridges some Of the earliest crops
may be sown or plasted without further
blowing; in fact before the land is dry
enough to allow the trampng of heavy
teams 1t is thus that the earliest crops of
green pease are grown. The land for later
sown vegetables can be cultivated down to
q mellow filth, and except possibly for roots
that run deep, such spring cultivation will
fit fall-plowed land for seeding better than
will a spring blowing which will turn under
the mellow surface soil.

StrawberrY Culture.

There is no food more delicious than the
strawberry nor one which requires more
strict attention to obtain a profitable crop.
With proper care none yields more abun-
dainty, but the plants soon deteriorate and
the beds needs Tenovating often. A writer
in Seed Time and RarUest in bis experience
says: In associattng with the strawberry
for sixteen years, studying the nature and
wants, have learned that growing them is
not profitable to every one engaged in il.
To grow Strawberries proitaby requires
certain conditions, and to the one that will
not or cannot fill these conditions it will
not prove a profitable business. ANY per-
son who raises good garden every year FOR
his family would oe apt to grow strawber-
ries for his family, but this will not be sut
ficent care and attention to grow them for
market to make il profitable
Stra berries, when grown for profit,
must have attention hen they need it. A
man with his mind absorbed on to-
bacco, cotton, wheat, fine stock or any
branch Of farming, or any other business,
will not be likely to give prompt attention
to strawberries. | know there are men who
have the ability to run several lines of busi-
ness successfully; such men would give
straw berries the needed care and attention,
but such men are an exception and notthe
rule. have had farmers visit nv straw
berry grounds and remark that strawber-
ries were nice, but it was too hot work to
pick the fruit. Men with such
ideas about Strawberries had better
not undertake to grow them unless they can
change their minds. A man who com.
mences to grow Strawberries, with his mind
burdened with doubt as to their being a
profitable crop, will be apt TO prepare the
land hurredly, and if he uses any manure
it will be but very little, aud that of the
poorest on the farm he will select the cheap
est plants to set out, and neglect to give them
proper attention afterward. Such man
will make miserable failure and give the
business bad reputation.
In growing Strawberries success depends
more on the person engaged in it than on
the soil, locality, climate, variety or other
circumstances The principal requisite in
the grower is an intense interest leading to
the careful study of the strawberry and its
wauts, and a faithful aud timely satisfying
of these In fact, to be successful. / believe
one must not only grow for the money that
is in the berries, but he must have a love
for the plants themselves, have a tender
regard for their welfare, love the berries &C
we'll as the money they bring. While straw
berries will bear as much neglect as any
crop the farmer cultivates, yet, for fine
fruit satisfaction and profit it demands
attention and care.

Good Old lines.

It is well, as an old deacon used to say, to
count up our blessings" occasionally,
and this is the way the American Economist
compares the present condition of the
farmer with the good old tirnes.n
Despite all the talk about the hardships
of the farmer, he is king compared to his
father or grandfather.
If he doubts, let him huut up the old gem

note the prices then.

fourths of barrel Of salt; it will now buy
two barrels.
A bushel Of corn would buy 10 pounds

A Lawn With Olaandsra-

What is most pleasing to one may not be

The several varieties Of this tropical plant,
when grouped artistically in a lawn that
has few or no trees, gives a charming pict-
ure that costs very little to maintain after
the plants are once well established.
The oleander is easily propagated aud it
is readily made TO acquire luxuriant pro-
portions. The several varieties embrace
the white, pink, dark red, yellowish white,
with two or three kinds in varying shades
OF rose or lilac. The oleander is q winter

Market Gardening.

AS the gardener wishes to push his crops

locked up that it is not available for plants,
and he has not time for the unlocking of
this rich food to take place in the soil.

Courr-Other Gable News.
LONDON, Oct. 2S.-Thomas Neill Cream
has confessed that from 1874 to 1881,
when he was arrested in Chicago, he
made practice of poisoning dlssolute
girls in Canada. His numerous victims,
he says, were buried without suspicion
on the part of anybody that they had
died unnatural deaths.
A medical expert who has examined
Cream says he undoubtedly suffers from
satyriasis.
All information as to the confession
comes from Mr. Waters, his solicitor,
Mr. Waters says that he will probably
not make the details public until after
the execution.
Cream confessed to him everything
criminal in his Canadian career,
minutely described the girls murdered,
vices to escape detection.
"He fairly made every hair on my
head stand ON end, D." said Mr.. Waters,
last evening. CHS story was startling
beyond anything 1 have ever before
heard.
After his confession Cream became
angry at Mr. Waters, and threatened to
'do" HIM after the trial
Mr.. Waters absolutely refused to make
any further statement.
