Root Crops.

Spring turnips are not generally
grown and yet they are an easy crop
and need but little care as compared
with the majority of what may be
termed early garden crops. Some
early variety should be selected, care
taken to prepare the soil in good
filth, scatter the seed evenly and
cover lightly. They can be sown in
drills or broadcast as may be desired.
A good plan is to dust the plants
with some insecticide as soon as they
show well above the ground and re-
peat two or three times to prevent
damage from the black turnip
fly.
Parsnips make one of the best root
| crops to grow for winter and early
spring use. The soil should be worked
deep and thorough in order to secure
a good growth OF long smooth roots.
The seeds are light and need but little
covering and require that the soil be
IN good filth. They terminate very
slowly and it is often a good plan to
SOW a few radish seed with them SO
that if Unnecessary the weeds can be de-
stroyed before they get too good a
start. Plant in drills 1S inches apart;
use plenty OF. seed so as to secure a
good even stand, and then thin out
after the plants are up well,
if necessary; the plants ought not to
stand closer than two or three inches.
Good cultivation is necessary during
the early part OF the season, at
least in order to secure agood growth.
They can be left out all winter with
out injury, and are better for being
frozen.
CaulifoWer needs much the same
treatment as cabbage, except that in
order to secure clean white heads it is
necessary to draw the leaves we'll to-
gether and fasten a, few days before
|. they ripen. They need a good, rich,
well prepared soil. II very early plants
ara desired they can be grown in a
hot bed or seed box. Later plants
may be secured by sowing the seed in
a seed bed. After the plants have.
made g good start togrow, transplant
in rows two and a half feet apart, set
ting the plants two feet apart in the
rows. As with cab age, the early cul-
tivation is the most important and
care must be taken to keep the soil in
good filth. They are not as generally
grown as their excellence warrants, at
deast in the farmers garden, although
market gardeners usually find them a

Royal Rivals.

When Emperor William entertains
at Berlin the girl Queen of the Neither
lands he will not wear too conspicu-
ously one Of his princely titles. The
world has almost forgotten that the
title, "Prince of Orange" borne by the
heir to the throne OF Holland, is also
an adornment of the Prussian royal
house. When William Ill, the Stad-
holder, died in 1902. there were two
claimants to the principality and the
title-one, the person named in Will
liam's will, the other, Frederick 1. Of
Prussia, who claimed territory and
title as being nearer OF kin to William
than Williams nominee Meanwhile
France stepped in, seized the terri
tory, and held it, The princes Of Hol-
land and the kings OF Prussia, how
ever, have kept right on wearing the
title and the coat OF arms.

Growing Corn.

An Eastern farm journal devotes an
entire issue to the subject of corn
growing. Nearly a score of success
ful farmers give their methods of cul-
ture OF their crops, and summary OF
the leading thoughts and suggestions
are made for the benefit OF our readers.
The corn plant requires a rich soil
Tor it's best development, and is a
gross feeder on manure. Sod land is
preferable, and the manure should be
spread on the grass during the pre-
ceeding summer. Good drainage is
important. Fall blowing is advo-
Gated by some in clay soils with
heavy sod. Too much attention can
hardly be given to securing good
seed. This is done early in the fall by
gathering the early maturing ears OF
good form and size with deep grain,
and drying them perfectly before
freezing weather.
Corn wants sunshine. Do not drill
fields that grow extra heavy fodder.
Cultivate with fine tooth harroWs be-
fore corn is I'D. Kill the weeds before
they get through the ground. Cultivate
shallow after the corn is knee high.
Break the crust after every rain. but
do not prime the roots. A rich,
sandy loan, thus treated, should
produce 100 bushels of shelled corn
to the acre IN q most favorable
season.

Buying Farm ln.plemen


Already the agents for agricultural
implements are out among the far
mers attempting to push the work
OF making sales. While wishing them
well, there are two considerations that
every farmer should keep in mind.
First, the buyers must pay for all the
time and money expended by agents
in making their sales. Consumers Of
all lines Of goods pay all expenses,
otherwise dealers would be losing
money and quitting the business as
fast as possible. This being true, do
not farmers allow the incurment OF
too long expense accounts on their
supplies? If an agent spend q day
with horse and buggy in effectlng
one sale of a harrow or mower, his
price must be from 50. so to 81 high
er on that account. Then, too, If he
has reason to believe that he will have
to call once or twice for the purchase
money, after waiting an undue length
of time for it, So or SO more must be
added for that.
We fail to see this in our individual
cases, because we know that we pay
only the customary price; but that
price is fixed, must be fixed to cover
all such expenses. The sales are made
IN an expensive way, and we pay all
the bills. The remedy is simple: In.
stead OF allowing men to spend time
fC n all VIII
your own judgment. Ii you are not
ready to buy it is a piece of imperti-
hence in anyone to waste your time
in an effort to prove that he knows
your business better than you do. If
you are ready to buy nine times out
OF ten the implement that would suit
you is on a neighbours farm. Exam
inc it there, ask the owner all about
it and make your decision. In this
way you will rarely make any mis-
takes.
When it is decided that an nipple
nent is to be bought, and q certain
kind is sure to give perfect satisfac.
ton, 60 direct to the dealer with the
cash, even if it has to be borrowed at
10 per cent. A confidential
cut price will always be
made you, as such sales pay
and please all dealers. Ii they can
make So or So on a $3Osale merely by
a five minute talk, and run no risks,
they do as well as to make SIS or So,
after a days trip to see you and with
a chance OF having to wait months
for their money.
Another point is this: Tt is seldom
wise to buy an implement different
from those near you, as it does not
pay dealers to keep the supplies.
They may say supplies will be kept,
but if the implement is crowded out
by those Of other manufacturers,
usually it is difficult to replace the
worn parts without vexatious delay.
The writer allowed himself to make
such a mistake in buying a pillow,
which, although it didgood work, had
small sale in his section, and it was
finally thrown away because repairs
were so hard to get. With mowers
and reapers repairs are even more inn
portant, andsother things being equal,
always buy a machine that has gotten
q foothold in your neighborhood, and
then stock Of repairs will not fail to
be kept.

Seasoning Farm Horses.

Spring is the hardest season OF the
year on farm horses. During the win
ter they are partly or wholly idle, and
they come out of the stables with
softened muscles and tender shout
ders- Spring work usually pushes,
and, too often, teams are overworked.
They lose flesh and become jaded be-
fore the crops are planted. It is far
better to do only moderate work the
first two weeks. This does not mean
half work at all, but only little hus-
banding OF strength until exercise
hardens the muscles.
The horse that is granted during
the winter bears up under severe
spring work much better than one
kept in condition on more bulky food.
The oats, bran and corn rationmakes
firm tissue. In any case it is only
humanity to accustom the teams to
labor by degrees. Shoulders should
be washed every evening with strong
salt water, and the draft on collar
carefully adjusted. Hame hooks on
most patent names are too low, let
ting the weight of load come on the
point OF the shoulder. Collars are
more often too large rather than too
small.

Against Large Herds.

The Texas Live Stock Journal says
that the day OF large herds of cattle,
horses or sheep in Texas, is rapidly
drawing to a close. The future
successful stockman will raise feed
enough to carry his thin stock
through the winter, while the sue
cessful farmer will raise enough live
stock to consume and turn to good
account all the feed his farm will pro-
duce.

Poisons,

The West Virginia station offers the
following cautions to farmers using
poisonous substances for the destruc-
ton OF insect enemies:
The poison should be kept in safe
place, and plainly labeled poison.
Do not distribute the poison with
the hands
Always keep to the windward side
OF plants or trees when applying the
powder or liquid
Do not use them upon leaves or
fruits that are soon to be eaten.
There is seldom, if ever, any danger in
eating vegetables and fruit after they
have been exposed to the rain and
sun q few weeks, as several pounds or
bushels of treated fruit or Vegetables
would have to be consumed at one
time by one individual to get 81 suffi-
Gent dose OF the poison to produce
serious results.
Test the strength OF the diluted mix
ture OF @ few plants first to ascertain
if the mixture will injure the leaves.
Never apply it to fruit trees while in
bloom, as the poison will kill the bees
so necessary to the formation OF per.
feet fruit.

When to Sow Onion Seed.
Many amateurs do not know at
what time to SOW onion seeds to
raise sets. when they are gathered,
and how taken care Of The Country
Gentleman thus makes the matter
plain: '"The sets are required of small
growth, and therefore a poor soil is
better than rich one; this soil is thor

the seed sown by a line quite thickly,
as large ones are apt to run up to seed,
the bulbs should not be less than the

August, dried, bedded in chaf four
inches deep, and covered with several
inches OF hay for protection through
winter. EARLY in spring they are set
out in extra rich land, thoroughly

about them. They are to be kept

Tomato the Best.

The American tomato is the best,
in the world. In England it is raised
principally as a dollhouse crop, and
hence is a luxury. But its use is in
creasing in England and in d few
years will be 10 times what it now is.
There is no doubt that by proper Sc
lection and proper packing the
tomato can be exported to the
British isles at a profit to American
growers. a greater consumption of
canned vegetables will follow.

Why Do Widows Outnumber the

One curious fact which every CEN

OF widows over widowers. The usual
ratio is s per cent, OF the female pop

the male population as widowers.
By some optimistic persons Of the
female sex, this disparity has been
explained on the ground that mar

OF the married state, are glad to re-

Simple Expedients Which Lead to
Important Results.
The fault with most artificial mem
Dry systems is that they are too elab-
crate, and break down from the inn
practlcability of their conditions.
For the purpose Of improving the
memory Of Figures, alittle trouble and
common sense will go further than
most OF these so-called mennonite sys-
TENS. It is beyond question that
some people have the inestima-
BILE boon OF a good memory, but in
many cases q poor memory is mainly
the result OF carelessness and want of
attention. By the exercise Of steady
determination the power ofconceatra-
ton necessary for improving the
memory can be gradually gained.
The mind must not be loaded too
much. A little every day is quite
enough, but that little must be we'll
and earnestly grappled with. Il this
is done conscientiously the results
will soon be most gratifying.
The amount OF money spent daily,
no matter how inconsiderable the
items may be, may be written down
at night from recollection. II a note
is given or taken the amount of it, the
timeit was given and the date of it's
maturity, together with the rate Of in

difficulty. The number of q street in

as the number Of apple, peach, pear
trees in your orchard, if you are lucky
enough to have one, and innumerable
other items ofdaily life can be utilized
as memory lessons. The main point
is that there must be no Sinking.
The memory is debilitated and indo-

itself can only beovercome by resolute

healthy and vigorous action. The
discipline is not altogether pleasant,
but it pays. -Pittsburg Dispatch.
