TALK! TALK!

Everybody talks more or less,
generally more, but talk is
cheap and don't amount to
much without some get up and
get to help it along in hard
places and hard times.
Now I want to say a little
talk right here that think will
be to cverybody's interest, to
Morris in particular. That is
to say have a very good stock
Of general merchandise that
am selling at reasonable prices.
Not the biggest stock, not the
cheapest stock, not the largest
stock, no, no, but just common
everyday goods and prices.
l will be glad to see my friends
at any time. If you want to
sell produce of any kind, come
and see me. If you want to
buy anything in the merchan-
disc line | will do my best to
please you. Come in and let
us talk awhile.
Respectfully,

EFFECT OF NARROWING GRAIN.

Passing over a field of spring oats
which showed leaves three to four inches
high, we were reminded of many points
that would be of importance to the own.
er if nc we're aware of them. In the
first place, there was plentiful supply
of annual weeds from small seeds that,
though much smaller and less firmly
rooted than the grain, would soon be-
come firmly rooted and a serious injury
to it. Narrowing with even the lightest
drag would uproot most of these and
destroy them. 1t would also break the
crust that had formed over the surface
from rains that fell before the grain was
up. The grain was sown by the drill,
and the narrowing, while not disturbing
its strongly rooted growth, would break
down the ridges and spread mulch
around its roots. If it also covered
some of the leaves, no injury would be
done. The root, invigorated by cultiva-
ton, would send up two leaves in place
of every one that was injured. The
stirring of the soil, as is well understood
would increase its available fertility, be
sides destroying weeds that preyed upor
it.-Boston Cultivator.

PEAS FOR FEEDING.

Peas grown for feeding should be
mixed with oats or barley, as the mixed
crop will yield as much as the two
grown separately. 1t is habit of most
plants to enjoy company and grow as
well together as il separate. Some,
however, succeed better in this way than
Others, and those mentioned, and whea
and rye, corn and beans, or COW peas, or
pumpkins seem to do better than Others
The quantity of seed sown is the same
as for each alone, as ~ bushels of oats
and II of peas. 1t is better to grow fax
alone, as this grain is of little use for
feeding until the seed is ripe, the straw
having little nutriment. New York
Times.

ACE FnR wEAN1Ne COLTS

The age for weaving colts varies in
different countries. Naturally the colt
suckles for about nine months, but
British farmers only allow colts to suckle
five or six, while the Arabs, who are
very expert breeders of the horse, allow
the colt to remain with the dam only one
month, then remove it, aud for the next
three months after weaving the foal is
fed exclusively on camel's milk but when
four months old the colt is allowed a
little wheat soaked in water, in addition
to the milk. These milk and grain
rations are kept up for about 100 days,
with pickings of grass, barley, dates, etc.
OF course, the ration is increased
gradually as the foal increases in size and
age.-New York Sun.

TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES.

The Canada Temperance Act is now 10
force in thirty-three counties in the DO
minion.
During the last fiscal year there were pro-
duced in the United States III, 1856, ia gal
Ions OF distilled spirits.
There are now upwards Of 500 churches in
Scotland where unfermented wine alone is
used for the communion.
France had, in 1891, 4,54l 800 acres of
vineyards, which yielded an average of 152
gallons OF wine per acre of land.
At Elgin, H., twenty nine saloon keepers
have taken out licsnse for the coming year,
paying $1,000 EACH fer the privilege.
Father Nugent of Liverpool, a pro-
nounced temperance advocate, has been ap-
pointed Domestic Prelate to the Pope.
The Boston representative of Bonfort's
Wine and Spirit Circular says the demand
for New England run is increasing"
Half a million persons, it is said, are in one
way or another employed on the Sabbath in
connection with the drink traffic, and 200
900 of these are young women.
Sir Wilfrid Lawson, in recalling the hard
names that have been and still are hurled at
temperance reformers, reminds them. in his
usual happy style, that fanatics are earnest
men in a minority, and faddist is one W 10
knows something more than the rest of the
people.
Archbishop Ireland says; "He is ignorant
of human nature who does not see that a
thousand will drink when temptation presses
upon them for the hundred who will put
themselves to some difficulty to seek out
liquor Our working classes are, we might
say, compelled to drink and become drunk
ards, So strong are the temptations with
which we are beset."
Charles Lamb looking back upon hi:
childhood, wrote this as a warning TO 9TH
ers: "Coull the youth to whom the flavor
of his first glass was delicious look into my
desolation aud be made 10 understand what
a dreary thing it is when a man feels him
self going down a precipice, with open eye
and a passive will, to see his destruction and
not 10 have power of will 10 stop It, and yet
to feel it all the way emanating from HIM
self, TO perceive all goodness emptied out OF
him, and yet not be able to forget the time
when il was otherwise-how he would avoid
the first temptation TO drink.'

FIELD EXPERIMENTS WITH CORN.

The agricultural station of the Uni
versity of Illinois has been conducting
experiments in the culture of corn for
four years, of which results have been
published in its bulletins. The soil of
the station grounds has great natural
fertility, hence many of the results there
found would doubtless be different in
other situations less favorable to large
yield of corn. Only such will be men
toned here as it is thought will be OF
general interest.
In 1891 for the first time in four years,
there was a larger yield from plat deep
cultivated than from one shallow cult.
waited. For four years the average yields
have been at the rate of seventy -one
bushels from deep, seventy.six from
shallow cultivated plats and seventy
three from plats not cultivated except
to remove weeds by scraping the surface
with u hoe.
No appreciable effect on yield of field
corn resulted FROM cutting the tops when
In good condition for fodder or from re-
moving the tassels from alternate rows
as they appeared.
Experiment made for three years illus.
trate the fact that there is relatively little
dry matter in corn during the early stages
of its growth.
The average yields for the four years
are in favor of planting from the 11th to
the 10th of May, any time in May being
safe for a medIum-maturing variety.
May 10th, 1891, three equal and ad-
jacent plsts were ploughed as nearly as
possible at depths of two, five and ten
inches and planted to corn. The differ
ence in yield was so slight that it can
not be said with confidence that the
difference in the depth of ploughing
caused it.
Alternate rows were root -pruned three
times from June 19 to July 10 to depth
of four inches, each hill standing within
an area twelve inches square, around
which the knife was run. The operation
caused decrease at the rate of twenty
four bushels per acre.
For three years plats Of corn have been
cut for fodder at three different periods
as nearly as might be when the ears
were in the milk stage, when they were
nearly mature, and when the plant was
fully ripened. In each year there was
a noticeably less yield, both of the whole
crop and of the grain, from the early
harvested plats than from either of the
others. The yield of corn has been
largest from the fully ripened plats. Elk.
cept when the soil is very dry, covering
the seed well, one to two inches is bet
ter than deeper covering.
In such soil as that at the station the
chief good from cultivation seems to be
in killing the weeds rather than in loos-
ening the soil. Cultivating four inches
deep, within six to ten inches of the
stalks after they have made a fair
growth, will destroy many of the roots.

THE IDEAL NURSERY,

Mrs. Gladstone, writing on the ideal
nursery in the Ladies' Home journal,
says; ga room fifteen feet square and
nine feet high affords ample initial cubic
space for a nurse and two children.
With good and careful management, a
nurse, infant, aud two other young
children have occupied bedroom of
this size without detriment to health.
No useless articles of furniture or OF
drapery were allowed entrance; both a
dressing g-room and a bathroom were
close at hand; care was taken to keep
the air of the room pure, no open
pans were allowed to remain; the door,
never quite closed, admitted light and
air from the passage; the two windows
were partly opened on the summer nights;
and the fire always lighted before bed
time in the winter. The temperature of
the water used for washing an infant
should be nearly that of the body
ninety-six degrees or ninety eight degrees
Fahrenheit. As the child grows older,
the heat of the water should be gradually
lessened, while the limbs should be al.
lowed free exercise in large tub. Some
children do not bear cold water we'll !;
good sense, discrimination, and observa.
tion should be our guides in this as in
all other matters"

CLEANING KID GLOVES.

To clean kid or leather gloves, wash
them with soap and water, and stretch
them on wooden hands, or pull them
into shape without stretching them;
next rub them with pipe-clay or yellow
ochre, or mixture of the two of any
required shade, made into paste with
beer. Let them dry gradually, and,
when about balf dry, rub them well, so
as to smooth them and put them into
shape. Then dry them, brush out the
superfluous color, cover with paper aud
smooth with warm iron. Other colors
than the ochre can be mixed with the
