tinued easily soluble it would be
washed out of the soil and lost.
When it becomes insOluble il is said
to be reverted phosphate, and is then
less soluble than fine bone freshly
ground. 1t should be remembered
that all seeds aud roots in growing
develop carbOnic acid gas i'll the soil,
and this is able to make ordinary or
! even reverted phosphate soluble; so,
if there be nitrogen enough i'll the
soil to start plants to growing, they
will get what phosphate they need,
provided it is within their reach, IN
whatever form it may be.
Different sorts of talent are needed
for different branches Of the business
Of agriculture. a man who might
make Il very great success in grow
ing wheat or corn might easily make
a very great failure in fruit-grOwiug,
not because Of any lack OF industry
or Intelligence, but because he did
not possess just the pdi1aSt0ki1tg tai
eat that is needed ABOVE all Things
else in successful fruit culture. In
tue first place, if he had been used to
handling large areas he would find it
hard to restrict himself to the desira-
BILE limit in the new occupation. II
he had been growing 100 acres of corn
he would want at least so of fruit,
when 10 would be quite enough, and
this 10 acres should have as much
attention bestowed upon it-lud a.
much labor, although of Il different
sOrt--as the 100 acres of corn, aud if
it receives this, At the right time and
in the proper manner, the result,
both gross and net, will be quite as
large rs from the ten times as large
corn field. \ friend OF ours, very
excellent all-rOund farmer, recently
decided to give his exclusive atten-
ton to fruit, and began at once to
plant his very large farm. He kept
right on until he found his capital
was becoming exhausted; in fact,
nothing but lack of capital prevented
him from planting the whole county. !
or course, he had more than he could |
take care Of, aud his failure followed /
in few years. Another man in the |
same vicinity began with 20 acres, |
he decided to plant with the very |
best fruit AID to bring them to the |
highest perfection by heavy manur- |
ing and frequent and close cultiva-
ton. Some people thought him foo |
ish when they saw the labor he be- |
lowed upon his trees and the manure |
he carted upon the lot, but his plum
trees began to bear in two years, his |
pear trees in three, and his orchards
give a gross income every year of
from $3.50 to $3.50. Such lessons as
these should be studied and their |
moral taken well to heart.

STOCK FARM AND GARDEN.

Good prices will not help the mar
.ISs<IGST6r neRiects to take good care OF his
implements. Remember that they
will rust out much faster than they
will wear out.
Feeding whole cOrnstalks makes
the manure hard to handle. 1t will
be economy of labor in the end il you
will first run them through the cut
ting box. II does not hurt their feed
ing value, either.
II you found that it paid well to

thing agAin-Only doubling the appli-
cation. The last load of manure il
the one that pays best-every time.
Whenever you plant tree put in
q stout stake beside it. Then tie the
tree to the stake with band of straw
twisting the band In the form OF a
figure eight. This will prevent all
injury to the tree by being rubbed
against the stake by swaying back
and forth.
In every fruit or vegetable growing
region there should be cold-stOrage

In any other way it will pay growers

will enable them to hold stock and
ship when the market is best, and by
enabling them always to ship in car
lots will largely reduce the expenses
OF carriage.
Gardeners who grow tomatoes for
market find that the extra large sorts
are not so desirable as the medium
sized. Some OF LivingstOn's va
Tieties, such as the Beauty and Favor
lite, have no equals for a general crop.
These are invariably smooth, uniform
in size, of fine flavor, and the vines
will continue to produce fruit right
through to the end of the season.
II you want to grow onions and
make anything at it, you must make
the soil extremely fine and rich and
keep it absolutely free from weeds.
Then grow the large, handsome sorts

pure lead, zi1c and French ocher, in
equal parts, mixed with raw linseed oil,
make the ideal paint. All these sub
stances combine perfectly and form a
smooth, hard, durable surface of light
straw color that will neither peel, crack
nor rub off. 1t is so nearly white that
it is not an Objectionable color for bee
hives.
The idea is now advanced that there
is a connection between hard winters
and good honey seasons.
a beekeeper recommends candy pals

lates they can be shipped anywhere.
A Canadian spiarist is Of opinion that
bees wear out and die mora quickly in

than whore the air is still. Hence the
importance of selecting sheltered lo-
cality.
