Diversity in Farming.

The dependence placed on single crop
is risk taken that is sure at some time
to result in loss. No farmer can afford
to take risks of wet or dry seasons, frosts,
insects and low prices, yet that is the
position in which any farmer who relies
upon single crop is placed. There is
no section of this country and no soil
chat does not permit of diversity OF
crops of some kinds.
The single-crop farmer is compelled
not only to sell at sacrifice at times,
but his cropis often more expensive than
it should be, entailing the cultivation OF
more land than for several crops, and
depriving him Of the results that accrue
from retention of the crop on the farm
and its conversion into some product that
brings large profit. The production OF
manure is also lessened, and the fertility
of the soil not so easily maintained.
Success is more assured when the farm
er grows several kinds OF crops, for then
he may be able To market some kinds,
of stock will enable him to obtain better
prices by consuming large portion at
nome. One of the fields open TO farmers
is to grow articles OF ii choice Kind only.
While inferior articles sell slowly those
that are choice bring high prices.
When the rule is adopted to feed che
inferior portions of a crop 20 stock anu
market the best, the farmer vii be tempt
crops that have before received but little
of his attention.
Last year thousands of barrels of APP
pies were sent to market that should
never have been shipped. Had the APP
pies been carefully assorted, in order TO
nave them uniform in size and quality, a
larger sum would have been obta med
for the choice ones than for the entire lot,
thus not only securing greater pfont'
but lessening the cost of transportation.
Potatoes are staple crop, and are
marketed as harvested, yet when the
farmers procure their seed potatoes III
the spring they pay high prices for those
that appear to be superior to their own,
when, in fact, the seed potatoes had sini-
ply been assorted by hand, only The
largest and most perfect being sold, the
balance of the crop having been retained
by the grower.
There is no reason why the farmer

may look confidently up to God for deliv-
erance. He will always take care of US
while we are in the spot where he has
placed US. When he appoints for US
trials, he also appoints for US the means
of escape. The path of duty, though it
may seem arduous, is ever the path of
safety. We can more easily maintain
ourselves in the most difficult position,
God being our helper, than in apparent
security, relying upon our own strength.

Milk and Butter.

How many pounds of milk are required
to make a pound of butter depends on the
breed and the characteristics of the cows.
Recent experiments made show that it re-
quires from - to 81 pounds of milk
TO make one pound of cream, and from
3 81 to 3 81 pounds of cream to make
one pound of butter. No two cows give
milk that is alike in composition. About
two pounds of milk make one quart

MORE CoRNERMEN NEEDED

Patrolmen Increased.

Chief Brown Again Wants the Number OF
Patrolmen Increased.
In Select Council Chief Brown presented a
report which was received and filed, as to
the number of policemen stationed at cor
ners and attending to business for traction
companies" and while thus employed paid
by the several street car companies. There
are in addition. 25 cornermen, paid by the
city, the report continues, at the regular
rate OF patrolmen, stationed with reference
to the greatest protection. The report then
goes on to state: There should be
at least % additional cornermen
street between the Smithfield street bridge
and Liberty street: on Wood between Fourth
avenue and Market: two at Liberty and
Sixth streets: at Market and Fourth avenue,
Seventh, Ninth, Eleventh and Sixteenth
streets on Penn avenue; at the Lake Erie
depot, and one at South Twelfth street.
Pittsburg is the only city of its size that has
no daylight force. No officers are on duty
between A. NJ. and P. M, except corner
men: 1t is impossible for peaesthbians tha ssa TO
stream of vehicles are hard to separate at
the required Is feet.
'In 1863 there were IL cornermen, and to-
day with the great increase in travel, but

force be increased to enable the city to be
properly covered. This city has but two
reliefs of ten hours each, while in other
cities the force is large enough toallow three
Ieliefs of eight hours each, and protection
thus assured all the day.
In closing the report the chief saws in re-
lation to placing cornermen, "If the street
car companies are incidentally benefited
by this protection. so is the general public,
especially women and children, and if the
city is in duty boundto afford corporations
some protection then the city should be
reimbursed by car license"

Chairman of the State Democratic Com
mittee. He has rented a pretty cottage
and will bring his family here for the
season.
