VALUE OF CORNSTALKS.

From one acre of land the farmer can raise three times the quantity of corn stalks for siage than he can possibly grow of hay. These corn-stalks, when properly preserved, are even more valu- able and nutritious, ton to ton, than the hest hay. The best application that can be made of all kinds of manure coming from stables is on the seeding grasses, and it should be put on before losing any of it's chemical properties. By doing this you get large piece of clover. which en- sures you in the next rotation profit able crop of what you may think profit able 10 grow. There is but small amount of plant food in dry weeds, stalks or coarse litter If any kind; yet, in a majority of cases, everything of this kind should be plowed under. While it may not add very materially to the fertility, it will halp to keep the soil loose and fri able, not only making it easier to work, but affording better opportunity for the roots of the plants to penetrate it.

THE FARM POPULATION.

Statistician F. c. White of the census bureau says that the decrease in the per ceut of farm population since 1850 is very small; that the increase in city po- pulation is due to the relative decrease in village population, which in turn is chiefly due to the country mechanics and small factories having been absorbed by cities and large manufacturing establish ments. The figures regarding farm pop ulation are doublv Significant; they fail to show the drifting away that is so universally believed in, and give a dismal emphasis to the fact that since 1860 the aggregate of farm wealth has decreased from one-half of the entire national wealth to about one-fifth of it. In all the years of the government prior to 1860 farm wealth had been about one half of the total wealth, but since that date it has rapidly fallen into the place it now occupies.

ROSE CULTURE.


 5. 4. Little writes as follows to the Country Gentleman: ssAfter years of rose-growing in an amateur way, I have decided that there is more pleasure to be derived from tea roses than from the other sorts, though should always de- sire to number few of the best hybrids among my collections. I get roses enough from the young bushes the first year to pay for the expense of buying and caring for tfletn, and 1 feel very sure that a large percentage of them will sur vive an ordinary winter in this latitude 43 degrees. I have a Perlesdes Jardins which is at least 10 years old. It dies to the ground nearly every win ter, but spring finds it's way to it's heart and new shoots come up to greet the sun- shine, which bloom almost constantly after rose time begins. My best success in Wintering tender roses has been at tained when the earth has been drawn up around, not over, the plants before the

Ey ENTs OF A WEEK.

Here are some of the happenings Of the past week: The Crusader Command cry Knights Templar's demonstration, Thursday evening week, is reported as something exceptionally brilliant. The hall in the armory was decorated by professional decorators who literally transformed it into a fairy palace; and the ladies in beautiful costumes seemed fairies come to possess their own. The walls and ceilings were draped in soft colored material, white and pale green predominating, pleasant to the eye and graceful to the artistic taste. The grand march and subsequent dancing under brilliant electric light, represented be- wilderingly beautiful and facnating

BENEFITS OF SNOW.

In olden times snow was said to be equal to 2 coating of manure on the soil. Snow benefits the plants by protecting the roots, adds nitrogen to the soils that it takes from the air, and induces chemi- cal action to 2 certain extent, by ysshading the ground. It's benefits mparted to the soil as a fertilizing agent is slight, how ever. compared win an application of manure.
