OUR RURAL TOPICS.
Some Practical Suggestions for Our
Agricultural Readers

We often hear complaints that orchards do
not bear as they used to- and We do not wonder
at it In early days orchards were set out in
virgin soil stored with the accumulated fertility
of the centuries, and the trees grew and bore
fruit profusely. OF late years the orchard Il
usually set out on some plot that has been
under cultivation for years. and usually the
land is put IN some crop each year until the
trees come into bearing, in order to euItivzts
them. and this exhausts the land more or lesa.
After the trees come into bearing, no more
attention il paid to the orchard, az q rule, -
far as applying fertilizers and in few years
it begins to fail.
If proper attention were paid to this matter,
orchards would bear as well now as they did
years ago. They should be regularly fertiliEsa
and the ground kept under cultivation, IL the
crops taken off did not more than pay for the
labor put on them. Potash in some form
should be applied, and in those sections where
wood is used rs fuel all the ashes should be pGt
on the orchard. "a they are the cheapest source
of potash to the average farmer. Stable ma
nure is good, and the blowing under Of clover
will keep up the supply Of plant food. Ts
make the most profit out of an orchard, 10
should be as carefully cared for a. any other
part Of the farm

There is at least one State at the West whsrs
the farmers are alive to the value of corn fodder
for their cows. In Wisconsin, thers are new
more than 5000 silOs, and IS In single town.
These, with productive fields Of grass and
grain, make the dairy business there one q
the most profitable branches Of agriculture.
This thrift is due in large measure to the fact
that the farmers there read the agricultural

Joseph Mehan recommends the top grating
of apple trees instead of the root grating pro-
cess by which most nursery stock is produced.
This is especially important for the Baldwin,
apple. which is somewhat tender. and DOES
better when grown other roots than its own.
This fact may explain the increasing difficulty
in growing good crops OF Baldwins. Once il
was regarded as an always safe and abundant
bearer. That was in the time when most %
the Baldwin apple trees were top grated. Is
is much more trouble to top graft, but the sd-
ditional labor once performed need not be done
over again in the whole life Of the orchard.

When feeding oats on the farm it will b
found more economical to feed in the straw
than to thrash them. If they are run through
a cutting-box the stock will est them up %
of straw or grain, and in no other way can the
straw be fed to such good advantage. They
are fed in connection with shorts, middlingE
oats, corn, clover and other green stufs, and
are considered excellent for laying hens or
growing chickens.

The Southdown has often been termed the
rich mans sheep, says George McKerrow,
mainly. l suppose, because this breed Is fOsters4
largely by the nobility of England and the
aristocrscy Of America, as well as from the fact
that his flesh is the finest grained and best
favored, which causes the aforementioned
classes to seek it for use upon their tables.
The market is the finale of nearly all the
sheep grown. and it is in fitting for and selling
upon the market that the SoathdoHn becomes
prominently the poor mans sheep.
There are two considerations that influences
every good sheep feeder in choice Of breed
to feed for market: First, . good and quick
return for food consumed. In this respect the
Southdown is second to none, as all competitive
tests at experiment feeding stations viii
testify, notably the fVe-years' test at the On
tario Station, whore the grade Southdowa
showed an average profit Of $3.50. followed
closely by its relatives the Shropshire and OK
ford. leaving far behind the other mutton
breeds, none of which came within $3.50 per
head of the profit Of the little SOuthdOWn.
Second, sheep that will turn the food con-
sumed into the highestpricsd product. Every
good mutton market in the world will testify
to the claims of the Southdown on this point
Even the Chicago market recognizes the msrit
of the choice Southdo1n.

Meissonier's paintings are all the
rage in Paris just now and the stories
in which the artist is the hero seem to
be innumerable. 1t now turns out
that he inherited his artistic genius
from his mother. His father kept a
shop and thoroughly despised the as
pirations of the young man. very

Meissonier accepted the offer. He be-
gan by peddling his sketches, but he
was not successful, and the 10 cents a
day was not always sufficient to keep
him. Every time that he was sorely

worries Fair open ON sunday.

The Worlds Fair Council OF Administration
issued an order last Wednesday for the opening
of the Exposition on Sunday. The National
Commission. a body created by Congress, to
whom the resolution was referred, refused by a
vote of 2o 10 as, to modify the order. and the
gates of the great Fair were accordingly opened.
The Directors of the Illinois corporation create
the rules by which the Exposition is governed
and conducted. but these rules are subject TO
modification by majority of the whole number
of members of the National Commission created
by Congress for that purpose. Last Fall the
Local Directory passed resolution closing the
Fair on Sundays. The rule was approved by
more than majority of the National Commis-
sion. This was done to receive the $2,ooo,o ,ooc
granted by Congress on condition that the gates
should not be open on Sundays.
The question now is, which rule is valid, the
first or second. A decision from the U. S. SUI
preme Court will be probably necessitated to
settle the matter. An injunction would be the
only way to close the gates on Sunday, in the
meantime.
