Raising Vegetables for Market
The first consideration is nature or
Adaptability Of soil, which if not good
must be made SO by the addition Of
fertilizers and by drainage, both OF
which cannot be too well do.ee We
prefer a deep, sandy loan, with porous,
but not leachy subsoil, so that water
may find its way readily to the drains,
and not stand long on the surface.
We prefer both fall and winter plOW
ing, to destroy numerous burrowing
insects as well as to expose the soil
to the ameiorating action Of freezing
an2 thawing. Crops for blowing under
cannot be proftably grown on a mar
ket garden. Land is too valuable, for
the location must be near market, and
where there is supply Of fertilizers,
J abundance of raw material, which must
be constantly supplying the place of
the manufactured product Of fresh,
tender and succulent vegetables.
Always secure the very best Of tested
seeds. Plant all small seeds in hotbed,
cold frame, or seed boxes, and while
they are growing and the ground is
warming destroy millions and millions
Of weed seeds which have been carried
on the ground by the wind and in the
manure, by using the horse cultivator
or different kinds Of zharrows. 3
Have system, by planting in long,
straight rows. Plant early maturing
varieties together, next medium, next
late AS soon as early varieties are
about gone clear the ground and Occu-
py it with something else. For instance,
early peas, turnips, potatoes, cabbage,
lettuce, radish, ETC., followed by late
varieties Of same, or. celery, spinach,
winter onions, or corn drilled in for
feed, or millet for green feed or hay.
Commence cultivation Immediately
after planting. Destroy all weeds as
soon as sprouted Cultivate often If
too wet for horse use hand wheel cul-
hvator or prong hoe close to the row.
If too dr. we have used vely. success,
fully a fiat, smooth rock, fifty to one
hundred pounds weight, just wide
enough to pass between the rows, with
hole drilled on one edge or wire fasten
ed around it to hitch horse Thy. It de
stroys weeds and stops evaporation OF
moisture by pulverizing and compactine
| the surface.
Market only the best, put up in thu
| best and most attractive manner. Han

Keep sufficient stock, cows and pigs
to use up all inferior product, corr
stalks, pea vines, sweet potato vines
vegetable trimmings, etc. Have suita
BILE and CONVENIENT places for storage
of same, small pit or silo, frost-proof
is good, for winter supply.

A Few Pointers.

When a farmer can haul 100 bushels
OF wheat to market with a single pair
OF horses he can materially reduce
the cost of marketing his crops. Good
roads will enable him to do this.
I'm discussing the question Of good
roads not enough attention is paid ia
the methods Of preserving them after
they are made. Wide tires on the
wagons are important to this end.
In France, where they have the best
roads in the world, fOur-inch to six
inch tires are common.
]. The worst idea that farmer can get
dmt0 his head is that he needs more
land. We have seen good many
farms, but seldom one where more Ia
Dor could not be better employed than
more land.
Dead leaves, corn, stalks and an rub
bish which will decay may be disposed
Of better than by burning. This by
making into compost heap, which
in future value to the gardener will
repay all the labor that you put upon
it.
The first spring work consists of the
very important matter of clearing
up. Don't begin anything else until
you have cleared up the entire prem
ises and freed them from the unsightly
accumulat lions always disclosed by win
ter's departure.
There is little time in early summer
when even the best farmers are apt
to get rushed, because the weeds grow
SO fast. Rattle than let them get
ahead Of you it will pay to hire extra

Some Valuable Pointers.

A calf that is neglected and stunted
the first six months of it's life is really
not worth anything for beef. While
subsequent feeding may bring it out a
fairly good animal, it will be at cost
that will wholly absorb the profit that
might have resulted from better meth
DDS. 84@sissS
Farming differs from any other bust
ness in the world, in that it demands
the personal care and oversight Of the
proprietor in every minute detail. This
is the reason why small farming pays
better than large farming, and is also
the reason why attempts to carry on
agriculture upon the wholesale plan
have rarely been successful.
We often see difference in the yield
of staple crops, such as corn and wheat,
upon adjacent farms that is not at all
justified by the difference in the land.
Yet the man who has the poor crop is
very slow to admit that the trouble
is with himself, and will lay the blame
ON the land or the weather, without re-
gard to the fact that his neighbor has
not suffered from such causes.
Methods of stock growing that We're
based upon cheap and abundant lands
must be laid aside for such as are conl-
patible with increased values. There
is nothing in our agriculture more sure
than this, that we must adapt our meth
DDS to just this change in land values.
If your stock has not come out this
spring in quite as good shape as you ex.
pected, it may be because you did not
have as good winter shelter rs you
should. 1t would be a good idea to
hook into that during the summer and
prepare to remedy the difficulty
1t is not easy for a dairyman to have
more sweet corn than he can find good
use for. If you happen to have any
vacant spaces, as the seasons planting
progresses, you can hardly do better
than to fill in with this
Starch mills would be to advantage
In most potato growing districts Tn
seasons OF large crop and low prices
they help to maintain the proper
equilibrium. To be most effective in
this they should be owned and CON
troI1ed by the growers.

4 Perfect Butter Mt One Operations.
q II little skill is developed in making,
washing, sailing, working and packing
butter at one operation, the results are
quite satisfactory. John Could de-
scrlbes his process as follows:
~ Taking slightly acid cream, put it in
q revolving churn, and churn it until
1T begins to show signs of breaking,
When a little weak brine should be
added to the cream to assist in the sep
aration.. When the butter grains are
the size. of small shot, and before taking
out any buttermilk, add two-thirds as
much cold water as there is butter,
ETC., in the, churn Agitate a little,
draw off this diluted fluid and repeat I'M
til the water comes clear. Then let
1t drain in churn for short time,
and then add the salt by the use Of
a little wooden fork. Let the butter
remain undisturbed for ha:f hour,
when the cover is put on and the churn
slowly revolved for five or more min
utes. Then take this fork and break
up the butter balls that have formed
in the churn, and iberate the butter
milk inside of them. Then rechurn,
and at the conclusion Of the operation,
pack the butter into the little pals
by adding a pound or so at a time,
turning off the moisture each time I'M
til the pail is full. Then cover the top
with a cloth wet in some of the brine
that came from the churn, and sprinkle
on dry salt and put on cover; and if Tie
butter cannot be sold that day put it
in as cool a place as possible, end sell
at the first opportunity, not that it
must be, but the great damage to the
butter market is in the producers hold
ing their butter for some reason, un.
til it has lost it's fine flavor" j.@

A Horse in. a Balloon,

The most novel attraction this year
in famous German circus is horse
that goes up in ba1lon. The animals
name is Osman Pasha, and, as he is .
proud black fellow of fine proper
ton, and seems to understand the dis
tinction heaped upon him, he is very
popular with all his audiences The
first time Osman went up in balloon
he offered little objection to stepping
into the car, but the second invitation
was respectfully declined by him, and
a great deal of coaXing was resorted
to before he could be induced to make
the ascent. In fact, several months OF
training were necessary before Osman
would step into the car at the COM
mand of his trainer. Now he stands
absolutely still in the car. although the
attendants swing it. furiously. It is
the fireworks which end the act that
he does not like. When they are-
touched off he pricks up his ears anda
snorts furiously. When he is finally
released he dashes towards the stable.
as if he were glad the performance
was over. 1t is related that when, in
1873, Joseph Montgolfer experimental
with his hot-air balloon at Versailles in
the presence Of the court Of France, a
sheep, a rooster and {; duck were
placed in a suspending cage, SO that
the first aeronautS We're three domestic
animals The sudden ascent, however,
had bad effect on the peace of the
family, the otherwise meek sheep go
ing SO far as to lose his temper and
kick the rooster, fracturing his wing.
Advice for Young People.
The secret of getting through work is
method. Do not let your work accu-
mulate upon your hands. It is not
work that kills, but arrears of work:
work put off is work put on with heavy
interest. Sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof it becomes sintoler-
able if it be laid upon tomorrow.
If I may recommend you three rules
for saving time and economizing
strength they shall be these: Answer
letters, keep appointments, make I'M
your minds.
d 1t is Well to take up some subject
Though with proper discretion) out
side your ordinary school work There
is virtue in doing something that YOU
need not do. And whether your sub
ject be literature, art, science, or poll
tics, it will serve to brush the cobWebs
from your mind. You will not imagine
that I approve the neglect Of definite
duties. | do not forget that the plea
of culture has occasionally been put
forward as a cloak for simple indo-
lence. It is only duty thoroughly done
which gives the right Of going beyond
the limits of duty.

Making a Start With Sheep.
A. correspondent Of. NATIONAL Stock

= Making Start with sheep.
&. A. correspondent Of. National Stock
man offers those who are contemplating
a start in sheep, few suggestions from
his own observation. He says: Make
the sheep a special study for time,
SO you can come to some definite con-
clusion. Make up your mind thoroughly
as to what your object is in keeping
flock Of sheep, whether it is wool or
mutton. If you decide to make wool
your principal object, buy the Merino,
for it is strictly speaking the wool
sheep. II you are SO situated that you
can make mutton the principal object
and wool secondary, by all means breed
nothing but the best breed Of mutton
sheep, either the Southdown or Shrop-
shire, as they stand at the head of all
mutton producing breeds Of sheep.
After you have decided upon the breed
wanted, adopt that breed by starting
with a couple of pure bred sheep, and
you will soon have the foundation of
the flock laid with but little expense.
Then make that particular breed a life
time study, try to make all the improve
ments that good care, selection and
feed will produce, never crossing the
different breeds, but breeding straight.

Preventing Potato scab.

Preventing Potato Scab.
+ After a series of experiments Prof
Boney, Of the North Dakota station,
comes to the conclusion that he can
avoid the production of scabby pota-
toes if not entirely eradicate the dis
ease. He finds no substantial evidence
that any soil of whatsoever kind can
in itself give origin to the disease. But
the disease germ can and does remain
in the ground from crop to crop for at
least four years. Scabby or disease
bearing seed tubers can and will, un-
der ordinary circumstances, produce a
diseased crop. But soaking the seed
tubers before planting in chemical solu-
tons enables him to raise an undiseased
product from the scabbiest of seed
where the ground was known to be free
from disease. ....

Wheat ShrinkaEe.

According to the Ohio experiment,
station in a test made with stored
wheat it was found that when grain is
threshed dry from the field the loss in
weight by storage is only 2 1-3 per cent
ON the average. The last weighing
was made when the grain had been
in the bins three years. Another exper-
lment proved that condition of weather
affects weight Of stored grain. Twenty
bags Of dry wheat were put in a bin
in January, 1892, and left through the
extraordinarily wet spring and early
summer that followed, being re-weighed
IN July. It was found that the aggre-
gate weight Of the twenty bags was a
few pounds greater than when stored

Eject Of the Exclusion Law Upon He.
Jigisus Work In the Empire.
NEW YORK, Aug. S1.--The Presbyterian
board of foreign missions has Just received
n copy OF the report of committee, up,
pointed by the recent synod OF China TO
draft resolutions concerning the effect OF
the Chinese exclusion law upon the cause
Of Christianity In the empire. This report
Il the first official action taken by any re-
ligIous body In China upon that subject
since the act was declared constitutional.
The document proceeds: "The synod OF
China, representing Immediately five pres
byteries. with nearly O, 900 native Christians
scattered from Picking to Canton, and in
directly the whole Christian church In
China, desires 20 record its dissatisfaction
with the act of congress in regard to the
Chinese In America.
III the American people desired to re-
strict immigration Of the Chinese we be-
lieve they could have readily effected their
purpose by diplomatic negotiations and
mutual concessions, without disturbing
or eudangering the harmonious relations
which for many years existed, and should
ever exist, between tho United States and
China.
Now, as the result of this unhappy
legislation, we have grave reasons to fear.
not only that the Chinese in America may
be embittered against the religion of the
land, but that missionaries will beRreatly
embarrassed in tho propagation of their
faith In China We, therefore, ask the
Christian people OF America, Of our own
and all other churches that our voice may
reach, to exert themselves 10 reverse Ill
considered and unfriendly legislation.
