FERTILITY FROM THE WOODS.

The annual falling of forest leaves and
the rotting of branches, old logs and
stumps in time make up quite large
deposit of decayed vegetation which is
apparently of but little use on the un-
cultivated land where it occurs, writes
an Ohio farmer. Feeling that it was a
waste of fertility, or at least failure to
secure the benefit that ought to be OBJ
tanned from it, for two seasons gathered
several wagon loads of the rotted stuff
from the woods, hunting out spots where
the leaves had lodged and rotted in
larger masses than usual, and where Il
place could be found and conveniently
reached that contained the remains of
large fallen trees that had entirely de-
composed. This stuff l spread as manure
one fall on the field to be planted with
corn next spring, and, so far as could
discover, with but little beneficial effect
on the crop. The next fall applied
about the same amount on another field
that was sown to wheat. In this case I
had good crop, for which still believe
some credit may be given to the fertil-
izer from the woods, but the results
were not sufficiently profitable to lead
me to repeat the experiment of robbing
one piece of land to fcrtilize another. -

SHEEP TEARING THEIR WOOL.

When sheep bite themselves and tear
out their wool it is an indication that the
skin is diseased and itches intolerably.
The trouble may be due to several causes,
as the effects of the dry food, which has
costive tendency, and this induces in
fammation in the blood, or the sheep
may be annoyed by vermin, either lice or
ticks. or they may be suffering from scab,
which is one of the most troublesome
disease of sheep, AMI caused by very
small mite that burrows in the skin, and
in time will destroy the whole flock, as
it is exceedingly contagious. The sheep
should be carefully examined, and the
cause of the trouble found. If the skin
is red in places, the dry feeling is TO be
blamed for it, and it should be changed,
bran mash being gwen, with teaspoon
full of epson salts in each feed. A little
sulphur may be added with benefit, but
the greatest relief will be afforded by
feeding some turnips or beets which have
the best effect in such case. II there
are vermin of any kind, these should be
got rid of by pouring decoction OF to-
bacco along the bacS and working it
through the wool all over the sheep.
This will cure the scab if the crusts are
broken and the fluid we'll worked into
the skin.-New York Times.

British Consul, Mr.. Portal, of Z,nzibar,
Africa, cotton seed is also capable of
yielding sugar. A process has been dis
covered for extracting sugar from cotton
seed meal, and, though the details of
this process have not been disclosed, it
is said that the product obtained is of
very superior grade, being Fl teen times
sweeter than cane su sar and twenty times
more so than sugar made from beet.
This indicates that sweetness is not due

HORSE RAp1sH For MARKET.

There is good market for horse
radish in many villages and smaller
cities which are now supplied only by
the grated preparations grown aud sold
by large market gardeners in New York,
Boston and Philadelphia. Horse radisl
is easily grown on almost any land. but
it is preferable if grown on land that is
mmcky. but not filled with stagnant
water. The land should be rich as this
makes a large root. 1t is planted by
putting crowbar holes down ten to
twelve inches deep on plowed land, if
the good soil reaches down that depth.
II it does not, make the holes shallo Ner
Place cuttings, small end down and
three or four inches long, in these holes
and fill to the surface with ricn earth.
The plant will grow straight, smooth
root to the surface, while at the bottom
will be lot of sprangling roots that can
be used to set the ground with another
gear. From small garden filled with
horse rddish roots half ton of roots
may be sold in single season. 1t
brings, in most small markets, four to
five cents per pound, and the demand is
usually greater than the supply. 1t is,
however, crop with which the market
is easily glutted, for little horse radish
is strong enough to go great way. If
it once gets full possession of the ground
it is hard to clear the land of it.-Bos-
ton Cultivator.

When six years ago JOAQUIN Miller
went to California and bought . tract of
land mile east of Oakland people
laughed, writes E. W. Box. And for
Z number of years the poet himself al
most believed that the people were right.
Miller bought at that time what was
probably one of the most unpromising
pieces of property in California. The
tract consisted of 100 acres, and nearly
all of it lay on steep anu ssony noun
tain side. The eccentric poet went at
the cultivation of his new possession with
will. And he did mostly all of his
work alone. Soon the property began
to show the hand of progress. But it
req quired work of the hardest kind. And
durin all this time the land was fast
provi ng, even the poet almost believed,
the worst type of an elephant" Now,
however, the land is almost park of the
most pictrrcsque order. On 1t the poet
has planted $4,000 fruit trees, hundreds
of olive trees, and miles of rare roses.
Springs were introduced; trout brooks
were stocked; walks and drives were
made. Water is plentiful on the place,
and that counts for everything on Cali
fornian place. The poet is now, am
told, beginning to see the rewards for
his labors. He ships his roses to Den
yer in the winter, and four weeks ago
one of his first shipments came to the
New York market. The roses are of I he
finest specimens, command good prices,
and from this branch of his possessions
alone 1t is not unlikely that Joaquin
Miller may soon acquire neat little in
come. His place is in the direct grow
ing line of Oakland, and the city Is
gradually approaching the poets habita-
tion. He does but little work with the
pen, but devotes nearly all his time to
the further cultivation of his place and
the development of the industries posi-
bic from its products. York Re.

DEPLETION OF PASTURES.

An observant dairyman noticing the
depletion of his pastures began series
Of observations. He discovered SINH
lar condition of affairs existed on his
neighbor's pastures. He reasoned that
where dairying has been conducted for
number of years pastures run down,
because the plant life taken by the cows
is not returned in proportionate de-
gree. That instead of the growth OF the
tame grasses being continued, their
place is usurped by wild grasses or
weeds that are destitute of nutriment.
To overcome this state of affairs was the
problem he set himself to solve. Every
thing that suggested itself to his mind
carried with it large expense, if not an
entire change of pursuit as re.ates to the
farm. Finally he adopted scheme of
his own, and after three years trial an-
nounced the result of his experience with
it. The experiment consists in feeding
ration of skim milk aud cotton seed
meal while at pasture. This, it is
claimed, had beneficial effect on the
quality and quantity of butter produced.
1t is likewise claimed thae the fields
were greatly benefited by the manure of
the cows fed on this ration. Indeed, it
is asserted that the fertility of the pas
lures is carried to higher state than
can be otherwise attained. The hog is
banished from this mans dairy, because
the milk fed him to make pound of
pork when fed to COWS will make a
pound of butter, worth three or four
times as much. Instead of reducing the
number of cows, which is one way of
meeting the worn out pasture problem,
this dairyman increased his herd twenty
live per cent. He sums up his method
by advising that d pail of fresh skim milk
be given with the ration fed each COW
every time the herd is milked. AS a
consequence it will be carried back to
the fields, and share of it as manure be
distributed in a satisfactory manner with
great compensating results. These are
found in the fertility of the soil, which
enables the speedy growth of tame and
nutritious grasses aud the disappearance
of weeds, false and wild grasses. The
benefits that the cows receive in in
creased nutrition on the improved pas
lures, manifest themselves in the most
pronounced manner, aud the dairyman
can rest confident that he Is in possession
of knowledge that makes barrenness of
pasture the least perplexing of his cares.

these, to say the least, are not the

material as glue and paste gives off de-
leterious gases in such small quantities
that we do not discover them, though
those who study it can smell it in most
rooms papered, and especially where a
number of layers of paper have been
pasted upon each other.
Sanitarians claim that these conditions
have mole to do with our ill health than
we are aware of; that such a state of
things in the room in which VIC live af-
fects us more Tor better or worse than

be cheaper, at least, to try II change of

LAWNS AND LAWN GRASSES.

Nothing is more desirable about
place or moro beautiful than we'll kept
lawn, and it is not difficult to make or
keep in order. The land should be
carefully graded, If the lawn be of any
extent, or even if it be but city lot.
The preparation should be thorough aud
deep so as to give the seeds good
chance and early start and the plant a
fertile soil in which to grow. 1t takes
plenty OF seed, more than one would
think, because the seeds are so light.
The seed should be sown in early sprin ?,
in March if possible. When sown on
what is called sugar snow one can no.
tice the even distribution of the seeds.
They will sink down as the snow melts
and will need no raking in. If fine
compost manure can be had, spread it
over evenly and do not trouble to take
off any of it, unless it be very coarse. If
on city plat, with the streets running
east and west, and on the north side of
the street, it will prove rather difficult
TO get a good stand, because of the hot
