In every newly-settled country,
when the forests are cleared off and
the land has been cultivated few
years, the soil where the worm rail
fences stood is always found richer
than that where blowing and cropping
has been going on. Some farmers,
therefore, conclude that this increase
of fertility where tho fence stood is an
invariable rule. But it is not. After
clover and occasional manuring comes
into the rotation the cultivated part of
the field is often the richest. We
know farmers who have taken up
old fences with the idea that under
them they will find land that can be
cultivated for few years without the
necessity of constant manuring. But
they usully find if they have been
growers of clover that the long culti-
waited parts of the field are the richest.
The soil under the fence has not been
expanded and contracted by alternate
freezing and thawing, and it takes one
or two years of cultivation to show
what capacity it has for producing
large crops. III Boston Cultivator.

Making Close Observers.

A novel method of cultivating the
faculty of observation in children has
been introduced by teacher in an up
town kindergarten. She tells her
pupils that she is about to have call
from some one who will remain only
three minutes, that no one must di.
rectly stare at him, but that the pupil
who gives the best description of him
after his departure, will receive
prize. The other day her father, q
Grand Army veteran in uniform, per-
formed the part of caller, and some Of
the personal descriptions after he had
bowed himself out denoted unusually
quick and accurate attention to detail.
One boy had counted all his buttons,
and gave the number correctly;
another noticed an almost invisible
scar on his face, and various others
gave details of the color and shape of
the beard, hair, and uniform. The
one who received the prize was little
grl, who declared he had can ex.
preston on his face. - Portland

A vINELESS SWEET POTATO.

In the cultivation of the sweet po-
tato, point is to keep the trailing
branches from roofing in the ground
If these creeping branches get roots,
it is SO much taken from the main
crop-all the roots are comparatively
small and valueless for commercial
purposes. For this reason the culti-
vator of the sweet potato has to be
continually moving among the vines
lifting them from the ground by varl-
GUS methods in ordor to prevent these
branches from sending out other roots.
1t is now given out that in Florida u
variety has been raised which takes on
the bushy form without any tendency
to run or sprawl over the ground. If
this be so, it ought to be one OF the
greatest advances made for many
years. AS general rule. varieties of
the bushy class are not as productive
as those which take on regular climb
ing character. The bushy varieties
are not nearly as productive as the
taller growing kinds, but the sweet po-
tato may be an exception, as the crop
is under ground. Meehans' Monthly.

WORKER BEES.

They constitute the mass of the col
onv, and upon them devolve all the
labors of the hive. They gather the
honey and the pollen, the food for the
young. They nurse and feed the
Young brood and defend their house
against the invasion of enemies. The
care which the workers bestow upon
their nurselings is wonderful, and
these manifest the most tender attach
ment for them. The slightest move
ment of their nurses toward the young
brood is sufficient to attract the latter
to their food, which they devour vora-
ciously, and which is unsparingly ad-
ministered. After the cells have been
sealed up the workers seem to cease
from anything like attention, although
if the brood comb is meddled with
their utmost ire is kindled. Bees
reared in the spring and early summer
are shorter lived than those reared
later in the season. Each worker is
armed with formidable sting and
when disturbed does not hesitate to
use it. The extremity being barbed
the bee can rarely withdraw it and in
losing its sting it losec its life and so
dies in defending its home and sacred
treasures.

cent writer prescribed scalded Indian
meal made into mush, which was
cooked an hour or two and then fed
hot with horseradish. It was recon-
mended to cook food of all kinds and
feed hot. This might be well as a
stimulnnt, but cornmeal must be COM
bined with animal food to produce
eggs. A supply of powdered shells or
bone should be provided, not only to
aid digestion, but furnish egg shell
material. A correspondent OF the
Plymouth Chronicle mixed hogs lard

Use pure-bred cocks to breed up the
fowls.
Hens are safer to set than early
pullets.
All birds of the Cochin breed feather
very slowly.
A clean eggs sells much quicker than
soiled one.
Hen manure is valuable, and should
be carefully saved.
Buyers are apt to judge of the age
of an egg by its appearance.
Birds with small combs and plenty
of feathers endure cold best.
A home made incubator is apt to
prove an expensive economy.
The Leghorns are the most prolific,
but they lay the smallest eggs.

Compelling fowls to roost in a

Forty years ago there were practi-

Breed for energy and intelligence

Do not keep horses in q field sepa.

The quantity of horses has never

By breeding the mares in the fall,
they can be made to perform the farm

To keep the horse in perfect condi'

quantity of feed is essential.
1t does not pay to sell q horse in
poor condition, nor does it pay to

Liberal feeding, good shelter and
occasional handling will mature the

Don't blanket your mares in the

Tint COal Question.

AT a recent meeting of the Mime
apolis chamber of commerce, E. G.
Jaffray of the committee on transpor.
.tation and railroads, reported that
the Northern Pacific had promised to
make rates from Dickinson to the
twin cities satisfactory, if it was
proved that the Ignite there was &C.
ceptable as fuel. For the purpose
of making a test, two carloads are
soon to be brought to Minneapolis,
where they will be used as fuel, and
compared with the soft coal now re-
ceived there from the south. 1t was
also stated that the officials of the
railroad were of the opinion that if
the coal was all claimed for it, it
could be delivered there cheaper com.
paratively, than any other on the
market, lowering the cost of fuel to
Minneapolis.
