Farm Notes.

Don't plant corn or other seed
without testing their terminating
power.
The oat crop is an expensive crop
to grow. 1t takes good deal from
the soil.
If a man sends second-class cattle
10 market he need not expect first
class prices.
The principal object in pruning is
to let air and light freely into all
parts of the top.
The inferior cabbage should DO
given to the hens, They relish the
green food very much.
Slow growing trees or vines should
be set on richer soil, and fast grow
inc ones on the poorer ground.
Black raspberries will grow on any
soil suitable for corn or potatoes, as
they do not require an overrich soil.
Ounce trees are ornamental in
Hover and fruit. They are sure
bearers and the fruit is always mar
ketable.
With some crops like onions, it is
often best to use commercial fertili-
zers, in order to avoid the weed
seeds in stable manures.
A writer thinks that to make sheep
profitable, it is necessary to live in
the immediate vicinity OF the flock.
Near enough to smell them at least
twice day.
Good clover hay is splendid for,
age for any animal on the farm, from
the hog to the horse. 1t goes long
ways toward taking the place of en-
silage or roots. But it does mo-
quite fill the place.
A farmer said at an institute that
his yield of corn last year running
from 120 bushels per acre down tC
eighty, was exactly proportional tc
the time the manure had lain on the
surface before being turned under
and his experience with last year
crop was the same.

Sandy Soil and Fertilizers.

Sandy soil requires more fertiIlz-
ers than the clay soil for any given
crops, and if the manure is applied
and the land not used the
strength is apt to be carried away
into subsoiL There is consequently
a constant loss on sandy soils, and
we cannot store up fertility in such
earth far ahead. On clay soils all
manure and vegetable material will
be retained until used by crops. Fer
tility can be stored up for half a
dozen years in advance, and the
amount OF loss will be very small
The richer soil gets the better it can
be worked Tor crops, and more salts
factory in all ways will the results
be. While sandy soil may be of
great advantage for strawberry and
small fruit culture, the heavy clay
soil, well cultivated, underdrained
and MANFRED freely with clover, will,
in most cases Of farming, prove The
most satisfactory.-Col Rural

1t is said that Cinnamon, one and
all, regard the cockroach with super
stitious veneration. They hold that
it is sacred thing, an especial ia
vorite of the gods, and particularly of
the great Joss, and to kill one OF
them, even accidentally, is a great
misfortune, most carefully to be
avoided. In some instances the &C
cidental killing of one of these nasty
creatures has been known to prey
upon the mind OF the unfortunate
celestial as to drive him insane. It's
said that the Chinese quarters Of the
California towns are overrun with
these insects, and a Chinaman would
as soon think of killing himself as one
Of them.

White horses are to be barred from
military service in Germany. The
emperor has ordered that no more be
purchased for the army, and those
now in use are to be sold. He thinks
that in q war white horses would be
especially conspicuous because OF the
use of smokeless powder and would

CHICAGO, April 24.--Samuel A. Aller-

$50 from the Homsstake No. Mining
company. The claim which the COM
plainant puts forward was assigned TO
him by james J. Sullivan of Chicago,
who purchased it in 1873, paying S10,.
600 down and promising $50, 900 more.
The mine proved more of q bonanza
than was hoped by the prospectors and
Mr.. Sullivan's purchase was repudi-
ated. Much money was spent in liSiga-
tion. but suits availed nothing. Finally
Mr.. Sullivan, who was not financially
able to carry the case further In the
courts, assigned his claim to Mr. Aller-
ton. An accounting of the profits which
have accrued from a Ave thirty-second
interest in the mine since 1878 10 de-
manded. While the Homestake COM
pany does not deny that the legal own
ership of the share named is in Mr..
Allerton, the right to demand division
of the profits is not recognized. Offers
