A Child'. List.

The secret of child government Is TO put

can look at affairs from his chlld's outlook
that moment reason, skill aud good elect
enter into his care for the child. 1t Is the
first impulse OF the average parent TO say
s'no'' to any request on general principles
when perhaps only once out OF ten times inc

The case with which children are made
happy is almost proverbial; the ease with
which they are made unhappy Is not so oiteh

Fish Gaano

Fish Guano
This is material the use of which
Ia largely increasing, says Fa.Alers
Gazette. 1t consists of dried and
powdered fish, or fish refuse. Some
times it is made from whole fish
sprats, herrings, menhadden, etc
which are boiled to remove the bulk of
the oil (which is valuable CONNER
cial product), the residue being then
dried for manure, Sometimes-and
very largely-it consists OF the residue
of offal from the cod fisheries, haddock
and herring curing operations, market
fish offal, ETC., similarly treated or
simply dried. The more the oil has
been extracted, the better the manure,
for the more rapid is its decomposition
Oil retards this, and is in itself useless
as a manure. In good fish guanos the
nitrogen varies from Z to 8 per cent
up to 10 or 1a per cent, and the phos-
pilates from about 6 to 16 per cent. AS
q rule, the higher the nitrogen the
lower the phosphates. Like Peruvian
guano, fish guano furnishes both
phosphates and nitrogen; but its nitro
gen is all in the form of undecomposed
animal matter, whereas in guauo it is
alread largely in the form OF actual
ammonia Peruvian guano, therefore,
acts much more rapidly than fish
guano; and while the former is gem
erallv best applied in the spring, fish
guano is generally best applied in the
autumn, SO that it may become well
rotten by the time it is wanted. 1t is
much valued in market gardening and
as a manure for hops

thinning Corn.


It has been urged by some that it IL
best to plant about three times ss
many kernels of corn per acre as Is
wished to have mature stalks, thinning
the corn when OF proper size-say from
sig to fourteen inches high-being
careful to remove tho weaker stalks.
In order to compare the results OF this
method with those of the method OF
planting only SO many kinds IS WILL
give the desired number of stalks per
acre without thinning, Mr.. Franklin
Stump, foreman of the Ohio Expert
nent Station farm, conducted the fol-
lowing experiment.: Four-ffths OF an
acre of land from which soil had been
removed some years since for making
brick, was divided into four equal
plots A strip of uniform width across
the plots, as laid out, hence involving
an equal amount of each plot, grew
melilotus, or sweet clover, the fouf
seasons of 1888 to 1891 inclusive.
The melilotus wns not cut,
but was allowed to go down each year
and reseed the land. A crop of wheat
was cut from the land in 1899. Aside
from any effect which the melilotus
may have had, the land was practical
ly uniform in quality and condition.
Two plots were planted at the rate OF
one grain per foot in the rows The
seed was excellent and almost abso-
lutely every grain grew. These plots
were not thinned. Two plots were
planted at the rate of three grains per
foot in the rows, and were thinned to
practically the same number of stalks

Tho removal or suppression Of the

Boston Globe. Tho fact is strange

ON the other hand, are often the cause
Of accidents The removal OF the
horns OF young animals was recon-
mended years ago by a distinguished

in spite of the fact that they had the
advantage of excellent grazing land.
American breeders have made expert
ments which amply confirm the state
mcnt made above. Those in favor OF
tho removal of horns do not
in the least intend to countenance
any act OF cruelty; the removal
would be effected in simple and easy
manner, by destroying the tissue or
root of the horn, as soon as there was
the slightest sign of hardening on the
forehead of the young animal. But
without entering into any discussion on
this head, simply note the fact that the
removal of the horns increases the
supply OF milk. Although strange at
Arst sight, it does not appear SO extra
ordinary upon consideration. 1t is
known by experience that the removal

The beet industry is ono Of the most
Important branches of agriculture and
manufacture in Russia, and beet sugar
not only supplies the whole wants OF
the Russian empire, but Is exported In
very considerable quantities to Aus
tris, Germany and other countries, says
Indian Agriculturist The United
States sul-general at St Peters
burg says that the cultivation Of beets
took its rise in Russia at the begin
ming of the present century simultan-
eously with its introduction into West
ern Europe. The government from
the first has taken an exceedingly ac-
tive interest in this industry, and 1t
has been strongly supported by the
several agricultural and economic so
cieties of the empire. To the first Or
ganizers of beet plantations and sugar
factories handsome prizes In money
and in government concessions were
awarded; in fact, this industry has
been in every way encouraged, sup
ported and patronized by the govern
nent, The varieties Of beets grown
in the empire have their origin very
generally in France and Germany; OF
these the French appear to contain the
greatest quantity Of saccharine mat
ter, while the German varieties will
produce the largest number OF BUSH
els per acre, the difference in the lat
ter respect being about s5 per cent
Great care is taken in preparing the
soil for beets- The field is twice
plowed, the first time from seven to
eight, and the second from ten to
twelve inches deep. If the beet crop
follows cereals the first plowing is
done Immediately after harvest, and
the second just before frost sets in.
The implements used in working beet
fields are generally of very good con-
struction, sometimes forcign-made,
and sometimes made in Russia after
foreign models. The fields are mostly
sown from the first to the last day in
April, according to local conditions OF
climate and soil. The seed is general
ly soaked in water, and then sown in
rows-about twenty to twenty five
pounds Of dry seed per acre. When
the beet sprouts shcw three or four
leaves the plantation is weeded, and

at the same time the soil is loosene
with the aid of a light hand machine,
called motyga, care being taken to
soften only the upper layer of the soil;
The superfiuous plants are afterward
weeded out, so that those remaining
are from ten to twelve inches apart
The wedding and loosening are re-
peated five or six times, until the beet
leaves cover the surface. The harvest
begins generally in the last days OF
August, and ends about the first OF
October. The crop is gathered with
he aid of hand spade or two
pronged fork specially adapted for the
purpose. When the beet is taken out
of the ground it is cleared OF earth and
topped; the small portion of the root
also is cut away, great care being
taken not to injure the root proper.
The beets are then carefully piled on
the field and covered.
