CONTRACTS WITH HIRED MEN.

A contract with farm laborer is
not necessarily to be made in writing,
but il is wise to make it so, in case of
disputes that so often arise when the
man suddenly makes up his mind TO
leave just at haying or harvest time.
The safest way to make q contract to
meet his frequent contingency is to
scale the wages, giving the least the
first month and increasing each month
so that at tile end the largest amount
is paid. This may be arranged in this
way: If the sum is $50 month and
the time five months, the amounts may
be SIG, $1s, 500, S22 and S24. The
average is $40, and if the man leaves
before the end of the term he forfeits
the larger sums. In the contract
everything agreed upon must be writ
ten down it must be signed by both,
one copy for each, and witnessed, both
parties stating to the witness that they
agree to the terms of the contract
This will avoid many dissgreesble dis
putes and many changes that will
otherwise occur. If the man leaves
without due notice provided in the
contract, he should forfeit the whole
wages of the broken month, and the
payments should be made on the 10th
of the month following the work done.
This gives some security against sud-
den leaving by the man. New York
Times.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Give the colts a good start and there
will be little trouble about the finish.
Lead COW rather than drive her.
Gentleness should be the wstchword
to the dairy stable.
1t would seem to be only question
of time when the Clydesdale andShire
breeds would unite.
The best grades of butter have no
foreign market to sustain prices,
hence the slump this year.
The red raspberry is a good honey
plant, and larger and better berries
are the result of the visit of the bees.
1t is folly to raise a scrub, when
grade which will bring double price
can be as easily bred, and as cheaply
raised and fattened.
An animal that fattens easily is
usually healthy, strong and often of
an easy temperament, rarely frets,
takes life in a moderate way, and has
good appetite as well as good
digestion.
A breeder may occasionally fail to
receive better than butchers or ship
pers prices for recorded stock, but
such cases are the rare exception, and
IN nine out of ten cases the fault is
with the breeder and not the market.
A simple way to pick out queen

when the bees are packing in pollen.
If you come to one where the bees
bring in no pollen, that hive is queen

bring it in because they have nC

MARKING CLOTHES.

A number of people shirk the very
simple task of marking their clothes
legibly and permanently, aud this,
too, at q time when almost everybody's
things are sent to professional wash,
to be mixed up with heaps owned by
strangers. Yet writing ones name on
a collar or handkerchief is almost as
simple as scribbling it on paper. A
very little patience is required, and a
fire should be close at hand to fix the
ink indelibly. Printed tapes and
letters to be sewn on are well enough
in their way, but not much protection
against an article being stolen, rs they
can be picked off by anybody. A
name conspicuously linked on the
material is better safeguard.
With new brands of marking ink it
is necessary to pay some slight atteu-
tion to the directions issued with each
bottle, so as not to write with steel
pen when quill is demanded, nor to
use heat when none is required, nor to
mix liquids wrongly when two happen
to be given. If woman shrieks out
that two dozen fine new handkerchiefs
and a whole batch of tablo napkins
have dropped into holes where she
printed her name she has evidently
treated her chemicals by the opposite
plan to that advised. However sue
cessful you may be yourself, never
recommend your own favorite make
of marking ink to anybody, for fear
the process should be conducted the
wrong way and you receive the blame.
Even among our nearest and dearest
friends there are some who insist on
laundering over very simple work,
and it is best for them to learn wisdom
from their own exploits.-New York
Advertiser.

1IBERAI MANURING ron CORN.

If any one has gained the impress
sion from what has been heard from
lecturers at institutes the past win
ter that corn can be successfully
grown without a supply of plant food,
applied or already in the soil, he has
only got to try it to be convinced of
the error. Corn, in common with all
other plants, draws on a store of plant
food out of which to make up its
growth. If this supply is not within
reach it refuses to groT, the same as
any and all other plants. The idea,
then, tnat it does not exhaust the soil,
or draw upon manures that may be
applied is an error.
1t is true that through experiment
in these later years it has been learned
that in some way corn will make q
crop with less application of the one
material - nitrogen - than formerly
was supposed. In some way it sup
plies itself, and without the hand of
the farmer, with at least portion of
this one important ingredient that is
represented in the crop after grown
In many cases lands that have been
manured with barn manures for a long
series of years contain a surplus OF
this one ingredient, which the corn
may draw upon possibly for several
crops. And then again, there is eyi-
denco that goes to support the theory
that the corn plant has the power to
secure measure, at least, of it,
needed nitrogen from the air.
Whether it is the one or the other
that is really the source of supply, the
fact remains, all the same, that good
crops of corn are being grown with &
smaller application of nitrogen thar
was formerly deemed necessary.
But it is this one element only tina
can be spared or can be reduced il
quantity in the growing of this crop.
The phosphorus acid and the potasl
must be supplied in the full proper
ton called for. In msnuring witt
barn manuIes the application must b,
liberal enough - meet the wants o
the crop in these two elements or i
will be n failure. Ii heavy crops ar
wanted the manurinC must be liberal
Corn cannot make the crop withou
the full supply of plant food, n
farmer, then, need conclude he ca
grow corn successfully with scanty al
plications of manure. - Maine Farmei

Peruvian anil Mexican AgrIculture.

Peruvian AMI Mexican Agriculture
The nneieut Peruvians and Mexicans
must have had wonderful amount OF
patient Industry TO carry on agricul'
ture iu the way they did. The great
drawback they suffered from was the
same under which we labor, viz, tho
weather, only their complaint was the
want of rain. To provide ageiust this
at immense trouble they erected splen-
did aqueducts from the high lands FOR
tho purpose of irrigation, each MAJ.
being allowed certain amount OF,
water, which was to be used for irriga-
tion purposes only. In many places
where it was so rocky aud steep that
cultivation was impossible, the natives
built terraces, tho bottom terrace be-
ing, say, thirty feet broad, the higher
only about ten feet; these terraces, in
many cases, had TO be supplied with
earth before cultivation was possible.
Another point which was strongly
marked was the way in which they
treated the old and indrm, all their
ground having to be titled by the
others before they touched their own.
They valued the "guano" of that dis
trict every bit as much as We do. Tho
islands were strictly preserved, any
one killing the birds or disturbing
them in the breeding season being
punished by death. American Farmer

Every man that plants seeds, whether
for the farm, the vegetable or flower
garden, should select those that do the
best in the locality where they are to
be planted. Different soils require
different varieties, and every farmer
or gardener should select, after trial,
the kinds that succeed best on his land.
One of the best guides in this direc-
ton is to note the success of the vari-
ties used on similar soils by neighbors ;
Che State experiment station can also
usually give good advice. American

coNrRAcrEp Hoors IN MULES AND HORSES

CONTRACTED HOOPS IN MULES AND HORSES.
Contraction of the hoof in horses
and mules can scarcely be called a
disease, but merely the result of some
injury to the parts, for it may occur
from alternate soaking and drying the
feet. from bad shoeing, and removing
the frog, which supports the walls of
the hoof An animal that is severely
foundered, followed by severe inaam.
nation in the legs and feet, is almost
certain to have contracted hoofs, unless
given prompt attention in reducing the
fever in the feet. Contraction, of
course, implies wasting away of the
internal structure of the feet Re-
move the shoes and then keep the
mule standing in q puddle of wet clay
for twelve hours day, or wrap the
front feet in rags and keep these con-
stantly wet until the inflammation
subsidies, then apply hoof ointment to
keep the horn soft. 1t may take two
or three weeks of soaking in water
half a day at a time to reduce the in
6ammation, but if kept up it can
scarcely fail to remove the fever.
Have the edges of the hoof smoothed
off level and even, and then when the
animal is in condition to do light work
have your blacksmith put on bar
shoe to protect the heel and prevent
cracking. For hoof ointment use
equal parts of sweet oil, pine tar and
mutton tallow, and in warm weather
add little beeswax to make it harder.
For the stiff cords of the leg rub them
two or three times a day with the
hand and apply almost any good
liniment or simple spirits of camphor
Never attempt to work an animal
while there is anything the matter
with the feet. New York Sun.
