recent addition TO the picking mechanism
OF looms consists OF q metallic buffer. with
check-action attachment placed on one end Of
rod. the other end being fastened TO the picker.
On the head OF this buffer Is a cranked arm.
which slides on a rod in frame with a spiral
spring. the frame being fixed TO the loom in any
suitable positions; a leather washer Is placed on
the rod below the cTanked arm. The spindle on
which the picker slides Is fixed 20 the spinhlS
stud and attached to the shuttle box by bolt and
nut, and loose collars are placed on the rod
where the spiral spring operates with set screws,
In order 10 properly regulate the tension OF the
spring or to stop the rebound OF the buffer. The
advantage ed by such an arrangement is
that OF dispensing with the leather buffer and
strap commonly employed.

Of place
Ramie. TO DE successfully grown. ought
TO be planted in rows two feet and a half
apart, and tine plants about one foot apart
in the row. thereby requiring some 1880
plants 10 the acre. The object is TO get a
thick stand as soon as possible. If the
plants are farther apart. they branch out
too much in making side shoots and such
stems do not produce valuable. long hbers.
Ramie plants require damp soil, which
may be by natural or artificial means. so

feet in hight I'm six weeks. BY such a
quick growth the stems grow of almost an
even size. and in decorticating by good
machine the fiber comes off in nice. even
ribbons. OF course, ramie will grow al
most anywhere. but 10 obtain the best re-
suits good, strong. damp land is required.
Ramie culturists differ regarding decorti-
eating. Some favor doing the work when
the stems are in a green condition, and
others dry. A noted writer on the subject
states that when they work the stems

Discussions in regard to this subject
seem to have almost ceased in the columns
Of agricultural journals in the last few
years remarks a contemporary. The ques-
ton is not yet settled in the minds Of the
farmers, but it seems that those opposed
to fall breaking of land have had the better
of the argument; at least observation
would lead one TO that conclusion. as the
practice does not appear to be nearly so
common as in former years. The fact
however, that some farmers practice il
while others do not is evidence that there
is Vet some diversity q opinion in REGARD
TO the advisability Of that method of farm
ing
On this subject we wish to suggest lust
one thought to the careful consideration Of
those who are thinking Of breaking this
fall and carly winter, that is. that the
character of the soil and the lay OF the
land should largely determine whether NJ
be broken i'm the fall or the next spring
one of the chief advantages in plowing
land i'm the fall, is that it can usually be-
worked earlier in the spring than ground
that is covered with a mulch of the veee-
table growth of the previous season. In
seasons like the last two in which the
drouth set in early it is an item of no
small importance TO have the crop planted
just as early as the ground gets warm
enough to start 1t to growing, so that it
may have the longest possible growth be
fore the drOuth strikes il. SO we believe
that land that Is fiat. or not well drained.
either naturally or artiicially, and is nat
urally cold and clammy soil would be
benefited by being broken in the fall, and
left quite rough and uneven. so that the
sun and atmosphere could spend their fun
force in drying, tightening and disintegrat-
ing It's particles.
On the other hand. land that rolls well
and sheds the water ready that falls on
IT needs protection of some kind during
the winter and early spring to hold that
water till it may have time to seep into
the earth, and prevent it running off at
once and taking quantities of the soil with

ed land i5 usually lighter and more pCrus
and does not need the action of sun and
wind so much as it needs the valuable ele-
ments carried into il by the rain, and re-
tanned by the mulch. We think it Well.
therefore, to consider well the character of
the soil and its facilities for drainage be
fore breaking land in the fail.

ManurinR for Spring Crops.

The Importance of manure for the spring
crop is such as to make il one for consid-
Grafton by every farmer at this season
of the year says the American Culttvator
Root and grass crops especially need a
good quality of manure in the spring TO
give them the necessary start in their
growth. Both root crops demand good
rich soil. for they are big feeders and
can only produce large crops when the
vegetable food is ready for immediate
use. The most successful market garden
ers are those who feed these crops liber-
ally, almost etravagantly. Inferior roots
are almost dead loss to the grower hut
fine, large, succulent ones are ALWAYS a
source of good profit
such garden crops require heavy ma
nuring, but besides the applfcatfon of
quantities of barnyard manure there is
an exhaustion of the soil in another way
which must be supplied Nearly every
soil IN its virgin state contains plenty Of
nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid. but
the soils that have been long under cul-
uVatlon very rarely contain these eIe-
ments i'm sufficient quantities Plants re-
quire those three mineral elements inst
as much as anything else, and. in fact
they are the basis OF all manures Rut
they are usually supplied in such small
quantities in the ordinary manures thar
plants will suffer from the lack of them
even when literally supplied with barn
yard and other manures, 1T becomes quite
essential, then, upon nearly all soil that
IS highly cultivated to add these forms

Potash can be supplied in the two com
mon forms of kainit and muriate of potash

supplied in the cheapest form by applying
these ingredients directly to the soil. and
not in any mixed form. Nitrogen is ex-
tracted from the soil and air by the plants
but it is also supplied directly to them in
the form of nitrate of soda and sulphate
of ammonia. Nitrogen can also be ex-
tracted from blood, wool, dried flesh
horns, skin and other articles. but it is
obtained from these sources only in very
costly way. Farmers must obtain it in
the cheapest way possible, and that is
either in the form of nitrate Of soda or
ammonia. Natural phosphates also sup
ply phosphoric acid much cheaper than in
super-phosphates or precipltated phos-
phate
Besides root crops, our other garen vege-
tables, cereals, and, in fact, every article
grown upon the farm require these ele-
ments if the soil is deficient in them In
the spring of the year their application
enables the plants to utilize the barnyard
manures more quickly and successfully
Soils that are lacking in them may pro
duce plants that are rank and tall, and
the greatest amount of ordinary manure
will not improve them much. If an appi-
cation Of potash, or the other two ele-
ments mentioned is made the plants will
often spring up much faster ard extract
more nourishment from the soil and from
the barnyard manure Incorporated in it.

Flax Culture in Europe.

Our principal supplyof the raw material.
says Chambers Journal, is imported from
Russia. where the plant has long been,
and stin is, cultivated more extensively
than in any other country in the world:
but there the culture of the crop and prep
aration of the fiber receive less care and
attention than i'm any other reproducing
country. This neglect may be accounted
for by the immense tracts under crop and
also ly much thinner sowing than is prac-
uced in other countries i'm order TO give
the plant greater strength and more num-
erous branches. to prevent il being laid

many Austria and France will follow Rus
STA as iaX-producing countries, and in
each of these an average area of over
HpoD acres is kept under this crop. In
Holland flax is grown principally for the
seed, and the planting and growth Of the
crop, as well as the time for pulling. is
regulated for this purpose. BY properly
maturing the seed the quality of the fiber
lis injured and renders the subsequent
process more difficult; but the Dutch farm
erS are amply remunerated by the high
price obtained for the seed, which has for
agricultural purposes "A worldwide fame.

Riga seed is also used and preferred by
some growers as being more hardy. 1t is
