WrrH commentators Of Secretary Car

ing bonds; with concentrations to
Admiral Bsnham for his conduct in rails
ing the blockade at Rio; with commenda-
tions for Chairman Wilson for the
passage Of the Tariff Reform bill with
concentrations for President Cleveland
for having prevented the annexation of
Hawaii: with general congratulations for
the recovery Of business from the effects
Of the financial depression, there seems
little for the croaker and pessimist to
End fault with. Their business seems
likely TO subside. They cannot find fault
with these results; they object queru
lously to the manner in which
the results were obtained. The gen.
eral situation OF the country Is
encouraging Business is reviving
There is no reason why any mill or
factory should not proceed Immediately
to obtain orders and manufacture the
articles Of common necessity. In short,
the situation is cheerful, hopeful, buoy
ant. The croaker will have to crosk
because there is nothing to crack about.
He is in the situation Of the man who,
finding nothing else to complain Of,
complains that he is not lead He might

The farmers Bad Enemy.

time it is planted until it begins to Joint.
1t then spins a cocoon and enters the
pupa coming out nearly month later as
greenish yellow beetle. having twelve
black dots on the hard wing cases, and is
about one-fourth of an inch long A
writer in the American Agriculturist
tells how 10 trap these beetles. He
says:
~ have made an accidental discovery
of trap for the beetle which is easily
applied and promises 10 be OF value. Get
a supply of old gourds or squashes ;,cut an
inch hole in each; and after removing
half of the old pulp, set them about in in
Tested places. The beetles resort in great
numbers TO the old gourds or squashes.

capable of destroying several hundred

near the roots Of the plants, the trapping
in gourds is worthy of trial as soon as
corn planting begins, or even earlier.

The Forehanded Farmer.

The forehanded farmer always has
something to sell, says the Rural World
His crops are varied. He hesitates to
put too many eggs into one basket, or
give too much attention to one particular
crop. He needs 10 produce plenty of live
stock, and TO have 1t ready for sale at
pretty much any time, but particularly
at the time when his taxes or other we'll
defined and MISUNDERSTOOD payments
come due. His hogs form a staple crop
but he can, without much difficulty, raise
as well few colts and calves every year
a bunch of lambs or of wethers. an acre
or two OF potatoes, and crop of turnips
TO follow the early ones. He has a good
flock of fowls, and probably one of
turkeys. or ducks. or of geese, either Of

handed, he keeps few good mich cows.

good sire. are always in demand, because
good mixers, and the steers may be either
killed in the winter Tor home use or sold
for beef. Then his folks are apt at but
ter making, and good butter is always in
demand at paying prices, and his skim
and buttermilk make an admirable food
Tor colts and calves poultry and pigs, and
the more he has of it the better. His aim
must be TO get into stock as much as pos
sible; 10 consume all his farm products;
for the forehanded farmer cannot afford
70 haul hay or corn or wheat to town
His stock must carry it, then, in a manu-
featured form, and, therefore, at a mini
mum expense. The days of all grain, to-
bacco, cotton, hemp, etc. are passed.
Small farms, diversified farming, rota-
tion Of crops, and everything done well,
is now the order Of the day. II is that or
nothing.
But here is a caution. The season is at
hand in which the farmer will put in
twelve or fifteen hours day at work,
and see that every hand on the farm does
the same He will hardly stop during
that time long enough to eat his food
properly, and take no time 10 either read

work hours longer than the men outside
VIII that pay! Some of these are mothers
and have duties and responsibilities as
such, which, if found in any kind of stock,
would Justify relief from work. Surely
the farmer will not overwork his wife
more than he would his stock, or himself
to a point where thinking is out of the
question and planning impossible The
average farmer however, will aim at
nothing short of getting the work done,
no matter how or what the conseq uenc es,
so long as it is done. 1t is a foolhardV
policy. 1t will not pay, either in money
or health. Let us take time to think, to
read to plan, and TO live. There are du-
ties in these regards that we owe to our
selves, our wives, our progeny and our
successors that are not met with in brute

spurry-Is 1t Adapted to tho South P

Please tell me what kind OF plant
spurry is, and would it grow on our pine
lands? What season is best suited to it?
H. NJ. c.
Spurry (spergula arvensis) is now
plant to this country, but plant long
known and made use of in Holland and
Germany. 1t is. regarded as a weed in
Scotland, being common to sandy soils.
We 90 not know of any successful ex-
perlence with spurry in the south, and
we doubt very much if it would prove of
any great value to us. We have already
score of plants more desirable Still it
may be found to be of some value on poor
soil when it comes to a trial It is an
annual and grows to a hight of from
twelve to twenty inches, according to the
richness of of the soil. When sown in
the spring after the ground has become
warm it natures a crop in eight to ten
weeks. Two and sometime three crops
can be grown in one season on the same
land.
We hope to have some seeds for distri-
button the coming spring, so that the
plant may be tested in practical way by
those who are interested in forage crops
and soil improvements.

WOOD AsHEs-BY N. J. SHEPHERD
Where wood is used for fuel,a consider
able quantity of valuable fertilizer can be
readily secured in the form Of wood ashes.
These are valuable TO use as a top dress
ing in The garden, can be applied with
benefit in the growing Of nearly or quite
all kinds of fruits, and will nearly always
give good results in growing potatoes.
They contain potash and phosphoric acid
two essential elements of plant growth,
in sufficient quantities to make them a
valuable fertilizer, much two valuable
to be allowed TO go to waste, as is often
done.
With the garden crops especially in
nearly all cases it will pay to use as a top

both in the garden and around fruit trees
is TO stir or work the surface of the soil
into a good filth. and then apply the
ashes evenly over the surface and rake in
thoroughly. In nearly-all cases applying
in the hill with potatoes when the plant

COW affected with the following symp-
toms:
Cough mot severe) and running at
nose a thick, yellow phlegm. For a time
it was attendant with failing milk and
flesh, but she somewhat recuperated as
to milk and flesh, and still The slight
cough continued and in the morning her
nose discharged phlegm as above stated.
Recently | observed spaJtered blood
against the barnyard fence and the wall
of barn as if in coughing she had coughed
up blood, There was no sign on her nose
and mouth, and there being no other ami
nal in the lot, naturally l thought it
from her cough. What is treatment2
There is no veterinary surgeon here.
Kindly answer. CONSTANT READER.
Your COW is suffering from some blood
disease that exhibits itself in several disor-
ders, exactly which one could not be de-
termined without a more detailed dag
nosis. 1t may be catarrh or incipient
tuberculosis, or it may be diphtheretic in
its character. 1t will be safe to treat it
as bad case of influenza.
We presume you do not use the milk 1t
would not be well to do So
She should be isolated, and at night
Kept IN clean, dry place, which should
be dlslnfected by burning sulphur in at
least once day, subjecting theanimal to
the fumes of the sulphur, taking care not
to let her breathe the fumes more than a
few minutes at any one time. Her bowels
should be kept in good condition.
As an Alternative prepare the following
mixture aid give wine-glass full twice
day: Liquor arsenicalis, 4 ounces; ace
tate of potash, 8 drachms; water, l
quart. Also give teaspoonful of sulphur
once day. Write again.

plication of insecticides to the tomatoes
for the destruction of the boil worm will
pay.
THE QUALITY OF EARLY PASTURE.
There is no doubt that available nitro
gen and mineral manures affect the
quality of pasture. IL is because until
warm weather comes the grass in spring
is poor and watery and innutritious, for
its roots get little nitrogen or mineral
plant food until the soil has been warmed.
Grasses that have their roots near the
surface find this nutriment first We be-
lieve that liberal top dressings Of nitrate
of soda and a good super phosphate will
make the tender grass grown in April and
early May as nutritious as IL usually is in
June. In our boyhood an old, newly
cleared stump lot was always used for
the first pasture of cows in spring. They
would eat the grasses close TO the ground
beside some half burned stump before
they would touch the larger growth in
long cultivated fields. IL was not alto
gether the potash that the cows were
after either. Where the ashes had fallen
they had put the vegetable matter into
just the condition to make it available as
plant food, and the warm sunshine against
the bank around the stump did the rest.
A dressing of nitrate and phosphate early
in the season will make stock Craze IL
clo.ely all summer.
