Odd Mention.

According to the report of the Maine
forestry commissioners, the lumber in
dustry is ON the wane in Maine. 1t is
claimed that study of the lumber
operations ON the Penobscot river sub
stimulates this statement.
At the annual meeting Of the Madi-
son county On. Y. Hop Growers asso-
citation the condition of the growing
crop was considered as far from encour-
aging. Indications are that not more
than half a crop will be harvested this
year
In trial at the New York station
there was practically no difference in
yield between cuttings and whole pota-
toes.
Several auction sales Of Connecticut
tobacco have been held, and this method
has been satisfactory to the Connecticut
Valley Tobacco Growers association,
as the growers believe that they can
realize more in this manner than if
sold by the old method
The most notable improvement in corn
growing is the use of shallow cultiva-
tors leaving the surface level instead Of
the old plan of running a pillow between
the rows and throwing dirt up to the
hills.

Time to Cut Grain.

All grain should be cut before becom-
ing dead ripe While the stalk is most
ly green, with only little turned vel
low, all the nourishment that the plant
will get from the root is then in the
stalk. It will be better used for filing
out the grain. This is especially true Of
the barley crop We have seen a differ
ence of two or three pounds weight per
bushel made between barley cut early
and that which waited until dead ripe,
1t is very difficult to make the six rowed
barley hold out to standard weight ex-
cept when cut while green. Late cut
barley is also much more likely to be
stained Even the dews will stain bar
ley when left standing until fully ripe,
while barley that was cut while green
took scarcely any stain If the rain fell
soon after cutting and before it had
dried. Tho only use for grain where it
is reckoned best to leave it until it is
fully ripe is for seed. Tibet is because
grain cut green is usually put into NOW
or stack before it is dry and heats too
much either there or IL the bin after
thrashing, and thus inicIes its vitality,
Winter grain that has to be sown in the
fall is better to be fully ripened before
it is cut, and even then it is hard to get
it thoroughly dried before sowing time

SPACES YAsTSESS.
Some Comparisons that Will StartIe
the Unthinking.

Sir Robert Ball who has an IN.
equaled faculty of throwing light
upon astronomical facts which are
ordinarily beyond the power of the
human mind to grasp, has endeavor-
ed in the last Of his lectures to sGg-
gest the ineonceivable distance OF
some Of the stars in the Heavens.
Taking electricity, which will travel
around the world seven times in one
second, or as it is generally calcula-
ted, 10000 miles a second, as the
unit of speed, he shows that it would
take eight minutes to send a mes
sage 10 the sun. To reach Alpha
Centauri, the nearest star, however,
would take no less than -four years.
Many of the still more remote stars
would be still unreaebed if an cleo
trical impulse had been dispatched
to them at the time Of the battle OF
Waterloo so years ago, aHd had been
continuously travelling in their diree-
tion at its normal gait of 10000
miles a second.
Again, there are over our heads
thousands of stars so distant that If
the news Of the discovery of Amer
lea by Columbus had been eirculat-
ed far and wide throughout the uni
verse by the iustrumeutality of the
telegraph, these thousands Of stars
are elevated into boundless space at
an altitude SO stupendous that the
announcement would not yet have
reached them. Many stars are known
to us only by the impression they
make on Photographic plate Many
Of these are so far from this earth
that if the tidings of the first Christ
mas at Bethlehem, 1894 years ago,
had been disseminated through the
universe by the electric current, all
the seconds which have elapsed in
the 1894 years of our present era
would not have saflieed for the
journey.

At the Rhode Island station expert
ments are being made in pots and in
the field to determine the value Of soda
as a substitute for potash; also It's value
in connection with pc5ash. In recent
bulletin it is reported that the indica-
tons from the experiments this year are
that soda was inferior to potash. bar to
what extent, if any, it is important as
plant nutrient i'll connection with pot
ash in addition to the soda already ex-
listing in our soil can only be ascertain
ed by repetition Of the experiment per-
haps Tor a number of years. Though the
direct object Of the experiment was not
to compare the action Of the chlorides
and carbonates of potassium and sodium,
it was evident that the latter produced
much greater yields with certain crops
than did the chlorides, and that this
was due to the action of tho carbonates
in reducing the acidity on sourness Of
the soil seems probable. A similar bene-
fetal action from the lime in connection
with certain plants, which is in accord
with previous experiments, is also evil
dent.

When to Sow Crimson Glover.

According to rules laid down by an
agricultural writer in The American
Cultivator, crimson clover ought to be
sown broadcast at the rate of IL to 10
pounds per acre in the north from July
10 to Oct. 10, i'll the northern tier Of
southern states until Oct. Is and in the
extreme south until the end of Novem-
Der. It grows during the fall and spring
months and can be seeded among grow
ing corn after the last working or on
clean stubble, in tomato fields, among
grapes, tobacco, etc, and will take root
without being raked in or covered with
soil If the ground is moist, it spreads
very rapidly. Probably the best way of
seeding is to prepare the ground as for
any other crop and lightly harrow in
and roll the soil.

'91.
Never in the history os Kansas has
tdat state had such bountiful crops as
this year The farmers cannot get
enough hands to harvest the great
crop, and the Santa Fe Railroad has
made special rates from Kansas City
and other Missouri River towns, to
induce harvest hands to go into the
state. The wheat crop of the state
will be from sixty to siXty-fve million
bushels, and the quality is high
The grass crop is made, and is very
large one; the early potatoes, rye,
barley and oats crops are made, and
are all large. The weather has been
propitious for corn, and it is the
cleanest, best looking corn to be found
in the country today. Cheap rates
will be made from Chicago, st.
Louis and all points on the Santa Fe
east of the Missouri River, to all Kan
sas points, on August 30 and Septem-
Der 81, and these excursions will give
a chance for eastern farmers to see
what the great Sunfower State can do.

Pleasure in California.

During the winter months the resi-
dents of the Eastern States make the
best of forbidding conditions and
amuse themselves in various ways by
a large expenditure Of energy. They
work hard, but they have sport. They
must be careful to avoid the numer-
GUS dangers with which very cold
weather surrounds them. All of their
efforts at amusement are a struggle
against forbidding and uncongenial
aspect of nature. They simply create
all the pleasure they get; nature, in
stead of helping them, presents a
constant protest against their pleas
ure. During these same months the
visitor in California simply has to sit
down and enjoy more pleasure than
his most active efforts could have Sc
cured in the Eastern States; and if he
wants to double the pleasure which
mere inactivity affords, he can do so
with the least possible eXertion. At
all times he has abundant sunshine in
California, for the rainy days are few
and short, and there is neither snow
nor ice to make him a prisoner. Flow
ers bloom increasingly in the garden,
and fresh fruits are always at hand.
Watermelons and Strawberries grace
his Christmas dinner.
All along the coast of California the
summers are cold enough to make
wooden clothing comfortable. In the
Eastern States the wretched inhabi-
tant wears the thinnest of clothing
and then suffers from the heat. The
Californian goes camping or strolling
through the woods with no fear of a
drenching, for the California summers
are rainless. The mountain scenery
is of infinite variety and unapproach-
able majesty and beauty. Large and
elegant hotels abound at all the sea-
side resorts. Splendid vineyards and
orchards exist everywhere, and the
most gorgeous wild flowers abound.
All the most beautiful resorts and
Wild retreats of California are reached
by the lines of the Southern Pacific
Company. Any of these agents of
