Feeding the Earth.

It is said by competent authority
that the annual increase in value OF
the forests of the United States would
pay the public debt. This at first
seems ar almost absurd statement,
but when one takes into consideration
the fruit and nut-bearing forests, tho
gain in the size of trees and the accu,
mutation of woody matter, to say
nothing Of the immense value OF
leaves and decaying wood in fertiliz-
ing the earth, it is easy to see that
this is by no means On improbable as
sertion. The value of fallen leaves
and decaying wood is not and never
has been properly appreciated as fer
tilizing elements. 1t is no unusual
thing for intelligent persons in pros
porous communities to gather together
all the sticks, fragments of limbs,
weeds and plant stalks and useless
shrubs, pile them up to dry and make
bonfire of them.
That this is waste of the good
gifts of nature, these people will some
day learn. Every garden should have
corner devoted to the preparation
of fertilizers, and into this should go
every particle of vegetable and animal
matter that comes within reach in the
course of household affairs. Leaves
from the forest are worth collecting
for this purpose, and all fragments OF
decayed wood have their uses for
plant food. The enormous waste of
fertilizers through the sewage pipes
of great cities should in some way be
stopped for moro reasons than one.
This waste not only takes from the
ground that which rightly belongs to
it, but it contaminates and soils the
waters of tho globe, rendering them
.unwholesome, and in many instances
producers of disease. ulned into
large tanks, passed through purifying
processes and thrown out upon the adj
jacent fields, this matter would make
desert places bud and blossom like
the rose.
All plants have their special prefer
ences in the way of food, and what IS
not utilized by one is eagerly absorbed
by another. There are European Ma
tons that might give us many lesson
in this sort of economy which 1T
would be worth our while to consider.
"Willful waste makes woeful want, "
says the proverb, and there are al
ready in New England wide areas
where the soil is practically exhaust
ed. If farmers took better care of the
plant food that they now allow to go
to destruction the abandoned farm
and the unthrifty husbandman would
be few and far between. New York

Work Their Way.

Some Of the forty or fifty State agri-
cultural colleges mako special provis-
ion for students wishing to work their
way through college. Such students
work daily on the experimental col
lece farm and receive current wages.
There are many free scholarships In
these colleges, and board and lodging
are cheap, so that working student
finds that his labor goes far toward
paving his way. Tutoring pays better,
however, and very clever men some,
times earn from $1,000 to $1,000 per
wear in helping through their duller
fellows. Such opportunities, however,
are found only in the great colleges,
and are few At one Of these institu-
tons one successful young lawyer. of
New York City, is said to have earned
$4,000 in q single year tutoring while
yet an undergraduate.

FLAX CULTURE.

The fact that foreign fax spinners
are looking to the United States as a
future source of supply emphasizes
the importance of growing flax for
fibre in this country, where in SO
many sections the conditions are advan-
tageous. 1t has been hitherto grown
here for the seed, which is of much
value for the oil it supplies and the
food it furnishes to farm stock, es-
specially cattle.
Flax itself is easily grown. It's sue
cessful culture requires a good soil,
well titled. A good wheat soil is gen.
orally considered good one for flax.
1t is rather an exhausting crop, and
should not be grown on the same land
oftener than once in five or six years.
To secure fine fibre, thick sowing is
preferred, between two and one-half
to three bushels of seed. Flax fears
weeds, and if weeded early and care
fully the crop will not require that
operation more than twice. About
three months after sowing the flax will
be ready for pulling; this stage will
be recognized by the leaves assuming
yellow tinge.
Flaxseed is sown broadcast. 1t was
formerly the custom to do this by
hand, but the seed is go slippery that
very uneven sowing resulted, and it
is best done by machine. A broadcast
seed sewer is the best for the purpose.
Tho soil should be warm before the
seed is sown and should not be wet.
If properly rolled and narrowed the
seed should be covered to the depth
of an inch.
The yield per acre depends largely
upon the season at the terminating
period. The time of harvesting is 1
very important consideration. If har
vested too soon the quality of the
fibre will be very fine, but there will
be great waste, while if gathered toe
late the fibre will be very plentiful,
but of coarse quality. If grown fol
seed flax should not be harvested I'M
til the seeds are brown and ripe; il
cut beforehand the unripe seed vii
never mature.
Flax at present is cultivated in thi,
country chiefly for seed, and the straw
from it is coarse and woody and def
cient in fibre. The seed sown is n
the rate of three pecks to the acre
When fibre is desired, bushels are
substituted for pecks. Investigation
shows that there is no reason why the
two should not be combined, and both
lint and seed produced by adopting 6
mean between the two practices o
flax culture. New York World.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Increase the number of hogs. So
long as people eat pork and bacon,
some use can be made of the meat.
In feeding grain to sheep feed a
small quantity often. Keep them dry,
and give them all the salt they want.
The winter evening should be en-
ployed in reading aloud and in amuse-
ment. That is one way to make farm
life pleasant to the children.
Dairy farmers who sell milk in New
York City get an average of about ten
cents per gallon. This is less than
our dairy farmers get in Southern
towns.
If at any time you have a spare
moment it would be well to look
around and see that all the tools and
machinery are in good order and ready
for the spring work.

The Market Place.

There is no doubt that the protec
ton which used to be accorded to the
market place from the earliest bar
barian times has played an important,
though not an exclusive. part in the
emancipation of the medieval city.
The cal ly barbarians knew no trade
within their village communities |;
they traded with strangers only, Mt
certain definite spots, on certain de.
termined days. And, in order that
the stranger might come to the barter
place without risk of being slain for
some feud which might be running
between two kins, the market was al
ways placed under the special protec-
ton of all kins. 1t was inviolable,
like the place of worship under the
shadow OF which it was held.
With the Kabyles it is still annaya,
like the footpath along which women
carry water from the well neither
must be trodden upon in ar rs, even
during intertribal wars. In medieval
times the market universally enjoyed
the same protection. No feud could
be prosecuted on the place whereto
people came to trade, nor within a
certain radius from it; and if quar-
rel arose in the motley crowd of buy
ers and sellers, it had to be brought
before those under whose protection
the market stood-the community's
tribunal, or the bishops, the lords,
or the Kings judge
A stranger who came to trade was a
guest, and he went on under this very
name. Even the lord who had nc
scruples about robbing merchant OF
the high road respected the WEIGH
bid, that is, the pole which stood in
the market place and bore either the
Kings arms, or glove, or the image
of the local saint, or simply cross,
according to whether the market was
under the protection of the King, the
lord, the local church, or the foll,mott
the vyeche. Tho Nineteenth Cen
