Notes.,

The National Nurseryman suggests
toward the improvement Of the black
berry and raspberry in the line. of re-
ducing the size of the seeds.
A heavy application Of ground bone
will produce excellent results, for sew
eral years, for the reason that the bone
gives off it's particles slowly, and is not
dissolved for several seasons.
Hot beds for early plants may be
prepared, and the manure put in later.
Save fresh horse, manure that is free
froGn litter, keeping it in g cool place.
so that it will not begin to heat until
wanted for use.
By clearing cut underIh~lsh and re-
fuse, not only from the fences and
other places but where piles have accu-
mulated in the forest, there will be less
liability of forest fires Green trees do
not take fire quickly. 1t is the dry ma
terial thas causes the damage
Where the best crops are produced
weeds never gain q footh0ld, and
never have a chance to grow. This law
is universal. Weeds do little injury to
good farms, and ON the contrary good
farming externinates weeds. This
fundamental truth should be taken
into consideration whenever the coun-
try becomes agitated over some new
weed.
experiments conducted at the Ala
bama Experiment Station with Rag;
millet Eleusine coracana, and Kodo
millet species of Paspalium, both OBJ
tanned from the Madras Presidency,
seem to prove that these plants will
make good pasture crops for cows and
other stock, and also be profitable hay-
producing plants in the Southern
States.

Objectionable in many cases, While the

Farmer Boys and Their Fathers.

DOyS d1.u hc1T
All farmers boys cannot take II
course at the agricultural college, but if
the fathers of these boys do their duty,
many of them will be able to take
a scarcely less valuable course of study
at home
The wide diffusion of agricultural
knowledge by means Of bulletins,
books, and the agricultural press, and
the influences of Oranges, Alliances,
and similar organizations, has produc-
ed large number of intelligent farm
ers. They know not only the art Of
farming but the science that under
lies it. Let them establish college at
home and train their own sons.
That the boys are not trained to fol-
low the calling of their fathers, and
made to feel a deep interest in it, is due
largely to thoughtlessness and care
lessness on the parts Of parents.
The boy is made acquainted only
with the rough side Of the business.
He is given duties to- perform with no
explanat ton of the why and the where
fore. He feeds the stock so much Of
this and of that, but is not told of the
mysteries of digestion, nor why it is.
better to feed one ration rather than
another He is left in the dark on the
subject of the nutritive value Of foods,
and sees no reason for the care he is
required to- exercise in feeding.
If it appears to the boys as Il weari-
some, humdrum business, the father is
probably at fault. Cali work and no
play makes Jack" a store clerk or a
lawyer instead Of q farmer.
It would be an advantage to the son
and the father, too, for the son to have
an insight into the business side of
farming, for him to know all about
the expenses and the income, the ne
cessity for certain expenditures and Cor
economy in other directions. He should
be taught how to buy and how to sell.
Many boy has to- learn all this after
his father dies, and! the responsibility
lis suddenly thrown on his shoulders

One trouble with Wire fences is the
liability of the wires to become loose,

Lord Salisbury has again broken loose
on the question Of ending or mending the
House Of Lords. II We may judge from
the way that this movement collapsed
when an effort was made some months
ego 20 constitute it an issue, the question
is hardly a practical one. even for pur-
poses Of political "buncombe." There are
only two ways by which the House Of
Lords can be mended or ended. one is
for the lords TO vote for their own recon-
struction. or taking of. the other Is 10y

beral government. the conditions are
more unfavorable for either plan than

OF course everybody has read. or will
read. the letters Of Messrs. Cleveland ana
JIiu 10 the Tammany celebration of the
Fourth Of July. though those letters are
remarkable rather for what they DO not
contain than for what they do contain.
Rufus Choate's "glittering eeneralities
were Of nature different from the ma
lure Of those with which Messrs. Hill
and Cleveland made up their letters.
In the first place, some people VIII
draw from these letters the inference
that both Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Hill
are aspirants to the office of President
of the United States We have hereto
fore expressed the opinion that however
ambitious Mr. Cleveland might be, he
would not allow his name to go before
the Democratic National Convention OF
1896: but would respect the unwritten law
OF the republic. and The examples set 10y
General Washington ana General Grant
and refuse to permit his name 10 go be
fore the Democratic National Convention
There IS no d,arth of men qualified TO
make good Presidents. We see in Mr.
Cleveland's Tammany letter nothing that
would Justify Us in changing the opinion
we have heretofore expressed. ON The
contrary. he warns Tammany against
any violent act" in the political Held
and advises that society TO teach by ex-
ample and uttcranCe the potency of adj
herring 10 sound and consistent principles
As to Mr.. HIS letter. we may say
that Il was written with one eye upon
the presidential office. OF all Of our
statesmen. h is perhaps the solidest ana
most outspoken; and when he says any
thing 10 the public It is apt 10 be some
thing that will occasion comment Thus
read. Mr.. HuIs Tammany letter points
him out as ponderng the probable issues
Of the next presidential campaign. He
speaks Of the rights of the States
though Tammany has no peculiar inter
est in those rights. He tells MS that
there is spirit Of "unpatriotism and
socialism" abroad in the land. He also
tells us that there are people who are III
favor of a more liberal construction OF
the Federal Constitution than our faith
ers were ever willing 90 sane
ton. When he speaks Of "odi-
Gus schemes Of taxation" We under
stand him to be aiming a blow at the In
come-tax lie reminds Tammany Of the
efforts to extend the jurisdiction of the
Federal courts. An instance OF the
holiness which we have credited TO Mi
Hill may be found in his denunciation OF
fhe people who are clamoring for a hat
or deprecated currency in the place OF
the coined money Of the Constitution.
In this connection, we would remind the
reader that Mr.. Hin believes In CO.
operative free coinage. holding that II
IS practicable. and says he expects to
continue in that belief. He also de-
nounces those persons who, he says.
desire to inHict upon IA the enactment
and arbitrary enforcement Of unjust, vex
atious. and purltanical sumptuary laws.
which needlessly interfere with the harm
less habits and customs Of large portions
OF our people" We presume these large
portions of our people constitute the for
eign element.
But enough. Read the letters.
