Water Cress for PROFIT. .

Water crosses can be made to pay if
any vegetable can. If you have the right
facilities, i. e., piece of ground that
can be covered from one to six inches
deep, with cool, gently-fOwing water,
you will have no difficulty in producing
large amounts of this popular green
stuff. The most work connected with
it, indeed, is to cut and tie it in punches.
A springy meadow with a clay subsoil
is a good location for a crop. To start
a bed, all that is required is to stick
some slips or cuttings into the mud or
sand that is kept lightly covered with
water, or to sow some seed into the
moist soil on the edges of running
streams. The plant is so easily grown
that it is o wonder it is not found more
frequently on farmers premises. 1t is
worthy of more attention. In some
cases, a piece of ground that has some
slope, might be terraced and arranged
for growing water crosses in beds one
above another, the water flowing from
one to the other.-Practical Farmer.

Barrier and Trap Method Assures Most
Satisfactory Results.

The Oklahoma experiment station
says that it is practicable to keep chinch
bugs out of corn fields, and in many
cases out of the oat fields, even when
they have appeared in great numbers
in the wheat fields, AS help to this,
this station has advised the separation
Of the corn fields from the small grain
fields as far as possible, and to have
alfalfa between where this was practic-
able. The chinch bug does not feed on
alfalfa nor any of the cloyers. II does
feed on grasses, wild or cultivated, al
though it prefers wheat, and especially
barley and the millets. 1t has been ad-
yised to sow millet alongside or around
the wheat field so as to attract the bugs
to narrow area, thus helping to more
easily destroy them.
The method of saving the corn crop,
which is strongly advised, is called the
"barrier and trap" method. 1t con-
sists in forming barrier over which the
bugs cannot pass and then trapping
them in holes rs they collect at this
barrier. This method requires work
and attention but it has proved so
remarkably successful in many cases
that it is strongly recommended. One
reason for discontinuing the distribu-
tiOn of diseased bugs is that it has been
found that such distribution tends to
cause reliance on the possible spread of
the disease and unwillingness to make
the effort necessary to protect other
crops.

ABOUT COLD STORAGE.
Why Every Farm Should Have q Small
Plant OF It's Own.

FlBHg Oh Aus OWns
The cold storage business is taking
on immense proportions. Its develop
ment in the principal cities Of the coun-
try has been nothing less than phe-
nomenal of late years. And now cold
storage warehouses are being erected
at country shipping points. In some
cases they are put up by the farmers
themselves, who organize cooperative
stock companies and conduct the busi-
ness ON the same general principle that
Is applied so successfully in cooperative
creameries. Most of these cold storage
plants in both city and country use
chemical refrigeration or other arti-
fetal means of creating and maintain
ing low temperature. We under
stand that recent progress in this line
makes 1t possible to build and equip a
cold storage plant at comparatively rea-
Bonable cost. OF course, where the Ice
crop Is assured, no expensive refrigerat-
ing machinery Is required, and in such
localities cold storage can be provided
In connection with a neighborhood ice
houae. The fact that cold storage ID
The advocate., 1896-07-01

coming into such extensive use in the
cities is the best possible evidence that
it generally pays to thus hold perishable
products until they can be marketed to
the Disadvantage. Now, If this is such a
good thing for marIrctmen, cold storage
can be equally useful to farmers, espe-
cially as they can utilize its advantages
by the cooperative method. Almost any
farmer can have fruit retarding house
built on a side hill, which does not re-
quire ice, and o small cold storage room
should be a feature of every farm or
home icehouse.-Orange Judd Farmer.

The Head Of tho Dairy Herd.

Daniel Munroe says: The most i'm.
portant of all selections is the head of
the herd. The bull we breed from
should combine as much concentration
of the very best family records as we
can positively buy or breed. The value
of a good bull was finely illustrated
last summer, when one of the largest
dairies in the province was disposed of
at public sale-95 head of young things,
three generations, bred from the herd
and sired by choice thoroughbred bull,
were offered, and brought prices that
mrcst have been gratifying to the owner
in return for his Investment, while the
purchasers were equally well pleased
with their end of it. But that was not
the end; the influence Of that bull will
live on for many years scattered over
the province to the great benefit Of the
dairy interest. Moral: Don't look at
the dollars too long when you need
good bull.

Preparation of Spraying Mixtures.

Too much care cannot be taken in
preparing any mixture to be used on
trees and fruits. If not properly pre-
pared, injury may follow. Bordeaux
mixture, if properly prepared, will not
injure the apple; but if there is not
sufficient amount of lime, injury may
follow, causing the surface of the apple
to be russeted and rough. Also damage
to foliage may result. Other fruits are
susceptible to injury from the mixture,
If carelessly prepared. This mixture

The Annual Message.

President Cleveland sent his fourth an
nual message to Congress when it assem-
bIed for its second session on Monday last.
The most OF it is devoted to a discussion
of affairs in Cuba. 1t speaks highly of
the Spanish government and it also has a
high opinion of the rebels. The only pos
tive statement is that the time has not
arrived for action by the United States,
and that if the Spanish Government fails
in the present conflict that the United
States will permit no other power to ex-
tend its authority over the Island.
The President recognises Congress as
representatives of the people. The Con
gress that passed the Wilson tariff bill,
which was so radically changed in the
Senate, just as every tariff bill has been for
the last forty years, at least, was severely
criticised in two foolish and unpatriotic
letters, one written to Representative Viii
son and the other to Representative Catch
ings, and now Mr.. Cleveland in fact re-
cognizes that he was wrong and that a
Democratic Senate was right. He admits
that the present tariff bill produces more
revenne than the Mckinley high protec-
tive tariff bill, and he does not recommend
any change, for he believes that future
operations of that once hated Gorman tariff
bill, with proper economy in expenditure,
will suffice to raise enough revenue to meet
all necessary governmental expenses.
Mr.. Cleveland had to tell facts, even
though those facts showed that Cleveland
was wrong and that his Wilson and Catch
ings letters were wrong.

A Big Porker.

A letter to the Baltimore Sun say: VIM.
H. Travers, of Cabin Creek, Dorchester coun-
ty, has slaughtered his big hog, believed to be
the biggest in America for its age, IS months,
and which, it is estimated, fully 5000 people
went to see, some riding as far as 25 miles.
1t drew the attention of many Talbot people,
and some betting on its weight was done.
The animal was killed on the 7th of Decem-
ber. Three bullets from No. English bull
dog revolver were fred into him and he was
then stabbed seven times to kill him. Hung
up, the hog measured in length feet 81
inches and weighed dressed 947 pounds. He
was the cross of Poland China boar with Jer-
sey sow, and was one of litter of ten pigs
Mr.. Travers thus describes the last days of
feeding the huge animal; "We fed him on
ground wheat meal, one gallon three times a
day, made up with milk, for the last three
months. For the last week or two he had
failed in eating. In fact, he could not stand
on his feet long enough to eat meal" OF

were sold at eight weeks old for $3.50 each,
and one was slaughtered when seven months
old and dressed 289 pounds

Legal to Hug Your Wife.

SusoUEHANNA, Pa, December 9.-In the

Tuesday jury decided that a man had a
right to hug his wife, even against her pro-
testations This novel verdict was found in
the Criminal Court case of H. j. Hoover, of
Bald Mount, who was accused by his wife
with assault and battery.
She declared that he seized her by the
wrists one day, and also squeezed her so
tightly about the waist that she was choked.
Mr.. Hoover admitted that he did this, but
not so violently as his wife alleged Hoover
alleged that he and his wife had falling out
in the morning, and that they did not speak
to each other all day long. At night he ap-
preached her with proposition that they
kiss and make Hp, but She refused to acqui-
esce. He followed her again and attempted
to caress her. She repelled his endearmenls.
He then caught her by the wrists, and, draw
ing her into his lap, hugged her right heartily.
In the morning she arose early aud informed
Der relatives of her husbands proceedings,
and they insisted that he be prosecuted. The
jury Of twelve men, good and true, not only
found Hoover not guilty, but directed Will

Enormous Yield of Corn.

The 1896 crop of corn, now practically
secured, is placed at 2,260, 1000, 600 bushels,
according TO the December report of the
American Agriculturist While this enor-
nous total has been foreshadowed, the au.
thority named says there is the greatest dis
appointment in quality of the product. Com
plant of failure to ripen aud properly dry out
is very general, and in some districts the
quality is so poor that loss from heating has
followed efforts to crib. While the crop is
the largest ever grown, the amount of mer-
chantable corn is probably less than was pro-
duced last year. The average rate of yield is
27.9 bushels of shelled corn from an acre, a
total of 81 ,402, 900 acres.
