been an attache of the store. Since his promo

for an increase of $40 per month. ''Ny, ShOn."

Chemical Farming.

In bis manual ON Fertilizer Farm

the head Of Possibilities of Chemical

Live stock is not absolutely essential
to successful agriculture. Beyond the
animals needed for work, the farmer is
not obliged to keep single head. Ami

nure makers are about the biggest hum
bugs of the day. Good chemical fertili-
zers with the wastes of crops-that is,
the unstable portions like straw, roots,
stalks and stubble-will supply all that
stable wastes supply, and fully main
tain the crops.
Fertilizers intelligently applied are
as fasting i'll their effects as stable
manure, When used i'll large quantities
ON potatoes, their effects may be plainly
seen for five years. Fertilizers are more
effective i'll time of drought, yield finer
favored and cleaner potatoes, and enable
crops to be matured earlier than with
stable manure. They are more easily
applied and save hand labor and time.

1t is generally considered that the
richest of all lima beans are those of
the potato lima type like Dreer's I'm
proved and Challenge This type of
beans makes smaller and less snowy
pod than many of the large white lima
type, but the pods are usually closer
packed with turgid seeds. For the per-
son who buys beans i'll the pod these
arc the more economical, Willie the one
who sells beans i'll tie pod would secure
Il larger bulk by growing some of the
very large podded, flat lima type, like
Kaighn, Jersey, May Champion and the
like.
For ripe beans, the large white fat
limas usually sell best, but there arc
many persons who prefer IA green lima.
The red and speckled limas are as good
i'll quality as the white or green ones,
but most persons do not like this dark
color. In the test last year ut the Cor
nell station ii was thought that the best
six beans, considering eaTliness, produc-
tiveness and quality, were the Jersey,
Extra Early or Bliss, Kaighn, May
Champion, Dreer's Improved and the

THE CANNED GOODS SITUATION.
The Tendency Is to Restrict the Pack, but
Keep Up the Quality.


Keep Up the Quality.
The tendency everywhere is undoubt-
edly to restrict the pack; this in order
to get relief from the burdensome stocks
which have depressed the market the
past two years and that the business
may be placed on a more satisfactory
basis Inquiry on the part of American
Agriculturist among the various canning
associations reveals this, together with
the fact that there is a universal opinion
among packers that the business is
greatly overdone The authority already
quoted makes this report:
CoDtracts are now being made with
growers for fruits and vegetables, and
the tendency is toward lower rates than
prevailed last season.
There is no uniform reduction, many
engaging their crops at former figures,
while others are obliged to accede to a
reduction Old established concerns, in
order to keep their machinery in opera
tion must pack about the same quantity
as last year, yet others will reduce the
output. 1t now looks as though the At

ers' association there was no carry over
stock up to three years ago, but since
that date tho surplus has been burden
some, as also i'll other parts Of the eoun-
try Canneries located in the Mississip-
pi and Missouri valleys, banded in the
Western Packers Canned Goods associa-
ton, are inclined to reduce their output
fer 1896. Across the line the pack will
certainly not be increased, members Of
the Canadian Packers association show
ing conservative feeling regarding the
future. Stocks carried over are smaller
| than last year, i'll the Atlantic states
| less than usual and in the middle and
western states much the same as "a year

The opinion is almost universal that
not alone must the pack be reduced, but
the quality must be kept up the com

The Decline of Pie.

Report comes from the restaurateurs OF
Chicago that one of the most distinctive
of American institutions is in danger
Pie. dear to Emerson and SO many other
good men, consumed thrice daily for gen
erations throughout the length and breadth
of the Great American Pie Belt, is no
longer in demand at the lunch-counter or
the hotel table. The pudding, the biscuit.
and the berry are slowly but surely taking
its place in popular affection. The
Worlds Fair did it, says the pie people.
There were strange things to eat there.
Visitors. leaving their good old, fashionc
ways, began to experiment. The insidi-
Gus love of novelty having once taken
possession of them, they were lost, and
few have returned to their old allegiance.
Perhaps pop corn and soda-water, corn
bread and buckwheat cakes, will follow
pie into oblivion. Who can tell? The
outlook for the patriot is dark indeed in
these latter days.-HUPeys WeehH.

will do all that is claimed for it. A year

Gooseberries are absolutely dependent
on insect fertilization, and Cheshire says,
in his interesting work on bees, that frost
is often blamed for the wholesale dropping
off of the goosebery flowers, when the
fact probably is that unfavorable weather
has prevented insects from doing their
work.
