DRAINING THE SWAMP.

Swamp lands vary greatly IN the cost
of drainage, soma being very easily
drained, merely requiring a good out
let. ard drains to catch the water that
comes down on them from the sur
rounding upland, while others having
hard and impervious subsoiI near the
surface, require frequent drains over
the entire surface. Springy swamp5
are usually the most d fiji ;ult to drain
well, as it is necessary TO so cut the
bitches as TO tap the stream of water
before it reaches the surface, and this
RI Quires much skill and experience
Tne nature Of the vegetation growing
in a swamp will have considerable in
fl lence on the cost of reclamation.
Many swamps are ditched and then
left without any further attempt at
rendering them productive, the owners
supposing that they, being rid of their
surplus water, will, like new cleared
upland, soon produce good pasture
without seeding. This is a mistake; !;
the old marsh vegetation is firmly
rooted, ard though the drained land is
not so we'll suited to it's growth, it
hangs on and is replaced very slowly
or not at all by better food. Now, if
we have to spend any money at all on
these lands, the only way to get it back
is to keep working on them till they
will grow good crops Of some kind
Cut eff the brush and break up the
wild grass sod, and get some coed tame
grasses growing.
The most of our swamp lands, when
properly ditched and cleared, are
especially adapted to graz ng and the
production Of grass.-Rural World.

BIG PRICES FOR HOGS.

This is free country and a man as
the legal right to pay big prices for
any thing he wishes, but whether he is
justified in doing 80 is another ques,
tion,
Perhaps there has been no breeding
stock for which longer prices, proper
tionately, have been paid, than hogs.
We fear these prices have been some
times based upon the assumption that
the dam or sire of a given animal bad
been sold for q longer price, rather
than upon the real merit or worth of
the animal in question.
While we believe strongly in thor
oughbred stock and advise every
farmer to buy the best sire for his drove
that he can aff )rd, We do not think it
business policy or profitable for the
ordinary farmer or stock raiser to pay
long prices for stock that should, upon
it's merit, be bought for much lees.
d. not be afraid to pay a good, hon
est price for q good, serviceable sire of
merit, but pay DO long price for the off
spring Of hOg for which some one has
been said to have paid fancy price.
Pay for merit, not long priced pedigree,

THE DAMAGE TO COTTON.

Recent crop exchanges in the cotton
belt make it by no means sure that the
1896 crop will prove the large one
which bearish operators have long
maintained. The favorable conditions
which were general in about all the
cotton growing States up to fortnight
ago must now be modified. Excessive
heat and drouth have prevailed over
the South, particularly the Gulf States
and the lower Mississippi valley. So
important is this considered that the
government weather bureau has sent
out special bulletins making known
the threatening situation. These bui
letins intensity the State reports found
in another column and which were
compiled little earlier The intense
heat and drouth have apparently
caused considerable Injury. First re
ports of this character are always liable
to exaggeration, and it is possible that

WHAT CLOVER DOES.

The best way cf proceeding depends
upon local conditions on the farm that
has failure Of the clover, but it may
be helpful to consider just what this
plant 0o1e Eyr the soil. M'seh has been
made Of the power of clover to add
nitrogen from the air to the soil, and
this is an important item; but there is
not a bit of doubt that this peculiar
power of leguminous plants has been
dwelt upon too much to the exclusion
of other effects they have upon the soil,
and it's Importance has been exegger
ated. Careful experiments have shown
that clover does not take it's nitrogen
from the air when the supply in the
soil is sufficient for it's needs, and yet
we know that a rank growth of clover
on good land makes it much more pro
ducti7e. This fact, in connection with
the experience of those who have used
non leguminous plants for green ma
nuring, indicates that it is not the
nitrogen gathering feature of manurial
plants that gives them their chief
valuo

A NEW BULLETIN.

The United States Department of
Agriculture has recently issued from
the Division of Vegetable Physiology
enl Pathology. Bulletin NJ. 9, by
Walter T. Swingle, which treats tech
nically Of the chemistry, physical
properties, and toxic effects of BJr
deaux mixture on fungi and algae.
The bulletin is intended not only to
record the results of Investigations, but
also to suggest lines of work that might
profitably be taken up by experiment
stations and other aimilar institutions
While techical in its nature the bulle
tin contains many suggestions Of prac
tical value. It shows that the chemis
try, as we'll as the structure of Bor-
deaux mixture, may be materially
changed by the methods of bringing
together the ingredients, and suggests

follows:
Large; oval, dark red, hairy; rich
and agreeable. Although this is for
eign variety, it has succeeded admir-
ably on our grounds, where it has
fruited extensively for several years.
We can confidently recommend it,
both for the garden of the amateur and
the market plantation. The plant is
remarkably vigorous and productive
and the fruit large, beautiful and of
excellent quality. Where shoots are
left long, they fruit to the very tips.

SIX GOOD RULES.

An experienced breeder gave the fol-
lowing hints as to the management of
sheep for profit, at a recent farmers
meeting:
If you expect sheep to thrive well,
give them: 1 Dry, warm shelter. g.
Regular attention. Salt in their
reach at all times P.enty of pure
water throughout the year. 8. Plenty
of good clover hay. Do not stuff
the ewes with grain unless you are fat
tening them for market, but give them
a small allowance of corn and oats,
equal parts, twice day while they are
carrying their lambs. After they drop
their lambs increase the feed, and with
the proper care and attention your
sheep will do well.

MAKE FARMING ATTRAC TIVE.

The continued decrease in rural pop
ulation leads a Boston exchange to the
conclusion that agriculture is rapidly
being abandoned for life in the great
cities. That this is too largely true
cannot be doubted, yet the causes
which have Effected the change natural
to the mutations which have marked
all lines Of business end all phases Of
life during the past quarter Of cen
tury. Invention alone has been a
powerful factor; the building up Of
great manufacturing plants in cities
and IN towns lying close to farming
districts, is another. The lack OF social
life on the farm and the growing de-
eire for association with kindred spirits
are conditions which have tend.d in
tuis direction, and these seem most
susceptible to ameIioraticn and &C
Complishment.

Toned boy on the farm is going to leave
1t just es soon as he can DO so. To
work until physically exhausted and
rendered mentally incapable of enjoy

only natural product of an INTEL gent
and ambitious people who resents it.
1t is not necessary that this should be
the order of things on farm. Proper
appliances, systematic employment of
time and tools, doing the right thing at
the right time-all these helps to eco
nOmical management have to do with
making farm life agreeable and attrac
tive, and that father makes a serious
mistake who fails to encourage in all
ways the use Of the most modern helps
to easy farming.
Farming, like any other pursuit,
may be made delight or transformed
into drudgery. In the past it has been
too much of the latter. The way to
restore agriculture to it's old place
among life's callings is to make it
worthy Of that honorable position.
And this none but the farmer may do

sUNKRN MEADOWS OF HoLLANr

Toe long drought of the present
spring, which has destroyed or dwarfed
the pastures of Southern England, has
raised in the wet meadows of Holland
a crop of grass and fl )wers such as has
not been seen for twenty seasons. In
draining their fats the Dutch have
created a region of pasture unlike that
in any country of the world, and il
spite of the labor of keeping it clear Of
water, they would probably refuse to
exchange their ''polders," as those
suDken meadows are called, for any
other district of the same area. The
general appearance of these pastures,
with their herds of black and white
cattle, and innumerable ''rhines" and
bitches, is familiar to travellers. But
they are difficult of access, as, apart
from the absence of hedges, the Dutch
farmers object to trespass on their
precious grass land.
