A polNTnR roR FARMrRs.

Every summer after the storing
OF the hay and grain crops we hear
of barn fires, the origin of which,
being unknown is ascribed to 1ncen-
diarism, though, doubtless if the real
cause could be ascertained it be
would found that they were there
suit of spontaneous combustion, ow-
ing to hay or other new crops while
in process of fermentation evolving
heat sufficient to produce fire. If
farmers wish to prevent their hay
stacks or burns from firing they
need only to scatter a few handfuls
OF common salt between the LAYERS.
The theory is that the salt by alb
sorbing the humidity of the hay
not only prevents its fermentation
and consequently heating, but it
also adds a salty taste to the forage
which all cattle like, and besides, it
stimulates the appetite and assists
their digestion and so prevents them
from many diseases. = New York

Returning prosperity. the country
over, after three years or more of
depression, seems to be manifesting
itself first of all in the agricultural
states This affords something of a
surprise to the politicians, econc.
mists md publioists. sThey have
been predicting it would appear first
in the manufacturing districts, upon
the settlement of the tariff question
and a resumption of industrial ac-
tivities. But foreign countries want
our splendid crops, meats and dairy
products at prices more remunera-
tive to farmers, and an era of pros
perity will be none the less welcome
everywhere because it is appar-
emily beginning its growth in our
central and western states. In no
way can the business health of the
entire country be better conser we'd
than through the prosperity of the
farmers. - American Agrioulturist.

1t is reported TINT sample of sugar
beets from Genesee county, n. Y,
show IA and 1871 per cent. sugar, as
against 10 to ~ per cent, the aver
age in France. When the United
States produces the greater part of
its sugar it will keep great deal of
money from going abroad that il
does not at present.
IT will all have tendency to i'm
prove the home market for other
farm products Let the sugar beet
industry go ahead.
We quote from an article in the
National Stockman and Farmer, that
within the last five years results OBJ
tanned in the fields and labratory
have demonstrated beyond ques-
tion that the sugar beet can be
grown in paying quantities and
quality in the sugar beet belt of the
United States, sufficient not only
to furnish America but the world.
The best soil is a mellow, sandy
loan.
Of course, sugar beets cannot be
grown to advantage in Pike county,
at the present time at least.
