Wheat After Potatoes,

If the potato field is properly culti-
waited and kept clean, as it should be for
the benefit of the potato crop, it is very
easily prepared, by the use of modern
tools. into an excellent seed bed for
wheat. We are readily able to secure
shallow layer of finely prepared sur
face soil upon compact under soil. A
loose soil of great depth is not to be de-
sired. 1t allows the drill to deposit the
seed at too great depth. With COM
pact undersoil it is probable that one
half inch of fine earth above the seed is
better than more. Under these condi-
tions the seed will receive sufficient
moisture to produce early and vigorous
termination. But probably the greatest
benefit we can get from firm soil is the
fact that it causes the roots of the wheat
plant to spread out rather than to strike
deep. When the ground freezes dur
ing winter and spring, the roots rise
with it without breaking, and when it
thaws fall with it, without the serious
injury which results to the deep rooted.
1t is asserted by some that wheat Is
not a good crop to follow potatoes. They
base their assertion upon the fact that

What Sheep Will Do.

Prof. c. F. Curtiss, of the Iowa Agri
cultural Experiment Station, says it has
been shown by the experiments at the
Iowa station that while well-bred cattle
coming two years old being fattened un-
der favorable circumstances will make
123 pounds of increase in weight from
1000 pounds of a given kind of feed,
good lambs under one year will make
1873 pounds of increase in live weight
from 1000 pounds of a similar ration;
and the mutton in this case sold for
more than the beef. In this comparison
no allowance is made for the value of
droppings from the cattle or the fleece
of the lambs. This showing does not
argue against the economy of beef-mak-
ing. 1t only reveals more clearly the
fact that mutton production ought to
become permanent, ell-established
feature of Western agriculture, and that
farmers and feeders ought more gener-
ally to avail themselves Of the outlet
for the surplus of grain and hay crops.

Notes From Our Exchanges.


Remember two seasons Of good work
are necessary to produce best crops Of
berries.
Root cuttings make best plants. Sc
lect strong roots in spring or fall, cut in
pieces about five inches long and SOW in
drills about three feet apart.
1t will pay any farmer to read about
his business, for, no matter how eXpe-
rienced he may be, there are many
things he will never learn from his own
venture.
The statement was made at farmers
club in Great Britain that the income
of one garden of ten acres, covered with
glass, exceeded that from 1000 acres of
the best farm land of the country.
The wheat-grower who points with
satisfaction to the advancing price on his
cereal can be matched easily enough by
the cattle-grOwer when he notes the
strong demand and advancing prices for
feeders.
The suggestion is good one that it is
better to have some green fodder, to be
fed out as needed, than to attempt to
enlarge the pasture where all is liable
to get short and inadequate to the wants
of the stock.
The black knot ON the plum tree can
often be effectually checked by saving
off the knot and painting the wound with
linseed oil, to which little carbOlic acid
is added and enough oxide of iron to
give it color.
The farmer who centers his hope in
cattle and grass will have a much more
even and satisfactory course before him
than one who depends mainly on grain.
1t is certain he will not find it so difficult
to keep up his land.
All vine seeds, if kept cool, dark and
dry are good for at least five years, and
will improve rather than deteriorate by
age. Turnip and cabbage seed will re-
tain vitality equally long. Beets and
carrots are good for three years.
Every time that cattle suffer so must
the owner. An insufficient water sup
ply or a supply of bad water is one cause
of disease and wasting; see that they
have plenty, and that it Is pure. See,
also, that they do not have to stand all
the hot day in pasture without shade.
At the New York station, where a rec
ord OF all food consumed by each cow
is kept together with its cost, the cost
Of milk varies from Al cents per 100
pounds, to $1.48 from different animals.
These examples show that there are too
many poor cows The poor ones eat the
profits Of the good ones.
Never give your fowls or chicks milk
III any form to drink. 1t is a waste Of
your very best food. The fowls or chicks,
as may be, waste and throw it about,
sOiling themselves and the ground. 1t
sours in the heat and both the stock and
their surroundings scatter disease. Use
the milk to mix the food.
1t is sometimes desirable to propagate
your own plants. If so, select strong
new growth of currants and grapes, as
soon as the leaves fall cut in pieces
about eight inches long, each piece con-
tanning three buds. Set in long straight
rows, eight or ten inches apart, leaving
top bud near the surface Of the ground.
Cultivate and keep free from weeds.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that Is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure Is
the only positive cure known to the med
ical fraternity. Catarrh being a c0nsti-
tutional disease requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood

The mother ia at tho head of the patriarohal establishment, in which her sons, their wives and often her nephews and nieoea dwell. She rules her sons and sons wives, tho latter, perhaps, with a somewhat severe hand, especially dur ing the first year Of their married lives, when, except to attend church, they may not 90 out, though, when the daughters law in their turn become mothers greater liberty is permitted them.

 The Armenian national costume COZ sists of voluminous skirt of heavy bro- oadsd material, a tight sleeyed bodice of the same stuff, much embroidered about the front, with handsome filigree silver belts marking the waist. Tho head coverings are liehus of fringed embroid- cred silk, and a multitude of chains and coins hang round their neeks, L winter the embroidered bodice is ex. changed for 5 wadded one, and huge felt shoes arc worn over tho ordinary boots to keep out the biting cold. Though the Armenian women do not wear veils to conceal their features as Q point of re- ligion. they not infrequently do cover their faces with gauge or Q corner of e shawl
 Some of tho younger women, however, have diaoarded their native costume for that of London three years ago, and they are evidently not quite at ease in their newly acquired oorsets. They copy the fashion pla1es in English papers and produce wonderful combinations of pink, bluo and violet, which are further adorn- cd with quantities of brilliant jewelry. They are full of curiosity regarding the life Of civilized nations, particularly in the matter of marriage. and never miss an opportunity of obtaining information on the subject. .-St Louis Dispatch.
