Planting Beans and Potatoes.

The rule to plant beans with the eye
down may answer with very late plant
Ing, but Is not to be recommended while
the soil Is cool and moist early in
spring. The bean is very impatient OF
wet or cold, and Is more likely to rot
with Its eye turned down than when
the eye is turned toward light, air AMI
warmth. On the other hand, potatoes
which somebody has advised to be
planted with the cut side down ought
always to be planted exactly the other
way. The potato likes cool and moist
soil, and Its roots grow all the stronger
while the shoot starts from under the
cut piece, and then turns upward to the
light. Twenty years or more ago we
made careful experiment In planting
potatoes, having four rows, two of
which were planted cut side up and the
other two the reverse. The rows were
close together, and the potatoes which
had to start and turn in the soil before
coming to the surface had all the sea-
son stronger vines and in the fall yield
ed more marketable potatoes than did
the other. The vines also kept green
longer, because the roots starting under
the potato set got firmer hold on the
soil than when they started near the
surface.-American Cultivator.

Saved by q Hatchet,

Golden Days tells a story of pros
pector in Alaska, who, In company with
eight other men, was walking across a
great ice-feld. At one place a thin
sheet of Ice hid from view a crack about
three feet wide.
The party approached the crevasse
diagonally, the prospector in advance,
when suddenly he and the next man In
the line slipped through the thin coat
Ing of Ice and disappeared In the chasm
below. Their cries narrowly prevented
some Of the others from meeting a SINH
lar fate.
The second man carried gun, and as
he held on to It, the weapon lodged
crossways In the crevice, and enabled
him to be rescued; but the prospector
went down at least seventy-five feet,
and was tightly damned between the
walls of Ice.
He could not be seen, but his voice
could be distinctly heard directing the
movements of his rescuers Blankets
were torn into strips and tied into
rope. This was lowered to the impris-
oned man, who fastened one end around
his body. When the rope was pulled,
however, 1t was found that he was
damned in so tightly that he could not
be moved without tearing him asun-
der.
The rescuers were in a quandary, but
the imprisoned man suggested that
they lower him a Ratchet, and when
this was done he chopped himself loose
In short order. Altogether he was thir-
ty minutes in the Icy tomb, and it was a
week before he recovered from the
shock

Keeping Up Fertility.

One of the surest marks of good
gardener Is that he always is on the
lookout to have on hand an ample sup
ply of fertihzing matter for the soil.
How reasonable that is, and yet strange
to say one meets with persons who,
judging only by their acts, seem to
think that plants do not need food.
They need it quite as much as do ami
mails; both grow from that on which
they feed. 1t is true all cultivated soil
contains some plant food In the shape
of vegetable humus, deposited there In
one way or another, In the past. But
the good gardener looks upon present
fertility as a sort of revenue, and sees
to 1t that enough manure Is applied to
the soil each year to meet the needs OF
the current crops.
1t would be a lesson to some amateur
gardeners to visit the successful mar
ket gardens Of our large cities and see
how, year after year, thick coats of
manure, thirty or forty tons to the acre,
are applied.-American Gardening.

Care of Horses.

The annoying sores made by the mar
ness can be almost entirely prevented
by intelligent care. The pressure OF
the harness and collar upon parts not
accustomed to 1t, IL long continued, so
congresses the blood vessels that the
normal flow Of blood Is checked, the
vessel walls are bruised and partially
paralyzed, and the muscles are also
bruised and weakened. 1t is an excel
lent plan to have an old cloth attach
ed to the harness to use to wipe the per-
SEPARATION from the shoulder. On re
moving the harness battle with cold wa
ter the parts upon which the harness
has rested heavily. This contracts the
muscles and tends to prevent infiam-
nation and swelling of the parts.
Should an injury appear battle the
part with cold water, or apply Ice so
long as there is any Inflammation or fe-
yer. Pads kept wet with cold water
are beneficial. After the fever has sub
sided use warm water to hasten the re-
pair of the parts. Whenever the skin
is broken from any cause, battle with
a two or five per cent solution of creo-
line. 1t should be used where the skin
is badly bruised, as 1t prevents infec-
ton of the rts.-Agriculturist.

Farm Notes.

A Wisconsin farmer, who had some
Canada thistles on his farm, says he ex-
terminated them by cutting them off
an inch under ground and giving them
a dose or common salt.
A sheep should be caught by the hind
leg or by placing the arm under its neck
and never by the wool. To carry the
sheep, stand at its left, pass right arm
over, with hand resting under brisket
just back of fore legs, lift and grasp left
hind leg with left hand as you lift.
When snow is on the ground rabbits
have hard time securing food and will
eat anything that will prevent starva-
ton. 1t Is then that they girdle trees
and do damage which is not within the
power Of the farmer to repair. Smear
ing the trunk with blood or wrapping
the trees with tarred paper or mosquito
netting two feet from the ground serves
as protection.
On many farms early lambs have al
ready appeared, and the object should
be to force them in growth as much as
possible. One of the best foods for
them, as soon as they are old enough to
eat, Is ground oats. The ewes should
be fed not only grain and hay, but also
carrots, turnips and other succulent
food, so as to induce full supply of
milk
The piles of stalks and straw which
go to waste can be made to do good
service in providing shelter IL it Is not
considered fit for feeding With few
posts and poles the stalks and straw
will furnish warm refuge for animals
that cannot be accommodated In the
barn or stable. With plenty of straw on
the ground, under the covering so form
ed no better place could be arranged
for sheep, and with care In making the
roof only heavy storm will cause 1t to
leak.
Whenputtlng down drain tile 1t is bet
ter to take time and do 1t properly than
to slight the work, as any defect after
the tile is covered cannot be remedIed
without mourning an extra expense
and an obstruction is not easily located
The tile should be so laid that the Joints
will not be displaced and the bed on
which the tile rests should be firm. If
the work Is done intelligently, and in a
manner to provide perfect drainage, the
tile should do service for many years
without getting out of order.

Here is a letter from The pastor of
the most influential church in South
Baltimore, that every truthseeker
should read carefully.
Every disheartened sick person and
every man or woman who has lost
faith in the remedies he or she has
tried because none of them has done
any good-every one who is sick ought
to be cheered up and filled with new
hope and determination by the letter
written by Rev. William t. Bailey,
pastor of the Curtis Bay Church, the
most influential church in South Balti-
more.
On March 81, 1896, IL lie Baltimore

lshed the following news of Rev. Mr..
Bailey's affection:

dismissed, and DR.. = was called.
He said Mr.. Bailey was suffering from
severe aIIaCk OI nervous pTOSlTdtlOH

Dormant Buddin0

Prof. Price says the method of dor
mant budding, as practiced at the Tex
as station, consists of cutting a slip
of bark, with some wood attached.
down the tree about one inch, leaving
1t attached at the lower end. About
half of this slip Is then cut off, leaving
the other half still attached to the tree.
Cut off bud, leaving some wood also
attached to 1t to prevent injury, and
then carefully place 1t between the slip
and tree, so that 1t will fit nicely, and
the cambium of the bud and tree come
In contact. Tie tight with some mate
rial, such as raffia. In Ave or six days
the bud will be found to have knit firm
ly. Treat them as those budded in the

There is popular idea thar sweet
corn is richer than common field corn.
In fact they are chemically just the
same, the carbon in the sweet corn ap-
pearing as sugar and starch and In the
field corn as starch alone. The sweet
corn is most palatable, therefore prob
ably most digestible. AS the sweet
corn will not yield in either stalks or
grain as much as field corn, 1t would
seem to be good plan to grow field
corn for the main feed and enough
sweet corn to use as a change, or when
the appetite for starchy food has been
cloyed But oats or wheat middlings
would be better for this even than
would sweet corn.

The Barn Cisteru.

Every barn will shed from its roof
enough water for all the stock that
can be kept on the feed 1t contains or
the cattle 1t will shelter. If this water
is duly conducted into a cistern in the
barn basement and filtered before us
ing, 1t Is much the best water the stock
can have for drink. In the basement
the water will never be down to freez-
ing temperature, which Is an important
matter, as every degree Of cold has to
be warmed to animal heat by the car
bonaceous food that the animal has d.
gested. If 1t is a milch COW that has
its water thus warmed, 1t detracts just
so much from the butter fats which
the milk will contain. That is about
as expensive warmth, even at low
prices for butter, as the farmer ever
pays for.

Patching PiRs in Winter.

There is very rarely much profit In
keeping pigs through the winter and In
the meantime fitting them for sale for
spring porkers. The trouble is In keep
ing the pig warm enough to make the
best use of his food, and secondly, In
giving him the material to make
growth as well as fat. Milk is scarcer in
winter than at any other time of year.
In fact, 1t cannot be had on most farms.
Yet by cooking some fine wheat mid
dlings, to which tablespoonful of lin
seed meal for each quart Of porridge
has been added, very satisfactory
substitute for skim milk may be made.
1t will be really richer in nutritive val
Ne than is skim milk, and II pigs so fed
have warm quarters, they Will thrive
just as well as they Will in summer

HIDDEN PLACES.

Why weasel should hate a rat is strange
as he is only an elongated rat himself
Rats and mice love hidden places, and a
weasel is about the only living thing that
can find them out. Aches and pains are
like rats and mice. They seek out the
hidden places of the human system and
gnaw and ravage the muscles and nerves.
st. Jacobs Oil, like weasel knows how to
go for them. II will penetrate to the secret
recesses of the pain, and breaks up its hab-
itation and drives it out. Rats and mice
shun the corners where weasel has been,
and pains and aches once fairly driven out
by St Jacobs Oil are permanently cured
and seldom come back to their old haunts.
There must be patience with the treatment
some chronic forms are stubborn and re-
sist, but the great remedy will finally con
quer and give health and strength to the
afflicted parts

Drausht Horses on the Road.

The strength OF the draught horse
enables him to make good time for a
short sprint, despite the excess of
weight he carries. But unless on soft
dirt roads fast driving of draught
horses should not be attempted, be-
cause the excess of weight makes the
pounding of the horses feet on the hard
surface all the more severe. 1t is well
known that heavy horses are quite apt
to have defective feet This we believe
to be the cause. Kept to their appro-
pirate pace on the road and on the farm

service years after they are 20 years
old. 1t is nervous worry that shortens

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins q Company's Review
of Trade.

Downing, Hopkins & Company's Review
of Trade.
Trading in wheat this week has not
been widespread, but to a great extent
was confined within the ranks OF the
professionals, who are considerably
worked up ever the increasing amount
of bad crop news. st. Louis appears TO
be the center OF the disturbance and
has been persistently loading the wries
with stories of great harm done. Many
traders have been disinclined to give
the reports much attention, and in fact
have only arched their eyebrows when
brought to their notice Many of those
who have been loathe to acknowledge
these stories are now changing front
and think there must be some fire where
there is so much smoke. The country
at large, though, is only buying wheat
sparingly, but st. Louis professionals
appear to be taking hold literally, and
are pinning their faith in the reliability
is just the time of year for genuine
crop scare, and, with the weather con-
ditions as they are, damage tales will
multiply instead of diminish.
Statistics are, of course, just as favor
able for an advance as at any time re-
Gently; in fact more so. Visible stocks
are decreasing and the worlds stocks
are steadily diminishing. The worlds
shipments are running from 5000, 900
to 3, 500, 900 bushels below the weekly
requirements of the United Kingdom
and the continent, but for all that, for
eigners are not alarmed over the out
look. They are certainly not taking
the wheat from this country in such
quantities as one would expect under
the circumstances. Gables are merely
fractional in quoting changes on the
other side. Exports of wheat and flour
from both coasts for the week are 100,
900 bushels more than last week, and
exceed those for the same week in 1896
by about 5000 bushels. We have had
war scares of the opera bouffe order,
but war seems to be just as distant as
ever.
There has been fair amount of trad
ing in the corn n ,rket this week and
speculation has been brisker Wheat
no longer exerts much of an influence
upon values.
