Potash in the Orchard.

All fruit growers know that potash
in large amounts is necessary for bear
ing fruit trees. But they are very likely
to delay its application until late in
spring or sometimes until midsummer,
when the young fruit is fast falling
from the trees for lack of the material
to form its seeds. Then it is too late
for the potash to do any good that sea-
son, or there is seldom rain enough
after midsummer to dissolve the potash
and carry it within reach OF the tree
roots. The proper time to apply any
kind OF fertilizer to All orchard is in the
winter. Then the melting snow and
spring rains carry its soluble portions
into the SOIL There is in every direc-
ton from vigorous tree such net
work of roots that there is no possibili-
ty of the fertilizer being washed away
through the soil without being at some
point taken up and brought into the
trees. It is best not to use much stable
manure OH orchards. 1t promotes
large wood growth. but it is also likely
to breed fungous diseases, which grow
vigorously in the excess OF sap in trees
that have too much heterogeneous and
little mineral fertilizer. The pear es
uecially needs to be mainly fertilized
with mineral manures, as these last
will not cause blight, but will tend
rather to prevent it by promoting
healthy foliage.-Journal of Agricul-
ture.

Keep In The Lead.

The right use of the plough. the sub
soiler, the roller, the drag and the har-
row is one Of the fine problems of the
farm. Intelligent practice upon all
these points must vary according to To-
cality and season. And after all we do
not mean to convey the idea that it is
ever possible for the farmer to know
absolutely the right thing to do, but a
keen and intelligent observation will
tell him about what is right nine times
out of ten, and that is quite leverage
upon ordinary farm practice. The far
mer ought always to keep this fact in
view, that sure prosperity is ever await
ing the man who is a notch ahead of
the rank and file Of his fellows in his
everyday practice. Don't be discour-
aged because Nature has seemed to
turn her hands to aid in the production
of one of the biggest crops on record
last year, causing prices to dwindle
down to almost nothing. 1t may not
be SO another year. Perhaps you will
have to work for every ear of corn you
get. Try to be prepared for any condi-
tons, favorable or unfavorable, and
| make the most of them.-Nebraska
Farmer.

The Bubonic Plague.

According to the New York Tribune
the terrible plague now raging in Bonn
bay, and, in lesser degree, in other
parts of India, is called the "bubonic
fever" or "bubonic plague" from its
characteristic symptom of suppurating
Emphatic glands. 1t resembles typhus
fever, and is dependent upon poison
Gus conditions of the atmosphere or the
surrounding premises. The first APP
,pearance in Europe of its counterpart,
the black death, was at Constantinople,
in 544; the last was in the provinces on
the Volga in 1878. 1t is estimated that
in Europe alone 25,OOO,OOO have died
from this plague. During the great
outburst of the disease in the four
teenth century, more than $4,000, 900
are said to have died in China, and the
deaths in the rest of Asia were reported
to have numbered nearly "a, OO0,O 900. In
many places in France, according to
DIR. Hecker, not more than two people
out of twenty were left alive. Italy
lost half her population, and in Lon
don there were at least 100000 victims.
People didn't know much about SAM

All farmers are not prosperous even in
prosperous times, neither are all men
prosperous in other lines of business.
It is stated on good authority that over
80 per cent of the men who engage in
business make a failure. Failures
among farmers are exceptional and
not the rule.
Between 1880 and 1890 the increase
in the aggregate valuation of farm
lands was little over 80 per cent, and
the estimated increase in the aggregate
valuation of farm products was q frac-
ton over IL per cent. The increase in
tenant farms during the same period
was little less than per cent.
A little over one-third of the farm
valuation is incumbered, and the in
cumbrance amounts to 1855 per cent
of the valuation of the incumbered
farms. The incumbrance on city in
numbered homes amounts to about 40
per cent of their valuation. Over ~
per cent of the farms and homes of this
country are unincumbered, and the
incumbrance on the remainder isabout
IS per cent of the valuation.
All of the tangible wealth of the
United States amounts to a little over
sixty-five billions of dollars. The value
of all the farms of the United States is
a little over thirteen and half billions
of dollars, and value of implements
and stock is over two and a half bill
ions, making total valuation of all
farm property over eighteen billions,
or considerably more than one-fourth
of all the wealth of this country.

DAIRY NOTES.

The best profit from dairying comes
from the manufacture OF gllt-edgeu
butter for private customers. Make
this your aim.
It is estimated that the milk from
5000, 900 cows is annually consumed as
milk in the United States-an average
of twenty-five and one-half gallons per
year to each person.
No other branch of farming will so
stand being made thing of secondary
interest as the dairy. A very little
neglect will go a long way toward
destroying the profit. Neglect is sure
to attend that which is not OF q f1rst
consideration.
Don't milk wet teat; if dirty, wash
it and dry it. Keep clean sponge
and pail and clean towel in the stable
for this purpose only. Also keep q
wash dish and towel for washing and
driving the hands before milking

How To Plant Bulbs.

AS soon as the land is in good work
ing condition, lay out bed to 6 feet
wide, and of length to suit, and then
make path feet wide on each side
and across the ends. Excavate the soil
one spade deep in these paths, throwing
the soil on to the bed to be planted to
bulbs. Grade or level this off and then
spread thereon to 6 inches of the best
OLD and rotten, COW manure Obtainable.
Ii you can not get the rotten kind, put
on the best you can get, but do not use
horse manure as it is not good. In the
absence of COW manure, put on inches
of well decayed leaf mould and inches
of hen manure. Now spade this over,
first placing stakes at corners and along
the sides, and then rake down level, re-
moving all stones and hard Jumps as
you do this. Now plant your bed with
early potatoes giving them plenty of
room. Stir the ground once a week,
shallow, with four prong potato fork
or hoe, but do not hill them up. Keep
land mellow and in good condition UNI
til after blooming. Dig as early in Sep
TENDER as possible and cover bed again
with a inch layer of old manure.
Spade foot deep, rake down fine and
the bed is then ready for planting your
Towering bulbs. You now have the
land in condition to insure you three
good crops ofbeautiful blooms that will
be pleasure to yourself and family.
The beds should be raised about ten
inches above the paths and an outlet
provided for any water that may ac-
cumulate about them at any time dur
ing our winter rains; this is imperative,
as standing water is certain death to
winter growing bulbs. Planting will
commence September LIST, with the ex-
ception of the Candideun Lily, and
this variety must be planted from the
first to the fifteenth of August. will
tell you how to prepare home for this
beautiful and hardy lily in my next.
