Rotation or Crops.

It is not alone because it is ex-
haustive that successive growing OF
one crop on the same land is bad
practice. 1t is precisely the way to
breed insects or fungous diseases,
or to extend the growth of noxious
weeds. There is not much successive
cropping anywhere now. The value
of rotation so as to increase soil
productiveness is better understood.
Yet when settlers go to a new coun-
try they almost always crop soil
that has virgin fertility with the
crop that pays best, which is repeat
ed until the crop begins to fail.
Almost always the settlers on new
land are poor. There are so many
disadvantages in removing to the
outskirts of civilization that only
those go who have not the money
required to buy farms anywhere
else.-American Cultiuotor.

The Best Celery.

Good celery-or we may say first
class celery-cannot be obtained
without an abundance of water, for
the plant is naturally citizen OF
swamps. 1t is always best, there
for, to set the plants in shallow
bitches, so that water can be more
easily collected; and it is also very
fond of high living, consequently
no well prepared manure is too rich
for it. The quality of market eel
cry has fallen off somewhat of late
years, chiefly through the cult
vators treating it to surface culture.
When planted in the latter way
there is not the same advantage for
blanching as when set in trenches.
1t is much easier to let down earth
than it is to raise it.

Angora Goats.

In Oregon the Angora goat in
dustry is growing in favor. Recent
ly a buyer travelled through several
counties trying to buy stock ami
mails for his range, but found own
ers too well pleased with their ex-
perience to sell off any of their
stock. A writer to Rural North
west says that the flesh, when
placed on the market as mutton,
sells readily and buyers return call
ing for mutton like that / got be-
fore" The wethers can be profit
ably kept until 9 or 10 years old
for their fleece. From Bradford it
is reported that mohair spinners
are very busy and the demand is
strong. Stocks at present are very
light. Prices are: For turkey,
average, 33c; cape first, 31c per
pound.

Fertilizer for TurniDs.

1t was long ago the discovery of
English farmers that bone manure,
as they called lime phosphate, was
good for the turnip crop. This was
often fed on the land where grown,
and the field thus fertilized with
the sheep droppings was afterward
sown with wheat or other grain.
Usually sheep given turnip patch
to feed down where well fed with
grain or linseed meal, which made
much richer manure than turnips
would do.

8eOurs I'm Calves.

One of the causes of scours in
calves is that of compelling them
TO drink milk that is cold. A tenn
perature,o of 100 degrees is about COR
rect for the milk, and it should not
only be fresh, but the vessels used
should be clean, as any portion left
over from previous feelings may do
harm.

Milk for Calves and PIGS.

When you get separator knock
to pieces every swill barrel on the
farm. Feed the calves and pigs as
soon as the milk is separated. The
milking and feeding is soon done,
and there is no after handling Of
the milk. The stock gets the milk
sweet, warm and regularly, which
is all in the line of advantage.

FOR THE FARMER.


ing fruit trees.
The Peach will thrive best grated
on plum stock.
Mulch the strawberries as soon as
the ground freezes.
Few kinds of fruit are easier
grown than the cherry.
Paris green is the best remedy for
the rose slug on rose bushes.
Orchard grass and clover are good
for seeding down an orchard.
Black knot is a fcngous growth.
Cut off and burn all affected branch
Dipping or submerging is the best
remedy for the red spider on house
plants.
Red raspberries are the sweetest.
The plants increase by suckers or
sprints.
Having good garden depends
largely upon having large ma
nure pile.
While quality is what the buyers
prefer, appearance in fruit is a
great factor.
An orchard should never be plow-
ed deep on account of the injury to
the roots of the trees.
Never prune tree unless there is
a good reason why the limb or
branch should be taken off.
That tree does not bear a good
crop of fruit every year is not an
indication that it is diseased.
There is nothing that will tend
TO the development of roots as bone
and ashes mixed with muck.
The ounce is one Of the best ship
ping fruits that can be grown. 1t
is easily propagated by cutting.
To prevent sheep from gnawing
trees apply wash of whale oil,
soap, sheep droppings and lime.
Thoroughly whitewashing the
trunks of trees destroys lichens, in
sects and pests that live on the bark.
One of the most serious objections
to continual mulching is that it
tends to encourage shallow roofing.
One advantage of rolling ground
as location for the orchard is that
it gives a better circulation of air.
Set each tree with care, placing it
in rich soil, and packing fine, mel
low soil thoroughly in around the
roots.
The safe plan is to 60 to work
growing an orchard the same as
you would go to work to grow any
other crop.
Blighted leaves or branches on
the fruit trees should be cut off at
once and burned to prevent the dis
ease spreading.
Hoed crops are good to grow in
an orchard, provided they are kept
clear of weeds and thorough cult
walton is given.
By gathering up and burning the
dead leaves, branches and rubbish
in the orchard, insects and fungous
diseases are held in check.
The careful planter will see to it
that there is as little exposure of
the roots as possible between the
time of taking up and planting out
In pruning roses, cutting back
closely produces as a rule fewer
blooms, while bushes rot so closely
pruned will yield smaller blooms.
When trees are received late in
the Fall, in many cares it will pay
to hold them in carefully rather
than to risk setting them out 30 late
in the season.
To give trees a long lease of life,
select those of strong condition,
plant them in a deep, rich, we'll.

According to proposition made before

soon to see two of her counties in court
over the small matter of 1896. Ashland
county has found it's treasury empty or
even worse, for $495 is due to this county
on the expense account of cases tried in
Appleton on Q change of venue. The bill
has been approved and the Outagamie
county treasurer holds an order for the
prospective job for a collection agency.
The treasurer has been unable to collect
the bill and District Attorney Bottensek,
after finding that orders on the Ashland
county treasury are selling at so cents,
recommended that the order for 1896 be
sold if possible. If this is not done the
county is to commence suit against the
northern county and get judgment. The
board will decide on the proposition to-
morrow.

Sunshine and Disease.

1t is rather surprising to be told that
sunshine as not always q promoter OF
health, and that London fog may be a
blessing in disguise. In experiments by
De Renzi guinea pigs inoculated with
tuberculosis died after "a to 80 days
when kept in glass boxes in the sun
shine, but survived only 20 to Al days
in opaque wooden boxes, This makes it
evident that sunshine is a material aid
in combating consumption. In a later
investigation by DR.. Masella, however,
guinea pigs were ~inoculated with cbol-
era and typhoid bacilli respectively,
when it was found that previous expos
ure to sunshine increased the suscepti-
bility to both diseases, while exposure

% "Tbree Estates of the Realm,


Fof all practical purposes there were
only two estates in the English parlia-
'uent, lords and commons. Thus the
phrase of the three estates, which had a
meaning in France, became meaning
less in England. For centuries past there
has been no separate estate of the cler-
gy; some of their highest members
have belonged to the estate of the lords
and the rest to the estate of the COM
mons. Hence has arisen a common but
not unnatural misconception, as old as
the long parliament, as to the meaning
of the three estates.
Men constantly use those words as if
they meant the three elements among
which the legislative power is divided,
king, lords and commons. But an estate
means a rank, an order or class of men.
like the lords, the clergy o the COM
mons. The king is not al estate, be-
cause there is no class or order of kings,
the king being one person alone by him
self. The proper phrase is the king and
the three estates of the realm. But in
England, as I have already shown, the
phrase is meaningless, as we have, in
truth, two estates only."-E. A. Free
