Sowing Rye After Turnips.

Turnips will continue to grow after
light frosts. and If the land Is filled
with weeds easily killed, the turnips
will sometimes make a more vigorous
growth in warm weather following
frost than they did before it. There
is a great deal of nitrogenouS plant food
in the soil late in the fall, and even the
turnips cannot save it all. Rye can be
sown, and will get some growth even
after the turnips have to be gathered.
1t is much better to have in the soil
over winter than it is to leave the soil
naked 1t is better for this purpose late
in the season than is crimson clover,
which will live, and by its growth then
help to dry out land that is too wet and
fit it for plowing.

pure water, Is practically indestructi-
bic. The more porous the tile is TIE
more easily will drainage water leach
through. Laid with porous tile, the
pipes may be closely fitted, and yet ef
fectually drain the land around them
The porosity of tile is easily increased
by mixing Sawdust with clay before the
latter is burned. The heat required to
harden the clay sufficiently for use
burns out the particles of sawdust, leay-
ing vacant place, and making the tile
much lighter while being even better
Tor use than that of solid clay. In max
Ing brick especially for use in buildings
the clay should be as little porous as
possible. Brick buildings >need paint
ing every year or two to prevent the
bricks from cracking, as they will when
sudden freeze occurs after a storm
beating against them has filled their
surfaces full of water.

Caring for Broom Corn.

The broom corn crop is of vast i'm
pOrtance and it is quite proper to give
some consideration as to how the crop
may be best cared for, says a writer.
Quality and condition control the value
Of broom corn as well as other COM
modities, and best condition can be es-
pecially obtained by following certain
rules and methods in caring for the
crop. Cutting should be done before
the corn is bleached out, as color is es-
sential, and when green the brush pos
sesses advantages both in attractive
ness and for working. When corn
should be, as soon as possible, hauled
under cover, and have the seeds remoy-
ed by running through the scraper This
done, it should be placed on shelves so
arranged as to admit of a free circula-
ton of air. In about ten days, If the
weather is dry ana all conditions are
favorable, the corn will be ready TO
bale 1t should be thoroughly exam
ined, however, to see that it is dry and
cured After the broom corn is thor
oughly dry the next step is to bale and
this operation should receive great care
and attention. There are too many
shaky and lop-sided bales received an
nually aud it bothers those who handle
them to keep them from falling apart.
1t being Of great Importance to keep
the ends of the bales square ana
smooth, the brush should be handed to
the packer in small lots, the butts Of
which, having been eyened by striking
down upon table or other smooth sur
face, and the one who places the brush
in the box Of the press should take care
to keep the butts Zip close against the
ends of the box and the brush properly
Tapped in the interior Use No. 8 fence
wire, five to the bale, and it is not a
bad idea to have a tighter wire to tie at
each corner, and press sufficiently to
have a good, compact, tight bale which
will endure the long journey and the
handling. No matter how carefully and
successfully every step in the produc-
tion of the brush has been performed,
the profit of the crop will depend, other
things equal, upon proper baling. Great
care and attention should be given to
having the seeds removed, there being
too much fraud practiced by baling up
trash. seeds and crooked corn in the
bales with straight brush. Bale the
crooked by itself.-Prairie Farmer.

1t is a fact without doubt that too
much talk about hard times helps to
make them worse A farmer who Is an
occasional caller at the Rural North
west, but never complains of hard
times. was asked the other day why it
was that he never had anything to say
on the subject. His reply was that it
could not do any good to complain
about the hard times, and if everybody
would keep ''stiff upper lip" and say
nothing about the matter times would
not seem half so hard and pretty soon
they would not be so hard. The COM
plainants' talk of hard times has a
great effect in preventing people from
engaging in new enterprises and pre-

A Suggestion for Farm Schools.

a SUGGESTION hOI La NChOOiS'
The agricultural college is undoubted-
iy the best place for young man to
learn the science Of farming, but there
are some who will not attend because
they think that the college is not prac-
ticaI enough Would it be practicable
for large farmers to establish farm
schools in connection with their farms?
They could employ young men who do
not wish to attend an agricultural col
lege, but who wish to learn the best
farm methods, have them work eight or
ten hours a day, the evenings to be EN-.
ployed in reading, studying and attend
ing lectures, the farmer to question
and instruct them in their studies; also
to give occasional lectures, supplement
ed by lectures by other capable men,
The young men, by having the advant.
age of such instruction. could afford
to work for less than ordinary wages;
they could thus get very good educa-
ton. while otherwise the evenings
would be spent in idleness. The farmer
would be benefited, too, because he
would get a good class of help and
could afford to spend some time in in
structing them because he would not
have to pay so high wages.-Exchange-
If there are no large farmers to ope.i
up such a school there are plenty Of
farmer boys in neighbOrhood who
could profit by such school, which
might be established by a number Of
topics and to impart practical knOwl-
edge in that line Where this is inn
practicable some competent instructor
could be hired at a small expense to
those attending.-RuralN New Yorker.

In few moments he had oysrtaken
the pencil.
This is what he read:
"My Dear Brother-Ycu will find this
note fastened on the outside of the door.
Please read it through to the end be-
fore you enter. Perhaps you will then
think it best not to enter alone.
David, my brother, these words
come to you from the dead. l have de-
stroyed the pitiful fragment OF life
which fate left me. You were wont to
be so strong and brave--can you read
on calmly now, and try to understand
me when l tell you my reason? Can
you love me and trust me as you always
have done? l believe that you can and
will, and that is why l have dared to
take this step.
Several days ago l procured some
poison which 1 have kept concealed
from you. Through it death comes
swift but painless"
David watched the slow, laborlous
making of the last few words, anc 1t
gave him time to think. Where was
the poison? He glanced across the room
to a chest of drawers. There was
small drawer at the top which Allan
had used exclusively, and which was
now half open. With noiseless step,
the younger brother crept over the floor
to this chest of drawers. The guess
was correct Hidden. under some
handkerchiefs lay small vial, filled
with a colorleSs fluid.
