hain't no better neighbor in til county. ="
It was Farmer Waddy that was doing
the talking, and the squire of the town
ship only interrupted to ask whether the
farmer had ever missed any chickens or
shotes before Hank settled in the vicin-
ity.
.'No, I never did, y admitted Waddy,
"but / never lest nuthin of tn kind
afore you got that new man of yours
I'd trust Hank Suffer with my life,
squire .
Don't be too confidin, . insisted the
squire. Many tn apple I've seen that
looked perfec' ON tn outside, but was
rotten at tn core. Hank seems all right,
but wouldn' t be surprised no day to
see him fetched up afore me. Things
hain't right in this communerty since
he jined it. /"
.sThat's SO, but there's a million
things happened outside of Hanks
comm. His folks couldn't eat all tn
things what's stole, an he don't sell
nuthin "
'sWatch him, insisted the squire.
And he took his leave with fine imi-
tation Of the man who looks after the
morals of the entire neighborhood.
Farmer Waddy did watch, and he
hired others TO help him watch. If this
were fiction, it would be the squire or
his new man who was trapped. But
truth is an exacting mistress. It was a
worthless fellow living in a log hermit
tage that was doing all the stealing. It
hasn't the slightest bearing on the case
that he was selling all the plumber to
the squire at half price.-Detroit Free

Getting Rid of Tree stumps.

In many gardens where large trees
blow down or fall in some other way
tree stumps become serious inconven-
ience, and the question often arises as
to how best to remove them. A writer
tells in Mechanic Monthly that he re-
Gently saw Of this kind in which
augur holes were being made and gun
powder used to blow the huge stump
into fragments. In many cases this is
not desirable practice. 1t is not diff
cult to get rid of the stump by first
chopping off some of the long roots with
an ak and then digging deep hole near
and with a lever rolling the stump into
the hole, thus burying it. Tt is by no
means costly way Of getting rid of an
expensive trouble. Many tough job
may be lightened by little forethought.

Much Depends on the Soil and Much Also
on the Fertilizer.
A Michigan farmer, in a long letter
to Country Gentleman, tells of his ex-
perience for years with commercial fer
tilizers. He writes that he has sometimes
seen good results and sometimes not
He explains as follows:
/ believe commercial fertilizers, as a
rule, are more appropriately applied to
light soil than to heavy. One place
where have seen best results from the
use of commercial fertilizers is in the
garden. The sweet corn never grows
quite so rank and thrifty as when under
this influence. The peas, beans, radishes
and cucumbers all grow to rival Jack s
beanstalk. while my very best success
with watermelons is directly traceable
to them, literally applied. There is no
doubt but that far greater yields might
be obtained by more thorough tillage.
Clover, could we get it, gives us an
almost ideal fertilizer, provided the
proper rotation is followed. Green ma
nure furnishes a most excellent ferti-
lizer. The state of preservation has much
to do with the value of barnyard ma
nure. That allowed to become leached
by rains or fire fanged" is worth much
less than that well taken care of. The
liquids, which are usually wasted to a
greater or less degree, are really more
valuable than the solids. Manure from
COWS is richer than that from horses OF
hogs, while that from sheep is superior
to any of these.
The concentrated form of the ferti-
lizer makes it much easier of application
than is the barnyard manure. On farm
of large size or where the buildings are
not centrally located the cost of haul
ing and spreading the latter is not less
than S. per acre if thoroughly done.
This So per acre, which is the actual
cost to me i'll getting out my barnyard
manure, would buy fertilizers in album
dance for the crop to be grown, and that
of the best varieties. Yet / would not
have any one think that do not appre-
ciate the value Of stable manure. Every
bit is carefully utilized and considerable
commercial fertilizers purchased be
sides.
/ do not believe there is any such
thing as complete manure for all kinds
of soil
believe i'll using commercial ferti-
lizers in addition to barnyard manure,
for there are few farms where there is
enough of the latter. believe in green
manuring. | believe in tillage.

IMPROVED BEEkEEPINe.
In Methods and Appliance
within the last Half Century.

Advancement In Methods and Appliances
within the Last Half Century.
In 1852 the movable comb hive was
given to the public. and that was great
leap in advance. Itallowed the beekeep-
er to examine infinitely just what was
going on in the hive, and in many cases
to apply the remedy where there was
trouble.
AT one time honey was obtained by
sinothering the bees with birthstone, then
cutting out the combs, selecting some
Of the best that contained nothing but
honey making grand mash of the rest
and straining out the honey, more or
less favored with bee bread and dead
bees. As great improvement boxes
were put ON top Of the hive, allowing
the honey to be taken away without
killing the bees
Then the honey extractor was invent
ed, by which the honey could be thrown
from the combs, leaving the latter I'M
injured to be returned to the hive for
refilling. Even il the comb was partly
filed with eggs and partly developed
bees, the honey could be thrown out
without disturbing the baby bees 1t is,
however, better to extract honey only
from those combs which contain no
brood. Still later section boxes came on
the stage, in which a shapely cake Of
honey took the place of the irregular
combs to be found in the surplus boxes
that held from 8 to % pounds Sepa-
rators were invented to force. the bees
to build their combs straight. Along
with this came the use of comb founda-
tion, for without foundation it would
be very difficult thing to get the bees
to build straight combs in the sections.
Not only was the invention of comb
foundation great aid in securing beau
tiful surplus honey, but it was a great
help in the brood chamber The frames
could be filled with foundation having
imprinted on it the base Of cells just the
right size for worker brood, making it
impossible for the colony to rear large
horde Of useless consumers in the shape
of drones.
Some think that the age of improve
ments in bee culture is about over, the
summit having been reached. But a
progressive apiarist, writing from ILL
nois to The National Stockman and
Farmer, tells in addition to the forego-
ing that it is now confidently expected
that instead of foundation having little
more than the septum or middle wall,

The Fest Salad Plants.

According to a bulletin issued from
the Vermont station, the best salad
plants for general culture in this coun-
try are garden cress, white mustard and
corn salad in the order named. Garden
cress may be sown in any soil at any
season, between severe frosts, and will
give plants lit for the table within three
or four weeks. As it runs to seed quick
" successional sowings are necessary at
intervals Of 10 to IA days III hot wealth

Corn salad is but little known here. It
will stand considerable freezing and may
be sown in the fall.

News and Notes.

Electricity on farms has passed the
experimental stage in Germany
It's believed that prices of horses will
advance in the near future
satisfactory remedy has been found
for the worms that infest the cigars and
smoking tobacco.
A simple safeguard against scab is
soaking the cut tubers from u to 8
hours in from 2 to ~ ounces corrosive
sublimate to Is gallons Of water.
At theexperiment stations home grown
seed potatoes generally gave slightly
better results than seed from abroad,
and at the southern stations the differ
ence in favor of home grown seed was
very marked.

Japan Millets.

The Japanese millets which have been
grown in this country are large and
coarse. Several varieties, tested at the
Massachusetts (Hatch) experiment. sta
ton, grew to the height of or 6
feet, and when ripe yielded at the rate
of 20 to 81 bushels of seed and 2 to 61a
tons of straw. The seed represented the
total value as cattle food, for the
straw was too coarse and unpalatable to
be acceptable to animals. If these varie-
ties can ever be made useful for hay, it
must be by sowing very thickly and cut
ting when very green and somewhat i'm
mature. Country Gentleman, authority
for the foregoing, advises those who de-
sire to test these millets to save only a
small area as a trial crop.

At tha Rhnde Island slation.

The growth of clover upon the plots
which had received no nitrogen in any
form, at least for five and probably for
dozen years, was nearly if not quite
as good as upon those which had re-
ceived large annual application for
five consecutive years. a result decided
ly in contrast to those secured with In
dian corn and oats upon the same plots.
The injury liable to result to clover
crop owing to the smothering of the
young plants by the lodging of the &C
companying grain crop, the necessity
for thin seeding and care not to employ
too much nitrogen in such cases is
pointedly illustrated.
It appears probable that the chief
value of lime in eradicating sorrel is
attributable to the fact that it brings
about physical and chemical soil condi-
lions, one or the other or both of which
are SO highly favorable to the growth
Of clover and many other agricultural
plants that they are able to occupy the
land, thereby preventing sorrel from
gaining foothold.
