Rye Among Small Fruits.


We have never grown rye among our
fruits, either as green carpet during
the picking season, or as a cover and
protection for Outlying during winter
or in the early spring. However, 1
think it would be less Objectionable for
winter than early summer covering
OF the ground in a berry or vineyard,
for the following reasons: With moist
ure and warmth, rye makes rapid
growth, and exhausts the moisture in
the soil rapidly. The raspberry, cur
rant and bush fruits generally need all
the moisture available when perfecting
or ripening their fruit. This we en-
deavor to conserve by frequent shallow
culture Rye, unlike the clovers, draws
it's nutriment wholly from the soil, and
in this case, will be absorbing plant
food that is needed by the fruit at a
critical period. For good results with
raspberries or other bush fruits, we
would prefer mulching with coarse
manure after the hills have been
cleared Of grass and weeds in the early
spring, and then keeping the surface
mellow between the rows until the
fruit is ripe. Again, rye sown among
fruits at the time named would have
made strong, coarse growth in the
fruit row, at the close of the picking
season, and it would be difficult and
expensive to clean a field from it. For
these reasons l would not like to try
the eXperiment.-W. D. B., in Rural
New Yorker.

Mushrooms in Barn Cellars.


Mushrooms are most generally
grown in darkened rooms, and If un-
derground where the temperature can
be easily regulated it will be all the
better When they are grown out OF
doors the mushrooms always spring
UP in the night or on cloudy days. A
bright sunlight checks their growth,
and if it is warm enough the mush-
rooms will soon be filled with worms.
In underground cellars there is
less danger of this. Barn Easements
are excellent for growing mushrooms,
and if a stove can be put in to- regulate
the temperature in the coolest weather
mushrooms can lbe grown in winter
more profitably than at any other sea-
sen. The heat from the manure pile
over which the bed must be MADE will
be enough when the temperature Is
mild. In most deep barn Easements
very Little fire heat will be needed.
The price of mushrooms is al
ways high in winter, and barn base
ment makes a better place to grow
them than in most of the greenhouses
above ground which market gardeners
commonly use for this purpose

The Scythe.

The scythe on many farms has been
hung up too long. The mower has
taken it's place, in many instances to a
greater extent than it should. The
scythe will always be kept In useful
condition ON all well-regulated farms.
1t has missions to perform every sea-
son that no other implement can COM
pete with. Around the house, the out
buildings, the fence corners, the road
sides, the borders Of the lanes, in the
orchard and many other places the
scythe will find plenty of work to do in
keeping down the weeds, and in that
way getting rid of them, and at the
same time tidying up things. On we'll
regulated farms, ON days when it is
too wet to do other work. may often
be heard the characteristic clink-clank
of the milestone on the scythe blade.
Too many farmers neglect to make
use of the scythe and the hoe, and
when they do, it is real reflection on
their methods of farming. Exchange.

To learn that the child is safe
is source of rejoicing, not

created much interest ana large

a Pleasant Surprise.

A very pleasant party was had
at the home of Mrs. S. McCol-
lum last Thursday afternoon
when the ladies aid society and
other friends to the number OF
about fifty quietly stepped in
and took possession Of the house
inviting Mrs. McCollum to spend
the afternoon with them. The
occasion was the anniversary OF
this lady's birthday and the
friends thought to give her
little surprise which they sue,
ceeded in doing. About three
o'clock the party started from
the home Of Mrs. Mclean where
they had gathered and marched
to the McCollum home, each
taking a basket well filled as her
portion Of the refreshments.
When the proper time arrived
Mrs. Williams, the pastor S wife,
presented Mrs. McCollum with
a very beautiful fruit dish in be-
half of the party. Several pri.
vate tokens were also presented
during the afternoon. AS even
ingtide approached, the friends
departed for their several homes
wishing their hostess many
pleasant returns of this anniver.

A Few More Leap Years.
In Eight Hundred Years the Ladies Will
Lose Their Day.

''In time leap year will go out of
existence" explained an almanac
computer to the Washington Star,
"but as it will not occur for over 500
years, we haven't much personal inter-
est in the event. In the ordinary
course of events 1900 would be leap
year, but it will get left in the calcula-
tion. In other words, while it does
occur, in does not occur, simply be-
cause it is not in the. agreement that
it shall occur. The STORY is long
one, but it can be briefly told so that
the average person can understand it
without much difficulty.
"In 1882, in the arrangement OF
the Julian calendar, ten years were
dropped so as to get things running
on the then new but the present
basis of calculating time. So as to
keep things running right, it was de-
termined that year ending century
should not be bi-sextile, except every
fourth century. Thus there was no
leap year in 1900, 1900 nor 1900. 1t
is, or at least was, rather rough on
the ladies, who have special advan-
tages in leap year, for it is the only
year that it is proper for them to pro-
pose themselves in marriage, but as it
has always been so in matters con-
cerning womankind, men always find
reasons for restricting their privileges.
The ladies get left again in 1900, but
though there will notbe many of those
who see 1900 who will see 1000, the
latter year, ending a fourth century,
will be leap year. In this way three
days are retrenched in four centuries,
and the remaining seven days will be
made up in a little over 500 years.
After that calendar years will be like
solor years, and future errors in the
calculation of time will occur no more
"The loss of leap year will in thou.
sands of years affect the seasons, but
l suppose the mathematicians of the
centuries hence will be so flip in hand
ling figures and making calculations
that they will have no difficulty in
keeping things going correctly"

4 sTalKE IN PHARAoH,s TIME. I,
Wor'SInen Had Their Grievances Then as
Now.


Now.
The earliest strike occurred about
1850 B. C, or upward of thirty-three
centuries ago. Pharaoh was building
q new temple of Thebes. The masons
received very little cash, but quan-
uty of provisions, which the contractor
thought sufficient, was handed to them
on the first day of each month. Suffi-
fient or not, they mostly ate it before
the time had elapsed. On one occas-
Ion many of them had nothing left
quite early in the month, SO they
marched to the contractors house, be-
fore which they squatted and refused
to bulge until justice was done. The
contractor persuaded them to lay their
distress before Pharaoh, who was
about to visit the works, and he gave
them handsome supply of corn, and
so all went on well for that month.
But the same state of things recurred
by the middle of the next, and for
some days the men struck work. Var1-
Gus conferences took place, but the
men declined to do a stroke until they
We're given another supply of food.
They declared the clerks cheated them,
used false weights, and so forth, famil-
lar enough complaints in this country
under the truck system. The con.
tractor not complying with their de-
mands they marched to the governor
Of the city to lay their grievances be-
fore him, and he tried to get them to
return to work by smooth words, but
that was no use, and they insisted on
having food At last, to get rid of
them, he drew up an order for corn
on che public granary, and the strike
was at an end.-St. Louis Republican.
