Pie Plant In the Garden.

No vegetable responds more readily
= q minimum amount of cultivation
than rhubarb, and as it makes first
class substitute for fruit, it should be
much more extensively grown, espe-
cially in a country like this. where our
fruit resources are extremely limited,
says Northwestern Farmer. Two meth
DDS of starting bed of rhubarb may
be adopted, either by sowing the seed
OF planting roots. but the latter is much
preferable, for, except in rare in
stances. rhubarb will not come true to
type from seed; in fact, retrogression
In every feature is very apparent in
seeding rhubarb. If few old roots
IAN be obtained so much the better,
and these may be divided with a sharp
SPADE into as many pieces as there are
eyes. Care must be taken to ensure
the fact Of there being an eye or bud
to each root, as they will not grow If
this is missing. no matter how large
the root may be. Rhubarb is a par
ticularly heavy feeder, and this fact
must be taken into consideration when
preparing the land for planting. An
old piece Of garden, which has been
manured for q few years. will make an
excellent situation, If plowed deeply
and heavily MANFRED before planting.
Do not be afraid Of putting on too
much manure, for in this point lies the
main secret of successful rhubarb
growing. The plants should be set out
In rows five feet apart each way, care
being taken not to bury the crowns,
which should be about level with the
surface. Fail planting gives the most
satisfactory results, and a coating Of
well rotted manure spread on the bed
to the depth Of six inches every fall
win materially assist development. II
the above instructions are followed out
you will be surprised at the marvellous
growth Of your plot Of rhubarb. Never
allow the plants to run to seed. but on
the inst appearance Of flower spikes
remove them. q they greatly tend to
lessen the vigor. besides causing the
whole plant to become tough and in
sipid. Victoria and Linnaeus are pop
ulaF varieties on account Of their bright
color md excellent quality.

Spring or Fall Setting Of Trees
J. S. Triggin Usage Qowa) News: Ow-
ing to their ignorance in the matter
and the rascally Misrepresentation of
fruit tree agents. quite a number Of
our people in northern Iowa are in
duced to buy orchard trees for fall
planting. 1t may, be too late to pre-
vent the mischief for this year, still We
wish to repeat what We have hers4o-
fore said in these notes, that fall plant
ing of all kinds of trees, shrubs and
plants in this latitude is every way
Improbable. The spring is the sea-
son to plant, not the fall. this for the
reason that the stuff planted will not
this season, and rarely any season,
obtain sufficient moisture to preserve
its life until spring. One might Just

Farmers frequently make the mistake
of buying land adjoining and loading
themselves with debt which burdens
them all the best years of their lives.
says Drainage Journal. When the pur-
chase was made they had a few hun
dred dollars at command to make the
first payment, and from the day of the
purchase the deferred payments draw
interest, and, like an eating moth.
night and day it draws upon the life
and energy of those who burden them
selves in this way. II they had taken
the money with which they made the
first payment and applied it in the un-
derdrainage of the land which they
owned, the result would have been far
more gratifying. BY tile draining the
crop product could have been increased
from so to 100 per cent, which would
have added much each year to their in
come, so that in a few years they
might have had the money in hand to
buy the land desired, and at the same
time been free from the burdens OF
debt, and in every way better OF.
Flavor Demanded.-It is my impress
sion that butter making is on the verge
of a great change. for it is our duty to
study the wants of the American people
and those abroad, and there is no Ques-
ton but what they are very rapidly cul-
tivating a taste for fine favored butter
and are looking upon it more and more
as a necessary article Of food. To be-
come able to make such fine favored
article and overcome the defects which

to by returning our score cards marked
perfect on everything but flavor. and
that scored on from one to five points.

most difficult task in making butter is
to get a perfect flavor.-F. c. Oltiogse.
Drainage of Orchards.-One Of the
drawbacks to many Of the Willamette
vrune orchards Is lack of good drain
age. The result is immature wood, abb
normal conditions and stagnation Of

A few weeks ago a man brought .
schooner load of rutabagas. or Swedish
turnips. to the Sitka market. says the
Alaskan. These vegetables were grown
in Alaska on a farm near Killisnoo
perhaps the only farm worth the name
in the whole territory. From this
gentleman. Mr.. Hubbard. We gather
some interesting facts concerning this
novel farm. About two years age
Messrs. Baker and Hubbard took about
seventy-five or eighty acres Of tide
land about five miles from Killisnoo
They dyked this land at low tide to pre-.
vent the overflow of the sea water
and proceeded to till the ground. Few
men. McGinty like. would have CON
ceived the idea of going to the dot
tom of the sea- to locate a farm. but
this they have actually done, and they
have a bonanza. The ground Is rich
and productive, requiring no fertiliz-
ing or irrigation. True. their variety
Of products is limited, and their con.
venience to market not the best. blu:
certain it is they are not bothered BY
neighbors who borrow their farming
implements. for there is not anothe;
farm in 1000 miles of them. No dan.
ger Of their neighbors' stock trespass
ing upon their farm. and no quarrela
with neighbors over partition fences
In the rolling deep" lies their only
danger Of trespass, which occurred
once when the dyke burst. Last yeal
they raised 10000 bushels Of tubers
They are up with the times and have
silo, making sufficient silage to win
ter all their stock. We give this some
what minute description Of this Alas
kan farm. as it is matter Of informa-
ton to our readers to learn something
of the only farm in territory Of ST..
300 square miles.

Of the farmer to take up a much land

In France. according to authorities
who criticize Canadian agriculture
from this standpoint, the art OF fer
tilizing the soil is carried to such an
extent. that, in the case Of tenant
farming, the tenant usually reserves
the right to carry the surface Of the
soil OF his farm or garden away with
him on the expiration Of his lease.
This is the more practicable in that
communication. the usual smallness OF

that of ours, but are not. it is alleged,
