The work that some of the expert
ment stations are doing in relation "
soil investigation should be susges-
ton to the general farmer to undcr-
take, on small scale, similar WORK
The stations have found that even ON
the same farm soil differs greatly as
to its adaptability to tho growth Oh
different plants. At some stations
ground has been set aside for the ap-
plication Of certain kinds OF fertilizers
and other dressings, such as line anu
plaster. The applications OF some
kinds of dressings make the land pet-
fer adapted for some kinds OF plants,
but less so for others. To Illustrate
the application OF lime in one place
had just the opposite effect on Two
kinds If plants that might be thought
to be so closely allied that the same
treatment would be beneficial or inJur-
ious to both. The plants referred 10
were muskmelons and watermelons.
The muskmelons were greatly benefit
ed by the application Of lime, and the
watermeions injured.
A lesson can be drawn from this fact,
namely, that when piece OF land Is
to be used for growing muskmelons II
must receive a system or treatment
that will make it very poor land Tor
watermelons, and the same applies TO
a great many other plants. There are
few plants that will do we'll on all
Snds of even rich land. 1t would
be a good plan for the farmer to set
aside certain piece of land for the
test of varieties of plants. Only in
this way can he arrive at the needs
of all his plants, and the right method
of treatment of each. This in part
explains the greater ease of specific
farming over general farming, the
farmer that has one crop finding it
easier to learn the requirements Of
that crop on his own land.

Fruits are of great value in many
forms of disease, says Modern Medicine,
because of the acids which they con-
tain. These acids, when taken into the
blood, break up some Of the compounds
of waste substances which have been
formed, and thus give rise to an In
creased excretion of these substances
through the kidneys. In this way fruits
are a great advantage in the treatment
of rheumatism, govt, gravel and all the
different morbid conditions which ac-
company the so-called uric-acid diathe-
sis. The observation Of Haig respect
ing the relation Of uric-acid to neuras-
thenia give to fruit great dletetic
value in this disease. He has SHOWN
that neurasthenia is almost always the
result of the accumulation within the
system of tissue wastes largely in the
form of uric-acid. The free use of fruits
aids in the elimination Of these polsons'
not only by breaking up the com
pounds, which they form within the
body, but by stimulating the kidneys
to increase formal activity.
Remembering the interesting facts
pointed out by Bouchard, that rheuma-
tisn is really toxemia, resulting from
the decomposition of food stuffs in d.
lated or prolapsed stomach, we may
also attribute the beneficial effects OF a
fruit diet in rheumatism and allied con-
ditions to its value in suppressing the
formation OF poisonous substances IN
the alimentary canal in the manner al
ready pointed out.
Obesity, which is. like rheumatism, a
diathesis, may be successfully treated
by a fruit dietary. This Is due not only
to the fact that fruit is a natural FOOD
and thus aids the system to establish
normal tissue metamorphosis and a
normal balance between the processes
of assimilation and disassimilatloh'
but also because 1t affords a very com
Portable means of reducing the amount
of nutrient received to minimn"
quality.

When we came into possession OF our
present home, the side yard sloped pre-
cautiously toward the east and was
flooded with water during every rain
fall. SAYS a writer in Vick's Monthly.
Not wishing to have the expense OF
grading we began filling the lower side
with coal ashes and few winters sur
feed to remedy these evils, but tradl-
ton said, "You cannot raise flowers IN
ashes" therefore we fought the weeds
which we found would grow there, and
tried to be patient. This spring we de-
termined to try at least few OF the
hardest flowers and results have been
such that / think they will be OF In
terest to others. In March the ashes
were thoroughly raked and rolled. On
one side we dug a trench for sweet
meas. about sixteen feet in length, in
this we planted sweet pea collection.
The weather being very cold, they did
not gcrminate until late in April, ana
as soon as they were well started we
drew the ashes down about them, I'LL
ing the trench. Once week they were
watered with liquid fertilizer, and July
LIST they reached nearly to the top Of
their poultry netting support (siX feet
and were covered with buds and BIOS
SONS. A row of nasturtiums was equal
ly fortunate and bore more flowers
throughout the summer than those
planted in proper garden soil. Dahlias
were another success, bulbs planted in
ashes and we'll watered daily outstr'p-
ping those in rich loan and bearing
more and handsomer flowers than we
had ever before raised. We have tried
several other varieties but cannot yet
speak positively as to results, although
the plants are growing well. Glover
sown in May caught well and walking
over its green, luxuriant surface you
would not dream that beneath lay sew
eral feet of coal ashes.

The secret of producing choice bacon
lies in the feed trough. If any one
doubts this, let him put two Poland
China, Berkshire, Chester-White, Du-
roc Jersey or any Of our recognized
breeds Of hogs in two different pens,
feed one all the corn he can eat until
fat, and the other boiled potatoes,
milk, barley or wheat ground fine and
some peameal until fat the old coun-
try way. Kill both, put In dry salt
for six or seven weeks, then take out
and wash and hang it up in the kitchen
or drying house until thoroughly
dried, then cut off a good big chunk
and boil it, let it stand till cold, then
cut off few slices and you will see
the corn fed meat is not so firm, is
more oily and not so many streaks OF
lean as meat fed on barley, potatoes,
milk, ETC., and this is all the differ
ence you or any one else can detect

Making Cider Vinegar.

The Virginia experiment station has
been conducting some experiments to
determine if it be feasible for the or
binary farmer to attempt to ferment
his own vinegar. AS is known by
most of our readers, the old way OF
making cider vinegar is to allow the
cider to stand in barrels for from one
to two years before using it. The
more recent plan is to run 1t over
shavings in a moderate heat. By this
means fermentation progresses rapid
ly and the cider is soon changed into
commercial vinegar. In the case Of
the Virginia experiments the general
ors useG consisted Of 4x8-foot wood
en- tank filled with beech shavings.
The tank was provided with holes near
the bottom for the admission Of air,
and fitted one foot from the top with
a wooden disc, perforated to allow the
entrance Of the cider, which was dis
tributed evenly over it by means of a

the farm. Many reason that there IN
no money in keeping the farm neat,
no cash in carefully keeping the barn
yard, and that there is no time for
these matters. Such reckon at ran
dom. Pleasant surroundings do very
materially aid us to do better work;
man succumbs to such influences un-
consciously. The farmer with neat
premises will have better crops, better
stock and get more enjoyment out Of
life. A man who justly appreciated
the commercial value of a neat, we'll
kept farm. made many dollars buying
farms, that the owners had neglected,
at low prices, making them attractive
and selling them for more than was
paid. The repairs were made at .
small cost Of money, the outlay being
most judicious labor and taste. The
great trouble is that farmers try to
care for more land than one man can
possibly attend to properly, hoping
thereby to increase his income. The
harvest many times is disappointing
and discouragment follows, but, un-
fortunately. the difficulty is not placed
on the right scale. Farming. as all
other vacations, gives us returns in
proportion to the kind of labor ex-
pended. Attention given to those SEEM
ingly trivial matters will give larger
returns than is anticipated, and nature
will aid US to beautify the farm home.
and wherever the sons and daughters
go this charming spot will be fondly
cherished, whereas, now, too many re-
member the farm home as a wilderness
Of weeds and brush.
