MATCHES MADE OF PAPER.-The
number of matches consumed yearly
can hardly be realized. Forests have
been literally cut into match.sticks
and the demand is growing faster than
the supply of trees. So the idea Of
paper as a substitute is one that com
mends itself to all practical minds
An authority on the subject says:
The new matches are considerably
cheaper than the wooden product, and
weigh less, which counts for much in
expectation.
The sticks of the matches consist oi
paper rolled together on the bias. The
paper is rather strong and porous,
and when immersed in u solution oI
wax, sticks we'll together, and burns

CoMPETITIoN.-The farmer who
does not believe that farming pays
can always find other farmers who
make profit. The real drawback to
farming is competition, which the
farmer must meet as well as the trades
man. The competitor Of the farmer
is some other farmer who IS more pro-
gressive than he. No farmer who
keeps COWS that produce, only :
pounds of butter per week can com
pete with one whose COWS give twice
or three times as much profit, and the
ones who do not keep up with the
march of improvement will fall far
behind. Time on the farm can not be
wasted, hence farmer can not afford
to wait two or three years watching
his neighbor make experiments, but
must himself 60 ahead and get to the
front as as soon as possible. There
is strong competition among farmers
Some can produce at lower cost than
others and can consequently sell al
lower prices. TO meet this competi'
each fnrmer must resort 10 the best
stock to be had and keep bis farm ur
to the standard of fertility.

A GLASS TOO MUCH.


The following story went the rounds
25 years ago, and is old enough to oe

which a glass too much sometimes
occasions the best of men. There liv'

whom Burton credits with the nara

Brown. a man of ability, of infexlble
integrity, and beloved and respected
by all the legal profession. But be
had one fault. His social qualities
would lead him, despite his judgment,
into occasional excess. In travelling
the circuit it was his habit, the night
before opening court, to get "comfort'
ably cornered." In a certain county
town, one day, a tough citizen was
arraigned on a charge of stealing
After the clerk read the indictment to
him, he put the question:

prisoner.
"What's that plea?" exclaimed the
Judge, who was half doing on the
bench.
"He pleads guilty, but says he was
drunk" replied the clerk.
"What's the charge against the
man?"
"He is indicted for grand larceny
"What's the case ?"
"May it please your honor" said
the prosecuting attorney, "the man
is regularly indicted for stealing a
large sum from the Columbus hotel. u
"He is, hey ?" and he pleads"
"He pleads guilty, but drunk !"
The Judge was now fully aroused
"Guilty, but drunk That is q
most extraordinary plea. Young man

"Where did yau get your liquor?'
SAT Sterritt's."
"Mr. Prosecutor" said the judge
"do me the favor to enter a noll prose

a man do anything dirty. The court

LIGHT FEEDING, LITTLE MILK
1t has been demonstrated that a cow
will eat as much as rs pounds of green
food in one day. This appears as q
large quantity, but such COWS are also
producers of more milk than cows
which eat but little. 1t is Of no ad-
vantage to have what is termed a
"lighter FEEDER" as it is impossible for
a cow to yield milk in large quantities
unless she consumes sufficient food
from which to produce the milk. Do
not reduce the food because of a scar
city, but buy bran and linseed meal.
Economy in the saving of food means
loss in the product. Food brought
on the farm is not only an addition 10
the raw material to be utilized, but
increases the manure heap.

UNION OR SECEsH.-Many northern
women visited the border hospitals
during the war, bearing to the sick and
wounded Union heroes pies, preserves
and numerous delicacies, and to the
Confederate heroes tracts on the evils
of human slavery. They would ask
a sufferer: care you Union or
Secesh ?" The sufferer who answered
"Union" got the goodies; the one who
answered "Secesh" got only tract.
One day Confederate of foreign birth
happened to be placed on Union bed,
and there he lay when one of these
angels, bearing piety and preserves,
began her hospital rounds. When
she came to him she asked, as usual,
care you Union or Secesh ?" "Vell,"
replied the poor devil, "uf you gif me
a dract, ish Secesh; but uf you gif
me shicken und bic, 1 ish Union like
hellw He got the "shicken und bic" "

WOOD AsHEs.-All farmers know
that wood ashes are valuable for fer.
tilizer. But this value, as many know,
is due very much to the material from
which the ashes come. Thus ashes
made from hard wood are more valu'
able than ashes made from soft wood.
In fact, some ashes made from soft
wood have not enough virtue to make
it worth while to bother with them.
1t has also been found that the value
is largely governed by the part of the
tree from which the ashes is made. II
is declared by chemists that the ash OF
the young twigs is of more value than
the ash of the trunk of the tree, and
the ash of leaves still more valuable.

NOTES ON TREE PLANTING. In
setting out trees in nearly all cases
better work can be done with saving
of time if two work at it together.
One person can trim the roots, cutting
off any that may be injured or broken,
and then cutting back the top to cor
respond with the roots, while the other
is digging the hole for the tree. Then
one can hold the tree in place and can
sift the soil close in among the roots
while the other fines and shovels
it in.
1t is very essential to have the soil
and roots come in close contact, and
much loss is occasioned in setting out
trees from a failure to look closely
after this matter at the time of setting
out. After the roots are covered we'll
with soil it should he tramped or
pressed down we'll, and then the place
filled little above the level, so that it
will not sink below the level in set
tling.
Root pruning is one way of dwar-
Gng fruit trees, but it is considered
rather the most troublesome method.
Budding on certain slow growing and
somewhat incongruous stock is consid.
cred the better plan. Such stocks tend
To render the tree more fruitful.
In planting dwarfs the point al
which the end unites with the stock
should not be more than inches be-
low the surface.
1t is we'll to set deep enough to hide
the enlargement usually made by the
union, but if put too deep the end
which will eventually be the tree will
send out roots of its own and the tree
will cease 10 be dwarf.

s9r It is not generally known that
the vanilla bean is the costliest bean
on earth. 1t grows wild, and is gath.
cred by the natives in Papantla and
Misantle, Mexico. When brought from
the forests they are sold at the rate ol
S1O.25 per 100, but when dried and
cured they cost about s10.25 per pound
They are mainly used by druggists,
and last year over 9O,O00,000 beans
were imported into England.

GRAPE VINE FERTILIzING.-Grape
vines usually need very little manure
other than mineral, and that chiefly
potash. In European countries it is
the habit of vineyardists to burn the
pruuings each year, and apply the
ashes. No other fertilizer is used. In
fact, stable manures are objected to,
as they make the vines grow rank, and
the fruit will lack the flavor that be-
longs to fruits whose vines are only
manured with the ashes. Much of the
excellence of French wines is possibly
due to this sparing use of manure.

SKINNING THE FARM.-The farmer
who rents farm and sights it does
not injure the owner of the farm so
much as he does himself, as he has but
limited time on rented farm to Sc.
cure the most that is possible. TO do
this he should use plenty of manure
and fertilizer. 1t is true the renter
enriches the farm for the owner, but
he will get much larger crops and find
himself richer at the end of the year
than to "skin" the farm.

TRANsPLANTING TREEs.-The larg-
er the top on tree or bush, the greater
the amount of plant food that must be
supplied from the roots, and the fewer
the roots the greater the work to per-
form. When transplanting trees or
vines the tops should be cut off as
much as possible consistent with the
capacity of the roots.
