Fall Flowing Of Stubble Land.

The most common mistake in prepar-
ing ground for fall grains is waiting
until just before seeding time or about
the last week in August and the first in
September, according to Orange Judd
Farmer and there are the following
reasons why early blowing is the best :
The weeds that have started after the
cutting Of the small grains are turned
under and kept from seeding This is
no small consideration where the ground
is at all foul. If some of the seeds near
the surface should start after blowing,
go Ier the field with harrow of some
kind or cultivator and allow none to
develop The chief value of early plow-
ing is that the land has an opportunity
to become well pulverized and compact
ed before seeding time. II the land is
hard when plowed, the numerous work
ings which should be given it with the
rains Of late summer and early autumn
will dissolve the clods and obliterate
damage if present when the seed is
sown. Many failures with winter grains
can be traced to late blowing and imper-
feet preparation Of the seed bed Begin
blowing as soon as the shocks have been
removed from the field. This will vary
from the first week in July to the second
in August.

Seeding Hard Clay Soil.

In answer to correspondent who has
two acres Of white clay soil which, after
a bard rain. baked so hard that nothing
will grow. the Rural New Yorker ad :
vises We have seen such land restored
by subsoiling and the use of lime. The
stiff, hard clay was plowed with sub
soil pillow following in the furrow to a
depth of nearly two feet The upper
surface was then narrowed and ton to
the acre of lime broadcasted. This was
thoroughly narrowed in and the upper
soil crushed with Acme and roller
Just before gentle rain the grass seed
was sown and brushed in with light
harrow The subsoiling opened the
ground, making it more porous and bet
ter able to hold moisture The lime
had the effect Of enlarging the particles
of soil aud preventing the hard, brick
like baking. We do not believe that
such soils can be pro6tably seeded down
without deep working. and in many
cases the use Of lime will gradually help
the upper surface soil Such soils are
usually strong and do not particular ly
need fertilizer. They need chiefly open
ing up. so that they will hold and re.
tain moisture.

Removing Rocks.

~SNS-@~s
The description Of any process for
tightening the task of getting rid Of
rocks on a farm is sure of an interested
audience, for which reason the story Of
a rock shooting" told by correspond
ent of the Rural New Yorker, is here
repeated:
This especial line of economics did
not take place on this farm, for have
been fortunate enough to have the rocks
removed by former generations, but a
neighbor was not SO fortunate, and hear
ing the reports of his "shootings" went
over to see him. found him about to
begin operations on an ugly looking rock
that showed about six inches above the
surface and which was botheration
every time the field was plowed, Quilt
waited or cut. With an iron bar he
sounded around it until he found the
straight side, then with the bar hole
was made about two feet deep slanting
enough SO that the end Of it would be
under the rock. A "stick" of dynamite
(one-half pound was crumbled in the
hands, let run in the hole and pressed
lightly down with a broom handle.
Then piece of fuse two feet long was
put in, having cap on the end, and
another "stick" was crumbled on top
of the first This was so that the cap
would explode in the dynamite. Then
earth was filled in the hole and tamped
lightly with the broom handle, match
applied, and we all set out on brisk
walking match until we got out of reach.
There was report and a hole in the
ground, and pieces Of broken rock scat
tered about the field we're all that was
left Of the troublesome rock. The cash
outlay was shout 9 cents and the time
Of making the explosion was about Is
minutes. There was the broken stone
to be hauled off, but in this case he sold
the stone for so cents perch, 80 that
what he got for the stone more than re-
paid him for hauling.
Often small rock, say three or four
feet in diameter, will be turned out of
the hole but not broken, then q stick or
two is laid on the top of the rock and a
bucket Of mud with all the small stones
carefully taken from it) is placed on the
dynamite, the charge fred as before and
broken stone is the result The thing
wherein most failures by beginners are
made is by not putting enough dyna-
mite under the rock One blast | saw
was case iu point after the blast the
stone was in almost the same position as
before, but we saw by the impression on
the soft earth that the stone had rolled
to the top of the hole and almost rolled
out, and then for want of half stick
more had rolled back again. Put enough
under to do the work or you lose all that
you do put under. Another caution is
to get as far away from the rock as the
fuse will let you or else get behind some
tree and close up to the trunk. l saw
a shutter of house broken by blast
that was fred fully 100 yards away
This was, of course, an exceptional case,
but one does not want to get hit, even
by an exceptional piece Of rock.

Kerosene Spray.

feel safe now In recommending kero-
sene, provided we understand it is to be
put on in the very finest possible spray
and no more used than absolutely neces
sary to wet. To show what mean I
say that with an atomiEer holding one
pint covered completely a pear tree in
full foliage ten feet in height aud with
a diameter through the branches Of fully
five feet Every part was wet and wet
thoroughly. 10 fact, there was even
more used than was actually necessary
but at the rate Of cents gallon for
kerosene this makes the application cost
just cent for material. This is cheaper
than can be done with whaleoil soap or
any similar material The whaleoil soap
will kill the San Jose Scale. There is
no question about that. But whaleoil
soap is not so penetrating as kerosene
and will not get into the crevices. -

Gooh Things.

Starting with one car, and d funeral ear at that, the Pullman Palace Car company in 8 years laid aside a sur plus of $24000000, which was divided between the stockholders. How cur ious it all seems. Pullman's hearse on the rail brought him great fortune, yet he disinherited his two sons. It has always been a superstition that hearses brought i'll luck. Another amazing success was Edison Electric, which went begging at 45. A broker bought 20 shares for $500, and sold 10 of them year later for $30,000. Bell Telephone stock started at a low price
 but went to 200, and made many rich. There is no end of these good things.

Some Big Houses.

The Sultan is said to have nearly completed the largest hotel in the world at Mecca. This establishment is to lodge 5000 pilgrims at once, with, presumably, their came1s and other beasts of burden, and promises to be one of the most picturesque places to stay atin theworld. although, of course, .infidel dogs" are not allowed to ap- proach it. Its vast size has drawn at tention to monster residences. The largest dwelling-house in existence is in Vienna, where there an apartments house with 1,5o0 rooms in it, occupied by more than 5000 people. This build ing has thirty-two staircases, thirteen interior courts and $50 windows on the street.

A WISE COMMANDER,
Lord Howe's Campaign Against the French
 and Indians.

and Anulanss
 Lord Howe, who, in 175S, accom- panied Gen. Abercrombie in the attack on Fort Ticonderoga, did not, like the foolish Braddoek, insist on fighting h. dians and Frenchmen according to the military rules of European armies. While his army was eneamped at Al- bany he forbade all display of gold and scarlet in the march, and ordered the barrels of the muskets to be blackened, that the soldiers might not be seen at distance by the gIittering of their arms.
 He himself set an example by wear ing a soldiers coat shorn of it's tail, and leggings made of cloth. The hair was, in those days, worn in bag or queue by the officers. Lord Howe's hair was abundant and fine, yet he cropped it, and ordered the officers to do the same. The amount of personal bag gage and camp equipage then carried by the officers was enormous.
 One day the officers were invited to dine with Lord Howe in his tent. When they arrived they were surprised 10 see no chairs or tables, but bear skins spread on the floor like rugs. Lord Howe sat down on small log, and the officers followed his example. Presently the servants set down q large dish of pork and peas.
 Lord Howe took a sheath out of his pocket, drew from it knife and fork and began to cut and divide the pork The officers sat in silence, which he in- terrupted by asking if they were not provided with similar portable instru- ments. Then he distributed to each a case like his own.
 On the march he ordered that each soldier should be provided with pow dered ginger, and that it should be mixed with the water with which they filled their canteens.
 The simple prescription saved the lives of many while marching through ma1ariaI swamps, the water of which thirst compelled them to drink. The wise and gallant commander was shot while leading his men against an ad- vaneed guard of the French
