DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
Old Saying About Keeping All the
Eggs In One Basket Is as
True as Ever Ii Was.

This is a subject which cannot be too
often brought to the attention of
farmers everywhere, because it is the
most rational as well as the most profit
able system that has ever been devised.
To raise corn alone or wheat alone or
cotton alone is not the part of wisdom.
Thousands of acres of kentucky land is
barren because it has been devoted to
tobacco exclusiI and multiplied
thousands are barren in other states
because cotton, wheat or corn has been
grown year after year, until the plant
food for the particular favorite crop is
exhausted.
There is hardly place in the United
States where the farmer is confined to
a single crop as his main dependence.
ii can rotate corn, oats and grass or
clover; corn, wheat and clover, or corn,
oats, wheat and clover in the corn belt,
cotton and almost any other crop or
series of crops in most of the cotton
belt and even the great wheat fields of
the northwest may be given over to a
rotation of at least three years dura-
ton to the benefit of the land.
When one crop fails from stress of
weather another is usually the better
for it. This year the corn prospect is
very bad, while in the same sections,
wheat, oats and meadows are looking
better than usual, and the man who has
diversified crops is able to face the stu
alton with calmness.
Our southern brother who devotes
his whole time to cotton and buys every
thing he needs in the way of food.
might profitably devote few acres to
growing food supplies with great profit,
and if to these he would add live stock
he would find profitable market for
his stock and secure the best fertilizer
for his cotton at the same time.-Farm-
ers' Voice.

sEED4lIo IN TRE FAIL.
Possible After the Harvest
Work Is Completed.

If grass Or clover is to be sown in the
fall it is very essential TO prepare the
ground in a good condition IN good sea-
son in order that the seeding may be
done early. Usual unless the seeding
can be done sufficiently early SO that
the plants can secure thrifty, yigor-
Gus start TO grow aud get reasonably
well established before cold weather
sets in it is rather poor economy TO
SOW the seed. One of the worst diff
culties or objections TO fall seeding is
the lack Of moisture in the soil. With
all seed certain amount of moisture
is essential to the securing of good
termination and a vigorous start TO
grow, aud il is always an item to SOW
the seed under as favorable conditions
as possible.
One advantage in blowing the
ground reasonably early. taking pains
10 pillow deep and thorough and then
making the surface good filth, is that
the fine soil on the surface acts as a
mulch and adds materially i'll retain
ing moisture in the sell. And with
grass and clover ii is often possible to
secure good termination and good,
even stand on land plowed ard pre-
pared in a good filth early, when, if
left until the ground gets dry, there
will not be sufficient moisture to in
duce termination.
AS with nearly or quite all other
farm work, if seeding is to be done in
the fall the fields to be sown should be
determined in good season, so that the
Flowing may be done as soon as posi-
BILE after the harvest work is done. Get
the ground in good condition TO re-
ceive the seed and better opportuni-
ty for securing a good stand IS af-
forded, and if the plants are able 10
make good start to grow in the fall
they will be better able to stand the
thawing and freezing of winter.-N. j

The United States consul at Vienna,
in report to the state department on
the trade OF Austria-H Hungary for 1897,
ascribes the general decrease in ex-
ports to this country to the fact that
the same goods are now manufactured
in the United States and can be sold
there at the same or lower prices than
the Austrian goods. The report is that
American silk is being sold in Lyons,
the real silk center in Europe. and
that French manufacturers are buying
1t in large quantities, especially that
used for lining purposes, TO take the
place of that formerly imported from
Austria and Germany. There Is a fall
ing off in the demand for pearl goods.
and for glassware, due 20 the popu-
larity and superiority of the American
product. 1t is frankly admitted, the
consul says, that the American cut
glass is finer and more elegantly cut
than any manufactured in Europe The
American bicycle. according to the con-
sui, is finding favor with the wheel
men, notwithstanding its higher price

thinks that If United States manufac-
