Quantity of Limo to Apply.

Professor Watson Of Pennsylvania ex-
pertinent station says: The quantity Of
lime that it is safe to drill with the
cereal crops cannot be definitely stated.
This quantity, of course, would vary
quite largely, AZ the character Of tho
soil, amount Of moisture present, etc. /,
varied. Air Stacked lime may be drilled
with the grain as fertilizers are drilled
with safety il applied In moderate
amounts. In the middle and New Eng.
land states where land plaster oan be
obtained cbeaply. many farmers have
praotioed drilling land plaster and lime
in about equal amounts with fairly sat
isfactory results In applying lime 1t
should not he forgotten that the sole OBJ
ject is to help the plant obtain food
from the soil that could not be obtained
without the lime. In parts OF the ooun-
try where comparatively little lime is
used there seems to be q prevailing
opinion that it is q plant food, or, in
other words, that lime does furnish
some Of the necessary elements that the
plant needs in building up it's structure.
While this may be true in exceptional
cases, yet nearly all the lime applied to
the soil is applied 70 help the plant rob
the soil Of plant food. The continued
application Of lime without applying
plant food will surely impoverish the
soil. 1t may be applied with the grain
drill. a. stated, but the practice should
not be continued without applying fer

New Notions In Grating.

New ideas in grating will be readily
adopted by all fruit growers. The long
accepted method of cutting the gratis
in winter and keeping them in sand, to
be used OH outside trees, has been found
excellent from experience, but Mis-.
souri, fruit grower states that he has OBJ
hined better results with plum gratis
that were cut in spring and grated an
hour after cutting, while apple gratis,
cut and used the same day, did not give
a single failure. When testing the plan
of cutting and using CRAFTS on the same
day, it should be done with few until
satisfied that the results will be success.

Hogs that are fattening will often
eat charcoal quite greedily. That from
corn on the cob is probably the best, as
the cob contains very considerable
amount Of potash, which oorreots the
acidity of the stomach. Corn is a very
heavy and rich grain and hard Of diges-
tion for any animal. In the quantities
that fattening hogs eat of corn it is no
wonder if their stomachs are oloyed. A
little charcoal will greatly improve
their appetite. Even hogs that are not
fattening will eat some charcoal. 1t has
ger of eating too much. Exchange.

A Simple Ice House.

One of the simplest new ice houses seen
lately is built with two by four studs,
boarded inside and out, then covered with
paper. followed by another layer of boards
inside and out and finally papered again
on the inside, using common building
paper fastened with laths at the top and
along the seams. Here is the way the ice
is packed: The ground is first allowed to
freeze, then the ice is put in packed fiat,
breaking joints. The first layer of ice
covered with water to cover it solid, The
following layers are cut even sized cakes
with little dry straw packed in between
the cakes. There is no sawdust between
the layers but space between the ice and
the wall, four by six inches, is filled with
sawdust, and six or eight inches more is
put on top.

CONCERNING GRATING.
Of Top Working-When and
How to Do 1t Successfully.

Advantage Of Top Working-When and
How to Do 1t Successfully.
In speaking Of grating at this season
reference is made not to the grating OF
seedlings in the nursery, but to the
"top working" Of trees of considerable
size, which is in order in the spring.
On this subject the Ohio Farmer has
the following to say:
Top working on growing trees is not
difficult operation and may be made to
bring good results in many cases Many
varieties too tender to be grown in To-
cality can be made do we'll when grated
on harder sorts, and some that for va
rious reasons are found unsatisfactory
when other methods are pursued with
them do we'll when grated on other va
rieties. The Wild Goose plum, for ex-
ample, does not give general satisfac-
tion, but if top worked on the Wolfe
or De Soto can be relied on for
good crops. Many valuable oombina.
tions can also be made with the ap-
pie, and for the home orchard kinds
that are vaIued, but lack hardness, can
be secured in this way. 1t is best to cut
the scions for grating in December, but
they may be cut during the winter at
any time after a few days Of mild, open
weather. If cut when the temperature
is low, the bark is pretty sure to shrivel.
Plum and cherry trees can best be
grated late in March, before the sap
starts, and the wounds should be COW
cred with grating wax. Apple trees
may be top worked in April just as the
buds are swelling. II it is preferred to
bud instead of graft, this may be done as
late as the last week in May. Cherries
and plums are usually propagated this
way, though cherry seedlings cannot
be budded until August or September.
The essential feature Of successful
grating is that the inner bark and cam
blum layer of the scion and stock shall
coincide for as much space as possible
and that the air shall be excluded by
the application Of rafting wax 30 that
it will not dry out. Cleft grating con-
sists of splitting the stock and holding
the cleft open with wedges, inserting the
scion after shaping it smoothly to
wedge shape, taking care to bring the
inner bark Of the scion and the stock
together. In whip grating the scion
and stock are both shaved off diagonal
ly and brought together in that way.
A little practice on branches Of green
wood of almost any kind will soon en-
able the learner to make the cuts so
that they will come together smoothly
and bring the inner bark Of both to-
gether. A common formula for grating
wax is three parts rosin, three parts
beeswax and two parts beef tallow
melted together. A cheaper, harder and
better composition is four parts rosin.
one part beeswax and one part linseed

Two-thirds of the letters written to
poultry papers at this time are inquiries
about the we'll known and very common
disease, roup. The trouble has several
stages and many forms. just as colds and
simular diseases have with human beings,
and the disease is sometimes hard to dis
tinguish. Roup is brought on by the
same causes which bring on colds in
human beings; dampness, drafts, over
feeding and general low vitality.

European Creditor.-The Milk In
the British Gold Coceanut.

L . 4yhH
As bearing on the present gold i'm
portations a comparison of British
and American trade which we find in
] the Philadelphia American is interest
, ing. These statistics of trade show that
during the calendar year 1897 the peo-
pie of the United States sold 1886, 1885,
664 worth more of merchandise to for
eigners than they bought from foreign
ers, there was was exported from the
United States in excess. of importations
| $685. of gold and $25,5S5,310 of sill
yer, or a total balance put to our credit
by net expectations of merchandise,
gold and silver of $3s2,240,5o3. During
thesame year the British people bought
from foreigners merchandise to the
value of e 1870 ,003 in excess of what
they sold to foreigners, there was
shipped from the United Kingdom
and imported into the United King
dom nearly 100000 Of gold, but SO
nearly did exports balance imports
that Britain gained all told just e2S7
of gold while she lost 6 648,89 of sill
yer. Thus there appears against the
British people for the year 1897 deb
it balance on account of their foreign
trade of 1856, 400 1893, the equivalent Of
$761, 100000.
Thus the trade returns show the
United States to have been a creditor
on the years business of $685., 900,
100000. Thus we have sharply con-
trasted the difference between the po-
sitions of creditor and debtor ma
!! ton. The United States had to provide
$685., 100000 in produce on account of
her foreign debt, the United Kingdom
received $761 100000 worth of produce
on account of what she has lent in
debtor of England and Germany and
Holland, etc., paying $382,00o,ooo to it's
creditors, we have the other, a creditor
of the world, receiving $761, 100000 from
its debtors.
The milk in the British gold cocoa
; nut is very nutritious. Through the
workings of the system forced upon
this country by the British bondholders,
the farmers and producers of America
are made to pay double tribute to Eu-
ropean creditors. At single gold stand
ard prices, the United States has to fur
nish Europe $764,0O0,00O worth of ex
ports to meet it's obligations. Or, in
| other words, under bimetallism Eu-
rope, which means England, would
have to pay this country $382,000,C00
more cash on goods than it now allows
for the American products its people
need. No wonder England stands as
stone wall against the free coinage of
silver, and refuses to give it's consent
to this country to adopt bimetallism.
The wonder is, however, that the peo-
pie of this country have submitted so
long to England's dictation, and have
permitted themselves to be robbed "go-

THEIR FEVER ABATING.
Congressman Not Now Anxious to Go
on Record as Supporting the
Gold Standard.

The individual M mbers of congress
are evidently not so anxious to go upon
record on the currency reform ques-
ton as are the gold standard managers
to put them there. The latter gentle
men are thoroughly convinced of the
absolute necessity of preparing "clear-
cut" issue for the autumn elections, but
those members of the house of repre-
sentatives whose future political ex-
istence depends upon the results of the
campaign are not so sanguine of the ex-
pediency of drawing the lines too tight.
It is their OK that is in danger of being
gored:
Hence the announcement that, cow
ing to international complications" ac-
ton upon the new currency reform
measure recently reported by the SUBJ
committee on banking and currency is
extremely improbable at this session of
congress. It is added, however, that
''the way is admirably prepared for ef-
fective remedial legislation next win
ter" This may not be exactly that
brand Of aggressive warfare" SO loud

policy Of the republican party upon the
financial question, but it is undoubted-
~ sound political Judgment He who

Another day s'4z::'s"sE1F< p. .~~r
Members Of congress who desire to
return to the scene Of their usefulness
at Washington display extreme wisdom
in refusing to 60 before the country
upon any such issue as that contained
in the new currency reform bill. Out
side Of Wall street, there is not polit-
ical thoroughfare in the. country upon
which the contrapt:on would stand up
long enough to get even fair start.
A government currency founded upon
private assets is hardly the sort of
"honest money" fer which the people
ct this country are seeking just at the
present time. ST. +
That the republican managers fear
to press the financial issue at this time
is an extremely significant and eassur-
ing fact. That they dare not go upon
record in behalf Of the gold standard
and national bank conspiracy is the
most conclusive evidence OF the
strength Of the bimetallic cause. And
