Agricultural BreVIties.

The perfection attained by Japanese
fruits and seeds is due to very thorough
cultivation and fertilizing. Their en-
tire system of agriculture is slow, la
borious and painstalsing, but the re
suits are marvellous in quality an6
quantity of produce.
1t is claimed that if the crusade
against the gypsy moth were stopped
the insect would multiply beyond all
possibility of control and Massachu-
sets could easily pass the pest along and
share her trouble with her neighbors.

A very handy thing to have around

it may be used to cover the hive when
the cover is off and will keep the bees
down on the side where you are not
working, says American Gardening.

The Ontario Logs.

Ia discussing the Canadian timber ques-
ton the Boston Journal says: "As the
timber question is under consideration,
more or less, as factor in our relations
with Canada, it may be profitable to recall
precisely what it was which the govern
ment of the Province Of Ontario did last
year touching this matter. That govern
ment sold to certain American lumbermen
large tracts of public timberlands. The
chief value of these timber limits was the
right to cut logs on them. The govern
ment of Ontario sold this right. and, hav
ing turned the money into its treasury,
proceeded to prohibit the expectation of
logs. In other words, it made worthless
that for which it had just taken money.
This species of sharp practice it is under
stood the Dominion government deplores,
but is powerless to remedy, and we have
no doubt that the Imperial government
deplores it equally. The government of
Ontario acted within its legal rights when
it feeced the American lumbermen, but it
cannot be said to have promoted better
understanding between the United States
and Canada"

At last somebody has been found to
say good word for the English sparrow.
According to the year book of the U. S.
department of agriculture he earns his iv-
ing honestly as weed destroyer. Flocks
of thousands of these birds, says the report
may be seen every autumn on the lawns OF
the Department of Agriculture, feeding on
crab grass and yardgrass-two weeds
which crowd out good turf-making grasses
The English sparrow also deserves credit
for destroying seed of 'the dandelion,
which is prolific weed throughout the
United States, especially in lawns, Gene
teries, and pastures In the destruction
of dandeion seeds the English sparrow is
aided by several native birds, chiefly the
songsparow. but so far as observed, the
native birds usually do not cut open
dandeions, but feed upon those left by
the English sparrow OF the troublesome
weeds, especially among the hoed crops.
nearly every one is an annual, and its
seeds are generally eaten by the native
spanows during the colder half of the
year.

Show Cattle.

There is one phase Of exhibiting stock
al the great fairs that while in one way
educational object lessons, as showing
what may be done in a fancy way with
select specimens Of breed of cattle, does
not reach the full measure of success along
educational lines. We refer to the fitting
up of show herds which 60 the rounds OF
fairs. as an advertisement of the owners
stock, and sometimes of the owners purse.
These animals are not generally bred by
the owner and exhibitor, but are bought
with dollars out of long purse They
are well advertised and pulled; they have
conspicuous place in the barns and
show-rings and judges are confronted by
an apparent popular verdict in their favor
before they are called into the ring to de-
eide upon their merits.
The old-fashioned way was better.
When a man brings stock of his own
breeding to the fair he must have his
preconceived notions of their merits be-
hind him. He may hold the opinion at
home that he has the best cattle that walk
the earth, but at the fair, There are
Others and their merits are certain to
be considered Right here comes the
educational part of the fair The farmer
or the breeder learns by comparing his
stock with that Of others just where his
cattle are weak and if wise he sets about
correcting their faults --1faiAe Farmer.

Rape is used chiefly for pasturing
hogs or sheep. Beef cattle have been fed
on it with good results but with milk
cows the rape is likely to give a strong
taste to the milk. 1t is member of the
turnip family, says The Rural New
Yorker. We have found it excellent
pasture for hogs. At the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station experiment shows that
rape gives better results for hog feeding
than clover. Many sheep growers broad
cast the rape seed either alone or mixed
with crimson clover seed, in corn at the
last cultivation. After the corn is cut,
the rape grows mp and, in an open win
ter, will give fair pasture till Christ
mas. The Dwarf Essex is the best va
riety. We sowed rape broadcast in
crimson clover in May last year 1t
gave more or less feed during the season,
and some of it has actually come
through the past hard season, alive and
green.

SEED POTATOES.
The Ohio Stations Plan For Growing
and Keeping Seed.

The importance of good, sound, IN
sprouted potatoes for seed is a matter
concerning which there is no difference
of opinion, but how to secure such seed
is a question upon which all are not
agreed. Some would send north each
year for new stock, while others believe
that the southern second crop potatoes
are superior to other seed because of
the fact that they do not sprout SO
quickly in the spring.
1t is sufficient to say without going
into details that the Ohio experiment
station has found that the locality
where the seed was grown is a matter
of less importance than the manner in
which the seed is kept, which is equiv
alent to saying the condition of the seed
before planting determines what the
crop is to be far more than does the lat
itude where the seed was produced.
When equally we'll preserved from
sprouting, our own seed potatoes have
given as good results as those from ell
ther north or south. Cold storage Ohio
seed potatoes have given as good crops
as those from Maine or North Carolina.
1Olu storage ih IOI convenient IOI Ill,
however. and means must be adopted
to obviate the necessity of it. The east
est plan is to grow seed potatoes late in
the season by planting about the 1st Of
July.
To carry out this plan preparations
need to be begun as early as the 1st Of
May. Ordinarily potatoes will not keep
in condition for planting until the 1st
of July, but if they are taken from the
cellar before they have begun to srrout
or when the sprouts are Just starting
and spread out ON the barn floor or loft
or some place where they will receive
light they will throw out short, stu bly,
green sprouts about half an inch in
length and then remain in that condi-
ton for months. The potatoes must be
only one layer deep and preferably seed
end up. All Of the eyes will not throw
out sprouts, and in cutting the pieces
should be larger than for spring plant
ing. When planted these potatoes will
come up quickly and make their growth
in a short time and almost surely give
a good crop.
In 1897 the Bovee gave, with the
treatment above desert bed. at the sta
ton. 200 bushels per acre, and in 1893
the Enormous yielded 300 bushels per
acre, which was better than the early
crop Late varieties do as well by this
method of treatment as early sorts, but
usually the yield is less than from
early planting.
The object Of this method of growing
potatoes is to secure seed that will keep
in a common cellar without sprouting
and for this purpose it is far superior to
seed grown in the ordinary manner.
1t may be said. also, that pota toes
grown from sprouted seed are less scab-
by than those grown from seed taken
from the cellar and planted at once
Late planted potatoes are less liable to
blight than early planted, although not
exempt from that disease.

Mnlhall. the well.known English Stats

Muhall the well-known English Stats
tician, has published comparative state
ment of the wealth OF the world based up
on careful Investigations of real estate re
CORDS, buildings, merchandise, industrial
establishment and railways, as well as the
circulating medium in each nation, which
places the United States far ahead of all
other countries. The figures he submits
show the national wealth of this country
to be $751; ,75o, ooo, 900, or S22 72o DOC, 900
above the wealth of Great Britain, the
second richest nation in the world double
that OF France or Germany; seven timas
that of of Spain, and equal to the com
bined wealth of Austria, Russia. and Italy
In connection with this statement, Mr.
Mulhall notes the fact that while most of
the European countries have attained their
growth, and some IRE going backward,
the United States is apparently on the
threshold of an industrial development
which it has never dreamed of before.
