A Deathbed Prank.

The sense of humor must be strong
in the man who perpetrates jokes on
his deathbed; but such has been done
on moro than one occasion.
Sir John Soane, who died in 1886,
made such conditions in his will that
their fulflment caused people to re-
gard them as nothing but joke. He
directed that II certain box belonging to
him should not be opened until thirty
years after his decease. A second box
was not to be opened until twenty
years after the first, and third was
to remain intact until another ten
years had passed away.
The boxes we're opened when the
stipulated periods had expired, but
were found to contain nothing what
ever of any value, and the only con-
clusion people could come to was that
these very precise directions were only
intended by the testator as little
joke. e.-London Mail.

Cultivation of Grape Fruit.

Grape fruit has always been grown
in southern California, but only lately
has there been any demand for it, 1t
is practicallya new luxury. But prices
are high, the consumption is large and
many people are therefore going into
the business. A man named McGin-
mis-, near Pasadena, has twelve trees
from which he shipped last year fifty.
nine boxes of grape fruit that brought
him an average of S. box. Thus fai
the shipments of grape fruit from this
part of the country have been furnished
from few scattering trees. There
has been no cultivation until the last
few years, but now the people are set
ting out extensive orchards and are
grating the trees upin a skillful man
ner to improve the fruit and increase
the juice and reduce the percentage o.

Producing I,edtop Seed.

Redtop seed of fine quality is grown
on our prairie soil in large quantities
and usually with fair profit, depend
ing in great measure upon the char
acter of the soil, writes G.. M. Davies
of Wayne county, Illinois, in the New
England Homestead. Very little is
grown on the white oak soils. Seed
is usually sown in February on corn
or oat stubble or ground prepared in
the fall. Fall seeding after cowpeas
or buckwheat will usually produce
fine seed the next year. Spring seed
ing is always moved about the 1st of
August, but produces little seed. The
grass, when ripe, is cut, cured and
stacked as for hay. Threshing is done
with small grain separator, remov-
ing part of the concave teeth and shut
ting off the blower. A No. 90 screen
is used as a rule. The best machine
for threshing red top seed has not ap-
peared. For the best results we de-
pend on the experience and good judg-
ment of the machine manager. The
seed is sacked in five bushel burlaps
and sold in the chaff
Dealers base their prices on the
amount of clean or export seed in a
bushel of II pounds. There are no
regular market quotations, the price
running with the supply and demand.
For sowing prefer the clean seed,
1-2 pounds to the acre. The hay
threshed makes good feed, but it is
too short to handle easily. One of
our growers runs baler behind the
thresher, one engine pulling both ma
chimes. This saves all the hay. Red
top is our best pasture grass, growing
we'll on thin, dry soils, standing close
grazing and any amount of tramping.
Is self-seeding, much easier to get a
stand of than timothy. If properly
cured it makes good hay. 1t is sur
face feeder, leaves few roots in the
soil and has poor reputation as soil
improver This county produces
about all the redtop seed harvested in
the United States. The soil and sur
roundings seem especially adapted to
the crop and farmers have become
skilled in its. culture and are looked to
for the annual supply.

The Soy Bean as a Farm Crop.

The Purdue university, Indiana
agricultural experiment station, has
recently issued bulletin treating of
this new and promising leguminous
crop, stating that it has been success
fully grown in different parts of In
diana, as well as further north in the
United States, thriving we'll in good
corn soil and growing wherever corn
can be successfully produced.
We have 80 many other good legu-
minous crops available for the south
ern states that this bean has not yet
attracted the attention of our agricul-
turists that perhaps it may deserve.
1t is said to yield per acre from 8 to
II tons of green fodder, from l 12 to
1-2 tons of hay and 10 to 40 bushels
of seed, according to its variety, the
condition of the soil, etc.
In food value it compares favorably
with clover hay. The seed is very
rich in protein and can be fed advan-
tageously with corn, but they should
be ground before feeding. The price
of the bean seed is SO high, 50. so to
So. 90 per bushel, as to seriously in
terfere with the development of this
as farming crop, and farmers are adj
vised to bAgin growing it in small
way and thus to learn from their own
experience what to think of the crop.

Fertilizer for an Apple Orchard.

A fish and potash fertilizer will do
no harm to an old apple orchard on
dry land, but we would not put on too
much of this mixture, because it is so
heterogeneous that it might force too
great growth of wood. Ordinarily
boue and potash, or bone meal and
wood ashes are among the best fertil-
izers for apple trees of all ages. There
is little danger of the ordinary farmer
putting on too much fertilizer in the
orchard, as in most cases 200 to 400
pounds is all that is used and twice or
thrice that quantity will do no harm.
1t ought to be put on at once, as the
trees are already we'll started and it
would have been better had the plant
food been applied last fall or on the
snow. ~ little air. -slaked lime in the
potato hill will do no harm, but we
doubt if it will keep away the white
