MisIeading, variety Names.

AS rule it is a good plan to let
alone the varieties of fruits that are
sent out under the enticing name of
"overbearing." The term is misleading
and can only be applied, even partial
ly, to few varieties, and those are
mainly sorts that string the crop
through the summer instead OF ripen-
Ing 1t at the regular season. Even
these few sorts are of little value, as
hardly enough fruit is borne at any
one time to pay for picking. 1t is pos
sible to change the fruiting season of
some berries to certain extent when
they show tendency to fruit late in
the fall on the canes of the present
seasons growth, by sacrificing the first
or regular crop. This may be done
by cutting down the plants in the
spring and allowing the new canes to
fruit In the fall. just as the season
OF blooming with some Towering
shrubs is changed ON the same plan.
The results will not be satisfactory.
and 1t is much better to stick to the
plan OF setting varieties that bloom at
specified periods, and allow them to
bloom or fruit at such times, placing
the main reliance on very early and
very late sorts.

PLAIN FACTS ABOUT MONEY.

Money in all countries has the same
qualities in making exchanges and Is
n creation of law. Each independent
country adopts its own standard of
measure for making its own exchange
of commodities, The United States
adopted the dollar as the unit of meas
ure or standard for making exchanges
Dy act of Congress July q, 11S0. Eng
land uses the pound, France the franc,
Germany the mark, Russia the rouble.
England is said to have taken the
Doumd using u pound of standard sill
yer divided into G2 shillings; in 1910
they changed it to G6 shillings and
then limited the tender value of shill-
ings to 40 In one payment
Every country designates Its unit OF
exchanges. Same as we measure our
grain in this country by the bushel,
We hear speakers tell about 40-cent
5O-cent and other amount of cent dol
lars. Can one of them explain how
thy are going to have any other kind
of dollar than u 100-cent dollar as
loug as the law stands.
They tell us they want to know just
what dollar means, as If they don't
know now, as the dollar was defined
by act of April 2, 1902, 371A grains OF
pure silver, and we never have had any
other standard dollar from that to this
except the gold dollar from March 3
1S40, to September 26, 1890, when its
coinage was prohibited. They tell uS
when they speak of the pound, franc
or mark they know just what 1t is
Yes, they know it means so many
grains of gold to make the pound, ant
30 many grains of silver to make the
franc and so many of same to max,
the mark, and if such person is moi
an ignoramus In regard to the coin OF
this country he knows that 25S grains
of standard gold make the eagle, ant

the standard silver dollar 4121a grains
of standard silver, and contains 371K

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Many Points Which VIII BE Found of
Benefit to tho Poultry Raiser
Paralysis is caused by overfeeding
and lack Of exercise.
Never feed sulphur in cold, damp
weather.
Wheat and buckwheat whiten the
flesh of fowls.
/. A hen that lays large number of
eggs is never sleepy or droopy.
Reduce the, winter stock of poultry
as much as possible to layers.
In dressing fowls for market, care
must be taken not to break the skin.
In dressing fowls remove every
feather and pin feather before the
fowls get cold.
The man who economies on the feed
OF the fowls never gets eggs in winter.
In feeding scatter the grain widely,
so that all the fowls may have an equal
chance,
Trying to stimulate egg production
with condiments does more harm than
good.
Hens will not lay when their combs
are frosted. Prevent this by giving
them warm quarters.
While fowls need to be kept warm
and dry, they also need exercise and
fresh air.
Dry-picked turkeys command much
better prices than scalded ones. Medi-
um weights are the best.
+ To fatten fowls feed corn.
To keep hen in good condition for
laying she should exercise for a part
of her food. Slow feeding promotes
digestion.
One advantage with poultry on the
farm is that they pick up much that
would otherwise go to waste.
Keep the quarters clean and we'll
ventilated. The fowls cannot be
healthy II the quarters are unclean.
In nearly all cases II the hens get
sore feet or humble foot, it is because
the roosts are too high.

Melon Growing.

For melon growing well-drained
soils containing considerable humus or
vegetable matter are best. Lighter
soils are preferable. The best fertilizer
is one rich in all the elements of plant
food except stimulating nitrogen. Ere,

of great Importance. The growth from
the first should be continuous. Once
checked the vines seldom regain their

ed to supply the needed chemicals to
the soil. The nitrogen question has
been easily settled since it has been
found that legumes will gather it for
us from the air, so that we are left to
deal only with potash and phosphoric
acid. 1t is well known that there are
large stores of these in the soil, which
remains, oftentimes, undisturbed for
years simply because farmers do not
go about getting them out in the prop
er way. Gradually it is being learned
that the best way to make these ele-
ments available, either when they ex-
ist in the soil or are placed there in
the shape of dissolved bone or rock
and muriate or sulphate of potash,
Is by frequent cultivation so as to ad-
NIT air and moisture to act on these
elements and set them free for the use
OF plant roots. Potash and phosphoric
acid are not destroyed by the ordinary
methods of farming and can be put on
the land at any time to be taken up
by the crops in the course of time.
Both require some time to dissolve and

nothing will be lnst by evaporation,
