weeds prevent grass plants from grow
ing, and generally they harbor para
sites and rusts of grain, which may
spread to the cultivated fields any day
and do a great amount of damage
This work of clearing the pastures of
foreign growths is important at this
season OF the year, when weeds are
about to produce their seeds One
plant destroyed, root and branch, now
may prevent the growth of fifty next
summer. So it is wise to begin at
once, for every year that the work is
postponed the pasture field degen-
crates much more.
While engaged in this work of de-
struction it might be well to recon
struct, too. Plant a few shade trees
in the most convenient part of the
field, and if necessary for their protec-
ton fence them in until they attain O
good growth. Years later they will be
appreciated by both man and beast.
When the weeds are are pretty well
rooted ont it will pay to SOW the field
in the fall with grass seed, spreading
it thinly around, to reinforce the old
grass. -Indiana Farmer.

Marketing Honey,


Grade the honey in as many differ
ent classes as you have honey. Glass
ify everything. Don't put second
or third grade honey, be it ever SO
little, in n tirst-class lot, thinking you
will get tirst-class price for it. The
consequences are you will get third
class price for your frst-class honey
when you do it,
Parties that handle honey by the
quantity, from all parts of the coun-
try, are better judges of honey than
you are, as this does not require them
to be students of apiacultrre.
Never use second hand packages
many have been brought to grief by
doing this.
Have your comb honey stored in
the best white polished sections,
cleaned thoroughly, and packed in
the best shipping cases. Put your
name and address on every package
sent out as producer Of said honey.
Also give the source from which 1T
was gathered. One or more varieties
rs the dase may be.
Perhaps the best shipping package
for extracted honey is the sixty-pound
square tin can with q tbree-inch screw
cap. These cans are furnished by the
manufacturers in pairs, with;:wooden
cases, two cans in box, and usually
sold at seventy-fve cents per pair.
Last, but not least, do not consign
your honey to strangers that you
know nothing about. Quite q few
bogus honey commission firms bob up
every year and somebody gets in the
trap.-Farm, Field and Preside.

Improving Pastures.


II there is any one part of the farm
that is neglected it is the pasture
fields. While there may be some lit
tie excuse for this on large grain
farms, it can be hardly overlooked on

pasture are the chief dependencies for
success. The improvement Of pasture
fields is a crying need on many old
places. As rule, the toughest and
most sterile fields are given over TO
pastures, and it is not giving COW n
fair show to make her pick up n living

cAsERY's WONDERFUL CLOCK.
n Year Without Demaud
Any Attention.

A Kankakee county man is the pos
SCISSOR of one CT the most wonderful
clocks in the country. This clock is
as near perpetual motion machine as
any piece Of mechanism yet designed.
The owner Ia not a perpetual motion
crank, but is an exceedingly ingenious
teweler named Peter NJ Ravenskilde
or Cabery, hustling town in the
southwestern portion OF Kalkakee
county. The clock is the product OF
many years OF study and labor and
considerable expense. II keeps sccur-
ate time and will run for year with
out the least attention from it's owner.
The clock proper is run with q wheel
sixty inches in circumference. From
the outer surface OF the circumference
are suspended 120 cups, each one-haii
inch in diameter and a third OF an
inch deep. Each OF forty OF these cups,
which are successive. contains a steel
ball three eighths of an inch in diam
eter. Every minute and half, as
this weel turns by the weight OF these
balls, one of them falls out of It's cup,
rolls down an inclined plane twenty
lnches long, when, by its own weight,
1t reunites broken circuit of cleo
tricity, and Is again elevated by a 1T
tie car travelling along sleeper in
clined plane to the top Of the wheel,
where 1t falls into a cup which stands
vertical for a short time. After the
car discharges its cargo It returns 10
its original station from it's own
weight. From the time one OF these
balls Is dropped into a cup until 1t is
again dropped into another cup it trav-
els thirty-six inches. Thus the work
done by all the balls is equivalent to
one ball travelling over one mile day +;
400 miles in one year. and during the
lifetime of person living three score
years the distance around the globe.
The electricity used is generated In an
ordinary storage battery, and does not
require any attention for fully a year.
Another clock owned by Mr. Ravens
kilde is of a similar construction but
considerably smaller This clock is
used to attract attention in the store.
A porcelain globe is placed back OF the
CLOCK and at night green, red and white
electric lights reflect their rays alter
nately on the face Of the clock. the col
ors being changed each time the ball Is
discharged from one of the cups on the
timepiece. Mr.. Ravenskilde has had
many offers to exhibit his clocks but
refuses to do so, and so far he has not
mad the mechanism patented.

IN MEXICAN HOUSEHOLDS.


The arrangement of furniture is
much more formal than in the United
States. 1t is n very common sight TO
see a splendidly furnished parlor with
row OF straight backed chairs, all
alike. with their backs against the wall
and as close together as they can be
placed
Heavy single doors, such as are used
in the United States, are practically
unknown in Mexican houses either at
entrances or between interior rooms
All doors open in the middle and are
fastened with bolts top and bottom.
Exterior doors are always fitted with
glass panels, for they also serve as
windows. All such doors opening on
the street or open court are fitted with
solid shutters that are folded at the
sides out OF sight when not in use.
A good Mexican cook relieves the
mistress of the house of worry and re-
sponsibility in manner that is al
most unknown in the United States.
The cook is given so much a day and
with this amount she will purchase
each morning all the provisions foI
the day, even the staples that are
usually bought in large quantities in
other countries. On 81 n day a cook
will provide a very good table for q
family Of three or four, and get enough
beans and tortillas and chile to get
the servants table besides. They can
really do better than their mistresses,
because they can usually drive sharp
er bargains with the marketmen OF
their own class, and they have more
patience to haggle over the last penny.

Coal Ashes For Potatne..

we nave heard OF some farmers
who applied q small handful of coal
ashes in the hill before planting their
seed potatoes, taking care to let the
seed come in contact with the ashes.
Their potatoes thus treated were free
fro-2 rot and scab, while others in the
neighborhood were very badly affected
by disease. The farmer who tried
this is enthusiastic over his success.
and proposes to apply coal ashes in
the hill to as many potatoes as he can
secure the ashes for. But one expert
ment, even though so satisfactory as
this, is not conclusive. There may
have been difference in time of
planting or of soil which would have
saved these potatoes from rotting any
way. 1t would have been more salts
factory if group of four or eight
hills were ashed, and some adjoining
them were at the same time planted
without the ashes.
As we have often explained, there
is very little il any manurial value in
coal ashes. So far as increasing the
potato crop is concerned coal ashes
are useless. But the very fact that
the coal ashes have no manurial value
may he nm advantage in growing pota-
toes free from rot In contact with
this material, free from manures, if
there were germs on the seed potato
that might extend aud cause rot thew
would be isolated, and thus the new
crop could be grown free from rot All
farmers know that to put stable man
IRE in contact with the potato would
either make tho soil around the seed
too dry, or in a rainy season it would
furnish the best breeding place for
the rottungus. In fact, stable man
IRE plowed under the same season is
not now considered n safe practice
among farmers who are experienced
in growing potatoes It is much bet
ter to manure the ground q year or
two before, and so give the manure
time to ferment and disappear, leav-
ing only its condensed heterogeneous
and mineral fertility in the soil.
In one way we think that in wet
season, rs il was while the potato crop
was growing this past summer, the
coal ashes may prove a benefit. They
help 10 dry out the hill. So too will
superphospbate Of lime, especially
that made with a little excess Of
sulphuric acid, as most of it is. We
have known farmers TO use very
little phosphate in the hill with
potato seed, but in this case taking
care not to have it come in contact
with the cut surface, which IL would
soon eat into and destroy. Potatoes
thus treated were free from rot. while
those beside them not phosphated in
the hill were half rotten. In this
case we attributed the good effect TO
the drying Of the soil in the hill. Wo
can imagine that coal ashes being
inert themselves must have operated
to make the soil more dry inside the
hill during the very wet weather early
I'm the season. Even when the drv
weather came this dryness in the
centre Of the hill where tho potatoes
form is an advantage, for most of the
potato roots shat supply moisture have
by this time extended TO the middle
OF the rows, American CglG7atoy,

Threading Buckwheat.

Owing to the great amount of sap
its thick stalk contains, buckwheat
cannot well be piled up in stacks or
put in mows. We have known it to
be threshed by machine, but it took
so much more power to thresh the
buckwheat by threshing machine that
the experiment was not profitable. 1t
is extremely easy with little beating
of the head to dislodge every grain OF
buckwheat. But when stalks aud all
were put in it had to be done very
slowly, else the green buckwheat
stalks would clog the cylinders and
stop the machine. 1t takes much
more coal to thresh buckwheat with q
steam thresher than it does to thresh
grain whose straw is dry.
