Nothing truer ever was said thar
the following:
"There are persons in this city,
and other cities who pass from man
to man and from woman to woman
repeating evil words which are
deadly in their results, and you
cannot evaporate the truth from
the falsehood, and point out the
Islander that turks therein. Per-
haps words were not used, for they
are not necessary TO the destruc-
ton of some brother or sister. A
drop of the lip, an arched eyebrow,
the shrug of the shoulder, even an
emphatic silence, may do the dead
ly work. You congratulate your
self that the days Of persecution
are over; and so they are, as to the
crucifictions of the flesh. You new
err burned a human being alive;
you never rejoiced over the death
shrek of some one who was suffer-
ing the quick or slow process Of
physical death; hut did you never
rob some man or woman OF friends
or take away from them their good
name, or gleefully repeat some mis-
cradle gossip, or purposely misin-
terpret their acts or words? We
live by that on which we feed. If
we feed on gossip we become SLAM
derers. If we feed on evil speaking
we become vicious.

is as true of bottom land as Of upland.
Stop the soaking and you will prevent
the clodding. One other point is worth
considering here. Do not burn any
vegetable matter in your farm. Plow
it into the soil. This will enrich the
soil and prevent the baking and clod-
ding.

horticultural Observations.


1t is a noticeable fact that the in
fuence OF horticultural conventions is
on the increase. This is perhaps large
ly due to the advance being made in
horticultural education at our agricul-
tural colleges. The colleges are an
nually turning out students and are
also every year supplying more pro-
fessors as speakers at such meetings.
In the last few years a distinct i'm
provement has been noticeable in the
quality of the papers presented This
condition should be recognized by the
great mass of farmers and the conven-
tions should be more freely attended.
The Improvement in travelling facili-
ties makes this possible.
For years there has been keen con-
troversy between the men that favored
keeping pear orchards in sod and those
that favored keeping them in state
of high cultivation. The on-lookers
have been of the opinion that it did
not make much difference so far as
the blight was concerned whether the
orchards were in sod or not. Now,
however, the Maryland Agricultural
College has come out with a circular
stating that at that institution it is
considered proved that pear orchards
that have become affected with blight
should be got into sod as soon as pos
sible; that high cultivation and fer
tilization help the blight rather than
stop it. This Of course is not advised
for orchards that are not affected by
the pest. We doubt however, If the
opinion of the Maryland college will
settle matters in the minds of many
of our readers
In keeping OF apples the temperature
is of course Of great Importance. The
ideal degree is said to be 35 above
zero. This is, however, not possible
to be obtained constantly except where
the apples are placed in cold storage
houses where the temperature is reg
ulated by appliances for that purpose.
In the cellar even where a low degree
of temperature is obtainable the air
around the apples should not be per-
mitted to change constantly, as the re-
suit will be to draw the moisture from
the fruit and cause shriveling. For
this reason the storage of apples in
barrels induces better keeping, as the
cool air around the fruit cannot
change freely. Some follow the prac-
t1ce- of burying the apples out oil
doors, and this practice is a good one
if the pit is dry and is placed below
the frost line. The temperature of the
ground in winter is seldom likely to
rise above 40 degrees at a depth inn
mediately below the frost line. This
should be an ideal temperature. In
fact it is altogether probable that
storage cellars constructed for the
keeping of fruit will be found easier
to regulate than the best appointed
house cellars.

Looking After the Pastures.

The agricultural department of the
national government is looking after
the question of pastures more closely
than ever before. Some of the work
it has been doing during the past few
years is bound to be far reaching in
its effects, not only on the ranges of
the far west but also on the pasture
lands of the more eastern sections Of
the country. There is no subject. that,
it seems to the writer, has been more
neglected or that will pay better pay
for thought, investigation and expert
ment. The pastures of the American
farm are badly handled and almost al
ways neglected.
The formation of most of our pas
lures has been a hit-or-miss affair,
governed largely by accident. Some of
the best arabic land on the farm is
generally found in pasture land and
that has never been disturbed since
the forest was cleared away in the
old days. We are just now waking up
to the fact that in the pastures are
great possibilities. We have been sat-
isfied to have good many acres sup
port a single COW; we are coming now
to consider how the yield of pasture
grass may be increased to enable a
COW to be supported on as lew acres as
possible. AS an index of the progress
being made we recall a question that
was last week put to H. B. Gurler at
the dairymen's meeting at Aurora,
Illinois: How many COWS do you sup
port per acre?" The answer was that
he had not yet reached the point where
he could talk of it as being so many
COWS per acre." but that it was yet
so many acres to the cow" but he
was progressing in the direction of the
inquiry.
The care of pastures may well con-
Germ the department Of agriculture
There is no doubt that the poor care
given our pastures results in immense
losses to American farmers yearly
There are hundreds of mil lions of
acres s1f pasture land that are yielding
results only from the upper few
inches of soil, with foot of soil be-
low whose richness is untapped. This
is due to the fact that so little care is
given the pastures that they are al
ways kept short and the roots of the
grasses are prevented from striking
downward.
The attention being given the varie-
ties of grasses to be grown should in
sugurate a new era The one or two
grasses that are now SO popular must
be supplanted by a great number Of
grasses maturing at different periods
throughout the summer. There are
some additional features that must be
considered. such as method I'm grazing.

DESTROYING CIods.

If you have a piece of hard land to
break, which is so baked as to come
up in clods, we would suggest that you
run over it with disc or eutaway har-
row ahead of plows, and break with
very small scooters, says a southern
farmer. Do not try to turn such land.
If you still have clods do not wait for
them to harden, but run heavy roller
or drag over and follow with some
pulverizing harrow the same day.
An hour or so will do this for each
days plowing. Thus you will pulver-
ize most of them quite easily. Run
roller ahead of harrow so as to crush
as many as possible, and fasten the
others so that they cannot dodge the
harrows. 1t Will pay to take time to
do this, your crop can be cultivated
so much cheaper afterwards; and the
yield will be so much greater. Every
time you go over with harrows and
Crushers you will increase the yield
of the crop.
We once selected one acre in a
twenty acre field, average spot and

teen times right along before we quit

acre just as we did the rest of the field.

The Indiana State Board of Agricu1-
ture, in a report, says:
Wheat and Barley Beard 1t not
frequently happens that after hogs
have been turned upon wheat and BARI
ley stubble that some will die. The
symptoms which the pigs will present
are quite variable. In some cases ID
will be an intensely sore mouth, in
others it will be those of general bowel
disturbance, and in third it will be
those of loud and difficult breathing,
The writer has post-mortemed many
such cases and found accumulations of
boards in the mouth, stomach, on
windpipe. A roll of boards may form
and get down by the side or at the root
OF the tongue and penetrate the
mucous membrance. The animal can
not get rid of them; the parts become
intensely swollen and inf1amed, inter-
fering with eating. and starvation will
occur. Plugs of the boards may lodge
at any point between the larynx and
bronchi, producing loud, distressing
breathing and coughing. The foreign
body can not be removed and death
takes place from suffocation. In the
stomach the boards may puncture the
walls. The injury may be so slight
as to cause only mild Inflammation
and Interference with the appetite for
a short time, until the boards become
softened and pass on, or the inf1amma-
ton may be SO severe as to cause
death. The trouble is one that is not
amenable to treatment except in those
cases in which the beard is in the
| mouth.
Effects of Cookie Burrs. Numerous
articles have appeared in the swine
breeders journals and agricultural pa
pers indicating that young cockle-
burrs were poisonous to hogs and
| calves. While the cockle-burr is young
and only three to four inches high it
| is very fieshy and tender, and renshed
| by stock. The claims of poisoning of
stock attracted sufficient attention that
the Indiana Experiment station made
a chemical examination and a feeding
test to determine the poisonous prop
critics, but in both the results were
negative. The young plants, stripped
of the burrs, were fed to calves, pigs,
rabbits and guinea pigs. They were
| allowed all they would eat. In no
| case was any untoward effect noticed.
We have been called upon to post-mor-
ten some animals claimed to have died
from such poisoning, and in all cases
| death was due to burrs. A few burrs
would be swallowed with the young
plants, and their horny prickles
would irritate the stomach wall and
cause Inflammation, which finally
terminated in death. In three cases
the burrs lodged in the throat and
could not be expelled.

With the hope of breathing more of the
spirit of devotion and worship unto

with more of THE beauty of holiness. y

service, oar very purpose is defeated.
With this thought in mind, only the
