The NntiouaI-Jobu Drew.

John Drew will be at the National
Theatre next week, and will present
dramatization of that very widely read
novel, Richard Carvel," which has just
completed run of one hundred and fifty
nights in New York City, where even the
newspaper reviewers hailed the prOduc-
ton as one Of the best that Mr.. Drew
has ever offered his admirers.
The performance that will be seen at the
National Will be exactly the same as was
used at the Empire Theatre, New York.
There are over thirty speaking parts in
the play, which was made over for the
footlights by Edward f. Rose. Almost all
the characters In the book have been re-
produced in the play, so readers Of the
story will find much TO interest them In

insects Ina Stored Grain.

Every year after harvest comes the
time of trouble with insects in stored
grain. Concerning these pests, which
work in the grain bin and often do
great damage before they are discover
ed, Rural New Yorker advises thus:
All grain bins should OF course be thor
oughly cleaned before the new grain is
put in. Ii the weevils appear, there
are two ways of killing them. Raising
the temperature to 40 degrees will de-
stroy them, but that is hardly prac-
ticable in most granaries. The most
effective remedy is found In bisulphide
of carbon. This is a powerful poison.
1t is quite infiammable and must not
be used near an open fire. When put
ut the top of the bin it volatilizes, and
the gas, being heavier than air, sinks
through the whole mass of grain with
out injuring it, The usual application
is about n pound and half of blsul-
phide to ton of grain in a tight bin.
More should be used when the bins are
open. The bisulphide may be put In
shallow pans or saucers, and thus
scattered over the surface o. lie bin.
Then close the top and throw n blan-
ket over to exclude the air, leaving 1t
alone for twenty-four hours.

While we have grown the mann 10th
red clover we did not like it as well as
the common or medium red. The cattle
did not seem to like the coarse stalks,

preferring orchard grass, which is

The Uses of the Weeaer.

Some one has said that the weeder
was an excellent tool to use when there
were no weeds to kill. If so, it is just
what every farmer needs. There is no
time when the crop is so much bene-
fitted by stirring of the soil as when
there are no weeds in the field, and no
time when so Inany weeds can be kill
ed with Sc little labor as when the
weeds are scarcely visible to the eye.
and if Il J Will go over fifteen TO TWEEN
ty acres N day, one can afford to use
1t several times, instead OF going once
when there were so many weeds that
an acre would require a days work TO
destroy the weeds. An old farmer used
TO say that field which was so weedy
as to very much need hoeing was not
worth hoeing. But destroying weeds is
not the whole work of the weeder. To

Goats With Sheen

In Iexico they keep sheep in fiocks
of about 1000. and they keep about a
dozen old billy goats with each flock as
leaders and for protection. The goats
fear nothing and are ready to fight dog,
coyote, or anything else. And the sheep
do not seem to be at all scared as long
as the goat is between them and the
enemy. The goats are also more act
i've or restless than the sheep; thus they
lead them over more ground and the
sheep are better fed without grazing
the field so closely. Perhaps goat
leader is what is needed in some places
where farmers say they cannot keep
sheep because of the depredations of
the dogs.

The Nraple Orchard.

The New York Tribune says: Accord
ing to the census or 1890 maple sugar
was made in twe- ty-seven States.
The number of pounus made was b.
952,927. The number of pounds made
was 2.25S,3T6. Vermont led the col
umn in sugar production with 14,12o,-
921 pounds. New York followed with
the production of I0.4S5,6 23 pounds.
New York followed with the produc-
ton of 10,4S5.623 pounds. New York

quantity being 457, COS gallons to 2lS,-
252 gallons for Vermont. A large tree
may yield thirty-two gallons of sap in
a season which should make about
eight pounds OF SCAR. but it is thought
to be a good orchard that averages six
pounds to q tree. AS much sap will
run from a half-inch hole as from a
larger one, and the wood heals quicker
1t Is better not to tap trees until ten
inches through.

Craving Potntnes.

An exchange tells the story of farm
er who had been in the habit of grow
ing potatoes each year. and usually
raised fifty to sixty bushels per acre.
Last year he gave the use of an acre
of ground to his 12-yeat-old son. to see
what he coul4 do with in. The boy
read up little on the potato crop
bought good seed and gave the field
good cafe, and harvested DO bushels to
the acre, or about four times as much
as the fathers usual crop. The story
is good enough to be true, even if 1t is
not, but as name and location is not
given. il may be little doubtful. Yet
we think boy or man following this
plan could get better crops than come
from the too often careless method of
taking anything for seed. and then neg
lecting the proper cultivation.-Ex-
