ton of 1O,4S5, 623 pounds. New York

quantity being 457,65S gallons to 219,-

may yield thirty-two gallons of sap in
a season which should make about
eight pounds of sugar, but it is thought

pounds to a tree. AS much sap will
run from a half-inch hole as from a
larger one, and the wood heals quicker.

The Uses of the weeder.


Some one has said that the weeder
was an excellent tool to use when there
We're no weeds to kill. If so, it is Just
what every farmer needs. There is no
time when the crop is SO much bene-
nted by stirring of the soil as when
there are no weeds in the field, and no
Time when so many weeds can be kill
ed with so little labor as when the
weeds are scarcely visible to the eye,
and IT they will go over fifteen to TWEEN
" acres In day, one can afford to use
1t several times, instead of going once
when there We're so many weeds that
an acre would require 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
break UP and pulverize the crust after
a rain that it may be more absorbent
of the dews and rainfall, and the nitro
gen that is in the atmosphere; to make
an earth mulch which will absorb the
heat, of the sun and attract moisture
from below, are as important as to de-
stroy weeds and weed seeds that are
ready to terminate, and on large farms
this implement will save many a hard

Clover and Alfalfa.


While we have grown the mammoth
red clover we did not like it as we'll as
the common or medium red. The cattle
Gid not seem to like the coarse stalks,
and only on very rich land would it
give better yield. 1t was more trou-
bic to get 1t properly cured, and it did
not with us give as good second crop,
being more apt to be injured By the
drought We were taught to SO weight
or ten pounds per acre of clover seed
when other grass seed was sown on
the same land, but we think we would
prefer now to increase the amount to
twelve or fifteen pounds per acre. Nor
would we SOW timothy with clover,
preferring orchard grass, which is
ready to cut at the same time. While
we had little difficulty in getting a
catch of clover on our rather light
lands, we seldom succeeded to our
satisfaction on strong and mucky soil.
This is said to be the best adapted to
alfalfa, and If it once gets started
there, it will not be easily killed out by
drought. We think where alfAlfa Is
much grown they put on from three
to five pounds of seed to the acre.-Ex-

Insects in 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. If 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.
II is quite infammable and must not
be used near an open fire. When put
at the top of the bin it volatiliZes, and
the gas, being heavier than air, sinks
through the whole mass of grain with
out iniuring it. The usual application
is about a pound and a half of bisul-
phide to a ton Of grain in tight bin
More should be used when the bins are
omen. The bisulphide may be put in
shallow pans or saucers. and thus
scattered over the surface of the bin.
Then close the top and throw a blan-
ket over to exclude the air, leaving 1t
alone for twenty four hours.

has military establishment that is
out of all proportion to her resources

hopelessly restrictive. No tariff laws

Craving Potatoes.

An exchange tells the story of a 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-yearold son, to see
what he could do with ia. The boy
read up little on the potato crop,
bought good seed and gave the field
good care, and harvested 225 bushels to
the acre, or about four times as much
as the fathers usual crop. The story
is-good enough to be true, even II it is
not, but as name and location is not
given, 1t 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-

Goats With Sheep.

In Mexico they keep sheep in focks
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 mole 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.

England Taking TarifF.

The pressure put upon the British
manufacturer is encouraging the CON,
servatives in politics to look more hope
fully upon the prospect of tariff ON
imports, a policy they have favored
for some time. While Great Britain
has entertained but slight regard for
tariff on imports, the marked devel-
opment of the United States under n
tariff system and the decided progress
OF Germany as a manufacturing coun-
try since the tariff became nationals
policy compel England to modify her
views.
Whether the Englishman will call it
coincidence or temporary condition,
the one cherries fact remains that the
countries with the carefully laid tariffs
are those making the most troublesome
inroads on the markets of the British
manufacturer. Great Britain has SO
long depended upon the outside world
for her food products that she has alb
sorbed the idea that tariff would be-
harmful because it would increase the
cost of -four and beef, two things that
the British islands cannot supply in
sufficient quantities. With rivals aris
ing in lines Of trade that England
| looked upon as her own. she begins to-
see that there is a difference between
imports that can be produced on the
| islands and those that cannot.
Whether tariff would be tolerated
| on bread and meat is debatable. A
tariff on mill and shop products is an
other thing 1t would be novel con-
| vert to the tariff doctrine if Great
Britain should join the ranks.-Pitts-
burg Times.
