Uses of Fallen Leaves.

Forest leaves make an excellent bed.
ding for stables, and at the same time
one of the richest fertilizers. 1t is not
good policy, however, to gather the
leaves from piece of woodland, as
such action will in time exhaust the
soil and cause injury to the trees.
When the leaves blow into ravines
they may BE- gathered and used at the
barn. Dry leaves, held in place by a
few boughs, make an excellent protec.
ton for such vegetables as lettuce,
spinach, onions ETC., as are wintered in
the open air. Leaves forked in about
young trees keep the soil loose and pro-
mote rapid growth. Leaves thrown
into the scratching pen where chickens
are confined in winter are excellent to
give them exercise in hunting for their
food. They also are excellent for clos.
ing the crevices in old pens where
chickens, pigs. ETC., may be confined in
winter. When leaves are yearly re-
moved from a lawn it is necessary to
return to the soil fertilizer equivalent
in value to the leaves removed.-Dr.
George G. Croft, in New York Tribune
Farmer.

Old and New Strawberry Beds

Very rarely have we had a season
more conducive TO the growth of weeds
in the strawberry beds than this has
been. We could not get into the gar
den to root out the weeds for weeks at
a time, and the consequence was that
the plants were almost swamped. He
roic treatment was required to clear
them out. But we have done it. First
we went over the plot with Il scythc,
cutting down all the grass, ragweed
and other foul stuY, This was raked
Off and drawn away on the stone boat.
Then we put good team and plow in
and threw the land bottom up, berry
plants and all. This was followed by
the harrow. This left good seed bed
for the new plants. These we took
from the cid bed of this summer. A
nice lot of runners had grown up be-
tween the rows, and these we trans
ferred to the new bed. A fine shower
coming on shortly after we had finished
the work of transplanting helped to
give the new plants 4 start. Now we
will 60 through the rows with a culti-
vator as often as needed, and also
through the rows OF last years plants
We will save over for one, year more.
1t has been hard work, but we are sure
1t will pay well.-E l.. Vincent, in New

TUNNEL SAFETY SIGNALS.
Are Put at Either End of the Bergen
Boring.

The Erie Railroad Company has re-
Gently installed a system of safety
signals in the Bergen tunnel, Jersey
City, which is hoped will prove a per-
feet safeguard against accidents
This tunnel is about 4,500 feet long,
cut throught solid rock, and the dark
ness of the interior in intense. There
are two tracks, and heretofore iu
case of an accident to a train in the
tunnel there was no means OF pre-
venting a second train from rushing
in and being wrecked in the debris
of the first. The tunnel is now sup
piled with signal boxes located 200
feet apart, with an electric light over
each. In case of accidents it in the
duty Of one Of the trainmen to re-
move a plug from one of the signal
boxes, which Immediately causes the
flashing of red lamps al either end OF
the tunnel, thus giving a signal to
all approaching trains.

farm pays. This is due to the fact that
fertility in the soil is cumulative. the
results Of the first year being but lit
tie, apparently, though every year
thereafter the farm will increase in
productive capacity. The system of
farming practiced will also influence
the future of the farm. Where stock
is speciality the results are nearly al.
ways excellent, and rotation of crops
aid in giving a profit, but the largest
gain is when the farmer uses fertilizers
literally and gives his attention to the
preservation Of the manure produced
ON the farm.

Bees should be kept at a temperature
ranging from forty-two to forty-five
degrees above zero, and the hives
should be dry. The light should be
excluded as much as possible and the
hives should not be exposed to sudden
changes of temperature. An ample
supply of honey should be left for the
support of the bees during the winter.
1t is not necessary to put the hives
under shelter until winter approaches
and If the colony in each hive is not
strong it will be of but little service
until it recovers in the spring Too
much warmth in winter is not con-
duciye to success.

Poor land can never be improved I'M
less something is added to it. 1t is
cheaper to allow time, in the effort to
grow crops to be plowed under, than
to attempt to take scanty crop ffom
the land. When the land is poor the
manure should be concentrated on
smaller areas, and allow a portion of
the land to go uncropped until manure
can be given to it. Time will be saved
however, by using green manurial
crops and fertilizers. The farmer who
pays taxes on poor land taxes himself
unnecessarily.

Salt in the Manure Heap.

Salt in the manure heap will prove
beneficial. As kainit contains a large
proportion of salt, and also a percent
age of crude sulphate of potash it may
be mixed with the manure by turning
the heap over, care being taken that all
portions of the manure be sprinkled
with the kainit. 1t prevents loss of am
monia to a certain extent and adds
potash to the manure, while salt at.
tracts moisture and serves as an aid
to prevent "fire-fanning" of the man
ure. Whenever manure is turned over
the coarse materials should be placed
in the centre in order that they may
more quickly be decomposed

The farmer who has more hay than
ment to have a hay press that he m. :
put it into smaller bulk, so that there
will be room for it in the barn, instead
of stacking it out of doors. 1t will
keep better, and if he has any to sell it
will be more easily handled and sell
more readily at better price. If one
cannot afford to buy press, let those
in neighborhood who are likely to
want to use it unite in owning. The
hay may be stacked until the cutting
and curing is.over with, if one does not
wish to run the press in haylng time,
but the quicker the stack is reduced to
bales the better.

rramping Seed Into the Earth.

Peter Henderson some years ago
called attention to the use of the feet
in planting vegetable seed in dry
weather. If small seeds are sown and
loosely covered with dry earth they Of
ten fail to germinate, or, just after
termination, they lie and perish. II,
however, the earth is compressed about
the seed at the time of planting, such

is very dry. To be sure, il the ground
is full OF moisture, this method would
not be followed

Restoring Worn Out Soils.

When soils are partially abandoned
because of the expense of restoring
them by the purchase of fertilizers,
the farmer has at his command the op-
portunities of green manures. The old
system of farming was to recuperate
the soil by allowing it to rest for a
year or two, by not compelling it to
produce a crop.

PRESIDENT WANTS TO
| END COAL STRIKE.
Calls For Conference Between Strik-
ers and Operators at Wash
ington Tomorrow.

Sion was reacneu THAT the pres1uent
could do more by bringing the interest
ed parties together than in any other
way.
There will be no one present at Fri
days meeting at tltemporary White
House but the principals. 1t is true
that Friday is cabinet day and that IL
o'clock, the hour appointed in the invi-
tations for the meeting of the coal mag
mates, is the usual hour OF assembling
of the cabinet; but, according to the
present understanding, that cabinet
meeting will be postponed.
The purpose of the postponement is
plainly to relieve the invited guests
from the feeling of reserve that might
naturally be created ii they appeared
before the entire cabinet, including
some exceedingly clever lawyers whom
the coal people might not care to meet
in Il business way in the absence Of
their own legal advisers.
So the absence of the cabinet will
give the president All opportunity to do
just what BE- waEts-namely, to have
good heart to heart talk with the op-
crators and Mr.. Mitchell, to induce
them to talk to each other freely and to
reason quictly and soberly and finally
to agree if possible to make conces-
sions on r.ch side which will terminate
the strike. and at least, if this last OBJ
ject cannot be directly attained, it is
hoped that the foundations may be laid
for an agreement in the near future,
perhaps an agreement between the
principals to have further meetings
and perhaps to refer open issues be-
tween them to third parties.
1t is stated positively that the presi-
dent has no assurances from either
side which formed the basis of his call
foG this meeting.
