A bad egg is really the worst product
of any. farm, whether it is a hens egg
or just a boy.
An income Of 5000 year on small
farm will enable family to live bet
ter than could be done in city on
$1,000.
The largest orchard in the state Of
Virginia contains 10000 apple trees,
largely the famous Newtown Pippin;
10000 peach trees and 5000 pear trees.
It is located upon the top of the Blue
Ridge mountains.
America takes one-half Of all the dia-
1nOndS produced each year. 1t is no I'M
common thing to see men here not
worth $1,000 wearing a $3.50 gem. fell
lows who are bound to cut splurge
even if they never save cent.
W. have a friend who has let the
blackberry bushes take possession of
his orchard 1t is the old story. While
he got some blackbcrries this year, he
got nary an apple 1t is pretty hard to
grow two crops on the land at the
same time.
In the Wisconsin experimental Or
chaTu the three most promising apples
are Northwestern Greetings Patterns
Greetings and Okabena. This orchard
is we'll north and results obtained
there will be worth much to a very
large section Of the country.
If your soil is suffering from an eX-
cess Of humus, evidenced by too rank
growth Of stalk and straw and impcr-
feet filling of grain, nothing will regu-
late it better than crop Of flax. Not
many men are troubled with this ex-
cess of a good thing, but where it exists
flax will put the soil in a normal and
productive condition.
Almost every man is bit cranky on
something's and we are cranky ON the
matter ofShaving sharp tools to work
with. Work at best is bard enough
without having ITO do it with dull or
unpolished tools. With tools kept in
the shape they should be, much work
that is now rated as burdenEmay be
transformed into a pleasure.
If one wishes to raise roots for the
winter food Of the dairy COW nothing
will be better than mangel wurzels,
the yicld<of which on good land may
easily be as much as thirty tons per
acre. While sugar beets and carrots
are more nutritious ration, the man
gel can be more easily grown and will
produces nuch more to the acre.
An objection to trailing vines around
the house is the pesky English sparrow,
which Is,Ebound to use the vines as
nestingllace.> We noted a large church
in the ffty Of Washington not long
since laxgely covered with English ivy
which tM been so appropriated by the
sparrows with their nests that the side
Of the church looked almost like hay
stack. -
Some idea can be formed of how
much America does to clothe and feed
the world by noting the exports of cot
ton the past 100000 bales of
500 pounds each, 2O0,O0O,OOO bushels of
wheat. 100000 bushels of corn and
no end Of meats. dairy products and
fruits. The world would set but a
slim table were it not for the surplus
of good things obtained from this
country
The possibilities of Argentina as a
meat producer are practically unlim-
tied. This country proves to be the
atural home Of alfalfa. One of the
British consuls located there says that
inside Of ten years Argentina will be
able to furnish the English market
with 100000 hundredweight of beef
and 100000 hundredweight Of NUT
ton, or twice the amount needed to
supply that country.

We noticed 1.-The mistake made in the
management and care of two public
parks recently-parks in two thrifty
western cities of GO0O population. In
one the trees, which were mostly large
elms, had been trimmed up to a point
where the natural beauty of the trees
was destroyed. In the other the trees
had been set in straight rows like cab
bages or corn and were so thickly
