loyal hearts of the American people
have set day dedicated to the MEM
DRY of the Union soldier? And on this
recurring anniversary, at season of
the year when all nature is bursting
into joy and gladness it is well for us
to gather here to honor the dead and
pay homage to the living.
1t has been custom through all the
ages for man to visit the graves Of
loved ones who have departed. Mem
Org is tie that binds the present to
the past, and the living to the dead.
The theories, the dreams, the visions
of the great beyond, the hopes, the as
pirations, the longings of the human
heart, all unite to turn us back to the
last resting places of our departed
friends. All! how many a son has been
restored from a life Of sin by a visit

Poultry and Small Fruits.

The writer has been much interest
ed in a fruit and poultry farm which
he has visited yearly for the last five
years and the results obtained on this
farm have been such that they are
worth attention here. The owner was
over sixty years old when he took up
this work. He had been a farmer all
his life and had raised both fruit and
poultry to a limited extent AS he
grew older the sons left the farm and
it became too much Of q burden. He
sold it and bought ten acres ON the
outskirts of city of $4,000 people.
At the end OF the first year from
chicks raised and fowls bought he
had ninety-four laying hens. One acre
Of strawberries was also in good CON
dition for first crop the following
summer
At the end of five years he has near
~ three hundred fowls and pullets for
egg production, markets many brollers.

how the necessity Of shallow level

This country has the only produc-
dve and profitable corn belt in the
world. The demand and increasing
Price Of corn in the last five years
lave raised the annual production to
bout 1000, 100000 bushels, and yet
he average per acre for the whole
country is only 24.2 bushels. 1t is a
'ather remarkable fact that on the
DOOR soils Of New England the aver
lge production per acre Is largest
This is doubtless due to the fact that
,etter fertilization. cultivation and
iced selection is practiced there. 1t
very well known that there is great
advantage in seed selection. Many
instances of this have shown that on
he same quality of soils fifteen bush
is per acre have been produced, more
han where the work of selecting seed
vas neglected. Again, 1t has been
ihown that corn growing on lands the
previous year in leguminous crops has
greatly increased in production.

"Houogenized" Milk.

The latest thing We have now is
"homogenlzed" milk. 1t is milk that
has been heated to 1S5 degrees and
then forced against a porcelain plate
under high pressure. This breaks up
the gobules of cream until they are
so fine they will not rise to the sur
face. 1t is said that milk treated in
this manner has been kept for six
weeks without getting sour or show
ing any cream on the top of the milk
