oraft at Home and Abroad.

It is "a years since the late Sena-
tor Hoar, in a moment of uncharacter-
istic bitterness, declared that IL there
were any one art in which America
surpassed all the rest of the world 1t
was the art of corruption. If Senator
Hoar were still alive, we doubt If he
would say today, what he said in
1876, apropos of the Centennial expo
sition in Philadelphia; and we doubt
IL quite so many would agree with it
now as did agree with it then. Amer
leans travel more than they did then,
and learn more about the troubles OF
other peoples and governments. Com
ing out of a foreign hotel and finding
every emp,oye who has rendered the
least service, or even gone through
the motions, lined up for tip makes
one think better of our own country.

The Stern Moral Law.

We shall get it hammered into our
heads one of these days that this Is
moral universe, not that it is going to
be, by and by, but that it is moral
now, moral all through, in tissue and
fiber, in griste and bone, in muscle
and brain, in sensation and thought;
and that no injustice fails to get its
recompense, now and here. The moral
law admonishes us not to make our
fellow man our tool, our tributary.
Thou shalt treat humanity''-it Is
Kant's great saying-"ever as an end.
never as a means to thine own sell
fish end" Disobey that law, and the
consequence fails. Evade it no man
ever does for so long as the winking

with lightning stroke; he is instantly
degraded, beclouded, weakened by his
disobedience Virtue has gone out
of him; the slow decay is at work BY

VINES FOR THE PORCH.

Some Of the stronger growing
vines which can be grown on porches
are woodbine (Ampelopsis quinque-
folia), trumpet vine (Tecoma radi-
cans), Dutchman's pipe (Aristolochia
Sipho) and kudzu vine (Puereria
Thunbergiana). The trumpet vine Is
liable to get into the joints Of the
house and force them apart, so you
can do as you wish about planting It.
1t has very pretty red trumpet-shaped
flowers. Other vines are Actinidia
arguta, with white flowers; bitter
sweet (Celastrus scandens), which
has beautiful clusters of orange col
ored fruit; Clematis paniculata and
C. Virginiana are two very beautiful
vines, which produce a profusion Of
white flowers; Clematis Jackmani,
velvety purple with central tuft Of
pale green stamens; Akebia quinata,
which has chocolate-colored flowers,
and Wisteria Sinensis, having large,
pendent, cone-shaped clusters of pur-

A GOOD SWEET CORN.

For several years I have been on
the hunt for a genuine sweet corn
that would meet the requirements
of hardness, extra earliness and
flavor. l think l have found it, and
whether a sport or the result Of
breeding l do not know, for its his
tory is not known to me. Be this as
it may, it has made good on all the
above points, and that under the most
trying conditions of all my experience
in corn growing. Under the poorest
of soil conditions and drouth that
cut my other varieties nearly one
half, this corn stood up without
finching and matured ears ready for
use in sixty-three days from planting.
1t is a true sweet corn, superior in
flavor to any Of the first early sorts
that I have found, and showed no
traces of smut so destructive to nearly
all extra early varieties.-J. e. Morse,

PEACHES BY DRY FARMING.

Elberta peaches the size of tea
cup are reported by John M. Howell,
of Parker County, Texas, who at
tributes his success as an orchardist
to the practice of dry farming meth
DDS. In an interview, Mr.. Howell
stated that his peach trees did not
have a drop Of rain for three months
prior to the picking for the grape.
"Dry farming, or scientific soil cul-
ture," said Mr.. Howell, "will mean a
great deal for our agricultural inter-
ests, 1t is practiced successfully in
sections Of the country that have far
less rainfall than we have in Parker
County, and there is no question but
that it will do the work If the proper
methods are followed.
"On my orchard tract there has
been practically no rain for three
months. I broke the orchard land
between the trees in the spring with
disc harrow. Since that time / have
cultivated the soil both ways with a
section harrow every week and the
result has been astonishing. There
is fine dust mulch four to five inches
deep over the ground and the trees
are growing as nicely as IL there had
been plenty of rain. The fruit has
grown and matured without rain and
is now ripening into as perfect speci-
mems as any one could DESIRE"

Tungsten.

Little was heard about tungsten
till the last year or so, when it began
to be successfully used as a filament
for electric lamps. The production
in this country in 1909 of tungsten
concentrates reckoned at 60 per cent
of tungstic trioXide was 1858 short
tons, valued at s746,130, says the Geo
logical Survey, whose figures are
based upon returns received from pro-
ducers. OF this amount Boulder
county, Col, produced 1,401 tons, val
ued at $550,2S0. In 1908 the total
production was GIL short tons, valued
at s229,955, and there was therefore
an increase in 1909 of 1,2S7 tons in
output and of $516,175 in value, or
about 200 per cent. The tonnage in
1909 is the largest yet recorded, and
the value of the product was exceeded
only by that of 1907, which was $780,
04S. The average unit price for the
whole amount produced in the United
States in 1909 was $3.50. In the
early part of 1907 the price was $14
but it dropped to so and later to S.
and was still lower for most of 1908

MISTAKE IN HOG FEEDING.

]. l.. Stratton told the Farmers
Institute these sixteen mistakes in
feeding hogs:
1t is mistake for one inexper-
fenced to undertake the feeding Of
hogs unless he expects to make a
study of it and improve upon his mis-
takes.
1t is mistake for the city farmer
living in town to trust the feeding Of
his hogs to the average hired man.
He is not likely to make a success
of it.
1t is a mistake to try to raise hogs
on an exclusive diet. You ask what
kind of feed to give them. I will ask
what kind of feed can be produced on
your farm and in your locality, then
give them variety of it. These feeds
should be given in such relation to
each other as to meet the varied
needs of the swine system.
1t is mistake to forget that the
hog is a grazing animal.
1t is a mistake IL the hog is not fed
in clean place, free from both dust
and mud.
1t is mistake to oyerwork or un-
derfeed.
Ordinarily 1t Is mistake not to
feed the liquid before the solid food.
1t is mistake to feed constipating
food and nothing to correct it.
1t is a mistake TO feed breeding
stuff as If you were fitting It for the
market.

FATTEN QUICKLY.

The cattle should be fattened as
quickly as possible. 1t never pays to
prolong the feeding even though a
man may think he will strike bet
ter market later. While heavy feed
ing is not so good at the start the
amount of grain should be increased
from time to time until the cattle are
on a full feed. Plenty of roughness
should always be provided, and the
herd should have free access to pure
water and good salt. - Farmers

CARING FOR GRAPES.

The rules for grape culture from
the experiment station record, United
States Department Of Agriculture,
are:
The main points in grape culture
are summarized as follows:
With few exceptions grapes of the
Lubrusca species, Of which the Con-
cord may be taken as the type, are
the most satisfactory for general
planting.
A warm, rich, we'll drained soil is
best for the grape.
Almost all vines should be planted
at least eight feet apart.
Strong one-year-old vines are most
desirable for planting.
Thorough shallow cultivation is es-
sential.
The pruning of the first two years
must be done with reference to the
system under which the vine is to be
trained after it begins fruiting. Dur
ing this time the vine should become
thoroughly established.
The best time for the principal
pruning is soon, after the leaves drop
in autumn, but pruning can be done
at any time during the winter when
the vines are not frozen. Summer
pruning consists of pinching lateral
branches in order to encourage the
development of the fruit and the
bearing wood for the succeeding year.
The long arm, short spur system
Of training is usually the most satis-
factory for the inexperienced grower.

recommended.

FOWLS IN COLD WEATHER.

According to good practical author
fly when the cold weather begins the
capacity of the hens for finding por-
tion of their food will be lessened;
hence they must be supplied by the
poultryman. Not only will ground
oyster shells and gravel be necessary,
but green food and water. Green
food is easily obtained by using finely
chopped clover, which should be
stepped in boiling water and fed early
in the morning Witness.

SHEEP ON THE FARM.

An Arkansas reader states what a
few sheep are doing for him. He
says:
l figure my sheep produce an aver
age of about ten pounds of wool at
twenty to thirty cents per pound,
which is from 50 to SO per head for
the wool alone.
l expect my lambs to bring at least
SO per head, depending, of course, on
size and market prices. Total for
wool and lamb, S. to Sc per head per
year.
This is, consider, about an aver
age for common sheep, but with SELL
ing few for breeding purposes the
average price can be raised, which
will mean more profit on the herd.
1 think the average man can take
flock of sheep and will find no trou-
BILE in making S. to Sc and often
much more clear money per head per
year.
/ find that the raising of sheep is
one of the surest profits of any on
the farm, and 1t comes when 1t is
usually needed.

LIME ON LIGHT AND HEAVY SOILS


Sandy soils do not require as large
amounts of lime as are needed for the
profitable utilization of heavy lands
possibly only one-third or one
fourth as much, according to Profess
sor Voorhees,, of the New Jersey Ex-
pertinent Station. In heavy soils COM
paratively large quantities of lime are
needed for the maintenance Of satis-
factory moisture and aeration condi-
ton. 1t is one of the functions of
lime in such soils to cause the fine
particles to flocculate, to increase the
size of the air spaces and to make
possible a more rapid circulation of
air and moisture. Thorough lining
of heavy soils facilitates the escape of
excessive moisture and permits them
to warm up at an earlier date. Va
rious chemical and psychological ac-
tivities are encouraged and the pro-
ductive power appreciably increased.
Lime undoubtedly encourages the ac-
tivities of various kinds Of soil bacte-
ria. 1t encourages the processes of
decay and nitrification. 1t hastens
the disappearance of the humus, but
provides also for a more abundant
supply of available nitrogen to crops.
