Tips on House Plants.

Palms are much used for interior decorations where there is no direct sunlight. Regular watering Is essen tial, with especial care not to over water. It is better with most palms to keep them a little dry than too wet While small wash the foliage occasion ally with soap suds made from a good soap. Immediately follow with a thorough rinsing. When too large for this, spray the tops frequently with clear water. a-
 Browning at the tips usually comes from overv ring at the roots. Trim off the brown tips, as they will never recover. If the leaves turn yellow look for scale on the underside and be sure you are not overwatering. Wash the scale off or spray with kerosene emul- sion or whale oil soap or some nicotine preparation. Do not repeat too often. If a palm grows three new leaves year 1t does well Use the same treat ment for oleanders.
 Rubber plants are especially satis- factory to grow where there is e good light without direct sunlight. Water often enough to keep the soil moist, but do not under any circumstances permit water to stand about the roots nor allow 1t to become bonG dry. 4 potted plant set in a jardiniere needs especial care not to overwateF. Wash the foliage frequently with soapsudg and rinse at once. Repot occasionally, as the pot becomes full of roots. Feed Ince in two to four weeks with dilute solution of nitrate of soda, a heaping teaspoonfui dissolved in water, or am mOnia water.

For the production Of seed the

AS forage crop, cOw-pea hay is
as valuable as red clover hay. Th"

AS manure crop this plant is very
valuable, rs it greatly increases the

SIS worth OF fertilizer, plus a grea.
deal OF humuS (decayed organic

peas, take this nitrogen from the air
and store it in the plants.

POOR FARM IN FINE SHAPE.

III was our pleasure recently to
visit at the county poor farm and to
note the many Improvements that
nave been made there in recent years.
Oconec now has one OF the best coun-
~ farms, we feel sure, to be found in
the State. The farming lands are
being brough, into a high state of
cultivation. and Steward w. r. Cobb
has made the farm and garden to ap-
pear much as though they were an
adjunct to the Clemson station.
MIR. Cobb has good fields of wheat,
oats and rye, and each promises a
good yield. Some OF these crops are
now being harvested. For the fall
crop the mains'ay is corn, and we
found that the poor farm corn 'rOp
this year is approximately 100 acres;
ana 1t is III fine shape. We looked
over much OF the corn crop, and if
there is any grass in any quarter it
must be some isolated spot that Mr.
Cobb has moi found himself. On the
- or more acres that we saw it is
doubtful if one could gather enough
grass to give a COW one square feed
The poor farm presents the finest
crop prospect we have seen any
where, and on every hand the farm
