FARM AND GARDEN. LASTING PROSPERITY. What IF'armers Must Do to Enjoy It Coveted Blessings. Ihe press of the country is full of talk about the prosperity of the farmer this year, and many figures are given to shew what an increased harvest of dol lars our farmers will reap. While there is much exaggeration in many of these statements, there is much truth also. Farming is a better business than it has been. Good crops and fair prices for them at the elevator or through the feed lot have put our farmers in Letter position than since 1591, Still there is room for improvement-—not merely in the markets, but in the con ditions that surround farming and farmers, and which directly affect their profits. - There is room for improve ment in production of many farms, looking to a less costly and bet ter product. There is great need of improvement in live stock, both in num bers and quality. Such things as these come within the jurisdiction of every farmer. But other equally important es sentials to greater prosperity lie beyond the farm and beyond the farmerasanin dividual. The greatest prosperity cannot prevail when many of the things the people must have are controlled by com mercial monopolies or trusts. Some classes may receive ineidental benefits from these organizations, but farmers do not. They must sell in the open mar ket usually, and can ill afford to buy in a market that isnot open. Allowing the other fellow to fix the price of so many things is not productive of the greatest prosperity. The same thing is, to a large extent. true of taxation. Too often farmers have allowed otherclasses to impose the burdens which ecall for high tuxes on farms, while the other fellow reaped most of the benefitsthere from. There must be more caution about this, if farmers are to realize the greatest prosperity. Andthere are other matters that enter into this problem, Better education of producers, result ing in a better produet and a broader market: opening of new foreign mur kets; uniformity of production by the individual, and, consequently, the mass of farmers—all these things are esseen tial to true and lasting prosperity. They will not all be attempted, but in what ever degree they are approached so faris farming improved. — National Stock man. EARLY FALL PLOWING. Tts Advantages Considered from n Scientific Viewpoint. The advantages of fall plowing over the same operation in the spring are dwelt upon by Prof. H. Snyder, of the College of Agriculture of the University of Minnesota, . Fall plowing keeps the humus and nitrogen of the soil in better condition than late spring plowing. Nitrifica tion goes on in the soil until quite late in the fall, and in the south the process goes on the entire year. The change is most rapid near the surface, where there is plenty of oxygen from the air. In early fall plowing the available ni trogen formed from the humus is near the surface, where it does the sprouting seeds and the young crops the most good. With late spring plowing. this available niitrogen i§ plowed under, and fnert organic nitrogen is brought to the surface. In old soils the process of nitrification does not go on rapidly enough to fur nish available nitrogen to the crop. Ina new soil the process of nitrification is liable to go ou too rapidly. Deep plow ing and thorough cultivation aid in nitrification. Hence, the longer the soil is cultivated, the deeper and more thor ough must be its preparation. Plowing must be done at the right time, prefer ably in the fall so as not to interfere with the next year's water supply. The application of lime and wood ashes aids in the reduction of nitrogen of humusto available forms,and prevents the forma tion of sour mold. Good drainage is also necessary to nitrification in the soil. In water-logged soils the humus does not decompose normally, but peat is produced on account of the absence of oxygen. We thus see that nitrification, although sometimes a serious source of Joss, muy be largely controlled by care ful management of the soil. HANDY CONTRIVANCE. How to Make Ditching In Insccure Soll Perefctly Safe. It is occasionally necessary to cut a trench through soil that will not “stand up” in the wall of the ditch. Sandy soil is of this nature. To keep the ditch open until a pipe can be laid, HOW TO KEEP A DITCH OPEN ihe plan shown In the accompanying liagram can be used to advantage. A\ stake is driven at one side of the pro posed trench, and is anchored from its upper end as is shown in the sketch, As the trench is deepened a board ix slipped down behind the stuke, an sther stake secured in the same way, aolding the other end ofthe board. As the trench is deepened, the board is pressed down and another added above it, the stakes also being driven down and 50 on till the required depth is ccached. The same plan will probably aave to be used on both sides.—Orange Jadd Farmer. Cure for Scaly Legs. Scaly legs can be cured readily. Put a little soda into warm water; with this wash the legs thoroughly by the aid of a stiff brush and rome good soap. Do this daily. and after each washing dry the legs thoroughly and rub on a mixture of vaseline and zinc ointmeut or use a mixture, viz.: Three ounces of sweet oil and one ounce of sulphur, Foliow this up until the legs are cured. —~Rwal World. Hint Worth Reniembering. An excellent method of estimating the number of bushels «;” shelled corn and grain in the wagon box, bin or sther receptacle is given by one who claims that it is as nearly correct as may be desired, which is that the same space will hold one and four-fifths as much grain as it will'ear corn; hence n eorib that will hold 400 bushels of ear corn, for instance, will hold 720 bushels o1 shelled corn or other grain, ‘ CORNER FEED RACK. ‘llow the Work of Feeding Horses ‘ Can Be Simplified. ~ The importance of having everything #¥ handy as possible in and about the fzirm buildings is not to be ignored. The work: of feeding horses can often be simplified by erecting feed racks, as herewith represented in the cut, in the corner of each stall, right above the manger. Such a rack tukes up little room, practically speuking, and when one is in a hurry during spring’s work CORNER FEED RACK. and the like, he can give his horses their hay ration in short meter, for the inu-k should be connected by means of the chute with the mow overhead. When the grass harvest is gathered, should the barn be crowded with hay, the mouth of the chute over each stall may be covered with a board, so as to prevent hay from settling down into it when not desired. It rarely takes long for enough of the hay to be fed out so that it may be uncovered again.—Fred erick 0. Sibley, in N, Y. T'ribune. AMONG THE POULTRY. Low roosts are what you want. Young ducks will beat broilers. When the chicks are out burn the old nests., If you have poor, saudy land, put poultry on it. The poultry business is very far from overdone. There is an increasing demand for pure-bred fowls. Have a good, strong male bird, and one not akin to the hens. Red cedar boughs are recommendec for hens® nests to prevent lice. The majority of poultry houses are not warm enough for minter. Don’t ship poultry in a coop that is s low that the birds cannot stand up in it. Duck farming has increased greatly in the last few years because it is profit: able. A tablespoonful of lime water in each pint of drinking water is a good remedy for bowel diseases. A double-walled house, the space filled with chaff or straw, makes a warm, egg-producing place in winter, Don’t feed corn steadily for egg pro duction, whatever anybody may say. It is contrary to both reason and sci ence. Many farmers who have kept chick ens all their lives need to study the business, a!most from the beginning, to make a success, for they have paid no attention to it.—Western Plowman FEEDING FOR QUALITY. ’ How the Flavor of Ments Can Be De cldedly Improved. | A variety of feed will produce better | meat than corn alone. There isa recog | ntion of this quality of flavor in mut- I ton and pork, and the barley beef that | is fed right to develop the better qual l ity of beef will in some murkets com mand a better price. That distinct im provement in the flavor of meats can be produced by feeding certain foods, is not so well understood. The sweetest and best-flavored beef we ever ate was | mainly fattened on pumipkins and Hub ' bard squash, in a season when both ' were very plentiful and almost unsal ' able. They were fed to fattening cows, ‘ without grain, the sugar in the Hubbard squash supplying the place of starch, '\\'u- have heard that the bagasse from § sugar cane, after most of its sweet has ' been extracted, makes an excellent ' quality of beef when it is fed to fatten ing cattle. Undoubtedly the same re sult comes from feeding rich corn en silage, made from corn put in silo when it was in the earing stage. It is not merely the succulence of this feed, but lulsn the fact that it contains sugar. ' which is much more digestible than | starch, that makes the beef made by teeding corn in this succulent stage ‘ better and sweeter than it is when it is l fed after the sugar has been changed tg | starch.——Rural World. l Cheapness of Flax Seed. | Considering its nutritive value flax- Isvml is now a cheaper feed than almost lany other grain. But it is 80 concen | trated food that only a little can be fed i with advantage at any one time. We | think that farmers who do not grow flaxseed, ns very few in the east now do might profitably buy some linseed meal, which for feeding purposes is better than the whole seed, and use it with other feeds. The new process oil mcal contains very little oil. It je therefore all the richer in nitrogenous nutrition. It has sold very low the past two or three years, because grains of all hinds have been so cheap. Now that grain is likely to be higher oil meal will also be dearer. But it makes 80 rich manure that aside from its feeding value this alone is likely to be nearly as valuable as the cost of the meal, besides its value for feeding.—American Culti vator, Hold On to Your Sheep. It is folly to ledve one branch.of the live stock business for another, when other men are doing the same thing, sc that prices are utterly demoralized Nothing but loss can be the result of such a procedure. The time to buy is when every man wants to sell; the time to sell is when everyone wants to buy A short time ago stockmen were tumbling over one another trying tc dispose of sheep, practically giving them away. Of course, any sane man ‘could see that the outcome of such a practice must, sooner or later, make ‘ sheep paying property. So just hold on | to your shecp: that is, all the best of ‘ them; the sooi~r the culls go, the bet- ‘ ter, but, the good ones, feed up and Breed up and be ready to take the re- | ward.

Prince Luigi's B\;dltlol Answers } Questions About Mount St. Ellas. || The expedition of Prince Luigi od Savoy to the summit of Mount Bt. Elias has determined two facts of importance to the scientific world. It has fixed once for all the altitude of Mount §t. Elias at 18,120 feet. The figures are subject only to such slight corrections as may change the total 30 or 40 feet either way. The expedition has also auswered definitely and in the negative the question 80 long asked by scientists as to whether or not St. Elias was at one time a great volcano. There is ot the slightest indication of volcanic ac tion anywhere. A new glacier was dis- | covered by the explorers from the eminence of Mount St. Elias between the Augustu mountains and great Lo gan. It takes its course apparently to the zea, and was named by the princr *Colombo.™ The route was absolutely unknown. The advance up these glaciers and mo-, raines took 39 days, or until July 4, on ‘which day the prince declared for the entire party a general holiday. At Pin nocle pass was found the first evidence of Russell's expedition in 1891, in the shape of a tent bottom and a single rusty fork. Finally the foot of the divide con necting Mount St. Elias and Mount Newton was reached with a supply of provisions to last 12 days. The elevation wus 8,000 feet. The Americans in the party raised the stars and siripes over the camp in the great hills and Prince Luigi and bis party cheered again and again in honor of the flug. At one o'clock on the morning of July 31 they commenced the ascent of the great mountain. For 11 hours the up ward climb was made, and exactly five minutes before 12 o'clock the summit ' of St. Elias was beneath the feet of the ex plorers. When they reached the topmost peak there was neither wind nor fog, and the ihermometer was only 20 below freez seg. The prince planted the lialian flag on the topmost peak and photographed it. He then cached the ltalian and American flags. The prince does not copsider the ascent difficult excep: for the last few hundred feet, which is a aulid mass of ice.—Chicago Inter Oceun. QUEER RACING. Massachusetts Offers n Housc-laild ing Counteat an n Novelty. The latest novelty in races is a house building race. The only one so far run seems to have come out a dead heat. Itecently a real estate company auc tioned off a number of lots in Western avenue, Westfield, Mass,, and with the tdea of booming the neighborhood of fered prizes. Five hundred dollars to the first, S3OO to the second, was offercd tke builders of new houses. One of the lor purchasers, a contractor named Rivers, began at once to build. The work wuas not hurried at first, as there was apparently no competitor. One ap pcared, however, four days after work hud commenced. A Mrs. Lee was the owner, and night ard day men worked on her building. Rivers responded with double gangs of men, and for several days the race went on without a pause until both houses were finished almost exactly together. The Rivers house, which was built in nine days, has nine rooms averaging 14 feet square, is trimmed with hard wcod, is wired for electric bells, has a furnace and running water, and is cumpletely painted outside as well as papered and decorated inside. The Lee house is not so complete, lacking a fur nace and gas fixtures, but it was com pleted in five days, thus breaking all records so far as known. Both sides claim the SSOO prize. About 20 men were employed on each building and every device known t. up-to-date car pentry was employed. Both housesare attractive in appearance and show no sign of haste in construction. During the ruce the houses were visited by hun dreds ‘of people, who cheered on the workmen in the novel contest.—N. Y, World, A Trick of the Camera. ’ The Catholics of Hastings and Bt. Leonards are going to celebrate the Au gustine thirteenth century by paying a visit to the ruined chapel of St. Mary in Hastings castle. In former days this chapel was a place of considerable im portance, being served by a dean and 12 prebendaries. At the reformation it met the fate of so many similarinstitu ticns, and was given by Henry VIIL to oune of bis favorites. It is now in the pessession of Lord Chichester, whose family have done much to preserve the tottering walls which crown the old Cmque Port. Considerable curiosity has been aroused in local Catholic cir cles by the discovery that in most, if not all, of the photographs of the ancient chapel a trick of light discloses the figure of a woman in a flowing garment and veil, standing in an tttitude of de vction before what appears to be a stitue of the Madonna and child.
