AGRICULTURAL.
Skinnina: the Land Must Stop.
Look at the statistics of our agricttl
tural department. In every, one of the
States, in the North, iu the fcontb, in the
East and even in the West, the yield per
acre of all the great cereal crops has been
steadily declining ioce the early years of
the century. The American farmer has
impoverished the soil and then gone
West. It is not certain that this process
has even yet been arrested. The
last statistics available for general com
J prison are not yet reassuring. The New
Ingland States have held their own, not
by means of improved agriculture, bat by
the general establishment of manufacto
ries. The same process has been going
oo that converted the fertile lands of Vir
ginia into pine barrens. Thousands of
acres iu the Eastern States have beea
abandoned as practically worthless.
Meanwhile the streams of immigration and
emigration have been going oo. The
Irish have come to Massachusetts, the old
farmers of Massachusetts have gone to
Ohio, the people of Ohio have gone to
Indiana and Illinois, and the people of
Indiana and Illinois have gone to Kansas
and the farther West. Ever westward
has been the movement until the current
has come to a stop on the slope of the
Pacific. At length ' there is no West to
whose virgin soil we may flee. Our
farmers no longer have the alternative of
starving or moving West; they have the
other alternative, the one which has long
confronted the farmers of the old world,
starvation or a better knowledge of the
conditions under which nature will yield a
bounteous and a profitable return. Nay,
are we not in a worse condition than our
European neighbors have been? For,
alas, we have no unsettled America to
which we may flee for land at a nominal
price. President C. K. Adams, Cornell
University.
Managing Manures.
Among some farmers there is a com
plaint that their horse manure "fire fangs"
or passes through the heating process
which is so intense that the manure is
well burned up. This is exceedingly in
jurious to the manure, and can, and should
be prevented. It occurs, or is liable to
occur, when the manure is thrown loosely
into a pile, and without being disturbed,
will commence to generate heat. Horse
manure has a stronger tendency in that
direction than that ot most any other ani
mal, and this can be prevented, and the
value of the manure maintained, if at
tended to as it should be. There is no
trouble where, as is sometimes the case,
horse manure is cast into the hog pen, as
... tt is then worked over with the hog ma
nure, whereby both are improved. An
other method which is equally as effectual
in preventing healing, is to cart the same
under ashed, wnere cattle are accustomed
to tread or to lie; when packed thus
closely, and wet, as it occasionally must
be, by the urine of animals, it is kept
moist -until wanted for use. The same
Eractice in connection with sheep would
e valuable, and equally as effectual. We
have always found that any manure that
is left to itself, thrown loosely into a pile,
was liable to become heated, but when pack
ed tightly under the tread ot animals, would
be preserved with all its manureal value
retained. Sheep manure, while thus kept
closely packed, excludes the air, will not
heatrbut when loosely pitched into a pile
will soon heat and expel the valuable ele
ments of fertility.
The Mischievous Cut Worms.
Some of them ascend trees, shrubs aud
other plants in their destructive work,
while most of them confine their opera
tions to the surface, and work their mis
chief, by cutting off young and leuder
plants even with the ground. Their work
is done at night, and as day-light ap
proaches, they hide themselves in the
ground. Cabbage, when first set out,
and lettnce and other plants of the garden,
up to squashes, and other plants of the
farm, are attacked by them. Growing
muskmelons and watermelones for North
ern markets, is now an important indus
try in the Southern States, especially
within easy reach of the shipping ports,
some hundreds of acres being occupied by
watermelons alone. The grower of mel
ons, as well as of cabbages, etc., finds
that bis greatest obstacle to success is. in
the attacks of cut-worms. Various de
vices have been proposed to ward off
their attacks, but among these, none ap
pears to be so sensible, or so effective, as
that devised by Dr. A. Oemler, author of
"Truck Farming lor the South." Dr.
Oemler kills off the cut-worm before the
plants appear. Upon his watermelon
fields be sets poison traps at about fifteen
ieetjjapart ech way. These "irap" are
cabbage or turnip leaves, which have
been moistened on the concave tide mid
then dusted with a mixture of Paris
green with twenty parts of flour. These
leaves are placed over the fields, poisoned
Bide down, at the distances above stated,
before the plants appear. American Ag
riculturist. Canning Tomatoes.
A lady -writer in Purdy's Fruit Re
corder, gives the following interesting
account of how she succeeds:
"We have ten acres of Iruit of all kinds
and I take a great deal of pride in canning
fruit. I get nearly all the prizes at the
fairs. I wish you could just peep into my
Cellar to see ' my tomatoes and peaches,
some canned last fall and some a year
ago, not mentioning myt other fruit. I
will tell you how I can my tomatoes, both
red and yellow. I pick the apple toma
toes the smoothest and best shaped
and acald and skin them very carefully;
take the stem out with a penknife, taking
care not to cut the tomato so as to let the
juioe or seed run out, then I place, them
in the cans, some of them with the stem
end next to the can and some with the
blossom euds; then I take the juice that
has run out of what I have peeled to cook,
having no feed or pulp, and adds little
salt, and pour on my whole tomatoes
until nearly fall; then place them in a
kettle of cold water, and let them cook
till I think they are hot clear through;
then I seal them. I use nothing but glass
two-quart jars and after the oover has
been on about five minutes I take it off
o they will settle, letting the gas out;
then I fill n with juice 'and seal again,
and my cans are always full to the oover.
A great many have not learned this.
Tou have no idea how nice they : look
through the glass; they show every vein
and rib and look as if they were put up
raw, and when used they are just as if
they had been taken from the vines and
if you don't believe me try it this sum
mer.. I always keep my fruit in the dark,
and it don't fade through the glass.
' 131" Sowing turnips and plowing for
oats is now in order.
The Time to Plant Potatoes.
The universal custom among our peo
ple seems to be to plant Irish potatoes in
February and March, for early use, and in
July and August for late use. A little
experience on the part of the writer bas
caused him to doubt the wisdom of this
practice and at least to suggest a change,
or a fuller experiment. The experience
referred to is this:
In the summer of 1886 I sowed turnip
seed on the square in which I had raised a
most bountiful crop of potatoes. 1 here
were a few of the potatoes which were
left in the earth. - These came up with
the turnips and produced small potatoes
which lay in the ground all the winter.
Early in 1887, when 1 begau to turn over
the land, I found these potatoes sprouted
and beginning to come up. Without any
special care, I left them. Nor was any
more attention given them, save to spare
their lives while cultivating my early
cabbage.
The Boil was very highly manured, and
of course, the potatoes shared this. They
soon outgrew, not only the other vegeta
bles in their vicinity, but also the regular
crop of potatoes to which I gave special at
tention. At the usual time for potatoes
to be used, I went to my regular "patch"
for them. There were plenty of medium
sized and small but none very large to be
fouud, though thorough search was made.
Some days later, upon going to dinner,
I found a dish of tremendously large pota
toes, which caused an inquiry as to where
they were obtained. Imagine my aston
ishment when I whs informed that they
had been gotten from one of these "volun
teer" vices. A like result was obtained
from eaoh of these "volunteers."
In conversing with Rev. Dr. Bailey, of
the Biblical Recorder, a few days later, I
found that be hai a similar experience,
one vine producing twelve potatoes nearly
as large as a man's fist. These things
have caused me to think that possibly we
might improve upon Irish potato culture
by changing the time of planting. We
shall be glad to have some of our farmers
make the experiment and give us the
benefit of their experience. We would
suggest the planting of small potatoes
from the first or middle of November.

Swelling of the Udder.
Swelling of the udder, or garget, is
sometimes caused by rheumatism, and is
not always an immediate effect of inflamma
tion caused by parturation. It sometimes
results from cold taken by the cow lying
in a wet field, or upon cold, damp ground.
It is always accompanied by fever, or by
a chill, during which the animal shivers
and trembles. The proper treatment con
sists of removing the fever by a dose of
Baits, and afterwards giving saltpetre
(nitrate of potash) in half ounce doses,
twice in oue day. If there is a chill the
animal should be well rubbed with
woolen cloths, made hot, and then wrapped
in some hot blankets. A brisk purgative
should be given, and the udder fomented
with hot water for two or three hours.
The milk should be drawn by a milk
tube, and to facilitate this, a weak solu
tion of soda should be injected by means
of a syringe.
f3f" Many California women culti
vate fruit farms. They can do much of
the work, such as picking, packing, mak
ing raisins and canning fruit. Crystal-
ized figs and apricots are the products of
woman's labor, as well as jellies, jams and
marmalade, which are sent all over the
world.

A Sluggish Liver
Causes the Stomach and Bowels to be
come disordered, and the whole system
' to suffer from debility. Ia all such
cases Ayer's Pills give prompt relief.
After much suffering from Liver and
Stomach troubles, I have finally been
cured by taking.Ayer's Cathartic Pills.
I always find them prompt and thorough
in their action, and their occasional use
keeps me in a perfectly healthy condi
tion. ltalph W eeman, Annapolis, Md.
Twenty-five years ago I suffered from
a torpid liver, which wa3 restored to
healthy action by taking Ayer'a Pills.
Since that time I have never been with
out them. They regulate the bowels, '
assist digestion, and increase the appe
tite, more surely than any other medi
cine. Paul Churchill.Haverhill, Mass.
INVIGORATED.
I know of no remedy equal to Ayer's
Pills for Stomach and Liver disorders.
I suffered from a Torpid Liver, and Dys
pepsia, for eighteen months. My skin
was yellow, and my tongue coated. I
had no appetite, suffered from Het.d
ache, was pale and emaciated. A few
Itoxes of Ayer's Pills, taken in moderate
doses, restored me to perfect health.
Waldo Miles, Oberlin, Ohio. -
Ayer's Pills are a superior family
medicine. They strengthen d invig
orate the digestive orjrans, create an
appetite, and remove the horrible de
- pression and despondency resulting
from Liver Complaint. I have used
these Tills, in my family, for years, and
t'aey nevor fail to give entire satisfac
tion. Otto Montgomery, Oshkosh, Wis.
