Nature ha fnrniihed seme land with a porous sub aoit cap.ble of drawing off all ur fl ua moiatare. Most sandy regions have such a aub-soil, and occasionally we find a clay underlaid with a bed of gravel or aand eufficiently near the surface to furnih complete drainage. Ali ouch lands do not need anv artificial drainage, but their area in not large compared with that hav njj a compact eub-aoil. Of the Matter class a large portion is supposed not to need under drainage, aa it is sufficiently rol ing to cause the water to run ofTof it, nd thus does not overtax the absorbing power of tue compact soil beneath. It is probable that it will not pay to tile rolling land now, when much larger profits can be gotten from draining the fl-t lauds, yet the day will come when wo will tile aU of cur rolling land thht haa a tight sub-poil. This belief is haaed upon tho knowledge of the manifold beuelits of tile drainage other than that merely of removing the surplus water. The cll ct-j of thorough drainage are so many and important that it is not ea?y to name the most valuable, bat none i greater than its power to give air to the roots of plants. Roots need air just as much as any other organism, and die without it. I! th-re is u surplus of water on and in the soil for any length of time plants turn jellow and become stunted. They must have air. Tile remores this surplus water and permits the air to enter. The air is partially excluded in any very compact subsoil, and thus tile is b".:ietlcal in rolling lanl, as it opens up the pores through the ground by which the water descends to tbe tile, and the sub?oil is thus brought into a condition that rather attracts than repels the roo's of the plants, not only increasing the territory in which the roots may feed, but encouraging so deep a root growth that drouth ia more easily withstood. The dead water, that which iilU all the air pores, is injurious toad mechanical condition of the soil, at well as to the Yegetahie crowth. by reason of tin exclusion of the needed air. Th surplus of water tends to eo'.ilify rather than to permit of pulverization of the ecii by means oi the air, heat and frost. It li-s realy to raiae ihe top soil bv freezing, and eittier break off plant root or null tlit m out o( the ground. It is a coid body of water in eariv spring, aa 1 require dya of spring beat to evaporate it, but when it is drawn to the tile underneath it it leaves the ground in the best condition for warming by the heated air aud for deeply-rooted plant growth. The time i at hand when we cannot afford to ti 1 Hat land: w.thout underdrainaje, uat'iral or artificial. The deid water j handicaps u. keepn.g us out of the tieid I a' er summer rains, when the j. lantn need ! cultivation. It putties the sn;l and pre- j vents capidary attraction, the ajruy that j draws moisture irotn beneath up to the i plant roots when needed. It oii-n keeps I us from tilling a tield, mot of which is I dry enough lor tiKaiv, becau-e it e.dlecta I in a basin in the center of the nld and ; forms a barrier.

Itifl not the panacea for ail evi s, but it is going to become more and mor ; the foundation of all aiccessiul agriculture. Our Hill Pasture. When meadow land becomes foul the plow is put into it an 1 a tilled crop is raided, fo lowei by a pmall grain crop a:id areeeiinz. It is the thin hillsides that puzzle ui. Rushes and brier spring up on every side and weed encroach upon the grass The man with ueveral hundreds f acres of euch land feel somewhat helpless, while the tsTialier hoider of land keeps thcee pests under control by his own hard labor. If it pays to keep teu acres clean, why net 100? As in all other things the hht agair.st all such gr owth muat be ayref-fcie and constant if one wouM win. If old panares are full of Dushes and briers it i not best to leav3 the cleaning until spring. WLtn the ground is hard frozen ari'l ail iTuB-i and weeds are dead tho ciemin can be done fast. With harp hot's or mattorks cut everything o'. at the eurfflcy of the ground and pile it for b'irninir if the growtn i9 tieavv. This cutting wid kill many of the roots, in the spring t;ck wi 1 eat a grrat deal of the new growth, and during a summer's Jrouth the ground xiiou d be again cleared. "Within two years we become niaeter of the situation ; the growth becomes lighter and can be remove 1 at iea expense. A litt e persistent work make- trie held clean and the growth of grata is Kreativ increased. The foul weeds are bard to handle. Tiik Feniinki. farmer carries a salt of alt. fcung with a strap on the houller. when cutting lhit es and drop a handful on each root after rutting. This shonid be done in dry weather. P.room sage is increasing fait in the North and bids fair to berome as bad a rest with us ae it is to our aouthern farmers. The re- ely is not ay to find and prevention is worth more than any reputed cures. Wheu the plant ia beginning to gain a foothol i it should be careful-y dt-trored. .worni praciice burning over the ground in tho late fall beor tne seed scatters, but it in much batter to cut out the plants earlier in the season. This applies to fields when the E est first app-ars, but it soon gains such ead way that if unchecked it is im possible to treat it in any such slow wav. A watch should be kept for the first plants that aprinar up. Thin patches in oar hill pastures should have frequent receding in the fall. Often the harrow can be used with advantage before sowing the seed, and fertilizers of some kind shou d be used, in this war pastures can be kept fairly good. We have n illions of acres In this country that grow graa! well, but that cannot be plowed with any profit for a cultivated crop. When the grass runs out the land is nearly worthies, a.s reseedinj? is difficult. No Other land on the arm should have more care. If the shrubbery be kept down and aed with fertilizers be ujed on the thin

places, the land grows in value, while if neglected, the task of restoring the pastores seems too great to be undertaken. Grinding Fred for Stock. Does grinding pay? Probably fivesixths of our farmers do not practice it. If there is profit in grinding then the aggregate loss is heavy, it seems strange that the advocates of grinding are so sure that it ia paying them, and yet so large a proportion of farmers continue to feed whole grain. The writer believes that it para to grind or crush all grain for s ock, except poultry and possibly sheep. Poultry manage whole grain perfectly, and the weight of evidence in favor of feeding ground grain to sheep is not as great as in the case of other stock. The benefit from the ground food does not come who ly in the aid to digestion, and when fed alone it may not pay for g.-ii ding. Hordes usnallv bolt their grain too rapidly, and the saving comes fmm mixing the meal with cut hay or fodder. Corn and oats shou d be ted together, and when ground and mixed with a little dampened roughness, it is safe to count on a saving of one- ourth of the grain if not more. Hordes d-j better when a little oil meal is given them, and it is more effective when mixed in chopped feed of some sort. The best balanced ration can be formeil from ground food. It Is easier to throw corn or oats into the feed box and let the horse swallow it half masticated before he touches his hay, and we are often inclined to follow the old and easy way, but the number of thoe who do this is crowing lesn as we learn more of the science of feeding and feel the need of practicing more economy. In so'i.e of our be-t stock sections grinding feed is nearly universal, but in some of our great Mates the wasteful methods prevail without scarcely an exception. In successful dairying grinding feed is almost a necessity. We be ieve that those who have begun grinding and mixing their feed would not return to whole grain feeding. Smnt of O.it. The Michigan station says: The spores (seeds of the smut) attach themselves to kernels of oats and are sown with them. When the kernel germinates the smut spores also germinate and enter theyoung plant, growing and subsisting on the inside of the plant until finally when the hea 1 appear." it is .smut instead of oats. It has cost nearly or quite as much to grow the affected plant as a healthy one. Certain conditions of soil or weathor may be more favorable to the growth of smut than others, but let it be distinctly understood that its presence is not due to any condi tion of oil or weather. We sow s i ut and we must reap smut, The wind may carry the loose, powdery emut over the fields, and the spores become attached to the kernels of the oat. These spores are so binall that they cannot be seen with the naked eye unles; there are mtny together, but they are ready to be grown when the oats are sown. Probably the thrashing machine is the most etb-ctive way of

i bringing the spores into contact with the j oil eed. A fingle kernel may have thou I sands of thc-e spores attached to it and not be ohn-rved. These adhering spores may be kil.ed by dipping the seed into hot water tor a few mitiutes, and not injure the vitality of the eeed. This method, known ac the Jenn or hot water method, w.ig discovered by J. L. Jensen of Denmark in IST. The Feeding Ynlue of Stover. The amount of stover that is left in the fields to be bleached and otherwise damaged by the winter rains indicates that it? true feeJin va ue is not yet appreciated. The handling of it is not plefl-ant, and its bulk makes housing cosily, but the nutriment it contains ia too valuable t justify the preent wasteful ways of not a few of o ir otherwise good tanners. An acre of etover is worth considerably more than a ton of timothy hay. The n itriinnt it contain is greater and the eii'cci on atoe'e is better in all wavs. We have ure l the importnn'-e of this leedni Stull" on our readers before t!ii, and the iie'-risity of caring for it. To any , who may be inclined to doubt the correctness of our statement the following I estimate of a five years' experiment by j the Massachusetts experiment station is i commended. Comparinoa of the value of j en-i!afc'o and f idder corn icorn grown ior fodder) with that o: hay is a.o valuable. The li iU.t'ui ays: 1. The high nutritive value of fodder corn, corn s over and good corn ensilag, as compared with that of Kngbsh hay. counting in all instances pound for pound j of dry vegetable matter, is lu ly confirmed. ; The general condition of the animal on trial, as well as the quality and th quantity of the milk obtained, point in i that direction. j 2: To produce one quart of milk, using I the fame quality and quantity of grain i feed, required in every instance a larger i quantity of perfectly dried bay than of either fodder corn, corn stover or con ensilage, in a corresponding state of dryness slower leading. Tue net cost of feed in the case of the j same ration of rrain feed is from oneI third to one-half less per quart of m'nk, j when fodder corn, tora stover or ensilage serve as substitutes for K-igiish hay j in the daily d et of much-cows, corn ftt der as a rule leading, wh.!e corn stover j ladrt the corn endiluge in four out of six cases. To 1- Coiniit-ril-d. It is noticeable that ail the winter meeti in: are giving un unusual amount of at- ! tention to the production of better ciieese and :h ; building up of the home trade to : a larger extent. The cheene makers are ' not, cs a rule, trying to please the home 1 consumer, iroing too much on tho euppobitiou that the consumer in Kurope is a I better 1 uyer .han the one at home. I (Iheebe should liOtonlv have a pleasant : but ery l'avor but a digestive qutlity as ' well. A good cheese should have fully 1J11 j per cent, of its weight butter fat. When j this is secured and the cheese properly ! male there will be no reason why '.HI per cent, of the people should sav that cheese ! does not agree with them. The patron of a factory ahoull be one of the most interested of the parties not how poor milk ; can I furnish and yet have it accepted but bow good ruiik is needed and bow beet ; atta ned. Cleanliness from stable to curing room is a great desideratum. The factory man should ! as tidy about tho factory and its appointments aa the model housewife. , The factory and its surroundings may be j more red-dent with germs aud ferments j than the stable and its surroundings. : While the cow should have good air, watcr and wholesome food and irood care, j the factory man wanta pure water at the factory, bright utensils, tauka and vats ! that can be depended npon to fulfill the requirements of aids. Milk too old, overI heated milk, mi k not areated properly, I mixed miik of di ferent ages, etc., are the ! things one must closely watch or else I trouble is ever creeping in. When tbe I great bulk of cheese in this country is i made as good as the present best, we shall j export very little, if any cheese, aa we now : consume nearlv 40).OJ,0r) of the WX),UOO.'JOO pounds annually made. IJce on Mock. A good farmer may get lice on his stock. If a single animal is unthrifty it may spread them throughout the stable. For this reason great care should be taken, and these pests routed at their first ap-

pearance. The r?medis that are advertised so extensively are not needed. Grease is destructive to lice, and It ia for this reason that they cannot thrive on fat animals whose hair is fud of natural obiness. A good exterminator is made of two parts of lard oil and one pnrt keroaene. When an animal is badlv infested two applications should be given. The treatment should be followed by a liberal use of the co'iib and brush to open up the pores of the skin. Another re l edy even better than oil is a mixture -f starch and water, trade bv boiling potatoes thoroughly done and mashing them in the wa er. It phuld be applied as a wash in a very thin etat, and the app'icaion should be fob owed by a good currying. It is r-afe to say that tens of thousands of head of stock are suffurinz more or less by reason of this pent, and the application of one of these simple remedies would not only relieve them, Put save their owners iro n constant lo6S. It-lnriiiiu;. Cattle needed horns as defensive weapons when running wi.d over the plains, but of what use are they now? If they ara not a benefit in anv way and are an injury in many ways, they should go. What is more cruel than to permit a vicious steer or cow to horn and bully a meek or weak fellow from morning until night in a feed lot? And yet this is seen every day. Some of the men who permit this cry out against the alieg-d cruelty of removing tho horns. Dehorning, iike tooth pul ing, must hurt for the moment, but experiments with dairy cows prove that the suffering does not last, as the How of milk is not disturbed in any marked degree. At least the calves should be 'dehorned" by the use of a caustic on the incipient horn before it appears. See i Fot.ntoe. It 's a demonstrated fact that the largest viel 1 of potatoes can begotten by planting whole tubers of large size. They furnish plenty of vitality an i nutriment for the stalks, l'.ut their cost is so great that their use for peed is unprofitable. The n -xt best seed is a medium potato cut into halves or quarters. The craze for close cutting of eed is g-dngout. A few who have very ferti e ia::ds and prepare it perfectly, do weli withered cut to the eye. but ordinary eod requires more seed. The safest way for all beginners is to u-e plenty of see l, and as they learn to till better they c:wi increao the eiz- of tubers bv reducing the amount of seed, although the total yield may not be increased. Stored Wool. Will stored woo! loe in weight as some dealers claim? Or will it gain in wc'.'ht as Eome stockmen assert? One needs to know about this when he is deciding whether he will hold or seil his clip. A careful test by an Ohio farmer teems to prove that there is a s.ight uain. We beieve that it is safe to count on very little if any los9 in weight in stored woo.. ii Mutton as Food. There is no more healthy meat than nmttDn. It is preferable to pork and just as nutritious as beef. It is strange that more of it is not used cn the farm. When a b ef is killed there is too much lresh bef to handle, hut the carcass of a young sheep is not so large but that a family cau use it before it becomes stale, if the weather is co d. Our farmer could heln the sheep industry by making a demand for it at home. Heelpen. Ktcal!opd Oysters Take the oysters from the liquor, wash them carefully in a baking dish, grate bread crumbs highly seasoned with pepper and t-altand a pinch of celery seed over them. Add another layer of oysters, an 1 the seasoning, then one of grar-i bread, and so on until the dish is tllied. O veter Salad Take half a gallon of fresh oysters, the yolks of nix hard-boiled eps. one raw egg well beaten, two tablespooufuls of melted butter, a tablespoonful of mutard, with pepper and salt, a teacup of vinegar and four bunches of celery. Drain the iquid from the oysters and put s me hot vinegar over them; set on the fire live minut e ; let codI ; mash the yolks of the eggs and mix all the eeasotiings together and pour over the oyttora and celery. Oyster Pates Line pma'l pate pans with pud paste; roll cover somewhat thicker thrtn lining; put in each of tiie pans a piece of bread to support the cover whiie baking. Make a white hatice of one tablespoon ot butter, two tablespoons flour andonepintofcrea.il. Cut the oveters into smalt bits and cook them in the f iince over boiling WHter. Carefully remove the upper crusts; take out the pieces of bread; fill with the hot oystere aud serve at once. To Fry Ovsters I'se the largest and best oysters: lay them in a row upon a clean cloth and preps another upon them, to absorb the mdture; have ready several beaten et'gs, and in another ditdi pome finely crushed crackers; in the frying pnn heat enough butter to-ntirefy cover the oysters ; dip the oysters first into the eg's, then into the crackers, rolling it or thetn over that they may become wed encrusted; drop into the granite frying pan and fry quickly to a light brown, berve dry and let the dish be warm. Ice Cream Cake Take the whites of eight egps, beat to a sti i froth, two cups sugar, one cap butter, one cup sweet milk, two cups flour, one cup cornstarch, two teaspoonfuls baking powder. Cream the butter and sugar, silt Hour, cornstarch and baking powder, add the beaten whites of the eggs last. Bake in jelly tins. For the icing, boil four cups ?ugar until it will candy, and pour over the beaten whites of four eggs, aud add one teaspoonbil pulverized citr.c acid. Stir until cold and spread between layers. Cocoanot Cake. One cup sugar, one euo il iur. half teaspoon cream tarter, onefourth teasoon soda, one teaspoon boi ing wat-r, three eggs; beat the yolks of the eggs, stir in the sugar, then the whites of the eggs, beaten to asliiffroth: then the flour, with th cream of tartar mixed through it; then the soda dissolved in the boiling water; bake in three or four cakes in a pretty quick oven; make an icing of the whites of two eggs and six heaping teaspoons of powdered sugar; spread the icing on one cake, then a layer of cocoanut, then icing, then another cake, etc If you use prepared coco a nut you must moisten with milk before using. fia'ald Dressing. Take the yolks, of two raw eggs, beat then with one tea

spoonful of made mustard; this mus'ard should be mixed with water, not vinegar; then add to this, drop by drop, olive oil, stirring constantly until the mixture becomes very thick ; th n add two teaspoons of powered sugar and a scant one of slt ; mix thoroughly ; squeeie in the juice of one lemon : beat well, and if too thi'-k, thin with a little sweet cream. If preferred, omit the 1 mon and cream and use vinegar. This dressing with lettuce, ce erv or potato makes a delicious salad.

There was a dramatic termination to a gay social gathering here Saturday night. A laro number of young people had gathered at the home of Myers Pollock, and the fun ran high. All went merrily until it was time for the wine. Then Nathan Pollock, the aged father of Myers Pollock, took a bottle, poured out a rap of the liquid, raised it and proposed a toast for his eon and the con pan y. He drained the giais and groaned aloud. The liquid was carbolic acid, which he, partially blind, had mistaken for wine. Pollock was dead in less than bait an hour.

PORK OPENS LOWER

Contrary to the Expectations Brokers. of CHICAGO. Jan. 9. Contrary to predictions May pork opened at $18.45 this morning, a break of '2öc a barrel from Saturday's cloning price. This was due to the heavy selling orders received and the underestimation of hog receipts. About 30.000 hogs was the estimate for today, but according to the report of various houses anywhere from 31,000 to So.OOO were received. Specu ators w&nted to realize and especially that portion known as "tue country," and nearly every order was fil.ed from 518 45 to S1S.42, tha low mark of the day. Then the "big fei ows" started in and the product was run up to 51!.1'A, Closing strong at S11U)7$. The trade is yet undecided aa to whether there is a corner in pora or not. May is a long way ahead aud it feems improbable that anv syndicate is at work on a corner for that month Still pork is scarce, and though at present the clique suspected is "scalping" on the market, there is a general feeling among the traders that there is danger of a 'Vquet ze" later on. Cudahv end Wright have been absolved and Philip D. Armour is given credit for the rapid advance. Armour ran a deal in pork several years ao, according to general belief, in which a number of prominent traders were badly "sqeezed." J'ut lor the nervous and etrong market for pork Hnd ribs it would have been a day to rememhf-r cn the hoard of trade for its phenominal dul'nees. Some of the apathy shown by the traders was ascribed to the election in progress for president and directors, but there was nothing in the news of a stimulating cb praeter and that was probably the main cause of the day's dul ness.

The northwestern receipts were small for Monday, but the local receipts were near y 175 cars above the estimate, and the trade was inclined to w.iit the announcement of the vieible supply, which was late in coming in. The reports showed a smaller incra-e than irenerally expected and tended to ktep prices rather lirm. The provision market was very unsettled, and for u time it looked as if the hinh pn. es were at an end. There was a large element in the regular trade that sold early. Crain bonces helped to raid the pork market. ComtnisMon houses had selling orders from the outside.
