The writer can remember when farrnera apoke of "reating" their fields ia the ganio tense that we apeak oi resting our bodies. The idea was that the land waa tired," and that inactivity for a year or two gave it better heart for the work of producing better crops. This o'd idea is well exploded aiace we havo learned something of eoi s, plants and plant food. The land was "tired" not ot worn, but of trying to make a crop without good material tired of "making bricliB without straw. It is true that come laud will become slightly more productive when lvinjj bare and idle, and each year brings eome chemical change in its elemeuta that makes plant food available, but this item is an inconsiderable one. The coil is active by naturo. If it ia furnished the material and the eeed and proper conditions, rank growth ia the natural result. If land ceasua to be pro ductive the lesson taught is that ther? baa bdtn robbery: wa have failed to return it that whicli is it due. When lields were permitted to lie uncultivated in olden times they immediately made a growth of weeds and bushes to enrich themselves. The covering made a shade that prompted tho formation of nitratea. The green growth, whn turned under the next year, lurnhdied humu-i for the eoil. The eubaoil and the air were drawn upon for new stores of plant food. The laud was not resting, but working for itaeif. It waa a faithtul servant that supplied ue of its abundance, and then, when exhauecd. was permitted to forage for itseli as best it could. There was no inactivity, no rest ing. When we learned thia truth, it was sen that it would pav ua to lurnidli the land Ith such a crop as was best adapted to the rebuilding of the stores of plant food in the soil. It was found that grass could bo grown and converted into manure bv stock on fields, and vet the land be per mitted to regain its Htrengih. This ia not a fust method, but as it give s some incomo, it is in very g?neral use. The shading of the ground, tlie roots in the eu'ooil and the slow chemical changes each year brine, a!l tend to renew the atorei of available plant food. ihit wo have found faster methods for aiding the soil. 1 it be given such seeds as thoee of clover, peas, etc., it can grow plants that are peculiarly titled to druw from the air and from the deep subsoil beneath. If this growth is plowed under, the Und is ready one- more to produce tajti crops lor u. It asks for no "rests," do periods of inactivity, but it does demand periods iu which to grow such cro;s for its own use. unlecs we supply its wants in a direct manner by app lißiioo oi etah!e manure or other f 'rtili.ors.

Ki:ul Improvement m. The question of rend improvement is being agitated to a decree nuvor before known in this country. Millions of dollar are squandered every year in the socalled maintenance of our highways. In many sections there is little Hcience and less good judgment u.ed in the expenditure of the puhdc ui'juey. Ii a Is aro only half made and ec.sh winter un lo-s the provious summer's work. Tho wator ia not carried away from the sidea of the highway too oiten, and no permanent roadbeds uro pofsibio without good drainage. We have p. itched too much and eiono too little permanent work. All thi 6iiould be granted by any observer of the public roads in two-lhirdj of tho counties in uny sute. '1 ln-re i$, howover. another side of thia question. l'l-rmaiK'nt road beds out. It is easier to criticise present roads thau to pav for better ones. The wheelmen, ir bicyclists, are credited with being the chiuf promoters ot the schomes lor good n ads. All praise to them ior the enterpriso ehown, provided they are ready to pay their full share of the cost. The bills must be paid, and tho farmers' property stands out prominently for txxaiion. In tho decision tho ucluul tax-payer should be prominent. No reader will understand that we aro opposed to road improvement. Far from it. Good ro.iüs area necosity t the fullest iiVttlopciont of any agricultural region. They en banco thu price of property and mako farm life far more- desirable. Our only caution is ti.at our farmers should have ä cans that their counties are not bonded for excessive amounts fcr road construction. Projects are on foot in some states thnt would cot suniu counties irdl ions of dollars for permanent road beds. Let us favor an I help build good roads, but lot cure be exercised that bo not mado so grat thnt taxation w ill be far too burdensome1. The agitation of our wheelmen iä doing good, but it abould not carry any of us bovond our depth. What money we expend should go into the construction of ron iu that wid last, and our makeshift policy should bo abandoned, but wo must not expect to do all at on c nor to incur an indebtedness that will be most dilh-r.ilt to carry. Shoddy Ktilu Wool l'r ices. J. a M View. The Festixel asks whether Mr. Casaiua M. Clay is right when ha eays in regard to wo6l : "TarrilT don't save us ; it keeps out foreign wool of a t grades and reduces the same wool he ro to the price of shoddy from abroad. Let ua Lave no moro protection." I shall not argue the tariff part of th.3 question only eo far aa to aay that if the country will quit taxing the farrnera by mean a of protective tariff's for tho benefit of nii.liouairo manufacturers of nearly all goods wo have to buy, we wiil gladly surrender all the pretended protection the farmer ia given. It is atl foolishness to talk about giving any protection to the mass of farmers in th is agricultural country. What wc want is free markets everywhere. Üut I write this to make a suggestion that I believe important. Shoddy is no moro fit for use iu making cloth than o'eouiaruarino is for a dairyman's tablo. It is a fraud and ia use 1 to decoive the consumer. Now w know that it is right to make dealers teli oleomargarine on its merhe as a substitute, and not to permit them to market it aa true butter. The same rule abould apply to shoddy. When a manufacturer usea it in placo of good wool he 6houid be compelled to stamp tho goods with the word "shoddy'' in such a way that every retail dealer will know the fact. If the goods are not true woolen

goods they ehould not be otTered as such. Tuen, by fixing a penalty for the ealo ot '

"shoddy cloth to the consumer for straight woolen goods, the deception could be brought to an end. If people want atioddy let them have it, but those who want to buy good goods abould not bare "adulterated" stuff palmed off on them. .Such branding will nearly stop the sale of shoddy, and then w;ll the demand fro n manufacturers for honest wool be greatly increased. Let us have all kinds of adulterations plainly brsnded. Give us such a iaw in regard to shoddy, and wool-growers will eee that it is enforced. J. Q. M. Sprajmg Orchards. To the Agrici'lti'ral Editor Si'r: I notice that you aivocite cpraj ing apple orchards with the diluted Iijrleaux mixture. Pleuse amwer: (1) lloiv utroug da you rusk the mixture? (2 uhen iio you apply It? (3) l!or much pars green do you use for the e dlin i; moih and (4) wtiea do you use the latter poisou? Aio, wncre can I get a (prnjer for a txsail orchard oiio that is Lot too expensive. J. I'. Uuow.v. 1. Tha formula for making the diluted Bordeaux mixture is as follows: Copper sulphate four pounds, dissolve in two gallons of hot water; quicklime, four poundä, si ike and make a thin paite. Cool both solutions by aiding water; strain the liiuo aolution and mix with copper solution, alter which add water to make li;ty gallons. 2. Although thie mixture iä for the prevention of the scab ou the fruit, it ahould be uppliud once before tho trees bloom. The germs of tha disease ou the leaves must be destroyed. Tho Pecotid application mav bo made about ten days after the first, followed bv one or two others at reuu ar iniervals. Thro is no doubt but that applications of this solution of copper adds much to the siza and quality of applea by checking diVage of tho trees. 15 and 4. In 'eh ii fly gallon of the Bordeaux mixturo put four ounces of paria green during the secon 1 and third sprayings for the codling moth. Ibe arsenic kills the worm when first hatched and before it enters the apple, and should hfl applied just as soon as the blo.-snms fall. About ten days later, when aprayicg the third time lor the rcab, use the paris ereen azain, making two applications of the arsenic. This will prevent much of the fruit from becoming kuottv and wormy. As to a aprayer, many kinds of pumps ere made. For a emai l young oi chard, euch na many farmers have, a knupsack sprayer with a brass tuoe ten feet long might do very well. For larg orchards a horae-sprayer ia tho only satisfactory size. irVnd to any of the many inanuf eturen of th epraving machine for a catalogue, and you can hardly muke a eriuu mistake.

The rapid advance creatus a speculative feeiing even among tho incst conservative nen. A good iliufitratiou of this is khown in the hoi trade during tho past Bix montl 8. Peed era were more inclined toeell their hogs et 0 CL'nts per Poll im! titan thoy were at 7 conti, recuse tUo advance up to that point had been ;rrrt i!i;tl and no excitem-nt ha ! prcvaih-d. When pr.ci's jumped from ti cents to 7 cnts wiihin a weck i r two, and from thnt on to o centa and 8 C' ii'.s per pound, i'. was a tiüich hur.lt-r milter to buy -toek than it was at a lower figure. Thero aro h"gs slid in tho fted loi for which a higher prico has been refused thau they arc likely to bring ayaiii, simply because the feeder thought that if prices couid go froi 8 centi to ll cents in a week they could go from J cents to 10 cents if they bad tim ei.oui. Tho ido.i does not apply to the bog' market any more than it does any other, but th recent boom in bogs ao clearly demonstrates the poiut we limke that it ia cushy understood. One reason why u good measure of faith can be pinned to tho improvement in the cattli market is became thu advances in price have been alow and natural, livery upward turn has been resi-tel by buyers. It has been a hand to hand light between buyers and srliers for the. pHt twelve months whenever tlie defich'rcy in supplies seemed to justify a riie in values. In spite of tho determined t !! rts of buyers and th d-iii ei'si-d condi.ion of foreign markets fur bei ve1-, values havo b.owiv butsteadiiv sought a higi er plane, and although thfV ; not show as much an advance n ior hogs, in all probability the improvement in cuttle prices wid do tho country more good then th sharp advance in hogs.

On no question do farrnera diTer mors, so far as practice goes, tiinn that of tho quantity tf seed tited iu un acre. Asa rule our mot advanced farmers advocate light seeding. It is claimed that thick seeding always injures ju.iiity and that it is wasteful. Take wheat for instance. One-haif a bushel of socd for an acre beyond the actual requirements moans a loss to this Country oi livUW.Ot 0 hu.-diels. TIih sed required fr our oat acreage is cnoi mou; ry-, b.ir'.ey potatoes, otc, likewise. Who U ri-ht. iho advocate of thin or thick eeeding? Ah depends upon tho soil iti fertility and mechanical condition. When a soil is very rich and tho tilth is fine, a email quatuitr of seed i sutlicieut to grow a maximum crjp. There is a more perfect germination, and tich plant is thrifts. The thinner the sot: the more so3d requirod, str.tngo as this might seem to a on nt theorist. Tho only prominent exception to tills ruld Is in the cjs-j of corn, au'l is due to tho fnct that a grain of corn produces only om; eteik, wld'o plants from most othur feeds Ptool or Lrauch in proportion to the fcrtidty of the laiol and viator of the plant. One grain of who.it may produce thirty stacks iu fertile soil, and it has hern found thatoue gra n iu a nir.e-ir.eh square can ptoduco its share of a big i I i per acre. It the laud is thin, thero is iittlo atooling, and moreplauts are required. Light sodding oi potatoes is recommended. We give the caution that thia applies only to ground in fine tilth. If there bo any clods, or if the planting bo not perfectly done, very small piecss of potatoes of ton send up a spinddog stalk. The ground should be in good order, it is true, but if it is not, do not risk cutting to oue eye. In ordinary soil fairly hoavy seeding will give a largur yield than a less amount, aithouuh the largest tubers are rai-e J from single eyes planted under the most favorable conditions. tue i IVitlllzrr.

The following is an oldfashioned, but vry good, ncioo for mar malade, which I can recommend from ! personal exporienco: Tako uny quantity of orangss (Seville) you please and lift . olfthe peel from these (as vcu would j for milking the iiltlo baskets children 1 like ao much) with the b;in11o of a silver j sjoon, leaving as Iittlo of the while pith as pcs-dldo on them; quarter the pulp and tako out the. pips, p ace the quarters in a pun with enough cold water just to cowr them, uml boil them Uncovered uotil thev aro n'l in a pulp and tho juiro is all extracted. This tnkes about half un hour, but tli exu t time Varies. Bun the juice through a jelly bug and put it utide. Now put thi peeis oil iu a pan with enough lmi ing wa er to cover them thoroughly ; the oppp-Hanro of the pe l chips depend a good deal OU this. Cover the pan very c'ose ami let them boil steadily till you can pierco Ihe skiua easily with the head of a pin. Then drain them well and spread thein oat loosely on alargeduh to dry and getquite cold. If they are not dry and cold before you began to cut them, they will tear and go to rags. Then cut them with a sharp knife Into the finest possible chips, being careful to re move with a teaspoon any of the white pith which may have been left on th

I should have aaid that as von remove the pips from the orango you abould throw them into a err Quarters ama'-l basin of boiling water, and wash them well until all the gelatinous matter round them ia in the water, end stra:n this into the boiling pulp. This liquor adda a good deal to the jellyiuz of the marmalade, and gives a delicate, but not teo strong flavor. Some people allow the pips to boil with the pulp, but this ii apt to make it taste Btrong and rough. Now add the migar requisite to the p! rained orange juice and let it boil sharply for seven or eight minutes till it is almost a jelly, then stir in the chips and let it all boil four or five minutes more till the chips are nice'y cooked; aid four ounces of auar to each pound of juice and cover when cold. The quantity o! tho peel cid pa you add is more or less a matter of triste; and on the quantity of them you use must depend the amount of sugar, as you allow one pound of sugar to each pint of juice and four ounces of Biigar to each pound of chips, bo, of courro, you must regulate the quantity to a certain extent for yourself. I know thia to be a really satisfactory recipe, but it may require moro or less BugRr for dilferent tastes. Only remember marmalade, like every other preserve, must bo made with pure cane stiizar, if it is to be natisfactorv the preserve i must be carefully prepared, with strict ati tentioti to detail; the cover must hi rig idly kept on tho boiling peel, and in every case the boiiicg must be quick or tho i color will sufler, and when the chips are aoueo tney must oe carotuuy watcnei, for if left in a minute longer than is nocostry to sweeten the:u properly they will harden. Yoi mu-t remember that the degree to which your luartnaiade je:ÜM dpcnds a cond ieal on the amount of water you add to the pulp i" the first p ace. and. of course, you nai-'t not fot to nllor.- for tho water in which the pips are washed. I presume it i-i needless to observe that the oranges should be thoroughly weii washed in cold water before you begin to do anything with them. I have given very full directions purposely, as Bo much depends tinon little details, which unless mentioned, Rre apt to escape- uoti -e. If you put no chips at all in the above imrmalade, it makes a most delirious orange jelly, to which, if you care for the flavor, you can add a very little of the water iu which i the pee. s were boiled; but this must be carefu ly done, as this water is fearfully bitter and strong. A teacupful of if to about four quarts cf the pulp would ba ample. Kvcry Man .Should Itead This. If any youn, old or middle-aged man sullering from nervous debility, weakness, lack oi vigor from errors or excesses will inclose stamp to me I will send him the prescription of a genuine, retain cure, freoof cost.
