SOME SPRING FARM TOPICS.

A PRACTICAL TALK ABOUT THE INVESTIGATIONS OF SOIL. Tillage Krndfrt flaut Food AvailableWhy Pay High rrice?-llefuse Salt on Wheat Potato Planter Drill ihr and Checking Potatoes Cleft Planting and How Done-Road Improvements The l'e of Lime The Intlueuce of the Peach Crop Good Hogs and What a Veteran Dairyman Says Abont ThemRecipes. Science has done little as yet for the practical benefit of the farmer in the way of soil investigations. We apeak of available plant food, of fertilization and tillage, but we know little of our soils, except that they in some way furnish suitable conditions for the growth of plante. AVe have learned that when we apply nitrogen or potash or phosphoric acid in available form the roots of plants take it up and growth id made. 15ut there are primary facts about the construction and action of the soil that are highly important to the practical farmer, but which can only be revealed by sr ience. Thus far we havo been left to grope after them blindly and to learn only by haphazard experiment. We furniah to the soil onlv a small percentage of the plant - food crop remove from our fields. Much of it father comes from the air or the soil itself, each year rendering a quantity available a quantity that is considerable in its effects upon crops, but nearly infinitesimal in comparison with the remaining unavailable Etock. There is in our soils a large stock of plant food that is eolubie in water and available when therein sufficient moisture during the crowing eeaaoo, but that is locked ur when water is lacking. All have noticed that a thin lie.d may produce a big crop of grain or vegetables in a favorable year, one of well distributed rainfall, this fact proves that short eros re not always due to lack of fertility, but of soil moisture We may finally learn that the mechanical condition of the soil afTocts crop yields in oris than variation in quantities of plant food. As goxl tillage increates yields, the fiayinc is current, "Tillage is manure." It it explained that tillage render? tho p'ant food available, thus producing the same eilect as manure, by increasing the amount of crop. Mut this Buying only rnliects the old idea that yields are in proportion soleIv to amount of manure, while the iacie doubtless are oftentimes that the tillage benefits chietly by chanirin the mechanical condition of the soil. The water in the noil a the most important t.rnieiit with which, as farmers, ww are concerned. Itn eliecis are many. Science tellö U3 that ")() per cent., by volume, of the soil H ruinate spaces filled with air and water. This proportion varies with the character of the soil, the constitution, shape and arrangement of its particle. Around each particle inf nitesimally pmall is a film of mointure, thin or thick according to the amount of wate. Certain chemicals change the catue of the eoil eo that it retain or expels water more or lue3 freelv. Farmer nave learned that salt and lime belong to thia clas. The elements commonly cade 1 plant food in fe'tilut-ra when dissolved by the moieture oi the ground a'Jtct its mechanical condition. It is possible that science can reveal truths about the noil, and point out methods o: aiTecting its mechanical condition, that wid benefit the farmer more than he now imagines possible. Sufficient available plant food is not all a crop may ned ; tb particles of earth may be in such a condition that plants may starve in the mid-st of plenty. Tha most of our fields yield in great measure to the treatment we izive them with the plow and harrow, but the day will come when s-cience will open Up the way for rendering comparatively unproductive one fertile simply by supplying the agents for a chemical change in the soil that will affect its mechanical condition most favorably. Here is a wide open field and a tew learned men havo already begun a study of the problem. Why Pay llisli Prirev There are certain business principles wed understood in the business world. One of theäe is that a sale ior spot cash on a email margin ia much better than a sale to blow paying customers at a much higher price. Another rule is that it is much better to sell a cash customer at a very slight profit than to lose the eale, and let competitor do the business. The third point to bo considered is that the number of middlemen between producer and consumer determine the number of profits the consumer must pay. Now, if farmers will bear theie three points in mind they can eon see wherein they are losers. When au agent or dealer 6xes a price on a machine he is compelled to make it sufficiently high to cover the average cost of making sains and collections, including a margin to cover lo.-s.-s rom bad debts. If they are excessive in mount, then the merchant is tha loser, but the average lo?a from this source is sever stood by the merchant, (ioods are tlwaya marked to cover this average Jos-, the paying customers are the actual sufferers. The average selling price of machines covers the average expenne of the agent in felling and collecting, besides a fair profit for his time and investment. Whoso fault is it that the prico h so materially increased in this way? The farmer's fault most assuredly. The agent would prefer to have his expenses cut down by selling for cash and by selling to men who can aet up a machine and run it without calling on him to aid them, and could tell them at a much les price. Kefune Snlt on Wlivnt. It is claimed that the winds of the flea carry salt in solution nearly half-way across J inland. Ir. Madden estimates that on some parts of England lying near the coasi r.00 pounds of common salt are deposited every year on each acre. It is Bot impossible that the high crop average of that country is, in some degree, due to th is free application of palt that tends to keep down infect growth, even if ic is not needed for plant food. At inland point. where the air contains little salt, application have been made that increased the yields of wheat to a marked extent. Ten or twelve years atro carefal experiments were made on wheat ground lying within a few miles of our Atlantic seaboard, and no benefit was noticed. In this case the sea breezes fnrniabed all that was needed. If it is a plant food, common soil contains enough for all growing plants. Prof. Shelton seye that salt does not enter into the composition of plants as a necessary element, and therefore is not fertilizer. It kills insects in the soil and also promotes the decomposition of vegetab e matter. It is usually applied in the spring, four to six bushels being sown on an acre. In some English experiments as much as sixteen bnshela were nsed on barley with good effect, but if sown on a growing crop this would seem enough to injure vegetation. Seven bushels is the largest amount per acre that has been ued in this section within my knowledge, and is probably as DiiKh as could be applied with profit, and possibly with safety to the growing grain. Potato PInnter Drilling; And Checking. To the Agricci.tcbal Editor Sir: (1) Doyoaprefsr drilling or eheeklog potatoes?

(2) la the Aspiawall planter a success? (3) Can I aiiorJ to buy a potato planter when growing five or six acres a year? A. B. M. (1) If the ground is naturally loose you can grow more potatoes in drill than in bills. One thrifty stalk every twelve inches is better than three stalks every thirty-six inches. There is often a disposition to seed heavily when drilling, and the result is that there are more small tubers. (-) The planter you name is the one in general use and does its work fairly well. (3) All depends upon your soil and help. If your ground is not suited lo drilling vou do not want the planter. If the soil is at all compact, the seed is more inclined to rot in a rainy season when the ground io loose under the row. The shovel plow when marking gives drainag to the ground, while the planter lets the potato drop on the bottom of the trench which holds the water. If the ground is a fertile loam with eome sand in it, the planter should be a good investment. Cleft-Grafting Mow Done. To THE Agrhxltiral Kditor S r : How is cleft-graftinz done? How can I make the wax? l'leate answer and oblige A Farmer. The operation cf crafting is very simple, and it is strange that farmers having a favorite fruit tree do not more often make use of it to increase their supply. Many worthless varieties are bought of agents, and these stocks can be utilized in producing a supply of the beat fruit. Cleftgrafting is the usual mode used in such cases. The branch should be cut oil squarely, and the stump cleft down a couple of inches or more. A narrow hard-wood wedge should be used to spread the parts. These one-year-oUt cions are cut with one end in wedge shape and two inserted in the cleft, if the linib is lar?e enough. A tranverse cleft may be made, thus admitting four cions in a 1. The only care is that the inner bark of the ciou and the inner bark of the stock join nicely, so that the gap can pass freely. The outside will not be even, as the bark on the old limb is thicker than that of the cion. The wood must be so shaped that when the hardWood wedge is removed there will be no oueuings butweenthe wood of the cion and that oi the 6tock. Then apply the wax, which may be made of resin, beeswax and tallow, one-third part of each. Kou'l Improvements. To the Agricultural Editor Sir: It seems to in ttiat your article on the cost of road improvements should make farmers take time to ue their best judgement in deciding how far they will go into debt for good roads. At you say, ws want better road, bat the wheelmen of our towns are trying to carry us o't our feet about this matter. In my county it is proposed to borrow seTeral hundred thousand dollars and build turnpikes throuh some sections that cannot be made productive for years, if erer, and tlie farmers must foot the most of the bill. It is all right to go into debt when it imyi lo do bo. but tho farmers cannot let the wheelmen decide the matter tor them. it is my opinion that the "rm for good rca li is go:og to leav some eclions of oar country so crippled by debt that farmer cannot pay the tax. We Americaus ko into anything like sl.eop when oueleaps, all follow. There are some counties that cau altord to build costly road, while others must co slow. I'nleas tha

material enn be found near at hand the building of pikes is enormous. Let us do well what we do, but we should think twice before rtuhing into debt heels over head to build roads costing ij.OOJ or mote a mile. Tay pay Kit, Tlie l"ne tf I. line. It seoms to be definitely determined that few soils require the addition of lime us a plant food. The effects of lime on the soil areas follows: (1) It corrects ourtiesa. ('J) It hastens de composition of the organic matter in the .ioil. (.'!) It cause.s the mineral particles of the foil to crumble. (4) I'y producing these ctlects it prepares the constituents of the eoil for assimilation by plant. ome soils are greatly benefited in I hoir mechanical condition by lime. Portions of the red shale sections of the east have enough clay in them to make them sticky and in places the land was very unproductive until the farmers beau liming it, and now the value per acre is more than douLled. In order to ailert the mechanical condition in any great degree, however, large quantities are required, some using from lit);) It 50 bushels to the acre, although U)0 bushels U now regarded as a sutlicient amount, and repeated applications of halt that amount still belter in moat cases. The unslaked Iimo is the cheapest, as a buhel of it absorbs twenty-seven pounds of water in th slaking and increases the bulk two or three times, winking its cost of carriage and handling much greater. It is the usual practice to put the unslaked lime in small piles in the field, covering them with a little dirt, and when the moiture of the ground has slaked it, it is scattered on the surf ice, and should L e worked in the top soil. Waring says that when uaed alone it should always be used as a top dressing, as its tendency always is to sink. It is an old saving Hint "lime enriches the father and impoverishes the Hon." The scientists are opposed to its ue, but this is became people are in danger of believing that it is a manure, when it is not, but only pets the manure free that is in ground, and thus will leave the ground very poor if not manured very heavily. Its u-e is probably dangerous uu'.tW one knows how to use it in moderation while feeding the land heavily, but far uardena it is worthy of a trial. It drives away insects, enlives the soil, decomposes the manure and improve!! the quality of vegetables. The Influence of the Pe.ieh Crop. Oar pood friend, the Il.,uv and Farm, ia usually credited with havint a very level head, and we quote the following from it as a matter of curioc.3 interest to our readers: Among producers and the wholesale oomrnisaion trade generally it is to a lare extent conceded that the peach crop rules the market for other firm produce. Those who have watched the course of the peach crop over a number of years kuow that wheu the peaches have been plenty and cheap the prices of other products have been correspondingly cheap, and vice vers. Take the case of two years ao wben the markets were well supplied with peaches, there was also an abunJaut supply of all other fruits and prices were low. whereas last year peaches were scarce and the prices of other products were high. For the coming season it is yet somewhat ditlieult to make predictions, but from some sections reports have been received indicating damage to early peaches from the ery severe winter, If there be any zround for the reasoning here referred to, and the peach crop of '03 should be a short one. then there is every prospect of farm products selling high this year, higher in fact than they did in '92 because ttiu 8aon opens with a general scarcity aad very stilt prices, whereas the "Ji sea-ion opened with a good deal of carryover stock lrorn "Jl and low prices. It will be interesting to watch the drift of the market, the extent of the peach crop and whether it has any effect upon values. fiood !'. John Gould, the veteran dairyman, gives the following tood advice to his readers: The keeping of hogs may be made very profitable where borae dairying is carried on, but there should be as much judgment and method in the matter as in the seieotion aud are of the cows. To get the best results, milk and buttermilk should be fed in conjunction with grain. The taking off of the cream has not lessened the feeding value of the milk so much as to deprive the animal of an agency of qu ck digestion. With the corn meal and shorts fed with the milk, there should be some oil meal whioh takes the place of the missing fats and makes the cheese ot the milk easily digested. The swill milk tank should be cleaned out as often as each two days and scalded. The "bitter water" of very sourini.k is poisou to a hog. Where much grain is fed with the milk, the latter shoald never be allowed to brcome thiek, the acid of changing milk lactic may be all right with grain, but nerer should Le al

lowed to get very soar. Young pigs shoull always have ihe skim milk and oil meal, etc, fed sweet and warm. Sour, cold milk and no grain kids thousands of small pigs with dysentery, and then it is charged up to bad lack. Moth 1'reventntlve. Good Housekeeping. There is one sure oreventive ot moths and one which I have never neon mentioned. Bays a writer. It is tansy. Sprinkle the leaves freely about your woolens and furg, and the moths will never get into them. When I was a child my mother used to send me to the tansy patch on the hill with a large basket in which to bring home plenty of tansy leaves. In the garret where five large hair covered trunks, studded with brass nails, filled with her best blankets, coverlets, llannel sheets, etc. ISoine of then bad never been used until my grandmother had grandchildren, notwithstanding she always had a larga family to provide beds for. But the supply ot her bedding, linen and other household articles was in excess of the demand. This large amount of bedding, tablecloths, towels and linen sheets was spun and woven in her father's house, and the girls were given full liberty to take all they were willing to make up for themselves. That was part of their marriage dower. 1 can wellemember how grandmother took the extra supply out of those trunks in the garret once a year, hung the articles on the clothes-line dowu in the orchard, beat them and then put them away again to lie amid the tansy leaves until another year. The fourth generation of her posterity are sleeping under those same blankets and blue and white coverlets now, which proves the efficacy of thatremudv of the olden time.

Recipe. Gingerbread Take two pints of flour, one-half pound of lard, one pound of eu'ar, one cup of molase8, two epgs, three teuspoonfuls of baking powder, a little ginger and a pinch of salt and mix thoroughly and bake in a good even oven. Cheese Straws. One cupful of flour, one cupful of grated cheese, half a teaspoonful of ealt, a pinch of cayenne pepper, butter the eia of an egg, one egg and enough cold water to make a paste. Cut in strips seven inches long and half an inch wide. Hake a golden brown. Tie up in bunches of half a dozen each with a baby ribbon. Always Keliable Pie Crust Weigh five ounces of iresh lard, half a pound of Hour, a pinch of salt and not quite had a teacupful of very cold water. Put the salt into the llour, rub the lard through it and mix it quickly with the cold water into a dough ana roll it out. This quantity makes an upper and an under crust for one large p;e. Creamy Kice Pudding Wash two f poons of rice in three waters, pour over it one quart of milk and too spoonfuls of sugar, half a cup of raisins and a little nutmeg; cook slowly and stir often. Do not let a crust form until the rice is soft. When the milk begins to be creamy do not stint any more, but let a light brown crust form on ton. Serve warm. Kico Toast with Poached Egg. Boil the rice tho night before it is to be used; put it into a bread-loaf pan and keep on ice ; the next morning cut it into ulices, brush a little melted butter over the broiler and tho sliced rice, and broil, or rather toast, before the fire. When done, butter the slices, place on each a poached egg; spot the top of the egg with a little black pepper and serve. Angel Food IMesolve one-half box of gelatine in a quart of milk; then beat together the yolks of three eggs, one cup of sugar, the juice of one lemon and stir this into the gelatine and milk, letting it come to a bod, and then flavor with vanilla. Wheu cold whip the whites of the eggs and stir into the custard. Pour this into a mould and place it where it will grow cold. Washington Pie Cream together one cup of "A" sugar and one large tablespoonful of butter ; add one egg, then one cup of sweet milk and three cups of flour sifted with two tablespoonfuls of baking powder. Beat hard and bake in jelly tin in a quick oven for eight minutes. Pill two layers with custard tilling, llavored with vanilla, sprinkle with powdered sugar. The remaining layers may be filled with jelly. Princess Pudding. Stir one-half ounce of leaf gelatine in a gilt of new milk over a slow tire tiil dissolved, being careful it never boils, and add to it the yolks of three eirgs, well beaten; as it thickens add gradually two ounces of castor sugar. Lift it oil' the tire and stir into it a gill of apricot puree, a little lemon juice, and a few drops of carmine coloring; now whip the whites of four eggs into astitIfroth, and mix them quickly and lightly to the mixture as it cools; line a mound with lemon jelly, fill it up with the custard, and put it aside till aet, when it is turned out and served with chopped lemon jelly. Poached Kgffs. A deep saucepan should be used and the water should reach the boiling point before the egg ia carefully dropped in. Some cooks squeeze not more than two or throe drops of lemon juice into the water and always uso a teaspoonful of salt. A lull minute f-hould poach the egg suiliciently, when it is lifted out with the skimmer and laid upon the square of toast already prepared on a hot platter. Some of the best chefs claim that the pouching pan, to do half a dozen eggs at once, does not insure the same perfection to each as when they are done separately. Egg may be poached in nn almost perfect sphere bv giving to the water, a rapid rotary motion with a spoon or fork, and dropping the egg in the heart of tho whirlpool thus formed. Turkey Soup Aturkev soup is generally prepared to use up the remaius of the cold roast turkey. No one would be likely to make this eoup of an uncooked turkey, which is much more valuable served in roast or braise. Take tho bones with any bits of meat or dressing clinging to them from a cold roast turkey. Break them and cover them with two quarts of beef stock. Water will do, but beef Btock is the best. Lei the soup pimmer slowly for four hours, then a'train the soup, ssparate the meat from the bonen, making it into forcemeat babs. To do this mince the meat as fine ns possible, and pound it to a paste. There should be about a cupful. Moisten it with yolks of three eggs and a very little hot soup, and when it ia cold make into balls the size of hickory nuts and lay them in a little of the boiling soup just before it is served. Let the noup eimmer gently around the ball for five or six minutes; it must not boii hard. While you are making the forcemeat balls add a sliced carrot, an onion, a turnip and a leek to the soup, with a bay leai. a stalk ot coup celery, about three sprays of parsley and a sprig of thyme. Let the vegetables be minced fine, and browned before they are added to the mince soup, and mince the herbs. Let the eoup cook an hour longer, then season it, and add the forcemeat to the tureen, and pour the hot soup over them. Poached eggs are sometimes added to this eoup, one in each plate, when it is Berved. How Kepulntve Is bad breath, and yet how many otherwise attractive, polite and particular people aftlict their friends with the foul odor of their breath. If there was no remedy for this it might excite our sympathy, but as there is no need of having a foul breath it is an unpardonable breach of good manrers to obtrude such an o.Tence on good society. Foul brath arises from disordered digestion which can be corrected by using Sulphur Bitters and the result will be a pure sweet breath.

EVERYBODY AN INVENTOR.

The Inspiration Comes to No One Class of People. Sestixel Patent and Pension Aoenc y. :: 1420 New York-ave., N. w.. Washington. I). C., April 30. A patent may be obtained by any person who has invented or discovered anv new or useful art, machine, manufacture or composition of matter, or any new or useful improvement thereof not known or used by others in this country and not patented or described in anv printed publication in this or any foreign country before his invention or discovery thereof, and not in public use or sale in the United States for more that two years prior to his application, unless the same is proved to have been abandoned. A patent may also be obtained by any person who, by his on industry, genius, efforts and expense, has invented and produced any new and original design for a manufacture, bust, 6tatue, alto-relievo or bas-relief, etc. Patents, or an interest in them, may be assigned to any other person designated by the patentee, or upon the death of the patentee will issue to his executor or administrator. If any Indianian thinks he has a good idea for an invention upon which he can secure a patent, be should not abandon the idea merely because of a small expense necessary to secure the patent. The total expense in ordinary cases is only $t)f. and all of this is not required to be paid at once. The first payment due when the application ia made is $J0, the next payment is $50, and the final payment of $15 is not required until the patent ia ready to issue. There are many mechanics and artisans of one kind and another, who, being short of funds, havo procured the money necessary to take out a patent by interesting some of Iheir friends in the invention and disposing of a email share of the same to them. Any one who has a good idea for an invention should perfect the same, and write toTiiESENTixELpatentand pension agency for information as to what steps are necessary to be taken in order to secure a patent. We will give this information cheerfully, only requiring that you enclose a two-cent stamp for return poetage. If a search of the patent olhce riles u necessary, in order to ascertain whether or not a patent has already been issued for the game invention to somo one elee, we will require a fee of $" for this service. If our written opinion to you is favorable the chances are that you will get a patent: if our answer is unfavorable you will be spared all further expense in the matter. The fee of 3 is extra, and in no case applies on the fee of $". The Sentinel agency is well equipped for quick aud ellicient work. Our counsel have had uniform surcess in procuring patents for inventors. There is every think in having your specifications and other papers drawn up by competent lawyers. Many cases pend for months and in some cases years, only to be finally rejected. The employment of good patent attorneys cannot be too strongly impressed upon the inventor. Washington City is full of incompetent lawyers who prosecute patent and pension claims. There are also a great many first-class patent and pension attorneys. The client residing at a distance is often in doubt as to whom to employ. In many cases he only has a newspaper advertisement to guide him. He sees the name and address of some attorney and opens up a correspondence with him. He may succeed in getting a good attorney and he may not. Too frequently the latter is the case. The inventor is unable to discriminate between the good and the bad because he knows nothing ot the parties whose advertisement he reads. - Bat it is ditlerent in employing The Sentinel agency. The client is well aware that The Sentinel is one of the oldest and most reliable newspapers published in the state of Indiana. He knows that the paper employs only the most competent and trusted men and their cases will receive prompt tnd ellicient attention at reasonable rates. We charge the ordinary fee for legal services in securing patents. More than this, every inventor securing a patent through our agency will receive, free of charge, a full description of his invention with an illustration of the same. This will not only be printed in The Daily Sentinel, but in the weekly, which reaches every town in the rtate of Indiana. This free advertisement of the invention is alone worth more than the total cost of securing the patent It calls attention ot the people of the entire state to the utility of the invention and greatly aids the inventor in finding a market for the patent, if he wishes to sell it outright, or it will aid him in finding a market for his product in case he should himself manufacture the patented article. Write to our agency, immediately, at 1420 New York ave., N. W., Washington. 1). C, and give us a full description of vour invention, or proposed invention. Tell very fully how it is to be constructed, of what material, what it is expected to perform and name any advantages it may have over any existing invention which it may have been designed to improve. Never mind if your invention is very simple. The most money has been made out of the simples inventions. Remember thecase ofthe lady who made a fortune out of a patent egg-beater. Jay Gould commenced life by peddling a patent mous trap. Thousands upon thousands cf dollars are invested in the manufacture of patented articles. Yankee ingenuity has made of New England one of the most prosperous regions of tho habitable world. The New Kngland eoil is sterile, but the busy hum of the factory machinery ia heard in every village. This is all due to the inventive ekill of herjpeople. Write to us immediately. lo not delay the matter. This is a fault with most people who have inventive minds. They are apt to delay matters until somebody else has stepped in ahead of them and secured a patent on their own ideas. Your letters will be considered dsielbj confidential and will receive immediate attention. Address The Indianapolis Sentinel patent and pension agency, 1420 New York-ave., N. ÄV., Washington, I). U.
