There nre a few primary facti. however, that xve find helpful. Orr of thet-e is that rr guire- certain kinds of foyd, and "will nut thrive without them. While th"y use a dozen cr nvre figments w bave learned that only three of these in often larking in Jifficicnt abundance t-i mak hip crop, viz: Nitrogen, ph"?jhrvrio acid and pta5h.

It i the element that takes the nvst dollars ml of our pockets and pats them into the pockets of manufacturers of fertilizer. A majority of farme;'. hav learned Uliat (-Ivvpr enrichens land in some way, nd yet many d net seem t realize how nun h benefit is gotten from it. It is an established fa t that clover ran take the nitropeu "ut of the air and More it up in tin soil for the iif" of th-? other plants. AVhilo our Und is needing this element mo-e than any other. and Ave are buying it at a Hp price in th f-rm of fertilizers, clover can furnish it to us heaply. The other elements may I0 lacking, but it Is usually true that the sub-soil contains all that is ne.Hicd, and when clover is grown the roots po down several fret into the nub-soil and pump up these elements for the ue. of the following crop of grain or Aearetablee. Tite clover is thus storing up in the ton soil all th elements needed ly our crops. AA'hil- grain is so low in uri'-e- ip it not a wis policy to lot lani lie a. year 1:1 lover when It need more fertility rather than to continue to i'ovv it and buy fertilizers;- Th-re is not nnioli if any loss to the ground by th" removal of the first crop for hay if it is fed on the farm and the manure cirefnlly returned.

At a farmers' institute a noted New York dairyman said: "1 do not object to a ir.au making skini-rheese, but I l- believe that if there never had b en a pound of it made, in this country, but nil had been prime full-cream, there wou.d r.et lx- enough of It mad today for borne consumption. 1 would not condemn Fklru-oheese, but I would have a brand put on every rh"-ese made that avouI-I Tell Its true finality; then if one wanto-l to buy and eat skim-eheeso let Iii in do it. T. however. d not Hk it nor Avid I buy or eat it if I know it. I'urther. 1 would have a law that would reject every pound of o-ealled full-cream cheese that did not contain one and onefourth pounds of butter fat to every pound of casein, and It should b a higher per cent, than that. "NVe should, catr to the foreign market just fco long a.s we export our surplus chees. and tHnt market is constantly catling for the best. Skim-cheese from our fa-dories has injured eiur trade in England. AA'hen I was over there awhile ago. I went among th farmers whom I found mating bread nd cheese, and when I asked them what kind of cheese they were using they a.11 Faid: 'American cheese.' Examination showed it to bo skim-milk cheeso in every Instance. We must ceae this suicidal business and make only the very highest grade of dairy products. The lesson we learned at the world's fair eught to be a valuable one. Ae marie a biir fhow of packages, but our Canadian friends carried off nearly all the prizes. Other and less favored localities got away with nearly all the butter awards; as in cheese, our show was a big or,r in packages, but lov in flavor anl texture. There is no use in trying to explain the results. "We may just as well give It up first as last. We wer beaten all alone the line. There was a time when the best butter and cheese product of the world came from New York, but wo have fallen from our high estate. 1 hope, however, to live to see the day when we shall regain it. The dairymen tnubt remember that success in reaching a high standard of excellence all depends upon the foods the cow eats, the water she drinks and the air she breathes. These dements furnished purely and liberally with good care and the environment of the cove made perfect, if skill be employed In making up her milk, success will surely bo attained not without them. A sinhntiiuie fur a Cellar. In low, wet place?, or where the surfar of the soil is but little above- the level of a stream err pond in the vicinity, or even on higher land too flat to admit of proper drainage, it is unadvisable to excavate a cellar, as water must gather and stand there, especially during a rainy season. In other localities, wh"re but two or three feet of soil overlay the native roek. It Is Impracticable, though otherwise favorably situat"l. As a plat e In whii h v gA'ahl s may lv? stored and kept from freiziii' through the winter is as neCiCsary here s elsewhere, attempts have lern made to find a serviceable Substitut for the cellar. The old-time apple cav, with its earth-covered roof, ha.s been tri"d and found defective in tha it fails to keep out water In a time of rain. One of the most successful efforts In this line says an Ohio correspondent of the Hural New Yr.rkr. is that of a man whoe building are on the low ground near a river. Finding it iniossible to secure a dry etlUr, lie built a mom adjoining the kitchen, making It as nearly f rost-proof as po-H.te by the use of double walls and eMing. Its fst was little more than that of a cellar Availed with stone, whik-Ut is OiWr. lm.ie oasilv kept In a sanitfoy. condition and mm h easier of access at all time?;, saing many steps and r inh labor both in storing away vegefib;H and in daily use. The prim ob?' t lrt the construction of a building for this purpose, Js to shut

in th summer warmth and prevent its radiattou into the outer air during a sea-son f cold weather. The best nonconductors of hat, such as wood ami paper, should lx employed. Dry air in conn nem c-nt is one of the best of all non-coidueiers. and this advantage js fully sctured in the doubl? walls. Hero are two d--ad-air spaces in the walls, entirely cut off from communication with each other or with the air ' outside. Above, there is such a space inclosing th" joists, with the space between this and the roof, which is carefully closed at the (hacs by a cornice. The floor is double, and beneath It thÄ air shut in by the foundation wall. Intilding paper may be placed in th- double n r." around th" walls r."t the outside and over the joit.s in the ceiling, adding much to the s rvii e of the building and but a triMe to its com.

Ilrreditiu I "a nil Mure. AA"c made a gtea mistake, writes a corrfsNinden,t of tia I'lairi" Farmer, when we acted upon the supposition that an eighteen hundred-pound sire and a one thousand-pound dam of no partikular bred or shaj-e would produce a thirteen fourteen-hundred-pound horse with good points. It deics not work that way as a rule. Cow. few men have the hardihood to breed any but -vel'-built mares. AA'ithin ten yea is we may expect to see a far better average of animals than we have today. This, in itself, is no mean gain. The sluggish, ill-formed horses this country has lately produced are not creditable to us, ami no on cres to se their prinluet iii con-tlnn-d. Only gix-d dams ;im1 sires can now give us a profitable coll. Hut good biood animals are always s-ar-e. Even now the demand for their offspring is fair. Active and heavy di-aft t "ams are wanted in our ities lnufi-s that wili av ish l.tlao or more, and that can pi.-k tip their feet. Such animals arc always wanted. Now that the average farmer is no longer raising colts, we may confidently expect that the t im? will come when all active, well-knit draft horses v ill be in eletnand. It H always thus. When the crowd drops anything, it is safe for a "man to take it up. Following the crowd usually means low prices, and the opposite moans fair pric-s. It requires six years to get ready to put a horse upon the market. City men do not want anything undnr live years of age. A"e cannot wait until prices are good before we Pg-';n to breed. If one may judge by the past of all kinds of stock, the man who has 1 good brood mare may safely begin to breed if be can get a good sire. Even if the iirs-t colt or two does not bring a big ) rice, il is probable tluit. it will not. fail to bring a fair one. and a start made toward a sto. k of horses cjn hand for ail era of better pri-e. The scrub is doomed, but the good burse will always be m-eded. Ol hers M orse On'. It stems very human to lar our e.!i burdens more easily if others h.ic heuvley ones. It is thN thought, evidently, that lends a com-sitondcnt of the Country Co nib-man to say that it is evident that labor in other industries is feeling the thorns of hard times more than the oc-;ipie:s of land, who have still a market for their surplus, 110 la-ge 11 mount of interest to m -ei, and no fear of assignment of collapse. They have n conception of the distress o being ous-ted front a eloniieile f.,f i:op-p,iyiiic;it. ot house rent which is pot. usually sei down as an item, in th'ir expenses of living.

A sense of delicate touch is one of the essential fjual ilica t ions for a. successful beekeeper.

Fruit trees ar kilb-il by severe wintei-s. and so are les; orchards have their off years in lairing and honey irons are failures. Alulchinx to It et aril Maturity. In bulletin .'.: of the Cornell experiment station, l'rof. Hailey discusses this tpiestion: "lops Mulching Ketard the; Maturity of Fruits';" As the result of many oxpi iments, he comes to the following conclusion : "1. The early 1 lei m of fruit plants depends very largely upon the appropriation of food stored in the twigs, and it is more er b ss independent of rot action. Tills is proved both by diicct experiment and by study of the physiology of the plants. "2. It must follow, then, that the temperature of the twig or branch must be reduced if the vegetation j to be much retarded: er. in other words, the top of the plants, as well as the soil, must be mulched, antl in practice this is jossihIe only with strawberries and oth"r very low plants, or thee which arc laid down during winter. There is danger of Injuring plants by heavy mulch which irf 1 lowed to remain l2.te.iu spring. .If it bp desired to retard flowers or fruits by mulching, the practice should not le violent, and the plants should be carefully wau hed. "4. Many strawberry growers are able to delay the ripening fruit, by mulching, from two days to two weeks; but a week's delay is tisirally about the limit of profitable results." Magnitude of thi Poultry flunincs. With a nation of 70.00n.iXi0 people. Its 1 l,f00.000 of families consuming but two dozen eggs each week, with but $20 worth of poultry a year, brings th" consumption by them alone to ar,o,niti,(iOO. The staticlans give us a hotel and restaurant consumption of Jli.Vooo.Qeo, or double that of 1870. Manufactures consume ltM).fM),000, and we have not entered the realm of line stock, with its Increased price over the practical value. Is it at all surprising that poultry cul

ture is now respected as a business and invites the investments of th" rich, white it converts the labor of the poor into f.rh and has brought to the front a large food supply, with its influence uin the market so great that to annihilate it would to make it impossible for the poor and middle classes to afford meat food jr.eire than onto ;:wecl? 1 1 must b considered a grand factor of the nation s wealth and food supply.

Early Maturity of l'gs. Farmers" Home says: There is cielod advantage it: keeping thrifty at this time, j,ud is that they -vill be in a much iTiidition to grow and nr.-'ture a depigs that better wh .'il grass and clover starts. Figs that at? kept in good glowing condition during the winter can in nearly all cases bo fattened very rapidly after grass and clover start-:, and generally can b made leady for market by the latter part of spring or early srmmer. On the other hand, where the pigs have been neglected through the winter, it will rtiuire the U-st part of the growing season after grass and clover starts to grow to pet them into a proper condition to grow well, and a fall pig that is wintered poorly will rarely be ready to market until tie- fall, and even then will usually weigh but little more than a thrifly February pig tint reasonably good care has been taken to posh. At tills season, as the supply of ttn-d begins to get lower, there is an inclination ofttinies to stint the feed cf at least smne of the stock.

A high heel is injurious enough for adults' wear. For children wh ate still growing it is even more s-o. and yet ther are mothers who let their young daughters we-ar them.
