FARMS AND FARMERS.

PLANTING STRAWBERRIES. Get the new strawberry land in condition. New beds should have the plants in position before April 15, if possible, so as to give them the spring in which to get a start ind become well established before the dry season sets in. A week or two is quite,an advantage to strawberries. After plowing the land and harrowing it well, apply wood ashes Ind ground bone, and then harrow it tgain before putting out the new plants. ~—yoT ALL THE SAME. There never was a stable where all the creatures should be fed exactly alike. Some run to fat, others to milk.one is dainty, another is hearty, or there is a thief bound to steal all she can reach before she cleans her her own, some are. cutting teeth, others are shedding them, this one is excitable, another naturally quiet. Io many, a cow is a cow, but there is much-more, we find, when we attempt to keep ehch doing her best at the milk pail. —————- SPRAYING. • * As to spraying apple trees, all depends on what they are to be sprayed for. If for the scab, which of late has proved so damaging to the apple crop, they should be sprayed twice before the leaf buds open, and with Bordeaux mixture. If they are to be sprayed to destroy the codling moth, this should be done soon after the blossoms fall, and with Bordeaux mixture, adding about pounds of London purple to 300 gallons of the water, mixing the purple first in a'small dish into a thin paste, before putting it into the tank of water. London purple is better than Paris green, for the reason that wheo mixed into the water it does not settle as Paris green does. Once spraying thoroughly for the codling moth, if well done, will do, except when a rain follows the spraying very soon, in which case it should be repeated. A light spray, just enough to wet every part of the tree, is sufficient.

MANURING CORN.

Country Gentleman. I have to follow field corn with sweet corn this year. I have horse and barnyard manure. What can I add to get a good crop?—W. G. C., Montgomery county, Pa. (Plow as early as the condition of the ground will admit, even though it is some considerable time before planting. Spread the manure evenly on the surface, and do not plow it under deeply. Drill or distribute with the seed 200 to 400 pounds of phosphates, having a comparatively high per cent, of nitrogen and potash, and a low per cent, of phosphoric acid. Plant the corn so that the rows can be easily distinguished before the corn comes up. Whenever the most forward of the corn is nearly ready to cpme through the ground, cultivate deeply and harrow thoroughly with smoothing harrow and await the appearance of the plants. The few plants that may be disturbed bv the tramping or the harrow will count but little, and since the rows can be followed in the first cultivation, none need be disturbed in this aperation. As soon as the corn is well up, the ground being well cleaned, there need be no hurry about the cultivation; cultivate deeplyand very closely to the hil Is. As Mten as every ten days thereafter, until the ears are well formed, cultivate the land, even although there may be no weeds present. Take care that each succeeding cultivation is a little shallower than the previous 3ne. Corn is a shallow-rooted plant, 'ind therefore should not be cultivated deeply in dry weather when its roots have extended across the rows. If the season is extremely dry, a litle experiment of detasseling might be interesting if not profitable. As Boon as the extreme end of the tassel Appears in sight it should be removed by pulling it out. The rows should be gone over two or three times, and pains should be taken to do the work promptly. If the tassels get out to iny extent, the stalk that bears them will be tough and they will have to be cut off, and it is probable that no pood results will follow. If there is plenty of moisture and the corn is doing well, detassseiing probably will not pay.}

SOME MISTAKES IN SPRING PLANTING. Practical Farmer. We all realise, late in the season, the mistakes we have made at planting time. It is possible now, however, to catalogue some cf these possible mistakes and thus avoid the Sanner of falling into them. Cultivating Too Much Land—One of the most common mistakes made bt planting time is that of trying to cultivate too much land, and. as a result, failing to take proper care of bny of the crops. Ambition is a food thingj but an ambition to do the best kind of farming rather than I the greatest amount of farming is vastly better for the farm, the per -1 tonal comfort of the farmer, and better for his pocket book. Lay out your spring work on such a scale that all through the season you can drive the work and never for a moment feel that it is driving you. In this way a long start is made toward certain success. Planting Top Thickly.—A very common mistake is made in planting crops too thickly. This is seen in the case of one setting out an orchard. The trees look very small

when set out. Don't mind the looks. Plant by the distances laid down by experienced orchardists. _ High flavor never comes with crowded trees. The same is true in setting out small fruits. Get the rows far enough apart to cultivate between with a horse, and set the plants well apart in the row. They must have the sunshine fallingall about them to develop fine flavor in the fruit. You will get more berries, and bigger berries, if you give the plants plenty of room. One of the greatest evils, of close planting is seen in the case of fodder corn, and fodder of other kinds.. It is the custom to sow fodder corn in drills, and to sow it thick It- —so thickly that it grows up a dense mass of green stull that is very largely water, and that furnishes the cows with but small matter to turn into milk and butter. Give the. sunlight, and the air a chance to get at your growing fodder. It will.develop in it nutrition that will be far better than the extra weightof water gained by cibse planting. Be sure to sow plenty of fodder for the drouth that may come in mid-summer. But don’t sow it ' too thickly. i Lack of a Succession in the Garden. —A very common mistake in planting is the neglect to provide, by successive sowings, for a succession of garden stuff. Most farm gardens, I find,produce a few messes of this and that vegetable, and then the luxury is a thing of the past until next season comes. Peas, beans, corn, cucumbers, lettuce, kale, tomatoes, beets ana other things that miuht be mentioned,should be on tap in the garden, so to speak, all summer long. Peas can be had from June to October, and tomatoes from July to December (allowing green tomatoes to ripen in the cellar for I late use), and other vegetables cad be had in like abundance and like continuance by making successive sowing of seeds from a week to ten days apart. Don’t forget this this spring, and when you are enjoying your garden for five months instead of two yoii will be glad that I jogged your memory early. Deeper Planting.—Hill culture, the.hill being four or five inches

above the level of the surrounding ground, is responsible for many short crops. This is particularly true with such a crop as potatoes. • As ordinarily planted, by the time they have been “hoed” once, the plants have been hilled up to such an extent that the hills soon dry out and the plants suffer for moisture. If the crop gets a second hoeing, the loose soil has all been scraped from between the rows and piled up about , the plants; and then if hot and dry ] weather strikes the crop, the returns will be’ small indeed. The planting must be done deeper down in the ground, so that cultivation and hoeing can take place without risk of “hilling up” the plants. Some one says, “Oh, but if we have a wet season, deep planting would make the crop a failure.” Probably it would, if the soil is not properly drained. If one’s land is neither naturally nor artificially drained, planting is something of a lottery at best. 'He is at the mercy both of moisture and of drouth, and may, or may not, “catch” a crop. Get the land well drained, and one will not be so wholly at the mercy of the elements. I am going to get my potatoes down deeper this season than evdT'before, so as to avoid the “hilling up” evil, even with frequent hoeing.

A Shrewd Rejoinder by Lincoln.

Century for April. But among the various incidents of the conference the world will probably longest remember that recorded by Alexander H. Stephens, one of the three commissioners, who, afterward writing of the event, said that Mr. Hunter made a long reply to the President’s refusal to recognize another government inside of that of‘which he alone was President by receiving ambassadors to treat for peace. “Mr. Hunter,” says Stephens, “referred to the correspondence between King Charles I. and his parliament as a trustworthy precedent of a constitutional ruler treating with rebels. Mr. Lincoln’s face then wore that indescribable expression which generally preceded his hardest hits, and he remarked: ‘Upon questions of history I must refer you to Mr. Seward, for he is posted in such things, and Ido not pretend to be bright. My only distinct recollection of the matter is that Charles lost his head.’ That settled Mr. Hunter for a while.”

D fining a Jag.

Philadelphia Record. The “jag” was only recently introduced into literature by the poets of “Vagabond!a,” and now it has 1 been brought into law. Councilman Lane, of Boston, lias demanded the institution of an official test to decide the precise status of a “jag." A policeman should certainly be tech, nically correct in the charge which he enters against a prisoner on the station blotter. By the initiated there are recognized several types of the genus “jag"—the simmering | “jag,” the picturesque “jag," and 1 the plain, unvarnished “jag," which I differs very little from what the DelI awareans term “a load of peaches.” Councilman Lane proposes a spelling test for cases of suspected “jag.” The Record suggests the pronounciation of that charming phrase, “truly rural.” r To keep cut glass sparkling wash in warm soapsuds and rinse in hot, not boiling water.

Salted Almon s.

Chicago Record. During the last few years the salting of nuts has become a profitable business, It is mostly in the hands of the confectioners, although there are a nnmber of small concerns which are engaged in it as an independent business. Pistachio nuts, peanuts and almonds are the nuts chiefly salted. The process is so simple that any housewife can easily perform it. First, the nuts are “bleached” by dipping them quickly in to boiling hot water. This serves to remove any particles of chaff or dirt and to soften up the exterior of the nut. After being partially dried they are then placed in a bath of hot salted olive oil or butter and allowed to remain a minute or two. The olive; oil is better than butter, but it is more expensive. On being dipped out the nuts are placed in an oven and baked or else crisped in a roasting pan. The process originated In Paris about twelve years ago. Probably the best salted nuts are Jordan almonds from Spain. They cost about eighty cents a pound. “Schrage’s t 1,000,000 Rheumatic Cure” never failed. Pure. sure. Doctors praise it.
