if one expects to she.l the corn for for feeding or for market, providing one is sure of good seed and that the ground is not so foul as to require harrowing during the first two weeks after the young corn is out of the ground to keep down the weeds. If the corn is to be cut and shocked into fodder and fed to cattle without husking, three stalks in the hill are more satisfactory. Three thousand hills would produce sixty bushels of 150 ears each to the acre. The stalks would be liner, too, and would furnish a greater quantity and better quality of fodder for feeding purposes. There are cases where the unsoundness of seed and foulness of the ground, with insufficient time to harrow it thoroughly before planting, necessitates persistent harrowing to suppress the weeds, whiie the young stalks are shooing from the ground, and this makes it advisable to plant three grains to the hill for growing corn for shelling, and four grains for production of fodder corn.—Orange Judd Farmer.

A Preventive <>! Cut Worm«. At the planting season we were badly troubled with the cutworm on our tomato fields. Os the plants put out in the day we lost 25 per cent, in the night. We tried hand-picking every morning, but with unsatisfactory results. To wage successful war we tooK tobacco stems, cut in halfinch lengths. After the soil had been cleated away from the stem of the plants to a depth of half an inch, a small quantity of tobacco was taken between the lingers ami thumb and placed ’round tin; stem of the plants and the soil replaced over the tobacco to the depth of from one-fourth to one-half an inch. The juices of the tobacco, saturating the soil, made it very obnoxious to the cutworm, and thus protected the plants from its ravages. Out of 700 plants so treated only one was destroyd by the worm after the tobacco was applied. But wherever the leaf of the plants _ i - i ——mT' from the tobacco it was, attacked by 1 the cutworm and cutoff. The amount I of tobacco placed around each plant I was about one-half ounce. The total j cost of the experiment on the 768 plants was 50 cents for tobacco and $4 for labor. Altogether the experi-, ment was entirely satisfactory, it will be understood that the treatment was not pursued with a view of destroying the worm, but simply to protect the plants. This method is highly recommended. Bulletin 15, i Oregon Experiment Motion.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN. About ' c <H. Many farmers have an exceedingly bad habit in regaid to their annual supply of seeds. They wait until spring is upon ti ‘in and then go to town and buy from their grocer a quantity of whatever sorts he happens to have. These may or may not be good. One thing is certain, they cannot thus keep abreast with the progress in the agricultural world. As a rule, reliable dealers do not sell their goods on commission in this : way. Nothing is save 1 by buying cheap seed. Nearly all dealers semi their catalogues free and thus you can i not only have many kinds to select from, but often variable information ; is given as to varieties or methods of cultivation. It is a good plan, in some cases, to save one's own seeds. < When this is d me. only the very best j and earliest specimens should be used. I Unless this is a rigorous practice, de- | terioration will certainly follow. For : certain kinds, the seed-growers have so much better advantages for saving I the best seed that it pays to buy of them. A young man recently tried ; to get a club for seeds, but in many instances was met by the response! that they could get them cheaper, i If some of these cheap seeds should fail to grow, very likely it will be be- ' cause the moon was not in the right i quarter. Comb n?<! Roller a:i<l Marker. A neat attachment to a garden ■ roller is the following: Bore holes ; eight inches apart lengthwise and put in pins. To mark the garden make these pins each hold a small rope encircling the roller by driving them into the holes beside the ends of the ~ Throve. More than one row of holes can be used to change distances. Tack strips lengthwise of the roller to

mark place in row for setting plants. —Hollister Sage, in Practical Farmer. Manuring f ruit Trees. To place manure at the trunks of trees, is very much as if a man were fed by placing food ar his feet. The feeding roots of trees always extend farther than their branches. Long before the branches meet, the roots interlace. The proper way to feed such trees is to deposit manure in the middle of the rows between the trees where the feeding roots are, rather than at their base where the roots are too large to assimilate nourishment. LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY. Tim Best Farmer’s Horse. No farmer can afford to keep a one-purpose horse The trottingbred horse is strictly a one-purpose horse. He is too light for general service on the farm and not one in 100 of us is able to develop a trotting bred colt if we have the mare of approved breeding to start with, and but few have. We cannot pay a high fee to breed our common marcs to a developed stallion, with the idea of getting a trotter. None but the wealthy can pay from $45 to S6O a month to have their colts trained. The draft horse is for one purpose only—to draw a heavy load. Life is too short to draw grain or hay to market a dozen miles away and then go home on a walk. This pace has to be taken or the draft horse goes to pieces in short order. Put him on a hard road or soft ground and see him give out and rest. It is difficult to bring him to three years old without a blemish. I have had experience with all breeds and can see from a farmer’s standpoint. I have no ax to grind and can therefore see all sides of the question. Looking over the Held carefully 1 am satisfied that the horse that will come the nearest to a general or all purpose horse is the one to raise. ] consider this horse to be one that when developed stands sixteen to sixteen and one-half hands high with handsome and commanding appearance, and to weigh from 1,200 to 1,500 pounds, with high knees and back action, legs and feet well under him,denoting readiness for action at

THE number of stalks in the hill unusually regulates the size of the ear. Ordinarily there are i 3,240 hills in an \ acre of checked I corn. Allowing I for about 7 per * cent, of loss, ' 3,000 hills, with ’ two stalks each (counting 100 . ears to a bushel) ‘ produced sixty bushels to the i acre. This is the ’ best way to plant

all times; long neck, short back, well ■ coupled, well sprung ribs, good chest, i deapoblique shoulders, well set long . hips, well developed stifles, clean legs, planty of bone and no feather to ■ catch wind and water. Keeping Buttei Now that it is pretty well established that it is the traces of caseine and albumen in butter that spoil, not the butter fats, the chief condition of making butter that, will keep, is to first churn cream that is just beginning to turn acid, not sour, and wash j out the buttermilk while the butter ' is in the granular stage. Flavor can ■ not be washed out of butter if the ’ water is pure, and at 55 degrees in . any reasonable number of times, but I buttermilk flavor can: hence some say the flavor is gone, as they confound the o3e for the true flavor. It is best Ijt) add water to the churn before Kttei^piing to remove any of the but- : I f two quarts of weak brine is acMbd to the cream just before it ' begins to “break.’’ the separation will De all the more complete. 'When ' washing the butter, add a little salt each time. When worked over, set the butler in a coil place where the temperature changes as little as possible, and the butter itself excluded from the air. Butter should be worked down fairly “dry" for long keeping, yet worked as little as po>siI ble while doing it. Press out the ' water rather than attempt to work it out, which in other words, is to work the buttermilk in and salve the

product. Sunsliine for xtnek. The necessity of sunlight for animals cannot be too strongly empha- । sized. The following experiment rej lated in the Rural WorM shows this ! right well. A man took two calves ■ sixty days old, weighing 186 and 182 i pounds, both deep red in color, and I placed the heavier one in a dark 1 room where the feed could be delivi cred by a spout The other he placed ■ in a similar room, where it had plen- : ty of sunlight, and both had the same feed three months. At the end of I that time the one in the light room j weighed 430 pounds and was appar- , ently healthy. The other weighed l only 360 pounds and had faded to a ' dull dirty red, and for a week or two after restoration to light, kept its I eyes closed most of the time. It l never recovered its former bright | color, or from the other effects of its three months in darkness. There may be some advantage in keeping fattening animals in dark- < ened stables, for it keeps them quiet 1 : and they do not worry off flesh. | Growing animals, milch cows and air ! other animals should have plenty of sunlight and pure air. They can i i both be obtained in the stable with- ' out letting the cattle run around a ' straw stack or leaving cracks and । । windows open on cold days and | j nights. llow often do we sec pigs! and hogs shut up in a small pen in I one end of the barn away from all । light. What are not carried out dead j during the winter come out in the ' i spring looking pale and faded and j like the “last rose of summer.” , ■ THE POULTRY-YARD. — Tho I’ou terer’s F iend. Among the many enemies with which the poultryman has to contend none are so subtle as the parasites which suck away the life-blood of his i flock, depriving them first of graceful motion. then of glos-y plumige. (growth, activity, and finally of existence itself if they be not removed. ■ No flock is exempt from their attacks, i however well-bred and handsomely : housed it may be. ami whether owned

by laborer or lord. These insect foes are no respector of persons and will creep in and multiply in unlooked-for ways. Y orst of all, the amateur seldom knows what causes his flock to droop, and administers drugs and condition powders without effect. The old poultry-keeper notes the first symptoms; in fact is likely to attribute any difficulty among his birds to these insidious pests, and to get out the lard and kerosene with which to rub the heads and under the win <T s of his charges. But the owner of several hundred birds dreads the task and, although knowing well its importance, is prone to put it off, believing himself unable to spare the time required to catch and anoint every individual in the yards. Not infrequently it is a process of several days, during which time other things must wait and suffer. Anything to hasten the work he should regard with interest. It was with just this object in view that the simple footpower contrivance shown was invented. By its use and the aid of two attendants a hundred fowls of apy age may be thoroughly “doctored” in a few minutes. It is light and portable, and may be carried from one roosting room to another, over all the premises in one short evening. The machine may be quickly constructed by any person at all accustomed to ! the use of tools. A carpenter’s ijorse is the first requisite, to which, two I pieces of four-inch board four feet long are nailed. Next a disc of wood eighteen inches in diameter is made with a grooved edge, and after being centered is attached to the horse. । Then two other discs three and a half inches in diameter are made, one having a grooved edge. These are centered on a wooden shaft long enough to allow them to play either side of the upright boards, in which notches are cut for the shaft to run. A belt connects the large and small M L= .

In the flat edge ! of the small wheel numerous gimlet I holes arc bore 1 the size of a lead peni cil, in which bristles are inserted.

Boil sixhours. Add'lour to stiffen, so that a fork will stand upright in the mixture. Beef Tea.—Cut in small pieces two pounds weight of fresh, lean beef, add three pints of cold water, when on the eve of boiling, carefully remove the scum, the moment it boils add a pint of cold water, then let it boil up again and remove the scum as before. If by this time it is not perfectly | clear, the same quantityof water may i i be added the second time, which ; will cause more scum to rise. The : same remarks apply to all other broths I and gravies, which will always be ■ transparent and finely flavored if the ‘ same rule be observed. Beef tea ! should be allowed to simmer not less i than three-quarters of an hour and I not more than one hour from the time it is last skimmed. i Home-Made Charlotte Busse.— Home-made charlotte nuso is much ' nicer than that bought at the baker’s, i i and is easy and simple to make. The ■ ■ following recipe will make dessert ; ‘ enough for a family of five: Half a : pint of double cream, a teaspoonful of vanilla, and a third of a cupful of . i granulated sugar. Whip these to- | ' gether, and when stiff add the beaten i whites of two eggs and mix thorough- । ly. Line the bottom and sides of a fancy pudding dish with single ladyfingers—nice crisp ones. It will take j about eighteen double ones, giving ■ you thirty-six single strips. It is bet- ■ ter to buy these at a good cenfectioni er’s than to make them Pur in the whipped cream and set aside in a cool I place. There are ways more involved . for making charlotte russe, ’ut the l above is entirely satisfactory.

WILD RACE FOR HOMES. SCRAMBLE OF HUNDREDS OF BOOMERS FOR CLAIMS. Scenes Attending Hie Race Across the tine—A Good Deal of the Land Still Left for Settlers—The Situation in Oklahoma. Opening of Sisseton Sections. Says a dispatch from Brawn’s Valley, Minn.: The sharp, clear note of a bugle at no.m Friday, the almost simultaneous 1 crack of a carbine, then a voll’ey from | the whole far-reaching line of cavalry as । the signal was taken up and carried In a reverberatingo report to -thousands of waiting ears, a few more halting shots, becoming fainter as the distance increased, and the Sisseton reservation was at last open. The military withdrew from the border and rejoined their companies. From the brush along the shore of the Minnesota River, from ravines hitherto held to be unpopulated, from every conceivable spot bordering on the reservation that could shelter a man, horse or wagon there sprung hordes of home-seekers. There were all sorts and conditions of men. Some who had never passed a night out of doors in their lives slept on the damp ground with naught but the starry sky above them. The west shore of Lake Traverse is the border line of the reservation for almost its entire length. A | fleet of rafts and other hastily improvised I craft laden with household goods so that their gunwales came within a few inches of the water lay along the shore awaiting the stroke of 12. Many of their occupants had not tasted food for twenty hours. Hundreds lined the' way all along the border from Hankinson south. At Wheaton was the gieatest crowd, for it was the nearest point to the desirable lands. It was a spectacle not easy to forget. With the crack of the carbines horses dashed madly forward, urged to desperate speed by their excited riders. Struggling along to the rear came loaded wagons, with from two to six horses on ea h. They were lashed unmercifully by their drivers. The cracking of whips, the dull thunder of hoofs in the damp sod and the yells of the drivers as they struggled for the lead filled the air with an unwonted din. Still farther to the rear came those without conveyances, struggling forward with their kits of tools until the reserve was dotted with them. The mounted crowd was scon 3 ■ * X—s. -A iX-.-a : AT 1 3' X * - the rang* they disappeare I they were considerably strung out, the leaders evidently saving twir strength for a hard run at the finish. ida Burnett, graduate of the Univcrs ty of M inm-ota. a strikingly handsome giri, is [ osslbly the possessor of the choicest quur r-section about the town site to the northwest.

The northern 1 ase of the triangle extends over into Sargent and Richland Counties in North Dakota, and for that reason filings may be made at Fargo. The lands are rich, ami numerous lakes cover the entire extent of the reservation, a good portion of which is wco 10l and of a hilly character. In fact, the character of the lands reflects much credit on the judgm< nt of the Sisseti n Indians, who chose this land as their reward for their help to the settlers in the Indian war of 1862. For nearly thir y years they held the reservation intact, but finally concluded they would prefer to have their lands in severalty and live like whites, so the matter was soon arranged, with £te aid of a commissfl-m, and a scramble for lands was th- result. The Indians have selected many of the best lands on the

reservation, but it is estimated that enough for about four thousand claims of 160 acres each still remained up to the hour of opening. On the Oklahoma Border. 3he excitement over the Cheyenne and Arapahoe lands is quieting down, due principally to the fact that new arrivals are materially decreasing. The boomers in their wagons continue to pour in all along the border, but the crowd coming in by rail is not as large as that which moved on the Oklahoma country three years ag >, and as the time I for the opening draws near it begins to j look as though the crowd thak will go in I will not be neaHy as great as that which entered Oklahoma. This is due to the fact that three years ago thousands of people who were not farmers rushed to Guthrie, Oklahoma City, an 1 the other towns, thinking that they would secure town lots that in a few years would make them rich, while the new towns in the Arapahoe and Cheyenne country will all be miles from any railroad, and do not invite this kind of immigration. Many of the boomers, even those who have horses and wagons, do not seem to 'RuA Fl V * \ X THE awakening. have any cash, though most of them have flour and bacon. The soldiers stationed along the northern border estimate that there are 3,500 people on that line east of Cantonment and about 1,000 west. There are perhaps 12,000 people ready to go in from the east and 7,000 or 8,000 in the Washita country, while about 3,000 Texans are drawn up along the south line. There are not many people on the west line. On the north line, about ten miles east of Cantonment, there are 1,500 people from western Kansas camped in one bunch. A I?oy Reporter. The reporter’s pencil has trained many a hand for the novelist’s pen. It trained Charles Dickens, who. at the age of nineteen years, did reporter's work of such excellent quality as to draw from the late Earl of Derby, then Lord Stanley, a prediction that the stripling reporter was destined for a great career. Young Dickens had reported the last part of Lord Stanley's speech in the House of Commons against O'Connell. When the proofs of the speech were sent to Lord Stanley that gentleman returned them with the. remark that the first two-thirds of it were so badly reported as to be unintelligible; but thatiftht^jj^e^iaa 6 who had n part of admirably would call upon him ne would repeat his speech and have it _ I ail Rtt-van B and was reluctant^ servant into the library. WhcnTft? master of the house came in he expressed astonishment with liis eyes as well as by his words. “1 beg pardon," said he, “but I had Imped to see the gentleman who had reported the last part of my speech.” “I am that gentleman,” answered Dickens, turning red in the face. "(>h, indeed:” said Stanley, turning [ to c neeal a smile. Sir James Graham then came in, and Stanley began his speech. At first he stool still, addressing one of i the window-curtains as "Mr. Speaker.” * Then h“ walked up and down the room, gesticulating and declaiming with all the. lire he had shown in the Lb mse of Commons. Sir James, with a newspaper report , before him. followed, and occasionally . corrected Stanley. When the proof j of lhe speech had been read by the j orator, he returned it to the editor with a note predicting the future : success of his young reporter. Many years afterwaid Charles Dickens, the popular novelist, was invited I to dine with Lord Derby. The guests ■ were shown into the library, and ' Dickens, though he ha 1 forgotten the ■ fncident of the speech, fell a strange : sensation, as if he had been there before. At last something recalled the reporting a I venture, and he reminded his host of it. Lord Derby was delighted to recognize in the popular novelist his boy reporter.—Youth's Companion. Infantry Can Knduro More Than Cava'ry. On a march infantry will endure the fatigue much better than cavalry, and in a long distance the foot soldiers will outmarch the horsemen. Those who doubt this statement should remember that a horse in army service carries about 270 pounds weight, while the soldier carries only his gun and from twenty to forty pounds. Notwithstanding tiie fact that a ten minutes’ halt is made in every hour for stragglers to catch up, cavalry straggle to the rear more than infantry do, and the care of a horse on a long march is a serious matter. The horses arc picked animals, but even the best horse is liable to fall lame from the loss of a shoe or a stone in his hoof, or from some other cause which at first may be entirety unperceived by the rider.— Globe-Democrat.

WANTED TO KISS THE DUDE, i " “ Annie, Cuiumh^s, au Insane Lady, Tutrf a Tailor’s “Ad” to Flight. Miss Annie Cummings, a young lady of Alleghany City, Pa., who, while visiting friends was taken insane and sent to the detention hospital, had lots of fun with a slim young dude wrapped up in light-check trousers, double .bieasted box overcoat, a supercilious expression, and a few other necessr.ry articles of apparel, who was passing the corner of Dearborn avenue and Illinois street just as Annie was on the point of i making her escape. Annie is a little woman, one of whose eccentricities is a strong desire to kiss every man in sight This propensity has caused worlds of annoyance to the mo lest susceptibilities of County Physician Ware and his assistant. lAr. Noble, whose room is at tiie northeast corner of the building, j the only entrance being through the female ward. Annie's chief delight, outside of the red wrapper she wears continually, is to waylay the doctors as they pass through the ward ind make violent love to them. Recently 1 a chance of fortune threw the young dude in her way. The female attendants had been called to the main office, the door of the doctor’s room happened to be unlocked, and Annie slipped in. opened the window, and : got out and sat on the ledge. She -at there a few moments and a crowd of 100 people quickly gathered. The dude was the last to arrive. Catching sight of him Annie had a spasm of I ec «acy. “Oh. what a lovely man!’ she cried. : “Oh. come here, quick, and let me ; kiss you:” The dude, wild with terror, turned to qscapc. He was inside the crowd, and some of his roguish fellow-spec-tators impeded his egress. “Hold him: Hold him:” screamed Annie. “Oh, 1 must kiss him, he's go nice. Don't go, darling, I'm coming.” The announcement made the dude frantic, and he broke through the crowd and ran wildly down Dearborn avebxe just as Annie jumiX’d from the window and gave chase, still I screaming: “Stop that lovely man:” Annie was very much in earnest-, but the dude gained rapidly. As he ran past the office window Attendants I Nicholson and Canary of the male ward, who were attracted to the window by the excitement, saw Miss Cummings and ran out and caught ' her. । The dude was still running despe.ately when last seen on the Dear- ( burn avenue bridge.—Chicago Times. fireproof materials.
