TOPICS FOR FARMERS A DEPARTMENT PREPARED FOR OUR RURAL FRIENDS. Vegetables Should Be Worked When the Leaves Are Dry—Directions for Dressing Rout Crops—See that lour Barns Are Insured. Bints for the Garden. Work the vegetables when the leaves are dry. This is especially necessary for beans and peas. If worked when Lie leaves are wet. it will produce rust and injure the crop at least one-third its yield. Root Crops.--Beets, parsnips and carrots should be dressed out with tin' wheel or hand hoe as soon as the plants have made the fourth leaf. ihe ground should not be dug up. but only scraped up—just enough to cut all the needs away from the plants. The hoes should be ground sharp. With a good steel hoe the young weeds can be cut close up to the plants very rapidly. This work should be done before the weeds have become deeply rooted. A.’w —.7 o-mow’bo onion bulbs co:nthe tops off about one-third. The cutting of the tops will throw the strength into the roots. After the third working, draw the earth away from the bulbs, leaving the onions fully exposed. Bunch Beans and Late Peas. —These should be sown every two weeks. Plow the ground deeply and harrow it finely; run the rows out at least six inches deep and scatter about half an inch of tine hotbed manure or barnyard scrapings in the bottom of the furrow. If the ground should be dry, water the furrow well; then sow the seed and cover in at once. Asparagus.—The asparagus shoots should be allowed to grow after the month of May. If the bed is cut over too often it weakens the roots materially, and if the season should be a dry one these weakened roots will die out. Rhubarb. —The young rhubarb roots require clean and frequent cultivation. If the leaves turn yellow it is a sign that the soil is poor. Spread around each root a peek of fine manure, and with the maddock dig it in. Rhubarb Plants. About almost every farmhouse can be found an old, neglected row of rhubarb plants from which a few cuttings are made in spring for sauce or pies. The sourness and oftentimes rank flavor of these old rows of pieplant, as it Is otherwise called, make a little go a good way in most households, for after two or three cuttings the plants are usually abandoned and allowed to go to seed. This is all wrong. A good variety of rhubarb is worthy of being eaten the year around. Instead of keeping on with Hie poor kind, send for a package of rhubarb seed of one of the improved sorts, such as Myatt’s | Victoria, and sow it in a garden row. ' The plants will come from seed as read- i Uy as carrots or beets and mostly true ( to their kind, and the second season ' cuttings can be made freely. Out off | seed stalks as they appear and keep | the ground free from weeds and well I cultivated. If the rhubarb is given a garden row, this cultivation will come ! in with the regular garden cultivation ! and will give no trouble. Many farmers’ families do not appear to realize that rhubarb can be had in winter as well as summer. Cooked, as for sauce, either sweetened or unsweetened, and sealed in glass jars, it wiil keep perfectly, and will be greatly relished in the middle of winter. —Agriculturist. Insure Your Barns. Before the harvest is gathered, see that you have placed a reasonable insurance on the barn, out-buildings connected with the barn and on the hay barracks in the fields. Have the amount of insurance specified and written out in the policy on each building insured; then have the stock insured, the wagons, carriages and farm tools; and then the hay, grain and provender. The rate of insurance is -15 cents per SIOO in a good stock company, and in a mutual company much lower. There should be no delay in this matter, nor should there be any mistake made in placing the insurance upon the right buildings. With the best of care the barn may be burnt down by accident, and without an insurance the labor of years is lost in a few hoars. A yearly insurance should bo had. —The American. Direct'nj. Hired H Ip. laborers earn more when they are kept at one kind of business through- i out the day. If they are directed or ‘ permitted to go from field to field, or ■ from one kind of business to another I they vill not always giro a good account of their day’s work. It is a good practice to let our work by the job when it can be done. Then the man feels that he is at work for himself—and, of course, lie will do more work than he would for another man. Ditching, wood cutting and other ’business may he jobbed out. And this when the employer is not at home to direct the work. But the business of plowing, harrowing and tilling among the corn and potatoes sh mid bn done in the presence of the owner. When the ground has been well prepared, and no weeds interfere, a good man. who is used to handling a hoe, will dress an acre in a day. It is fortunate that men of largo capital cannot invest in farms, and realize os much as in bank and railroad stocks. If they could they would soon own most of the farms in the country. And farmers would become tenants, instead of owners, of the soil.—Farm and Home. Potatoes for Export, A correspondent writes from Paris toat potato culture is liable to receive

a new impetus since the plan of selling them peeled, sliced and dried, like certain fruits, seems to be the taste of the export market. The drying of the potatoes can follow the period of the desiccation of fruits. The method obviates decay and germination of the tuber, and, occupying a less volume, transpu t will be cheaper anti less difficult. The potatoes are peeled by machinery, next carefully washed, sliced in rounds, ami left for twenty minutes in a strong solution of kitchen salt. Tim brine produces firmness in the slices, and prevents their changing color, thus securing what sulphur dm's for fruits. Later tin' cuttings are left to drain, placed in the drying apparatus on hurdle shelves, and submitted to a temperature varying from 194 degrees Fahrenheit. They must remain longer in this hot bath than fruit. Before using, the slices have to be steeped from twelve to fifteen hours In water wlven they will become as fresh and as flavory as new potatoes.—Exchange. Leghorns for Eggs. For eggs nothing will equal a Leghorn, so it would be best to select * White Leghorn cockerel for the yearlings and a White Tx'ghorn cock for the w.p ttruv V’.-vn UCo..i

their wing on one side at the first Joint, so as to remove all (light feathers, and they will never bother you by flying .and can be kept within a two apd a-haif foot fence. This must, bp done at night by lamplight, so that the other chicks will not pick a.t the single drop of blood that forms. By morning these are healed and the chicks as lively as crickets. No bad effect is noticeable, and in the future the Leghorns are no more trouble than any Brahmas. leghorns can be put in pens of fifteen to twenty hens to one cock, according to the vigor of the cock. The best capons are made from any of the heavy breeds. None of the smaller breeds is worth bother lag with.—Germantown Telegraph. Soaking Parsnip Seel. It is very hard to get parsnip seed to grow, probably because the dry, woody covering over the germ absorbs water very slowly. The seed needs so long a time to germinate that weed seeds which have been soaking in the ground all winter get the start and make it a difficult crop to care for. We have always found it an advantage to soak the seed until it was beginning to sprout. At first it should Im put In water as hot as the hand can bear, and so kept fifteen minutes. 'Fids will be enough to wet through the outside covering. and will thus hasten germination. When the seed is planted especial care should be taken to compact the soil closely around it.- Exchange. Secdins: Clover in Knolls. It is .'’ten hard work to got a do- t seeding on the dry, elevated knolls In grain fields. Lack of moisture is usually the cause. But the evil may Im remedied by drawing a few yards of stable manure and spreading over the knolls. The manure not only protects the young clover plants, but it also holds the moisture in the soil, by cheeking evaporation. This will soon make them as rich as any part of the field. It is usually the lack of clover seeding on such places that keeps them poor. Tlii it the Fruit E irl y. Where thinning of fruit is known to be necessary, the earlier the work is done the better. It is very important to have the sap all turned to the fruit that is intended to be left to make a crop. Fruits that are likely to fall early, and thus thin themselves, may be left till this self thinning has been partly accomplished. But when three and sometimes four buds for clusters of grapes are seen on a young»shoot, it is always safe to thin them to two. The fruit will be finer and better. Ashes for Peari. If you have a pear tree that bears cracked fruit, scatter wood ashes all over the surface of the ground under the tree out about two feet, beyond th“ outer limbs. Then, at fruit-time, note the result. If the ashes can be stirred two or three inches into the soil, all the better.—American Gardening.

Dairy Dota. Milk with dry bauds. Put the milk into cans as soon as possi hie. Remove the cream before the milk Is sour. Always strain milk is snort as possible after milking. Harsh treatment of the cow lessens the quantity of milk. Keep no more cows than can. be fed and handled profitably. Good blood lies at the bottom, for a good foundation is not all. A cow in a poor condition is sure to give poor, thin, inferior milk. The deeper the milk is set, the less airing the cream gets while arising. The market calls for a fresh-made, sweet-flavored butter, and will have it. When butter is gathered in the cream tn granular form it is never overworked. A large udder does not always indicate the amount of milk a cow will When the cows have been long in milk, the churning becomes more difficult. Working out buttermilk and working in salt is where the overworking Is done. A really fat heifer is apt to divert into flesh food intended for the production of milk. The whole of the cream should be well stirred every time that fresh cream is added. A temperature between GO and 70 degrees is best in churning, and the cream should be skimmed' off.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE LESSON. Reflections of an Elevating Charactex —Wholesome Food for Thought Studying the Scriptural Lesson Inteltisently and Profitably. Lesson for June 27. Gold, n Text. “This do in remeimbranc* of me.' - Luke 22: 19. The Lord’s Supper is the subject of this lesson 1 Cor. II: 23-29. The passage selected for the lesson on the I ord s Sup-in-r is from a chapter in which Paul aims to correct serious abuse* which had grown up in the church at Corinth. It apiusars that there was a total lack of regard tor the proprieties of worship. In particular, the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper was perwrtul into an ordinary nnd somewhat riotous meal. The early Christians celebrated this ordinance frequently, at some imr/ds probably every •lay, ami somethin « imm.sliately preceding or following a regular tm al.

BUTTONS MADE OF MILK. The Remarkable Invention of n Clever Englishman^ For a long time buttons and other articles for which bone is generally used have been made from congealed blood, purchased at the slaughter houses and treated with some .substance that hardens it to the proper consistency. An Englishman has invented a process whereby the same articles that are now made from blood can be made from milk and it will soon be Introduced into this country. The milk used Is the skim milk. The process of turning this liquid Into buttons, pool balls, combs, back of mair brnslies and similar articles consists, first, of straining the milk through a cloth in order to remove every vestige of cream, ami then mixing it with a substance, the ingredients of which are a secret of the inventor, ami is>mprossing It. At the end of thri'o days the .substance Is as solid as celluloid and is Lteady to 1m» cut and shapisl in any way Jthe manufacturer wishes.

RECORD OF THE WEEK INDIANA INCIDENTS TERSELY TOLD. Historic Old Theological College at Hartsville Forced to Close Its Do-rs —Recreant Lover Killed in Sight of His Sweetheart. Old Indiana College Suspends. The Hartsville College, the oldest institution of learning in the State, has suspended for at least one year, and probably permanently. The graduation exercises closed Saturday, and it was formally atmounci-ii by tlie L.ar.l of trustees that they had d.r cideil to close the doors. Fortyseven years ago this college was founded by the I’nited Brethren C-hurch. Hartsville was selected as the site because it was a quiet place, tt n miles from a railroad, ami in a most picturesque locality. The college at one time had several hundred students, nearly every State east of the Mississippi being represented. For tlie past fifteen years the college has been, gradually going down hill. At the close o>f the winter term there were only fifteen stud* uts, ami but eight showed up for the last lerm. President Barnaby resigned his jiosition. as his salary was not sufficient. The trustees were anxious that ilhe hist term lie closed before siispemiing, and the 1 huri h was appealed to. with the result that enough money was raised to procure the s.rvices . f .me of the instructors, L. B. Baldwin, as president. The direct reason of the failure of the institution is that the church conference failed to give it the annual allowance. The amount had nut been sufficient for the past five years to employ the best faculty. A new college has been established at Huintington. mid it will be opened this fall. Tin re is now but one other college of this church in America, and that is at
