BURNING POTATO TOPS.
How much are potato tops worth as
a fertilizer? This question is naturally
aroused by a criticism which we find
in the Practical Farmer by Theodore
B. Terry, who is well known as a successful
Ohio farmer and agricultural
writer. Ho says that these potato
tops contain manurial elements, which,
excepting the ash, are entirely dissipated
by burning. But tho tops in
all cases after digging are pretty sure
to contain germs of the potato rot'
fungus, which any other method of
treating them except to burn them '
will leave to do their work the following
year. These potato topB if left on 1
the ground will be blown by winds ]
into tne corners of fences, as we have 1
often seen them. The soil in the
middle of the field will not be benefited
by ttyem at all. If the potato '
tops are put on the manure pile to be 1
RRrftrL th? ffprms of fnntras will he
scattered all through the manure, and 1
be carried out may be to the fieldB
that are to have potatoes on next year.
More than this, the dust of soil where 1
potatoes are grown is blown by winds :
for long distances. It is thus we be- 1
lieve that the fungus of potato rot is '
often carried to distant fields. If the 1
potato rot is to be stamped out, the
first thing to be done is to burn potato
tops as soon as possible after potatoes
have been dug.?American Cultivator.
THE COMING BUTTERMAKER.
In looking over the time which has
elapsed since 1 first became interested
in dairying, I find there has been
much ohange, writes Professor T. L.
Haecker, of Minnesota. The butter
or cheese maker who has come in con- !
tact with his fellow-workerB has added
to his Btore of knowledge and made
wonderful progress. On the other
hand, the home dairyman has made
but little advance. I am surprised to
see that methods employed to-day in
making butter on the farm are little
better than those used fifteen years
ago. It is not because the farmers
have do advantages, but simply because
they do not use them. The person
ot coming in contact with those
similarly employed gets an idea that
hiB methods are the be9t methods and
that his butter is the best butter.
Every farmer's wife makes good butter.
In all my travels I have never
seen a woman admit that she made
poor butter.
Now on theotherhand, inthebuttermakers
of the factory and creamery I
find a bright intelligent class of men.
Still, there is much to learn. The
coming buttermaker will have a larger
field than the one you occupy. He
will ot only be a buttermaker, but he
will be a practical manufacturer. He
will be a teacher. His instructions
will go out on the farm and he will be
an instructor in the best methods of
raising crope. He will inform himself
as to the culture of field crops and the
proper curing o:' fodder and forage.
He will become an expert judge of
dairy products. He will study the
best methods of breeding, reariug and
managing dairy stock. When by
proper eelection and feeding of dairy
cow6 you can teach the farmer that he
cau produce oue poun 1 of butter ou
four cents' worth of feed where it now
'?oets him. eight, yon see what a wonder- j
ful opportunity there is for develop- j
ment arid what is the actual condition |

picking apples.
For ordinary trees one ladder,
twenty-two or twentv-three feet long, j
sharpened at the foot to a V to aid in
raising, and oue fourteen to sixteen
leet, are the most desirable leugths.
Let the ladder come eareiully
against the tree direct in line with the !
body ot the tree. ?*ew a strong wooden i
or pheetiron hoop iuside the mouth of j
a co.Qiuou two-':?usbel bag by bring- !
ing the edges of the bag over the j
hoop. Fasten a strap to the iowit
end of the bag and around the hoop,
and on the opposite side tie to the
hoop a nice, strong book. Hang the
hook on a round ou the left side,, just
high enough so most of the apples will
require picking down.
Put both bands around cluatera and
pull them into the bag at once, swing
twigs over the mouth of the bap; and
rake them all in by drawing the hands
on each side from the top to the bottom.
Pick with both hands. If at
any place you cannot stand securely
place the right foot through one
round and hold to the lower one, and
it is perfectly safe. Piok a narrow
strip if the tree is loaded, but wide an
possible if it is not. If possible pick
to the top. directly over the trunk of
the tree, bo it can be pioked clean or
nearly so by once over on the ouiteide.
Throw the strap over the shoulder
and lift the bag of apples just ec.ough
to loosen the hook, which throw over
inside of the bag and let it slide down
on the side of the ladder. Three times
down should fill a barrel.
One can piok faster, reach farther,
has freer use of his body and arms,
can put more in his bag, and is safer
in case of accidents, and saves a great
deal of heavy lugging and many a
shoulder ache by hanging his bug by
a hook instead of on his shoulder. In
this year of abundant yield, low prices
and sharp competition, time and
amount are items to take into consideration,
and this is written for those
who wish to attain proficiency in the
art of apple picking, and wno w.isn to
pick twenty and thirty barrels e? day
and not break their baoks in the at'
tempt.?New York Tribune.
CORN AND GRASS PIGS.
"We have heard some very suocefisful
breeders say they want no better feed
for growing pigs than good oorn, says
L.N. Bonham in the Breeders' Gazette.
Visiting some of these breeders whose
sheet anohor is sound oorn, wo invariably
find their pigs in fine oondition,
fat enough to show or go to the blook.
It is worthy of notice here, too, that
they expect to have all these pigs sold
between the ages of five to seven
months. Bat, while they give these
pigs all the shelled corn soaked in
water twelve to twenty-fonr hours,
that the pigs will eat ap olsan in a
half honr or less, we also find the pigs
have the range of the orohard or bine
grass lots or clover field with shade
and water always accessible.
These oorn feeders have noticed
that they have "awful luok" if the
season is such that they have little or
no grass, or olover has failed. They
may feed ever so carefully and add
slop in abundance made from mill
feed, yet the pigs have not the soft
f.oat and oily skio or ready appetite
they have when the grass is fresh and
Abundant, and clover is young and
plenty, or the pigs in the orohard get
apples and grass as they like between
naps.
The value of good pasture, whether
of clover or blue grass, timothy, orchard
grass, red top, or rye, is hard
to estimate. So great is it that we
can safely assert the cheapest and

without it. We may do as the Danes,
Canadians and other successful pork
makers have to do where oats, peas
and barley grow, and oil cake, rape
and vetches are added for variety,
and we may learn that their success as
competitors for the best markets of
the world comes not from the faot
that they do not feed any corn, but
that they feed mixed "rations less rich
in starch and richer in bone and
muscle formers. With our ability to
grow clover and grass wherever corn
growf, we can so cheaply furnish olover
and grass that during the majority
of the year when pasture is available,
we can have a well-balanced ration for
hogs of all ages at lees cost than our
rivals.?Western Rural.

next summer ahead of any we h&ve had
in the past.
The pit for next spring's hotbed
should be dug this fall, the frames and

Observation teaches that young trees
should not be cultivated too late in
the season, or the bark will not ripen
up for the winter.
Tnrnips and beets for table use
should be buried in sand or eurth in
bins or barrels, They will come out

Salsify tor winter use may be dug
before the ground is frozen solid and
buried in sand or dirt in the oellar
and be found solid when wanted for
use.
As soon a* the ground is frozen is
the proper time to cover strawberries.
Use slough hay, forest leaves', pine
needles or cut corn stalks. Cover
lightly; just hide the leaves.
Spinach to be carried through the
winter successfully should have a light
mulch of leaves or coarse hay?anything'

They are getting to be an scarce as the

they ava a fowl well worthy the best

taste they are the superior of an/-domestic
fowl for table use. Thsir flesh
is palatable, having just enough
"gamene.ss" about it to give it a peculiar
relish. They are fairly good layers,
and as burglar alarms and scarecrows
they are hard to beat. Try a

Use for Oyster Shells,
The waters of Maryland produce
one-third of the total oyster supply in
the world. It yieldt: twice as many of '
these luscious bivalves as are grown '
i:a All foreign countries combined.
During the present oentnry it has put
on the market 400,000,000 bushels of
the toothsome mollusku. These have 1
sold for the enormous sum of $250,- 1
000,000. Almost all of this country 1
is dependent for the abundanco End
cheapness of this edible on the supply <
of the Chesapeake. From here also i
come very nearly all of the oysters
used for canning. In fact, the output 1
of this industry of Maryland i3 equal
to one-sixth of all the fisheries of uhe j
Doited States put together, nays the I
Philadelphia Times. I
The quantity of oyster shells landed <
upon the shores of Maryland, during '
the last century haB been reckoned at I
12,000,000 tons. Until very lately the 1
canning firms ha\e had much trouble
i in orpt.tinflf rid of the ahellf. havinc to

in fact, for the removal of all that <
they could not give away. Recently, <
however, they have been able to uell
them. They are now shipped to all
parts of the country and are utilized
variously for roads, for lime and employed
in making ooal gas. They have
also been found to serve almost as well ;
as stone in the manufacture of special ,
grades of irop for railway beds, Gul

having found that they afford suitable .
surfaces for young oysters to attach* ^

A Waste Paper Basket Story,
The editor of a popular weekly was |
placed in a great dilemma the other | ;
day. Having with much card selected
six complete stories for publication, ]
he placsd tbem for safety on the floor <
underneath the waste paper basket. :
On leaving late at night he forgot to
change their position, and when the
oharwo man came the next moirning she ,
swept them up with other litter and ,
put them in the dustbin. The same ,
morning the dustman came round, and
the paper, including the editor's price- J
less stories, was placed in large sacks j
and sect off to the Salvation Army
depot. The editor's despair ?t discovering
tiae fate of his manuscripts may ,
be imagined, but he is a man of much (
decision, and, having learned tne pro* (
;esB of collection, he chartered a han- .
som, and taking two assistants with ,
him Bet off for the Salvation Army j
quarters. It was of course impossible t
for the authorities here to tell which |
bag contained the litter. The huge f
saoks, forty in number, whioh had
been collected during the morning,
were without any mark of identity,
and it was at once apparent that if the
manuscripts wqre to be recovered it ]
would be necessary to search the en- ]
tire litter. Undismayed at the pros* ,
peot, the editor and his assistants tooa
off their coats and went to work. Af- .
ter many hours of weary search five
out of the six were ultimately recovered.
The last and, according to the
editor, the most priceless, evaded all (

in tbe earth with which they are !
smeared, of two deadly germs?a septic f

The first oE these produce death fron j

hours. In oases where septic vibrior [
has lost its virulence, the tetanus bacil ,!

Married In Lion's Cage.
Dignified lions and stately lionesses
were the bridal attendants of a happy
couple recently married in South
ifrica.
In a cage where half a dozen kings
of the forest strode uneasily aboul
and growled the man swore to "love,
cherish and protect" the "woman, who
pledged herself to "love, honor and
obey." And when the ceremony was
over the crowd gave three oheers that
utartled all the animals in the menngerie,
and they excitedly began howling
and soreeching.
The ceremony referred to took
plaoe at Johannesburg, the bridegroom
being one of the lion tamers
attached to the circus.
With true showman instinct the
manager of the oircus arranged the
wedding, offering, of course, substantial
inducements to the happy
couple. As a result, the circus tent
was crowded the night of the ceremony;
The minister was invited to enter the
cage also, but preferred to remain
outside.
Standing ineide the cage, with their,
hands clasped, the two listened to the
crords that made them man and wife,
ind gave the neoessary responses as
clearly as though they were in a
jhurcli.
The bridegroom held a whip in his
iisengaged hand, and at times he
glanced around at his fierce pets.
Banging against the bars of the cage
were several weapons convenient to
txis hand in caee the lions should object
to the presence of a stranger in
their home. But the beasts behavod
remarkably well. * They had been
decorated with flowers and ribbons,
and, by way of precaution, had been
given a special wedding breakfast of
unusual proportions.
The bride wore a conventional
bridal dress, but the bridegroom was
ittired in his usual garments. He was
ifraid the lions might not hnow him
if he wore a frock coat.?London

The Altemoon Nap.
The frequency with which me.dical
men are asked whether it is harmful
to indulge in the "afternoon nap" is
ot, perhaps, surprising for several
reasons. Most persons have had experience
of the seductive charms of
the somnolence which has followed
the comfortable ingestion of a midday
or evening meal. The meal finished,
the diner arranges himself comfortably
in an armchair; it may be he lights a
pipe or cigar, takes np a newspaper
and prepares to make the most of the
restful condition of his mind and body.
Bnt nature soon begins to assert her
sway. In time the eyelids olose, the
head begins to nod, the newspaper
Falls from the hands, the pipe, no
longer supported in the month, falls
to the floor, and the symptoms of a
nap are complete. Whether the
"winks" be forty or one hundred in
number, the result is the same?a
short, Bound sleep. Then comes the
question?Is it harmful thus to fall
asleep after a meal? By no means;
for the very obvious reason that the
process is merely a physiological one,
Eind as sach, when it occurs, is quite
natural. When digestion is in progress,
nature has arranged that all the
available blood in the body shall be
colleoted in and about the digestive
organs. Consequently the blood supply
to the brain falls to a low ebb,
and thus sleep is easily induced. On
the other hand, of course, physiologically,
it is wrong for brain work to
bo attempted immediately after a
solid meal.?Medical Press.

of Her Recovery.
From Union and Advertiser, Rochester, N. Y
Two miles west of the charming town of |
North Parma, N. Y., upon a long ridge from 1
which is to be obtained a magnificent view
of Lake Ontario, stands the handsome and !
substantial farm-house of Farmer Isaac Curtis.
All his life, and Sir. Curtis is now well
on toward fifty years of age, this affable
gentleman hns dwelt in Parma. He is a man
well known for bis sterling qualities and for
the richness of his broad acres which stretch
almost to the lake shore. Nobody in the
whole country-side is more favorably known
than Mr. Curtis. When a reporter visited
him a short lime since he found evidences
of prosperity and happiness oa every side.
Mr. Curtis was engaged In reading up the
silver question and greeted the Union man
very pieasanny. in answer to a question
he said: "Yes, indeed, this is a place'in
which everyone should bo well and happy.
Bat this was far from being a happy home
two years ago. Among my other troubles
was the most serious illness of my daughter.
Alice.
i "Alice was then eighteen years of age.
People said that she would not last the summer
through. She was thin and emaciated.
Her blood seemed turned to water. 8he had
neuralgia, and, indeed, I don't know what
?he didn't have. We tried doctors out here t
and in Rochester, but without avail. I spent'
hundreds of dollars for their servlcps.
"Home of our nei^hbore recommended
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
They had read about the medicine in the
papers. Well, I had Alice take about three
boxes of the pills, Rome of whloh wo bought
of Orange Green, the druggist In the village,
and others at J. K. Post's store in Rochester.
"From the first the girl began to improve.
You could almost see her grow stronger.
Why, I can remember when she couldn't
walk up or down stairs. You should have
seen her after taking the Pink Pills for a
week. Alice has become a flcrong, hearty
woman, and if there is any one thing we delight
in recommending to our neighbors
and friends it's Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People."
