About twelve years ago I bought a , small mountain farm of forty acres in tbe fruit belt of Western Maryland. Tbe farm was divided into six small ! fields, and as is customary in all such farms, all tbe larger stones have been dumped in tbe fence rows. Here was , a bard problem for us to sol re. Tbese rows of stone, sometimes four feet deep, were one tangled mass of wild , grape vines, briars, etc. Tbey were a ( constant worry and expense to us. On , one of tbe rows tbere stood an oldfashioned pear tree, tbe fruit from which was fairly good for cooking. A grand tree it was. If this will do so well here, why will not apples grow just as nicely in sucb conditions. I concluded it was worth a trial. Every twenty-five feet I had holes ( opened In the stone piles some four { feet across. Ail stone were removed with an ordinary digging iron. The oil was loosened several Inches Into the subsoil. I planted the trees carefully and gave tbem good attention. I can now show the entire forty acres surrounded with a thrifty, well-growing six-year-old apple orchard, doing as well as trees planted at the same time in a regular apple orchard. Of course these trees must be looked after with mattock and briar scythe. They will soon be In line bearing condition. My neighbors said I was a lunatic, etc.. but "be laughs best who laughs last." At present prices and outlook for apples, It is my turn to smile. We bare about 600 trees on the farm, and half , of tbem are in these heretofore barren and expensive fence row*.?J. A. Beeardson, in American Agriculturist Ktklii Battir la Winter. The advantages of making butter in winter and letting the cows go dry, if they must do so at all. In tbe beat of the summer, say in July or August. are that It costs less to Keep tne ary cow in summer. She is flash with milk when la the barn, and In the spring, when she is about three mouths in calf, she comes to the green food which keeps her well up to her full capacity until summer comes. Thus she gives more milk in the season. The milch cows are often neglected, or at least the mllkiag hours made more irregular during the summer, the milking being done earlier in the morning and later at night during the long days, to give more time for the other work, when the ten-hour-a-day rule does not prerail on the farm. The farmer will be more willing to give his cows good food and good care at the barn in winter if they are giving flow of milk enough to pay for it. while if dry In two summer months, or even In August and September, they can find food enough In the pasture, unless there chances to be a very severe drought. The plague of flies would cut down the supply of milk in those months if the cow came fresh in the spring. The prices of milk and butter are higher in winter than in summer, and are likely to be until the majority imvo phnnml to winter dalrvlng.wblch is not likely to happen very soon. The calf dropped in early winter is free from the torment of ihe flies for the first six months of its life, and is old enough to be turned to pasture when the grass hns started, and last, but not least, the fnrmer has more time to watch after the care of both cows and calves In winter than in summer. If the barn is warm and comfortable be will have a chance to wutcb them, to learn what they like best and thrive best on. or what winter ration Is best for milk production. Breed the cows in January that the calves may be dropped in September, or if a second ervices is necessary, in February, and the profits of dairying will be increased, whether milk is sold or batter made at borne. The skimmilk is needed apd at hand, lwth for the fall Utter* of pigs and the spring litters from the time they are weaned from the sow until they can eat heartier food.?The Cultivator. yixlag Chicken Coop* For Winter.

Aside from a place reasonably warm to roost in. chickens, to do well, should bare a warm, sunny place in which to exercise on warm days.

Aa early as it can be done after Cbristmaa (especially when snow la on the ground) la when many farmers aow clover seed on their wheat At least such method baa been in use in the past, and no doubt It will be continued for many years to come; but it Is well worthy the consideration of farmera whether the practice of seeding clover on wheat Is the best When the farmer drills his wheat In the fall, at the same time applying fertiliser, he follows in tbe spring with clover on wheat, frequently sowing tbe seed on the snow in order that tbe work may be done uniformly. The clover secures a start, and occupies the ground until the wheat Is taken off. when It then has fall occupancy or toe co ud It ions of tbe soil and the weather. The farmer doe* this because he believes that for a portion of tbe year tbe land Is growing two crops at the same time, acd be la thereby effecting a Having of space. It mnst be admit' ted that some of tbe finest crops of clover grown are produced in tbe mannor described (seeding on growing wheat), and that there Is also a gain tc tbe farmer by so doing, to a certain extent That the oaring of space 1* apparent cannot be denied, but wbetber tbe system is the best Is a point worthy of discussion at farmers' meetings. All crops give the beet results only under the most favorable conditions, though certain crops will thrive and pay even where there are drawbacks to progress. Clover and wheat are entirely unlike, for which reason It Is contended that they do not conflict in the effort to obtain plant food. Both Dlanta must be supplied *with potash. however, end should the clover be allowed to produce seed It will also draw largely upon tbe soil for phosphoric acid. It derires but little nitrogen from the soil, while wheat is Just the opposite in that respect. But l>otb crops require au abundance of moisture, and here the question arises as to the advisability 01 having two crops on the same land at a time when there is liability of drought and the land incapable of providing a sullieiency of moisture for even a single crop. Does the clover Injure the wheat or the wheat the clover during dry periods? With an aver.ige of only fourteen bushels of wheat per acre for this country, it is evident that tbe land dees not yield as much wheat as It should, and with poor "catches" of clover, and tbe crop easily killed by drought, it is plain that the method now practiced of growing clover may be improved. F armers who are "land poor", have no excuse for having two crops on the same locution, and the clover crop is one so valuable that it deserves tionicuung Wll'-r iu an Iicaiui>u> > ...? being compelled to grow and thrive on land that ban not been prepared for it. It Is expensive to sow clover on snow, during very cold weather, as many of th;? seed* are destroyed and birds consume a large portion. If tbe land- is not level the melting snow causes uneven distribution of the seeds, and a large proportion of them also remain on the surface uncovered and fail to germinate. These are some of the causes of "poor catelle*," which frequently induce farmers to plow up the crop, or turn ?toc< on it. waiting another year only to repeat tbe same method. It is claimed tjpt younz clover cannot endure the direct rays of the sun, and is benefited by tbe shading received by wheat. The fact is that If clover land is plowed, harrowed line, and the seed sown later, being brushed in, so as to be well covered, or rolled, it would icquire 110 shading. ,k " I'l miliitrlt* anml IV?l j? h n uuiu iiiiuniu o? uu roots down into the tint* soil. and seeuro moisture enough to protect it from drought.

"I always think there is something wrong with a man when he begins to m down the world," remarked a Christian who was more noted for the niriaat? of his manner and attire than for his spir* ; ituality. "This world's a pretty good place I to live, and the man who is always harping on its evils has missed luring a good time, you may depend upon it." Separation implies a union. It may ho that the human heart is so closely united to the world that it fails to see the eviL and therefore blinds its eye to warning after warning against it found in every book of the Bible. a "Christ," says the Apostle Paul, "has r? ocemea as iron mis preen vni wow, and in Another place, "Demaa hath toe taken me, having loved this present evil world."

Oh, the bitterness of walking hand in hand, bound by unbreakable ties, to one who does not love the God we Jove!
