I A Paying Crop of Oats and Peas The best crop I made this year was from four acres of run down land which would not I produce more than one-half a D' of cottoh per acre. I turned this land, harrowed thoroughly and drilled in oats of ' the 100-bushel variety. The only I fertilizer needed was three sacks of nitrate of soda. I made 200 bushels of oats on the four acres. C I- then sowed this land to a mixture of Unknown peas and Amber cane seed and made 13 wagon loads, averaging 1,000 pounds to the load, of good i roughage off of this same four acres. I did almost all of the work myself, and give below the I cost of crop, not including the work: Seed oata. 14 bju, at 85o per bu.. $11.90 Peas. 4 bu at ..2 per bu ---------- 8.00 A Cans seed, 1 bu at $LrO per bu.... 1.50 Nitrate sods, 8 sacks at 85 70 sack 17? 10 Total.--------...--...- ....-$38.50 Value of crop Oats, 200 bu at 850 bu........----10.00 H ay, 64 tons at $15 per toni--.... 7.50 Oat straw,............----.......... ...1 .00 Total----------.......-.._..-.$82.50 ( Profit.--..-- ...............--$144 00 E -S.

This a quickly done and the silver does kot incline to retarnish so soon as with ither polishes. Try wiping the matting on bedroom Loors with a mop wrung out of salt vater, before sweeping. Rinse as ften as necessary to take up the dust. Phen it requires only a moment to weep up and you have no dust flying. Socks and stockings should be larned on the right side, so that the mooth part of the mended place will ome next to the foot, thus preventing rritation. It is much better when cleaning ugs or Brussels carpets to lay on the :rass right side down, beat thorough F, then turn on to a clean place and weep well, as it does not wear them o much as to whip them on a clothes [no. A little vinegar in water will clean nd brighten windows better than nything else. When eggs are broken and can not e used at once, remove from the hell and keep well-covered in a cool lace.
