,43 +- AGRIOUITURE. A crwB of 14-year.old boys, in Webs ter 1'atisb, La., nas been organized to o compete with one another,in the culti- ti vation of one aore of corn each. The b lad who produces the largest crop of is corn on his acre is to receive live bush- y of corn from each of the other members i of the club. Each selects his own acre a and manures and cultivates it to suit n himself. suppose there are twenty ci members in the club; the lucky one will 01 receive niuty-five bushels of corn,which u will be a handsome premium. Every h member will be benefitted by an in- 01 creased yield and the practical experi- h enoe of all secured by the contest, Why si not get up such clubs elsewhore,and let T the lathers know what their eons can dol b Come, boys. b A GREAT many farmers comfort them- Z selves with the notion that if they change y at ed with some other farmer they are ai doing a big thing. This is a mistaken g idea. Seed should be improved and taken from the farm where it is grown, y and to which it has adapted itself. At home is the place for improvement, h The idea that the little germ of a seed of can carry the good qualities of a good m farm with it is ridiculous; but it can g carry with it peculiarities in Its nature b (growth and maturity) acquired in one k plaee,which will be unsuited to another. re We therefore advise farmers to improve the seed in their own landby careful se lection of the best ears for planting. TnE commonly received advice to or clardists to scrape the rough bark from t< old apple trees has been contradicted, n some having tried it and concluded that & the practice did more harm than good. al The rough bark is a protection to the it tree from sudden changes of tempera- is ture. The benefit often claimed from ai scraping trees comes from the greater lI attention paid to them in other respects ti by men who take this trduble. 'White- u washing apple trees is equally ineflct- b uial for good. d c, Tin conveyan;e of pollen from one 11 flower to another in cross-iertilization is effected naturally by the wind or by the agency of insects and other creatures. t, Flowers that require the aid of insects ti usiully offler some attraction to their ti visitors in the shape of bright color,fra- P granco or sweet juices. The color and " markings of a flower often serve to gui;le N the insects to the honey,in the obtaining ti of which they are compelled either to 0 remove or deposit pollen. n - - e Foawr, clean hog's lard rubbed three i or four times on any kind of waits on a horses or cattle will remove them on 0 three or four applications. I have re- 0 moved the warts time after time, and have never been able to find the wart ti for the fourth application. If 1 should a send the Latin name for lard and tell 01 men to pay fifty cents to the druggists ci for about two cents worth of good lard this remedy would be oftenor used. TiE ohl-fashioned idea that exposing b stock to the cold in winter hardened d them 1ad at leust this basis of truth: It u took off the soft spots and left only thu 1 bones and skin. Besides, it destroyed r the less hardy animals, ain1t though c ellen stunting the growth of those that lived, they had generally a cap)acity for .0 enduring cold. ThoIi amall shaggy shot- - P land ponies are examples of what this method wvill do for horses; but this is a direction iin which low horsemen will g! wish to breed. P . Tiux Europ)eani average of beets in wv about twelve tois to the ae, from 0l wh1ichi is extracted over a ton of sugar. El Fanice nearly suppllies all her sugar oi fromi beets, and Germiany is venturing a0 largely in t heir dultivation. S3everal ox- tc peiinuiit in this country have proved di failures, but the cause is attributed to w lack of knowledge as to the b)est and pl cheapest method of producing the beets j) and manufacturing the sugar. 0< ti T1ue first and most inmportant consid- 01 oration in selecting a spot for the gar (tenl is the situation. The most suitable is a vecry gentle inclinationi toward the east or southbeast, that it may hav'e allr the adv'antaiges of the morning sun. T1he niext preferable exposure is south or I southwest.

With good weoathier, a good breed, sound corn and regular feeding this average may be reached, but not otherwise. IN all of the tests of new grapes it should be remembered that the test for mildew is not conclusive unless the vines are exempt. It would seem tuat after a feow years the annual pruning destroys the proper proportion be tween Lrauceh and root. .if this be the true cam.e root pruning should be a remedy.

A NOTED BUT UNTITLED WOMAN. --- [From the Boston Gobe.) Messrs. Editor. t-. The above Is a good.likeness of Mrs. Lydia I. PInI& ham, of Lynn, Mass., who abovoallother human beings may be truthfully called the "Dear Friend of Woman," as some of her correspondents love to call her. She is zealously devoted to her work, which is the outcome of a life-study, and is obliged to keep six lady assistants, to help her answerthe large correspondence which daily pours In upon her, each bearing its spopial burden of suffering, or joy at release flow it. Her Vegetable Compound is a medicine for good and not evil purposes. I have personally investigated it and am satisfied of the truth of this. On account of Its proven merits. it is recommended and prescribed by the best physicians in the country. One sayst "it works like a charm and saves much pain. It will cure entirely the worst form of failing of the uterus, Leucorrhea, irregular and painful Menstruation, all Ovarian Troubles, Inflammation and Ulceration, Floodings, all Displacements and the con sequent spinal weakness, and is especially adapted to the Change of Lifo." It permeates every portion of the system, ard gives now life and vigor. It removes faintness, filatulency, destroys all craving for stimulants, and relieves weak ness of the stomach. It cures Bloating, Headaches, Nervous Prostration, Oneral Debility, Sleeplessness, Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of bearlpg down, causing pain, wolght and backache, Is always permanently cured by its use. It will at all times, and under all circumstances, act in harmony with the law that governs the fomalo system. It costs only $1. per bottle or six for $5., and Is sold by druggists. Any advice required as to speeial cases, and the names of many who have been restored to perfect health by the use of the Vegetable Compound, can be obtained by addressing Mrs. P., with stamp for reply, at her home in Lynn, Mass. For Kidney Complaint of either sex this compound is unsurpassed as abundant testimonials show. "Mrs. Pinkham's Liver Pills," says one writer, "are the best in the world for the cure of Constipation, Biliousness and Torpidity of the liver. Her Blood Purifer works wonders in its special line and bids fair to equal the Compound in its popularity.
