+- 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

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

about twelve tois to the ae, from 0l

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

T1ue first and most inmportant consid- 01
oration in selecting a spot for the gar

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. If sheltered from the north /
or northwest so much the better. Al- I

1 ExPEIIMCWTS by carefuj breeders give
sonic valuable facts for estimating the
cost 01f producing pork, It is concededI
that one bushel of corn should produce
ten pounds of pork, but everythmng de

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

true cam.e root pruning should be a
remedy.
E nYone interested in potato0s
should try on a. small scale new varieties I

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.
All must respect her as an Angel of Morey whose soly
ambition is to (1o good to others,
