Parsnips For Mitch Cotts.
Tho parsnip is probably one of the
f?ost roi>.< ever grown for milch cows,
and it lms a great advantage in that it
may remain in the field until spring
win 11 other roots are all gone, and
then he used until grass has grown. It
Is as easily grown as the carrot, and
like that root it wants a deep, rich and
mellow soil. Many object to growing
it oven in the garden, because the
woods are apt to get such a growth
before the parsnips come up that the
labor of weeding is greatly increased,
but this may be remedied by mixing a
few radish <ecd with the parsnip seed,
which will come up so that the rows
can be sun and hoed out long-before
lae parsnips are up. They can he
pnllrd when the parsnips are thinned.
Ventilating the Cow Stable.

maj be admitted through the opening
in the rear at a, care being used to
place the opening so as to prevent direct
drafts upon the animals. If the
cow.n face the feeding alley running
'alorg the side next the main barn, a
good place for the introduction of
fresh air would be at the end of the
alley, say at b. During very cold
weather these openings may be closed
entirely. In ventilating through chutes
one should be placed every twenty-live
feet throughout the length of the barn.
?American Agriculturist. ...
Raising Irish Potatoes.
Success in growing Irish potatoes de
puims uij iuu miugs cuieaj. uut' lo
deep plowing anil thorough pulverization
of the soil before planting and the
other is early cultivation. Other things
being equal, potatoes that are planted
in deeply stirred, thoroughly pulverized
soil will produce a third more potatoes
during a dry season than if
planted in comparatively shallow
ground. Deep plowing is best lor a
rainy season, too, as the surplus moisttire
passes down more readily, and the
top soil may then be cultivated oftener
than if plowed light originally. In
fact, in growing this crop deep plowing
is very essential to success. It is much
easier to dig or plow out the potatoes,
too, when the soil has been deeply and
thoroughly stirred during cultivation.
That in favor of early cultivation is
imnnn.nnt- Jn*f as snon ns the
sprouts break the soil the cultivator
should he applied and used often until
the vine is in bloom. In laying the
*.top by a heavy double ridge should
be thrown to the row. This is another
feature of importance should the
weather turn out dry during the latter
part of the season, whieh is so often
the case. With the Seed deeply planted
in loose soil, the rows thoroughly clean
and well ridged up a: blooming time a
good crop. J; ay he said to l e assured.

IiicrcRRlnc Soil Fertility.
Any system of farming that has

ercd of paramount Importance, nn^
their disposal only loss so. To fcoil all
crops, with perhaps the exception ot
wheat, upon the farm, is to increase
the soil fertility in the quickest way
providing, of course, the feeding is
properly done. To begin with, no farm
is complete without its horses. On a
farm of forty acres two horses will be
sufficient. A sixty acre farm will need
three, and so on for each additional
twenty acres up to 100. After that one
horse for each additional forty acres
would be sufficient. I am speaking of
work horses that are necessary for
plowing, sowing, reaping, hauling, etc.,
on the farm. Should one care to raise
young horses for market they would
take the place of some other animal.
Cattle anil lioes are and should he
the main dependence for stock on the
average farm. Cattle should have first
place in that tkoy are so very helpful
in the profitable raising of hogs. When
pigs have a part milk ration their
growth is fast and their health assured.
Cows are the greatest consumers
of rough provender, thus converting
what would otherwise he a total
loss into a gilt-edged article. The farm
of the dairyman is a farm always increasing
in value and fertility, and as
a general thing the dairyman feeds
more than he produces on his farm,
thus bringing in fertility from elsewhere.
The average fanner should
keep more cattle, and there should be
a preponderance of milk cows. For
every good cow there should be a good
brood sow, for in the economy of a
farm these two animals go together,
the hog supplementing the cow. The
idea is to take everything to market in
a condensed form, leaving all refuse
to increase soil fertility.?A. X. Springer,
in The Epitoinist.
SURCERY WITH A MATCH.
A Painless Operation That Surprised a
Cleric in a Fifth Avenue Book Store.
An aged, well-dressed nan, with
white side whiskers and a general appearance
of substantial prosperity an.l
eminent respectability, stepped into
the retail store on Fifth avenue cf a
hook publisher the other day, and
asked one ol' the young clerks in a cca*
tidential undertone:
"Have you a match?"
"Certainly, sir," replied the yovng
man, producing a handful of lucifers
from his vest pocket, "but ytu will
permit me to say that it is against the
rules to smoke in this shop."
"Oh. that's all right," replied the old
gentleman, amiably, "I never smoke."
With that he began to fumble in his
pockets. Not linding what he wanted,
he asked the clerk for the loan of a

out Immediately and began to sharpen
the burned end into a point.
"Ah, I see you need a tcothpck," remarked
the clerk, as he watched the
the whittling process.
The old gentleman made no reply,
but when he had put a nice point to tkr
match he again spoke.
"Perhaps," he said, "you have a
quiet place where I could sit down for
a few moments without being observed?"
The clerk, wondering what the old
gentleman might ask for next, politely
led the way to a corner of the store
fitted with easy chairs for the benefit
cf such patrons of the firm as might
want to glance over a book before buying
it. The old gentleman sat down
and without a moment's hesitation
rolled up the left leg of his trousers to
a point above the knee. Then, using
the back of the knife as a hammer,
with a few well-directed blows be
drove the match into his knee. Then,
readjusting his trousers, lie handed the
knife back to the astonished young
man and said:
"I am very much obliged to you.
You see I have a wooden leg nud one
of the pins holding It together fell out.
The match will do very nicely uutil I
can get home. If you should happen
to be over in Newark and have anything
the matter with your leg, just
step into my office and I shall be glad
to assist you."
Then, as he handed the clerk a card
bearing the name of a prominent financier
in Newark, he smiled, bowed politely
and walked out. ? New York

Quick to Learn.
A bride and groom who recently went
to housekeeping on Cedar avenue are
blessed with a maid of all work who
is fresh from the Emerald Isle. This
is her iirst "place," and her ignorance
of domestic affairs is only equalled
by her adaptability and her cheerful
willingness to learn. At first she
didn't know the names of the ordinary
household utensils, even mistaking, on
one occasions, when there was company
at dinner, the ice pick for the
carving steel. One day last week the
bride bad been doing some snoppmg,
and among other things she bought au
umbrella stand for the vestibule. It
was late when she reached home.
"Did any packages come?"she asked.
"Yis. mum." was the reply. "The
wagon cum wid th* cuspidore for th'
umbreliies."?Philadelphia Record.

ANOTHER HOT WAVE
Plays liavoc With Crops in Southern
States.
ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS BROKEN.'
Corn Drying Up Under the Torrid
Blasts That Come With FurnaceL'ki
Heat.
Memphis. Special.?Friday was the
warmest day of the year in the ceni
tral Southern States. Many places in
west Tennessee. Arkansas, north Mis
sissippi, Louisiana Alabama ana
Texas, report all heat records broken
during the afternoon. In Memphis
the official report was 102 degrees at
5 o'clock. This Is the highest tem- 1
perature ever recorded here. Selma, ,
Ala., was the warmest place in wie
South, 112 degrees being recorded.
Montgomery report 105 and Mobile
102. At Little Hock, Ark., the highest
temperature ever recorded was
officially reported 10G. Pine Bluff, Ark.,
reports the warmest day on record ]
with one fatality.
In Mississippi the heat was intense.
At Jackson, Vicksburg, and Natchez,
all records were broken. Crops, es- 1
pecially corn, all through north and
east Mississippi are drying up. Louisiana
is also in the throes of the hot
waves. Shreveport reports the hottest
day in its history, the government
thermometer registering 99 in
the afternoon. The intense heat has
been broken somewhat in a few counties
in west Texas. San Angelo, Colo.,
Midland and Bid Springs, all in the
extreme western part of the State, re
port a rainfall varying from 1 to 3
inches. These points are in a section
devoted almost exclusively to stock
raising. The agricultural part of
north and northwest Texas Is still
unrelieved from the drought. In some
places rain has not fallen in some
months. Austin had good rains that i
| broke the long drougnt in mat vii
elnit.v. San Antonio also reports a '
; rainfall of 1.17 inches. The crops in
I the southwestern section of the State
j are in fair condition. Showers fell
! at Richmond and Sequin, and Houston
' and Galveston report good rains In
I the last few days. At Dallas rain has
been an unknown quantity for nearly
six weeks, while the temperature has '
; been hovering around the 100 mark
for several days.
Mills to Shut Down.
j Charlotte, N. C.. Special.?A called i
meeting of the Southern Hosiery Yarn
I Spinners' Association convened in this
' city Thursday afternoon. The object of
j the meeting was to arrive at some ~
1 agreement as to the best methods to I
j employ to raise the pfice of hosiery
i yarn. The manufacturers claim that
at the present price of cotton and the
marketable value of yarns, the mills
j are run at a loss and, as a matter of ,
protection, something has to he clone (
at once. After a lengtny discussion ^
it was decided that a curtailment of
products was about the only means by
which a better condition of the yarn
market could be brought about. While
many of the manufacturers dislike I
j very much to close down" their mills, 5
they say that the association, of i g
which they are members, think this | a
the only way out of the trouble. A ! c
prominent hosiery manufacturer said 1 S
that the mills were short on cotton I
I and if they continued to run they J I
would of necessity have to purchase ?
the raw material at the present high a
prices and be forced to dispose of the
manufactured products at the present .
low price of yarns. On the whole, the
l meeting was a most Important one and fl
! the decision reached will effect many I
mills in North Carolina as well as B
: other Southern States. H
Flurrv In Corn. a
New York, Special.?There was a a
scene of great excitement in both the _
wheat and corn markets at New York
Friday, trade aggregating one of the
largest day's totals in a year or more, 1
and specially as to corn. Prices jump- t
ed 2 5-8 during the day in corn, mak!
ing G 1-2 advance for the week. OrJ
dors ]?oured into the market so fast
that brokers could scarcely execute
' them at the prices desired and the us- _
I ually small crowd around the corn, ?
ring was increased to such an extent that
at times it almost rivalled that
in the wheat pit.
