FOE THE FARMERS. 'Things Which Every Agriculturist Should Know. USEFUL HINTS AND HELPS. < Vrrtlllzen ;to.l Their ipm lal Cimip inliluu mill *i. Tho coal of fartilizera largely d( panda open the kiud of crop to which they ara applied, but the composition of the fertil- izer itat-lf io also a metier of ooneideration. It may be added that the "oil reqnirea a pecial furlili/er for a special purpose, and to use any other thu.i tii ( . kind needed ia to enter into an expanse that may be avoided. The needs cf the aoil aid not only for its own recuperation, but for the crop it ia to produce. Tho kind of work to be done by the soil ia thu firm Consideration, and to provide thu aoii with the proper material for its work is thu uuxt. One may purchase and apply a lar^u amount of fertiliser with no imiiiudiaie otmenoial results, for the reason that the aoil ia already provided with what it baa re- ceived ad an addition. What the essential requirements of his soil may ba tho farmer < imi.it learn from books, but must obourvu for bimeelf by carefully ex- perimenting aa well aa noting the resnlta of tho growth and productions of his crops from year to >osr. Because a fertiliser ia cheap doea not indicate it to ba the proper kind desired. A fertilizer sells according to its proportion of nitrogen, phosphoric acid aoj potash contained. For tbe leg- umes auu alao for yraaa orops.the low-price fertiliser.!, which contain but little nitro- gen, and uioro tuan the average percentage of potash, will sometimes uwe better re- aulta than the more costly fertili/.ura, for the reason that they contain the proper kind of plant food ri. cured, and iu such cases thu farmer woulu make a mistake if ho purchased any Kind containing the costly ingredients, bat it would not bo economi- cal on tbe part of hu farmer to purchase a potash fertiliser ior his wheat simply be- cause it cau bu procured for less, a his crop would be but partially benefited. 'Ihe crops that require nitrogen will not tbnvii uulees it is supplied, aud uo ju bull lute will bu accepted by tbe plants. There aru inutaiictii iu which only wood shea are ueceuaary to complete thu food of tho soil, ai.il when this is the case Ihu farmer wi.i jM-u.ru aa good reaulta aa from an application of several substances. Tha aoil should bo fed with what it n quirea only, aud not given aa excess or that which will be stored up f T ihu future instead of beaenliDg tbe crop. As fertili/.srs differ, and are uomponeil of one or more sub- atances that usvu of tbumselvos a value, tbe farmer cau never buy any fertiliser at le si coat tnan tho \alue of ita ingredients, an.i tbu coat of ua_s aud labor uf handling muat also be included. To buy intelligently tbu farmer should know tbo proportions of each iDgreoieir. in the fertilizer (which no reliable manufacturer willobjoct to giving), compare prices, aud buy that which ha believes will gi\u tbe best ruaulta for each particular crop. Mulih fur Orchards. Mr. Saram I It. urn, in a late letter in tbo farm and f'ir .,/, replying to a sub- scriber J question whether it would be best to kovp bis orchard completely mulchud, and if ao with what material, Mid : " The best mulch for an orchard la a loose top soil. If an orchard ia heavily mulched ihu roots are very liable to come to tho anrfacti and be injured if the mulch ia rtm jvid. Than, it ia very apt to stimu- late a late fa'.l growth, which ia not advan- tageous." Orniliutmtlug Old Stumps. An otherwise unsightly old slump, if jawed oil rather low, says a contemporary, may be transformed mto something quite pretty by placing on it a box Ullod with oarth and planted with ferns aud Trades- oantia or almost any trailing vine. It somu- thing brilliant u wanted, till tbe box with acarlet geraniums aud lot nasturtium trail over tbo edge. Tiio box can ba painted green or be covered with bark tackud on to rcpruaent a ruatia baakot. Kred the Cow. Bran and gram are cheap as well aa milk. Store them iu the cow now, that abe may be in good shape to produce milk when hotter prioea rule we don't mean fat her, but gratia alone, and auoh watery grass as lomu parts of tbe country are producing this season, i* very poor stuff to build up the system of a cjw that ia a good milker. Give somu bran or grain, or both, to help oat we feud bran and a little oornmcal aaofc day. 111.- Mttuuru Hoap. Whenever manure ia handled it ia so much added to tho coat ; btnoe any labor required in preparing the food, or reducing thii litter before adding it to tbe heap, ia saved when the manure ia to be handled. The moat disagreeable work on the farm is the handling of manure that is full of corn- atalks, straw and other long litter. Manure ahould be decomposed, and the finer the material that ia added to it tbe quicker ita reduction by decomposition. Bl|ht Kind uf Food. Economy in feeding dous not refer to reducing tbe food required, but to regulate it iu ijaality that nothing may be wasted. Much of the food given is simply converted into manure. It does not pay to feud woody fibre and waiar when more nutritions material is required id order to produce tbo salable product from an animal. HHlt%*r Cow*. A dairyman claim* that two ounces of alt per day to each cow increased the but- ter product one-fifth, which indicates that a loss may occur by tbe failure to supply aome inexpensive essential, though the farmer may be feeding liberally and giving his animals tbe beat of care other- wise. Catching Chicken*. When chickens are to be caught it ia best to do it after they have gone to roost. Tbe chasing liable to ensue it one attempt! to oatch them during the day not only aunoyi tbe peraon in pursuit, bat is highly injurious to tbe fowl. Betides all tbe other poultry ia generally frightened, an I more or loss injury results from this. I'm ii j BVtim tier laultural JuurtiAlH. It ia absolutely necessary to supply to the soil snob plant food M ii lacking. Tbo only question to be decided ia how to aop- ply it moat economically. Lime ii recommended for ON ia ono of mildew in cucumbers and diseases among potatoes. Powder the lime and abake it through a aieve, being oarefol to distribute it thoroughly. It ia easy, aays Galen Wilson, to prevent cabbage worms from injuring the planta. Jaat keep the crowns tilled with aoil. The earth does no barm to thu cabbages, aa the heads grow up from the bottom and throw off the earth. Sugar beets should stand from seven to nine inches apart, according to the fertility of the aoil. Cultivate them dat, ^ive th.-rn plenty of aun, stir tho ground thoroughly and aim to produce beets weighing about a pound when lopptd and cleaned. One man laat year o*ed on JO, 000 currant bualiea 10 pounds of helleborn. Tbia ia at the rate of about an ounce to ;o basnet. Kvery baah had a little hello- bore, bat if there was no aign of .vorma only the slightest ahake of the box waa given in passing. Small, knotty fruit of any kind is a non- paying article. It ia better to grow a to<:?n berries to make a pint than to grow :i'ty. With tfiapoa remember that ten bunches weighing fifty pounds will aell better than twenty bunchea making the tamu weight. Those landa which in Continental Europe, are devoted to tho grape and pro- dace the best and moat coatly wines are remarkable for the threat amount of phos- phoric acid thev contain. The aoil of the renowned Cloa Yogeot vineyard in France joutains I per cent. A fifteen-mile journey is an average day's work for a horse. How far doea the cow travel in a poor pasture, uippint; a penny- weight of graea hero and there, to got her laily ration ' Then she is expected to pay 'or it through tho uiilkpail, saya the M.rr T and 1-drmtr. While butter is cheap use all the cream and milk in cooking and upon tbo table that von wish. For veguiableu, pie-ornat and many other uses in tho culinary art cream is far ahead of butter or lard, ai:d should be indulged in by every farmer' a and dairyman's family. Agricultural Nute*. There ia aa much in planning as in doing larm work. Nothing on tho farm paya butler than a good garden. Hungarian ;{ruaa or millet iathu boat crop to w in the poultry jurd.

From recent observations it is elated that there ia reason for l> 'liovm:; that freeh dirt thrown upon potato loavua when W6t starts the mildew on the l"af, which later in the seaaon results in blight.

The New African Methodist Episcopal Church cf Northport, L.I., was to tn^in ita aonl-aaving career last Sunday amid all the snrroundinga of religiona fervor which only Long Island colored society can give to an occasion cf the kind.

All deemed to promise that the now churob would bu thu key- atone of Loug laland African iluihouimu. But, oh, and alas for hope and radiant promise, i'htro was in that throng Miss Graham, whom mulatto buauty came all the way from binithtowu, and thoro waa. too, Mrs. alary Migliar, pretty as a dusky Jbe.

Wo learn From old church history that ihu hair of the pritst or biabop waa no in bad several timiia during aorvioea by one of tibu inferior ryy. Tlti' comb ia monticned ai one of the taaentiala for use during a high maaa when aun; by a biahop ; mass combs of preuioua motaiu are reckoned vnoo^ tbe coatly posaessiona of most European uathe- drals. Besides those mado >f i;old and ailver, the poorer churches bavn ihtim of ivory, while in aomo tho moru common kinda aro used. Among tboao specially known to history are those of .St. Noet, St. Dnn- atan and Malaobiaa. That belonging to St. Thomaa, the martyr of Canterbury, ia atill kept in the Church of St. Si-pnlobor, That- ford ; that of St. Cuthbert, " the woman hater," at Durham Cathedral. From sundry referenoea in old legends to the use of the comb in divinations, and from its apptranoe in combination with pagan emblems on rudely sculptured atones in various parts of Bootland.it seems probable that this wan cue of tbe objacts of pagan veneration which early Christian teachers deemed prudent to adopt, investing it with aomo new significance. >S'(.
