Cultivating the growing crops is high
ly conducive to growth but in times of
jdry weather there is an enormous evap
oration rom the soil that has just been
stirred by the broad teeth of a cultiva
tor the land being left in loose ridges
Some advocate hanging a board be
hind to drag the surface of the earth
down smooth This has a tendency to
pack the surface which is not
FOLLOWER FOK THE CLLTIVATOIt
able Hang the board as shown in the
cut and insert in the lower edge a row
of forty penny wire nails removing the
heads This will leave the surface
smooth and level but loose so that the
air and sunshine can enter while at
night the moisture laden air will enter
the moisture will condense as it is
cooled by the ground and so will re
main in the soil Orange Tudd Fanner
Fair Farmers
Well why shouldnt farmers girls
study agriculture Is there any good
reason why the State should provide
for the education of the farmers boys
and allow the girls to get their training
-wherever they can Wouldnt it be a
good thing to introduce coeducation at
the agricultural colleges These ques
tions may have been raised before now
but we do not think tliey hare been
adequately discussed Perhaps there
has not been sufficient demand on the
part of the country girls for an agricul
tural education It may be that they
are too desirous to leave the farm to
think of preparing themselves for wo
mans work on the farm
Minnesota has a girls school of agri
culture said to be the only one in the
country It has been established for
many years and the results are men
tioned with pride by the Minnesota pa
pers The students receive instruc
tress in cooking canning fruit and
flower culture dairying household
chemistry entomology and sewing and
the farmer who gets one of these well
trained girls for a wife is very fortun
ate Any one can see how a woman
educated in agricultural pursuits to
which she is adapted may make herself
very useful and very contented on the

Shed for a Silo
In building a silo outside of a barn in
some localities it will be necessary to
provide some means of protecting it
from the extreme cold Tins may
cheaply be done by means of a cover
shed an outline of which is shown in
-A
COVEK SHEW FOR SILO
an illustration from Country Gentle
man The space between its Avails and
the walls of the silo could be filled with
straw or leaves and thus be made to
serve a double purpose furnishing
storage room and also protecting en
silage
Rye Kxports
While rye is always prone to follow
wheat in its fluctuations the price
has been at a much greater discount
than an average one year with an
other To this must be accorded the
sharp increase in the export business
which amounted to nearly 6000000
bushels during the past nine months
compared with only 333000 bushels the
same period a year earlier Were there
any adequate outlet however Ave could
spare much more of our annual crop
which approximates 30000000 bushels
It is here seen that low prices help rye
xports
Systematic the Work
Systematizing the farm work more
thoroughly Avill give good results in
both time and amount of Avork done
Ten hours a day in the field keeping
steadily at it except occasional stops
of a minute or two to rest the horses
with a little brain work aviII accom
plish more in the run of the season than
fourteen hours of aimless toil
Prunes Are Profitable
There ought to be much more exten
sive planting of the German prune We
found it years ago the most paying
fruit we could groAv It was always in
good demand and at better prices than
plums The prune is also a surer bear
er than the plum unless Ave may ex
cept some of the neAV Japanese Aarie
ties Yet though the prune may be
grown nearly everywhere it has been
planted so sparingly in the East da a
large part of our supply of dried prunes
comes from the Pacific coast States
where its cultivation to market 3000
miles east has been found very prof
itable American CultiA ator
Mvect Cora for Feeding
There are a good many fanners -who
groAv SAveet corn for market Aiio do not
care to groAv any other kind because
having only small places if the tAvo
kinds are groAvn there Avill ha more or
less mixed grains in the ear What
corn they cannot sell green they grind
and feed to stock The SAveet com dries
doAAu harder than will the corn whose
carbon is starch rather than sugar It
is also much lighter than the field corn
after its surplus of Avater has dried out
of it SAveet com ground Avith the cob
makes a meal that cattle and horses
are very fond of -when fed with cut
feed But as its Aveight is less than the
field corn meal more must be fed to
secure the same results It is not more
nutritious than common com meal if
so much so but it may be used some
times to tempt the appetite of an ani
mal that has been cloyed and thus re
store digestion to its normal activity
White Clover for Pasture
It is one of the adA antages of rough
rocky land that as it cannot often be
cultivated nor ever very thoroughly
the surface soil is pretty sure to be
filled with white clover seed It is
said to be natural to such land which
means that it has so long occupied the
soil that there is plenty of seed to groAV
Avhenever it has a fair chance It is an
excellent pasture grass as its roots run
near the surface and quickly respond
even to light rains which Avill not re
viAe other grasses It is greatly helped
by a dressing of gypsum On long-cultivated
ground especially A here no
clover has been thickly seeded there
Avill be little Avhite cloArer visible But
even there it is often ready when it
gets the chance
A New Ece Plant
While the egg plant is grown very
extensively as a market garden crop it
is seen far too little in home gardens
f 1
and yet there is no
difficulty in raising
it The main point
to be observed ia
that the plant is a
very tender annual
and has to be start
led in a hotbed or
greenhouse Many
fail AA ith it because
they set out the
tearl egg riAxx plants too early
There is no use to plant them outdoors
so long as there is any danger from
frost or even so long as the nights are
very cool although actual frost does
not occur One half dozen plants Avill
be sufficient for a moderate sized fam
ily Where potted plants can be pro
cured from the florist or plant grower
they are far preferable to those taken
up direct from the seed bed Until re
cently there has been but very little
choice in A arieties the Ncaa York Im
proved Purple having been almost the
only variety raised but now there
comes the Pearl a white fruited egg
plant equal in size and quality to the
New York Improved The plant is
stated to be remarkably productive and
the fruit of the finest quality either

Horse Hints
Being gentle with a horse aaU1 help
him to be gentle
Keep the colt fat and he Avill make an
easy going horse
Sores on horses shoulders are large
ly the result of ill fitting collars
An excess of food Aveakens a Avorking
animal and disables it from work
Blood food care and training are
the essentials necessary for producing
a first class horse
To a very considerable extent the
most costly farming is that done Avitn
poor teams
There are few diseases to Avhicli
horses are subject but are easier pro
vented than cured
Good grooming does not only add U
the animals comfort but to its health
fulness as Avell
Feeding a little Avheat bran Avith the
other grain avIII help to make the
horses hair sleek and glossy
The best farm horse is the one with
a kind and tractable disposition well
broken and serviceable
The farmers will always be poor avIio
continue to raise 0 horses at an ex
pense of 100
The feed and care necessary to raise
a poor horse costs as much in every
way as it does for one of the best
A horse needs exercise every day to
keep his system properly regulated and
make his hair to be bright and sleek
When the horse is brought in from
work he should be given a good drink
if too Avarm to drink he is too warm to
eat
Farm Notes
Changing pasturage maintains better
thrift
CultiAate thoroughly whether the
Aveeds groAv or not
It is mistaken economy not to feed
young growing pigs well
A supply of salt should be kept where
the stock can help themselves
Keep the teams in a good condition
by feeding and grooming regularly
An animal must lun e a good appetite
if you expect stamina and constitution
The more rapidly an animal is fat
tened the less quantity of food is need
ed to maintain vitality
A thrifty fruit tree is like an animal
it requires good feeding if it makes a
vigorous steady groAvth
During the summer especially saA
dust is one of the best materials that
can be used for bedding for the stock
in the stables Farmers Union

A Disappointed Bandmaster
In the Century General Horace Por
ters Campaigning Avith Grant deals
with the Siege of Petersburg and
Raids on Washington General Por
ter relates the folloAving anecdote of
Grant
Earthworks had been thrown across
the neck of land upon Avhich City Point
is located This intrenched line ran
from a point on the James to a point on
the Appomattox River A small gar
rison had been detailed for its de
fense and the commanding officer
wishing to do something that would
afford the general-in-chief special de
light arranged to send the band over
to the headquarters camp to play for
him while he A as dining The garri
son commander avis in blissful ignor
ance of the fact that to the general the
appreciation of music was a lacking
sense and the musicians score a sealed
book
About the third evening after the
band had begun its performances the
general while sitting at the mess table
remarked Ive noticed that that band
always begins its noise just about the
time I am sitting down to dinner and
Avaut to talk I offered to go and
make an effort to suppress it and see
whether it would obey an order to
cease firing and my services AA ere
promptly accepted The men Avere
gorgeously uniformed and the band
seemed to embrace every sort of brass
instrument ever invented from a di
minutive to a gigantic
double bass horn The performer who
played the latter instrument aais en
caged within its ample tAAists and
looked like a man standing inside the
coils of a whisky still The broad-belted
band master was pulling with all the
vigor of a quafk meilicine advertise
ment his eyes were riveted upon the
music and it was no an easy task to
attract his attention Like a sperm
whale he had come up to blow and
was not going to be put down till he had
finished but finally he was made to
understand that like the hand organ
man he was desired to move on With
a look of disinheritance on his counten
ance he at last marched off his baud
to its camp
On my return the general said I
fear that band masters feelings have
been hurt but I didnt AA ant him to be
wasting his time upon a person who has
no ear for music A staff officer re
marked Well general you were at
least much more considerate than Com
modore AAho the day he came to
tke command of his vessel and AA as
seated at dinner in the cabin heard
music on deck and immediately sent
for the executive officer and said to
him HaAe the instruments and men
of that band throAvn overboard at
once
He Risked His Life
He had worn the gray in the days of
civil strife and now he AAas in gay
NeAV York Avith thousands of other Con
federates to honor the memory of the
conqueror and friend of the South Gen
Grant Some Avho Avore the blue wore
gathered around him as he told the
story Said he
Its the story of a hero well worth
tellin It AA as on May 18 a lovely day
in 1804 Gen Grant Avas after us hot
and heavy but he struck us at a strong
point and the stormin columns Avere
engaged in a deadly cross firin Bullets
Avhizzed around like snowflakes do in
blizzard times in these parts Your
lines melted away under the storm of
musketry grape and canister that
1 sAvept the intervenin space You didnt
stop to remove your dead and wounded
from the smokin field At once our
skirmish line Avas throAvn out to watch
your movements and was located at a
point Avhere the slaughter was most
fearful Our men had hastily dug rifle
pits to protect them from the sure aim
of the Federal sharpshooters and dead
and dying men Avere heaped up even
to the edge of those pits
In one of the pits were found four
or five members of Company H First
Regiment South Carolina Volunteers
An ungainly angular red headed lad
was among them His name was John
M Nicholls and he hailed from a little
Carolina town in the beautiful Pied
mont belt The Avounded had been
lyin for hours unattended The sun
beamed hotter and hotter upon them
and they Avere sufferin terribly from
pain loss of blood and thirst Not fif
teen feet from the rifle pit protectin
the South Carolinans lay a mortally
Avounded Federal officer
Water water he cried Will no
one give me water Just one drop
thats all Im dying for want of
water
As the day Avore on his cries instead
of subsidin greAv more pitiful and it
Avas evident that he Avas sufferin more
and more Finally Nicholls cried with
the tears streamin down his cheeks
Boys I cant stand this any longer
Im going to take the poor fellow my
canteen of Avater
Everybody tried to dissuade him To
sIioav him the danger of this undertak
en someone stuck a hat on the end of a
ramrod and held it above the pit for an
instant Instantly dozens of bullets
from the guns of the Yankee sharp
shooters passed over their heads as a
reminder that the Yanks Avere still in
the ring
In the meantime the dyin officer
moaned on Water water Just one
drop somebody please Only one tin
drop
The tender hearted boy could not be
scared out of his determination After
makin three unsuccessful attempts he
at last succeeded in clearin the little
embankment Once on the other 6ide It
was an easy matter for him to throw
himself flat upon the ground between
the furrows of the cornfield where the
battle had been AAaged He craAvled
slowly along and got as near to the
dyin man as the protectin furrows
would allow then breakin a stick
from a sumac bush he tied his can
teen to the end of it and handed it Into
the sufferers hands Talk about grat
itude I never heard gratitude ex 2
pressed as that Federal officer express
ed it Not a man who heard him had a
dry eye The boy soldier returned as
he had come amid a hailstorm of bul
lets When he reached the edge of the
pit he yelled to his comrades to clear
the track for him and with a mighty
leap he was among his friends once
more without so much as a brier
scratch to call to his mind his heroic
act That was the kindest and bravest
deed I saAV durin the whole war It
was no act of impulse but a deliberate
ly calculated risk of his OAvn life to
give aid and succor to his enemy
A Storv of the Petersburg Mine
General Horace Porter tells the fol
lowing anecdote of the explosion of the
Petersburg mine in his Campaigning
with Grant in the Century A sur
geon told us a story one of the many
echoes of the mine affair about a pris
oner who had been dug out of the crater
and carried to one of our field hospitals
Although his eyes Avere bunged and
his face covered Avirh bruises he was
in an astonishingly amiable frame of
mind and looked like a pugilistic hero
of the prize ring coming up smiling in
the twenty seventh round He said
Ill jest bet you that after this Ill be
the most unpopular man in iny regi
ment You see I appeared to get start
ed a little earlier than the other boys
that had taken passage with me aboard
that volcano and as I was comin down
I met the rest of em a goin up and
they looked as if they had kind o
soured on me and yelled after me

AN OLD CLOTHES EXCHANGE
One of tbe Queerest Institutions In
New York City
It is estimated that 50000 old hats
coat3 vests shoes pants dresses
wraps babies and childrens belong
ings are discarded every day in the
Aveek by the 3000 of -people who make
up the population of Greater New York
and vicinity and 75 per cent of the
cast offs find their way eventuallj into
the dirty and dingy quarters centering
on Bayard street from the Bowery to
Mott street
Only a small proportion of this dis
carded clothing is wasted Most of it
is redeemed from ash barrels or pur
chased by the old clothes men and It
then finds its way to one of the queer
est of New Yorks institutions the old
clothes exchange
The seller is a very sharp personage
indeed He is the gentleman who plods
industriously through the uptoAvn
streets with a large bag on his shoul
der or under his arm according to the
extent of its holdings His far-reaching
cry Cash for ol cloe is pleasant
music to the ear of the financiering
servant girl to whom the cast offs of
the family haA e descended She haulta
out her worn and beats the
price up while the buyer beats It down
Naturally It would seem that they
would be getting further away from
each other all the time by the exercise
of this process but eventually their
vieAVS reach the trading point and the
collector gets a mass of garments
which perhaps originally cost 50 or
75 for 75 cents
Tavo or three visits of this kind fill
his bag and then he Is Beady for the
trip downtown The Stock Exchange
opens at 10 oclock and closes at 3 but
the Hand-Me-Down Exchange does not
open until 4 and business keeps up un
til 8 or 9 at night
Uptown the collector devotes his elo
quence to picturing the many faults of
ihe clothing downtown he is a regular
Chauncey M Depew in his oratorical
ability to uphold their virtues But the
Duyer long ago graduated from the col
lecting school and he is not to be fooled
by eloquence He has little to say In
fact he says nothing
The collector places his bag on the
ground and tells what he has to sell
The buyers face is as motionless as the
wooden table on which he leans To
aven look at the bag would be a sign
f weakness He gazes steadily at some
object on the wall never allowing his
eyes to shift in any other direction
All the time the collector is talking the
buyer has the look of a wooden man
even when the price is mentioned not a
quiver of interest passes over his face
Five minutes may have passed and the
dealer has given no sign of life
The collector picks up his bag and
walks to the next buyer Tihen the
ame performance is gone over From
buyer to buyer the collector goes
Finally he strikes a man who says
Lets see them The bag is opened
and piece by piece the treasures are
produced Over each one there is a
tremendous amount of haggling Some
of the other dealers cluster around
and they join forces to beat the prices
down The actual process of selling
consumes a good hour while consider
ably more than that time was spent
In the preliminary work Each buyer
stacks up his purchases in a separate
heap The collectors troop in one by
one and each goes through the same
performance
The profits of the business are not to
be sneezed at The clothes which the
collector gathered may have cost im
2 and he sells them for about 5 The
buyers are mostly the second hand
dealers of the Bay otherwise Baxter
street A suit of clothes for which the
collector originally paid 40 cents and
which the dealer secured for 75 cents
is finally sold for 350 or 4 after it
has been furbished up at an expense of
50 cents for material and labor
