MATTERS OP INTEREST TO AGRICULTURISTS. M Cp-to-Otlto Btata Aboat CaUlra ttem ef th Ball mm Yields Thereof IlMtlewltwr, TUIcnltnre aad Floii caltara, PNTILShave nevyr been raised in this country by garden ers to the extent that the demand for them would seem to warrant, writes S. W. Chambers in Rural Canadian. The German lentils bave'been imported for years, and even today the large grocery stores depend upon the Imported one6 for their trade. The Italians and Germans have created such a demand for them that they are becoming introduced here," and many Americana are taking them up as an article of food. In the south of Europe the lentils are eaten very generally: So distinguished an authority as Edward Atkinson has said concerning. - them that "here is a plant; which in the ni trogen element furnishes the cheapest variety of food " known from "which very delicious soups can . be made which, when baked, is more delicious than the best New England baked beanswhich is a good food and forage CHONDRILLA JUNCEA. ' rM A r3r4ss li - CMOKCRaL j.ncc. R 1-4 u?c The report of the United States De partment of Agriculture says: This plant grows to the height of two or three feet, having strong, deeply spreading roots, and slender, twig-like stems, more or less branching above and apparently destitute of leaves, or with a few slender thread-like leaves. The leaves are mostly in a cluster at the base of the stem, where they have an irregular jagged shape, much like thoso of the Dandelion. The bare twigs become sparingly clothed dur ing the summer with sessile flowers of. the order compositae; in appearance much like those of Lettuce. This un sightly perennial weed has been intro duced into Maryland, Virginia and other Southern states, where it is spreading along roadsides and over dry, uncultivated 'fields. Complaints have plant, especially fit for feeding poultry which grows on the cheapest or least fertile land with the least amount of work." In this country a few cf the large German lentils are raised, and market gardeners near New York and other large cities raise a few to supply the restaurant trade. These growers are chiefly Germans, who are very fond of the lentils either served as soup or fried. The lentils are said to be so nourishing that in nitrogen one pound is equal to three pounds of beef. They grow readily upon most soils. The plants are hardy, but they succeed the best in dry, warm, and light soil. When cultivated for green fodder for stock the seeds should be sown broadcast If raised for the table the seeds should be sown in drills the latter part of April, or the beginning of May. The plants reach a foot and a half in height, and produce flattened pods in pairs, in which are the small seeds. About four hundred and fifty of these seeds are obtained in an ounce when purchased j for Eowing. In the south of Europe t the seeds are used largely for soups and the pods also for eating, while the plants are fed to the cattle. There are several varieties of lentils cultivated. The large German lentil reaches a height of fifteen inches from the ground, and produces pods three quarters of an inch long with a single seed in each one. This is the most pro ductive of all the varieties, but the quality is inferior to many of the eth ers. The common or yellow lentil is con sidered by most as the best in the mar ket In the markets of Paris it is used to the exclusion of all others. It has smaller seeds, but the. flavor is verj delicious. " The green lentil is another fine sort, and differs from the yellow chiefly ia the color of -the seeds. The small len tl is raised very largely in France by farmers for forage. It is a late kind and grows taller than any of the other sorts, except the green lentil. When sown In. drills, they should be from ten to fifteen inches apart, and the plants four or five inches apart in rows. Nearly all animals like this fodder, es pecially poultry, and they fatten off it, and increase their supply of eggs. On the whole lentils make a crop that should be raised more generally here Best Products Pay. In the over crowded professions and in business enterprises it has become a trite saying that there is always room at the top, and that exceptional ability and appli cation will command success, while with less than average qualifications, failure is quite likely to be the result The same principle is equally applica ble in the productive industries, and the aim should be produce commodities that are in demand at the highest mar ket prices. Farm products of the best quality can alone be-made to, pay when transported to distant markets under ordinary conditions of supply and -demand and better prices are accordingly realized than for average or inferior products, for which there is no foreign wSfcmand ttou the large proportion of their value naed up In the cost of truaV portation. Michigan Farmer. - Fall Rains. As a general role farm ers conclude that they have no use for water after the crop is made, but this is a great mistake. It will pay to water lands thoroughly before the fall plow ing begins and meadows of all kinds save the clover family should be kept wet right up to the time the ground freezes. This is evidenced . from the fact that a good grass crop depends as much on the fall rains almost as It does upon the spring rains. Fall rains are generally indicative . of a heavy snow fall, and the ground when damp ened by fall rains holds more snow.than otherwise, but these rains are a great thing fcr the grass crop the coming season. Thi3 being the case we natur ally conclude that artificial watering of meadows will have the same effect. We have also noticed that fall and win ter watered lands produce exceedingly well the following season. Rocky Mountain Husbandman. The Vitality of Seeds. A .remark able instance of the vitality of seeds comes from Jones county, Iowa, where Miss Jennie Boncher in the year 1855 made a wreath by using One wire and stringing different kinds of garden seeds on the wire in odd and fantastic shapes. It required a great deal of patient labor to complete the work, and when it was completed "she presented it to her aunt, Mrs. Flora Moore, of Webster City. Mrs. Moore kept the wreath for many years, but some ten or y at un )a fk-f been received from Virginia of its ag gressive nature, and o the difficulty of its extermination. It'is a native of the southern half of Europe and the artjoini jg countries of Asia. Over most of France it is common on sandy soils. It has not yet entered England and the other northern countries of Europe, and therefore it is not expected that it will become prevalent to any extent in our Northern states. For the eradi cation of this pest, summer fallowing with frequent plowing and harrowing will lie necessary. This method, suc ceeded by a hoed crop, will probably re lieve the field of its presence. At the same time the greatest care" should be taken to exterminate it from the road sides and neglected fields, where it is liable to maintain a foothold. The plant is illustrated en this page. " twelve years ago gave it to her niece, Mrs. George Nichols. Lately the frame in which the wreath was kept fell, and the wreath was broken so badly that it was useless as an ornament. Last spring Mrs. Nichols, out of curiosity,, planted some of the seeds and they are growing. Ex. A "New Grape Disease. A new grape disease known as "shelling" made its appearance in the vineyards of 'western New York last year. It consisted of the strange dropping of fruit from the bunches and was undoubtedly due to the lack of available potash. The grape requires a large amount of potash to perfect its fruit, and the heaviest call for this mineral comes as the seeds are forming. Very dry weather, came on last year just at this time and the vines dropped the fruit that they could not perfect. It is not likely that this-disease will continue to plague the grape grower. The remedy, plenty .of potash with enough water to make it avail able, is always within his reach. American Cultivator. Decrease of Crop Area in England. The Agricultural Returns of Great Brit ain show that the wheat area is even smaller than any estimate has made it The area for 1S95 is 1,417.641 acres, or 510,321 apres less than that cf 1S91, and 479.SS3 less than that of 1S03. Barley, o?ts. and potatoes chow small increases, and hay "and hops small decreases. With respect to live stock, it is grati fying tc notice an increase of 7,223, though il is only one-tenth of 1 'per cent.- and there is a remarkable in crease of 20.7 per cent in the number of pigs, but sheep have- fallen" off in number by C9.303, or three-tenths of 1 per cent. Agricultural Gazette. Pink Olco. The New Hampshire law which requires all 'imitation dairy products to be' colored pink, has 'stood the test of the courts and is now being vigorously- enforced. A more recent law, making a solicitation for orders for" all fraudulent butter illegal, is also being carried into effect, and a great im provement is noticed in the sale of the genuine: dairy product. Ex. - Outdoor Life. There is nothing bet ter for a nervous, low-spirited nature than outdoor life and a genuine love for" growing things; to go cut as boon as one is up to see how many .new rose buds have opened, or what is to be the color of the new pansies, or what va riety there is in the sweet peas. Johnnie had been out in. the yard playing with his bali. end suddenly came in and sat down to read. His father looked up, and, sseeing that Johnnie had his Sunday school book in his hand, thought it time to question him. "What did you do with the ball?" "It went over the wall into Mr. Brown's yard." "Did you go after it?" "No. pa." "Why not" "Because it went through the wiar dow." Pearson's. The moat painstaking farmer whe Is not provided with at Met a samall apiary is guilty of tolerating three serU ous leaks in the economics. Leak L The entire removal of all bees and similar insects from a neigh borhood would insure an entire failure of more than one farm crop. ' Experi ence has shown this and experiment has proved it time after time. Many garden and orchard products depend al most wholly upon the visits of pollen carrying insects for their fertilization, and some of the field crops are better for these visits. It haa more than once been noticed that after a wet season of fruit bloom, when the bees are kept in doors by the rain, there is less fruit and a greater proportion of imperfect fruit The same is also noticeable In the clover field. This fact has now been so well established and the absence of the bees Is so noticeable that in several places where, under the old idea of bees injuring fruit, state laws had prac tically banished them, a popular clam or has secured the' repeal of the laws and the return of the bees. The fact once established that bees are essential to the proper fertilization of certain farm crops it at once be comes apparent that the farmer who does not himself keep them must de pend upon chance or the enterprise of hl3 neighbors for full crops of this kind. Hence, by not providing his own flower fertilizers he is harboring a seri ous leak in the quality and quantity of both seed and fruit. Leak 2. Probably no farm of 50 acres or more is wholly without honey-producing flowers. In some cases, the sup ply would be too small for the bees to be self-supporting. In others a great deal less than 50 acres' might produce several thousands of pounds. This at from 10 to" 15 cents always obtainable. for comb honey, represents an import ant cash value' that may by the keep ing of sufficient bees be saved without one particle of extra drainage to land or crop, but that otherwise goes annu ally to loss. As high as 90 pounds of honey have been made by one colony in 10 days. This, at 12 cents, is over ?1 per day per colony and from a gen erally wasted source. Of course such runs are not common nor. long -continued. Still it shows what possibili ties are stored up in these honey pro ducers. "No grain crop is always profit able. Leak S, and perhaps the largest of all. Life on the farm is accompanied by enough privations to warrant every possible effort being made for the full est possible enjoyment of its advan tages. Young people in particular feel shut in and neglected both from a social and intellectual standpoint when given occasional glimpses of the sweets of city life without discovering its bitter ness. They grow discontented with the country and the farm, their, discontent appearing, perhaps, in little outbursts of complaint against the plain fare at table. The.remedy is to interest them absorbingly in something pertaining to farm life; not in work, but in something that is really interesting. Nature her self is the very best of compaions from an intellectual standpoint, and she never made a. more interesting study of insect life than bee-ology. It is hard ly reasonable to expect all to Jecome interested in this subject at pfice, but many will. Fonie may first-have their interest awakened through the bees themselves; others through a good' text book on the subject -Both should, be provided for them s supplements to each other. Anu in the meantime! while the studyjtfs progressing, tneqgN . .. i will be preparing for tne taDie.a yery dainty addition to liven up the teaious ..... . .- ,; 11.. ..!:....,. bill of fare. The grealest leak of all upon the farm is that through which the interest of the sons and daughters pour into other channels. And you who still re fuse to provide some of these pleasant sideplays like bee-keeping, may live to s.c your farm drained of its" young blood, a domestic waste, and yourself alone in your old age. Wilder Gra hame in Farmers Home. Sauce for Meat A delicious sauce to serve with broiled meats and fish requires the tender green heads from a bunch of asparagus, a pint of white slock, a slice of onion, a small piece of carrot, a bay leaf, a tiny bit of mace, a" sprig of p&rsley, two generous tablespoonfuls of butter, two of flour, and salt, and pepper to suit the taste. Put the butter and flour into a saucepan and rub them to a cream, then add the seasoning and stock. Heat the mixture slowly, stirring frequently, and when it begins to boil set it back where it will only simmer for twenty minutes. Mean while wash the asparagus tops and "put them into a saucepan with a cupful of boiling water, half a tcaspoonful of lemon juice or vinegar. Cover closely and boil for twelve minutes, then drain off the water and rub the asparagus through a fine sieve. Strain upon it tho contents of the other pan and heat to the boiling point, but not beyond, for much cooking would destroy the deli cate green color of the asparagus. Lean 'and Fat Secretary Morton, ot the department of agriculture, says that England pays more for Danish bacon than for Canadian, and more for Cana dian than for American all because the first-named hogs have more lean" and less fat. A prominent Wiltshire firm offers a premium of 20 per. cent on the hundred weight price of hogs weighing.240 pounds with three inches cf fat on back, for hegs weighing 130 to 199 pounds and' with less than two and one-half inches of fat on any part "of the back. "Under this plan of pur chase tho percentage of ican hogs has increased from 47 to 75, and the farmers are raising Tamworths and Yorkshires, to the exclusion of-Bcrk-shires. The fact is there is a very rap idly growing demand for more streaks of lean in table bacon both in this and in-other countries. Tho premium idea is a good one to increase the lean. Both breeding and feeding are- involved in this questioh. Ex. The Coming Sheep. The size of tht coming sheep in this country, from the mutton standard, is defined by the sheep editor of the Iowa-.Homestead. He says: "We must adhere to the belief that the coming sheep will weigh about 200 pounds in the adult, half of it being gained the first year and here we are not talking of show sheep. The sheep does come to maturity, generally speak ing, much fcefcre xhc age of four years. To England belongs thu honor of pro ducing the best mutton sheep on earth, and we would be the last to detract from their credit in this regard. At the same time the results that have been reached to meet English demands will be modified in accordance with our demand when we shall have done our best v Removing Grease. A simple way"tb remove grease spots from wall paper, caused by the head resting' against the wall, is to hold a piece of clean blotting paper over the spot and press a moder ately warm flatiron over it. Repeat the operation until the grease is out. Qwmb Marfborltav Having donned the costume of aTaa can peasant, ia which she looks re markably well.

The unrivalled headdress of white linen falling on to the shoulders, and fastened to the hair by large pins, which is now unfortu nately so rarely seen in its native home of Italy, rested on the queen's beauti ful hair, and completed as charming a costume as any painter might wish to depict Old Words aad Their Meaning-' The word' ''tomboy," now applied to a rude young woman, formerly meant a rude young man or boy. Furlonjr was at first a furrow long, or the distance that a pair of oxen would plow in half an hour. Shrewd once signified evil of wicked. Thomas Fuller used the expression "a shrewd fellow," meaning a wicked man. The word hoyden," now applied ex clusively to a noisy younjr woman, formerly denoted a person of like char acter but of cither hex. Equivocation, a word now applied to any evasion, was once understhod to mean the .calling of divers things by the same name. l'eck at first meant a basket or re ceptacle for grain or other substances. The expression at first had no reference to size. Termagant was formerly a quarrel some person of either sex, and only the lack of gallantry of the men h'as limit ed the word to its present significance. A Busy Man. Hugh Tudor, of Dawn, Ma, strives to combine business with humor. On his business envelopes is printed the fol lowing in cne corner: "If not called for within ten davs return to Hugh Tudor, Dawn, 'Ma, secretary of thej rarmers Mutual Insurance Co. of Liv ingston County, and secretary of the Second Congressional Cyclone, Torna do and Wind Storm Co.," and the fol lowing additfonal stiteinent appears in another corner: "I sell insurance against accidents, fire, deth, wind storms, sigh kloans, tornadoes, loss of slepc, loss of rent poverty and 2d hus bands, and issue bond insurance."
