FOB r«E FA lOI AND HOME. Cultivation of Corn. Modern experience tends to favor the shallow and superficial culture of com, rather thau deeper plow ing. After the corn has been planted a plow should not be used in the corn-field, but tbe cultivator only. Tho surfaco nlono needs to be stirred, and tho oftener it is mellowed nnd loosened, tbe better for the crop. Thu writer has grown several crops of over 100 bushels of grain to thc acre, and in every case in which this unusual pro¬ duct was reached, it was when tho ground was worked with the horse hoc overy week until the corn was in tassel. When, unavoidably this frequent culti¬ vation was missed, the yield fell some¬ times ns low ns seventy of eighty bushels per acre, showing—all other treatment being thc same—that the frequent work¬ ing of the soil has a most useful result on the crop.— American Agriculturist. Peas Will Not Nils. armers, many of them, believe that ilinsrcnt varieties of peas will cross if planted in close proximity. This is not the case, for the ovules of each flower nre fertilized by the pollen of tho same flower long before thc buds unfold. Therefore, in crossing peas, tho anth¬ ers must be removed just as soon ns the petals show themselves in the bud. If one waits beyond this period it will be found on opening the bud that the anth¬ ers are ripe and have shaken their pol¬ len upon tho stigma. It is impractic¬ able to unfold a bud so small and im¬ mature, and therefore many have con¬ cluded that peas could not be crossed even artificially. This difficulty is obvi¬ ated, however, by cutting off the tip of the bud as soon as it opens, and slitting down the flower a short distance; the ten anthers are then easily removed, leaving only the stigma, which may now receive pollen of an other variety with •which it is desired to cross it.— N. Y. World. Potion, tor Insect,. answer to occasional inquiries, we g.. - briefly the following modes for aji- plying effeotive poisons: Pyrethrum for Cabbages.—Use a table¬ spoonful to two or three gallons of water, and if driven on these and other plants with a syringe or force pump, it will de¬ stroy nearly all insects. The pyrethrum must be fresh, as it loses by exposure. Paris Green for Various Purposes.— Mix it nnd keep stirring with about 700 times as much water. It is good for canker worms, codling moths, potato beetles, cucumber bugs, etc. It is only a partial remedy for the curculio. Paraffine.—Half a tcacupful to a gal¬ lon of water, constantly stirred, is good for scale insects. It must be weaker on young than on old, hard bark. Kero¬ sene emulsion is also good, and it is made by putting a quart of soft soap in a gal¬ lon of water, which heat to boiling, and then while boiling, stir in a pint of kero¬ sene. Another way is to stir kerosene with milk until no oil is visible; then dilute with twelve times as much water. Paris green, driven briskly with a force pump, has saved grapevines from rose- bugs.— Country Gentleman. Trees in Cultivated fields. This is tho time of year for farmers who havo cultivated crops to mark on those fields the area which the roots of trees drain of moisture and fertility. If they will do this with either corn or potatoes, the revelation wilt be a surprise to many. Under the shade of the tree the crop will rarely pay cost of cultiva¬ tion and harvesting; but for ten and often fifteen feet on cither side it will be diminished, varying according to thc season. In a very dry time we liave known a few trees in a field to make it so unproductive that it gave no profit from cultivation at present low prices, very small under the most favorable cir¬ cumstances. Now as farming is a busi¬ ness, it is the farmer’s duty so far as in him lies to make a business success of it. If any one is farming for amusement or pleasure he can do as he chooses about retaining useless and positively detri¬ mental adjuncts to his business, though in this case tho greatest pleasure as well as profit will generally be found in grow¬ ing the largest possible crops. For the great mass of farmers harassed by debt and striving every way to make both ends meet losses of this kind are a seri- ous matter. They at least cannot afford to waste time, labor or money over senti¬ mentalities. Scattering forest trees are often ornamental in lawns; but the farm is not a lawn, and among growing crops a large tree is often the most destructive kind of weed. This is an economic sug- gestion which many will appreciate who fully understand the need of obeying the apostolic injunction to “lay aside every weight" as the only means ot insuring success. — Cultivator. Clover on the Form. A writer m , the ,, Prairie Farmer „ says: J No other thing on the farm so thor- ough ,, y marks , the , progress of ... agriculture as the rapidly increasing use of red clover. The two-fold benefits of clover are so obviously manifest to every farmer that the increase in its use is not nir- prising. Its wonderful yield as a forage crop makes it one of tlie most desirable to raise,whether to be fed green or cuied in the shape of rowen. Bo rapidly does it grow that it is no uncommon thing 10 cut three crops during a single season; ■ to c»l b. than two crops. Should the farmer <*“« •» th. .took „ tb« »„l,l it seems almost, to replace the day’s picking by its growth at night. The better way is to cut and feed it in the rack, and a • amount . of , ground i will ... feed , j fully „ ,, given twice as inauy cattle as when allowed to loam ovet u it. A very important, value of clov r con- MEts, however, in its great efficiency w> a means cf recuperating tije land; and tSU iu creased use shows an advanced stage the science of agriculture. First, the use of a fertilizer of any kind is a con¬ fession that the land is not as good as it is in the power of man to make; and, next, the uso of clover ni a means of en* richingthe ground show, that fanners are studying economic management of the t lands. It is claimed by some that no fanner can ailord to plow under a good crop of clover as a fertilizer, but that it should be fed to cattle ard the manure from the cattle put hack on the fund, with tho growth of those cattle, arc together of more value than the crop of green ma¬ nure. Admitting this claim, the roots of the clover, when allowed to grow two or three years, will benefit the soil by pene¬ trating, perforating and aerating tho subsoil, so as to increase the yield of a wheat crop that may follow at least twenty-five, and often fifty per cmt. on heavy clay soils. Whatever view may be taken of the subject, there is uo crop that is so generally growing in favor with the general farmer East, West, North or S.uth, and there are few, if any, crops that will result in so few disappoint¬ ments as will the common red clover. Iniprovenieiit of Itooryni<l-< nml l.atviii. A fanner’s wife has given thc following hints for the improvement of dooryards and lawns, with her idea as to where tho line in decoration should be drawn. Her ideal is a neat, tasty home, and nothing tells fo much the character of the people in the homo as the dooryard. She would have it neat, first. She would not at- tempt to liave it filled up promiscuous y with all the shrubs and plants and bushes which can be found. This soon grows into a thicket, and there arc incongruity and want of harmony nnd order, which looks as badly as no attempt to do any¬ thing. It is not well to attempt to do too much. The tasteful place must be neat, and thc grass short and smooth. We cannot, on the farm, afford to keep a man to attend to the cultivation of the flowers aud shrubs on the lawn. We must not overtax the strength of the men or women, in the work of caring for the yard and tlie ornamental features. It should be for recreation. She advised a neat grass plot, a tidy walk, and a relief of forest trees, with u very few or no evergreens. The flower beds and bricks set on edge, nnd such arrangements that at best look well a small part of tlie year, and offensive most of the time, can well give place to neat, well-kept grass, that looks attractive every day of tho year. The flowers and roses we must have, but in the side yard, an ! limit them to our means. Too many gay tilings in a doorway are like too much gaudy dress. It is not in thc best taste. The first and last tiling necessary is neatness. Whatever is done should be well Jon”. A few roses and honeysuckles in some nook or corner can be made a thing of beauty at little cost, tbe 11 iwer-garden by itself, and rose hedge to screen the front from back yard, or tlie ornamental from the business quarters. She bad no admiration for great attempts at flower beds and rockeries iu conspicuous places in tlie farmers’ dooryards. Neatness and simplicity, aud not attempt, are to be aimed at in nil the surroundings of the fanner of limit d means. The lawn-mower does not cost much, and if the yard is not littered up with too many things, the grass can be cut often and kept as a beautiful fcaturo at all times. The men, howevi r, want to do everything with horses, and if the lawn is large, the horses can do the work easily, and by a little dressing up after tho liorse-mower tlie grass can be kept very neat .—American Cu’ticator. llotiMeholu Hint*’ Try restoring the color of faded plush goods by brushing with chloroform.

The mountain sheep is always found among the peaks and cliffs in cool altitudes aua pretty near the timber or perpetual of the. Bocky snow line. The big-horn sheep difficult animal Mountains is a most to bag. They are usually found in pairs, often in flocks of from four to forty, and iometimes in bands of 100 or more. One old sheep hunter living on Pryor’s Fork, near here, relates that he saw not long ago Bitter a flock Creek of Hange, eighty-one and about sheep five in the years a Southern f 0 : "'lu 1 c scout; ‘'S ? ffiefdlowstJne ^ d soumern tounda™ Dounuary ui iue National Park, he inn upon a band that mmt have numbered over 800. These animals range all the way from the Kio Grande to the Mackenzie, but at l raits named they * re exceedingly scarce in thellig Horn Mountains, whence they who have written on the subject. They range, winter and summer alike, in the Bame latitudes and altitudes, only in summer they wander farther away than in the opposite easom. During the cold months they stay on the southern slopes of the mountains so as to catch the sun. In the summer they are generally found on th: h gher benches, where the bunch grass and mountain clover are abundant, Amon" of° the peaks where they habituate, one the first things to appear in the spiing is the wild onion or leek, which is eagerly sought out and devoured by therm This wild plant imparts to the flesh a delightful flavor, and makes the meat of tlie big horn the most delicious in the mountains. Their greatest enemy is the mountain lion. In fact the principal diet of the mountain lion is the tender offspring of the “Ovis Montana.” When l imbs are not to be had, the fierce North American panther does not object to feasting on Hie parents. These rare sheep are also subject to a sort of scab disease, which, when it becomes epi¬ demic, sweeps off at shoit notice scores of them, old and young alike. The lambs are usually brought forth from the 5th to the 20 th of May* The “Ovis Montana” is adorned with the most remarkable head gear imagin- horns. able in the shape of monstrous Tiiese are used by them for various pur- poses, but principally as a means of de- fence. Astonishing as it may seem, they also use their immense horns to assist them in descending from one skipping lofty emi- nence to a lower. If in from crag to crag and from ridge to make ridge, should it become necessary to a jump downward, no matter what the height, they roll themselves up into a kind of ball, vault out into the air, and, turning a succession of somersaults, keep tho ball rolling, so to speak, until they strike on their powerful horns below, The shock would kill an ordinary animal, but these wary denizens of the mountains don’t seem to mind it much, for they spring to their leet and go bounding over impossible chasms ana jagged make rocks until it becomes necessary to an- other descent, when the same tactics are rfc The the 1 follow ollowimr 111 store story of of the the capture captuie of a bighorn by 1-. b .
