IIo proposed that every farmer should devote a. large part of his land to oglgl-farming, and by this means we would not only re- tain the whole of the egg trade of tIlc c001111y in our own bands, but also be able to compete with the foreign egg merchants abroad. A' , labyrinth of figures accompanied the et • eeleen0, which went to prove that there would be n net profit of $10 _rel' acre for the farmer who cone ,ducted ins operations on this prim: chile ; so that a man with, say, 500 acres could make a clear $3,00¢ per annual by worsting 800 acres on the egg system. Thele Were, of course, a variety of errors and flaws in this gentleman's' figures and facts. As an instance of how a crank of this sort ncwilects the consideration of most important fac- tor's, there was actually NO MENTION OF RENT STUDY OI' WEDS. In the great war against !seeds, it is of the utmost importance that farmers become familiar 191111 their (lietinctivc peculiarities as to habits of growth and the general appear- ance of the plants turd their sexed, so that they may be able to adopt suitable measure:, for lighting then!. Like all other plants, Weeels are classitled according to their length of life, es annuals, biennials, and petemninls. Annuals, 05 their name implies, exhaust. themselves in a single veasun. They are of two classes: Winter annuals and summer annuals, The first named variety spring up in the 1011 and live over Winter, pl'odeci1g seed early in the mutative; while the summer annuals spring ftp, grow and die during the same season. ]lienalials, although existing tufo years, only produce one crop of seed. During the first year they devote their energy to the pro- duction of seed -making materiels, which are stored up in a fleshy tap- root. The second year, the plant develops more fully, matures seed, I and dies. Pet•ollnials, like biennials, produce neither flower nor seed the first rear. Tinlike biennials, however, they yield repeated crops during suc- ceeding seasons. There aro two classes of this variety of weeds. One shaving creeping or underground stools, by which the plant spreads, and another which has an ordinary root, but does not multiply by that means. To this class 1)elong bulb- ous and taproot perennials. 111- 11110(13411 a knowledge as to whether the life -history of a weed extends over one, two or more years may be of great value when methods of eradication aro being considered, yet it mist be remembered that an- 1 mals, for example, (11(301' very nntclh in the amount of labor necessary to THAT "COWY" S2,LELL.

This idea is sim- ply to smoke 300000 hands and parts of the person affected; use any ma- terial that will smoke after you deaden the blaze. Let it run over the hands 115 and clothing and. it will change the odor to that of whatever material you use. The smoke from a splint of any kind of wood or dry weed or some kind of Herb, or, if you ate smoker, your cigar orpipe, will do it and you have their odor instead of that stable odor, 'What would leave the most pleasant odor would be the smoke from a splint of hickory or sassafras wood.

SOWING CLOVER limo. The quantity of the seed depends upon the condition of land, writes 1Cr, A, A, Berry. Where clover is raised and soil inoculated with clov- er bacteria., 11111011 loss seed will be required and the stand is more easi- ly obtained. Eight to 15 moulds an acre of either straight clover, ac clover and timothy or standard "My friends," said a politician the other defy, With a burst of ingenu- ous eloquence, "1 Will be honest--" The terrific outburst of npplallso which followed this remark entirely upset the , point which the orator was about to introduce, Mss Johanson --Was you evah in a 1ght, Metall Jackson ? rite. ,lacksont--- Yo' sumps to (iiel'emtniter dat I'm a widower, Miss 011l18illj , in his rnlculations. Apart from the impossibility of devoting so much land to any one branch of agricul- ture, the profit of $10 per acre would absolutely vanish when the burden of rent, rates, and taxes is 1taken into account, A ,ouch more practical scheme for the improvement of agriculture was devised some years ago by a very clever farmer, who also published his ideas in a pamphlet. Briefly, his notion was to convert the sewerage matter of the towns into farm manure, instead of running it off by drains into tine rfver5. The manure thus made would be the property of the State, and sold to the farmers at a minimums cost, The idea was distinctly ingenious. Sewerage mat- ter contains a considerable quantity of nitrogen, which is one of the most valuable constituents of the soil, anti is one of the most expen- sive components of artificial manure. If it were possible to adopt the plan of concerting sewerage matter into manure, the farmer would be saved a very considerable expense in. the purchase of his manure, and would be able to vastly improve the growing qualities of his land. 11010 - over, clever as the idea was, it was never found to be practicable, one of the primary objections to it being the great danger to pulr111c health in- volved by storing the sewerage mat- ter. A SUSSEX FARMER conceived t110 idea some years ago of the "rest cure" as applied to laud. The question of how to restore to the soil the strength and growing properties taken out of It 1b'y grow- ing crops on the land is one that ev- ery farmer has considered. All arti- ficial manures are made with the ob- ject in view of strengthening the land,but exports differ as to the best chemicals to employ in the manufacture of these manures. This Sussex farmer, however, pro- posed to do away altogether with. manures, and renew the strength of the land by leaving it rd1e for some time. 130 told his fellow -farmers that if they could afford to leave their farms idle for a couple of years the soil would bo completely reju- venated, and as fertile as the soil in America, or the best fields of Aus- tralia, and British agriculture would then be able to flourish he spite of foreign competition, Me, Acland, W110 WOS one of the most experienced and able farmers this country ever produced, •was at the time melting inquiries on the con- ditions of farming in Sussex, and ems 051onnded at such an absurd idea. In writing on the subject, 11e said: "Some people in Sussex have conceived the extraordinary notion of benefiting the soil by GIVING- IT A REST, on the same principle as a medical loan orders an overworked patient to take a holiday." At one time ninny people Wore firmly convinced that nothing re- mained for the lirrittsll farmer but to devote all his energies to the manu- facture of cheese.' This important branch of the dairy Industry under-, went a g'leat change in 1870, when cheese factories wore first started by the English fanners, The idea Was taken from the Americans, who imported an im- mense quantity of cheese made in their factories into this country. The late Duke of Devonshire tools a very iceett interest its the subject., and '11 was at Derby that the first cheese factory i11 this country was, - started. Ilut there is decidedly a1 limit to ' 111e beneflts to be derived from cheese factories.
