Worn Out Lands.
A writer in the Southern Cvllivotor
tells of a farm he owns in Tennessee
where the fields are badly worn out
and washed out by many years' culti
vation. 1 urned out fields are grown
to sedge, briers and Implies, and have
many washed out gullies. A century
or lees of cultivation, so-called, has
done this, and he now is experiment
ing with graspes, to find some way to
make available pasture and return the
soil to Uaefulnees. He fays there are
hundreds of millions of acres in simi
lar condition. It is well enough for
the people who commence to till a new
soil to look ahead to what the land
they own may come as a poor inheri
tance for their heirs, and try to follow
some method of farming that can pre
serve tome degree of fertility, rather
than exhaust its virtues and thereby
beggar their heirs. There are many
farms m this beautiful and fertile val
ley that have aheady lost so much
productive power as to not brine nearly
so good crops as in the beginning,
mere is no pro nt leit in growing
staple crops on such land, and the
question is : How long will it be be
fore cropping such land will ceae, and
it be "turned out'' like IhoHe worn nut
lands in TennestieeT
It is poskible to pursue a profitable
system of rotation, with clover as a
restorer, when closer will grow, or by
putt ng land to glass and feeding
stock on the land, and by prudent
management prevent the continuance
of such waste as has been practiced
here. There is downright wickedness
in destroying the fertility that his
been accumulating for untold aces
To do this lgnoranily and blindly is
bad enough, but the world has reached
common-sense knowledge of soils
and their management that no man
can be ignorant of, unless he is blind
to all sense and deaf to all reason.
Robbing the toil should be made a
worse crime than felony..

It requires more labor to enease in
gardening as compared with farming,
but les.s land is required. The mobt
profitable crops are not those that
give the largest yields, but which
bring the highest price, compared with
the cost.
Pig pens should not be on the same
location every season. By having
them movable much valuable manure
can be secured from the saturated
earth around the old sites, while the
change to fresh places will greatly
promote cleanliness and health.

After removing the mulch in the
spring from tho strawberries hoe be
tween the rows after the soil shall
have become somewhat warmed, as
that will let more warmth and air
down to the roots. A small portion of
wood ashes scattered alone the row
after hoeing would be very beneficial.
The warbles, or bunches on dm
backs of the cattle, may be killed by
puncturing them through tho en
trance hole with an awl, or by syring
ing in a few drops of carbolic aeid
slightly diluted. If let alone each
grub will make another gadfly to tor
ment the cattle next summer.
"False blossoms," or "rose bloceom"
on the blackberry (peculiar to the
Wilson especially) is caused by a worm
naicneu irom eg;,'s deposited by a
winged insect. The canes should be
cut below the enlargement caustd by
the worms, in the fall, and burned, in
crder to destroy the insect.
The persimmon tree does not de
prive the oil of a large amount of fer
tilizing elements, and for that reason
makes the best of shade trees for stock.
in tne bouth, even on abandoned
ucius, wie persimmon is allowed to
grow. Its growth is slow, however,

Severely outtiug back the dead wood
on the peach trees will BUrt them into
new uie. If the tree be dead at the
top and the wood near the trunk
green, the new buds will soon give a
new top. By keeping all the injured
old wood cut away the tree will do ser
vice much longer than is usually the
case with peach trees.

In securing sed be careful that you
are not buying varieties with new
names. Old, dried varieties of vege
t ibles should never be dicardtd as
long as they give good results. A
change of seed without first einori-
nientiug with the new variety the year
previous, may cause a lots o'f the en
tre crop.
A POWERFUL EXPLOSIVE
One That Contains Neither Nltro-Uljwnn
Nor Nltro-Ollulota.
An explosive which is prepared in i
solid form, and contains neither nitn
glyeerine. nitro-crlltilose nor nitn
lienzlne has been . invented by M:
lludolf Sjoberg, of Stockholm. It uu?
not only be employed for blastit;
operations in mines and in quarries.

The preparation is carried out in uri

inixed with melted purified solid hydro
carbon, and is gelatinized wilh liqui!

with more molted hydrocarbons. By

prevented. Among the solid hyJro
crtrbimsr hii uses napliiliiiliiie, jiarafllM
and the like, and among the liquii
hydrowirboiiH he uses puriuVd
afline or astral oil. In order to facili
tate the explosion or discharge of th
substance, and Ui increase its explosive
power, he adds there to finely powdered
chlorate of potash either in its par
.tate or after it has been gelantinufd
in the same manner as the nitrate ol
ammonia. The salts treated in thi
mannpr when mixed together do M
come in direct contact with o
another.
It is stated that the explosive thoi
prepared has. at least, as great por
as any heretofore ordinarily manu
factured, and that it posessos a greatr
amount of safety than they, whether
in the course of manufacture or whe
being transported or manipulated. ta
