FARMANDGARDEN
Some Things Which May
Be Sown Late.
THE FRUIT ON THE FARM.
With ConsUnt Watching, But No Great
Labor, Every Farmer Can Be
Supplied With Fruit.
Shall farmer continue to produce
fruit for home use in face of the fact
that inaect foe are apparently on the
increase, making fruit-g'owing very un
certain? It is seldom we meet wiui a
farmer who is not discouraged in this
lini. wriipa John L. Shawver in Farm
mid FiremHt, yet they admit that a good
harvest of luscious fruit i very desirable.
Some have determined to give np the
attempt, arguing that upon the same
soil they can produce enough of wheat
or corn to purchase a supply for family
use. Too frequently, however, where
this is the case, the wheat ami corn are
marketed and the money used for other
purposes. It is certainly cheaper to pro
duce one' ow n supply of fruit than to
purchase it on the market, even though
one must contend with insects and dis
eases. One is then assured of a supply
if the season is favorable, and can enjoy
the fruit in its freshest and moat delight
ful condition.
With constant watching, but no great
amount of labor, every farmer's house
hold can be supplied with a choice vari
ety of apples, pears, iieaches, plums,
cherries, grapes and berries. Where
there are children, the care and culture
of trees and shrub will furnish them
with healthful work and recreation. It
will prove a source of many valuable
lessons. And they will grow up to pos
sess many kindly feelings for that dear
old home, where delicious fruits were
always an attraction. 1 low fondly does
a man look lack and recall some favorite
tree beneath which on velvety grass he
romped or rested as taste inclined or oc
casion demanded. Happy hours were
those, and healthful, too;' and through
a busy life, amidst business cares, they
furnish recollection that are in them
selves a source of recreation.
Recall the orchards of twenty-five
years ago. eatlv trimmed, washed
down with diluted lve, watched and
cared for, and loads of delicious fruits.
To-day the orchard is perhaps the most
neglected siot on the farm. It is visited
only for fruit, and the farmer, being dis
appointed in the yield and quality, still
more neislects it 'in future. Stock and
grain claim hi time, and the health-
giving fruit is placed in the background.
Here is room for improvement, and he
who plants and trains a goodly collection
of fruit trees will surely have a bounteous
harvest.
Lale Crop.
Buckwheat and rye for fall and w inter
pasture, turnips, rutabagas and w inter
radishea can be sown in many cases
after the wheat and oats are harvested
and vet give a good yield, A good wav
to put in rve, write N. J. S. in the
l'rairit Farmer, is to sow the seed broad
cast among the corn just before the last
cultivation. In a majority of cases
unless the corn is foul with weed seeds
this is all that w ill be necessary. By
the time the corn is harvested and
hauled off the rve will have made such
a growth as to atlord a considerable
amount of feed in the fall and early
w inter.
Buckwheat is a good crop to grow for
green manuring. Its quick growth, in
addition to the effect produced upon the
soil, places it next to clover to plow
under as a green fertilizer.
heat or oat stubble can lie broken
up and the seed sown broadcast and
harrowed in and a sufficient growth will
be secured before fmst to turn under a
good layer as a fertilizer. If desired, in
anything like a fair season, a good crop
ot grain may be secured, line t wheat
make a good feed for winter, as the
grain can be fed as a change to nearly
all kinds of stock to an advantage.
Of the three root crops rutahairas
should be sown first, as they reiuire
longer time to make a food growth than
the others. Tnrnips should lie sown
next, if any difference is made, and
then the radishes, although a good plan
is to mix turnip and radish seed. From
the middle to the latter part of July is
considered a good time to sow the seed.
1 ne best rule to follow is to sow when
ever the soil is in condition to secure a
good germination. Prepare the soil
nicely and then sow the seed just after a
rain, sowing broadcast, taking pains to
scatter as evenly as possible over the
ground and then cover with a light har
row or brush. These can often be sown
where early crops have already matured
and may be considered catch' crops be
cause they occupy the ground only a
short time, and tliat to a considerable
extent after the first crops have made
their growth. Of course in a very drv
season these crops will often prove a
taiiure, partially or wholly, but in an
average season very fine as well as
profitable yields can be secured, and
those that cannot be marketed profit
ably can always be fed to stock to an
advantage.

In which voung men are regarded in
Boston and New York In reference to
their capacity for business. A middle
aged man who left this city for the
larger one to go into business surprised
his friends here on his return on a visit
by appearing without the full beard
which he wore on his departure. With
his Jaunty mustache, which was the
only relic of his hirsute appendages, he
looked quite youthful, and waa hardly
recognizable by his acquaintances. On
asking the reason for the change lie
said, "A man must look young in Xew
York to got business; my bill beard
streaked with gray was an obstacle to
my success then?, though it was a help
to me in Boston."
I suppose there is enough basis in
this experience of the transplanted
Bostonian to serve as a text for a dis
course on the slow going business meth
ods of this city as compared with Xew
York, but there is something to be
said on the other "side of the question.
The rush and the whirl of American
life are moderated by a system of con
ducting business which leaves time for
Interest in something besides money
making, and it is pleasant to have the

"Illlnd Hal." the Sparrows Friend.
"Blind Hal," the sparrows' friend, is
one of the most interesting inmates in
the quarter for blind men at Blockley
almshouse. He has been a resident of
the ward many years, and has made it
his practice to feed the little birds in
one corner of the yard three times a
day, rain or shine. The birds have got
to know him, and just before feeding
time will congregate in numbers out
side on a tree close by the door through
which he comes. They have learned
to know him, and on his appearance
hail him with a storm of their chatter
and song. They fly to meet him, and
will light upon U shoulders and head.
He carries a stick, yet the little feath
ered friends never fear him, and keep
close to their friend, "Blind Hal"
When he is ill the birds seem to know
it, and keep up such a noise that they
have to be frightened away by some of
the officials. "Blind Hal"' is never so
happy as when feeding his little feath
ered friends. Philadelphia Press,
Her Contant Companion.
People usually enjoy laughing at
those illiterate people who delight in
using words that they do not compre
hend. A lady of this sort lives in one of the
cities of Mine. She is quite wealthy,
moves in "good society," and has a
great ''flow" of language, a good deal
of which is, however, interspersed with
words and expressions that are a trifle
incoherent, to say the least An ac
quaintance was one day talking with
her and wickedly complimented her
upon her unusual and surprising com
mand of language, and upon the fact
that she seemed never at a loss for
words.

complacent, 'that is easily explained.

Eitraonlloary Growth.

of the rapid growth in the human spe

member of the French Academy 'of
Sciences and reported by him in the
annals of that institution". "The sub
ject herein mentioned was a lad of but
7 years of ae when I first saw him ;
but his tender years notwithstanding, j
he measured 4 feet 8 inches and 4 lines
high. His people had observed his
marvelous growth when he was only 2
years of age. At 4 he was able to iift j
and carry a bushel of wheat and to '
throw thebundlesof hay (S3 pounds) to
the four horses each night ; and at 6 he
could lift as much as a sturdy fellow of
20. But although he thus increased in
bodily strength, his understanding was
no greater than is usual with children
of his age; playthings were also his fa
vorite amusements." St. Louis Repub
