Tho prisouors' camp is eituntod In tio hoalthlest locullty. . - - - l out Heed. It would bo impossible to compute tho loss by tho use of poor nnd foul seeds each year. Wc can test seed nnd Und out what percentage of It docs not gerinlunte, and thus estimate a possible Increase In tho amount necessary to use for a Hold, or the decrease of crop If wo fall to make that allowance. But as tho cost of caring for and harvesting the product of nu ncre Is nearly the same whether tho crop Is large or small, the cost of growing n bushel or a ton Increases as the yield diminishes. Dut even this could be more cosily borno than the cost of caring for the crop, as It Is increased and Its value dimin ished by an admixture of foul weeds In tho seed wo have bought. We could easily afford to pay much higher prices for seeds If we could have a guarantee of their purity. Tho Agricultural De partment has done some good work In examining both home-grown nnd Im ported seeds, nnd whilo they have found most of the varieties of seeds which wc export to be reasonably free from foul seed, and thus have helped to And greater sale for them abroad, they have also found that some varie ties which wo Import are badly mixed with the seed of undesirable weeds, particularly from certain sections, where they must be either dishonest or criminally careless. Whichever It may be, these Inspections may help to re duce the evil, but It will be only when there shall be capable Inspectors au thorized to thoroughly examine and brand packages of seed, and provide for the adequate punishment of those who sell seed for what It Is not, .that farmers will have the protection which they have a right to demand.

This earth Is best sodded. The door way Is then uinde lu tho front of the building and If desired a loading door may bo made on one side of the top to !tako In the fruit or roots. A double 'frame Is made In tho doorway and two tight doors arc set In, with a spaco of two or three feet between them. If desirable this spaco may bo tilled In when the house Is closed for the win ter with sheaves of straw or hay or hundles of cornstalks. To Tell Oleomnrjrnrlne. That a great deal of oleomargarine and butterlne, colored contrary to law, Is sold for the genuine nrtlcle Is a well known fact. Olio, of tho surest tests Is to subject the sample to Intense heat. If the melted sample bubbles and sput ters, it Is butter; If It lies perfectly In animate, It Is oleomargarine. The art of coloring and flavoring cot-ton-scedbll and lard In Imitation of fluo creamery butter has become so perfect that unless subjected to some such test tho difference Is not apparent. Thero aro a number of methods used by chem ists, and In cases whero even the above-mentioned test Is found Inade quate the chemist can tell by using an apparatus. A St. Louis wholesale dealer lu butter says: "Not every ouo can tell the dlffcrenco between butter and the Imitation, even after trying tho heat test. Mjr advice to those who want real butter Is to stick to the grocers who handle only butter. Many tricks nro used In order to sell the colored oleo. An unscrupulous grocer will tell you ho has somo extra One "Elgin" or "dairy," but ho will not say butter. It Is Elgin oleomnrgnrlue or dairy oleo margarine. Tho law gives tho con sumer somo protection, for In the Uni ted States courts It goes hard with tho man who falls to stamp each packago of oleo with the Avoid." Xiimo to Prevent niseuiie. Tlio best preventive of gapes Is to plow or spado the ground Intended for young chicks as soon as tho frost Is gono, and then scntter air-slacked lime liberally over tho surface, Is the opin ion of a poultry writer In tho Farm, Field and Fireside, Gapes general ly como from tho soil, and as lime de stroys any eggs or otner sources of gapeworms, tho chicks will escape. Salt may also bo added In small quantities, Lime Is cheap, and It Is better to use It ou the ground than to work trying to Save tho chicks and lose a large num ber. Tho ground should be limed at early as possible. Lime Is also a pre ventive of roup. To get rid of filth Is to avoid dlseaso In the flocks, for when disease appears the germs nre re tained In the ground. For that reason every location occupied by poultry should be occasionally spaded . or plowed; When performing such work, first scatter alr-slakcd lime over the surface, and turn under the top soil, following by another application of lime on tbo surface. The lime causes a chemical action In the soli which quickly destroys tho filth by changing Its composition. Clipping Clover Fields. A writer' In Ohio Farmer advocates the clipping of clover the first year after the wheat Is off, and even twice If necessary to prevent It' from blossom ing, ns that weakens the next year's growth. This year he clipped on Aug. 1 and cxpecta to clip again In Septem ber, no has done so for several years until year before last, and he said ho would never omit It again. The hay last year whero It was not clipped was very dirty, full of stubble and trash, while where too large a growth was made before winter, It lodged and smothered out the crop. He cuts high, removing the swath board, and likes to cut Just after a rain, leaving all tho growth on the ground as a mulch, which protects tho roots In winter and keeps the ground more moist in sum mer. It might be pastured off and get some growth for cattle or sheep, but they will not feed on the ranker grow ing places, and feed the other too close ly, thus making them liable to be win ter killed. Ho docs not think this pays, and would prefer to grow green crops to help out the pasturage than to us the newly seeded fields', tie wonts to leave clover about six Inches high when winter comes. Lice on Chickens. We use once a week a little kerosene and lard mixed, and rubbed on the breast and under the wings of the mother hen, and, a good sprinkling of the kerosene over the litter In the night quarters. This Is all done after the chickens go to roost. The fumes of the kerosene will finish all the lice oa the bodies of the chicks, and the lard, which they will rub from the mother on to their heads, will do for those on the beads. There Is no danger of suffo cating the chicks, as In the summer time they will Invariably roost with their heads out from under the ben's wings. Adopting this method we aro never troubled with lice on our chicks, nnd though I have raised poultry for twenty-five years I have never seen ft mite. My neighbors have all been troubled with them, and the only rea son that I have not Is because the quar ters for the bens are kept very clean. by the use of plenty of kerosene; and I never overcrowd my chickens. The lote hatched chicken Is surely worthy of your careful consideration. You will find that there Is a nice little sum of money to be made In this way. Geneva March in Epltomlst. Weedy Milk. There are weedy pastures In the land, nnd there are pastures free from weeds, says the Creamery JournaL It Is plain that the more milk from clean pastures and the less from weedy pastures we have In the creamery the better the chance to get a good flavor. The creamery manager, In order to man age, must know the farm conditions of each nnd every patron, nnd tho weedy milk must be separated so as to run ns little milk as possible Into the crenm. As It Is not practicable to keep all the milk from clean pastures sepa rate from that coming from weedy pas tures at the weigh can at least It may not be practicable the proper caper is to separate all the cream, thick and 'rich, running the minimum of milk Into the cream, then take same cans of milk from patrons with pastures free from weeds, patrons who nre ueat and tidy, who keep tho milk pure and uu- contaminated, and dump this milk straight Into the cream vat In sufficient quantity to lnsuro the right percentage of fat In the cream and cause It to ripen In time. Creamery JournaL Poultry on the Farm. Tho farmer Is the backbone of tho poultry Industry, If we except the cus; tomer. Wc mean that the farm remains the chief source of supply of market poultry. We say "remains" advisedly, becauso the greater opportunities which the farmer has at his door aro gradually being stolen from under his nose by tho large poultry farms which are springing up and have for yearn been springing up all over the country poultry farms wrlch nro established to supply market poultry and eggs of a superior class. How long the farm will remain the source of supply depends to a great extent upon the farmer, and he has not yet settled In his mind that poultry-breeding pays. There are a few farmers hero and there who know It, but they keep the knowledge to them selves ns a rule. Poultry Keeper. Leicester Ram Royal Maidstone.

A Q"let bat Oonndent Feeling In tH Oennrnl Trade. Brndstreet's says: As tho jobbing, trade tends to lessen with the advance of tho full season, tho repressive influ ence of auti-oloction feeling become moro clently perceptible, and tho result Is h generally quiet, though at the same titno confident fooling In goneral trado, which tho stock market has ap parently begun to discount, with the result of swelling curront 'bank clear ings well obovo recent totals. As for somo time past, the best trade advlcoe como from tho South, which romaine cheerful in splto of lower cotton. Pa cific coast advices nro that export trade is very large, ns tho result ol nrmy needs nnd Asiatic requirements North western trado is, on tho whoIo( quiet, nnd the disposition to chnrge tho eleo tlon with this is manliest. Enstcrn wholesale trade is qiuot but steady; The country's foreign trade Is in flattering condition, September exports being tho largest ever reported for that month, and, swelled by high prices, cotton shipments, nlno months' re turns aro far in advanoo of all previous years. Imports, on tho othor hand, show few gains, nnd tho outlook is for a record-breaking oxport trado and a morcbandiso balance for tho calendar year far in advance of all othor voars. Prices of farm products havo tended downward this week. The most nota ble drop has been in cotton, half a cent, for tho wcok, nnd 1 cent from the high est point reached, duo to the good pick Inrr walinr nnd nbsenco of frost, en couraging maximum tstimatesof yield, and also becauso of tho heavy weight of receipts brought out by tho high prices ot two weoks ago.
