In almoat every neighborhood there I
are farmers, who are said to have “bad
luck,”
Their health ip good; ’ ,
ilieir muscles are strong and active, '
and lli-y would lie highly insulted
were any one to insinuate that they
were in the least detici» nt in intellect.
Yet these men and their families eke i
out a miserable existence, claiming :
that this is a very wickt d world, and I
that the Almighty is pa. t fol in liis i
distribution of riches.
In plowing among apple trees a '
great difference is noticeable between
those thoroughly cultivated and those .
neglected a few years, as to the posi .
tion of their roots.
The orchard
plowed every year has most of its
feeding roots just below reach of the ,
plow. That left in grass rune its feed
ing roots nearer the surface, and the
1
plow necessarily destroys a great many. '
This does not injure them much
while the tree is dormant. As soon
as the leaves appear the destruction of
the roots by plowing or by anything
else is a great check to the vitality of
the tree.
The first brood of larvae of the elm .
leaf beetle will appear in June. Timely
application of Paris green or London
purple in water, sprayed over and
amoDg the foliage of the trees will
destroy this pest. But the spray will
leave some poison on the grass, The
poisoned trees need not be in a r
_,
par
ture lot nor around the dwelling house,
to be a source of danger. If there is 1
the least possible chance of uorBes,
cows, sheep or other animals grazing
about them, or of children playing
there, the greatest caution should be
observed iu using arsenites.
It is conceded by those who have
given the^ subject careful attention
that a turn with the roller will save
the ploughed ground at least one bar
rowing.
Then after the orop is
planted it comes in for a rolliug to the

roller.
The meadows, especially,
should be rolled before the soil be
comes too dry. Let the driver collect
in his box all loose stones large
enough to be seen; the small ones
will be pressed into the ground so that
the mowing knife will miss them.
Don’t forget to.yse the barrow. Use
it early and often. Use it to get the
•surface in good condition for plan ting.
Use it to stir the surface after the crop
is planted.
With fine steel teeth
-lanling back it will run smooth, slic
ing the furrows without tearing them
up or lurnin^Qjem over. After the
corn and potatoes are planted takeout
one or two of the middle teeth and
you can des1 roy the weeds two row,
at a time. Repeat the 'operation at
right angles with the corn when it is
coming up and again when two inches
high, and the most important work
ings are over, for you have kept the
weeds at bay and given the corn a
chance to get the start of its worst
enemies.

The mother in most cases is drawn
from the humbler walks in life and can

maintenance of her child. Slio accord

fur the reception and care of her little
one. A fixed sum per week is decided
ranging according to l<xation fmm
$1 to $5, agd the transaction is coo-
4uded. Perhaps the unfortunate mother 1
is sometiiiire lucky enough to have as
partner in her guilt one who will io, tlie
weekly sti|>end. He furnishes tho money 1
for three or five or ten weeks, but with
each succeeding payment he grows tired
of the job, and finally lie drops off alto,
gether.
The baby farmer gets im|>atient. 8he I

some personal 'tecHfice to help for its I
maintenance, but the struggle proves too I
much and tlie next chapter in the story I
is the announcement to the erring I
mother some day that the baby is dead. I
Of coumT, if tho child has died while en- I
during some of the thousand ills that I
babyhood is heir to a |iermit for its I
burial is easily procurable, and that is I
the last of the drama. But in nearly all
ca w it is very bard for even a skilled
physician to properly account for the lit- I
hl one’s departure (rom this unfriendly-
world, and no more is heard of the case.
But there are other baby farms, many I
>f them in the gilded neighborhood where
Ward McAllister’s “400’’ society orna-
meute Hutter, and there tire procedure
charges and arrangements differ, but in
he long run the result is invariably the
<une. The pricescharged for the reception
of infants in some of these places run at
■ligh us $10 a week, but in the majority
of c:tses tlie bargain is made by the pay- ■
meat of a lump sum which will cover
cost of keeping tho baby until it is
-Id enough to l>o received in an orphan
isylupi or disposed of in some other way. E
tlent-rally the children of such people are
offered for adoption and in this way
nearly 40 per cent, of tho baby farm
children of tlm better cl^ss ore disposed
of, because tlie mothers do not wish to
have them sent to asylums, where their

i -jingling with waifs of tho common herd. ■
As tlie matter is at present conducted
in this city all applications from persons
■to keep and maintain infants" are turn-
ed over to the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children by the board of
health.
The society investigates tbd
moral surroundings of the applicant, and ■
the board of health looks after tho sani- |
tary arrangements. When everything is
found all right a pennit is issued. Ths
iistablisliment at that point is lost sight ■
of, and the board of health or- the Chil- ■
-iron's society may know no more about ■
the place or the number of babies kept
here or the way they aro treated than the
emptgor of Morocco. Safety for tlie lives
of tln-se unfortunate waifs can only tie
relied upon in the regular institutions, K
where the utmost care that tender nurses, ■
aided by the most approved scientific ap-
nliances, can give, is administered.
The utmost efforts of the police autbfri- g
lies or the Children's socioty to prevail ■
(buses in the system thus far have failed’

iu the way of reform. The villainous
women who, for a consideration, squreM
the young lives out of so many title
waifs year by year, adopt many »nd
clever ruses to escape detection in their ■
foul work, and they generally succeed. ■
These people give such an unenviable
reputation to places construct«! and run ■
on a purely legitimate basis that tho un- ■
fortunate mothers are more frequently ■
tempted to throw their helpless offspring
into the depths of the North or East ■
rivers than consign them to a fate tint k
worse than death itself.—New lork
