Sine«- rugs and <ira|>eries are the ole
jects of universal desire in them- days
(and surely nothing change- tin ap
pea ranee of a rmioi so much), aud since
every domestic success fuss, a suggestive
valtrt , let me tell you what a charming
curtain and rug I have just seen, made
of rags. The young lady whose room
they adorn has n quick eye for color,
and a deft and rapid tonsil. Both
rug and curtain were m
the weaver in the odd
summer vacation.
The portiere, very rich and dark in
color, looks at the first glance like a
heavy brocade; it has, however, a
brokeu, plusli-llke surface, and one
hardly know» whether it is some costly
oriental fabric or a piece of elaliorate
needlework. In fact, it is made of
scraps of silk and satin, indiscriminately
mingled together and woven after the
fashion of rag carpets. The warp is a
dark red linen thread. The weaving,
done at. a place where this weaving is
a sjiecialty, is in what is called the new
style, which gives u crumpled, hand
made effect, more showy than the
tightly folded flllingof the usual method.
I say the scraps are indiscriminately
mixed together, but of course a certain
discrimination, a certain choice is ex
ercised. and u|>oii that nice feeling for
color which keeps out all incongruous
and jarring fragments, much of the
effect depends. In this special curtain,
n large proportion of tile pieces were
trimmings of very rich, dark silks anil
satins from a manufacturing establish
ment. The ordinary remnants of a
family, even if sufficient in quantity,
would not have been as desirable for
tin- purpose.
The rug. woven in the sanu- way, and
made chiefly from two cast-off dresses
wa quite a successful piece of work
The two colors, 1 tlull green ami gray,
suited the room, and were euliveneil by
a mixture of soft yellow (dyed with
annatto), and tin owner was so de-
lighted with the result as u i> express an
immediate intention of 1 making “a
larger one next summer.’’

Worn Out Laud».
A writer in the Southern Cultivator
tells-of u farm he owns in Tennessee
when- the tields are badly worn out
and washed out by many year»’ culti
vation. Turned-out Helds art- grown
to «edge, brier» and buriies, aud have
many witched out gulliee. A century
or lee* of cultivation, no-called, has
done thin, aud he now is experiment
iug with grantee, to find some way to
make available pasture and return the
soil to usefulness. He says there are
hundredn of millions of acres in simi
lar condition. It is well enougii for
the people wiio commence to till a new
soil to look ahead Co what the land
they own may come as a poor inheri
tance for their heirs, and try Co follow
some method of farming thal can pre
serve some degree of fertility, rather
than exhaust its virtues and thereby
beggar their heirs. There are many
farms in this beautiful and fertile val
ley that have already lost so much
productive power as to not bring nearly
so good crops as in the beginning.
There is no profit left in growing
staple crops on such land, and the
question is: How long will it be be
fore cropping such land will cease, and
it be “turned out ’ like those worn •lit
lands in Tennessee?
Il is possible to pursue a profitable
system of rotation, witii clover as a
restorer, when clover will grow, or by
putt ng land Co grass 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 has
been accumulating for untold ages.
To do this ignorantly and blindly is
bad enough, but the world has reached
a common-seiiee 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 soil should be made a
worse crime than felony.
The market for fat sheep shows
these days very clearly that the man
who remembers that carcasses as well
as lieeces are Co be sold from his iiocks
is the shepherd that is going to win.
In 1850 the English sparrow in
America occupied the area of a single
tfee or tree-box. Now he disports him
self over an area 885,000 square miles
in the United Htates and 150,000 in
'Canada.
I lie largest horse in the United
¡States is owned by Mark Thode of
.Mattoon, 111.
He is only three years
old, measures nineteen hands high,
and recently gained 250 pounds in
five weeks.
Dr. W. L. Challis, of Atchison, Kas.,
is having (lie cottonwood trees on his
farm cut down and sawed into lumber.
These trees were planted bv Dr. Challis
in 1858, and are now an average of
three feet in diameter.
It riquires more labor to engage in
gardening as compared with farming,
but les» land is required, The most
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 «round the old sites, while the
Tiange to fresh places will greatly
promote cleanliness anti health.
Among the cattlemen who attended
the recent convention in Denver of the
international Range Association was
Ex-Benator Btephen W. Dorsey, who
is one of the largest cattle owners in
New Mexico. His holdings of ranch
lands at one time aggregated 104,000
acres.
After removing the mulch in the
spring from the strawberries hoe be

wood ashes scattered along the nsws
after hoeing would be- very beneticial.
The warbles, or bunches on the
backs of the cattle, may be killed by
puncturing them through the en
trance hole with an awl. or by ayring
ing in a few drops of carbolic acid
slightly diluted.

“False blossoms.” or “rose blossom”
on the blackberry (peculiar to the
Wilson especially) is caused by a worm
hatched from eggs deposited by a
winged insect. The cane* should be
cut bglow the enlargement caused by
the worms, in the f^U, and burned, in
crdffr to destroy th«- insect.
Tile persimmon tree does not de

In the Houtli, even oil abandoned

grow Its growth is alow, however,
but its fruit is highly valued by st me.
Heverely cutting back the dead wood
on the peach trees will start them into
new life. If the tree be dead at the
t--p and^he wi»al near Hie trunk
green, the new buds will soon give a
new top By keeping all the injured
old woixl cut away the tree will do ser
vice much longer than is usually the
case with peach trees.
In securing seul be careful that you
are not buying varieties with new
names. Old. dried varieties of vege
libles should never be discarded as
long as they give gisxl results. A
ehangx- of seed without first ex peri

Coquettish Cora cared more for good looks;

Sensible Sarah sought first for good health.
So she took Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
