Seme Interesting figures as to the proportion of farmers' boys among college students have been gathered by the American Agriculturist. It has returns from ITS universities and col leges, reporting an attendance of 62.- 000 students, out of a total of 97.000 in all the higher educational institutions of the country. In its analysis of the figures the Agriculturist reduces the number of students considered to a lit tle under 52,000, fot some unexplained reason excluding, it says, a few city colleges, like Harvard, Pratt Institute, University of Rochester, Fisk Univer sity and others. Out of this total of about 52,000 it finds that nearly 21.000 are from the agricultural classes, or a percentage of 40.2 from the farm. This percentage varies largely in different sections of the country. It Is 50.9 in the South. 45.8 in the far West. 40.1 in the central West. 29.4 In the Middle States and 29.1 in New England. "In no other nation will any such condi tion be found,” comments the Agricul turist. “It Is a wonderful tribute to the general intelligence of our Ameri can farmers’ families, and to the high hopes and deep aspirations oftheir suns and daughters. This exhibit adds mightily to the dignity of agriculture, at least in the eyes of the masses in other vocations.”—Exchange. For Dre sintc Fowls. The tilting table here shown Is Just big enough to hold a fowl firmly be tween the side boards, with its head or neck down through the opening, so that no blood will get upon the table or the feathers. The latter can thus be kept clean and sold. Even at a low price, the feathers from large flocks make not a little addition to the profit side of the account. This method permits the One very essential thing In extracting honey is a good sharp honey knife, as a dull knife will break and mutilate the combs. Shave off the cappings as even ly as possible so as to keep the combs of a uniform thickness. After remov ing the capping from both sides of the comb place it in ’he basket or reel of the extractor with the top of the frame to ward the outside of the extractor. When both frames are put In this way the ma chine will run evenly without jolting or jarring. Be careful to put In combs of equal weight, as near as you can judge, as a light comb on one side and a heavy one on the other will cause the reel to wabble aud sometimes jump out of the socket. Turn the crank slowly at first if the combs are very heavy. Only throw out part of the houey from the first side, then reverse the combs aud turn fast enough to throw out all the honey from that side, then reverse the combs again and run the machine fast enough to throw out all that remains. A little practice will soon enable any one to tell bow fast to turn the crank: If turned too fast the first time when the combs are heavy it breaks the cells.—Farm, Field aud Fireside. Mr. G. II. Snyder, a well known citizen of Lawrence, Kan., said : ‘‘I am now seventy years of age, About three years ago I experienced a coldness or numbness in the feet, then creeping up my legs, until It reached my body. I grew very thin In flesh, appetite poor and I did not relish my food.

I used twelve boxes In all, and was perfectly cured. Although it is six months since I used rny last pill there has been no recurrence of the disease.”—f Laurence Journal.

The Farm Gnrrten. For a farmer to begin gardening with several varieties of each kind of vege table is to fail with some, ns farmers do not. as a rule, give much attention to gardening. About one-half of th« I varieties In many seed catalogues could be eliminated with advantage. If the garden Is to be a specialty next year mow off the grass and weeds, aud plow the land in the fail, applying manure liberally, and then harrowing it in. Next spring plow the garden again, and use only a few varieties of each vegetable, selecting such as may be supposed to be the best. The fall is the time to prepare the garden plot, so as to expose it to the action ot the frosts in winter. Tlie finest looking people of Europe are said to be the Tzigaies, or gypsies, of Hungary.

CASCARETS are wonder-workers in the cure of any disease caused by bad or impure blood. They eliminate all poisons, build up and enrich the blood, enabling it to make new, healthy tissue. Bure blood means perfect health, and if you will use Cascareis they will give you good health and a pure, clean skin, free from pimples and blotches.

By so doing it requires but a few seconds to determine the distances for trees. Peach trees, placed twenty feet apart each way, will give five rows with five trees in each row, or twenty-five per acre. Seventy rows, each row three feet apart aud 200 feet long, will about lay off an acre. Al though not strictly correct, the use of 200 feet square will answer all pur poses where a rough estimate is to b« made. “AV.

Unnere *vry Fence*. In every wooded country the first Im pulse of the farmer when he clears the land of timber is to make much use of It for rails and posts to fence the farm thoroughly. No doubt for those early times plenty of feDces to divide the farm Into small fields was a conveni ence. It enabled the farmer to pasture his stock without allowing old and young to Berd together. There was more labor in plowing and cultivating these smffll fields, but so much of the work of weed killing was done by hand labor that this did not much matter. That era rather than the present was when “The man with the hoe,” as de scribed in Mr. Markham's poem, would N|^^iest apply to American farm workers. Ms The itreat Improvement in cultivating and harvesting machinery has enor mously lessened the labor of the farm er. One of Its best effects is doing away with all need for most of the fences that were formerly deemed essential to good farming. When to Plow an Orchard. About four times as much material can be secured by cutting hay on the meadows as by pasturing stock ou th« land, yet experiments demonstrate thal more profit is derived by pasturing the meadow plot than by using It from which to secure a crop of hay owing to the great saving in labor in the care required when cattle are given the us« of the pasture, while the greater-diges tibility and dietary effects of the green food secured on the pasture are such as to promote thrift of the animals and increase the flow of ntllk. as well as add to the weight of the young stock. THE TABLET The best time to plow an orchard is in the fail, as a heavy application of stable manure can be applied on the land and left as a mulch to remain dur- Ing the winter. The frosts will disin tegrate the manure and the soluble matter will be carried down to the roots by the time spring opens. If pre- -——ftntd. ths manure may be harrowed i viceable on the bed.
