FARM. Haxbowiso. — It U laid down by a writer in the Amman CutUeator at good husbandry that grain and corn ahoold be often harrowed, •adtbevgumcnt It Med that It dlatorbt the toil and lakes out the gratt and weedt; again, that thlt can be done with perfect safety and without Injury to the future crop. " Now let ut take corn for Instance. It it aald that thlt should be often harrowed, and that It may be done without lajury until the corn shall be at least six inches high. To stir the toil often U to important a matter at to admit no doubt. Equally important it H to restore the gfatt and weedt; but it the harrow the implement with which to perform this work? If it be laid that to harrow a Odd of young com or grain will Injure it tome and benefit it more, and upon the whole the benefit would outweigh the injury, this would be a proposition which, while open to controversy; would atill be entirely different from the one laid down at good husbandry. It would ' meaa at though gratt or weeds, with their numerous roots, must adhere to the | •oil as firmly as young corn with iu one j root, or at moat its very few roots. If ( to, whence comet mil that nice discrimination on the part of the harrow tooth ] to destroy the one and do no Injury to the other? Will not s blow from s harrow tooth do as much violence to the j tender blade at would a blow from a hoe or a club or a falling hall stone ? To be 1 sure, It is said the teeth of the harrow must be slentlog. On the other hand, if the teeth be sufficiently slanting to disturb nothing, thou the work will be useleas. Again, It the teeth be sufficiently ' upright to affoct the grass and weedt la 1 any manner, how can they run over the ' field without affecting the corn in like ' manner? When in the parable the ser- ' vanta of the boueebold inttictlvely asked ' permission to go forth and gather up the tares the answer wee: " Nay. lest while 1 ye gather up tares ye root up also the 1 wheat with them." It may be said that the Testament is not an authority upon agriculture, yet it is a book which we j reverence and believe, and I submit that ' the direction therein given Is much more eentible than that of the late uninspired writers on this subject." A gardener recommends soot as an excellent fertiliser for plants, especially pot plants. An easy way to apply it Is water. Tie the soot up In a bag and place It In hot water, working It around with the hands or a nick until the watrr ■hall have washed the soot from the bag; dilute with cold water. Boot-water Is excellent for roses, abutlloos, pelargoniums and other flowering plants. With the pots full of roots It appears to be especially effective. The best soil for the strawberry it a deep, strong loam, with an impervious, hard pan subsoil. This land should be an old field that win grow three fourths , of a ton of hay to the acre, and should , be planted to corn the first year, the sec- ( ond year to potatoes. These two years to hoed crops will well fit the land f r ( the strawberry and will dear it of the ( white grab, the worst enemy of the < strawberry plant. Iafertlle egga are t source of jnoch lost to poultry men, and the prime cause is known only by few. Eggs from fnt ! hens do not hatch well, snd should there 1 be any chicks they will be weak. An i overfed, fat cock la also undesirable ; he , should have plenty of cxen-ise and kept In only moderato flesh. Inbreeding is another cause of weak, sickly chicks and Infertile eggs Males should be changed every year, end only pure-bred c cocks used. ( For a permanent pasture use a variety j of grasses. The kind beet adapted to . the location will assert its superiority, snd hi time give a good reward. It is F not advisable to turn stock on a perms- fl nent pasture until the ground shall have * been well covered. Trampling Injures - the graae, while graxing It too soon in- , Jureaite vitality. At least three years » should be allowed for growth before C turning on stock. The greater the rati- j, ety of grasses the thicker the growth „ and the better the pasture. Severely cutting bark the dead wood . on the peach trees will start them into 11 new life. If the tree be dead at the top. o and the wood near the trunk green, the ti new buds will soon give a new top. By , keeping all the Injured old wood cut ' away the tree will do service much loa- " gerthaa is usually the case with peach " Wt , * Tns Library Magazine. g py.*. "eg****,;? , by M.

This fringe is short end J " fluffy, so that it will not turn up at the j ends and grow shabby. ' There Is always a summer craze in fancy work. This year it will be in the * line of knitting and crocheting. There " are some lovely new patterns in crocheted edgings which I will give from time : to time. e It Is not the fashion this season for I gentlemen to carry their umbrellas under their arms, with " the devil take the ' i hindmost " air which has usually distins guiahed them. When not in use umbrellas are carried like canes. | The old fashioned cross stitch la once ( more In vogue, and beautiful cushions, mats and tidies are shown In our decorative establishments. Like Banquo's ghost, crom stitch Is bound to bob up. Sewing aprons are made in every pos. | slble material and manner. China silk and cream pongee trimmed with Valen- ) ciennes lace crossed with diagonal bands of whits ribbon, would seem to the strictly utilitarian mlod a little too nice, | but when the worker Is dressed In an ar- ' tistic tes^own, and Is embroidering a . | pale blue silk table mat for imtanee, then | there Is an Indisputable appropriateness •bout this fancy dress protector. ( It is also a la mode this spring for gen- | , tlemen to put the finishing touches to their toiieus before tbey leave the house. Paring and cleaning the finger nails in public conveyances is not so stylish as it wont to be. Fashion is also Inexorable in regard to the nasal noises and { expectorations which used to be so soothing to the rasped nerves snd weak stomachs for the minority traveler. ^ Fashion hsa decreed that the proper | place for all these things is In the priv- ( scy of ooe's own apartment "Inquirer" writes that she thinks | that there is a manifest discrepancy befashion plates and fashion reports ( this season.

In the meantime I am happy to , 1 recommend the Good Benaeooraet of Forris Bros., New York — though I do wish I ' they would drop the word " comet" for ; in this case it is a misnomer. Theee ' waists can be found in every large ra-l , tail store, and will be found to give Just the right support without binding in ' place or interfering with respiration.
