The making of collections of posters
Is not a new Idea. Balzac, forty years
ago. wrote in "Scenes from Parisian
Ufe": "You. who can drink n« longer
from the chalice called through all time
the 'cup of pleasure,' take up the task
of collecting something, no matter what.
(People have ere now collected hand-
bills), and you will recover your
Ingots of joy in small change. A hobby,
a mania, is pleasure transformed into
the shape of an idea."

has saved $1,500. There are lots of men
who are willing to marry any woman
who has demonstrated tha; she could

From Avon Park, Fla., comes an or-

magical phrase of 1878, "The way to re-

through them the whole country, to
uln»4on a "Revival Day,” say August
31, by which time let those with Idle
money decide into which of the many
promising channels they shall "turn It
loose." Let every dollar possible on
this day be put into circulation; see how
many debts can be paid; how many new
enterprises started, and how much
business consummated. The impetus
thus given, he believes, will put an end
to hard times.

BLOW WH aiVB
an article from tho
pen of R. 0. Gordon
In the Ohio Farmer.
, It li of great Im-
portance, aa scien-
tists have asserted
.that moles live only
on animal food. If
this man bo right,
tbe mole Is a public
enemy. Tho article
'll as follows:
I read the article of Mr. Cram, In re-
gard to inolrs. In n late-Issue of Tho
Ohio Farmer nnd am pretty certain
that any farmer who haa boon growing
corn, putatoaa or aweet potatoea for a
number of year* cannot agree with him.
Prom my own experience (and that of
other furniers with whom I have con-
veracd on tho aubject), I have found
that where a molo-run la found In a
aweet potato ridge, or In a potato hill,
the potatoea havo departed. Some-
times I have found them partly eaton,
tho surface still freah.
In regard to corn, It la conaldcrod to
ho of little use to plant whore It tins
oran taken by moles, unless cultivation
can commence Immediately, and farm-
*!"* rr®<Pient|y commence cultivation
when they find tho melon at work, be-
fore the corn la up, cultivating deep.
t or aeventeon years ago
i naa « field of corn badly Injured by
moles, in placea nearly all gone, and In
o her places a pretty good stand. I
anew It was of no use to put corn In
tne same places na I could not then
commence plowing, nnd If I waited
much longer the replant would do little
good, so I got a boy to drop two grains
or corn on each of the missing hills,
and a couple of men and myself cov-
®r.e/' 11 by drawing dirt over the hill
with a hoe; the result wns a good field
or corn. I did not see tho moles take
the corn, but wherever the run went
through the hill the corn was missing
and where there was no mole run the
corn grew all right.
I once read In nn agricultural paper
or a man In New York, I believe, buy-
ing moles at five cents apiece *.o put
Into his ground to loosen the earth and
I presume to catch grubs. I never
heard the result of his experience—
his theory was the same as that of Mr.
Cranz. I expect when he undertook
to put his theory into practice he
changed his mind.
Some years ago I was hauling In
corn from the shock; there was over
a foot of snow with a hard crust on It;
I took a hoe to loosen the butts of corn
stalks; in the center of the last Bhock
I found some half dozen cobs, still io
the husks with no corn on them; I
thought a rat had been at work, but
the earth had not been worked up
among the stalks, so I concluded It
had been a rabbit As I was cutting
the tie stalk I saw what I took to be a
rat among the blades, although it
moved rather too slowly for one. 1
gave it a clip with the hoe, when, lo
and behold. It was a mole. That set-
tled the matter, not only with the
mole, but with me, that moles do cat
corn. I went to the barn, unloaded
my corn and put my team away, think-
ing about tbe New York man whose
moles never bothered vegetation, and
who bought up all he could, and
thought that in the spring when the
insectivorous mole was circulating in
the agricultural papers I would give
my experience.
But hold on—the fact iBn't proven.
You don’t know that the mole did eat
the corn; it's only circumstantial evi-
dence. A rat might eat the corn and
the mole Just happened iu after the
mischief was done and It was getting
late In the day, and turning much
colder, and It was quite a distance from
the barn, a deep snow with a heavy
crust to tramp through, I was satisfied
myself, but that didn’t prove it. I
sharpened my knife and waded back,
cut the mole open and fouud its stom-
ach filled with finely ground corn.
A neighbor told me that he had made
a strong decoction of Mayapple root
and soaked corn in it and put in their
run* in the cornfield and thus killed
them. He said the year before a man
who had corn on his farm complained
about a mole taking the corn in one
particular place, that he tried the rem-
edy at his suggestion and the next day
or so after putting the corn In the run,
he plowed out the dead mole. I have
never tried It myself, however.

The turnip la a native growth of
Aala. growing In n wild nnd uneultl
vatrd state In the woods. But cen-
turies ugo It attracted the attention of
the farmer, ond was appropriated. Im-
proved and cultivated, and used for
food for both man and banal, and to-
It bears but slight resemblance to
the original stock. In many parts of
tba world, ond In both cold and tem-
perate ell mates, It la extensively culti-
vated and used for feeding abeep and
oattlo, and alio for tbe table, and I am
thoroughly convinced that If farmer*
would give It more attention, and grow
It moro extensively than heretofore, It
would prove to be quite a valuabl*
crop.
When the soil and season are favor-
able the yield per acre la Immenw.
From 300 to 600 bushels have been
grown on a single acre, and at 20 or
oven 16 rants per bushel, they pay
bettor than corn, wheat or tobaooo.
. Tho Swedish or rutabagas are con-
sidered the best for stock. To Insure
it crop for the approaching fall or win-
ter the soil ahould be partially pre-
pared In March or April. The soil
should be fresh and rich aa posalble,
and thoroughly broken and harrowed
both ways and left until the season for
sowing the seed. From the 1st to the
15th of July la the beat time to eow.
Then tbe rail ahould be broken tbe
eecond time, and harrowed, nnd aeed
sown, provided there I* sufficient mois-
ture to bring them up. l-aat season I
sowed on tbe 16th of July, and for
three successive weeks the weather
was extremely hot and droughty, and
the crop a complete failure. The bet-
ter way la tn wait for moisture, even If
It delays the sowing, for tho seed are
very tendor nnd easily affected by
drought. The quicker and more rapid
the growth the more brittle nnd highly
flavored the turnip, ao much depends
on the aoll and season.
Drills are sometimes used for raw-
ing, but I have generally sown broad-
cast by hand, and If they come too
thick, which they often do, I thin out
with the hoc. If early turnips are de-
sired for marketing they ahould be
sown In March or April, and In the
garden, where they can be cultivated,
which Insures a quick growth.
There Is another advantage In rais-
ing turnips that Is generally over-
looked by farmers; they are an excel-
lent exterminator of the weeds and
leave the soil In excellent condition for
any other crop. Heavy, tough ralla
are not adapted to their growth. They
are but little trouble to keep during th*
winter, as they are not seriously In-
jured by a slight frost.—Journal of
Agriculture.

Last week we had something to say
about cranberries and the soil on which
they could be best grown. The soli
best adapted to the growing of this
fruit is a mixture of sand and muck.
One way to obtain this desired soil is
to haul onto the ground designed for
cranberries large quantities of muck.
After this has decomposed cover it
with fine sand from the beach. In a
few years the two will become incorpo-
rated, making a fine, black, sandy soil.
On ground pre-eminently fitted for the
growing of cranberles the soil rarely
becomes dry except on the surface.
Stagnant water is to be avoided, as it
usually proves fatal. Running brooks In
such a meadow are of value, but they
must be under full control. The
ground must be In such shape that It
can be drained from one to two feet
below the surface. The streams are to
be used for winter flooding and sum-
mer Irrigation. Some people advise
planting vines upon uplands, but such
locations are not advisable. True, the
vines will sometimes live and bear,
but It Is an unusual state of affairs and
should not be encouraged; for Instance,
writers on cranberry growing say that
vines upon dry lands are short-lived
blossoms are blasted, and the fruit is
dwarfed or badly worm eaten, the rav-
ages of the fruit worm being greatest
upon dry soils.
According to the opinions of some
growers, soil heavily Impregnated with
oxide of iron should not be selected.
Nearly all of our readers will readily
recognize such soil by the “Iron rust"
that collects In the little stag-
nant pools. The main objection to
such soil Is that It freezes In a different
manner from most other soils, the Ice
and frozen earth forming long crystals,
and these latter have a tendency to
throw out of the ground the little roots
of the cranberry. It la true that such
lands can be used, but they will need
to be kept flooded In winter, and If by
any reason the water becomes drawn
off, a disaster may follow.
The 8ame objection la urged against
pore muck, as It will heave out the
vines during the freezing and thawing
process, if not covered by water or sand.
One or two inches of sand over the
muck will prevent this. Coarse or
flakey mucks are alio to be avoided, as
they neither retain moisture, nor act as
» capillary sponge to draw op water
in dry seasons. Such rail can be used
only with Irrigation.
Preparing a Swamp.
First dig a draining ditch about two
feet deep lengthwise of the swamp and
wide enough to take all the storm water
that comet. The next move la to re-
I move the turf, which may be some-
times more easily done by first burning
off the dry grass. After the turf has

With less scientific Jargon than usual
lu journals devoted to the medical and
veterinary professions. Prof. Aitken, of
Edinborough, one of the new editors of
the Veterinarian, writes a useful article
in that periodical op "The Importance
of Salt as an Article of Diet." He
draws attention to the fact that In the
blood of animals there 1b six or seven
times as much sodium as potassium,
and that the blood is remarkable among
animal tiBsueS in tbe constancy of its
composition. It is, therefore, necessary
for the proper maintenance of good
health that a certain definite
amount of sodium chloride (common
salt) should be assimilated by the ani-
mal. An excess of potassium salts,
however, is found in certain food sub-
stances, and this renders tbe presence
of salt all the more necessary as an ar-
ticle of diet. A too abundant supply of
potassium eliminates the salt in the
blood to pass as urine. Consequently,
the tissues of the body are called upon
to yield up to the blood the amount of
sodium chloride which it requires to
maintain the composition of the blood
at its normal condition. The craving
of an animal for salt Is most impera-
tive when the diet consists largely of
food very rich in potassium salts, such
as the cereal grains—wheat, barley, and
oats — potatoes, peas, and beans. On
the other hand, when there Is an
excess of salt there is a crav-
ing for water to wash It out in tho ex-
cretions through the kidneys and the
skin. Animals that are given much
salt, and are allowed to quench their
thirst freely, not only pass more urine
than ordinarily, but also sweat more
freely than on more equable diet. Too
much salt throws too much work on the
kidneys, and serious complications may
follow an injudicious quantity supplied.
The pig has few sweat glands by which
to excrete an extra amount of salt.
Those which It possesses are congre-
gated around the snout. These are not
sufficient to eliminate any excess of salt
administered, even with the aid of
healthy action of the kidneys, and
therefore brine poisoning takes place, a
disease not unfamiliar to the owners of
Bwine.
The addition of salt to the ordinary
food of animals does not increase the
digestibility of substances consumed,
but It Increases their appetite, tends to
promote repair of tissue by its search-
ing diffusion through the body, while
It stimulates the rapid “using up” of its
waste products. Experiments made by
Boussingault showed that Balt increases
muscular vigor and activity among
oxen, and improves their general ap-
pearance and condition. Where mus-
cular strength is the object of feeding,
a regular supply of salt improves health
and vigor; thus it is that horses derive
much benefit from partaking of it—es-
pecially when corn and beans form an
important part of their dietary. Fat-
tening oxen should only have as much
salt as will increase their appetite for
food, and so improve their condition.
It should not be given to them too free-
ly, as the more sluggish they are, and
the more inclined to rest, the more rap-
idly will they accumulate wealth of
flesh.
The quantity of salt given to an ox is
a matter of some importance. The
quantity found suitable to give to oxen
feeding on hay, straw, turnips, etc., Is,
says Prof. Aitken, from half an ounce
to one and a half ounces per day for
every 1,000 pounds live weight, but if
food rich in potash salts, such as pota-
toes, corn, beans and peas, Is being fed
to stock, the quantity of salt may be
considerably increased with good ef-
fect—London Live Stock Journal.
