of it next spring and Institute a con-
parison by comparing results of ono
kind of treatment with the other.
With hardly; an exception in tbe
whole line of agricultural products,
universal experience has proven that
cultivation is essential to the hest pos
sible results. General analogy would
be sufficient of itself to suggest the ben
eficial result of tillugo upplied to j
wheat, but the inattei has not been left j
to analogical inference. Many experi- I
ments have been made by thoroughly,
cultivating the crop, when so planUd,
as to make it possible and with won
derful remits as td increase of product ;
but in addition (o that, the practice of j
giving wheat a thorough harrowing in
the spring has come to be .quite gener
al in many localities. The best harrow
for the purpose will probably be a
"smoothing" one, but any barrow not
having too large teeth will answer.
Of course a few plaits will be jerked
out by the roots, but the smal.'ness'of
the number of such will be remarkable.
The Iohr by this will not begin to ofl
set the gain mad a by loosening the soil,
so as to give the roots a chance to pen
etrati the greatest possible diaUm-e.
Then, too, the benefit from preserving
moisture in tbe soil, by this loosening
of tbe surface, may be great in case of a
drontb about the time tbe grain begins to
fill. Tbe packing proea by the contin
nal (all uf rains for seven rooothi makes
tbe wheat field a pretty solitl s trface
by the time the plant begins fairly to
grow in the spring. In addition to the
good it does tbe wheat, ibis harrowlog
also very greatly aid- in getting good
eaten of clover or grass teed. Where
the fields are seeded dona barrow log
for this purpose aiooe more than pays
for tbe trouble. It is always beat, if

The Importance of fully stocking tho
farm is well understood in these days
f advanced agriculture ; but theronre
two extremes lo ever; question, and it
is a truth that it Is heller to go lo tbe
extreme of net having cmugli live
stock on the farm than to go .to the
other extTPino of having more than the
farm can lake enro of. Of course .the
light thing lo do is to havo the ,ieper " m only heroines
amount ; but this is not always so easi
ly determined. Only such stock should
be kept as cnu ho maintained in good
condition, so that they lose nothing
either iu summer or winter. When
the grass nn the farm fails in, summer
or the hay or the graiu in winter, some
of the slock should be sold or more
Teed bought. It will not be profitable
to stint the stock so, a lo inako ibo
supply of luiy and graiu last until the
cr?ps following cau bo hm vested.
Iu order to secure the most profit
from Ibe stock and the farm, n steady
gain must be made, and every day that
we fall lo do this an Indirect lots Is sus
tained, which'must he made up in the
future. Plenty ot good wholesome
fnod must be glvcu regulurly, every
lay, to maintain a daily growth. Such
a stemty gain 1 raucb belter than tbe
rapid gain which frequently comes to
the animals during tbe favorable spring
season, when the grasses are rich and
j ti icy, Such a gain will not be so prom
inent if the auimals have bean growing
through the wlutcr ; but If they Lave
been stinted during the C'jld months,
loaing flesh gradually, barely maintain
ing their own, they will oftentimes gain
so rapidly when first turned oat lo pas
ture, that tbetf health is' endangered.
A steady but rapid growth is usually
desirable for stock animals,
Only such a number tit animal
should be kept on the farm as will
keep the pasture grass cut tborl during
tbe best portion of tbe growing season,
then in the fall, calculate bow many
animals tbe bay anil grain will feed
until next year's crop 1 harvested and
make arrangtnenls accordingly. The

Dec. 23 to April 21 at an average of
C3.5 degs., consuming four tons and 1,
153 pound t of coal. The steam holler

Tlie empress of Austria is the best

as thoroughly acquainted with the de!-,
tails of tbe imperial Austrian kitchen
as her husband is with the details of
the imperial Austrian government
She superintends tbe household af- -fairs
of the big palace at the Austrian! -capital
with the greatest care. She re
ceives personally, reads and acts upon - -reports
from cooks, butlers, keepers .
of tbe plate and keepers of the linen.
Cooking devices which have becsne in--convenient
or antiquated are abolished
only at her command. New methods
of preparing or serving food are
adopted ouJyat ber suggestion
Changes in the personnel of the estab

tbe bluest blood of Austria is cooked !

ments at each end for preparing fish,
fowl and beast for the table. Fifty -chickens
can be cooked at once on one
of tbe big whirling spits. Against the .
side walls from floor to ceiling stand :
scores and scores of chafing dishes.
In these dishes, all of which are self

' Americans here are misled by the
word "cafe." . In America a cafe may
be anything from a Bowery beer sa
loon to a first class restaurant. Most
Americans who visit Paris for the first
time think the cafes are restaurants
pure and simple. In this they make
a big mistake. You can got a good
breakfast or dinner, but you are not
likely to patronize them for a second
time. An American was seen in one
of them the other day looking; with
horror at bis bill for' dinner. It was
twice as high as it would have been in
an ordinary restaurant. The Ameri
can thought he had been swindled,
but 1tad not. Beefsteaks and chops
and tbe like are served in these place
for accommodation mainly, and if
people want them they have to pay
high for Ibem. But some of the cafes
on the Boulevard are splendid affairs.
At the Cuf de la Kegence, at tbe foot
of the Avenue de l0era and the Rue
de Richelieu, you will get good colfee
for 10 cents per cup. You can give
tbe waiter a few centimes and he wilt
be satisfied. This cafe is the head
