all who desire them. Send in your lists of 
names, and we will mail copies at once. You 
may then cal' and solicit subscriptions. Re¬ 
member the ?2.800 worth of presents to those 
who send us the largest clubs. Our supple¬ 
ment of Nov 8 will explain everything fully. 
Certain experiences tend to unsettle the 
value of silage for milch cows, says Prof. 
Arnold in the N. Y. Tribune. 
The Germantown Telegraph has proven the 
efficiency of the following recipe for salting 
beef, through a number of years: ‘‘For 100 
pounds,take four quarts Liverpool flue salt,four 
ounces saltpeterand four poundsbrown sugar. 
Mix intimately, and when the meat is packed, 
which should be closely, sprinkle the mixture 
evenly over the layers. Keep the meat closely 
pressed together by weight. The sugar and 
salt, with the juices of the meat, make all the 
brine that is necessary,”.. 
Among the novelties in flowers introduced 
within two or three years, the Clematis coc- 
cinea or Coral Clematis has come to stay. 
The flowers are bell-shaped and of a rich 
scarlet color borne in profusion nearly all 
Summer....... 
The prettiest bardv grass, as we have said 
many times, is either the transverse or longi¬ 
tudinal striped Eulalia called, respectively 
Eulalia Japonica zebrina and E. J. varie- 
gata. Pray try them. They are very hardy 
and will thrive almost anywhere. 
Mr. Thorpe calls the chrysanthemum “the 
Queen of Autumn''. 
Some claim that the King Humbert is 
merely a strain of the old Pear-shaped Toma¬ 
to We shall see.. 
For pickles, try the Red Cherry, Yellow 
Cherry. Red Currant and Strawberry or Al- 
kekengi Tomatoes. For preserves, the last 
mentioned is excellent. They should be 
picked as they ripen and stored in a cool 
place. The Strawberry Tomato will keep 
better with the pods uot removed. 
Tomato seeds should now be started at once 
Those who followed our advice and planted 
earlier should transplant as soon as the seed¬ 
lings are four inches high. It will do no 
harm to pinch out the leading shoot. 
For spring, we may best sow seeds of the 
White Strap-leaf Flat, Early Dutch, Early 
Purple-top Munich and Early Soow ball Tur¬ 
nips. Sow as early as the land can be fitted.. 
There is nothing better for sowing seeds in 
than shallow boxes, say "i'4 inches deep. The 
soil should be an aerated, sandy loam. Some 
recommend mixing fine charcoal with it. We 
do not approve of having the soil very rich 
unless the boxes, after the seeds start, can be 
given plenty of suu. There is no better soil 
for seeds than that made of old, decayed sods 
with a liberal admixture of clean sand. 
A GRAPE-VINE, or a dozen, a few raspberry; 
blackberry, currant and gooseberry bushes; a 
strawberry patch. Have you these, Rural 
readers, every one? Were we to visit any old 
reader and fiud neither the one nor the other, 
we should feel we had not written and worked 
very effectually.... 
The Ceutury says that eccentricity at best 
is but a fungus, just as apt to grow out of the 
soil of a philosopher as of a fool. 
One's own horn is a most delicate instru¬ 
ment to blow. 
Subscribers are requested to send us plans 
of out-buildings or labor-saving contrivances 
of any kind. A simple sketch is all we re¬ 
quire from which to make engravings. Pno- 
tographs of farm buildings will euable us to 
reproduce the pictures with perfect accuracy 
and of any desired size..... 
The new rose, William Francis Rennet, ue 
cordiug to advertisements, is simply perfec¬ 
tion. Mr. llalloek, of the firm of Uulloek, 
Son & Thorpe, of Queens, Long Island, N. Y , 
describes it astberud Niphetos; the improved 
Jacqueminot and the scarlet ever-floweriug, 
all of which, he says, fail to give but a faiut 
idea of its great, beauty. The growth of the 
plant is said to be vigorous, the foliage ample. 
The flowers are produced on every shoot, 
while the perfume is as sweet as a Bon Sileue 
with the rrngraucu of the Jack. It is further 
said to be as hardy as Hermosa, which is a 
Bourbon, and hardy, with protection, iu this 
climate .... 
All things considered, the Pride of the 
North or Queen of the Prairio (they ure the 
same) is the best yellow dent corn, its earli¬ 
ness considered. 
The Rural lust year tried six unnamed 
kinds of oats and also Little Hulless, Avoine 
de Californica (from Vllmoriu & Co., Paris), 
Black Belgian, Probsteier, three kinds front 
Germany, Challenger, Welcome, Australian, 
Short Fly-foot, Race-horse and American 
Triumph. The Race-horse, and Austmliau.or 
Welcome, were the best early; the Triumph 
the best late ... 
A writer iu the Western Farmer thinks 
that the Mass. Ag. College has become a traiu- 
ng school for literary dudes...

“I MUST DIE TO WIN.” 
This is a common expression, one used perhaps 
more frequently in connection with Life Insurance, 
a« an objection to the ordinary life plan. -It t« an 
excellent form of provision for the famllv.hnt I must 
die to win." 
YOU MAY LIVE AND WIN. 
This refer, to the Endowment PltiD. which meets 
the above objection. Take, for instance, a policy pay¬ 
able >o your-elf in, 15, or ZD year- h^nee. Say vou die 
bpfore the termination of the period, ymir family 
win. You survive the period, the policy becomes 
at once a provision for your own advancing vears
