Comparative Value of Hay, Corn and Roots

An acre Of ground retained expressly for
hay, yields on an average not more than one
and one-half tons Of vegetable food an
equal space planted with carrots or ruta-bagas,
will yield from ten to twenty tons, say fifteen
tons, which is by no means a high average,
and has often been attained without any ex-
traordinary cultivation, 1t has been ascer-
tanned by careful experiment, that three
working horses, fifteen and one-half hands
high, consumed hay at the rate Of two hun
bred pounds per week, or five tons and one
thousand and lorty-eight pounds per annum.
BY repetition Of the same experiment it
was found that an unworkod horse consumed
hay at the rate of four aud one quarter tons
/ per annum The produce therefore, Of near
| ly six acres Of land is necessary to support a
working horse for one year but half au acre
Of carrots at six hundred bushels per acre
with the addition Of chopped straw, while the
season for feeding them lasts, will do as well
if not better These things do not admit o
doubt, for they have been the subject Of ex
act trials, as some of your agricultural iriend
can testify
1t has also been proved that the value o
one bushel of corn, together with the fodde
e upon which it grew, will keep horse in goo
working order for week. An acre plante
with corn, and yielding sixty bushels, will b
ample 10 keep good sized horse in workin

To Fatten Chickens.

1t is hopeless to attempt to iatten them
while they are at liberty. They must be put
in proper coop and this, ike most other
poultry appurtenances, need not be expensive.
To tatten twelve fowls, a coop may be twelve
feet long, eighteen inches high and eighteen
inches deep, made entirely Of bars No part
solid-neither top, sides, nor bottom bis
erection must be used according to the sizes Of
the chickens put up. They do not want
room indeed, the closer they are, the better
provided they can all stand up at the same
time. Care must be taken to put up such as
have been accustomed to be together, or they
will fight If one is quarresome, it is better
TO ren5ye it at once as, like other bad ox-
amples, il soon finds imitators. A diseased
chicken should not be put up. The food
should be ground oats, and may either be put
up in trough, or on fiat board running
along the front Of the coop. 1t may be mixed
with water or milk the latter is tho bet.
ter Ii should be well soaked, forming a
pulp as loose as can be, provided it does not
run of the board. They must be well fed
three or four times a day the first time as
soon after daybreak as may be possible or
convenient, aud then at intervals OF four hours.
Each meal should be as much and no more
than they can eat up clean. When they have
done feeding, the board should be wiped, and
some gravel may be spread. 1t causes them
TO feed aud tbriye.-Cottage Gardener.

Storing Potatoes.


The following remarks are from the Prai-
RTE Farmer, and will prove timely just now
Experience has proved to every potato
raiser that the practice Of digging them in the
morning and leaving them on the ground, OK
posed to the heat of the sun during the day,
is very injurious one.
In some sections Of lrclond the custom pre-
walls Of putting the potatoes into covered
top Immediately after they are dug. The
dryer the atmosphere is, and the colder-pro.
viding it is above the freezing point-the bet
ter it will be for keeping potatoes. lfplaced
in such an atmosphere they will show no ten
dency to sprout or rot for years nor can they
be distinguished from freshly dug potatoes
All changes Of temperature or Of the degrc,
Of moisture are uniayorable to the keeping o
potatoes. A very good method of keepin
them in small quantities for family use, is /,
assert them into barrels, fill the inierstiee
with sun-dried sand and then cover the top
Of the barrels with nicely flied turls.
kept in this manner they are not likely I
become shryeed aud will retain the fresh
-uess otsee-raly dug potatoes tiA late ia ia
season after they are dug. They will ais
show very little disposition to sprout. Farm
ers who live in the vicinity Of sand ban
will probably find it viii pay TO excayatc
suitable space in it for storing potatoes, an
to secure it from oaying in by means Of
rude box. In some portions Of New Englai
potatoes are stored in this way even by iarI
ers who have good cellars,

TO Cure and Smoke Bacon.

At this season Of the year, all our farmers
are preparing to salt their hams and bacon,
so we propose to give them recipe whereby
sailing and smoking can be done in one SIM
pie and short process Many of our house,
wives have to depend upon their neighbors
for conyeniences to smoke with Those Of us
who own smoke-houses know how difficult It
is to smoke just right. by this process an
trouble is avoided. Take large-siaed butter
frkiu cask or barrel, according to the guam
tity Of meat you desire to smoke Place il
over fire of corn-cobs with the corn on
Meat smoked in this way is higher favored
the corn seeming to produce better taste
than cobs, or wood or green walnuts Lei
the tub smoke from five to six hours. TC
one hundred pounds Of meat take eight
pounds Of salt, two pounds of coarse BROW
sugar Tor three pints of moasses), and two
ounces Of saltpeter Rub a little fine sail
into the hams and shoulders then put the
meat into the smoke tub, cover it with cold
water turn in the salt, sugar, and saltpeter
cover closely, and set in a cool place where i
will not freeze If scum rises on the brine
turn it of, scad and add little more salt
If desired to keep through the summer, in tn,
carly spring smoke the tub three hours Ion
ger, put back the meat and turn on the brin,
when cold.
In month after picking, the hams will b,
ready to use. They can be kept in the brin,
all summer, aud if ham is cut, return il /,
the tub for further use.
Beef and tongues eau be kept in the same
manner, and there is no danger from insects
la six or seven weeks the beef IL picked anC
smoked enough to dry, This is the surcs

Winter Care of Poultry.

." \ practical farmer contribute, TO tho
Rural American some very practical ugges-
lions suited 70 the season, on the above SUBJ
ject The first and most important rolui-
site in the keeping Of poultry ia winter IS o
good hennery. Fowls may do very well
through the summer, if allowed 20 roo-t in
trees or wherever their fancy leads them, and
will generally keep out of danger from vor-
min, and be moro healthy than if kept close
ly confined but when the season of iro,ts
and snow storms arrives, some provision must
be made for them, else they will seek the VIE
entity Of the cattle, and most likely make
them lousy or they will seek the shelter of
the shed and besmear with their filth the wng-
ons harness and blankets. Kept in this way,
without any local habitaton or systematic
care, no variety Of breed of fowls will pay
for their keeping, A poultry house, then, we
must regard as first necessity, whether we
keep half dozen fowls to supply the table
with eggs, or hundreds loT the market. y
small house can best be built along the south
side of stone wall, or other equivalent pro-
lection. There need then be but one slant TO
the roof but if the front is also somewhat
slanted and glazed, YOU have place so warm

Cooking Feed.

Aner alluding to the fact that most Wes-
tern farmers who have tried cooking feed for
stock. praise the plan and then quit II, corr
respondent of the St. Louis JurHai Of Agrj-
culture says the reason probably is that far
mers generally try TO cook in @ kettle, and
great attention is necessary to prevent burn
ing the bottom. A stcamng apparatus is too
expensive. lie has tried steamiug corn with
q false bottom, and it does not answer at ALL
lie believes il may bo done economically by
the use of hot water. which hc says contains
sufficient heat to cook anything placed in it,
provided this heat can bee confined and not al
loved TO escape He continues, ALLOW me
