The Waste of LIQUID Manure.

Very few barns or barnyards are so
arranged as to save the liquid manure.
The loss resulting from such want of
proper arrangement is q very serious
one, more than most farmers would inn
agine. In the first place, the quantity
of liquid matter which might be saved
from a pair of horses and a half dozen
COWS amounts to $4,000 pounds yearly.
This is equal to about 10000 which, di-
luted with ar equal quality of water,
would furnish each year dressing of
of 1000 gallons per acre to twenty acres
of land. Fermenting liquid manure
needs this addition of water for the
purpose of retaining the ammonia which
would otherwise pass off and be lost.
The solid matter contained in the above
quantity of liquid is equal to nearly
three tons, and is worth as much as the
best guano. The money value would
therefore be about $200-an amount
that is we'll worth saving. Much less
than this amount would make the
drains and tank required to save
the manure, so that the outlay
would be more than repaid the
first year. Or, if proper absorbents were
freely used, the whole of the liquids
might be saved without any outlay at

Cereal Products of the World.

In view of the recent famine in Per-
sia, it is interesting to know whether
there is any danger that the population
of the earth will ever increase to such
an extent that it will not be able to pro-
duce food enough for them. The report
of Mr.. S. B. Ruggles, of the Information
al Statistic Congress at the Hague,
throws some light on this subject. 1t
seems that in 1869 Europe, with a
population of 296,000,0OO, furnished
4,754, ,516,604 bushels of cereals, or six
teen bushels to each person, while the
United States furnished LAOS, ,449,653
bushels, or sc bushels to each person, a
large proportion, though less by two
bushels than the yield of 1860, when
our production reaches its maximum.
Our crop of Indian corn reached $751;
100000 bushels, that of Europe being
only 392 100000 bushels. On the other
hand, it must be remembered waste
lands are constantly being reclaimed,
and old lands made more fertile by
drainage, fertilizing, and more thor
ough culture. Increased civilization
seems to diminish the rate of increase
of the race, the Dutch being the only
people who keep up to the rate of five
children to every married couple. 1t is
estimated that in the year 1900 our
seventy-fve millions will not only have
cereal food enough for themselves, but
surplus enough to feed 200,000,0O0 of
the people of Europe.

Hens i'm Place of Dogs.

There is hardly family that does not
throw away enough table scraps to keep
at least half dozen hens; and many
that keep a nuisance in the shape of
dog, that does no good, but costs more
than a dozen good hens, complain that
they cannot afford to keep hens. One
dog in neighborhood is generally
greater trouble to the neighbors than a
flock of hens would be, for if hens are
we'll fed at home they will rarely go
away. But who ever saw dog that was
not a pest, running across the newly
made garden, and sticking his nose into
everything. Kill off the ours and give
the food to the hens, and you will find
pleasure as well as profit in so doing:
We wish there was tax of one hundred
dollars on every dog kept in the coun-
try. Those that are of value as watch
dogs could be retained, while the host
of snarling, dirty ours would give place
to some more useful and less trouble
some pet.-Poultry Standard.

Peaches.

just now peaches in New York are
very abundant and cheap. A basket
of good fruit may be bought at from
80 cents to ST.. 1t would be great con-
venience if some smaller and more
convenient packages could be put up.
One does not always want as much as a
basket, which is too large and unhandy
to carry conveniently. Packages con-
tanning a peck or so, that could be
readily taken in the hand, would meet
with ready sale. Neat split baskets
holding about half peck are offered
along the streets and at the fruit stands
at IS cents each, when the ordinary
baskets are selling at the same price.
These small baskets look tempting, as
all the fruit that is visible is very fine,
but we doubt if one buys a basket of
this kind a second time. We have been
quite amused at watching the opera
tions of woman who keeps stand on
Broadway. When she opens a basket
or crate of fruit all the finest specimens
are selected and put aside. Then the
small baskets are filled; first goes in a
generous wad of paper, then the unsala-
BILE and inferior fruit from the stand, l.,
next the second quality of those from
the newly opened basket, and the whole
is topped off with half dozen or so of
the selected peaches. Her boys start
off with these for the ferries and other
places, and offer them as a nice basket
of peaches" AS a general thing these
retailers of fruit are thorough swindlers,
and with all the abundance and cheap
ness of peaches, it is no easy matter for
one to get a small quantity of good
fruit.-HearM and Home.

Pure Water for Cows.

There is no doubt that impure water
has an injurious effect on the flavor of
milk. 1t has been found that the milk
from COWS which were compelled to
drink stagnant water from ponds, when
brought to the cheese factory was taint-
ed, and gave bad flavor to the whole
making of cheese into which it had en-
tered. We have before u a letter from
correspondent in Norway, who speaks
of the i'll effects resulting from permit
ting COWS to feed on the litter thrown
out from horse stables a practice too
common in that country. Not only was
the milk tainted, but the butter and
cheese made therefrom had an unpleas-
ant taste and smell. 1t is well known
that the wild garlic eaten by COWS in
spring, lends it's peculiar flavor to the
milk and butter yielded 10y them. In
fact, nothing can be more sensitive to
ill-favored substances eaten or drunk by
the COWS, than is the milk or butter.
The use of stagnant or impure water
should then be scrupulously avoided,
and if no other source of pure water is
possible, sufficient quantity should be
pumped for COWS twice day at least
There is no more striking illustration of
the facts above noted, than the unpleas-
ant taste of milk from COWS fed on the
waste OF distilleries, experienced by one
used to the milk of farm and obliged
to soourn in city.-Heorth and Home.

PlOWing.

1t should be a rule that the traces TO
the gears of the team should be as short
as possible, without impeding the step
of the horses, for the nearer they are to
the point of the draft, the less force will
be required to draw the plow. The
tallest horse should walk in the furrow,
to keep the double-tree as level as pos
sible, and the team must be kept going
at as regular and smart gait as the ma
ture of the work will admit; they are
thus better managed, and the draft will
be lighter than if walking slow, and, by
due attention to this particular, heavy
soil will cling less to the plow, and the
operation will seem pleasant and free.
There is a certain tact in plowing, as
we'll as many other things--a sort of
tact acquired by instinct; and a slight
movement of the hands will keep the
plow right, while a swerving, clumsy
plowman, without perception, will be
constantly ly letting the plow, with every
unsteady movement of the horses, run
out and into land, and make bad work.

Our Lakes.

Apropos of our lakes, a correspondent
of the New York San sends a very en-.
ticing picture to that journal:
The air is magical and man is happy.
Every day is inspiring, and the delight
of nothing to do perfect. The ther-
mometer averages from fifty to sixty de-
grees, and this for six days between
Buffalo and Duluth. Of all the lakes,
Huron presents the grandest water
scapes, Superior the noblest shores and
most beautiful islands.
In Superior the genuine brook trout
is taken about the rocks on the shores,
where the water is ten feet deep or
more. This is made possible by the
GOODNESS of the water. Its temperature
never rises much above that of ice wa
ter in any part of the lake. Expert
enced an glers have taken there trout
weighing six and seven pounds. They
are caught with bait only, and will not
rise to fly. This, we repeat, is the
speckled brook trout. That lordly fish
is taken by trolling, and is often of the
weight of thirty or forty pounds.
Running the rapids of the Sault Ste'
Marie, with Indians, in birch bark ca
noe, is an orthodox pleasure, and much
commended. 1t is brief, and there is
no danger in it. Ladies may try it with
entire confidence.
The finest scenery is about Thunder
bay, on the British shore Of Lake Su
perior. Thunder cape, precipitous
cliff of red rock, thirteen hundred feet
high and a mile and a half long, stands
on the eastern side of the entrance
while numbers of islands, some lofty
and fiat rooted, others low and round
and all of them wooded, are scattered
along eastward. The outline of Thun
der cape is superb, though it is temper
ed and fringed with trees that break
the level of its long summit. At even
ing its beauty is indescribable. The
setting sun flooded the mountain ano
the islands with golden light such az
Clifford loves to paint, and the clouds
and sky overhead were such as none
but Turner could attempt. Such del
uge of glory The gray expanse OF wa
ter and the purple shadowed sides o
hills and islands, darkening as the da.
faded into the solemn twilight, were th'
setting of the picture.

Weed Seeds.

The seeds of cookie, chess, and other
weeds that are mixed with the screen
ings from the tanning mill, should be
carefully prevented from getting mixed
with the manure in the barn-yard. We
once permitted a neighbor to run a few
bags of grain through our tanning mill,
and gave him the run of the barn for
that purpose. When he had finished,
and during our absence, he-doubtless
with good ntentions-scattered the
screenings all over the barn-yard, so
that the towels might get the waste
grain. This probably was intended as
sort of recompense for the use of the
mill. Alas we never regretted more
than on this occasion the doing of fa-
vor that resulted badly for ourselves.
Our manure pile was thoroughly seeded
with cookie and chess, and probably ten
years of labor will be inflicted on us be-
| fore those seeds can be eradicated from
the field on which the manure was
spread. We mention this circumstance
| as warning to others, and also as a
| forcible reminder to all that weed seeds
should be consumed with fire and utter
lv DESTROYED. Don't feed them to poul-
try-they won't eat cookie; and the
seeds seem to last forever; by hook OF
by crook they will get into the field
somehow. Put them in a stove and
YOU will have seen the last of them.-

THE census establishes the fact that
the petite culture, or small farming,
has made rapid encroachments during
the past decade upon the boundaries OF
large farms, and the system. OF mixed
busbandry in the vicinity of our large
cities. The production of poultry,
eggs, milk, small fruits, vegetables, &C.,
can be successfully engaged in upon
small parcels of land, and with limited
means in the neighborhood of good
market, and the number who have
within the past few years embarked in
this business is greater than has been
generally supposed.
