How to feed Cows in the Fall.

The Buffalo Lice Stock Journal says corn
aud oats mixed half and battle-ground fine
and fed in the form of slop, three to four
quarts to each COW per day will cause good
flow of rich milk and pay the whole expense
in the extra condition of the COW. Corn meal
alone is not the best ilk-producing food, as
it contains too much starch or carbonaceous
matter, and is thus better for fattening, We
would not condemn corn meal, but would ad-
wise its use where it is more easily obtained,
yet if the best result is expected, it should
be mixed with cut hay, corn stalks or other
coarse food. We believe that feeding corn
meal alone and dry to COWS, has often pro-
duccd garget and many stomach diseases.
We see reported in the Practical Farmer au
experiment by Benjamin Sharpless, in feed
ing wheat bran to COWS in July while on good
pasture, TO ascertain whether the increase il
milk made it pay. Cow No. | had been Civ
ing milk two hundred days, and on six cents
worth of bran gained five and a-half pounds
Of milk, worth eight cents profit, two cents
per day. Cow No. had lately come in, and
on six cents worth of feed gained seven and
a-half pounds, worth ten and seven-eights
cents--proft, four and seyon-eighths cents.
When the bran was doubled No. being so
far from calying did not pay. No, 2 showed
profit of two and a.half cents per day but
it was evident that so much feed was not
profitable in addition to good pasture, 1t
will readily be seen that if six cents worth of
bran could be fed at profit on good pasture
in July, it must pay literally fed on short
pasture in the fall

have never lost tree planted in the fall.
But before planting carefully prepare your
ground and beds where you intend to plant
trees. Ascertain how many trees are wanted
Then determine the kinds of fruit you desire
lfwithin reasonable distance Of a nursery
take your man and team, and select such
trees as you want, and see them carefully dug
out, cover up the roots, and the next day
oversee them planted out. Trees set in the
fall, especially if exposed TO winds, should be
staked.) Downing's or Thomass books on
fruit trees should be carefully consulted.
If a person has q hundred or more trees he
wishes to set out, it will pay him to make the
journey to Geneva or Rochester, and there
select and see the trees taken up and packed.
lftroubled with mice, put strip Of tarred
paper Of 6 or inches width around the bot
tom of the trunk. 1t will not keep out
borers, but it is perfect defence against mice
or rabbits
| have seen some very fine fruit trees most
barbarously abused by persons who pretended
to know how to trim them, but did not know
the first principle connected with proper trim
ming. Every owner of an orchard shoulC
make this study. If he has not time t.
trim himself, he can teach others. 1t requir
es judgment and skill to trim properly frui
or ornamental tree. If | we're setting ou
fruit trees on a new place, would plant then
all in one orchard and ever after cultivat,
between them, keeping the trees free from
grass or weeds, setting them at such dis
lance apart that small pillow or cultiyato
could easily be worked through them two o

turn it in with plow cultivator. notic

fruit trees are carefully cultivated with tn,

Let me impress on your readers the import
ance of carefully planting out trees-that tel
trees well set out will be worth more than
hundred badly planted. Many new beginners
as well as old workers, plant their trees to,
deep. This should be carefully guarde,

Culture OF Fruit Trees.

In the recent admirable address Of Pres-
dent Wilder at Richmond, Virginia, before
the American Pathological Society, we per-
ceiye that he fully sustains, as the result Of
continued experience, the importance Of good
clean culture, as opposed to the oldpractce OF
allowing young orchards to grow to grass. lie
remarks, "it seems scarcely necessary in this
presence to say that thorough preparation and
enrichment Of such soils as are not already
rich, is essential. Ordinary farm culture
will not produce the highest class Of fruits !;
they must have garden culture, and with this
they never fail. After this thorough preparation
the cleaner the culture the better, at least in the
older States, where the soils have been de-
pleted by cropping" This is the practice
which we have repeatedly urged, especially
for young orchards, for more than thirty
years yet even now, many fine newly set
young orchards are injured or ruined by be-
ing set out aud allowed to stand in grass
There are a few instances at the east, and
frequent ones at the west, where the soils
are so rich naturally that after few years
growth it is well to check the luxuriance by
seeding to grass-always observing as a
guide or index in the course Of treatment to
be adopted the length Of growth Of the an.
nual shoots. This index serves as a better
guide than all the disguisitions and argu'

Storing Winter Apples.

A correspondent of Laws of Life, who
eddy of the opinion that apples keep far bet.
ter when put into close boxes or barrels, and
secluded as much as possible from the air
When thus stored, he says they will come out
in the spring, full and plump as when taken
from the tree. Many varieties, as the Tai.
man Sweet, Spitzenberg, and those kinds that
are not considered as long keepers and shriyel
badly, will do well treated in this way. /
have, he continues, found universally that
they kept better to let them lie without pick
ing over. 1t is much better to pile them into
large bin across the cellar, say six or seven
feet wide, and cover them up tight, than to
lay them on shelves. once saw such bin
that man had kept through the winter
About the first of April he thought he would
open the window on the side Of the cellar next
to the bin to let in the air, that they might
keep better was at his place, and he called
my attention to the fact Two windows over
the bin were opened about ten days or two
weeks, and Of the apples exactly opposite the
windows, about one-third rotted for as much
as foot in depth, and the remaining part on
either side were not rotted at all. Another
instance; A neighbor Of mine had about five
hundred bushels in pile in cellar. A:
they became little specked he commenced
picking them over when about half done, he
got tired and concluded to let them go. When
marketed about six weeks after, he found that
one-third Of those picked over were not 6t
for market, while all but one-twentieth of the
others were good This have seen in nu.
merous instances. II you wish to try the
experiment, make box as tight as a carpen.
ter can make it, and when packing from the
orchard, fill it and nail it fast. Let it lie il

How to Fatten Chickens.

1t is hopeless to attempt to iatten chickens
while they are at liberty. They must be put
in proper coop; and this, like most other
poultry appurtenanccs, need not be expensive.
To iatten twelve fowls, Il coop may be three
feet long, eighteen inches high and eighteen
inches wide, made entirely OF bars. No part
solid-neither top, sides nor bottom. Dis
erection must be used according to the size 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 rs

will fight. If one is quarrelsome it is better
to remove il at once as like other bad ex-
ampes, it soon finds imitators. \ diseased
chicken should not be put up. The food
should be ground oats; and may either be
put up on trough or on fiat board running
along the front of the coop. 1t may be mixed
with water or milk--the latter is the better.
1t should be well soaked, forming 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 possible or convenient, and then
at intervals Of four hours. Each mea
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 tC
feed and thrive After fortnight Of thi
treatment you will have good fat fowls If
however, there are but five or six to be iatted
they must not have rs much room as thougl
there were twelve. Nothing is easier thai

l
Many readers will get a useful hint from
the following facts, given to the American
AgricAtwia by a reliable gentleman, we'll
known to the editor, but who wishes not to
have his name in print
Eleven years ago bought field that was
somewhat wet in spots, not little rough with
stumps and bushes, and quite stony With
hard ploughing much hocing and cpltiyating,
part of it yielded 81 bushels Of corn per
acre, and part Of it 81 bushels Of potatoes.
Failing to bargain for an adjoining piece Of
| ground as | expected, ! thought to put the
money out at interest but guided by sug-
gestiye item in your paper hired a lot OF
men Just discharged from railroad, and set
them to work with spades. The roots and
brush we burned The larger stones We sunk
in holes dug under them. The smaller ones,
all that could be handled, we sunk in large
drains, dug every 25 feet, feet deep, and
filed up p feet with the stones. Where
stones were lacking we filled out the drains
with drain tiles. We spaded the whole piece
over two feet deep, keeping the best soil on
top, digging in twenty-five two-horso wagon
loads Of manure pretty deeply, and picking
out every stone as large as hens egg. This
whole work cost s 80 per acre, aud all the
neighbors called me foolish wasting money
that would have brought me per cent ln-
deed borrowed some money az that rate TO
finish my job. The whole field was as fine
aud mellow as an ash-hcap or onion bed and
you could thrust cane down into it two feet
deep any where Now for the result For
ten years past part Of that lot has given
me an average Of rs bushel. Of corn per acre
sold at an average Of So cents per bushel-
or ~ bushels more per acre than ! could pos
sibly have obtained as it was originally. IL
/ is like cutiyatiDg any other garden plot. 1t
costs no more for manure, for seed, for plant
/ ing and working, and the extra stalks have
doubly paid for the handling Of the extra
/ ~ bushels of corn. So | have had annually
AZ bushels of corn extra, S3c. per bushel,
or s3i Sc annual interest on the outlay Of
slS5 at frst-equal to over Isl per cent,
instead Of per cent. for the money borrowed
Part Of the same ground, when in potatoes,
has yielded as high as 90 per cent interest
per annum, and more. Indeed, though
can not give all the figures, | am sure that
on all the crops, taken together, / have got
my original investment fully back once in
three years From this experience, and 9th.
ers like it for shorter period, | can fully
subscribe to the Oft repeated doctrine that
most farmers would make great deal Of
money by selling half their land aud putting
the avails into the other half, if indeed il
would not pay to sell two.thirds.

Value OF Muck.

In a discussion before the Little Falls
Club, Mr.. A. L. Fish stated that twelve years
ago he drew out 5000 loads Of muck, and ap-
piled II at the rate Of fifty loads to the acre,
pulyerizing and mixing it with the soil. The
result was good crops without further cnlti-
walton. Two years later he drew out 1000
loads, and applied it at the rate of 100 loads
to the acre, spread with plank to which was
attached a tongue to hitch the team. The
land was planted to corn. After taking two
crops from the land it was pat down in the
meadow, and it has produced at the rate of
two tons OF hay per acre ever since, though
before the application it did not yield one ton
per acre. y aid not act so quickly as ma

Value of Corn Fodder.

The Department of Agriculture has just
issued statement presenting long line Of
testimony from various sources on the value
of fodder corn as supplementary feed or
soiling crop for mich cows in summer. We
present below the conclusions deduced from
the testimony given
l. Green corn-foddcr is neither worthless
nor the poorest Of all soiing material.
2. 1t is the best when planted in drills or
hills, not so thickly as to prevent normal
growth and development cultivated to destroy
weeds and grasses, and cut between tasselling
and caring when the elements elaborated for
production Of the car are stored in readiness
for immediate use.
3. 1t is probable. both from the rationale
Of the case and from facts presented above,
that in the more northern ATTITUDES q mistake
has often been made in sowing thcky south
cru corn which cannot mature, the fodder
from which fed in August must be very near
ly worthless On the contrary, the fodder
from northern corn, especially sweet corn
drilled and cultivated, and fed just before
caring, is found to be very valuable
4. Its value, compared with lucerne, mil
let, the best grasses, and other plants contain
ing larger percentage Of nutriment, taking
into consideration the quantity produced aud
the cost Of its production, has not been de-
termined fully, and should be decided by
series Of thorough and exhaustive expert
ments.
Il is evident from all that is conflicting in
the opinion of different feeders, that the diff
ferences are mainly due to the degree of ma
turity or soundness Of the corn That from thick
sowing is immature, colorless and watery,
and unfit to place before the cows Of any well
regulated dairy. 1t is probable that half that
is fed is either improperly cultivated or in a
state Of growth not productive of the high
est results. If this should be the case, how
stupid to condemn the maize for the iguor-
ance of the cutivator. If it is found to con-
tain too little nutriment for its bulk, or too
small an amount of the flesh forming element,
the suggestion found in the practice of some,
Of giving small amount Of more highly
concentrated nutriment in connection with
corn fodder, is eminently wise. This is de-
fciency easily remodied. While corn is our
national crop, less fastidious in the circum-
stances of its growth than almost any other,
and capable Of yielding so largely under the
proverbial neglect which characterizes our
culture let not this fodder be discarded until
something Of greater practical value is found,
the superiority of which has been actual
ly demonstrated under local circumstances Of
soil, climate and cultivation.
