The Cattle Defamation.

1t is doubtful if Il million of dollars will
cover all the losses of horses, cattle, and
sheep this winter in California, if we in
clude owners who reside here but have
cattle interests in Nevada. These losses
have occurred from a pasture famine, and
from cold and long continued storms. The
per cent. of losses is very large. espec-
iallv among cattle which were very thin
in the fall, and were therefore in no condi-
ton to be carried through cold wintner.
Even at this late date, the grass is not
abundant enough to carry the cattle along.
When the long rain-sto come they get
down and never get up again. We have
no accurate data of losses in this state
but putting together such accounts rs have
been gathered from Il large number of dis
tricts, the losses Of cattle can not be less
than 30 per cent, while it is somewhat les
for sheep; the latter have more personal
care, although, generally, no extra feed Ct
shelter in the winter season

q The following directions for grating
are given by S. w. Cole, in his Fruit Book:
"Saw off the stock with fine saw and
pare smoothly with sharp knife; then
split the stock with the grating knife. and
open il with the wedge on the same. Or u
common knife and a wooden wedge may
be used. Sharpen the scion on both sides
with a straight scarf like II wedge; let the
scarf be about one and one-half inches
long, more or less, according to the size of
the scion and the splitting of the stock,
making the scarf of the scion as long as it
can be conveniently fitted to the stock. 1t
is best for the stock to cover, or almost
cover the scarfs on the scion. The outer
part of the scion should be slightly thicker
TO make a close fit there. Leave two buds
on the scion, setting the lower bud just
below the top of the stock. Adjust the
scion SO that the joint between the bark
and wood, in the stock and scion, will ex-
actly correspond; this is important, as that
is the place of union between them. This
done, withdraw the wedge and apply the
cement OF clay. In cutting seions, reject
the butt. as the buds start reluctantly or
not at all, and reject the top also, az it is
too soft or may be winter killed.
Grating large trees should generally
be done gradually, occupying two or three
years, according to the size of the tree
and manner of grating. Graft the top
first. as scions at the bottom will not grow
well while overspread by large branches.
Leave twigs and shoots on the limbs to
sustain the limb till the scons grow, and
then remove them gradually, but perhaps
not till the second year. Many an orchard
of large trees has been ruined by cutting
off all the top at once, in grating, expos
ing the trunk and branches to the hot sun,
and giving sudden check to the growth
and life of the tree. But if the limbs are
all cut off and grated at once, toward
their extremities, say where only an inch
in diameter, and numerous twigs and little
limbs are left, then the tree does not feel a
shock us the twigs and numerous cions
soon form Il good supply of foliage; and as
the latter grow, the former are removed.
Or graft limbs enough for Il new top
where not very large, aadremove the Other
| in a wear o. two, as the sclons supply theli
place.
Never graft an unthrifty tree; 1t is lost
labor. First cultivate, prune and wash
and put it in a vigorous condition..

MANURE FOR PoTAToEs.-An exchang
says the following recipe for raising pota-
toes is worth the price of any paper for
one year, and to any farmer who is short
of manure, it is said to be as good as the
best superphosphate of lime, and will
certainly not cost half as much. 1t has
been tried two years, and is good on dry
land. 1t says:
Take one cask of lime and slack with
water, and then stir in one bushel of fine
salt, and then mix in loan or ashes enough,
so that it will not become mortar; it will
make about five barrels. Put half Il pint
in hill ut planting. All manures con
tanning potash, are particularly suited for
the potato. Ashes contain more than any
natural fertilizer, and should be freely used
and carefully saved.

4 WORD FOR THE EARLY ROSE "A
practical farmer writes to the New York
Tribune Of his experience:
Il have discarded all other varieties for
the Early Rose because this is the earliest,
has the best quality, and is freest from dis
ease of any have tried. This kind sells
always for the highest market price, so
that although it may not yield as many
bushels per acre rs some other kinds, it
will yield more greenbacks. Last season
l raised few Peerless on sandy loan.
When harvested them they were begin
ming to rot, and in four weeks time had
not sound potato left, whereas the Early
Rose, grown in the next row, up to the
present writing, have shown no signs of
rot. Furthermore, after the Early Roses
are dug can raise a crop of turnips or
cabbages, or sow to grass, which cannot
be done after a late growing potato

There are said to be carried off from the
soil nine pounds of lime in twenty-five
bushels of wheat, nine pounds in thirty-fi
bushels of oats, and fifteen pounds in
thirtyfiv bushels of barley. There are
thirty -five pounds of lime in two tons oil
rye grass. one hundred and twenty six
pounds in two tons of clover, and one
hundred and forty pounds in twenty-five
tons of turnips, and two hundred and
seventy pounds in nine tons of potatoes
Some soils contain an abundance of lime
for thousand years, while other soils re-
quirc an occasional application of lime as
a fertilizer.

A scientific writer says that most of the
strong smelling vegetable essences. such
as mint cloves, lavender, lemon, and cher
~ laurel, develop Il very large quantity OF
ozone when in contact with atmospheric
oxygen in light Flowers destitute of per
fume do not develop it, and generally the
amount of ozone seems to be in proportion
to the strength of the perfume emanated.
It's therefore recommended that in marshy
districts, and in places infested with noX-
ious exhalations, strong smelling flowers
should be planted around the houses in
order that the ozone emitted from them
may exert its powerful oxidizing influence
So pleasant u plan for making a maIsr'ous
district salubrious only requires to be
known and put i'll practice

ing him rather than over feeding him.
The point to be aimed at is to keep him
growing He may be fed from two weeks
old At that time, in addition to the milk
from the mare, he should have handful
at frst-of oatmeal or oats, soaked in
sweet cows milk or water. If the mare
does not give much milk this may be grad
ually increased up to two quarts of oat-
meal or oats in few weeks. No corn
should be given to colt at any time, and
all the oats he will eat up clean and with
an eager appetite may be given without
danger. He should be brushed daily, SO as
to keep the skin clean aud free from scurf.
1t is well to have closed stall next to the
mare for the colt, in which he may run
loose when not at pasture.

THE RoLLEK-IIow TO MAKE IT
Experience has taught us some lessons
about making a roller. To make CHEAP
and substantial roller we take two logs
from two to two and Il half feet in diane
ter. according to the weight of the timber
used; saw off each log fhree and a half OIL
four feet long; take them to Il pump shop
and oct a two and Il half or three inch
hole bored through the center of each
Then take four blocks of suitable size, say
three inches thick, five inches wide, and
ten or twelve inches long; let them into
the end of the rails one and a half or two
inches, so they may project IN inch OF
more; bore holes in these the size of the
rod used for the rolls to turn on, and cor
responding with the center of the holes
in the rolls; dress off the projecting part OF
the blocks, except about four inches in the
middle, and f,sten them to their places
with screws.
Make the frame of four inch scantling
consisting of two sides and two end
pieces, and one middle piece, well framed
together; the width being somewhat
greater thar the diameter of the rolls, and
the length such as to give them little
play Bore holes through the middle eft
the cross-peces of the frame, place tho
rolls in frame with an inch ania half
iron rod the whole length of the frame,
and having hole punched near one end
so that bolt may pas through an end
piece of the frame and the rod to prevent
its turning in the frame. Of course the
holes in the wooden boxing must be Il lit
tie larger than the rod on which the rolls
are to turn Bolt the tongue on the top OF
the middle cross-piece, and brace it we'll
with iron braces fastened to the front
piece of the frame. A bench for the
driver completes the implement A roller
made in this way is much more durable
than made in the way we used to make
them, with gudgeons driven into the rolls
and turning in the frame. When boxing
wears out it is easily replaced. - Cor.
