Corn after Turnips.

Noticed in the Kansas Farmer for
January 23d, the experience of F.
Wellhouse, in trying TO grow corn at
ter turnips. 1t a well-known fact
among growers of root crops, that
corn cannot be successfully grown af-
ter turnips; why it is | cannot tell,
but many have tried the experiment
to their sorrow.
Turnips, if well cared for, leave the
ground in fine condition, free from
weeds, and perfectly mellow. The
usual practice here is to sow the tur-
nip ground with spring wheat or oats,
and seed to timothy or clover. | do
not believe in raising oats very large
ly, and it is bad crop to get good
catch of grass with, but some of the
best crops of spring wheat wheat l
ever saw were grown after turnips.
Iwould like to make few inquiries
of your readers, if you have no OBJ
lection. l have but recently subscrib-
ed for the Farmer and like it very
much. / intend to go to Kansas in
the spring and locate if find a place
to suit me. | would like TO know if
any one has grown roots, either tur-
nips or beets, to any extent; if so, the
average yield per acre. have gained
much valuable information from the
Farmer, and the monthly reports of
the Board of Agriculture, but have
failed to find out one thing: what kind
of game you have in Kansas, from the
size of squirrels up. Also about fish;
| haven't heard word about fish it
cannot be that you are destitute of
fish with all of your rivers. | like to
do little hunting and fishing when
time will allow.-Earmer

Convenience On q Farm.

The successful farmer is he who pro-
vides conveniences for the care of his
property and the performance of his
work; he counts time as an important
item in the yearly ejaculation and care
of all his various effects as factor in
his annual returns, When he puts
the horse in the stable there is a place
for the harness where it will be safe
from weather or any other damage /;
his wagons and tools are provided
with covering to preserve them; about
his premises will be found little shop
or room where he keeps saws, ham
mers, yises, augers, and the various
tools that are needed to mend and put
in order the different machines he
uses. These simple articles prevent
days and weeks of delay, besides add
ing to the length of time implements
will last. 1t pays to have convent
ences; and also TO get what you do
buy of good quality.

Light for Cattle.

Neither cattle nor horses should be
installed in the dark stable,a animals
require light in The daytime. A horse,
kept for months in q dark stable,
would be liable to become blind. In
regard to light pig pens, writer says
that two sows having Filters ON the
18th and 22d of January, respectively.
were kept in two rather dark, but
warm temporary sites, and had to oc-
cupy them till about the middle of the
month of April, when, for each sow
with litter, one of the permanent sites
was opened by selling the occupants.
AT that time the pigs which had been
kept in the dark temporary sites
proved TO be less lively than and much
inferior in weight and size to those of
any of the filters raised in the less
warm but well lighted permanent
sites, Notwithstanding that the differ
ence in age was very small, and that
food and care had been the same in
every respect, One of the litters born
on the 2Sth Of January, which had ac-
cidentally the best lighted ty,though
situated in the northwest and conse-
quently the coolest corner of the
frame building, exhibited the most
rapid growth, and the litter born on
the 18th of January, which had the
darkest sty, had made the poorest.

A Cheap Fence.

Take unsharpened rails, make the
fence three rails high, as follows: Let
one end of each rail rest ON the ground
raising the other end as high as you
want the fence. The first rail is Sc
cured in its place by the stakes driven
in the ground in the form of an Y.
The next rail is placed some feet be-
hind the one staked, so that when two
stakes are driven into the ground and
resting on the rail already in position,
they will support the second rail at
the proper height, and thus the fence
is continued, the stakes supporting
the upper rail, and also holding the
next under one down firmly under the
cross.

NJ. Cologne, q noted horticulturist
of Bruges, has been very successful
with potatoes by planting whole tu-
bers thirty inches apart in the row, or
cut in half at twenty inches apart in
the row. The sets are placed on the
surface, and a slight covering of soil
drawn over them. 1t is claimed for
this plan that the seed spouts very
quickly, and their developments is al
SO fastened, which is a point gained
in avoiding the estructive potato
disease. The earth is gradually drawn
up around the plants as they increase
in size and as the requirements of the
crop appear TO suggest. 1t is further
claimed favor of this treatment, air
and heat have an opportunity of gain
ing freer access TO the roots than by
any other, and according to our for
eign authority this method deserves
to be thoroughly tested, not only on
account of the acceleration of growth
but because of an alleged increase OF
Weld.

Controlling Horn Growth.

a correspondent of the Country
Gentleman, upon the subject of con-
trolling horn growth, says:
''Some thirty years ago when boy
on my fathers farm had a pair OF
calves given to me of which | was
very proud, as all boys usually are of
their steers. When they were two
years old, horn on one of them be-
came badly Topped, caused by an in
jury. As they were perfect while
younger, L was very anxious to
straighten it, as they were twins and
very fine, and my method was, and is,
as follows Scrape, or shave the
horn on the same side you wish to
turn it, nearly or quite to the quick.
| remember in that instance | started
the blood. Repeat the operation some
two or three times if necessary, to be
governed by the severity of the case,
and scrape the horn on the opposite
side just enough to give it a healthy
growth. The philosophy of it is that
by weakening the side in the direc-
ton you wish to move the horn, and
by facilitating growth OH the opposite
side, the result, from natural causes
will be sure--that the strong will
overcome the weak. The horn in |
question was raised little higher |
than the original, but not enough to
be noticeable. L believe this mode of |
operating to be correct, and the rem
edy infallible, as have had occasion
to see il demonstrated many times
since -

Preventing Hog Cholera.


The diseases TO which swine are
subject are many. They are mostly
all termed cholera. No matter what
the form may be, there is great cry
for cure. Had we not better find
out the cause and remove it, or find a
preventive? Most diseases can be
traced to worms, and worms are
caused by hogs being kept in poor
condition, or being fed exclusively on
corn, or too many bedding together
When they are not thriving they soon
show it in their hair. 1t looks dead
and coarse, and then you may look
out for some malady. Hogs must be
kept in clean quarters and be fed va
riety of food such as meets their
wants, which can be ascertained b,
any careful feeder. Let the man who
feeds corn alone think how long he
could remain healthy on just one ar
tice of food. | have examined Digs
that have died with the thumps, and
| find their entra;ls filled with long
white worms, the outside being COW
cred with small ulcers, and beneath
every ulcer the worms heads were
imbedded. | tried the following as a
preventive frequently, and can recon-
mend it: Turpentine mixed in slop,
as much at time as you can get your
hogs to eat. Give it once every two
or three weeks; or if they are affected
give teaspoonful Of turpenhne in a
small quantity of lard or sweet milk,
and it generally effects a cure. Give
one dose day until cured. | feed
my hogs salt, ashes, charcoal, stone
coal aud soft soap, and have never had
a case of cholera William Atdradgc,

Hcrse-Radish

This is plant easily grown and is
very agreeable to most persons as a
seasoning to meats, and it is consid-
cred a healthy excitaut Of appetite. 1t
can be grown from cuttings in any
deep, rich soil. or even mucky one.
1t is best after standing out all win
ter. In the vicinity of cities it is ex-
tensiyely cultivated as market crop,
aud is found to be very profitable.
For family use few plants will suffice.

Keep your stock constantly gaming
in flesh. Use the most unfailing vigi-
lance and diligence to secure this. The
moment they begin to go down hill,
dollars are running out of your pock-
cts, even though you don't feel, hear
or see them, and it costs much more
to gel them up again than it does to
keep them up if properly attended to
before they begin to fail.

Many farmers don't think it will
pay to bother with much gardening.

tables desired.
