Agricultural Brevities.

The following are taken from the az
ricultural columns of the Ioca STATE
Register:
Excessive watering is bad for gerani-
ums.
Turkey eggs begin to pip the Goth
day after setting.
Fish is considered almost specific
against scrofulous diseases.
When preparing soil for house plants
bake it to destroy the worms.
A good proverb for farmers is, ''Do
not put all your eggs in one basket"
Bear down hard on good crops, and
raise all possible that will save buying
or exchange.
Butter does not improve as cheese
does by age, therefore the sooner it is
sold the better.
Hard water becomes nearly soft by
boiling. A piece of chalk will soften
hard spring water.
A half-starved professional man or
merchant is far less to be envied than a
well-to-do farmer.
Nothing beauties house more than
healthy house plants To be healthy
they must have proper care and atten-
ton.
Smilax is beautiful vine, invaluable
for house or dress decoration, and should
have place among favorite house
plants.
Fuschias prosper better by having
charcoal in the bottom of the flower pot,
and some rusty nails to supply the OK
ide Of iron.
Cows pay in proportion as they are
selected with care, fed with judgment,
and their product of milk worked up
with skill and nicely.
Weeds are the farmers most inveter-
ate enemies. This season they have
made an early and vigorous start. Re
solve to let no weed escape.
There is no time on the farm now for
visiting, fishing or idleness Vigilance
and energy are required to keep the
weeds and grass in subsection in corn
fields.
No matter how much self-denial it
may UdNC, VIC muco CCdSC CApOOtlHS "
live by our wits and get something for
nothing we must get down to
work.
There is no accidental wealth result
ing from farming; the successful are
the vigilant, and it often requires life
time of intelligent industry to compass
a competence. jas. Wilson.
Examination is said to reveal that
many of the binders worn by horses are
so arranged that they strike the eyes of
the animals with every step taken, caus-
ing blindness in many cases.
A farmer who drifts into the year S
work without any plan is like General
who starts out on campaign without
arrangements, or a lawyer going into
court without preparation for his cases.

Greasing Wagons.

But few people are aware that they
do wagons and carriages more injury by
greasing too pleutifully than in any 9th
er way. A well-made wheel will endure
common wear from ten to twelve years,
if care is taken to use the right kind and
proper amount Of grease; but, if this
matter is not attended to they will be
used up in five or six years. Lard
should never be used on wagon, for it
will penetrate the hub, and work its way
out around the lemons of the spokes,
and spoil the wheel. Tallow is the best
lubricator for wood axle-trees, and cas-
tor oil for iron. Just grease enough
should be applied to the spindle of a
wagon to give it light coating; this is
better than more, for the surplus put
on will work out at the ends, and be
forced by the shoulder bands and nut
washers into the hub around the out
side of the boxes. To oil an iron axle
tree, first wipe the spindle clean with a
cloth wet with spirits of turpentine, and
then apply few drops of castor oil near
the shoulder and end. One teaspoonful
is sufficient for the whole.

A Few Hints.

Whatever is done on the farm, let it
be done well, butnot too well. That is,
we must act understandingly. IF we
fail of the largest crop that circumstan-
ces admit of, then there is blame to be
attached to us, the planners and execu-
tors. If the large crop is produced at a
disproportionate expense to smaller
crop, then we are doing poorer than we
should desire. That minimum of labor
and expense that gives the most profit
per acre is what we should desire; and
whenever we stint our expenditures so
that our crop falls below this point, we
are suffering loss. 1t is well for the
farmer to educate himself to become a
calculator Let him calculate the ex-
pense and the profit of all that he does.
Let him scheme continually to decrease
expenditures and increase the profits
Above all, let him plan his work suf-
ficiently beforehand, so that the labor
of the farm shall always be usefully en-
ployed. There is many spare moment
as during shower, or at the compile
ton of jOb-when time is wasted to
the detriment of the laborer and the
employer The laborer who is kept up
to his duty is the better for it; and the
wise employer can always, by consulting
the notebook, in which needed work is
entered as noticed, find constant work
for ALL 1t may be but driving nail;
but if the nail requires driving, it is bet
ter to do it at the proper time than to
neglect it. The wastes of the farm are
immense. Poor calculation, or none at
ALL is at the bottom of the wastes; and
if forethought can be made to take the
place of afterthought, right then and
there is better farmer-Scieatifc

Have you water in your pastures? If
not, arrange some means OF getting it
before droughty weather arrives. Of
tentimes small pond may be dug and
stoned in hollow-stoned, so that the
animals may not tread the bottom into
a mud-in the line Of the most perma-
nent runway that there is; and if this
runway be encouraged by bushes being
planted along its edges, it is probable
that it will last longer without drying
up than before, and may even perhaps
develope into permanent spring. At
any rate, don't let your stock suffer for
water, which now can be so readily, in
the most cases, obtained through the
use of the driven we'll In Afghanistan,
it is said, tunnels are run under the hills
by which many trickling subterranean
rill is directed to the outlet to form a
stream sufficiently large for purposes of
irrigation This idea is good one to
consider, whether by preserving the lit
tie rills through checking evaporation
by shading the pasture ravines, where
such exist, the water cannot be collect
ed at their lower points so as to be of
sufficient permanency of flow for pasture
use. Conservation of what we have is
a grand object for farmers, and tells
about as often as spending for material
which is already on the place, but I'M
utilized. At any rate, let us repeat;
secure water for the cattle, by preserv-
ing a summer flow Of springs if possible;
if otherwise, by putting in a well and
pump of some pattern, and then see to
it that the pump handle is kept going
sufficient for the supply needed. -Scien-
