FEEDING BRAN, AND Bur
terra correspondent of the
Scientific Farmer, upon the
question Of feeding largely of
bran to dairy COWS gives the
following:
| maintain, that if more shorts
are fed than is necessary to
countcract the heating quality
and condensed richness OF the
corn meal, it deteriorates the
butter. During last March 1
saw this illustrated, being called
upon in Boston to examine some
butterfrom one ofthe finest dali
Ees in the State, and which was
troubling the dealer who sold
it. He said it was negatively
good; nothing could be said a.
gainst it, yet mighty little
could be said in it's favor. 1t
seemed to lack that fine, nutty
flavor so necessary to fresh butt
ter that commands over 40 cents
per pound. j said at once up
on tasitngit, "Too much shorts,
not enough corn meal" He an
swered: "Just what | thought,
but didn't dare say so until it
was confirmed" In less than
ten days the butter from that
dairy was improved.

Onion Culture.

Onions can be best grown upon
the same land repeatedly, year af
ter year, and a change OF lertll-
;zers is beneficial. After barn
yard manure has been used, poul
try manure would be effective,
and occasionally a dressing OF
phosphate of lime would BE- ad
,visable. The best standard fer
,tilizer for onions is night soil, Ia
ken out of cesspools, mixed With
dry earth, and left to stand a lew
weeks until the pisincorpo-ated.
Four or five wagon loads OF the
NIGHT soil. with twice its bulk Of
earth. would be sufficient for an
acre Ten barrels of pure poul-
fry manure. mixed with an equal
quantity of fine eartb,w make
tair dressing for an acre OF onions
As .onians are sown or planted
closely in drills near together, the
fertilizer is best applied broad
cast and narrowed or raked into
the surface soil. By growing this
crop repeatedly On the same plot
and,ssing poultry manure, night
soil and superphosphate OF hac
alternately. the soil may be en-
tirely freed from weeds in few
years.

As soon as spring opens, our
bees should be examined by lift
ingthe frames Of each hive, and
it the stocks are weak, the bees
are shut to one side of the hive
by means Of 3 division boald, so
as TO keep up the necessary heat
for broo lrealiDg on as many
combs as they can cover. AS
soon as the queen has filled these
combs with eggs, we spread them
apart, inserting an empty CONT
between those occupied with bro d
and in a few days tine the queen
will fill this one also; and so we
keep on until every available cell
is occupit d with brood. THUS, il
will be stem that instead of the
queen lay ing her eggs on the out
side of the cluster, sic lays them
in the centre Of the brood-nest,
where they should be. After tie
hive is full of brood and bees, il
Ices not make SO much difference
rs the weather is warn and bees are
plenty, SO that the queen can de-
post her eggs anywhere in the
hive. As soon as the stronges
stocks are lull, take frame of
brood just gnawiDg out and place
t in The weaker ones, giving the
strong one an empty comb for the
queen to fill again, and so keep OF
until all are full American Be,

@ The indications at pres.
eut are that there will be great
or number of hogs packed in the
West this season than 10 that of
lS76-7T. Returns from 3ll
points, including the six leading
cities, show a decrease of 6l5, 1000
up to j anuary 8, compared with
the corresponding period last seas,
on, but, as hogs are plenty, it is
estimated that the entire packing
up to March LIST will reach fully
100000. while that for the seas
