COttOn-Seed Cake for Cows.
From the Country Gentleman.

From the Country Gentleman
Cotton-seed oil-cake is an excellent
food for mich COWS, increasing the
production of milk and butter. 1t
contains more potash than clover
and more phosphates than wheat
bran. These substances are the prin-
cipal mineral ingredients in milk. 1t
is richer than linseed oil-meal in
quantity of fatty or carbonaceous
matter in its composition, and con-
talns So per cent. more potash, and
81 per cent. more phosphates. 1t is
usually ted mixed with grain, either
dry or wet, as is most convenient. A
peck-5 pounds-of bran, 2 quarts Of
corn meal, and 9 pounds OF cotton
seed oil-cake meal, with plenty of
good hay, would be an excellent daily
ration for COW, where a good deal
OF rich milk is desired. Double
these quantities would be readily eat
en- by most cows, and could do no
harm. The following table, taken
from the analyses OF Wolf and Knop,
shows the comparative feeding value
for milk Of the substances named,

fats in 1000 pounds of each:

Seven Acres of Tuheroses.
From the sanFrancisco bulletin.

From the SanFrancisco bulletin.
A gentleman from the warm Car
penteria region of Santa Barbara
county informs us that he has seven
acres of tuberoses in full bloom. The
flowers are sold while fresh to flo.
rists for decoration, and to druggists
for perfumery. The bulbs find sale
for planting in gardens elsewhere,
and are larger and finer than Eastern
grown bulbs. These tuberoses re-
ceive only ordinary culture, and yet
some OF the clumps have sent up
twenty and thirty flower stalks rang
ing from three TO four feet high. The
bulbs were originally procured from
the East. Only 500 were planted
some three years ago, and they have
multiplied thus wonderfully. If they
can be proftably used for making
perfumery we can doubtless supply
the world with the essence OF Cali
fornia tuberoses. E. P. Sanford, the
pioneer druggist of Oakland, lately
ordered some flowers with view to
obtaining the essence. rte

actinic influence of the blue rays
which, in Mr.. Gregory's theory causes
"pitting." No seed will terminate,
and young plants will soon perish if
the chemically active rays-that is,
the actinic rays-are filtered from the
sunlight. A yellow blind drawn over
the window will absorb all the actinic
rays. The pus Of variolar postules
absorbs, by it's yellow medium, the

and thus leaves the dreaded, perma-

Raise Your Own Fruits and Veg
efahlAS.

N. Jeson in Rural Messenger.
The advice embodied above has
been often repeated and largely writ
ten upon, but perhaps paragraph or
two more may not be entirely with
out use, even though they should
embody no new idea.
No one will say that either fruit or
culinary productions are of no bene-
fit A.; all like them, and many dinner
would be but meagre repast but tor
the vegetables and fruits. Now, it
! takes but small piece Of ground to
produce fruits and vegetables enough
for family. Thousands OF farmers
are so situated as to care for nothing
more; let them at least provide for
this much, and have piece of ground
devoted exclusively to vegetables,
and another for small fruit orchard
for family use.
The plat intended for the vege-
table garden must be rich. and to be
made profitable it must be we'll cult
waited. The old mode of cultivatiug
by hand alone is too slow and labor
ious. The better plan is to cultivate
with horse and plow But for this
purpose the old fashioned garden en-
closure is out Of place. Better to
have the vegetable garden away from
the house out of reach of fowls, and
thus get rid at once of the annoyance
of having your seed beds scratched
down, and the expense OF building a
garden enclosure. This is an age OF
expedition and economy, and by re-
moving the vegetable garden some
distance into the field it can be cult.
waited mainly with the pillow, and no
enclosure will be needed. With the
cultivator one man and horse, in
half a day, could put a garden of an
acre or more in fine order, while it
would take one man with a hoe three
days to do it. 4#tAes
For the fruit garden, select such
kinds as ripen in succession through
the season. The soil ought not to be
very rich for fruits. A medium ter
tility is best. No stock should ever
be allowed to touch the fruit plants
and trees; insects must be hunted
down; an annual application Of ashes
or lime is all the manure you need
put upon the orchard. Ii you have
not these, use mari. Early corn
beans potatoes, either sweet or Irish
may be cultivated between the row
of fruit trees, unless you have the
spaces set with small fruits, as straw
berry, raspberry, currant, cranberry
gooseberry, etc. .4gt
| Success in fruit gardens depend
upon the skill and care OF the owner
You are not to expect great results
unless you bestow that assistance tina
nature requires in order to perfec
her works. Difference in farming i

Experience With Seed Potatoes.

From the New York Tribune
AS potatoes have some years been
quite scarce and dear, have plant.
ed small ones, and the result con.
WINGED me that all the widely varied
experience in the matter reported by
different farmers was owing more to
other circumstances than to the size
of the seed. And now when farm.
er tells me that his crop from small
potatoes grew and yielded best, 1
almost invariably find that, when he
planted, 1t was very hot, dry time,
generally rather late in the season !;
also that his large potatoes, cut a few
days before planting, had dried up,
more or less, and were put into dry
ground, and if dry weather contin-
ued there would not be vitality
enough left in the cut seed to over
come all these adverse conditions but
the growth would be materially
checked for the season; while the
small seed, not being cut, retained its
moisture, and the warm soil favored
speedy termination and growth, so
that the crop from small seed proved
better than that from the cut. But
my observation has been that when
ali the conditions for both are equal
ly favorable, the cut seed from large
potatoes yields 8 to 10 per cent. bet
ter than small ones planted whole.
Again, one will plant small potatoes
too thick and too many in a hill,
thinking they are so small and cheap
that he will use enough OF them,
while his neighbor, judging more cor
rectly OF the growth they will make,
will plant them as far apart as he
usually does better seed of the same

ing encouragingly while doing so

obey. Hnil5 7tr. b..
A teamster in Name says he can
start the worst balky horse by taking
him out of the shafts and making him
60 round in circle till he is giddy.
If the first dance of the sort doesn't
cure him, the second will.
To cure balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and
shut off his wind till he wants to go,
and then let him 90.
The brain of a horse seems to en-.
terrain but one idea at time, and
continued whipping only confirms his
stubborn resolve. II you can, by any
means, give him a new subject to
think about you will generally have
no trouble in starting him. A sim
pie remedy is to take couple Of
turns of stout Irvine about the fore
leg, just below the knee, tight enough
for the horse to feel, and tie in a bow
knot. AT the first check he will go
dancing of, and after going a short
distance you can get out and remove
the string to prevent injury to the
tendon in your further drive.
Take the tail OF the horse between
the hind legs, and tie it by cord to
the saddle girth.
Tie string around the horses ear,
close to the head.
Pour water in the horses ear.
