BRAN AND DAT MEAL-The following
are reports of experiments made at THE
College Farm, Hanover, N. H:-Thirl
experiment on bran versus meal. 1t has
been said that tho tendency of meal is to
fatten cows, if given in excess, and that
bran needs to be given if cows are well
fed, in, order TO overcome the disposition
to take on fat or to turn the food from
milk production to beef production. This
fully corroborates thus far all previous eX-
periments. Meal will make more milk
than bran, | no longer hesitate to say
The change in the butter product is re-
markable; in changing from meal to bran
there was loss of II. Z per cent in the
butter producing capacity of milk; in
changing from bran to meal there was Il
gain in butter-producing capacity of milk
of 81. 8 per cent. There is substantial
agreement in the two changes. This con
cludes the experiments of three years,
and | now feel quite confident bran is not
good standard food for the dairy here,
in any very considerable quantity. The
cob meal gave greater increase in milk
flow, but decreased butter product
This experiment, l consider, makes ii
quite probable that the cobs in corn are
Objectionable food for butter COWS. while
it is not unlikely that they may have Il
very small value to milkmen if mere
quantity is considered, but it must not be
regarded as positively determined.

BEST AGE OF BREEDING Sow.-A brood

BEST AGE OF BREEDING Sow.-A brood
sow is usually at her best, as II producer,
in the number and quality of pigs as we'll
as in the secretion of milk, when she is
from two to three years old. The number
of pigs dropped at a litter will usually
increase with each successive litter mp to
the third or fourth, provided the SOW is put
to breeding so as to drop her first litter
when she is about year old, as, is the
custom with most breeders of swine. After
the SOW reaches four years of age, her
powers of CESSATION usually grow weaker,
aud she is less liable to save the pigs that
lmay be dropped. Like all other general
rules, there are exceptions to this, but
under ordinary circumstances we would
not Recommend the keeping of brood
sows, by farmers who are raising hogs for
the general market, after they reach four
years of age. The professional breeder of
pure bred stock may often find it to his
interest to keep favorite SOW and give
her special attention so long as she will
breed at all, because the exceptional value
or reputation of her produce will Justify
him in keeping her for returns in number,
with which ordinary stock would not repay
the cost of food, but such cases rarely
occur with the general farmer who breeds
and feeds pigs TO make pork. National

flow of milk begins TO subside, which Is
usually the second to fifth day after calving
the calf should be removed so that 1t can
not suck. and yet not so far away that the
dam cannot see it or smell il. IL Is well
to put it in the adjoining stall. The udder
then fills up more or less. and as soon as
possible milk but twice day, so that the
distention may be as great as possible.
Capacity in the udder to hold all the milk
is cultivated quality. Wild cows never
have large udders. simply because they
never have full udders.
As to the calves. they soon learn to drink
from the pail. If they are to be fattened
the best way for the veal is to put them
upon an old cow whose large udder ha:
long been fixed. If there be no nurse COW
or any COW with teats so small as to make
it hard to milk her then the calf must be
taught to drink. This is easy, but there
is a serious objection to the practice. The
calf soon drinks SO fast that the milk /:
swallowed without that delutiton anc
mixing with saliva which is essential &c
quick and perfect digestion. The way tC
avoid this difficulty is to use calf feeder
These are common in Europe, especially
in England, and consist of an India rubber
teat fixed in pail or pail cover, which
allows the milk to come only in response
to diligent sucking, and the calf is thu
made to take its milk mingled with saliva
and quite in the natural way. The result
is u healthier condition and quite as rapit
growth and fattening rs if the calf wert
brought up and fattened on the COW.

Cows AND CALvEs.-The silver buds of
the willows and the ruddy and golden
alder tassels; the bleating of lambs and
calves, make it seem really like spring
The frogs piped in January; robins and
buebirds have been with us through the
whole winter; blackbirds appeared in
February, fairly darkening the air and the
fields where they alighted; but calves
veal in the market, and plenty OF milk in
the dairy, even though the weather be
cold, settle the matter.
Let us discuss the treatment of cows
and calves. The heifer comes in at full
time; it is her first calf; healthy, fine
calf, bnt under sized. That does not mat
ter much if we are going to raise it, for ii
has the whole world to grow in; but il
destined for veal, it were better larger
The heifer's udder is hot and feverish, yet
soft; the next day it begins to cake and
grow hard in spots. What is to be done!
There are II dozen cures; garget root
sliced thin and scalded with meal or bran
and fed to the patient, is one. There is
no harm in that, for the medical proper
ties of the root are diuretic and anti-febrie
Greasing, rubbing, washing with tincture
of arnica and water, etc. Iodine of pot.
assium internally and externally applied
is also recommended, and we presume
may be very good in severe cases; but
the simplest, most philosophical, and
most efficient remedy, and one always
at hand, is hot mater. Apply it at least
four times day, after drawing every drop
Of milk, and just as hot as the COW can
stand it; battle the whole bag, using II
sponge or towel; rub dry with u clean
sack and then grease it all over to prevent
taking cold in it. The best grease, how
ever. is "elbow grease" for the bathing,
and rubbing should occupy at least fifteen
minutes.
Whenever caked bag Or garget occurs
this is the best treatment. We're it not
that it comes SO like drawing teeth to most
men to sit down and manipulate u COWS
udder in this way for quarter of an hour,
there would be n great many less three
teated cows.
When the calf is left to run with the
cow the bag never fails. A heifer treated
in this way gets little bag almost surely.

JOSEPH Cook ON CARLYLE.-From
Emerson Mr.. Cook turns to Carlyle, taking
up the chapter in Sartor Resartus," on
the - Everlasting Yea" which is taken to
signify the value of secret prayer. This
book was for years, Mr.. Cook says, the
inspiration of New England transcenden-
talism. and is very largely an autobiogra-
ply. After quoting the passage which
ends, 30, heavens. it is in very deed God
then that ever speaks through thee (na-
ture); that lives and loves in thee, that
lives and loves in me?" Mr.. Cook re-
marks that this is Carlyle's proclamation
of his belief in personal, omnipresent
God, and that it was = his adoption of the
ism which first united the knot which
choked him." Another passage is quoted,
but q" it does not sound quite like panthe-
ISM" Mr.. Cook instances as a " supreme
psalm of triumph a passage in which
occur these words: /" Has not the worship
of sorrow originated and been generated
is it not here? Feel it in thy heart, and
then say whether it is of God! This is
belief; all else is opinion-for which latter
whose will let him worry and be worried.

The butter merchant looked up surprised,
but, without declaring his innocence,

Hills or Drills for Corn.

A correspondent of the Portsmouth
Weekly does not believe in twin ears on
stalks of field corn, nor in planting in
hills. He says he has grown corn for
twenty years by drill culture, and that by
no system Of hill planting has he been
able TO produce more than twO-thirds as
many bushels per acre as when he has
planted in drills. He has the rows from
three feet to three and half feet apart,
and prefers to have the stalks only three
inches apart in the rows. Two ears on a
stalk, he contends, causes II waste of foil
age. as do also barren stalks and suckers.
In hill culture he finds that four kernel,
to the hill bring the best results. He is
also opposed to the application of much
fertilizer In the hill, as he believes it tends
to force too heavy a growth of foliage.
Corn. in New England, is again coming
to be one of the staple crops, but unless
better methods are adopted for growing it
than were in fashion twenty years ago, we
fear the fashion will be of short duration.
One thing is very certain, which is, that
it will not answer to let the fodder waste
in the field, as was the custom in times
past.
we lIleu luc ullll SYSTEM last year
on a portion of our corn field, and with
most excellent results. The crop was bet
ter, the stalks stood more evenly, it was
more easily and thoroughly cultivated by
the horse and cultivator. We think that
there will be decided movement in that
direction as soon as it has been more gen
orally tried. We much prefer it to " check
row" planting, which in turn is infinitely
better than the common way of promiscu-
Gus hills in the row. In "check row >
planting the crop may be cultivated botf
ways, where the land is level enough tc
admit it. In drill " planting it does no
need it, as the work can be more thorough
ly done by going one way than by going
both ways; in "check row" planting
there being no hills to hold weeds between
the stalks must be pullel out by hand OIL
remain.
Give drill planting u trial on some
portion of your corn field, and report re
suits.

other ornamental trees. this very negative
quality may commend it for the purpose
indicated. Germantown Telegraph.
There is another view Of the case which
might be presented-the effect of roadside
trees on the lands joining the roads. 1t
has been of late a very popular theme for
a certain class of agricultural writers-the
beauty of and benefits to be derived from
planting trees by the roadside; and some
oranges have offered prizes for the
largest number so set, as matter of pub
lie benefit. This matter is discussed by
the Telegraph.
The other view is the effect of roadside
trees on the private premises adjoining.
We have lively recollection of the virtu-
GUS Indignation of certain people with no
pecuniary interest in the matter when we
cut line of naples on our land beside
the road. Those naples rendered entirely
valueless for us strip of land about two
rods wide, the whole length of the row,
and that too of level and naturally good
soil and not ar from the barn. We could
not afford the loss and so cut the trees,
and not only has the drain on the land by
the roots of the trees ceased, but the road
has been better and the mud has dried
sooner in spring.
Our idea is that the rights and privileges
of the individual stand pre-eminent and
that in the present condition of agricultur
al industry in this country, no farmer can
afford to give up his land where it is valu.
able, for purpose which is a questionable
public benefit, and the public have nc
right and ought not to expect it.
There is plenty of land in Vermont
which might proiitably be given up to the
growing of timber-proftable to the pub
lie and to the individual overland some
of these lands are intersected by roads
and here trees may well be planted. We
pasture our woodland so young timber
does not get much Of a start, and we pro
pose setting young naples in places where
the trees are getting thinned out, an(
where becches are standing which will
soon be cut.

MILK FOR FowLs.-Since milk is the
only article of food known to contain within
itself all the elements necessary to the
perfection of growth and vigor in an ami
NAL, it is not strange that it should be
found TO be one of the very best egg pro-
ducing materials that can be supplied to
poultry. Given two flocks of fowls, and
treatment, location, and original stock
being equal in all respects SaUe one, it will
be found that those having skinned milk
as a portion of their daily food or drink
will give more eggs weekly. and for a
longer term of weeks, than those whose
treatment is exactly the same, with this
single exception.
A correspondent writes thus: "a neigh
Dor of ours, whose hens, to our exaspera-
ton, kept laying on when eggs were forty.
five cents per dozen, while ours persisteutly
laid off during the same season, on being
questioned revealed the fact that his hens
had pailful of skinned, perhaps clapper-
ed, milk each day, and no other drink.
On comparing notes we each found that
our management of our fowls was almost
exactly alike with this single difference-a
difference that put many dollar to the
credit side of his ledger, while our own
was left blank during the same period !;
and this thing had been going ON for
years, with the result always in favor of a
milk diet.
In cases where milk is very plenty and
only portion is needed for fowls,t would

EGYPTIAN CoRN.-Egyptian corn is
attracting considerable attention in Cali
fornia. The yield is enormous. It re-
quires little care and makes excellent food
for man and beast. 1t is not produced in
ears at all, but in a much more condensed
form. 1t does not grow rs tall. but
branches more than Indian corn. and each
branch is tufted with large head con,
tanning thousands of seeds. 'The climate
of portions Of California is similar to thai
of Egypt, and it is thought this grain will
prove to be very valuable product. One
grower in that state claims to have har-
vested crop averaging eighty bushels t.
the acre. The grain resembles hulled
barley, for which it is easily mistaken
There are two varieties, white and brown
differing in color and flavor. The whit
has as fine flavor as rice, while thu
brown has an acrid taste while green. and
till it is perfectly dry, that makes it undo
sirable as an article of food.

Roadside Trees.

We have not taken the popular side of
the question in regard to the planting of
trees along the public highways. We do
not agree in the opinion that roadside trees
are benefit in any way, but the contrary.
Admitting the fact of their desirabiity
during three months in the year, in pro-
tecting the traveller against the rays of the
sun, for the rest of the year-we may in
clude the whole nine months-they are
damaging to the road, as well as to con-
siderable strip of land which could other
wise be cultivated with the rest for farm
ing purposes. Every person using road
knows full well the influence of even the
naked tree upon its condition. Even a
macadamized road is strikingly affected
by row of trees, which, in protecting
the road bed against the drying power of
the sun, maintain it in a moist and unre-
sisting state TO the wheels of heavily laden
wagons, allowing it to be almost constant
ly full of ruts, increasing the draft upon
the horses, straining and wrecking the
wagon and adding double to the expense
of keeping that and the gears in repair.
We suggest TO those advocating trees
along highways" to take note Of what
we say, and sit down and make an esti-
mate of the credit and debit account fairly
and let us know what the quotient may be
We have been led to this subject again
by Noticing in the Pacific Rural Press an
answer from Mr.. George H. Beach of Ma
pa county, CAL, to an inquiry as to the tree
best adapted to planting along the public
roads. In this answer he says: The elm
is the king when it gets age, its slow
growth being its only drawback" AS We
cannot agree with him in this opinion
from what we have seen of the elm, We
should like some additional information
about it. Locality and latitude, it is true
may exert marked influence upon this
as upon many other trees; yet in this case
it may not hold good, as we notice thai
many elms have been set out along some
of the drives in Paramount Park. There
must have been solid reason for this, as,
being exposed as they are and will be,
failure in not meeting the public expecta-
ton will be a standing subject of comment
and criticism. We confess that, in our
limited knowledge as to the character Of
the tree, we have not been smitten with
its beauty or umbrageousness; but we adj
nit of its attractiveness when nude and
reaching height of from twenty to forty
feet. In its affording less shade than most
