poultry, mutton is also the most con-
venicnt meat for the farmer. A sheep
is easily killed and dressed by single
hand in an hour, and in the warmest
weather it can be readily disposed Of
before it spoils. Science and expert
encc both declare it the healthiest kind
Of meat.

Awriter in the Country Gentleman dis

That breed has something 10 do with il

only affects the flavor, bnt the quality
and quantity also. Fowls that are fat
tened on corn alone produce not only a
sweet favored flesh and plenty Of il, hut
the fat is apt TO be oily, and possess a
strong, unpleasant odor. This is in q
great measure governed by the breed.
That small fowls are superior where

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.



Last year, as test OF frequent
practice among growers OF melons
and squashes, / pinched the ends Of the
long main shoots Of the melons,
squashes and cucumbers, and left some
to run ut their own will. One squash
plant sent out single stem, reaching
moro than forty feet, but it did not bear
one fruit. Another plant was pinched
until it formed compact mass OF inter
minglinR gida-shoots and main branches
eight feet square, and it bore sixteen
squashes. The present year n plant of
muskmelon thus pinched in covers the
space allotted TO it and il has set
twenty-three fruit, the most of which,
OF course, has been pinched off. The
pinching causes many lateral branches,
and these produce the female or fertile
blossoms, while the main vines produce
only male blossoms. The difference in
the yield of an acre of melons by this
pinching may easily amount TO one
hundred barrels. .-Ne,D York Sun.

Tomato vines should always have

If the vines are allowed to lie on the

Dampness and dew arc fatal TO young
turkeys Therefore they should be kept
in coops until the dew is off the grass.
A great many young turkeys die from
this cause. while breeders wrongly as
cribc their death TO improper food.
Poultry need as much protection
during the summer from the fierce rays
Of the sun as they do in winter from the
severe cold, although far too many
breeders lose sight of this very import
ant fact, and suffer corresponding losses
IN consequence.
There are farmers who make a prac-
tice OF planting certain crops each year
at the same day of the month, whether
IL is forward or backward season.
The better way, however, is 10 be gov
erned by the season. Many farmers
take the foliage OF the trees rs a guide
for planting corn. The old Indians
maxim is not bad one: Plant your
corn when The leaves OF the oak are the

Green Fodder aIIthe Year,

years, have applied it to common fod-

India millet or Guinea corn, green rye,

about 100 tons, and during the summer

have added sorghum and sugar cane TO
the varieties OF fodder | have before
preserved. have never lost any fod.
der thus preserved, but during the
whole experiment it has been perfectly
preserved and better than when fed
fresh and green from the field. As the
first fermentation is passed in the pro-
cess the food thus preserved has no
tendency either TO scour or bloat the
animals fed. 1t is eaten up eagerly
and clean, leaf and stalk, and stock
thus fed exhibits the highest condition
of health and thrift. For milch cows,
to which have mainly fed IL, ii sur
passes any other food I have ever tried.
1t increases the quantity Of milk much
beyond dry food, and the quality is bet
ter than that produced from the same
fodder when fed fresh and green from
the field. The process in it's results
upon green fodder is not unlike that by
which sauerkraut is made. So much
il this fodder improved and so com.
pletely is all waste of fodder prevented
by this process that 1 think all who try
IL with proper facilities will find IL more
profitable than the present method OF

M Time for Hating.

Begone with feud away with strife;
Our human hearts unmating
Let us be friends again This iiio
Is all too short for hating
SO dull the day, 30 dim tho way,
So rough the road we're faring-
Far better veal with faithful friend
Than stalk alone uncaring
The barren fig, the withored vine,
Are types OF selfish living;
But souls that give, like thino and mine,
Renew their life by giving.
While cypress waves DER early graves
On all the way we'ro going,
Far better plant whore seed is scant
Than tread ON fruit that's growing
Away with scornl Since die We must
And rest on one low pillow;
There are no rivals in the dust
No foes beneath tho willow.
So dry the bowers, 30 few the fowcrs
Our earthly way discloses,
Far better stoop where daisies droop
Than tramp DER broken roses
Ofwhat are all the joys we hold
Compared to joys above US?
And what are rank and power and gold
Compared TO hearts that love us2
So fleet our years, 20 full of tears,
SO closely death is waiting
God gives US space for loving grace,
But leaves no time for hating.
