tale. Another gain by it is to promote
increased budding the following year,

In fact We have no sort of doubt but that

months earlier by shortening-in literally

not induce budding it can only give form

Hints to Transplanters.

The Gardeners Monthly reviews some OF
the many practical things brought on. in ex-
perience and now confirmed as good doc
trine. 1t says
1t is now established beyond all question
that tree or shrub taken out of a poor soil,
will not bear transplanting as well as one
that has been we'll fed. For instance, if five
years ago two Norway spruces were planted,
both of same age and in soil just alike, but
one should receive no manure for all that
time and the other have little manure every
year, the chance of success in removal will
be very much in favor of the well fed tree.
Numbers of trees with good roots and well
planted, die after removal simply from a
very weakened constitution brought about
by poor living.
Another capital fact of practical value to
transplanters has been developed, which is
only just now becoming well known. 1t has
always been understood in this country that
transplanted tree is safer for being pruned,
but the pruning generally consisted of short
ening in all the branches, strong as well as
weak. But it is now found that the tree
should not be shortened III, but merely thin
ned out All the weaker branches should
be cut out, and the strong ones left.
And there is the practice becoming now
better known than others, also first learned
through our pages, that it is not possible to
pound the earth too tight about the trans
planted tree. 1t is not possible to avoid all
risks IN transplanting. The art will never
be so perfected that some will not die; and
mortality, where all the conditions can be
controlled, will be less than ever before.

Peas and Reana for Stock.

A sadly-neglected matter is the cultivation
Of leguminous plants. True, clover is
grown in all sections where it can be done,
but clover is costly crop on some land.
To take its place we have peas and beans,
which beloi G to the same family. A clover
seed Is diminutiye bean, and we're it not
for its high market value clover seed would
be invaluable for feeding. But we can pro-
duce peas and beans on the lightest of soils,
and even in sections that produce good
crops of clover these articles should be
grown. That they bring good prices in mar
ket is well known to those who endeavor to
produce them but it is their qualities for
feeding to stock that we wish to consider
Corn and meal are used for food principal
ly because they contain great deal of
nutritious matter in CO. centrated FORM
But this matter is mostly carbonaceous or
reproducing. Growing stock should not
be kept in a fat condition, for the demand
of the system is chiefly for muscle-pfoduc-
ing matter There is no concentrated mate
rial on the farm that supplies this desidera-
tum in full, and, though nature has fur
nished farmers with splendid agents for this
purpose in the shape of peas and beans, the
opportunity is not improved.
For early pasture or soiling after rye, a
piece Of land broadcasted to tall-growing
green peas, mixed with oats, is invaluable.

Preparing CABBAGE for Fowls.

A correspondent of the Poultry Journal
and Record gives the following mode of saw
ing and preparing green food, especially cab
bage leaves, for fowls in Winter: 1t seems
necessary for and beneficial to chickens to
feed at all times on some green food Dur
ing summer it is quite easy to supply their
wants, and our pets can get all they require
IL they are allowed free range, but it is nee
essary for US to provide for the hard Winter
months. A cheap aud practical way to OBJ
tain green food during Winter is the follow
ing method: Take all the outside leaves of
cabbage, which are generally thrown away
as useless, put them in layers with common
rock salt, in either, for that purpose, earthen
pits or clean barrels; stamp as solid as pos
sible, cover it up well and let it ferment.
In very short time veritable sour cabbage
is obtained, which will keep through Winter,
and will prove, as an addition to their regu-
lar food, very valuable to our pets. The
cabbage can be given raw, but it is prefer
able to feed it cooked, in a lukewarn2 condi-
ton. The chickens eat it with great relish
and thrive wonderfully, as it does not only
add to their good condition during the hard
and cold Winter months, but induces them
to commence laying early and continue dill
gently. Experience has shown in Germany
the merits of feeding sour cabbage, and /
can only advise the readers of your valuable
Journal to give it fair trial, as it is not con-
nected with any great outlay of either labor
or expense, and / am certain that it will give
satisfaction to all.-Boston Transcript.

Cooked Meat for Fowls,

1t is too much the practice to feed raw
meat to poultry under the mistaken idea
that as the worms and insects which they
seize with such ayidity are uucooked, SO
should be any meat given them by their
owners.
But the early worm which Biddy takes in
her empty crop, soft, pulpy, and crushed by
the bill before it descends the gullet, is
one thing, and the coarse, dry, striDgy, fat
less flesh thrown to them Sin the rough
and the tough is quite another, even if the
carcass of horse or sheep so bestowed is
not still more Objectionable on account of
disease. True, these nearly 'dry bones"
may serve to while away a weary hour in
the monotonous life of the poultry yard,
and happily the fowls may labor under the
impression that they are eating something.
And so they may serve a certain purpose in
the poultry world. But for real aid and
comfort to the fowls save all your refuse
meat, and buy in addition, ''liver, lights,
heart and ALL" as the old story runs, from
the shambles, and boil all together for two
hours or more. Then chop finely and mix
with meal in the water in which they are
boiled. This dry, rich mess, showing bits of
meat, like the raisins in plum pudding, will
be a dish fit to set before any "queen of the
(poultry) harem,' and she and her maids of
honor will pay you for it in more than
words, as your egg basket, high with pearls,
will show on many succeeding day.-Poul-
try Yard.

HOW to Judge a Horse.

The weak points of horse can be better
discovered while standing than while NOV
ing. If he is sound he will stand firmly and
squarely on his limbs without moving any of
them, the feet planted fatty upon the ground,
with legs plumb and naturally poised. If
one foot is thrown forward with the toe
pointing TO the ground and the heel raised,
or if the foot is lifted from the ground and
the weight taken from it, disease may be
suspected, or at least tenderness, which is a
precursor of disease. If the horse stands
with his feet spread apart, or straddles with
the hind legs, there is weakness in the loins,
and the kidneys are disordered. Heavy pull
ing bends the knees. Blush or milky cast
eyes in horses indicate moon blindness, or
something else A bad tempered horse keeps
his ears thrown back. A kicking horse is
apt to have SCARED legs. A stumbling horse
has blemished knees. When the skin is
rough and harsh, and does not move easily
and smoothly TO the touch the horse is a
heavy eater and his digestion is bad. Never
buy horse whose respiratory organs are at
all impaired. Place your ear at the side of
the heart, and if a wheeling sound is heard
1t is an indication of trouble-let him go.

Preserving Posts.

Mr.. Parker Earle says, in the Farmer and
Fruit Grower, that in building fence
around our young orchard several years ago,
we tried many plans for preserving the posts.
Having occasion to remove the fence this
Winter we noted the condition of the posts
as follows: Those set with no preparation
were decayed an inch or more in thickness.
Those coated with a thick wash of lime we're
better preserved, but were quite seriously
attacked by worms. Those posts coated
with hot tar were as perfectly sound as when
first put in the ground. Those painted with
petroleum and kerosene were equally sound
and as good as new. In future we shall
treat all posts in the following manner before
setting: Let the posts get thoroughly dry,
and then with pan of cheap kerosene and
whitewash brush, give the lower third of
the post, the part to go into the ground, two
or three good applications of oil, letting it
soak in well each time. Posts SO treated
will not be troubled by worms or insects of
any kind, but will resist decay to remark
able degree. This we find to be the simplest,
easiest, cheapest and best method of pres
arvatiOn

An Experiment With HOGS.

An Iowa farmer put up twenty-one year
old hogs for fattening, and for the first
twenty-one days fed them on shelled corn,
of which they ate eghty-three bushels. Dur
ing this period they gained 937 pounds, or
upwards of ten pounds to the bushel of corn.
He then fed the same hogs for fourteen days
on dry corn meal, during which time they
consumed forty-seven bushels and gained
535 pounds or eleven and three-quarters
pounds to the bushel. The same hogs,
next fed fourteen days on corn meal and
water mixed, consumed 554 bushels of corn,
and gained 731 pounds, or 13a pounds of
pork to the bushel He then fed them four
teen days ON corn meal cooked, and after
consuming forty-fye bushels of the cooked
meal the hogs gained 100 pounds. or very
near fifteen pounds of pork to the bushel Of
meal
