Prepare for Drouths.

The diminution in milk superinduced
by summer drOuths is one of the farmers
drawbacks. The check in the flow of
milk is sometimes felt throughout the
entire season, even if favorable weather
shall afterwards ensue, for when COWS
once fall off in their milk it is hard work
to bring them up again at this advanced
stage Of their yearly milk giving period.
Such loss may be avoided by taking the
precaution of sowing a small field of corn
adjoining the pasture, or in some place
where it will be convenient to feed. If
sown at the usual time Of planting corn,
1t will be large enough to use by the mid
dle of July. Another piece may be sown
later, for feeding in August. This will be
found cheap and good food for milch
COWS, on account of its extraordinary
succulence. Sorghum and millet are also
good, but the corn for a soling crop is
better. On most soil it flourishes during
a drouth, when everything else suffers.
The cattle can be fed in the pasture, lane
or yard at regular hours An acre or two
will often help out wonderfully in this
way, and that which is not needed for
feeding during the summer, can be cut
and cured for winter use. w. D. B., in

Professor Neolcker, the foremost agri-
cultural chemist Of England. is to be
counted among the latest converts 10 the
system OF saving green fodder in silos
Mr. Atkinson, of Boston, sent HIM two
casks-one of maize fodder, the other OF
rye-0f which Professor Noelcker returns
analysis, and, what is OF more import
ance, the report that the substances
reached him in good condition, the maize
fodder being perfectly sound, the rye very
slightly mouldy. He adds that. while he
prefers the maize t. the rye both re-
NAMED perfectly wholesome food for cat
tie, and the bulk OF what had been sent
him from the neighbOrhood of Bostt n
was fed, with little c0ttonseed meal, to
COWS on an experimental farm The an
imals "took to the ensilage at once and
liked it much"
On this Mr. Atkinson relates that he
has himself kept two cows from fall feed
TO summer pasture on the ensilage got
from halt an acre of good land and he
believes that with careful management
tour COWS can be kept to the acre of en-
silage, with a proportion of c0ttOnseed
meal added, and maintained in good con-
ditlon. He makes two suggestions which
seem to us valuable to small farmers and
to those engaged in the transport of cat
tie across the ocean. The fact that fod
der could be taken from the pits, packed
III casks and sent to England in good con-
dltIon IS suggestive: First, as to the
feeding Of live cattle in crossing the sea.
Would not good corn fodder, packed in
casks, be better than hay, and more suit
able, bulk for bulk? Second, may not
persons who live in city or village raise
fodder at some distance, permit it to
wither on the field, so as to lose its elias
ticity, and then pack it in flour barrels or
sugar barrels, using lever to press it, to
be brought in from the farm to the city
or village, as needed for the family cow?''
Why should not farmers near villages
and towns make profitable business of
preparing and selling ensilage to those
who keep cows but have too little ground
for their maintenance the year round
Such persons now buy dry feed. Why
would they not prefer to buy ensilage /?
There is here hint for new industry
which would give added value to land
near towns and villages and profitable
employment to men. n. Y Herald.

modern times. Since the time of Walton the
anglers Skill has advanced wondrOusly, while
keenness of perception and wariness have de-
velOped amongst the denizens of the liquid cle-
ment in degree quite proportonate.
The adept at flying for trout, when at work
in real earnest upon the banks of well-stocked
stream, is a striking figure, exemplary of the
true fisherman. The gracefully erect, though
eXpectant attitude the latter assumed upon the
delivery of the fly, the slender pliabe rod, the
long floating line and gossamer gut, combine to
constitute an ideal rodster.
4 thorough command of the rod and line is
as essential and important as the welding of
hand drive. The most skiful cast known in
Europe welded the whip we refer to the IA
nous Royal coachman, Tom Bosworth. Old
Tom had, IN the early part of his life driven
three British Sovereigns, viz the Fourth
George, the Fourth William, and finally, for
heightened period, Her Majesty Queen Victo-
ria. As successful fisherman. Old Tom was
unsurpassed. He would often fish in the wake
of several rodsters, whose energy would exceed
their skill, and would extract not unfrequently
three times their weight of fish by skillfullv
and carefully casting over the awkward and
most unlikely looking spots, which the majOri-
ty of anglers would rarely dream of trying A
favorite freak of his with the whip was to take
the pipe from the teeth of a passing pedestrian
by carefully calculated whrl of the lash, anG
this aptitude was as remarkably eXemplified,
for limited distance, in his use of the rod.
Bosworth originated the Coachman Fly, so
much appreciated for night~fishing. Amer-

The Florida Ship Canal.

Judge Fry, one of the projectors of the
Florida Ship Canal. gives the following as the
route of the proposed canal: Commencing at
the mouth of the st. Johns or Nassau halbor
inlet or Fernandina, thence by connecting canal
into the deep water of the St. Johns, and up the
st. Johns to Doctors Lake; then through Doct-
or'S Lake to west end of the lake; thence by
through cut into land into the Suwannee River
to Fanny or Clay Landing; thence through the
Suwannee into the Gulf, making the cutting
between Doctors Lake and the Suwannee
about siXty-one miles. and four miles from
Nassau inlet into the lower st. Johns, making
the whole distance from the Atlantic to the
Gulf l20 miles of which 55 miles is river and
lake water having the necessary depth.
The canal will be 200 feet wide at the top and
80 feet deep. The harbor at the Florida end of
the canal will require little work to make it the
required depth but the harhor at the mouth of
the Suwannee River will require, probably. the
expenditure of 81 100000 to make it desirable
1t is estimated that the canal will cost between
$20,000,000 and 25,000,000, and that it can be
completed in three years, and that 5000 900 tons
will pass through it the first year and fully TO-
000,0 900 the third year, at toll of % cents per
ton.

Maine Honored.

The "a annua! reunion Of the Sons and
Daughters of Maine occurred in Village Hall.
Wednesday night the II ut. About O'Clock
the members and invited guests began to as
sembe. At the meeting was called to order
by the president, Mr.. j. w. Talbot. The min
ules of the last meeting read by the secretary,
Mr.. Geo. l.. stone, and approved. The next
work was the election of officers which resulted
unanimously in the following choice Presi-
dent, Mr.. J. W. Talbot; Vice President, Mr.
Leonard Boyd; Secretary. Geo. l: Stone;
Treasurer, Miss Emma Talbot; Executive
Committee, Joseph Harris, VIM. F. Taylor
Bennett Pilley. The president then announced
that as the preliminary business was disposed
of, the next thing in order would be to dispose
of the well laden tables. Accordingly the com
pany, to the number of about 130, sat down to
do ample justice to the bountiful supper, and
by the way that baked beans and hasty pudding
disappeared, one would imagine that they were
all down casters This pleasureable part of
the evening being ended, the following pro-
sramme of after dinner speeches was carried
out: Song, loft in the Silly Night Prof.
Mitchell; "Home Sweet Home" by all Inter
esting remarks from Rev. Geo Hill We're then
listened to, following which Prof. Mitchell fav-
ored the audience with song, ''TWenty years
ago." Rev. Theron Brown was then ntroduc-
ed and made a very happy speech. A reading,
"The Dandy Fifth" was then given by Nj.
Stickney, which was well appreciated. w. r.
Whedon was then introduced on the press as
the Reviewer" Pleasing remarks followed
from Dea. Geo. Lows. The assembly then
sang most heartily GLORY, Glory, Haelujah"
vote of thanks was passed to Prof. Mitchell
OF motion of Mr.. Boyd. who said that was the
way they paid their singers and preachers down
east-unanlmously passed. A social time was
then INDUCED in, friendships renewed, new
ones made, and at a late hour the reunion broke
up, all agreeing that the state of Maine was to
them the biggest and dearest of all. Norwood,

How to Make the Garden Pay.

The garden pays well, even with hand
labor. 1t would pay much better if the
main burden Of the cultivation were put
upon the muscles of the horse. But the
saving Of cost in cultivation is only a
small part of the benefit of the long-row
arrangement. 1t would lead to a much
more frequent and thorough cultivation
Of our garden crops Most farmers
neglect the garden for their field crops.
The advantage Of frequent stirring Of
the surface soil to growing crops is greatly
underestimated. 1t is said that it pays
to hoe cabbage every morning before
breakfast during the early part of the
season. We can testify to the great ad-
vantage Of cultivation every week This
frequent breaking Of the crust admits Of
freer circulation of the air among the
roots below, and makes the NEST OF the
deWs and rains that fall. The manutact-
ure of plant food goes on more rapidly.
and to certain extent, cultivation is a
substitute for manure. Another benefit
OF the lOng-rOW system would be the
almost certain enlargement of the fruit
and vegetable garden, and better sup
ply of these fruits for the table This, we
believe, would have an important san
itary influence in every house hold.

About the Creamery
They are talking of having a creamery
al Machias, and the editor of the Union,
who has been investigating the subject,
submits the following facts in a recent is
sue OF his paper:
Formerly milk was gathered and set in
large tanks or pans in the creamery.
This system has been nearly altogether
abandoned as too expensive and unsatis-
factory The "Cooly system" Of collect
ing the cream instead of the milk is much
simpler, much cheaper and giving salts
faction to both creamery men and farmers.
Farmers who supply milk supply them
selves with the patent can holding IA or
20 quarts. Milk is poured in to these
cans. The cans are set in a tank large
enough TO receive ten cans, more or less.
Water is supplied, cool from the well or
spring. II not cool enough ice is added.
The water is raised to half or two thirds
the height of the cans holding the milk.
I'm this way the cream is all raised to the
surface in six to eight hours.
The cream gathcrers drive one or two
horses each; common beach, spring Wag-
ons used They start in the morning,
driving from house to house, gathering
the cream, going to the factory late in
the afternoon. thus the milk is skinned
or the cream is gathered daily. The pa
tent cans show by a glass and gauge the
quantity Of cream on each can. The
owner ol lhe cream can keep his own dc-
