Agricultural.

Almond culture is quite success
full irCalifornia. -Four varieties are
grown-nanely: The soft she'll,
standard, hard she'll and paper shell.
The crop of 1881 was 300, 000pounds,
about half Of which was used to
supply the home trade and the bal
ance shipped East.
Cattle fed on roots of ensilage in
winter will need little water. In
stead Of being an objection this is
rather an advantage of these feeds.
In very cold weather cows fed on dry
feed will become quite thirsty before
going to the trough to slake their
thirst, and then they will be apt to
drink too much, injuring the flow OF
milk by both extremes.
The failures of the patent milking
machines is ascri:ed to the fact that
they all aim at Il wrong method,
initiating the sucking ola calf rather
than the manipulations of hand
milking. This last is essential to
getting the largest secretion OF milk,
and unless some machine can rival
the hand for milking, the old way
must be followed a while longer.

Carp Ponds.

In the following way five of my
are constructed, which are
supplied only with surface water.
Last summer the water in these /
was as pure and clear as that of a fine
lake. This was owing to their being !
well stocked with carp. A dam is
thrown across the lower end OF a
hollow; the dams are made entirely
Of soil or earth; this is the best mate
rial to make dam Of, and is also the
cheapest. TIE sides Of the dam
should have a slope of at least 10 de-
grees. ! do not use any stone or wood
Except on overflow or drain on this
kind of pond. / try to have no
stones nor pieces ofwood lying around
near the ponds, for these are only
places Of shelter for some of the enem-
les to the fish, and an inducement for
snakes, crawfsh, ETC., to harbor near
the ponds. The deepest part of the
pond should be at the least eight feet;
then it should run out shallow on the
sides all around, or as much so as
possible. 1t is best to have the shall
| low places in the pond on the north
and west sides; here the sun will strike
the water early in the day, and if
shallow will warm it up quicker.
The carp will always be found in
the part of the pond where it is the
warmest; hercthey find most Of their
nourishment, and it is in the warm,
shallow places where most nourish-
mcnt is produced, such as insects, etc.
Toward the cool part Of the day or
evening the carp retire to the deeper
parts Of the pond (where tits then the
warmcst), and so do the insects that
we're Matched during the day.
There should be no gravel or stone
in the deepest part Of the pond.
Spade up we'll the bottom of a new
pond before the water is let in. Have
as much surface water flow into the
pond as possible; more nourlshment
is in this than in spring water, espec-
tally when it flows from pastures. \
There should be ditch around a
carp pond, so that the water that
comes from the melting of snow can
be run off, as too much snow water
let into a carp pond will sicken anc
often destroy the fish.
During winter, one or more large
bundles frye straw should be place.
upright in the water, in this kind o
pond.
This will leave air-holes in the ice
and then it is not necessary to chol
holes in the ice when the pond is froz

y Carp ponds should be constructed
ed in such u way that the water ca
be drained from them entirely. Thi
is necessary when the fish are to b
taken from them for market, etc, o

MiIlet.

This valuable forage cannot be too
profusely grown for dairy cows. 1t
requires a good, free soil, which is
finely comminuted, 1t should not be
sown until warm weather-say early
in June-when, if the season be ia.
vorable, it will soon come up, grow
vigorously, and in six or eight weeks
get into bloom. When fairly headed
but before the seed has matured, il
will be in prime condition for cutting
either for hay or for soiling the cows
or other stock. 1t is palatablo to the
taste, nutritious as a food, and active
as a stimulant in the production Of
milk of an excellent quality. Fed
loose from the NOW or stack, or cut
short in machine for mixing with

sorts Of farm stock. It can succeed

soiling, plenty of time being left fol-

of summer push it forward with
great rapidity. Sow the seed at the
rate of fully half bushel to three

the better will be its quality.

Tomatoes.

The tomato for common use in win
ter should not be planted too soon,
the first of April being soon enough
for canning for winter. Those who
have room enough should plant free
ly as there is but few vegetables raised
that will produce more to the amount
of ground occupied than the tomato,
and they grow in almost any place in
reasonably good ground, If weeds
are kept away from them they will
live and bloom and ripen fruit until
they are killed by frost but as it

suckers or ofshoots trimmed off with

better, and toward cool weather is the

may prove as good and possibly
superior, when tried, and it is well
to try good sorts, but it is we'll to b.

Hungarian Grass.

This is valuable crop supplying
good green fodder, as well as hay,
and a large quantity can be obtained
from small area of land. 1t can be
sown late in the season, after the or
binary hay crop is pretty accurately
estimated, and the demand for fodder
known. Hungarian grass may be
sown after rye or on sod ground.
Pillow the lana to a moderate depth
and make the surface very fine, A
liberal dressing Of fine manure, or
some commercial fertilizer, is essen
tial, if the soil is not already pretty
rich. If the crop is wanted for feed
ing green during the summer, the
seed can be sown at intervals from
the last Of May Cat the North), to
the middle or last of JIly. If for
hay, delay sowing until about the
middle Of June, as the plants will
not grow rapidly until the nights are
warm this will give plenty of time
for full growth. Use fresh and well
ripened seed; one bnshel per acre is
sufficient, though q buahel and u hall
is sometimes used The crop should
be harvested before the seed ripens
but not until the heads of the gras,

The common practice of having
night lights in bed rooms of children
of well-to-do parents is deprecated
by DR.. Robert ii. Blackwell. He
says that it has a most injurious
effect upon the nervous system of
young children, "Instead of the
perfect rest the optic nerves ought to
have, and which nature provides for

nerves are perpetually stimulated,
and, of course, the brain and the rest
of the nervous system suffer. Child
