SOME THINGS l HAVE LEARNED TINS YEAR,
That tomato plants in tho same hill with
squashes, cuoumbers and pumpkins will not
keep OF the bugs
That an application of air.slacked lime will
not keep bugs away from vines, cabbnges,
radishes, turnips or egg-plants. That salt
petre water will not accomplish anything in
that line. That coal oil for that purpose is
also failure.
That good application, three times repeated,
of seasonably strong liquid manure does well,
and that fine sulphur sprinkled over plants
and vines will greatly help in getting rid of
these pests.
That reasonable application of wood ashes
is very beneficial to garden, but that it is
comparatively easy matter to make the appli-
cation too strong, especially If the ashes are
unleached
That it is useless to plant sweet corn until
the ground gets as warm as the weather, as
corn planted three weeks later will come TO
maturity just as quick with the same soil and
cultivation.
That there is a very decided advantage in
good, sound, quickly terminating seed-corn,
and this will be evident from the time the
corn sprouts until it natures.
That peas will not do as well on new, rich
ground as ON old.
That can raise more and better Lima beans
by planting in a row. the plants six inches
apart than in hills with three or four beans in
hill.
That it pays to soak sorghum seed "a hours
before planting.
That tomato vines will grow faster and
blossom quicker if n little manure is worked
into the hills than if set out without. - Cor.

Regularity in Milking.

Regularity in milking is very essential to
the maintenance of constant flow of milk
This will be found very apparent when dali
ly weighing or estimate by measuring the
milk is made and record kept During two
years, in dairy of 10 COWS, record kept of
each milking showed a constant loss every
Sunday where the morning milking was two
hours later and the evening sometimes later
and sometimes earlier. The average for five
consecutive weeks taken haphazard in July
and August when the COWS were in their
flush and fed upon sweet corn fodder with
considerable quantity of ears upon It, and
therefore unusually rich food, was as follows
For the week days the average daily yield per
week of the IL COWS was as follows: 800 lbs. q,
3l5, 800, 800, 31S. The Sunday milkings,
charging the loss on Monday morning as part
of the effect of the irregularity, were 292 lbs.
POS, 3O4, 2SG, 27i, in no case being equal to
the regular daily average.
1t is not difficult to understand the reason.
A delay in milking not only disturbs the
cows, but it has the effect of producing con.
gestion of the milk glands, by crowding
them and overstocking the fine ducts by
which they are drained. Every excessive
muscular or nervous action produces CORE.
spending reaction and weakening of the
excited organs. Besides, when the glands

place, and by delaying the milking still longer
COW may in time be dried up and the milk
production wholly stopped by this reabsorp-
ton of the milk. There may be an in cas-
ed quantity of milk at the delayed IN liking
but the next one and the next to that will be
decreased When the irregularity is fire.
quent, of course the effect is greatly increas-
ed and the injury correspondingly greater.
Regularity of feeding tends to the same eff
feet, and therefore regularity should stand
next in the list of essential virtues for the
proper conduct of a dairy to cleanliness -

The beet sugar crop Of Europe for this
year has been estimated at 10000 600 600
pounds. The annual consumption of sugar
in the United States is now about 100000
600 pounds The beet sugar of Europe is,
therefore, sufficient to supply this country for
two years. Germany alone makes 900, O0O,-
600 pounds; France 800, 600, 600; Austria
Hungary 800, OOO 600. Taking the whole prod
uct Of the world, beet sugar and cane sugar
are now produced in about equal quantities.
The crop Of cane sugar is estimated a trifle
the larger or 1850, 600, 600 pounds. About
hale of this is made in Cuba, Brazil and Java,
Of which Cuba produces 1000, 900, 900, Brazil
500, 600, coo and Java 400 900, OOO This years
crop in Louisiana is estimated at 2i0 600, 600
pounds. This state (Lousiana) produces the
principal sugar crop of the country, The
product in all the other states of maple cane
and sorghum sugar, makes total for the
United States of less than 300, 900, 900 pounds,
or not far from one seventh part of the guam
tty required to supply the country. Com
paratively small as this quantity is, many be-
lieye that the time is near when we shall pro-
duce all the sugar that will be needed for home
consumption.
The recent discoveries and improvements
in methods of manufacturing sorghum sugar,
and tho success of some of the sorghum su-
gar establishments encourage this belief One
at Hutchinson, Kan, it is reported has been
turning out 30, 900 pounds of sugar and 1000
gallons of syrup daily, and, if reports are
true, the company will make from cane grown
this year, 100000 pounds of sugar and POO,
900 gallons of syrup-nearly fifth part as
many pounds of sugar and several times as
many gallons of syrup, from a single estab-
lishment us the state of Vermont makes from

Results of the seasons experiments with DO.
tatoes at the New York experiment station,
when summed up, indicate the following con.
illusions: Potatoes invariably produce their
tubers above their feeding roots Ordinary
cultivation does not break or injure the roots
of potatoes while the plant is growing. The
roots require a cool, moist feeding ground,
but the tubers do well in light, dry surface
soil. single eye under favorable condi-
tlons, is capable of producing all the potatoes
that can be expected to be grown in "a hill.
Potatoes planted whole rarely develop all their
eyes into growth, often no more vines being
made than from single eye planted. Using
whole seed for the purpose of increasing the
stalks or tubers is therefore, wasteful If
the whole potato with one good sprout devel-
oped has that sprout injured or destroyed
several of the other eyes may push out sprouts
simultaneously, with large yield of small tu-
bers as the result Potatoes repeatedly hilled
up, so that an undue proportion of vine is
covered with earth, are liable TO be checked
in their tuber formation. The vino that made
four feet of upward growth, through soil add
ed during its growing period, neither branch
ed nor threw out roOt-stalks, and bore only
three potatoes. These were Just above the
seed and the largest weighed "a ounces, the
others being no larger than peas.

Soiling, which must yet become the system
for stoek-feeding on high-priced lands, does
not necessarily involve an abrupt change from
entire pasturing to entire soiling. In most
cases gradual change would probably be the
best, since few farmers would be prepared to
change their entire pastures to other uses.
The ausbandman (Elmira, N. W gives the
practice of New York dairy farmer who
practices partial soiling finding it very salts

lowing the plan. His pastures furnish par
tal sustenance for his cows and also ground
for exercise, but be gives one full feed a day
from crops grownfor this purpose. Rye sown
in the fall furnishes the first and earliest food;
then oats sown in plats in succession, followed
by corn planted at successive periods. He
estimates that one acre devoted to such crops
affords as much food as four or five acres of
pasture. Heis careful to have each plat large
enough to last until the next is ready. If not
all needed for feeding green, it is cured for
dry fodder. But he emphasizes this point
strongly that ground devoted to such pur-

How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
provements in the making Of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part Of a
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount Of cutting and soldering, which
softened the metal and gave it the pliability
Of lead rather than the elasticity Of silver
Under the improved methods, each part
Of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering softensit.
To test the superiority of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one Of 3 OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case Of same
weight of any other make will give enough
to break the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

The farmers throughout this section of the
country devote great deal of their attention
to dairying, and consequently are interested
in the subject of butter. colors and DESTROYS of
ascertaining which of the many in the market
is the best and cheapest 1t is a noticeable
fact that at the agricultural fairs in New York
and the New England states the improved
butter-color made by Wells, Richardson &
Co., of Burlington, has taken first premiums
wherever exhibited, triumphing over all COM
petitors It's superiority over all others is
marked by the following properties; Itnev-
err turns rancid as so many of the oil colors
do it gives natural, bright color, Just such
as is desred-a result which is often promised
but seldom if ever obtained by others it is
far the strongest and therefore the cheapest
butter-color made; it gives universal salts
faction, and dairymen after once trying it will
use no other; it will not color the butter milk
The verdict pronounced by the county fairs
IS of the utmost importance, and carries great
weight from the fact that the judges are prac-
tlcal men, farmers and dairymen, who know
just what is needed and also whether the
promised results are obtained The most rig.
i'd and thorough tests were made, and the tri
umph of this color over all others is most
marked because it is based upon real merit
unprejudiced by any favoritism or other in
tluence.
This color is used from ocean to ocean, and
is the only safe oil color to use. Thousands
OF testimonials received by the proprietors
speak of its superiority and sound its praises
in the strongest terms.
