IL look probable that in a jury of Twelve men

DR.. Caldwell speaks very highly of oat-
meal for mich cows; but when he rates
it above cOrnmeal be runs counter to the
experience of many farmers who feed for
cream and butter. Ii is possible that oat-
meal may be theoretically more nearly a
perfect feed than corn, as it contains a
greater percentage of albuminOids, but
no NOTthern-grown grain viii take the
place of corn in making thick, yellow
cream and highly-cOlOred butter in win
ter; that from oats alone is comparatively
white. Corn and oats ground together,
however, make good feed for COWS, or, in
TACT, for any kind of farm stOck.-Ameri-
can Cultlrator.
just now it is a seasonable time to con-
slider that sheep cannot produce wool
without feed. The wool grows rapidly
during the cold weather, being a prOvis-
ion of nature made up for the purpose Of
protecting the sheep against the cold.
But its growth is arrested at once when
the food is not sufficient. Food is used,
first to promote the animal heat. then to
supply the muscular waste, then to make
fat, wool, etc. If food is supplied in guam
tity OILY sufficient to keep sheep alive,
the wool will not grow and there is break
in the fibre. The fleece is not only def
cient in quantity but the quality is so in
ferior as to greatly reduce the Value
Net1 Yorker.
In former times it was generally held as
good doctrine that fast-grOwing trees pro-
duced wood of but little value. In this
country, however, at the present day,
there are many cases showing the rule
will not hold good. 1t is true that 'EsOft
woods are usually Of a rapid growth.
On the other hand, ash, hickory, bird
cherry and many similar trees not at all
slow in growth produce the best of tim
Der. In the case of catalpa, tree that
grows rapidly and has quite pithy wood
when young, it has been shown that the
wood is of very desirable nature, and,
used as posts in the ground, or for puT-
poses above ground, it will Outlast the
wood of many slOw-grOwing trees.
Farmers should not forget that the bran
and other coarse feed made from wheat
are richer in elements of plant food than
the whole grain, and, of course, feeding
them makes a richer manure. A ton OF
wheat bran is worth $14 80 for manure,
while a ton of corn meal is only worth
So 60. These figures are based on the cost
of nitrogen, phOsphOric acid and potash
in their commercial forms, and represent
the comparative manurial value Of feed.
1t is probably true that at the present
price of wheat-bran farmers can purchase
il to feed and make manure more cheaply
than they can otherwise obtain it. In
most markets the coarse bran is now sell
Ing at $50 to SIS per ton. and after feeding
its manurial value will be greater because
it will be more available.

Paper wash basins, buckets and similar
articles for domestic purposes are gene
rally made Of straw pulp, and after they
are roughly made into the desired shape
they are subjected to hydraulic pressure
in strong m0lds, where they acquire the
finished form.
Direct electric lighting of one Of the
trains of the District Railway between
Kensington and Putney is stated to be
very successful. The light IS not only
superior to that obtained from oil or gas
but is reported to cost only two-thirds
that Of the latter.
As the price Of wooden railway ties in
creases busy minds are at work to devise
a substitute. OF those suggested steel
appears to claim the advantage in point
OF price, it being maintained that the cost
of keeping the roadbed in repair would
be greatly reduced.
1t is said that the flavor of maple syrup

A New Strawberry.

In Fleming, not far from the No. , Sta
ton Of the Savannah, Florida and West
ern Railroad, 1 have seen during the past
week, on the premises of Mr.. John AK
tell, Strawberries in all stages of growth,
fromrunners toripened fruit. This has been
true of these plants during the past thir-
teen months. Cold and heat, and not dry
weather, fails to prevent their growth and
fruiting.
During the intense drought of the last
summer they lived on while other VarIe-
ties were more or less damaged. Runners
were set out and nearly all of them took
root. The quality of the fruit is unsur-
passed as to flavor and size. Its produce
tive capacity may be said to beunequaled
for the reason that it is really an ever
bearing plant. OF course, there is more
fruit during what is regarded as the bear
ing season than during other portions Of
the year.
The plant is evidently hybrid, being,
as is supposed, a cross of the Champion
OF Kentucky and a Seeding formed by
MIR. AXtell in Mcintosh, where picnic
had been held. He fancied the plants and
took home some of them, setting them in
a bed where three other varieties were
and alongside of the Champion of Ken
lucky. Only one of the seedlings lived.
During the season a TEnner from this
plant or the Kentucky rooted midway be-
tween them ana was severed IN cultlYa-
ton, so that when, by its special vlgOr, it
attracted attention its direct paTentage
could not be determined
Antecedents, however, are of small mo-
ment where present good character is as
Sured. Its manner of fruiting is peculiar
in the production of a round berry close
to the crown of the plant during the cold
season, where they are more or less COW
cred with leaves, and during the warm
season sending out long fruit stems with
berries in form of the Wilson.

Grating the Crane.

A good many years ago one of my friends
grated a vineyard of old Catawba vines
with ConcOrds in the following manner
They were sawed off as deep under ground
as the branching roots would allow. Then
the stump was sawed down in the middle
some two inches, and a little wedge OF
wood was driven down in the saw-cut
opening, just wide enough to receive the
wedge-shaped cutting, being careful that
the inner bark OF the cutting and of the
stalk or stump matched. Then the wooden
wedge was pulled out and the stump
pinched the cutting tight. The largest
stump had two cuttings put in, one on
each side; they were then covered with
earth, except the top bud, and pressed
down hard; then a shovel full of sawdust
was put on top. TwO-thirds Of these crafts
grew.
1 think this is better plan than cutting
wedge-shaped slit in the stalk after it is
sawed down, as described in Judge 8.

No water that has stood in vessels dur
ing the night should be used for drinking
or cooking. BY exposure to the air it has
lost its "@ration," and has absorbed much
of the dust germs floating in the apart
ment. If convenience requires water to
be kept in vessels several hours before
use, it should be covered, unless the YES
sells are tight. Whenever it is practical
bic, all distributing reservoirs should be
covered. Filtering adds to the purity of
the water. Drinking water should never
be taken from lakes or rivers on a low
level. Surface water, or water in lakes,
pools or rivers, which receive the surface
wash should be avoided as much as posi-
BILE. Do not drink much water at time.
More than two tumblerfuls should not be
taken at meal. Do not drink between
meals unless to quench the thirst; it
weakens the gastric juice and overworks
the kidneys. Excessive pOtatiOns, whether
of water or other fluid, relax the stomach,
impairs its secretions and paralyzes its
movements. By drinking a little at
time all injury is avoided.

Root-habit of the Strawberry.

According to one of his latest bulletins
from the State Experiment Station at Ge-
neVa, Director SturteYant on August 10
of last year washed out a strawberry
plant, of the TriOmph de Gand variety,
with the following result:
''The roots extended nearly vertically
downward to the depth of p inches. The
horizontal roots weree few and short, the
longest being traceable but inches.
Nearly all the fibrous roots were found
directly beneath the plant. The new roots
appeared growing out about an inch above
the old ones, and the longest of these had
attained at this time a length of 6 inches.
They were white and tipped at the eX-
tremities with thickened point"
The teaching of this one observation is
that, since the roots 90 deep, the bed
should be prepared by previous culture
and thorough fertilization to a cOnsidera-
BILE depth; that, since the roots cover an
area scarcely larger than the leaves, the
plants may be set close, provided the soil
is rich enough to properly sustain all;
and that, since the roots run so nearly
vertical, there is little danger of deep cul-
tivatiOn of the ground between the rows,
even after the plants have reached full
size. And this added point or two we
give in the Directors own words:
''The fact that the new roots grow out
above the old ones each year, explains
why strawberry plants appear to elevate
themselves upward as they become old,
and suggests the Importance of drawing
earth toward them after the bearing sea-
son. The formation Of the new roots above
the old ones as well suggests the advisa-
bility of surface manuring after the crop
is harvested, for these latter roots occupy
the upper portions of the SOIL Our OBJ
servatiOns also suggest the ACCESSIBILITY of
applying the manure or fertilizer close to
the plant, as thus being more effective
than when placed simply between the
rows. n-Nelr YOrk Tribune.

Beans

Nothing is gained by planting beans be-
fore the soil has warmed up we'll or be-
fore the frost period has passed. A small
area may be risked the latter part of
March, but the main crop should not be
planted before the latter part of April in
this latitude. 1t is desirable to have the
beans when grown for snaps ready for
market as soon as possible. for the earlier
they are the more profitable, but it is not
wise to SOW too early. When grown for
dry beans the latter part of April or early
May is soon enough to sow. The past
year proved very disastrous to the bean
crop, premature frOsts Overtaking the
crop over a large section of country. As
a consequence bean seed are very high
this year, and are quoted by statesmen at
prices ranging from So to $40 per bushel-
good seed at the first price being considered
quite bargain. The bush beans are to be
preferred to the pole sorts, and outside of
the wax beans the red valentine may be es-
teemed the best for ordinary purposes.
If the seed are first class and the land
sufficiently rich and well prepared, half
bushel of seed will suffice for an acre. If
the quality is at all inferior, it may be
necessary to use as much as a bushel, but
care should be used that the beans are not
too thick, for the vines had better be
lJJle 700 blll imam llLIle TOO Inlck.
Rows should be about three feet apart
and the plants averaging about one to the
foot in the row.
The soil being deeply and well prepared
at planting time, the cultivation after
wards should be shallow, as beans are
very quickly maturing plant, and all
plants of this character should receive
very shallow culture. Beans are easily
injured by deep working of the soil close
to the plant, and should never be Guilt
waited while the dew is in the vine. The
vines may be dIGsted with land-plaster
once or twice, especially if any lack Of
health and YigOr is noted after they begin
to grow. Land-plaster is always good
application to any leguminOus plant, be-
ing as good for beans as for clOver-the
latter, as is well known, being greatly
benefited by plaster. Unless the soil is
quite poor very little ammonia need be
applied to the crop, but phOsphOric acid
and potash should be literally applied.
On fair land the following mixture will
generally give good results: 80 lbs. cotton
seed meal, $50 lbs acid phosphate and 100
lbs. kainit. This, after being mixed to-
gether, should be applied to broad fur
rows and well mixed in by the pillow.
Seed should not be covered deeper than a
couple of inches, and at 'laying by'' the
soil should be drawn up slightly about
the stems. The weevil has become so de-
structive to beans it is a crop full of risk,
when otherwise it might be a sure and
profitable crop. SAC.
