Sugar Reets.-The Belair Democrat S

Sugar Beets.-The Belair Democrat says
many of our large stock grazers are going extern
sively into the raising of sugar beets for their
milk and beef cattle. As an illustration of the
benefits of feeding sugar beets to beef cattle, We
learn that William Hays sold lately lot of cattle
in Philadelphia at 1892, fattened largely
on these beets, and whici in five months gained
355 lbs, an average of two and one third pounds
per day. Another lot of larger and better quality
of cattle sold in the same market for twenty-five
cents per 100 pounds less.

Salt In Butter.-The American Dairyman
says: "The art of butter making will never reach
perfection until we stop putting salt in the butter.
1t is depraved taste that requires salt taste in
butter. The most critical judges in the old coun-
try never think of allowing salt to come near the
butter, and after getting accustomed to it there is
all the difference between the two that there is
between salt and fresh fish, flesh and other dried
or prepared food. The true epicure could eat
pound of unsalted butter at a sitting 1t will be
money in the dairyman's pocket when salt is
abandoned in the dairy"

grow verbenas SUCCESSFULLY, plant them in beds cut
in the turf. Chop the turf well and thoroughly,
add with good share of we'll decomposed stable
manure. Never, on any account, plant verbenas
in old and wornout garden soil, for they will most
assuredly fail. Give them change of soil each
season. as they do not thrive well two years in
the same bed. AS house plant, the verbena is
not a success it is almost always sickly or in
tested with red spiders. They cannot be kept
over winter in cellar.

Baltimore and Ohio Extention.-One of
the heaviest cuts on the Baltimore and Oho's

Morrison, on section IL, at the Big Gunpowder,

at that place over 100000 yards of material was
to be moved, and for the past four months a steam
shovel has been at work at the task. On Thursday
of last week $50 cars of earth were removed, on
Friday $40, and on Saturday $50. Many persons
visit these works for the purpose of witnessing
this shovel in operation.

= How to Kill Town.-If you want to keep
a town from thriving don't erect any more dwell
lngs than you can conveniently occupy yourself
If you should accidently have empty building,
and any one should want to rent it, ask three
times the value of it. Demand q Shylock price
for every foot of ground that God has given you
stewardship over. Turn cold shoulder to every
mechanic and business man who seeks to make a
home with you. Look at every newcomer with
a scowl. Run down the work of new workmen.-
Go abroad for wares rather than seek to do bust
ness in your midst. Wrap yourself with coat
of impervious selfshness. There is no more
effectual way to retard the growth of town than
actions like those enumerated.

farms are overstocked with horses. They keep
too many to do the work that will pay for doing
What they do keep are not often the best. A
poor work team makes every farm operation more
expensive, besides often delaying seeding until
the crop is very doubtful 1t is almost impossible
to do good farming with poor horses. But when
five or six horses are kept the year through to do
the work that should be done by two or three;
when two men are paid wages and boarded to do
the same work that should be done by one, it is
easy to see that whatever is gained by grain
growing is more than lost before the grain can
be realized in money

on the right side of the note. On the left are
pons designating the number of dollars one cou-

Farmers Homes.-F. D. Curtis, in an ad-
dress before the New York State Agricultural
Society, said several good things in regard to
farmers homes, but none more to the point than
the following in regard to the location and sur
roundings ofthe dwelling "a house on hill, with
no trees around it, looks cherries and unhome-
like. Have grounds around the dwelling. Tear
away the fences; they cost money, and are useless
I mean fences shutting the house up as if there
was danger of it running away. Let there be
not less than an acre of dooryard; ten will be
better. Make rich lawn Of this, and cut the
grass. 1t can be no waste, but thing of beauty;
and thing of beauty is joy forever. There
need not be any loss to be tasteful; nature and
beauty are synonymous; good taste and economy
can therefore be made landmarks to each other.
Set your fruit trees in this enclosure, and dig
around them with spade each year, and top
dress the whole, and the trees will grow finely,
and the grass will grow luxuriantly, and the house
will grow beautiful the children will grow con-
tented, the fathers and mothers as they grow old
will grow happy, the neighbors will grow to emu
late and excel, the township will grow attractive,
and the young men and young women will grow
up to feel that there is no place after all, like
Homo, Sweet Home"

incubation to Prevent Pleuro -Pneu-
monia.-At a meeting of the Maryland Stock
Breeders Association, held in Baltimore on We'd
nesday, the most interesting feature of the meet
ing was the address of DR.. Ward, State veterinary
Tgeon His subject was "Inoculation as a Pre-
ventive of the Spread of Pleuro- Pneumonia
Among Cattle" He explained the operation of
inserting the virus in the tail of COW. He ex-
planned that the hair must be closely clipped and
a crooked surgical needle inserted under the skin
which carries with thread saturated with virus.
Upon the needle being withdrawn the thread re-
mains with both ends protruding. The virus is
obtained from the lung of cows suffering with
pleuro- pneumonia, killed for the purpose. 1t is
filtered and then treated with carbolic acid, which
takes away all impurities. The subject under
treatment requires careful watching for three
weeks, and must not receive any blows during the
time. At the expiration of three weeks the tail
is dead below the point where the virus is inserted
and must be cut off. DR.. Ward is of the opinion
that the spread of the disease may be effectually
stopped by general adoption of incubation.
Mr.. T. A. Seth proposed that the benefits and
expenses of incubation be thoroughly inquired
into and the result reported at the meeting to be
held next August.

Inc Br00O6r ana CQ6 f'arm9r.-Ine Dfeeu-
ers Gazette thinks that not every person possesses
the necessary skill, observation and patience to
take high class herd or flock and maintain in
every respect its high standard of excellence.
But no prudent farmer need for this reason hest
tate about his ability to realize the most substan
tial advantages from the improvement of the live
task of maintaining the excellence and improving
the qualities of the various breeds. His best
money and surest profit will be found in the in
telligence with which he avails himself of their
efforts, and in the use of the animals which they
have fashioned to his purpose. 1t is not at all
necessary that for the practical purpose of the
farm for production of beef or of butter the farmer
should secure herd of thoroughbred cattle.
Good grades, such as can be secured by few
crosses, are, considering their cost, substantially
as good as animals of the purest breeding when
it comes to feeding or performance in the dairy.
And " hatOVOI OF SAccllcuCo 10 dc soioPsd 20 .hos
can be substantially maintained by continuous
use of pure sires. The opportunity to realize the
highest advantage and benefit from improved
stock is therefore not denied those who from lack
of inclination or any other cause, not prepared
to take lot of high-priced thoroughbred stock
in hand. There are refnements in breeding, but
the farmer need no more trouble himself about
these, unless he designs becoming professional
breeder, than he does about the rules according
to which the gearing of his moving machine is
laid out He can content himself with taking the
materials as he finds them; and if he puts them
to the best use considering the capacities and
conditions of the farm, he will make as much
money and derive as much satisfaction from his
employment as those who have given their atten-
ton to the more artistic part of the work.
