The Rest Breed.

There is suspicion in our minds that
the breed which is counted the best for
milk is the one that brings the highest
pIice-that is, it is the best breed to sell
The frequency with which some of the
fancy stock changes hands colors the
genuineness of the transactions. Some of
the Jerseys with big milk records seem to
be on the auction block every few days
and to always bring the price of good
farm each. 1t is surprising, if they are
such profitable animals, that they are not
kept longer The same is true of some
prize animals of other breeds. In fact,
all the best animals seem to be kept
either to sell or to drive about to take
premiums at fairs.
Now, Countryside has always declared
that fancy stock has little practical value
for plain men who farm for living and
that the best breed for the dairy is, and
for some time yet is likely to be, good
milking strain of grade cattle. The rea-
sons for thinking so are: that fancy
breeds are too high priced for average
dairy business; that they require too
careful treatment and too high feeding
to be profitable; and that, above all, a
native breed or strain is likely to be bet
ter acclimated, more enduring and more
productive under average treatment
If there is anything in breeding for a
special quality it will give good results
from natives sooner than from foreign
animals, if the former are carefully selec-
ted and intelligently bred. The same
care that has been exercised on foreign
strains ought to give better results with
our Aatives than can be gotten by i'm
porting foreign bred animals and sub
jecting them to different handling, eli
mate and food influences.
The truth is that the chief value of
foreign stock is to cross with native and
give an American breed. No better re-
suits could be desired than cen thus be
gotten from grades. AS long ago as
1871, the Ohio Agricultural society
offered premiums for milk and butter
yields among the short horns, which
were then the principal breed in the
State. Some very good records were
made which showed that if care had
been taken to breed for milk and butter
the shorthorns would have been good
dairy stock. This illustrates the value
of care in breeding for a special trait.
The inference is that instead of mort
gaging the farm to buy high priced i'm
ported stock, one had better look fol
good milking strains in his own neigh
boris yards and create his own breed
That is the way the breeders of fancy
stock, abroad or here, have managed tc
put the fancy prices upon their products

Showers on Ton.

1t Is generally believed that the dis
charge of artillery tends to dispel clouds
and mists in the immediate neighbor-
hood. A French electrician combats
this theory, and maintains that the effect
of series of sufficiently violent detona-
tons would be to compel the clouds to
discharge their moisture. lie even goes
so far as to say that it would be perfectly.
possible to produce fall of rain in this
way. He suggests a method by which
he believes this often highly desirable re-
suit might be brought about. His plan
is to send up one or more balloons
freighted with panclastic or some other
equally explosive compounds. They are
to be connected with battery on the
ground by means of fine wire. and when
they attain the necessary altitude-that
is, when they enter the cloud zone the
spark is to he transmitted The detona-
ton will follow, and refreshing shower
will be the result. Farmers and others
who suffer heavily from the effects of a
prolonged drought will probably be anx-
ious that the French savants system
should be given a trial, no method hith-
erto devised for obtaining rain having
proved quite efficacious.

wood Ashes i'm the Orchard.

Professor Kedsie, of the Michigan Ag-
ricultural college, says: Among the
most common and most valuable OF spe
cial manures l place wood ashes. The
amount of ash and its relative compost
ton vary with the kind and part of vege-
table burned, but we may safely take the
ash of the body of beach tree as repre-
senting the average composition of wood
ashes. One bushel of ashes represents
about two and one half tons of dry body
wood Wood ashes contain all the re-
quired elements of plant nutrition except
nitrogen. One hundred pounds of wood
ashes contain sixteen pounds of potash
worth eighty cents, three and one-half
pounds of soda worth two cents, sixty
seven pounds of lime and magnesia worth
eight cents, and five and three quarter
phosphoric acid worth twenty-six cents.
If we had to buy in market in the cheap
est form the maurial materials contained
in 100 pounds of ashes, the cost would be
$1.16. Can you afford to throw away
such valuable materials, or sell them for
sixTpcnce bushel to the soap boiler2 Ma
argument is needed; here is the value and
there is the selling price. Draw your own
conclusions.
Even when the ashes have been leached
TO the last degree, till every soluble thing
has been washed away, they still have
value, for the phosphate and carbonate OF
lime and magnesia remain, and they arc
worth thirty-f four cents for 100 pounds,
or Sc. 80 ton. The market gardeners of
Long Island knew their value, and sent
ships 1000 miles to bring the ashery
heaps of Maine, even when they had to
draw the ashes five miles before reaching
the ships But l will not consume your
time to tell how they do things down
East but l will give you my experience
with leached ashes in Eaton county.
More than thirty years ago l settled in
Vermontvile and bought lot for my
home, or as | expressed it to my wife,
Il fenced in two and a half acres of
paradise" The soil was a stiff boulder
clay, and had been exhausted by rota-
ton consisting of wheat stubble and
wheat Here planted every fruit-bear
ing tree and shrub of superior value, and
in the selections of fruits II withheld
not my heart from any joy" | kept a
COW and three horses, for in the thinly
settled country horse-fesh had to bear
{
of stable manure, and used it freely. But
soon found that excess of stable manure
gave my pear trees the first blight. made
my apples run to water sprouts and
suckers, and my grapes ran wild in wild
wood.
then turned my attention to a heap
of leached ashes near by, and had seven
ty-five to eighty tons of these ashes scat
tered over my field. No more fire blight
or water sprouts, but golden fruit in
bountiful supply. Like my ever-so great
grandfather, Adam, l left my paradise,
which passed through several hands, and
at last came into the possession of Mrs.
b. in exchange for a 1G0-acre farm. Her
son told me that she received more
money from the sale of fruit from that
two and half acre lot than she received
from the 160-acre farm. The soil has
not forgotten that liberal dressing OF
leached ashes applied more than twenty
five years ago.

Jurubeba drug that is quite popular
in Brazil, has been recently introduced
into the United States. 1t belongs to the
Solanum or tomato family, and is said to

calls it 'the vegetable mercury"

Perhaps no other crop pays so we'll
for requisite care, and needs so much Of
it, as the plum. There are some varie-
ties of plum which are able to care for
themselves and which will produce a
crop of some kind every year, but these
are like ether things easily gained, Of
but inferior value. The choicest fruits
are produced by the most labor
and care, while such varieties as
the wild goose among plums and the
Concord among grapes will usually
take care of themselves. But the finer
varieties need the best of care and cul.
tivatlon. An example of this is given
by a young orchard OF Lombard plums
from which two shoots, measuring re.
spectively fifteen and seventeen inches
in length, were cut the past season and
which bore a full peck Of well-ripeued
fruit. Ninety young trees of this var
iety in this orchard bore 800 bushels
of fruit. OF course, the owner of this
profitable young orchard gives it the
best cultivation, and whenever the COM.
