Helpful Hints.

When oats or other feed get low in
the granary, instead of straining to
reach them nail stout strip to box
or bucket with which they can be easily
lifted. A horse of mine takes especial
delight in rolling in mud or manure.
| tie an old broom stock to the curry
comb, and stand off at clean and safe
distance until l get the worst of it re-
moved. If in ploughing, the land side
horse is lazy one and crowds over
against the one 10 the burrows, take an
inch board about six inches square,
and through hole in the centre drive
wooden pin sharpened at one end.
Tie this to the back of the furrow horse
so that the lazy one will strike it every
time he crowds, and he will soon get
tired Of doing so. Always have on
hand paper of copper rivets of as
sorted sizes and piece of oiled hath
er for cutting strings to keep the har-
ness mended with then breaks can be
easily mended, or those threatened in
tugs, lines, straps, ETC., either by rivet-
ing or sewing with stout leather
string. When calf persists in suck
ing after being separated from its dam
several weeks, take an old halter and
through the strap passing around in
front of the nose put nails, having the
points filed sharp and standing out
ward. A piece of leather sewed over
the heads keeps the nails in place.
With this halter on the calf the COW
will kick and keep it at a distance,
and it will soon give up in disgust.
Formerly was often annoyed and de-
layed by the looseuing of nuts on coul-
tiers or rolling cutter, until l hit upon
the plan Of putting leather washers
under the nuts, which stopped their
working loose. If at work in field
where you cannot place the jug Of
drinking water in the shade, set it in
the furrow, throw a bunch of grass
over the mouth to keep it clean, and
plough the jug under. The ground
will shield it from the hot sun, and
being cool and damp, will help keep
the water cool. In ploughing, to keep
dirt out Of the shoes, take the legs OF
an old pair Of trousers and cut pieces
off about a foot long. At opposite
points of each sew two strings. Draw
the pieces On over the shoes, tie strings
down underneath just in front of the
heel. Then fasten the upper ends Of
the pieces around above the ankles
with elastic carriers. For marker to
lay off corn rows among stumps, put
two wagon wheels on an axle of a
length to keep the wheels just the dis
lance apart the rows are desired. Any
stout stick of wood will do for the
axle. Fix on seat to ride if desired
This marker will pass over ordinary
stumps, and can be easily turned to
avoid those directly in the way of a
wheel.-dmerican Agriculturist.

Winter Wheat and Increase of Southern
Milling,

The -four milling interests Of the
South are steadily increasing, and it
now looks as though in few years the
Southern people would be able to sup
ply themselves with flour, instead of
being so largely dependent upon the
Northwest, as at present. A few years
ago the immense milling companies of
Minnesota with their improved roller
process machinery, which had not
been adopted to any great extent in
Maryland and the other Southern
States, were able to take the inferior
spring wheat of the Northwest and
produce better -four than could be-
made from the very superior hard win
ter wheat of this section by the old
system of burrs. This has now been
changed. The old mills of this and
the adjacent States have been relitted
with the very best roller machinery.
and the new ones that are being built
are putting in this kind ; so far as their
machinery and their ability to do good
work are concerned, they are fully
equal to the best mills of any Of the
Western States, this being especially
true of one or two Of our Baltimore
mills. Thus, having equal advantages
in these respects, the question of which
can make the best four-the North
west mills or Maryland mills-depends
simply upon which has the best mater
ial to work upon. And upon this
point there can be hardly be doubt
for it is almost universally admitted
that the amber and the longberry hard
winter wheat of Maryland and the
surrounding States is far superior to
the spring wheat Of Minnesota. In
fact, the truth of this statement is de-
monstrated by the higher price COM
Inanded by Southern wheat over West
ern at all times and in all the wheat
markets of the world.
The Southern wheat possesses the
best combination of nutritive proper
ties, and is thus superior as foodstuff
compared with Western wheat. Under
these circumstances it is but natural
that the demand is steadily on the in
crease for the roller process -four made
from Southern winter wheat. Since
the introduction of the roller system
on choice winter wheat, the winter
wheat patent flour takes the lead. The
New York Commercial Bulletin, Of
April 7, quotes winter wheat patent
higher than spring in that market,
and the Boston Journal, of March Is,
in reviewing the -four trade, says:
Our best winter wheat brands have
so far given satisfaction, but there
have been more or less complaints
about the spring wheats. '-Baltimore
Manufacturers Record, april 10, 'S4.

Poultry in Orchards.

Some farmers make it a practice to
keep their poultry in their orchards
from early spring until cold weather
Gets in, and they find it pays. A pick
ct fence should be built around the
orchard, high enough to prevent their
flying over, with suitable buildings
in one corner of the yard to shelter
them at night. Thus situated, the
poultry will thrive and prosper, keep
ing themselves in good condition, and
the increase of eggs will be greatly
augmented and their usefulness en-
HANGED to their owners at least, on &C.
count of the myriads of insects and
worms they destroy, and which will
more than repay the cost and labor of
building the fence. By keeping them
enclosed in this manner large num-
Der of fowls may be retained in the
orchard, and the continual scratching
which is done by them proves advan-
tageons both to the soil and the trees
themselves.
