PINCHlNG IN OF MELONS.

A practical gardner makes
the following statement "a year ago,
as test OF frequent practice among
growers of melons and squashes. |
pinched the end Of the long main
shoots OF the melons squashes and Gu
cumbers. and left some to run at their
own will. One squash plant sent out
a single stem, reaching more than
forty feet, but did not bear any fruit.
Another plant was pinched until form.
ed a compact mass of intermlngllng
side shoots eight feet square, and it
bore sixteen squashes. This last year
a muskmelon plant, thus pinched in,
covered the space allotted to it, and 1t
set twenty-three specimens of fruit !;
the most of them were pinched off.
The punching causes many lateral
branches, which latter produce the
female or fertile blossoms, while the
main vines produce only the male
blossoms. The difference In favor of
the yield OF an acre of melons treated
by this pinching process may easily
amount to one hundred barrels.

Summer Seeding to Grass.

The most successful seeding to grass
may be done in July and August, after
the grain crops are taken off. The
present season has been bad one for
the seed sown last fall. The hard
winter destroyed the timothy, and the
late spring has interfsred greatly with
the seeding of the clover. AS a rule,
it may be said that summer seeding is
more successful than fall and spring
seeding, but the ground must be
thoroughly well prepared. The whole
secret lies in his preparation. The
following plan has been found excellent
The stubhle is well plowed, no. more
than four inches deep, and Immediately
narrowed in thorough manner.
There are several new implements
which do this work in the best manner,
pnlverizing the soil, leveling the sur
face and smoothing it, SO as to get the
land II the most petect condition Tor
the seed. After al this has been
done, and the furrow marks obliterated,
the seed is sown and the surface ILL.
mediately rolled. If this is done in
July, nothing more is required. If it
is left later, it will be desirable to SOW
turnip seed, at the rate of one pound
per acre, with the grass seed. This
affords protection for the young grass
and clover in the tall and winter. We
have found 1t good plan to leave the
turnips on the ground and not gather
them. They will be killed by he frost,
and the leaves falling down, furnish
protection to the grass during the
winter, and In the early spring. when
SO much damage is usually done by
the alternate thaws and frosts. The
grass will usually furnish one cutting
the same season. but 1t should not be
pastured, as the surface is not vet firm
enough, nor the plants sufficiently well
rooted to stand such a tax.-Ameyiean

Feeding Horses.

The capacity of an ordinary horses
stomach is about sixteen quarts yet
many farmers will not hesitate to ad
minister eight quarts of oats at dose,
and then imme diately supplement this
with all the good, fresh hay he can In
duce the horse to swallow. Such feed
ing can only result one way, The grain,
the best part OF the horses feed, Is
forced out ofthe stomach before it is
half digested and its place is taken by
the less nutritious portion of his diet.
A horse treated il this way, if he hap
pened to have good, strong appetite,
is apt to be reckoned a "glutton." and
horse whose feed appears to do MIN
no good" He is not allowed time to
digest his food, and of course it cannot
do hum much good. Through i1regu-
lar work and overwork his digestive
organs, in time, become seriously i'm
paired, and what We have quoted
above becomes true of him, but with
proper feeding such a misfortune
would never have befallen him. Had
ne been allowed time to digest. his
grain before the hay was given him,
he would have received the full benefit
OF the eight quarts of oats. and at the
proper time the hay would have been
useful instead ofdetrimertal to him.

mers often make in feeding their

Feeding Fowls in Summer.

1t is less trouble to care for fowls in
the warm season, on two accounts:
The first is that If allowed a certain
amount of liberty. and access to grass,
they furnish themselves with green
food necessary TO their well being; and
the second Is that fresh meat, slugs,
flies and beetles, etc, are also to be
obtained in the same way without any
effort on the part OF their owner.
What he does need to supply them
with is the general food which must at
all times be gwen for the thrift of the
flock, such as corn. in the kernel
and ground oats, screenings. and
shorts, milk and whatever scraps of
anything from the table can be given.
These articles of food together with
the egg producing articles heretofore
named, VIII do all that is necessary for
their comfort and for the profit of the
poultry-keeper.
Thus the mere feeding is compare
lively an easy matter In summer, and
easily accomplished. But in spring
time, or during the Matching season,
there are many things thar demand

the poultry-keeper, enough, at least to

PLoUGnIsG IN GREEN CROPS.


II is a practice more common in the
West than in any other part of the
Union to fertilize land by ploughlog
under green crops. This is done often
because OF lack of manure or other
fertilizers for bringing up poor lands.
An agricultural exchange recommends
winter rye for this purpose, to be sown
Immediately af,er harvesting. This
crop will cover the ground before win
ter sets in, and thus protect the land.
and as soon as spring opens il will be
in a condition to make rapid growth.
When it gets well up it should be
plougned under and the land seeded
with clover, this being one of the best
crops to enrich land with, one of the
most important material: fo- plant
growth, both the roots and the tops OF
clover beng very rich in nitrogen; and
as it draws all of this indirectly from
the air, whatever is ploughed in is so
much gained to the soil. Some claim
that good crop OF clover tops and
roots will furnish to the soil as much
nitrogen as can be purchased for one
hundred dollars. If this IS really true
farmers had better raise clover to
plough in than to pay eighteen cents a
pound for nitrogen. Tie COW pea S
said to be good crop to grow to
plough under, but as we have had no
experience we cannot speak OF it from
our own knowledge. Formerly buck
wheat was used to plough in green,
but this has gone out OF use as a rule.
Indian corn furnishes a large amount
of material to plough ill, but we have
never been fully satisfied with this
crop I; for some reason other crops do
not grow as well after it as after clover
or, in fact, many other crops the land
indicates that an acid has been form.
ed by the decomposition of the corn
stalks. Millet makes a better green
crop than corn. Whatever summer
crop is grown, except clover, should
be followed by winter rye to shade the
land and to furnish a crop to plough
under the next spring. 1t should be
the aim OF the farmer to have his land
exposed 20 the sunshine as little as
possible, always keeping some crop
growing on 1t, thus drawing as much as
possible from the air.
"Clover sown in the spring may be
ploughed under the next spring, or il
the land is in fair condition it may be
P-rmirted.to grow and one crop har.
vested ; and when the second cop is
grown, plough il under and sow win
ter rye, to be ploughed under as late
in the spring as the land can be spared
before wanted to plant. In this way
in two years three crops can bt
ploughed under and one crop harvest
ed. or in one summer and two winters
two green crops can be ploughed in
Land thus treated will be in a goot
conditiong to produce crops eight o.
ten years, with only concentrated fer
tilizers to enrich il"

The Antique Feminine v alst.

that the Greek and Roman women, as a
whole, were convinced that the human
form was itself beautiful, SO that they
made no attempt to disfgure it by COM
preston or addition. Young girls were
dressed simply, chastely and vet ele-
gantly in the flowing stola, slightly
open at the throat and occasionally fall
ing in two sets of folds. On the eve of
marriage they were clad in white
robe called the regllla. After that
event thew wore the glrdle, which the
Roman matrons generally placed i'm
mediately beneath the bosom. Some.
times it was band and at other times
cord tied in a bow, over which the
folds OF the upper part of the dress fell
gracefully. Among the Greeks, though
not frequently worn as just described,
1t was otter placed lower down. Oc-
caslonally the stola was bound about
the bosom by band pressing over the
right shoulder and under the left breast.
This gave the right arm liberty for
action and it was only for this object

Watering Horess.

Horses working in the field, require
watering more than three times a day.
When a horse plunges its head deep
into the trough to drink, it is injuri-
uosly thirsty, and has been suffering.
While the owner visits the water Jug in
the shade, about once every hour, he
scarcely ever thinks of his team, labor

supply of water to the field for the
horses on light drag, which is as
easily taken as to drive the horses or
to lead them to the field in harness
and it would be grateful change to
carry a bunch of fodder along to give
them a mouthful when they rest at
times. Regularity in watering horses
Is point which oughr to be carefully

Parasitic Disease of Lambs.

Lambs are subject to a parasitic
disease whichis always fatal to them if

supply of this vital fluid. The con-
sequence is, that the red globules of
the blood are lacking; the blood is

arrested. The skin appears white and

lures are weak, and plneaway gradual

Following Nature.

We think that poultrymen should
follow nature as far as practicable. Al
any rate that is what we try to do.
1t is natural for hen to steal away
to lay, the darker the corner the better.
Consequently we never put nests under
the dropping boards. open only in the
rear. As a result we never find eggs
laying about the house and yard.
The hen in the natural state lays
and matches on the ground. We put
loan in bottom OF the nest, or set the
box on the ground.
The hen goes off in the early morn
ing. vets her feathers in the dew, and
on returning dampens her eggs. We
sprinkle ours occasionally, IN this cli-
mate. When given full liberty, the
hen eats great many bugs; when con-
fined we supply them with meat.
When at liberty, :hey find plenty Of
grass; when confined, we supply green
food.
The last thing the chick does before
breaking the shell is to absorb the re-
mainder of the yolk into its bowels.
Thirty-six hours after Matching we feed
them on the yolks of eggs boiled
hard.
Nature teaches the hen to swallow
sharp stones to aid in digestion. When
our yards get well picked over, we
must supply a substitute.
In the wild state they get a great
variety of food. We must supply q
variety if we expect to keep our flocks
in good health.
The only successful incubators are
those that follow nature closely. The
hen heats the eggs by radiation from
above. In the incubator we make use
OF the same laws ofradiation and atrac
ton. The hen turns the eggs frequent
ly; we must do likewise. We mus
apply the proper amount of moisture
and ventilate properly. We must fol
low nature in every detail.
! In our brooders we must provide
something for the little orphans to rur
under, as the hen hovers her brood.
None of the Gallinaceous family
RIM in larger numbers than eight o
ten in each flock. We would do vel
to proportion our flock accordingly.
Nature doeth all things well. w,
cannot go far off the track if we follow
her dictations.

Packing Eggs for Winter Use.

AS the price of eggs Is usually low
at this season, a large number may be
packed and be slowed away until
prices become higher. 1t is not neces-
sary to keep eggs six months thoug:i
they may be kept year with care.
Prices fuctuate very much. and three
months make quite difference. Opin-
ions differ as to which is the best
method of preserving eggs. The usual
practice is to pack eggs in salt not al.
lowing them to touch each other, filling
the spaces well with salt. Boxes should
be used, and the small sizes are best.
The eggs are placed on end in the
salt and whsn the boxes are full, the
tops are screwed on tightly. The
secret of success is to turn the eggs ar
least three times week, whichis done
by turning the boxes upside down.
The difficulty with preserved eggs is
that the contents if the eggs remain
in one position, settle and adhere to
the shells. This cannot be avoided
whatever the method or process may
be, but if they are packed in boxes, and
the boxes frequently turned, as men,
toned. the difficulty will be greatly
lessened. In addition to salt as pack
ing coal-ashes, plaster, well dried oats
or corn, and even dust may be used,
but salt is best. Dry processes are
more convenient than the liquid
methods, and they are preserved
the better. The chief point to be
observed, however, is to frequently
turn the eggs, and keep the boxes IN a
cool place.-Ex.
