Farm Notes.
TIME ON rHE Farm.

ECoSoMIZING TINE ON THE FARM.
How to rzs t5me to The best advan-
tag9 in tn busy season Of he year is
vi at every farmer should study we'll.
II IS not enough that be works hard all
DAY long, Scarcely taking time to eat
MS meals, IL his work is not done right.
IN the right time and IN the right wsy.
Doing the work in the right time will
save much unnecessary labor, by keep
ing all kinds of farm implements ready
Tor use whenever needed: keeping
fences up so as not to be troubled with
runaway cattle, but especially in the
raising OF crops is it necessary to be in
time, both in seeding and harvesting
and keeping the weeds down from the
spring Of the year, so as not to let them
get start, or they will be hard to con-
quer later in the season.
To do things in the right way includes
a great deal, and only the outlines can
be given in a short article like this.
The first is to do one thing at a time
and do it thoroughly, not be shifting
from one work to another, for in this
way much time is lost. One thing
which is much overlooked is to have
everything handy; have all kinds of
Feed close by where it is to be fed; have
the corn-erib near te the hog pasture.
the hay close to the barn OF stable. and
water both for cattle and house use
near at hand. for in this way it will not
take more than half the time to do
chores as IL will If everything that is
fed must be carried, even if not thought
20 De far. 1t is surprising how much
time will be walked away for nothing
In the course of a year. Order should
De strictly observed in everything. in
having a place for all kinds Of tools and
having them in their place when not
used. While no method can be me-
chanically followed in dividing I'D the
labor On the farm. still it can be ar
ranged by establishing certain rales so
as TO save much time. In this wav
more can be done in ten hours work
than IN fourteen hours where no order
ls followed; therefore it is necessary to |
plan well before commencing on all I
kinds Of work.

a FARMERS INDEPENDENCE
fumer is the most independent man in
the world, therefore he is the happiest.
Entirely independent Of course he is
not. No man can say he can stand
quite apart from others, but the farmer
can say it with more truth than anyone
else. Nearly everything necessary to
subsistence he has at first hand he can
even at shift clothe himself, mulitudes
of people have done so, aud in times of
crisis he can subsist as well without
money as with it, for none can descend
to primitive bartering as we'll as he.
This is TO come more nearly to the true
Independent state than any other class
o. men come, and the place is reached
through the unqualified need the world
has of agricultural products. 1t has
need also of shelter and clothing but
the farmer has these things also in his
own hands. He has the lumber and the
skill with tools he has the wool and
wheel; and the hosts who have lived
in log houses, dressed in homespun.
have been as happy as any people in the
world. Hon. Warner Miller might have
added some reflections of this nature to
the very sensible ones he did make in
his address to the farmers of New York.
He might have said further. that the
farmer is blest in being removed from
the feverishness of crowds. That there
IS speculation and rascality of all kinds
and grades in country life does not af-
feet the main proposition. There is far
less of these thirgs. and no more than
that is claimed. The reason is on the
surface. The country life is in every
way the simpler, the more natural life.
1t is this, principally. because it is the
most self-supportIng. The farmer is
the happiest man-but he does not al
ways know it. You will find everywhere
discontented farmers men who are
tired of this blessed open air work, who
say they are lonely, who do not appreci-
ate their freedom, and who want to
leave the farm and come to town. But
that is only to say that, while they are
the freest and happiest Of men, they
are not always the wisest.

a GREAT CIDER YEAR.-This will
be a cider year. Apples have never
been known to be more plentiful in Con-
necticut, though here and there the
crop has been blighted by insects. A
ride in any direction will disclose tree
after tree laden with apples so that
the limbs fairly bend beneath their
weight, in cases to the point of break
ing. Even the miserable, scraggy.
gnarly trees growing by the roadside
have the fruit strung on their branches
as thick as onions suspended from a
string in a country store. Under the
circumstances it is likely that there are
more apples than can or will be con-
sumed tSv the market. and as other
States sharSe this abundance with Con-
necticut. il us presumable that thOus-
ands of buseioss will find their way into
cider mills-IYgaterb,ry Conn.) Anerj-

WHEAT must advance in price. Ac.
cOrding to the best estimates the sur
plus wheat carrieu over from last year
is put at 100, 600 600 bushels. The crop
this year, it is believed, will yield &c.,
O00.O 600 bushels, making total of 4G0,-
OOO. 600 bushels. The annual home con-
sumption Of wheat for all purposes in
the United states amounts to about
S65. 900, 600 bushels This would then
leave about $4,000, COO or hand for ex-
port. But, in recent years we have ex-
ported yearly from sixteen to City mil
lions of bushels more than our present
surplus for export. IF, therefore, the
foreign demand for wheat viii be as low
as the lowest amount exported in recent
years, the supply will be inadequate to
the demand by some millions OF bushels,
and prices must go up. Farmers will
risk little by holding on to their wheat.

Feeding Work Horses.

Ground grain is about the cheapest
form in which nutIiment can be given
to a work horse. But to produce the
best feet it should be mixed with less
concentrated food, such as cut hay or
straw, nor to give greater bulk so much
as to render the food more porous in
order that the gastric Juice may pene-
trate the whole. Meal alone, especially
of corn (which has but very little hull ]
is very apt to compact in the stomach
and is therefore not so easily digestible.
The heavy chaff of oats is one of the rea.
sons why they are so valuable as horse
food. Another reason is that oats
abound in nitrogenous or muscIe-form-
ing material, and it is, therefore. worth
more, pound for pound, than corn OF Oil
meal, whose chief constituents are car
bonaceous OF fat-forming, while those
of oats are better adapted to impart
strength. This is one of the reasons
too, why there is so much virtue in
wheat bran and middlings, possessing
as they do much larger preponderance
eAleAL SuA BbildCtOuS OF IdI-
forming material. In MANY places
wheat bran is sold as cheaply by the
ton as bay. For giving strength there
is no comparison between the two. while
as diviser of more concentrated food
1t is almost as good, pound for pound.
as that much cut hay. Wheat midd-
lihgs are also excellent food for a work
horse, although it is better that they be
mixed with more bulky food to guard
against the impaction in the stomach.
In feeding horses another thing is to
be taken into consideration The ca
pacity of horses stomach is about six
teen quarts; yet many farmers do not
hesitate to give eight quarts at a feed,
and then supplement it with as much
hay as the horse will eat. BY this means
the grain is forced out of the stomach
before it is half digested. and its place
taken up by the less nutritious portion
OF the food is forced out of the system
and is lost; whereas, if the horse has
been allowed time to properly digest his
grain feed before the hay was given
him, or what is better, given a little
good hay before the grain was given. he
would have received the full benefit of
the whole eight quarts Baltimore Sun.
