1t is claimed that light top-dress-
ing of gypsum upon pastures frequent
ly has the effect to bring in a good
growth of white clover.
In France some experiments have
recently been made in supplying cows
with cold and warm water to test the
effect on them as milk givers. The
food given was the same in both cases,
but it was found that those supplied
with water heated to 1882 f. yielded
one-third more milk than these given
cold water.
In the course of recent address on
the grasses. Mr., j. r. Alcott said: "a
town flock of sheep, with a shepherd
and bush scythe. would be a grand
thing to keep down brush and weeds
along our highways. and would bring
in our native grasses that would be
real ornament to every country road
side"
1t is always bad policy to crop bear
ing orchards, and one reason for this is
that it generally prevents their pastur-
ing by pigs, which are the best scaven-
gers for destroying wormy fruit with
its contents. The apples in our mar
kets would be fairer if pigs had the
range of apple orchards, and the pigs
themselves would be more healthful
food. If not ringed pigs will give an
orchard all the blowing it needs. with
no danger of injury to tree roots.
Few farmers would think of turning
stock on their timothy meadows in the
spring. But they should remember
that fall feeding is even worse, as it
destroys the growth needed to protect
the roots during the winter, when pro-
lection is most needed. Every pound
of feed thus stolen from timothy or
clover meadow is offset by the loss in
next seasons hay crop, besides the
chance it gives for noxious weeds to
fill vacancies where the grass is killed.
The mysterious disease known as
blight comes on potatoes from causes
little understood. 1t generally attacks
potatoes just after they have been set
and as the vines turn black and die
the further development of the tuber
is arrested. 1t seems to attack pota-
toes most freely in hot weather accom-
panied by rain, and is generally more
destructive on potatoes planted shall
low, or whose natural growth is near
the surface. Entire fields are often de-
stroyed in a single day.
In the old times the nuts of beech
and other trees, called mast, were a
great help for farmers in. growing and
fattening hogs. These nuts, from
their oily character, made soft pork,
which needed considerable corn to
harden it. Probably a feed of peas,
barley or oats would be even better for
hogs fed Oh mast than corn would be-
Bred hogs are not, however, adapted
to hunting their living in the forests,
and almost certainly would lose rather
than gain flesh by such in expert
ment.

SILVER MINES CONFlSCATED.

A special from Eagle Pass, VIA Galveston,

whose discovery about six months ago led
to much excitement, as they yielded l07 ounces
of silver to the ton. The chances are against
