Artificial Forage for Bees.

The question which has been most
frequently asked is, will it pay to cult
vate any plant exclusively for honey on
land which is of value for general field
crops? We have always advocated the
affirmative of this question. We have
advised to the setting of Eastwood trees
for general shade and in waste places.
There are many points in favor of this
tree as shade tree. The bark is
smooth, the top of the finest shape, the
tree is most rapid grower, and it is
much less liable to have limbs broken
or crotches split by hard winds than
either the maple or elm. We have also
urged the sowing OF Alsike clover, as
it not only affords an abundance of nee
tar, but at the same time is one Of the
6uest plants for hay that we have ever
tested. 1t has both a tap-root and
fbrous roots, giving it the combined
advantages of both Red and White
clover, Bokhara, or what is more COM
monty known as "Sweet clover" has
been sown to advantage on waste lands,
especially along the banks of streams.
or on stony or swampy places. 1t
thrives best where the soil is damp -

THE Farm.
FARM MISCELLANY.
Keeping Onions Through the
Winter.

There are many ways Of keeping
good, sound, ripe, dry onions. The
great point is to keep them dry. But
you must recollect that even ripe, dry
onion contains at least eighty per cent.
Of water, and when large mass of them
are kept together they are liable to
"sweat," and the skins and tops become
damp; and if the temperature is above
freezing, they will throw out roots and
commence to grow, just as they would
in the damp soil. II it is necessary to
keep them in large mass, put them in
dry place, such as shed or barn;
then they will freeze solid, and stay
frozen till wanted in spring. They
must be we'll covered to keep them
from thswing, and you should avoid
putting them in baru with basement
underneath where horses, ,attle, sheep
or hogs are kept, as the warmth from
the animals might thaw them out.
They can be placed three or four inches
deep on shelves in dry cellar. or in
salt-boxss holding about bushel each.
The lower boxes should be placed on
boards, and not on the cellar floor. The
boxes may be piled up one above anoth.
err. but in such way as to "break
joints" and admit of circulation of air
all around and through every box.

to lay, in fact, some Of them do lay an
egg once in while, and | believe they
would keep right on laying, if we only
encourage them a little" 'I've been
thinking about the matter" answered
Jake, land I reckon you are about
right; anyway. I am going to add to the
sum total of what our good neighbors
are pleased to call our foolishness. by
fixing up that old shed, for the fowls,
and we will see what we can do"
The old shed where the poultry had
roasted and suffered through lrevi' u
winters was fixed up, and, although ii
was not what one mi ght, term an orna-
mental poultry-house. it was certainly a
comfortable one, and better adapted to
the needs of the fowls than many poul-
try houses which are supposed to pos
sess "a.l the modern improvements"
and conveuiences. But this fixing up
added some to the expense side Of the
account, and the neighbors, who some
how managed to find time to keep
watch of all the "chickens doin's" on
the Slocum farm. declared that Jake
Slocum had gone "clean crazy about
chickens, and all because Mis- Slocum
happened to sell couple of them
Brahma ROSTERS" Time passed on, as
they always say in stories, and Mrs.
S'ocum's Brahmas ate, and grew, and
seemed to enjoy life generally. Mrs.
Slocum studied the World, and from
its columns learned many things about
feeding, which were new to her. Every
morning her fowls, Brahma and com.
mon fowls alike. had hot break fast of
cooked vegetables and scraps from the
table thickened up with bran and
shorts; at noon they had feed of wheat,
buckwheat, or oats, and at night she
filled them up with corn. She also
provided oyster shells, old plaster, gray
ell, charcoal, pounded up all the old
broken crockery, induced Jake to pound
up all the raw bones, fed sour milk,
meat, green vegetables, pepper, in fact,
she fed about everything. If there
was anything recommended by the
Poultry World as food for fowls that
she didn't give her fowls, it was be-
cause she couldn't get it. So firmly
did she believe in the World that if
that authority had recommended pound
cake and plum pudding for fowls l ver-
lily believe she would have fed them
regardless of expense Or the COM
ments of her neighbors.

WALKS AND TALKS ON THE
FARM,
About Flowing.
BY JOSEPH HARRIS,

In the Northwest fall blowing is the
rule; with us it is the exception. 1t is
quite probable that in many cases pillow.
ing sod land in the fall, which we in.
tend to plant with corn or potatoes in
the spring, is injurious rather than
beneficial. furthermore, we can pillow
sod land in the spring when other land
is too wet to work. In this section,
therefore, and still more in sections
where the winters are milder, we are
willing to admit that there is usually
little to be gained by fall blowing sod
land; but in the case of corn.stubble or
any other land not in grass or clover,
we can see no possible objection to fall
blowing. There is nothing growing on
the land, and whether plowed or not
plowed, there is just as much danger
OF loss of nitrates from washing in the
one case as the other, and the advan.
tage Of blowing is certainly very great.
At this season of the year land is in
admirable condition for blowing. We
are not very busy with our horses, and
every acre we now pillow is an acre less
to pillow in the spring. Any raw clay
soil that is turned up now is exposed to
the ameliorating action of the sun, air
and frost. But the great and paramount
advantage lies in the fact that we can
get our spring crops in several days or
even weeks earlier, and we are not so
hurried that we cannot do the work
properly. 1t is grand thing at all
times to be able to push the work and
not let the work push you.
We should make it rule that every
acre Of land not occupied with grass,
clover or other crops, and which we in.
tend to sow or plant early next spring,
should be plowed this fall. II it is
strong land, or if it is sandy land with
a substratum of calcareous clay lying
within seven or eight or nine inches If
the surface, we should put down the
pillow so as to reach it and bring an nch
or two Of this subsoil where it will be
exposed to the atmosphere and be grad
ually mixed with he lighter surface
soil.
MORE GLOVER AND MORE STOCK.
There is great demand for sheep in
this section, not merely for fattening,
but for raising lambs. The more wheat
we raise the more sheep we can keep.
Sheep do we'll in winter on good, bright
wheat straw, and pound each per day
Of grain, malt-sprouts, or cotton-seed
cake. We ought not to allow so much
of the latter to go abroad. fit is true
that the manure from ton of cotton.
seed cake is worth more than we paw
fos the cake. We certainly ought to be
able to furnish our cities with all the
good mutton and lamb needed and keep
our own table we'll supplied. and stop
importing wool. We are paying mil
lions of dollars for artificial fertilizers,
and | say nothing against it, but l am
confident that sooner or later we shall
find it necessary and profitable to keep
more stock. The farmer who sells GLOW.
er hay cannot long keep up the produc-
tiveness of his farm by the mere use of
phosphates. More clover, more sheep
and more wheat is the aim of many of
eupbest farmers.

their account:

Jake whistled. "By George" he ex,
claimed, "this is expensive business,
and we haven't allowed cent for rails
ing that brood" "Well don't for mer-
cy's sake figure any more" said Mrs.
Slocum, cat least not until we have
something more to put on the credit
side of the account. 1 do hope those
pullets will begin to lay pretty soon.
Eggs are twenty-five cents dozen now,
and none of our neighbors hens are lay
ing"
Jake" said Mrs. Slocum, after dill
gently reading the first copy of the
Poultry World which came to her. ''if
warm poulty houses and plenty of the
right kind of food will make thorough
bred hens lay in winter, don't see
why the same course of treatment
would not make common hens lay. |

Mrs. Slocum's Brahmas.
Continued iron. last peeh.)
From Prairie Farmer,

Mrs. Slocum knew how to rails
chickens; she fed early and late an,
often, aud with great variety of food
and besides their regular rations, thos
Brahpa chicks got many an extra lunch
for Master Johnny fed :Aem wheneve
he happened to tink of it, and he gen
orally thought of it every time he hat
"piece." When the Brahma chick
ems were two months old, anybody with
''half an eye" could see that they were
larger than common chickens Of the
same age; when they were four months
old the difference was still more notice
able, and the neighbors reluctantly ad
mitted that Mrs. Slocum's Brahmas
were bigger than common fowls. About
that time Mrs. Slocum became aware
that her beloved Brahmas were more
than half roosters; in fact, they were all
roosters but one, and Mrs Slocum was
not near 50 Satisfied" as she tried to
appear when Jake asked her how many
dollars wol tn OF eggs she expected TO
sell from that one pullet. But she felt
quite satisfied when Deacon Smith,
who lived in the neighboring village,
and was something of a chicken fancier
called to look at a COW which Jake had
foi sale, saw the Brahmas and admired
them so much that when he found out
they were Matched from eggs bought of
Squire Town of Piketown. he paid her
five dollars for a pair of ROSTERS.
"What do you think of Brahma ROSTERS
now" she asked, as she smoothed out
the rumpled bill, and held it up before
her astonished husband. II think, -
said Jake, slowly, "that you better
spend that for some more pullets and
raise more ROSTERS and sell them for IS
pair
Slocum; "that is, mean to spend this
for pullets," and she did. That very
day she wrote to Squire Town, told him
of her luck in Matching ROSTERS, of her
sale, enclosed the five-dollar bill, and
asked him to send her pair of as good
pnllets as he could afford for the money.
In due time they came, pair Of fine
pullets, and Jake paid dollar express
charges. But he didn't grumble. The
sale of the ROSTERS had opened his
eyes, and Brahma stock bad gone up
fully 100 per cent in his estimation.
The next week, Jake and his wife drove
over to Deacon Smiths, to see his chick.
ems, and as result of that visit, Jake
sent for copy of the Standard, sub
scribed for poultry paper, sent to
Squire Town for three more pullets,
built neat, comfortable house for his
wife's Brahmas, and sold off all the
common roosters on the place. Yes;
Jake Slocum had the "chicken fever,
and when the neighbors heard of his
taking poultry paper, ana saw the new
hen house, they declared that he was as
"big fool as his wife," "But after
ALL" said one woman, thoughtfully,
''there's no denyin' the fact that their
Brahmas are a sight bigger than our
hens. Why, that pullet that Mis- Slo
cum raised is bigger than any rooster
on our place now. Mis- Slocum's girl
told me that it weighed six pounds, and
it amt quite six months old yet. And
their biggest rooster weighs more than
eight pounds
When the house was finished and the
Brahmas in it, Jake and his wife sat
down to figure up expenses. Here is
