Farm Notes.

IL your hogs lack material to
build up their bony and muscular
tissues, suppose you try an expert
ment and feed them lime, pow
derei bones, grass and oats for
muscle. When you feed, see that
every hog is present at roll call
and always seek the absent one, as
there is generally something
wrong with him, and that is the
one to watch.
Few farm crops take up so much
potash as the potato. 1t is aka
line juice that stains the hands
when pairing potatoes; and it is
best removed by oxalic acid. This
alone should be sufficient hint as
to the kind of fertilizer most need
ed for potatoes; and is the reason
why this crop soonest fails On
sandy soil, where potosh is usually
deficient.

Indian Corn Cholera Cure.

DEAR SIR: Some years ago a
relative of my wife, residing on
Sapelo Island, off Georgia coast,
had pet parrot which died of
cholera. When a second parrot
was procured, she saw in news
paper the statement that Indian
corn as sole diet was a certain
cure for cholera, if given to the
parrot in first stages of the dis
ease.
The corn diet was therefore US
ed with the second pet parrot
whenever there was any indication
of cholera-slight appearance of
diarrhea, accompanied with Ian
guor and dropping. The parrot
always rallied when thus limited
to the corn diet.
This suggested the idea that
corn as an exclusive diet would
cure cholera among fowls, if diseas-
ed ones were separated from the
flock and fed corn only in early
stages of the disease.
For number of years corn diet
and separation was resorted to up
on the first appearance of cholera
symptoms in the flock of fowls.
The remedy, l am told, never fail
al IN N e,in.rlo ,,,.l
promptly used.
The corn cure for cholera is
simple, cheap, easily used, and at
command of all. No soft food, no
other grain, separation and album
dance of fresh water Simple, and
II sovereign as remedy, it is in
valuable to the poultryman.
Let breeders try it and make re-
port. No cure-no cost, Poultry
Yard.

Missouri Crop Report.

The agricultural departments
general report for September con-
tain the following concerning
Missouri under the head of ex-
tracts from reports of state agents:
August has been hot, dry month.
The severity of the July drought
has been somewhat relieved, but
by no means broken. The July
rainfall was practically nothing,
while in Boone county the rainfall
of August has been 4.33 inches.
This was upon dry parched soil
and has not proven by any means
sufficient; indeed this fall of rain is
too little under normal conditions.
The mean temperature of the
month was 1873 degrees. The
above conditions have made plow-
ing for wheat very difficult and of
a rough character. Wheat was
a fine crop. one of Missouri's very
best. Inquiries among the thresh-
ers show that the yield per acre is
large and of good quality. The
drouth has been steadily against
the corn crop and its condition
has dropped point every two
days. 1t is virtually made and in
good condition to cut up. In fact
an unusual amount of corn is now

Diseased Cattle to be Slaughtered.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept, "a. The
purpose of the State Live Stock
Commission to slaughter the 5000
head of cattle at the distilleries in
this city, on the theory that many
of them are afflicted with pleuro-
pneumonia, is to be strictly carri-
ed out. This is in spite Of the
protests by prominent cattlemen
and private experts, who deny that
any contagious pleuro-pneumoDir
exists whatever. Mr.. Pearson, OF
the Live Stock Commission, said
ave intend to have every one of
them slaughtered, ind we will
make n separate inspection Of the
lungs of each of the animals.
Those whose organs show signs IF
pleuro will be burned, but the
others will be sold for beef for
whatever is bid for them.
Mr.. Pearson added that he ex-
pected to confer with the packers
with reference to the quarantine
which he says will surely be levied
against Chicago cattle within
short time. 81 suspect" he said
that Wisconsin, Iowa and Michis:
gan wall quarantine our cattle as
soon as their veterinarians, who
were down here to satisfy them
selves of the nature of the disease
and its prevalence, make their re-
ports. This will probably occur
within a week.

Clover on the Farm.

No other thing on the farm so
thoroughly marks the progress of
agriculture as the rapidly increas-
ing use of red clover. The two fold
benefits of clover are so obviously
manifested to every farmer that
the increase in its use is not sur
prising. Its wonderful yield as a
forage crop makes it one of the
most desirable to raise, whether
to be fed green or cured in the
shape of rowen. So rapidly does
it grow that it is no uncommon
thing to cut three crops during a
single season; and no farmer ex-
poets to cut less than two crops.
Should the farmer choose to turn
the stock on the field it seems al
most to replace the days picking
by its growth at night. The bet
ter way is to cut and feed it in the
rack, and given amount of ground
will feed fully twice as many cat
tie as when allowed to roam over
it.
A very important value of clover
consists, however, in its great
efficiency as a means of recuperat-
ing the land; and here is the main
evidence that its increased use
shows an advanced stage in the
science of agriculture. First, the
use of fertilizer of any kind is a
confession that the land is not as
good as it is in the power of man
to make; and, next, the use of
clover as a means of enriching the
ground, shows that farmers are
studying economic management of
their lands.
1t is claimed by some that no
farmer can afford to pillow under a
good crop of clover as fertilizer,
but that it should be fed to cattle
and the manure from the cattle
put back on the land with the
growth of these cattle are together
of more value than the crop of
green manure. Admitting this
claim, the roots of the clover, when
allowed to grow two or three years
will benefit the soil by penetrating,
perforating and aerating the sub
soil, so as to increase the yield OF
a wheat crop that may follow at
least twenty-five, and often fifty
per cent, on heavy clay soils.
Whatever view may be taken of
the subject, there is no crop that is
so generally growing in favor with
the generally growing in favor
with the general farmer East, West,
North or South, and there are few,
if any, crops that will result in So
few disappointment as will the
common red clover.-J. W., in
prairie Farmer.

Crooks of butter to be kept fer
several months says the " United
States Dairyman, " should never
be placed upon the cellar bottom.
This causes two degrees of temp
erature in the crock, which will
be at the expense of the quality
of the butter at the top. The crooks
will keep their contents far better
if placed at least foot from the
cellar bottom upon a bench and a
thick wooden cloth thrown over it.

A COW is milk producing ma

A few tubs of poor butter in an

1t is useless to attempt to keep
fowls proftably without giving
them good attention.
Make harness fit properly and
horse can wear it without distress,
provided thatit is also kept decent

as best you can, feed so as to make
special manures to meet the de-
mand.

A teaspoonful of clear lime
water, or a raw egg put in the

You cannot make good butter
from poor food any more than you
can make a silk purse out of a
sow's ear.
Make your butter and cheese as
good as possible, and then make
the same effort to sell them to the
best advantage.
Souring cream too much before
churning, causes a separation of
the butter fats and does not add to
the quality of the butter.
All profit from dairy COW
comes from the food over and
above that which is necessary to
sustain the mere functions of life.
Grass is of the first Importance
in dairying operations. The quail
ty and quantity of butter and
cheese is largely traceable to the
pasture.
1t often happens that fine
specimens of fruit hang too high
to be reached from the ground.
and with too slender a support to
place ladders against. Various
pickers have been devised for
picking them, but most of them
are Objectionable on account OF
the iron sides to the baskets bruis,-
ing the delicate fruits. "Th.a
Country Gentleman" recommends
a good and simple picker, ono
made by firmly tying a small
basket or canvas bag holding "a
quart or two to the upper end of a
light pole about the size of the
handle of a common mandrake.
The pressure of the basket handle
on the fruit will loosen it into the
basket without bruising.
A scraper is good thing to
have about every farm. Many
fields have little knobs and holes
that might easily and cheaply
be levelled by the use of the
scraper. If much soil is taken
from any place, the manure cart
must follow after the scraper. A
depression of any considerable
extent must, of course, be drained.
Even little surface drainage will
often accomplish wonders.
Always gather your own tomato
seeds, selecting the earliest and
smoothest specimens from the
variety which you may prefer. 1t
may be advisable to pick these
fruits for seed before they are
fully ripe, for it is proclaimed as
fact that earliness is promoted
by seed from immature fruit.
Resources of the soil do not end
abruptly at four or five inches in
depth, yet there are hundreds of
farms where all beneath is terra
incognita because no attempt has
ever been made to explore.
