"A farmer who has tried steamed
rye says it is the best of all grains for
fattening hogs. In forty days he SAYS
he can make hog as fat as may be
desired on such food, while one that is
thrifty can be finished ON about five or
six bushels of the food. Troy Times.
Ounce tree roots are small and
come very near the surface; it is there
fore necessary to protect them against
cold or heat by careful mulching. The
trees also require pruning like any
other fruit-trees, though this operation
is very generally neglected. Cincinnati
Times.
Lunch or tea-cake made by this
recipe is very good: One cup of sugar,
a piece of butter the size of an egg, two
cups of milk, two eggs, one quart OF
flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der and one teaspoonful of salt Bake
in good oven and eat hot. This cake
must be broken, not cut. = Western

"A correspondent of the Rur0l Netc
Yorker advises the laying out of the
garden in oblong shape, with perma-
nent fences at the ends and movable
ones at the side. so that when the gar
den is to be cultivated the side panels
can be removed, the land titled by horse,
turning on the outside of the garden,
and the fence restored.
IF we were keeping but one mature
bull at time, we would keep horse
power for him to exercise in, and would
make him do all the wood-sawing, and
as much other work on the farm as
possible. Then we would never tie a
ball in dark stall by himself, b. /
would have him in sight of and with
the herd. Treat bull like barbarian
or wild animal, and he will very likely
develop into one Prairie Farmer.
Sheep on the farm are almost q
necessity in these times of advance
ment in farming. The highest autl or.
ties on agricultural economy claim
that there must be variety in stock as
well as in crops TO attain the greate.t
success on the farm, and sheep are al.
mitted to be the best Oh foul lands,
Their size makes them very convenient
to furnish meat for the farmer family,
Their products are marketable when
there is little else on the farm to bring
in ready cash. They fit well to the
large gap between hogs and CATTLE
