THE ORCHARDIST.

Care Of a Young Orchard.
In starting young orchard much care ID
required for Q few years to protect the
trees from insects. Twice Q year they
should be washed with strong solution of
whale oil soapsuds, to which little green
COW manure should be added. After going
over the trees once with . WOODEN cloth
dipped in this solution, rubbing the trunk
and some Of the largest limbs, next take up
some earth on the cloth and give the tree .
smart rubbing, finally dipping again In the
solution and dressing the trees down thor.
ouQhiy. This treatment not only destroys
all insects, but gives the bark beautiful,
thrifty appearance. Neither grass nor
weeds should be allowed to grow around
the tree, but q liberal mulch should be
placed about each tree to prevent the soil
from drying up. Az the tree begins to

THE DAIRYMAN.
Get the Best.

When the sattleman il looking for feed
ers he tries to get the best; when the
farmer il looking for team he takes tim,
to look around for . good one, but when
he wants cow, why, anything will do that
has four legs, one at each corner, and q
''bag." This is all wrong; the COW should
be selected with more care than any othe,
animal on the farm, for good one pays 9
profit right along, whereas poor one will
in the course Of few yearb bring hel
owner heavily in debt. It will not be 9
debt that he can measure exactly in dollars
and cents, In fact he may not know that he
is in debt, takes it for granted the COW ia
pay ng her way, and never seriously con.
siders as to whether or not he ought to
have little cash to the cows credit ut the
end Of year. The difference between q
poor COW and good one is greater than
between the good and bad of almost any
other animal on the farm.
With good COW on the farm there ought
to be enough milk aud butter for family use
and some to sell. But to get this result 9
few things are essential. Good food and
plenty of it; don't try to get something fol-
nothing when dealing with the COW; with
the horse you may make up with the whip
for scant feed, for time, but with the COW
Give her warm stable and if possible 9
box stall in it we'll bedded, 80 that she can
keep herself clean. Feed and milk at regu.
lar hours-you will soon find the COW can
tell the time-make friends with her, and
you will see that she is q paving animal,
you will be sure of it.
After you find out the capabilities of q
good cow. get another. and keep on getting
'another" until you have as many as the
farm will support; then you will be dairy
man, and by the time you get too old to
work you will have saved enough profits
from your dairy to keep you in comfort
until the time comes when you, instead Of
the cow, will kick the bucket"
If you have a neighbe~ who is rather
quick tempered with his animals, and he
should happen 10 have COW that is $50
blamed "skeery" tha5 you can't do anything
with her, If she looks all right otherwise,
buy her. Take her home, treat her like q
lady, be very polite 10 her, and the chances
are you will have a very good butter COW.
A good butter COW is one that is nervous
and easily make ''skeery," but if treated
right will be one of the gentlest animals in
the world, and will expend her nervousness
in making butter. When you become the
owner of good COW, breed her 10 thor
oughbred Jersey or Guernsey bull and raise
her heller calves; you can always raise a
better COW than you can buy-unless the
price is no consideration-and the cows
you raise yourself will be free from faults

can control, and if you don't you may take
1t for granted you were not cut out for q

giving her the best care.-A. L. Crosby, in

THE STOcK-BREEDER.
Brushing ps1,sa CalOes.

oTuSHs"g pf7ss0 C0tOeS.
Every one knows the piteeus bleating
that young calf makes when separated
from it's dam. It is not alone the frequent
supply Of food that it misses, but even
more the tender fondling and loving at
where it cannot reach her, the calf soon
begins to feel uncomfortable. Watch how
the old cow fondles it, and we may easily
guess why. Every little while, with her
rough, moist tongue, she will lick its back,
neck, and sides, while the calf, though
only day, or even less, old, stands in evil
dent enjoyment of the operation. When
ever calf is pitifully bleating take soft
brush and initiate the cows action as
closely as possible. The bleating will
cease, and if the grooming is given two or
three times day this most mournful OF
Ill noises will be effectually stopped.

flashing Corn on Hogs.

Il
| There Is no surer way to waste Germ than
to feed it in the ear, hard and indigesti-

used to other and softer feed. The hogs
will not eat it we'll, as their gums are ten.
der and the hard kernels make their mouths
sore. What they do eat gives them little

ing unshelled hard corn to hogs at any
age. It is perhaps the most convenient
way for the lazy, shiftless farmers; but,
like most of his .expedients to avoid
trouble, there is no profit in it.
Cooperation in Hog Ktlltng.
The greatest part Of the work in killing
and dressing hogs is getting ready. When
brightly burning, few hogs, more or less,
make little difference. The cleaning of
the inwards makes bad muss in and around
the kitchen. Now why cannot farmers
who have each two or three hogs work to-
gether in killing and dressing them? The
proper way, of course, is to take turns year
by year, so that the little extra labor in
volved in doing tho work on their own
premises may be divided. Or one farmer
in a neighborhood might well afford to
provide superior conveniencies for hog
killing, and his neighbors could still better
afford to make a moderate but profitable
remuneration for their use.
Feeding Horses.
If the stomach of the horse were more
fully understood its feeding would be more
carefully attended to. The benefit that
comes from food comes through the pro-
cess of digestion that is carried on in the
stomach, and even while the process of
feeding is going on. In comparison with
It is claimed that the stomach Of the OK
has capacity of $50 quarts, while that Of
the horse is only about sixteen quarts; so,
as consequence, whatever is in the
stomach after it is filed must be expelled
into the intestinss if feeding is continued
In that case, if the process Of digestion is
incomplete the result is an expulsion Of
the food without serving the purpose for
which it is intended. For that reason, in
the use Of concentrated food in conneo-
ton with coarse fodder, there must be an
exercise of Judgment or the feeding will
do little good. Thus oats may be fed to
horse and followed by hay to such an ex-
tent as to expel the oats wholly from the
stomach. in which case the only benefit de.
rived is from the amount of digestion GO
ing on during this period of eating. The
Office of the stomach being to digest the
heterogeneous portion of the food, and as
stomach-full of oats contains about four
or five times as much nitrogenous matter
as when filed with hay, either the stomach
fast or the period Del Of digestion must BE-
five times as long. If concentrated food
like oats is to be fed with hay the latter
should be fed first and then the grains,
thus giving ample time for digestion be-
tween feeding.

The Best Pig-Pe,a.

A pig-sty, writes F. d. Curtis in the
Country Gentleman, can scarcely be too
warm, If It is we'll ventilated and dry. A
hot, damp, and reeking sty or pen is very
unhealthy for hogs. They should never
come from the nest steaming, or they will
surely get colds and perhaps die. Sleep
ing under straw stacks is an unhealthy
place, or piled up on top of each other; for
when this is the case, those underneath get
too hot and are liable 10 get smothered
The ground is the best floor provided it is
dry. The sty should have no floor, but be
constructed SO that the manure can be
easily taken out. Dryness can be insured
by putting ditch around the sty and rails
Ing the bottom of the bed foot or more
above the level of the ground around. A
pig pen should always be long, with the
feeding place in one end ard the bed in
another. This arrangement will help keep
both ends clean. Hogs are generally more
neglected than any other animals. whereas
they require to be carefully handled. Hogs
ara more susceptible to colds and infamms-
tory diseases than many suspect. They
cannot relieve themselves of the surplus
heat by evaporation or sweating, like some
animals, and when made hot in their nests
the surface cools too rapidly in winter and
the blood being driven in will cause internal
inflammation. The extremes should be
avoided.

TIE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION

The State Teachers Association now as
sembled in this city in annual session is
cordially welcomed by the people of Sacra-
mento. While the society is a private
one, and has no official relation to the
State whatever, it is not the less potent
or good. No body of intelligent citizens,
such as constitute this association, can
meet and debate topics relative to the
training of youth without great resulting
good TO themselves and to all the people.
The exchange of views and experiences
between the members of professional
classes is always beneficial, because it en-
larges the field of intelligence by adding
facts to the sum of knowledge. The
teachers in the schools of California are
invested with sacred and weighty trusts,
and every effort they make to qualify
themselves for the proper discharge of
their obligations ought to be heartily en-
couraged 1t is most commendable DUR
pose also to cultivate and strengthen the
confraternal relation among teachers, to
stimulate the sentiment of mutually of
interest, and encourage the spirit of help
fulness that ought to be felt by all in the
profession. The inelement weather will
probably considerably lessen the expected
audiences at the convention, and will de-
prive the body, possibly, of the counsel
and stated experience of quite number of
lis members, but the representation is al
ready such in intellect and character as to
warrant the expectation for very valuable
contributions to the science of teaching.

THE TRAIN ROBBERY

1t is now perfectly clear that the auda-
cious robbery of an express car on the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad on the mountain
division Monday night was the work of
men Of daring who are familiar with the
line Of the road, especially of the heavy
grade at the place where the robbery was
effected, and with the usual methods of
the express messengers in discharging
their duties en- route. The robbers were
certainly riding upon the top of the car;
they as certainly descended to the doors
on either side near the respective ends of
the car by rope ladders, and by seizing the
right moment, when the messengers were
separated nearly a cars length, were ena-
blcd to cover each of the young men
with pistols held close to the temple, and
simultaneously and 50 quickly, that they
were unable to make any resistance. The
rope ladders have been found hidden moi
far from the scene of the robbery, and
other evidences settle it beyond doubt that
the men rode on the top of the car, de,
scended its sides and effected an entrance
unIer cover Of deadly weapons, and having
robbed the safe re-ascended to the roof Of
the car, drew up their ladders and at a
convenient point from the platform made
an easy leap to the ground and escaped
1t was daring robbery, and as officers are
accustomed to speak of such "work," very

to test of their mettle in bringing the
perpetrators of the deed to the bar OF
