FARM AND GARDEN.
Possibilities of Corn Fodder.

Perhaps no crop the farmer grows can
be the subject of more imaginative spec
ulation than corn fodder. It's possible
ties are immense. Thirty tons per acre
are easily grown on rich land, and with
the large varieties planted closely more
has been produced. Thirty tons is an
immense amount of feed. Preserved
green it will give sixty pounds day to
ten cows for 100 days. Divide this by
half or by three for moderate yield, and
it still gives far ahead of the capacity for
keeping stock by an acre of ordinary hay.
1t must be remembered, however, that
corn fodder at its best is not a perfect
ration. 1t is always deficient in the ele-
ments for making muscle and bone.
When grown in excessively large crops
corn fodder is beside watery and innu-
tritious. Considering the amount of
labor required to handle these large yields
it is better to plant so as to allow cult
walton and at least some nubbInS of ears.
Ten or twelve tons of fodder may be
grown on an acre in this way, and with,
in most cases, more profit to the feeder
than the larger and more expensive crop.

Milk Dairyin

Henry Stewart says in the american
AgricutturiSt: The production of milk
for sale is business of very large extent.
The quantity of milk sold and used for
domestic purposes by others than farmers
is unquestionably equal to one-tenth as
much as that used in butter and cheese
making. With six million farmers who
produce milk in our whole population,
and whose families comprise thirty mill
ion persons, there are as many more in
the United States who consume milk,
and estimating one quart as the daily
consumption of each family of five
persons, there must be at least million
cows kept for the production of milk for
sale. This business is always increasing
with the growth of cities and towns,
which require systematic supply.
The cows most desirable for this in
dustry are large-bodied animals, that
give an abundant yield of fairly good
milk, containing sufficient solid matter
to mark specific gravity of l.. O30 on the
scale of the lactometer. 1t will not pay
in this business to rear calves, or to have
dry cows feeding three months without
profit. A constant succession of fresh
cows must be kept up by purchase, and
the butchers. It would be more profit
able to give them away than to keep
them to rear calves. Hence costly pure.
bred cows cannot be kept, unless profit
can be made of the calves sufficient to
pay for the expenses of carrying the cows
through their dry time. The cows most
desired for this business are the half
bred Shorthorns, or grade Holstein-
Friesians. Many breeders of fine pure
bred Holsteins, which are large mixers,
and whose milk is excellent for this pur-
pose, devote their herds to the production
of milk for sale, finding a good demand
fer the calves, which sell at prices which
repay the cost of rearing them. Some
Ayrshire breeders do the same with equal
profit. But, as rule, it is
best to attend to one thing at q
time in business, and the milk
dairyman will find the best cows for his
use to be the grade ShOrthorns, Hol- !
stems, or Ayrshires. The first being the |
best cattle for beef, fattening very easily |
and rapidly when the yield of milk is
falling below a profitable point, which is
from eight to ten quarts a day; the |
second making fair beef, especially if |
they have cross of Shorthorn in their |
breeding, and the third being fairly good |
beef cattle for local consumption. Each |
kind is a good milking cow and pro-
duces a heavy, well-favored and dense |
milk which goes a long way in coloring
tea and coffee, and suits the necessities |
of consumers in every way.
In the summer the cows are pastured, |
but get their usual ration of corn meal, |
and, when the grass begins to fail, are |
fed green crops cut and carried to the |
yard, or into feeding lots where they are |
kept. The principal crop fed is corn |
fodder, grown in drills and cultivated as |
well as if planted for grain. The main

TOMATO Culture.

At meeting of New England mar
ket gardeners association one of the
members read an interesting essay on
tomato culture. He said he had tried
various dates, from January to June, for
starting tomato seed, but he considered
about March 20 the best time for the
earliest plants, and few weeks later for
the late crops. 1t is not we'll to start the
seeds too early. The plants, if held
back and checked in their growth, as
they must be when started early, are apt
to suffer from blight
To start tomato seed requires a good
heat so that the seed will como up in
four or five days, and in two weeks will
be ready to plant out, 200 to a sash, in
another bed also prepared with a good,
fresh heat, so as to keep the plants grow
ing. At the second transplanting, when
they are set about seven or eight inches
apart, they need some heat, though far
less than before, and it is usual to set
them at this time on an old heat, after
lettuce or raddish crops, raising the
planks of the frame so as to give foot
of space between the bed and the glass
for the plants to grow The bed must lie
well aired, taking the glass entirely of
IN fine weather for week or two before
setting ,out, which is done May i to
June l. Well grown plants are stocky
with branches and not over a foot high.
Before planting, the bed must be well
wet day beforehand so as to have the
loan stick to the roots.
Tomatoes will grow on very poor land
in a wet season, but to insure a good
crop they should have rich land; side
=,
excellent crops; land that has been
heavily manfred the year before will
grow better tomatoes than land freshly
MANFRED with coarse manure. He liked
to set them seven or eight feet by three or
four, the wide spaces giving room for
picking. Cultivate often and keep clean
till the vines run so as to prevent work
ing.
The few scattering tomatoes that are
borne on the ends of the plant do not
amount to much, although they often
sell for S. or more a bushel. The part
of the crop that usually brings the most
money is the first and second settings of
fruit upon the branches. The late pick
ings, though often very heavy, are usu-
ally not very profitable on account of the
low price.
Rough, gnarly fruit showed want of
thrift in the plant, often caused by rough
land or rough manure. To grow pro-
fitable crop skill in handling the plants
is required, and more depends on this
than on the seed, although some varje-
ties are earlier than 9th ers. and after all,
chance or luck has good deal to do
with growing an early crop. The tomato
is used all the year round in all civil
lied countries, and its use has become a
necessity.

Hot Water for Plants.

1t is a fortunate circumstance that a
plant will endure a scalding heat that is
fatal to most of its minute enemiC s.

the happiest restorative effects. Trees

to pour hot water freely through the
