FARM AND GARDEN.
The Care of Seeds.

Former generations of gardeners be-
slowed much thoughtful care upon saw
ing seeds, whereas few nowadays think
of saving any. 1t is quite possible to
err either way, as it is certain that very
many kinds or varieties may be bought
more cheaply or, ct any rate, more true
to name than they can be saved, while,
on the other hand, many do well to save
the required number of certain varieties
which cannot always be purchased. AS
rule home-saved seed, if kept in dry
place, rarely fail to terminate more
surely and strongly than do those sup
piled by the seedsmen, the latter not al
ways being in a position to send out new
or well-ripened seed. In dull, wet sea-
sons it is almost impossible to properly
harvest the seeds Of various vegetables,
and the private grower ought, when
there is every prospect of the seed crops
in the fields being very late and of
doubtful quality, to save as many for
himself as possible. Take peas for in
stance. The bulk of those for seed are
grown in the open fields and without
any stakes, and when lying long time
on the ground in dull, wet weather
proper ripening is almost out of the
question. In private gardens, however,
it is possible to ripen seed even in the
dullest summer yet experienced, provid-
ed always the attempt is not made very
late in the season. - Chicago Times.

results from allowing the LIQUID excre-
ment to escape in the stable. This liquid
manure and the soluble portions of the
solid part, are the most valuable In fact
nothing that is used as manure, either
the commercial or the barnyard kind,
can be taken up by plants, except after
being solved by water. How necessary,
therefore, that all that may be liquid
should be conserved.
Beside the escape of fertilizing matter
by leacGing away, there is too often Sc
rious loss during the heating of the pile
by the escape of the gases in the process
of fermentation. The chief loss here is
in the shape of costly nitrOgen-always
as ammonia. To prevent this, add al
ternate layers of strong loan and manure,
as the mass is laid up. The loan will
absorb and hold the ammonia
To prevent the loss of the LIQUID por-
tons of the manure by teaching, select
place where there is close clay soil.
Form this, dishing to the center, and
puddle the bottom by tramping with cat
tie when wet This will render the
bottom practically water tight. Now if
in the center well is dug, say three feet
deep, and covered to keep the solid ma
nure from entering, then if some common
suction pump is placed therein, and the
manure laid up regularly all around, the
liquid may DE pumped over the pile from
time to time, assisting materially in rot
ting the whole equally. Manure thus
made is worth ton for ton three or four
times that made in the manner common
with too many farmers. Prairie Farmer.

"OId Hickory"

The story of how General Andrew
Jackson happened to be called "Old
Hickory" may be new to some of our
readers:
During the Creek War he had bad
cold. and his soldiers made for him a
shelter of hickory bark. The next
morning a tipsy soldier, not knowing
who was under the bark, kicked it over.
AS the General, speechless with rage,
struggled out of the ruins, the soldier
yelled:
"Hello, Old Hickory Come out of
your bark and take drink"
When the soldiers saw Jackson shak-
ing the bark from his uniform they gave
three cheers for "Old Hickory" and the
name stuck

Feeding Pigs.

Professor T. Hunt of the Illinois Col
lege Farm concludes as follows in sum-
ming up the results of his experime nts
In feeding pigs:
I. 1t required Is. 80 pounds of skim
milk to produce one pound of pork
when fed with cornmeal in ratio II Z to
fattening hogs.
2. Skim milk could not be economically
fed to hogs unless it was waste product
which could not be otherwise utilized.
3. 1t required on an average 4 pounds
of shelled corn to produce one pound of
pork during an average period of four
weeks, or one bushel produced 10!
pounds.
4. 1t required a. pounds of cornmeal
to produce one pound of pork, or one
dry produced 128 pounds of pork.
>. When fed dry, shelled corn is more
economical than cornmeal to feed to
fattening hogs.
6. 1t required :! pounds or one-fourth
bushel of ground oats to produce one
pound of pork, when fed with equal
parts by weight of cornmeal.
Z. One bushel of corn is worth nearly
three bushels of oats as food for fatten-
ing hogs.
s. Corn-fed pigs gained about A.
pounds per week, and ate about twenty
one pounds of corn per 100 pounds of
live weight.
8. The gain for the amount of food
consumed decreased during fattening.
10. Pork was produced during the
cold weather, with corn at twenty ight
cents per bushel, for less than three
cents per pound.
II. An insufficient food supply for
two weeks caused a very considerable
loss in feeding thereafter.
-. Indian corn is the most economical
pork producing material during the
Winter months in regions where ex-
tensively grown.

Fall or Spring Ploughing.

A correspondent of the Rural Nea0
Yorker thus discusses the question:
would plough this fall just as soon as
the ground is damp enough, and l would
plough very deep. If ploughed this fall
the roots will soon die and rot, and the
frosts of winter will help to pulverize
the sod. Another advantage of fall
ploughing is the destruction of worms
that are slowed away for winter.
have very little sympathy with the idea
of the soil getting manure from the winds
or frosts Of winter. They only tend to
harmonic the manures that are already
ofmanure. Should this piece be left to
be pIoughed in spring it would have to
thaw out and then dry, and by that time
the grass would get start and in order
to kill the grass it would have to be
ploughed shallow Then if a dry sum-
mer should follow the sod would not rot
and it would be very difficult to cultivate
and a hight crop would be the result.
Now l would say to young farmer, If
he wishes q lesson that will last him the
balance of his farming life, let him cut
ditch above this piece that will keep off
all surplus water; then let him take half
of the piece and plough it this fall as
deep as two or three horses can draw the
plough. and next spring, as soon as the
land is dry enough to get team on it,
let him comp ence to harrow. Once a
week or more will not hurt until plant
ing time, and if he has the rig hit kind of
harrow he can harrow until the corn is
large enough to plough. With regard to
the other half let him plough it next
spring, and follow the same course, and
note the results, and am sure it will be
one that will last him.
In regard to the idea that the freshly
TUNED sods would help the corn more
than anything else, l am surprised that
a farmer of any experience would adj
vocate such theory. How could corn
be planted or cultivated to any advantage
on freshly turned sods: l am in favor of
planting corn in freshly stirred land, but
1 want it freshly stirred with good
steel-tooth harrow.

Cupid's Fatal Wounds.

Seraphine Roth, a girl of twenty
three, suddenly died at her home in New
York a short time ago. The physicians
saw she died of heart disease. For the
past six months young man has been
paving her devoted attention. On the
day Of her death he made an offer of
marriage which she blushingly accepted,
and he promised TO call that evening to
make arrang ements for the ceremony
After he had gone her heart began to
futter and for a short time she seemed TO
be treading on air. Then she became i'll
and laid down, thinking it would pass
away. But the illness never left her, for
two hours later she was dead. Her sud
den Joy at her sweetbearts proposal had
killed her. Cincinnati Enquirer.

While milk is standing for cream to
rise, the purity of the cream, and con-
sequently the fine flavor and keeping of
the butter, will be injured if the surface
of the cream is exposed freely to air
much warmer than the cream.
Do not pack pears, grapes or any fruit
in bran, TO keep during winter. The
bran causes the fruit to ripen very fast.
Place in bran if yon desire a fine color
and quick ripening, but examine often
or the fruit will get overripe-
The live weight of cow decides her
ration of support, 1t should be equal to
two and one half per cent in dry food
matter, or not less than thirty pounds
per day of good hay or its equivalent in
grain, straw, ensilage or roots for 1000
pound cow.
AS milk is an animal secretion manu-
featured by the COW, it must be evident
that anything which worries, frets or
torments the cow, or renders her uneasy
or uncomfortable, will certainly lessen
the quantity and affect the composition
of her milk.
The flies which annoy horses so much
may be kept from the animals by
sprinkling the litter with solution of
two ounces of carbolic acid in a pailful
of water and Dy sponging the horse with
a little of the solution mixed with an
equal quantity Of kerosene oil.
The best and richest milk is found to
be produced just after growth ceases,
and while the vitality is strongest. When
a COW has reached that age when she be-
gins to lose vital force, her secretions of
milk becomes less perfect, Just as her
digestions and assimilation do.
Do not neglect your strawberry beds.
Clean out the weeds and mulch them.
A good working, followed by generous
supply of manure, then good coating of
straw, applied withia the next thirty
days, will insure good crop of berries
next year. extyear's berries are formed
this year.
A Southern paper says the percentage
of loss from cold is heavier among South
ern stock than Northern, as is shown by
government statistics. Shelter for cattle
in winter is demanded by both humanity
and economy. Unsheltered stock is I'M
profitable stock, and indicates cruel and
thrIftless owner.
The black rot in the fruit of tomatoes
is caused by the same fungus which
produces rot in potatoes. The tomato Is
closely related to the potato. and is
subject to this worst of disease, which
affects the latter plant. A remedy is to
use only artificial fertilizers and to apply
a weak solution of sulphate of iron to the
soil.
Professor W. A. Henry recently made
an experiment with three cows fed on a
ration costing seventeen cents per day
which resulted as follows: A grade
Short horn made thirty four cents worth
of butter per day; half-blood Jersey,
forty-five cents, and a Jersey of pure
blood fifty-six cents. They were all in
about the same stage of milking.
