FACTS FOR FARMERS.


the hoe is sometimes better for de-
stroying weeds than to dig down few
inches
"A bushel Of corn is worth nearly
three bushels of oats for fattening
hogs or other stock, but oats make a
better food, owing to the larger pro-
portion of nitrogen and mineral mat
ter contained therein.
Loss of rest at night is as trying
to animals as to humans, and especial.
ly to horses that have worked during
the day. The windows should have
mosquito netting to protect against in.
sects in the stable.
--Buckwheat is one OF the most
staple article of poultry food 1t is
very fattening and stimulating. 1t is
not largely used >ig this country for
poultry food, being somewhat scarce
and dear in many parts OF the coun-
try.
Even in summer bedding should be
provided in the stalls for all classes OF
stock that are confined at night, as
cleanliness is very important in the
summer season. The less manure in
the stalls and stables the fewer flies
and insects.
Pruning when dormant tends to
impart vigor; but if done when grow
ing or in leaf it checks growth, and,
therefore, feeble tree should never be
pl,uned after growth commences in the
spring. But healthy, strong growers
may be lightly pruned at either season.
1t is very difficult to destroy ants
or drive them away, as the substances
that are disagreeable to the ants often
injure the plants; but one of the best
remedies is to fill their holes with
strong soapsuds, to which small
quantity of kerosene has been added.
Theodore Harris, farmer living
near Fayetteville, Tenn, was riding
home in his buggy, having a scythe
for companion. The handle caught
in the spokes of the vehicle the scythe
flew up. aud Mr.. Harris throat waa
cut as neatly as if done by profess
sional.
Give the early sweet corn thor
ough hoeing MS soon as it is high
enough. The first working is the most
important as it loosens the soil, keeps
the weeds back and gives the plants
an opportunity to push ahead before
the next crop OF weeds can interfere
with them.
Cut the hay just as the seed heads
begin to form. If the seed Is allowed
to mature and become dry the plant

AS a rule white clover springs up
on land that has been well dressed with
wood ashes, and though it affords eX-
celent pasturage it is very persistent
weed if it is allowed to grow where it
is not wanted. Cutting it off only
causes it to grow more vigorously. II
should be pulled up by hand from
among the rows of vegetables.
On trees set last year no pruning
should be done this season, as the en-
tire leaf growth is needed to develop
the roots. 1t is the fashion to be
everlastingly pruning trees the second
year, especially evergreens. but 1t Is
practice to be severely condemned.
Let the trees enjoy their second years
growth unmolested, and do no trim
ming beyond the stopping of struggling
limbs by pinching the terminal buds

BEEF PRODUCTION.
Results of Experiments At the Michiga n
Agricultural College.

Agricultural College.
After series of cattle feeding e&pe'
riments conducted by Prof. johnson, Of
the Michigan Agricultural College,
and extending over three years, he
draws the following conclusions:
First-The experiments seem to in
dicate that there is but little differ
ence in the cost per pound of raising
steers of the different breeds under
the same conditions The superiority
Of the best breeds rather lies in the
early maturing qualities. which enable
the feeder to turn them off, we'll rip
ened at two instead of three years.
Second-That calves, when brought
up on the pail, when properly fed,
will make as much growth and be
equally as valuable for feeding AS ii
they were allowed to suckle their
dams.
Third-That there Is likely to be a
wide margin of difference between the
judgments of the feeder, the butcher
and the consumer when they pass up
on the bullock in the live classes, is
the carcass competition as well as in
the testing of the edible qualities OF
the meat
Fourth-That prejudice, resulting
from a lack of information, may ha
too often is, the basis of our estimatet
Of the comparative value of breeds
Fifth-The early-maturing breed.
may be kept until over-ripe, th4s
lessening the value Of the carcass for
the consumer.
Sixth-The person is very emphatic.
ally taught that average native steers
weighing from 1000 to 1900 pounds
at three years, or often much less, can
not be raised and fed with profit.
Well-bred steers weighing from 800 tc
800 pounds more at the same age, may
be. The value of good blood for beei
production can not, then, be over.
estimated. 1t only can, with good care
and skillful feeding, in these times ana
with the present markets, bridge the
margin between loss and profit for the
grower and feeder.
Seventh-That the quality of beef
produced by a combined grain ration,
in which wheat, bran, oats and some
oil-meal form the principal part, il
preferable to that produced by corn
ration exclusively. l believe these
animals would have had much less
percentage of meat valuable to butcher
and consumer if corn had entered
largely into their grain ration.
Eighth-The lesson is plainly taught
that early-maturing breeds may be
sold with most profit. perhaps at one
rear, II pushed from ths start. The
cost per pound of production Is great
ly increased each succeeding year.
Certainly under most favorable condi-
tions they SHOULD reach the limit OF
profit at from twenty-Gour to thirty
months at latest. This may be modt
fled in ordinary feeding by the fac'
that the yearling steer will need NOR
expensive food than older ones. II"
latter will consume more rough fodds'
profitably than the former.
Ninth--That the largest per cent. 81
dressed to live weight does not alwaya
indicate the best quality of meat ner
the most profitable carcass for the con
sumner. So that the commonly-re-
ceived opinion, that the steer that
shrinks least in killing is the best fof
the butcher, must be more or less
modified BY other conditions.

Good object Lesson.

The phenomenal success of our friend
Charles B. Rouss, now of New York, IS
topic for almost every paper in the United
states. The following is from the Boston
Journal;
Upon a conspicuous site in New York
CITY there is now in process Of erection a
twelve-story building Of the most approved
modern design, intended for business uses.
Upon one Of the iron pillars Of the building
printed on a piece Of brown paper which Is
tied to the pillar, is an inscription which,
reduced from phonetic to ordinary spelling,
il I'm these terms: He who builds, owns and
will occupy this marvel Of brick, iron and
granite. thirteen years ago walked these
streets penniless and $4,000 in debt. Only

poor men twenty years ago, and that many

HE WILL. Pluck adorned with ambition

Gle thrift and integrity which is more val

Itself when completed. will be a sermon in
granite and iron. The abiding hope Of this
country against anarchy and socialism and
destructive conspiracies of every kind Is the
very possibility which this building and the
business TO be carried on within it illustrate.
America is the best country in the world to-
dav. because it is the country which Is most
free from social and mercantile barriers to
success. and which offers the broadest oppor-
tunities to every ore who has pluck and IN
