DON'T NEGLECT THE PASTURES.

In the press of farm work, it is very
natural to give little or no thought or at
tention to permanent pastures. In some
sections of country, notable in New Eng
land, there are pastures that have been
subjected to the task of supplying food
for thirty to forty and more years, with
little or nothing being done to restore
any exhaustive condition. Although the
natural excavations of animals are re-
turned to the soil during the day, in case
of mich cows, if yarded during the
night, there is much that is not so re-
turned, and as consequence gradual
exhaustion follows. Many pastures are
selected because of their roughness and
the mpossibility of cultivation, and the
only means of improvement comes from
top-dressing. And because this can be
accomplished with no great amount OF
trouble, it should not be neglected to the
extent of impairing the feeding value of
the pasture. Fine manure, bone meal,
phosphate, ashes, or other fertilizing ma
terials may be employed to good pur-

Toys OF the Future,

If half of what the inventors of the
monograph claim for it comes true,
the children of the near future are GO
ing to have some wonderful toys. In
ventors are now at work on a long
list of nursery wonders, in all of which
the new mechanism is to be the main
feature. The Photographic doll will
talk, laugh, cry and sing like hui
man being. Noah's ark will contain
a drove OF neighing, braying, roaring,
lowing, barking, mewing, kissing,
cackling creatures that will rival a
menagerie. The song notes OF fine
singing birds have been preserved on
metal slips and the results combined,
SO that one may have papier mache
canary which will require no atten
ton and will sing with many times
the volume, and at many times
the length, of any bird that ever lived.
Mothers, too have the promise of q
photographic cradle, at the head Of
which the wonderful mechanism is
placed that will sing sweet lullabies
by the hour to the fretful infant,
soothing it and its tired parent to
sleep at the same time. New York

INGENUITY ON THE FARM.

To be a skilful workman should be the
ambition of the farmer as we'll as the me-
|chanic. Men of the highest attachments,
lin every calling, are always in the as
tendency. But how is it with the farmer
bin general? An idea here seems to pre-
vail, and with some degree of accuracy,
TOO, that with the farmer it is matter of
f'luck," that the successful ones are those
that are so fortunate as to inherit or
marry into a good farm, or are born with
the proverbial "silver spoon in the
mouth" in some other way. The reason
why | say that the matter of luck seems
10 influence farmers more than other
men, is that they evidently have less APP
probation for the force ard utility of
brains or skilful attachments. But TO

FEEDING EXPERIMENTS.

One of the most interesting and best
wrought-out bulletins on feeding expert
ments which have yet been issued is that
from the farm department, State agricul-
tural college, Manhattan, Kan, on an ex-
pertinent in pig feeding to test the value
of mixed shorts and bran as compared
with corn-meal for fattening grown pigs.
The experiments of Profs. Sanborn and
Henry have demonstrated conclusively
that the flesh, fat, bone, organism fact
the whole internal economy of the festive
young porker-may be materially varied
in character within comparatively wide
limits by the kind of food given, and the
experiment lately bulletined by Prof.
Roberts, and published in the Gazette of
May 10, strongly indicated the possibili-
ty of increasing the relative amount Of
lean meat in fully matured hogs by feed
ing highly heterogeneous ration. Brief
ly, it may be said that the Kansas exper-
iment-so carefully conducted and clear
ly described by Prof. Shelton-demon-
strates an appreciate advantage of the
full corn ration over the shorts bran ra-
ton in CD time of fattening, (2) average
gain per hundred weight, (3) cost per
pound average gain, and a. quality of
meat in cooking and eating. Further
more, states the bulletin, "the general
consensus of opinion was that neither in
color of flesh, marbling, nor amount of
lean meat was there any sensible differ
ence in the flesh of the two lots" Inas-
much as these experiments were conduc-
ted with fully grown 200-pound hogs, the
results reached do not materially cross
the conclusions of Profs. Sanborn and
Henry, who were working with young
pigs, but are apparently in direct contra
vention of the differences drawn by Prof.
Roberts from his experiment. Indeed
the difference of the results obtained in
the two experiments, Judging merely by
the Photographic representations, is
striking. Prof. Shelton's bulletin is so
interesting and important that the larger
portion of it will be given place in the
Gazette columns as soon as opportunity
permits, and at that time we shall revert
to the subject and institute careful in
quiry as to the bearings of this expert
ment upon Investigations already con-

BEE-kEEPING.

Few persons who are not themselves
experts i'm the business are aware of the
progress which has been made in the past
quarter of Il century in scientific bee cul-
ture. 1t is science the fine points of
which only now and then one thorough
ly masters. TO one who has done this,
agriculture is fascinating and profitable.
The department of agriculture has this
year. for the first time, undertaken to
make special statistical investigation
into the present condition and prospects
of the industry, and report of the result
will be made in October. The June re-
port says:
Among the minor branches of rural in
dustry, Bookkeeping is one of the most
important, though its prominence is not
generally recognized, from the fact that
it is almost everywhere carried on as an
incident of general agriculture, and but
rarely as leading rural occupation. Ev-
cry State and territory reports bees and
more or less honey-usually hive or a
few colonies for each farmer, rather than
extensive apiaries and extensive produc-
ton. In some localities, as in portions
of New York, Ohio, Tennessee and Cali
fornia, where existing conditions are par
ticularly favorable, agriculture is more
prominent, dominating other industries
perhaps in a neighborhood, though very
rarely the leading branch of agriculture
over any considerable area. The value
of the annual product of honey and wax
is not generally realized; they are pro-
duced more or less extensively in every
section of the country, and the aggre-
gate value is large-much larger than
that of other crops, of which more notice
is usually taken. 1t almost equals the
value of the rice or the hop crops, falls
but little short of the buckwheat product,
exceeds the value of our cane molasses,
and of maple syrup and sugar. 1t large
ly exceeds the aggregate value of all our
vegetable fibers except cotton, and in
1879 was half as large as the wine prod
uct of the year.
The latest official record of production
by States is the return of the national
census for the year 1879. 1t made the
honey production 25,743,2Os pounds, and
wax 1,1O5,6S9 pounds. This Office, after
carefully studying all available data of
local values and market prices, estimated
the average farm value of the honey at
% cents per pound and the wax at 80
cents, making the aggregate value Of api-
arian products, at the place of produc-
ton, sG,O2S,3 s3."

SUMNER FARM DIET.

The summer time is the season of the
hardest work on the farm, but it is also
the time when all enjoy more of fresh,
pure air than at any other, and it should
therefore be the most healthful. What
diseases do occur in summer are chiefly
due to errors in diet. If man keeps his
stomach in good condition and his blood
in active circulation, he need not be sick
during hot weather. The old tabled land
of perpetual summer, where youth also
was perpetual, had as much basis of
truth as this. Barring excess in any way
men are much less likely to die during
warm weather than at any other season
of the year.
Sickness of the stomach and bowels are
most common, not in the hottest wealth
err, but when heat is alternated by chills.
There may be laxness of bowels from eat
ing fruit, but unless the subject is hard
at work, this is not to be deprecated
The fact that laxative fruits and vegeta-
bles are most plentiful in summer indi-
Gates them as the appropriate foods for
this season. They are not to be the ex-
elusive foods. Hard workers either with
brain or body need some more strength
ening nutrition. The coarser parts of
wheaton grain, or the entire grain ground
together. are the ideal food for summer
for hard workers. Oats also ground and
cooked so as to be palatable are nearly
as good as wheat. Where either or both
of these can be had meats in summer
will not be much needed. The fat pork
that is the staple twice day on so many
country tables may be needed to supple
ment deficiencies in the vegetable diet.
constitute liberal part of the diet, there
need be no deficiencies to supplement.
Peas and beans are also excellent, and
scarcely less so for strength giving when
green, as in summer, than when in their
dried state. OF course green peas and
beans require some extra care over the
field crop grown to sell as grain. But
they are as important parts of the garden
as any others, and for healthful nutri-
ton are perhaps more so. There is pop
ular prejudice against some kinds of veg
etables, especially green cucumbers, as
being unhealthful, but if judgment is
used in eating them, and the mans or
woman's stomach has not been previous
ly debilitated, they will do no harm. 1t
is the previous neglect of the laws of
health, rather than the unhealthfulness
of different kinds of food, that is mainly
responsible for sickness in the summer
