Improving q Sandy Soil.

A very sandy soil can only be improved
permanently by an admixture with soil
of another description of which clay is
much the best. Where clay can be had

much expense be Incorporated with the
sand year after year it will make fine
improvement. Swamp muck and loam
of all descriptions will be beneficial, as
well as the blowing under of green crops
wherever they can be raised for the pur-
pose, but on soils SO sandy as not to grow
grass well, the application of fertilizers
results only in transient Improvement,

Directions About tho Feeding and Care of
Young Chicks.
BroiIers are now in the market. The
early seller catches the price. Every
thing depends upon due care and feeding
of the chicks, and American Poultry
Journal tells just how to do it:
For the first twenty-four hours the
chicks needs no nourishment. Nature
supplied that in the egg. When able to
run about in the brooder-and the early
broiier is an incubator chick, of course
an egg diet is best. Mash hard boiled
yolks and mix with several times their
bulk of bread crumbs moistened in
sweet milk.
After the first week add oat meal or
corn meal occasionally. At the end of
two weeks omit the eggs gradually from
the diet Let the meal be swollen Oh
cooked. Twice week season the mush
with little red pepper, and put in some
finely chopped onions to prevent gapes.
AS the chicks become larger small grains
oats, millet, wheat screenings and
broken corn may be given. There
should be green food for the larger
chicks. Lettuce seed sown early and al
lowed to grow to an inch of leaf is an ex-
cellent forage for them. If they do not
sat it chop it fine and mix it with the
other food. A pan of calcined bone in
one of the runs is good preventive of
acidity.
The eighth or ninth week should be
given to fattening the birds. They must
then be confined in closer quarters. Feed
sparingly at first and then give all they
will pick up three times day. The
starchy and saccharine vegetables
toes and beets- form an important item
then. Above all, be cleanly in every
particular.

Sowing of Seeds.

Whenever the soil is in proper coadi-
ton to work and crumbles before the
plow, or when stirred by the spade or
fork, large share of the hardy seeds
may be sown. The majority of seeds
are sown in rows twelve to fifteen inches
apart, and it is well to have a marker
that will make burrows at these dis
tances. Nearly all of the root crops,
parsnips, early beets, carrots, onions,
both seeds and sets, leeks, etc., also rad
ishes in cold frames and in the open
ground, are best sown in this way.

Hills versus prills for Corn.

A Missouri farmer, writing to The
World, says: "Where the land is reason
ably clean, SO that the labor of keeping
the crop free from weeds will not be too
much increased, planting in drills will
commonly give the best results. The
only objection to it is that in very foul
soil, where weeds grow in great album
dance, more work with the hoe and
hands will be required than when planted
in hills, SO it can be cultivated both
ways. In drill planting the rows should
be three and half feet apart and the
stalks one foot apart in the rows, and
where the crop can be kept clean with
out too much labor with the hands the
results will be better than if planted in
hills. In all cases early cultivation is
important, SO that the weeds shall not
get such start as to become trouble

Ripening Cream.

The term 'sripening," as applied to
cream. is not properly understood, and
is liable to mislead. 1t was first used by
the late L. B. Arnold as term to indi-
cate condition of the cream in which it
is in the best state for churning for the
production of The largest quantity and
the best quality of butter. By common
consent of all expert dairymen this con-
dition of the cream is produced by a cer-

Measuring Cattle.

The following has been given as rule
of some value in determining the weight
when actual weighing is inconvenient,
but in all the rules given the weight will
vary widely with animals of the same
girth: "Cattle girthing five feet ordina-
rily weigh from $50 to 750 pounds, ac-
cording to form and fatness; for each
additional inch in girth add twenty five
pounds up to six feet, and for each inch
after six feet add fifty pounds" This is
the simplest rule known and is probably
as good Is any, but the only test that is
at ali reliable is that of the scales.

Facts About Last Years Crops.

At the beginning of a new year of ag-
gard to the principal crops of the past
season may be of interest. From these
it appears that the year 1888 was one of
medium returns. The corn crop gave
great promise until the time of earring,
when it was somewhat injured in some
sections by excessive rains, and on the
northern border by frost AS published
by the agricultural department. the re-
suit of the crop is between twenty-six
and twenty seven bushels per acre. with
an aggregate but little short of 2,000,-
100000 bushels. Much of it is deficient in
quantity. There has been nearly aver
age yield of winter wheat and a small
yield of the spring variety, aggregating
about 400, ,000, 900 bushels of an average
quality. An increased area in oats re-
suited in crop of unusual size. Other
grains We're in moderate supply. The
potato crop exceeded that of the previous
year nearly 50per cent. The cotton crop
was later in development than that of
1887, and not quite as large. The pas
turage and hay have been good in nearly
all parts of the country. As regards pas
turage on the public domain, as stated by
the late commissioner, while it has been
comparatively good the past season, it
has suffered severe injury through over
crowding by the immense herds of recent
years. In this way the grazing capacity
of these public pastures has been re-
duced, with temporary loss to meat pro-
duction and possibly permanent i'm
pairment of the resources of the range.
