Measuring Hay.

There is so much difference in the
quality of hay that it is impossible TO
decide the matter accurately. It is
generally believed that 400 cubic feet
in q large barn taking it right through,
or 500 on long, wide. deep scaffold,
will represent ton. When the hay
is cut early, is stored evenly over the
NOW, is well trodden when stored
away, aud is allowed to settle two OF
three months before measuring, per
haps it will hold out at the above fig
ures. When grass is allowed to stand
until nearly ripe before cutting it
will occupy nearly, if not quite, TWEEN
ty-five per cent. more bulk, especially
on a scafold, than the early cut, and
require about that many more cubic
feet for a ton. Coarse hay, as tim
othy and clover, will not weigh as
heavy, bulk for bulk, as that which is
fine like common prairie or wild hay.
It is much more satisfactory to both
buyer and seller to weigh the hay
when possible. In estimating by
measurement, multiply together the
figures representing the length and
width. and height of the hay, and di-
vide the product by the number oil
feet in a ton. For example, If the
hay is forty feet long. sixteen feet
wide and eighteen feet from the bot
tom to the top of the NOW, and
and the bulk agreed is 400 feet to the
ton, the NOW will contain 40 times 16
times Is equals $40 cubic feet; H.
$40 divided by 400 equals % tons and
$50 feet, or % As tons. It would re-
quire considerably more than 400 Gu
bic feet from the top of such a NOW
for ton; while at the bottom it will
have become packed SO soldily from
the great weight above it, that 4OC
cubic feet will weigh considerable
more than 1000 pounds.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
ing

Dispose of all surplus cockerels while
they will pass as spring chickens.
If we take the weight of the eggs in
consideration, the duck lays more than
the hen.
Did you notice that big thistle when
you were out in the garden yesterday?
Go and get it and burn it before the seeds
fly all over the garden.
All forage and grain crops may be pre-
served in the silo. The siIo adds very
materially to the palateableness, digesti-
bility and nutritiousness of many articles
of food and detracts from none.
Camphorated oil is one of the best
things for roup or swelled head; you can
get it at any druggists and apply it with
the finger to the indamed parts. Vinegar
reduced one-half with warm water is also
good.
It is not the number of acres that
man Skins over that makes him either a
large or a successful farmer. It is what
he makes net, above cost Of production,
for his own toll and interest on the CAPT
tai invested.
The labor of the garden should be
managed like the labor of the farm. If
the cornfeld becomes weedy extra help
is hired to clean it out; the boys are not
expected to do it out of reasonable work
inc hours. It should be the same with
the garden.
Don't throw away the chicken drop
pings. The spring will bring forth a
i i
shrubbery thrive wonderfully when the
roots are sprinkled lightly with it. Some
reduce to liquid form before applying
to tender plants.
Once in full year should be consid
cred often enough for mixer to bear a
calf, and for younger COWS once in from
fourteen to sixteenth months. Older
COWS who may be considered fully de-
veloped and of established habit, COWS
eight or ten years of age may, if their
calves are of great value, be put to rapid
breeding.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
RYE FOR PAsTURAGE.

Rye sown in September will make dur
ing the autumn enough grazing to be
profitable. This grazing has an extra
value because it comes when other green
feed is very scarce. The rye may be
grazed during the winter when not bur-
led by snow, and pasturing on it may be-
gin earlyin spring and continue until the
last of May, when the ground can be
broken and put in corn. A better crop
of corn will be grown than if the rye had
not been on the ground. Or the rye may
be pastured until June IS, and the ami
mails taken off, when it will set consider
able grain. The land may then be put
IN turnips. Rye used in this way makes
enough feed to pay we'll for the use Of
the land, and also purifes and recuper-
ates the ground. 1t can be used to es-
pccial advantage in corners cut off by
creeks, or otherwise SO formed that cult
Tation is difficult.

E. D. Richards, writing to the Anaeri-
can Cultj0utor, says: In the earlier DAYS
it was the general practice among dairy
farmers to allow the calf to run with its
dam during the first. season. Such a
method IS too expensive for these days.
Again, 1t works great damage to the COW
If she IS to be kept for the dairy. When
the dams bag becomes healthy and in
normal condition, the sooner the calf is
removed from her side the better for the
COW.
In order to give the calf a good start,
1t IS we'll to let it drink part of the moth
er milk warm from the COW, but after
few days give skim milk. It is advisable
to scald the milk for few days to pre-
vent sOurs, which are inclined to trouble
calves raised by hand. Some dairymen
feed calves upon whey and turn them out
to grass. Such calves, if they live at all
until time to 90 to the barn are seldom
worth Wintering. Long experience and
observation have confirmed me in the
belief that the best and most, successful
way to raise calves by hand is the English
custom Of keeping them in the barn the
first season; give them a small yard where
they may 90 TO and from their pen at
pleasure and take the fresh air. Keep
their quarters strictly clean, feed them
upon skim milk either sweet or sour, [
prefer it sour, give them all the good hay
that they viii eat, and they will soon learn
to eat quite quantity. Milk does not
take the place of water. They should
have fresh water daily. A few ground
oats daily viii give them a fine start the
first season.
The future Of any animal depends
greatly upon the start it gets the first
year. Calves need salt. The best way
to salt them is to place lump of mineral
salt within their reach then they will lap
it as they need. A box of fresh loan is
also an excellent thing to place within
their reach. Calves fed upon milk crave
something of this sort. If the floor is
bedded with dry sand, it will guard
against lice, which are a deadly foe to
calves or older cattle. The main point
which [ wish to call attention to is the
benefit to be derived from keeping calves
in the barnyard the first year in prefer
ence to turning them to grass. have
never seen calves which are put out to
grass as forward and strong in the fall as
those which are kept in and treated as
above indicated.

used for different state ceremonials, the
people given a sight of them, and at the

ABOUT Shooting HORSES.

A correspondent of the Journal Of Agrt-
culture says: I am convinced. both by ex-
perience and observation, that shoeing
horses Is not only a great Inconvenience
but / also say it is a nuisance to the horse.
Of course this is intended for farmers, as
city horses that are constantly kept on
hard, stony payements need to be shOd.
But a farmers horses, for either farm
work or road, do not need to be shOd
constantly. The less the better, and my
belief is. no shooting still better. The
horse in its natural state has a good hoOf
and by a little application and patience it
can be made to be as pliable as rubber
and as hard as steel. The horses in Ice
land are not shOd and they travel over
stony roads or ice as easily as our horses
travel on our smooth roads with their
costly new steel shoes for which hundreds
OF dollars are annually spent. In our
Western States we seldom see q macadam-
lied road, and even then there are not
many farmers that keep team for spec
ial road use. Many farmers make the
mistake in lelieving that if they want to
keep a nimbIe footed horse that they
have to keep him shod But this is
grave mistake. To keep a horse con-
stantly shod he needs 60 renew his shoe
ing at intervals. Such is dangerous
and liable to injure the hoof, and
perhaps MAIN him for fife. Many
horses legs are ruined when young
on account of too frequent and care
less shooting. BY negligence horse
is sometimes allowed to wear the
old shoe for long period without re-
newing. Such negligence is abusing the
horse greatly, and very often is the cause
of lame feet. And again, how can horse
be worked with the same shoes on, on dry
or muddy roads, or working on soft
ploWed ground without being quite ex-
hausted at times? [ have six year old
team that never had a shoe under their
feet and never will have as long as they
are in nv possession. Still [ never hest
tate to hitch them to the pillow or buggy,
or drive them over soft or hard roads in
their own shoes. My other horses have
to be shOd once in a while because they
were used to it when younger, or ther
hOofs will crack or become sore. But |
make the practice never to shoe young
horses, and | believe that they will do
better than those that are kept constantly
shod. A young horse has always good,
sound hoofs. unless accidents occur, and
by little attention they can be kept
sound as long as the horse lives. The
trouble lies in young horses when they
are shod too young. Young horses as a
general thing are vigorous and we take a
fancy that they can be driven hard be-
cause they are young, and to keep their
hoofs and legs sound they must be kept
shod. My advice is: Do not drive the
young horse too much at first. Take the
older horses for road use and leave the
younger horses for farm use till they have
reached the stage of maturity. This will
be the means Of saving many dollars an
nually. When the weather is dry good
thing is to lead the horse in a pool of
water for an hour or so once IN while
SO as to give the hoof thorough soak

HARMFUL WHITEWASH.

I have long distrusted the broad
claims made for the much-recommehded
whitewashing of poultry-houses for pre-
yentiOn or determination of the vermin
which it is claimed, says O. S. Bliss in
the New York Tribune, habitually infest
them and their occupants. | have had
no personal experience with it, because |
never fail to accomplish the purpose by
easier, cheaper and more permanently eff
fectivc means than the advocates of
whitewashing have ever ventured to
claim for it. [ have, however, taken
pains to look the matter up, without
prejudice, and am now persuaded that so
far from accomplishing any real good of
itself, the whitewash is actually harmful.
1t may be admitted that some immediate
benefit appears to be gained as would be
the case with any other substance so
thoroughly applied to every crack and
crevice, but it remains true, nevertheless,
that the whitewash is a protector rather
than an exterminator of the vermin.
This very day l examined a whitewashed
house and found confirmation of this
view Carbolic acid, kerosene and var
ious other things which of themselves
are destructive of insect life are put into
the whiteWash, but their destructive
qualities are all more or less neutralized
and rendered ineffective by dilution.
In few hours the wash becomes dried
and as harmless as sand, every destruc-
tive agent in it being effectually locked
up But the habitable retreat of the in
sects have been increased in number a
hundred or thousand fold. Cracks and
other places without number which be-
fore were uninhabitable by them have
had the dust wiped out, or wet down,
and protecting scale of whitewash hung
up before them, thus creating many a
new indus where none existed before.
If a house is really infested and it be
comes desirable to clean it out to get rid
of the yermin, it is easier, cheaper and
far more effective to apply strong soap
soaps with or without the addition Of
kerosene, spirits of turpentine, or any
other Of the agents employed to render it
more effective. Such wash not only
kills the vermin. but detaches the accre-
tons which protect them and leaves
free open space, which is greatly prefera-
ole to one partly filled with anything,

except it be fine, dry dust in which in
sects cannot live. If the cracks and
other open spaces in poultry house are
to be filled at all it should be with NOR
tar containing sufficient amount of plaster
OF paris, raw or calcined, or other similar
substance, to make the filing solid. But
l repeat what have often said, that there
is no occasion for any Of these things
when the supply of dust is what it should
be in every case.
