Things Told by Others.

A farmer tells that he prevents hia
cows froln jumping fence by cutting
off the lower eyelashes. He says: 1T
seems that long hair Immediately above
and below the eye regulates the sight
hence with the lower lashes cut close
fence looks high and vico versa, with
the upper ones cut close fence looks
low"
Pacific Farmer cautions everybody
against striking at bees.
A New England farmer says: "A part
Of my Sheldon pear trees last season
were pruned to thin the fruit. Th6un-
pruned trees produced four pears where
the pruned ones produced enc. but the
one was as heavy as the four, and when
sold brought four times as high a price. !"
The World says: There are some varie-
ties of trees that may have the earth
heaped up around them to almost any
height without injury, OF which syca-
mores and willows furnish good exam
Piles. Many others would be killed by
the same treatment Just how much or
how long fruit trees will stand banking
up without injury cannot be told with
out making the exeriment, but it is
thought unsafe to subject them to un-
natural conditions very long, and on the
first intimation of injury some other
method Of protecting them from mice
should be adopted.
Professor Alvord says: looking over
my records, / find that with cows of like
age and breeding, those which calved in
September and October gave from SEQ to
1000 pounds of milk more per year than
those that were fresh in the s,,ii;,'.

In the last issue OF vick's Monthly
Magazine attention ID called TO tho re-
markalie statement made at late meet
ing Of farmers in Boston, and corrobo-
rated by several asparagus growers. Tho
statement was that asparagus may be
grown on unmanured soil. On tho aspar-
agus ground of Messrs. Coolidge, Joshua
and John, who grow some of tho best
asparagus that goes 60 the Boston mar
ket, no manure at all has been used for
ds1east ten years. other than the tops,
and Il liberal annual dressing of salt,
usually taken from pork or fish barrels
People wero long prevented from raising
this most excellent vegetable because Of
the l,repostcrous requirements laid down
by those who first wrote about it. Tho
fact is. tl:at It Is The most easily grown
and sinll4est IN its requirements Of any
vegetable. iie cliief requirements are
dry, warm, fertile soil, some shelter from
high winds, and room enough for its
mass of roots About four feet by two
is the preferred distance apart. A bed
will last lifetime once planted and not
abused. The growth and size of the
sprouts depend much on tho full, unin-
jured growth of the tops after cutting
ceases, about 1nidJunc, when green peas
come in. Manure enables more good
sprouts to be grown OH less area, and
often tenderer. but not richer.

Roots and Vegetables for Fowls.

If poultry fanciers t; Il breeders would
realize how valuabi. and succulent q
provision for fowl stoe.; rltabagas beets,
potatoes and carrots are, when cooked,
either boiled or steamed, and mixed
with the oatmeal and corn meal given
the birds, this excellent style Of root
feeding would be far more generally
practiced, and to the certain improve
ment of the ordinary condition of the
birds. All experience with the above
mentioned roots, as we recommend their
use, has proved highly satisfactory,
whenever and wherever the experiment
has bcen tried with our knowledge, says
Poultry Yard
With cattle, with COWS, with sheep, or
with swine, this course has for years
been followed, among our most cconom-
ical live stock breeders, to grand advar-
tage. The benefit to poultry is similar.
And we advise all who have never tried
the plan we now Suggest to give their
attention TO this subject and so save
money in feeding their fowls, while they
render either their old OF their young
stock in every way more comfortable,
thrissg ani moro healthy than by tho
ms.,:ss which are ordinarily employed.

Vegetable seeds Of most kinds
are still good at the end ofthe Sec
ond year.
Seed and plant catalogues are
suggestive reading at this season.
A wrench and one or two tools
for making repairs are easily carried
in the farm wagon and come very
handy at times.
Small Potatoes boiled and mixed
into the warm mash given in the
morning will help poultry along
through the next two months. :.
A little charcoal occasionally is
considered good for both swine and
poultry.
After washing horses feet and
legs they should be thoroughly
dried, otherwise cracked heels, ETC.,
are invited.
Ventilation should exist in well
regulated stables, but draughts
should be unknown.
The period of cheapest growth
in an animal is before the animal
natures.
An ingenious farmer and his boys
can put together variety Of sim
pie tools and convenicnces for farm
use in these comparatively leisure
days.
Tincture of asafetida is said to
keep rabbits from attacking trees.
1t may be mixed up with clay and
water and applied with brush.
When laying pullets are purchas-
cd they frequently cease to lay on
account Of the change Of house, run

With care ducks will often lay
we'll through the winter; give them
hot food as far as possible, also
boiled corn the last thing at night,
when it is cold weather. Do not
forget the grit; they require it as
much as fowls, but it should not be
SO large as that given to fowls.

Professor Henry. of the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station, has been conducting
some very interesting experiments In
grape growing. Great amounts of grapes
from other states are imported into Wis
consin. Professor Henry's experiments
indicate that this is needless. The win
ter climate Is too severe for apple trees;
but the flexible grape vino can be buried,
and there are many kinds Of good grapes
that ripen In Wisconsin summers. Del
aware, Concord, Worden, Salem and
other of the Rogers grapes all do well II
protected during winter. Protection, at
least to the extent Of throwing the vines
on the ground, Is needed in localities
where the winters are much less severe
than they are in Wisconsin.
