UNLEACHED ASHES.

When used in drills from 600 to 1000
pounds of unleached ashes can be used to
good advantage per acre, but in making
thorough application from two to five
tons should be used. When used in
quantities, over two tons per acre, they
should be spread on top of the ground in
the fall Or early spring, when the ground
is not frozen, so that the moisture and
rains Of these seasons of the year will aid
in disSolving the potash, phosphoric acid,
lime, silica, and enable them to amalga-
mate with the soil before the planting of
seed. Otherwise the strong alkalics
coming in contact with the seeds might
spoil the crop for that year. After SOW
ing broadcast it would be we'll to harrow
in the ashes a little. Should it so hap
pen that good results did not follow the
first years application, by reason of
failure of sufficient rains to dissolve all
the chemicals in the ashes before hot, dry
weather comes on, let them alone; that
Is, make no application of other fertil-
lzers to the ground, for nothing will be
lost by their lying in the soil, and their
influence will surely be felt in the next
years crops. When once thoroughly
leached into the soil they are invaluable
in drought. think it would be we'll
for farmers who have not heretofore used
ashes to experiment for themselves by
using side by side with stable manure
and other fertilizers, a like quantity in
cost of unleached wood ashes, and then
in another field apply in cost half each
of stable manure, we'll mixed with the
soil, and as a top-dressing unleached
ashes we'll narrowed in.-Neao York In

certified the fact by means of her nose.
Blind horses, as rule, viii gallop wildly
about pasture without striking the sur
rounding fence. The sense of smell in
forms them of its proximity.
Others will, when loOsoned from the
stable, go directly to the gate or bars
opening to their accustomed feeding
grounds; and when desiring to return.
after hours of careless wandering, will
distinguish the one outlet and patiently
await its opening. The odor of that par
tlcular part of the fence is their guide to
1t. The horse in browsing, or while
gathering heritage with his lip, is guided
IN It's choice of proper food entirely by
It's nostrils. Blind horses do not make
mistakes in their diet. In the temple Of
Olympus a bronze horse was exhibited. at
the sight of which six real horses expe-
rlenced the most violent emotions. ELAN
judiciOusly observes that the most per
feet art could not initiate nature suffi-
GENTLY well to produce so perfect an ilIu-
sion. Like Plny and Pausanias, he con-
sequently affirms that sin casting the
statue magician had thrown hippomanes
upon it, which, by the odor of the
plant, deceived the horses, and therein
we have the secret Of the miracle. The
scent alone of a buffalo robe will cause
many horses to evince lively terror, and
the floating scent Of a railroad train will
brighten some long after the locomotive

VALUE OF WHEAT SCREENINGS.

The screenings of wheat as they come
from the cleaner have been analysed at
the Michigan experiment station with the
result of surprising the Western farmers,
who have been used to leaving this waste
to rot in the stock yards. This waste
contains shrunl1en and broken grains of
wheat, chess, cookie, ragweed, and other
weed seeds, with some chaff and straw
When ground, the meal was found to
contain fifteen per cent. of nitrogen COM
pounds, sixty-five per cent. of carbohy-
drates, and four per cent. Of fat, and
thus worth more for feeding than the
salable wheat. When thus ground the
seed of weeds are safely disposed of and
can never stock the land with a new
crop, and by thus using the screenings
the land will become free from the too
common weeds in a short time, for there
is no more certain way of seeding the
land with weeds than by scattering the
screenings in the yards and thus sewing
the seeds with the manure. The large
quantity of screenings disposed of by the
elevator companies may be purchased by
farmers with much advantage, as they
are sold at a very low price.-Neno York
Times.

FEED FOR YOUNG CHICKS.

When chickens are first Matched a small
quantity Of curdled milk pressed as dry as
possible makes better feed for them than
grain. 1t is like the albumen in the egg
that has constituted their food before
coming out of the shell, and for the first
day and night thereafter. If any meal is
given use oatmeal rather than corn meal
The husk of the oat keeps it from COM
pactlng IN the stomach, and is also Jess
heating and contains more of the nutrition
needed for growth. But soft foods, ex-
cept the curd Of milk, should not be con-
tinued more than four or five days.
Chicks will eat whole wheat when a week
old, and the tax that this will be on their
digestive organs will make them hardy
and vigorous as soft food cannot do

BRUSH FOR SWEET PEAS.

Whatever may be said in favor of
fancy trellises for climbing plants, it is
fact that the sweet pea really seems to do
better when given brush to Chamber over
than it will on any other support that we
have ever provided for it. 1t seems to
have a decided objection to anything
formal. 1t will not cling to string
we'll. 1t must have something which it
can lean upon rather than cling about.
If you want late flowers, be sure to keep
your plants from forming any seed, and
cut the tops back very nearly one-half in
August, giving, at the same time, a
good top-dressing of manure. We are
glad to notice that this fine old flower is
becoming a favorite with those who have
hitherto thought nothing SO desirable as
roses and other flowers of that class

KICKING COWS.

Cows acquire the habit of kicking and
stepping about while the milking is per-
formed, on account Of timidity or pain;
and this habit becomes chronic by rough
and brutal treatment. Milking the COW
is in a measure a surgical operation, and
during the process if she cannot or will
not be reasonably quiet, she should be
confined by some restraint other than
human muscle, for the cows strength is
the greatest. The weaker party gets
angry, and rough treatment is the result;
hence the necessity of some method of
conveniently restraining the COWS within
the limit of human strength.
Cows sanctioned, and standing at a
''hoist', do not kick with the right foot,
which is the most Objectionable one for
kicking, but if she is bent on kicking,
she soon puts her right foot in advance
of the other, which shifts her greatest
weight on the left foot, and then she is
ready for kicking. My plan is to com
pei the COW to EFhoist' and hold her
there. This is best done by placing her
in the stanchion, and taking small rope
or strap, about eight feet long, with
loop on one end; loop it around the left
mind leg, and drop it down just above
the dew claws, then pass it around the
stanchion one and a-haf times, draw the
foot well forward and cOnfine it there.
This requires SO little strength that there
is no cause for anger, even i'll the utmost
irritable person. Some COWS give up at
once, while others struggle until they
become accustomed to the restraint.
This mode of combining the COW is par
ticularly valuable to young heifers, all
COWS that step about while milking, and
ordinary kickers. Sometimes I find it
insufficient; in which case [ place the
rope around or above the hamstring joint
and over the top of the stanchion, draw
ing the foot nearly or quite off the floor.
If [ find this is insufficient, which is sell
dom, I draw the left foot forward as first
described, and then confne the other
foot backward to a ring or post, and then
the COW is compelled to stand. Confin-
ing the right foot backward is much
more muscular task than drawing the left
foot forward, and requires a stronger
rope. [ have never found it necessary
to do more than confine the left foot for
ward, with all COWS I have raised, but I
have bought unmanageable COWS cheap
and compelled them to stand while being
MIXED. This method is quickly APP
piled, and holds the COW in the right po-
sition to milk.-Anaerjcan AgrjcultoTist.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Manure can be hauled out and applied
after blowing.
Apply sulphur at the first appearance
Of mildeW on grapes.
Tile drainage is best, but surface
drainage will answer
A sun-struck COW is ruined as a mixer
for one season at least.
Picking up all the fallen fruit will ma
terially diminish the number of apple
worms.
If salt is to be applied, wait until
spring, and then SOW broadcast as evenly
as possible.
Whether the propensity of bees to
swarm can be bred out or modified re-
mains to be seen.
Every man ought to be heartily
ashamed of the gall on the shoulder of
the animal he drives.
To get at the real cost of beef making
the animal must be credited for the fer
tility it leaves on the farm.
If clover sod is to be plOwed under
for wheat, an application of lime before
blowing will be found beneficial.
One of the advantages in using wood
ashes as a fertilizer for wheat is that it
helps materially to stiffen the straw.
If commercial fertilizers are to be used,
SOW with drill, when sowing the seed,
or SOW broadcast, just before seeding.
If constant supply of bloom is desired,
the fiowerbuds must be cut off as soon as
faded; never permit them to go to seed.
The medium sized animal, as to the
breed to which he belongs, is the one
which gives the owner the greatest net
profit.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
BEST TINE TO CUT HAY.

Early cut hay is far more nutritious
end digestible than late cut. We mean
by early cutting that which is made into
hay when the grass is in bloom, and be-
fore the seed is formed in the head.
Every day grass is allowed to stand after
this time it deteriorates in value for hav.
Many kinds of the wild grasses growing
in low bottom land will make fair hay for
cattle II cut early, but if allowed to stand
until mature they are only fit for bedding
stock in winter-Neao York Sun.

A dog, owned by Peter Flynn, of Red
Hook, n. Y, recently chewed up and
swallowed a 3 bill. As the dog had
no commercial value, he was killed, and
the fragments of the bill, including the
