Artificial Nursing.

children who have been deprived of
maternal nourishmcnt, he has come
back to cows mills, properly prepared,
as the best substitute for mothers milk

consumed by the artificially-rearcd
children under his care to be prepared
by putting into an ordinary cooking.

: SteenlechaSing i'm America.

The elimination Of jumpers from
race programs is deprecated for the
reason that by steeplechasing alone is
it now possible to discover animals of
undoubted stamina to be used as stall
ions. In this era of sprint racing there
are no long distance races by which to
test the ability of a horse to CARRY
heavy weight over a distance Of
ground, and when it is remembered
that all excellence of high order Of the
American horses of to-day is largely
due to the infusion of the blood of
Lexington and other four mile racers
it can readily be seen that the posi-
bility arises of great depreciation of
thorough bred stock under the present
system of racing.
The appropriately of steeplechasing
comes from the participation therein
of badly taught animals - entered
when unfit for anything else by some
small owner, and allotted feather
by the Handicapped and almost sure
to fall at the first obstacle from the
crookedness which has become so
marked in connection with all kinds
of jumping races. The hunt clubs"
alone serve to keep up steeplechasing
as it should exist, and these organiza-
tons are handicapped by the betting
laws of New York State. as also by all
racing dates being taken up by the
more powerful clubs like the Ameri-
can, Brooklyn and Coney Island.
Again, steeplechasing in the summer
is scarcely the thing. the ground being
hard and the falls more severe. It is
suggested that the New York Legisla-
ture be petitioned to lengthen the rae
ing season by four weeks, such time to
be used only by regularly organized
hunt clubs.

Soft Soap for Fruit Trees.

If one has an old orchard, the trunks
and larger branches covered with loose
bark on which MOSES and lichens find
f0othold, and which afford a hiding
place for numerous in furious insects in
various states OF development, the first
thing to be done is to scrape off all the
loose scales of bark. Use a moderately
dull hoe-a sharp one might injure the
bark; one with short handle will allow
the lower branches to be reached. Use
the home made soft soap, dilute it with
hot water, stir it we'll until it is thin
enough toapply with small white wash
brush. Put plenty of it on the trunks
and the larger branches. One should
endeavor to apply the soap very early in
the spring SO that it may not dry up at
once, but be gradually washed off by the
rains that usually occur at this season.
When the trees have had thorough
washing, the bark will present a beau
tiful, smooth appearance that will amply
repay one for the trouble. For remov-
ing the green growth on the outside of
flower pots, this soap is excellent; it
has also been recommended as vehicle
to apply kerosene for aphides Or plant
lice and other insects. One pint of soft
soap is mixed with half pint Of kero-
sene. Mix thoroughly, add to seven or
eight gallons of water, and apply with a
syringe. This has been found destruc-
tive to the chinch bug.-AmericGn Az

HeSv to Grow Large Crop of Oats.
We have q thirty acre field that we in

was plewed with three horse pillow

tine sod keeps it loose andporous under

land, the first moment it is dry enough
in the spring, will be plowed about five
inches deep with 8 gang pillow and three
horses and narrowed and drilled in with
oats just as fast as it is plOwed, If this
is not done, heavy rain on the plowed
land might delay sowing for several
days. In fact, we have known it de-
layed two weeks. Sow two and one
half bushels of oats by measure per acre,
being careful to blow and sift out all
the small light kernels. AS our oats
weigh forty pounds per bushel, this
would be LOO pounds per acre, or a little
over three legal bushels. We never SOW
less than this, and frequently SOW more.

Pruning Fruit Trees.

We occasionally meet with persons
who think that trees, in order to bear
properly should be pruned every spring.
Similar persons think they cannot start
the year Alright without dose of spring
physic of some kind. The trees may
need pruning, but, at this season Or at
any other, one rule should be observed.
No branches, large or small, should ever
be cut away without reason for it..
One should be able to say to himself,
why will it be better for the tree to re-
move certain branch than to let it re-
main? If this rule were observed there
would be much less pruning than at
present.--AmeyacaR Agrlcultur5st.

THE GARDENER.


Farmers may forward the seed for
their crops Of early potatoes and grain
several days. We usually cut the tubers
in March, sprinkling the cut surfaces
freely with gypsum Gland plaster to dry
them and prevent their sticking to-
gethcr The pieces are then laid in the
fats first mentioned, or other shallow
boxes. They are placed close together,
skin sides up and exposed to the sun
light Of the kitchen window. The eyes
will form strong sprouts which at the
proper season may be planted. If the
first shoots that appear above ground
are cut by the frost, other shoots will
appear from the dormant buds, and the
labor will not be all lost. Of course this
forwarding process is advised for those
only who wish to be early with part Of
their crop, and who can try part of
their early kinds to see il it will pay. A
still further help is to nail two boards
together after the manner of trough;
place these by the side of the rows, and
if frost seems probable, or even cool
night, it is but the work of minute to
turn them over the rows; indeed it would
be we'll to cover the rows every night
until the potatoes outgrow their protec-
tion.-Amer&cGn AgricW!turiat.
Shall We Dig the Garden in the Spring?
Some years ago the writer was sowing
a thirty acre field to barley. The field
was i'll corn the previous year, and was
we'll plOWed III the autumn after the corn
was gathered. Our plan was to cultivate
and harrow the land in the spring and
drill in the barley-no blowing. But
for some reason strip running across
the lot was plowed in the spring. All
the rest of the field was sown without
blowing. The drill ran across the I'M
plowed strip of land. When the barley
began to show above ground, and for a
week or ten days later, one could see to
an inch, all across the field, just where
the land had been plowed. On the
plowed strip the barley was many days
later in terminating than on the un-
plowed land.
could not at first account for the fact.
but after thinking over the matter |
came to the conclusion that the plowed
land was much colder than the unplowed
land. During the winter all the land
was frozen solid, foot or more deep.
In the spring, as soon as the snow dis
appeared. the sun warmed the surface
goiI; and as soon as it was dry enough
we commenced to stir it with the harrow
and cultivator, working the top soil
three or four inches deep, and admitting
the rays Of the sun. But on the plowed
strip this warm surface soil was plowed

Dairy Notes.

Too MUCH washing and securing of
the churn and tin pans cannot be given.
Cleanliness is an important factor in
the dairy business, and boiling water is
an absolute necessity.
DAIRY butter is superior in quality to
that made a few years ago, due to the
competition with creameries. The quail
ity has raised prices, and has been of
advantage to the dairyman.
ACCORDING to some experiments re-
Gently made in Holland, cattle fed on
hay with other food increased in live
weight more than those fed with en-
silage, but those fed with ensilage gave
more and better milk.
DAIRY COWS should be fed twice only
o day. The dairy cow needs rest as we'll
as food. She will eat more slowly, mas
ticate more and digest her food better
if she gets two meals at regular inter-
walls. The meals should be full ones.
A quiet and contented habit should be
cultivated in the COWS. Such habits are
conducive to greater production.
THERE is no doubt about it that nine
tenths of the farm made butter is
spoiled, especially in winter, from keep
ing the cream too long before it is
churned. This is usually because so
little milk is gotten in the winter, bat
add water to it SO as to one-third fill the
churn, and go to work on it. The water
will help winter cream and greatly i'm
prove the quality of the butter.

Boiled Down.

ONE of the essentials of soiling is q
fertile soil.
EVERY farm ought to have its expert
mental patch.
THE early killed is the easy killed
weed, and the weed that robs the crop
least.
IF you are careful to keep the burrows
straight, gou will do faster and better
blowing.
A DIVERSITY of crops distributes work,
receipts, and expenses more evenly
through the year and through the years.
IN no other way can the farmer SO
radically do the work of Nature to his
advantage as by using tile; for under
drainage both lengthens the seasons and
deepens the soil.
The smaller the field the more fence
required and the more land taken from
cultivation. The more oblong the field,
the more fence required to inclose a
given area; conversely, the nearer a
square is the field the less fence is re-

Seeding with Oats.

Oats are beyond question the bestcrop
to seed grass and clover with. 1t is not
so much the crop as the condition Of
the soil and the time that favors the
successful growth of grass; oats secure
the very best time, and if that crop is
properly prepared for, it affords all the
necessary conditions of soil. IF farmers
would always sow their grass and clover
seed upon well-matured soil, fresh
plowed and we'll narrowed, we should
hear no more of poor catches and half
6own meadows, and if farmers would
only give their cat crop liberal guam
tity Of manure, which it will repay with
good interest, they can always get q
good catch of grass and clover on the
land.-Americ0N AGricMltMrist.
