The following seasonable suggestions
are furnished by The Farmers Review;
The ewes and lambs are benefited by
a frequent change of pasture and should
have it on every well regulated farm.
When the grass and the clover get ahead
of the eve flock as they should be allow
ed 10 do, turn the cattle in and put the
ewes on pastures new, 1t is a peculiar
and interesting fact that nature has ap-
parently fitted the different grass eating
animals to crop the heritage at the sew
eral stages Of its growth. The sheep is
n close nibbler, the COW takes full wisp
at each bite, while the horse seemingly
is well satisfied with the tops. Freshly
grown grass, then, is the most palatable
and nutritious for the ewes, and they
thrive much better upon such pasture
than on land where they are continuous
" confined. 1t is a mistake to suppose
that weeds are good enough for sheep
and that hazel brush is all the relish they
REQUIRE in such dieting.

Potato Culture.

At the Agricultural college of Michi-
gan, where experiments were made dur
ing the four years from 1885 to 1888, IN
elusive, it is stated as the result OF
planting with different amounts of seed
on five different plats, under the same
conditions, that while there is larger
average yield from the whole potato,
there is a much larger per cent of small
potatoes. The next largest per cent OF
small potatoes is found in the one eye
Mat. and the smallest in the three eye
plat. The yearly and the total results
all 90 to show that a medium amount OF
seed is better than a whole potato or
potato cut to single eyes.
The whole potato produces too much
growth above the ground, and the one
eve does not give quite vigor enough,
especially if the weather is unfavorable.
There was Q marked graduation IN vlgor
of growth from one eye up to the whole
potato. Where one eye was planted the
potatoes came up very unevenly, and
some of them failed to grow, proving
that it is unwise to take the chances OF
securing a good cropfrom such planting
Unless the soil contains considerable
amount of moisture the pieces will dry
before they can send out roots, and thu
fail to grow. In 1886, 8 per cent. Of thu
seed cut to one eye failed to grow. Th'
beetle injured the one eye plant mor'
than the others from the fact that tn
plants were not so vigorous.

tanned from working the sol about the
plants at a time when no other imple-
ment could have been used. A number
of well known farmers tell in recent
issue of Rural New Yorker what they
think of this practice. The diversity Of
opinion expressed indicates plainly that
a man must use his brains if he wants
to succeed with a machine.
In the words of l. w. Curtis: "a
harrow or weeder run over a piece OF
corn or potatoes on a hot, dry, sunny
day at the proper time will kill all the
weeds; but if used on wet day or after
theweeds are up it is worse than useless"
Fred Grundy, Christian county, Ills,
saws; Some farmers harrow corn land
Immediately after blowing, plant, then
roll and harrow over once or twice more.
This leaves the land in fine condition for
the cultivator; but should heavy, beat
ing rain follow soon after, the soil Will
mack almost as solid as road, and it
must be stirred again by some means be-
fore it bakes or there will be tribulation. y
D. D. Cook, Genesee county, n. Y,
says: Narrowing potatoes is not prac-
ticed by any of the large growers of this
locality. For first cultivation nearly all
have adopted the method of covering the
entire surface of the row, the young
plants included, soon after making their
appearance, the soil for the purpose
being moved between the rows"
]. B. Stribling, Anderson county, S.
c., SAYS: "If the value of the smoothing
harrow were properly understood, and if
it were more used by the southern farm
ers, it would save millions by clearing
and cultivating the young crops at the
busiest season of the year. In such times
a good team and harrow used at the
proper time would do more work in one
day than six plows and ten horses could
do in the same time"

Calves raised by hand are apt to scour,
the efforts of an i'll treated stomach to
rid itself of cold or otherwise unfit food.
If whatever is given to a young calf be
made as warm as new milk, much of
the danger of securing will be avoided.
Cold milk is very difficult of digestion,
as is also uncooked meal of any kind. A
diet in mart of fine oatmeal, cooked until
if swells to four or five times its original
size, mixed with water and milk has been
found better to make calves grow than
milk alone. One or two tablespoons OF
meal stirred in water at the boiling point
is enough to make two quarts OF Por-
ridge. and this cooled to milk warmth
with milk is better than en- equal bulk
of milk alone. A raw egg can be ADDED
once day with great advantage.

verified state But much of this work
may be done by the right kind of plow-
ing. Country Gentleman tells that farm
ers are apt to hurry the matter too much
in their anxiety to push rapidly their
spring work Their blowing is too much
like the old "cut and cover" way. A
part of the soil is never moved at all. 1t
lies solid and undisturbed, and the mar
row furrow slice which the plow turns
up is thrown upon it. If this furrow
slice consists of clods, the whole is in
very poor condition for receiving the
seed-Fig. /. where the horizontal lines
show the soil undisturbed by the plow.
In direct contrast with this slipshod
work is the complete mellowing of the
whole soil by the simple and efectual
blowing of narrow furrow slices, All
the soil, to the full depth of cultivation,
Is turned and crumbled-Fig. ?, where
loosening all the soil forms deeper bed

Ohio Farmer says: 81 think it safe to
assert that for all growing stock given
weight of bran is worth more than of
middlings, and, for at least half the ra-
ton, more than corn. If these cattle are
put on straw exclusively for rough feed
/ should have half of the grain feed corn
and the other half Iran. If you can get

F1G 9-NARRow SLICE FLOWING.

1t is much better to pillow off only five
or six inches from the land than to try
TO drive the work SO fast as to attempt
to turn a foot and a half at a time.
Flowing narrow slices pulverizes the
whole to the full depth, and in this
respect does better work than repeated
borrowings, which only mellow the
surface. Both when combined fit the
soil for the seed in the most perfect
manner, and make it as fine as an onion
bed.

Fasten the bottom end to the shoe with
a niece of small wire. The pipe should
reach from the top of the ground to the
top of potato box, when shoes are in at
proper depth for planting. Now fill each
box with potatoes, hitch on your team,
get on the drivers seat, put smart,

In THE REMOVAL OF FRANK L. RERER
from this county to Montana, in the West,
Carbon county loses young man Of broad
intelligence, ability and capacity, both as
thinker and writer on leading subjects of
the day. He is Democrat too, of the JEFF
fersonian stripe of common equality, and
during the Presidential campaign of 1888
did much effective work along the line and
on the stump as speaker. He was hardly
more than twenty one years of age when
natural forces, over which man has no con-
troll, made him prominent in the field of
politics, and since then he has been on
county and state committees and delegate
to state conventions innumerable, and dur
ing four years past held with ability and
credit, by appointment under Democratic
administration, a responsible and lucrative
position in the U. S Mint at Philadelphia.
He enjoys an extensive acquaintance with
the leading men of both parties in this State
and has always been looked upon as a
staunch adherent and party worker to which
forces his first duty he owed, afterward
came SELF His appointment to lucrative
position in the Mint was an acknowledge
ment of the appreciation of his services and
his ability, and that he filed this office
faithfully and well is not. only credtable to
himself but alike to his constituency. He
goes to the West, where a broad field is
open for men of his stamp, who have in
their makeup, forces that combine ability,
intelligence, ambition, pluck, perseverance
and enterprise, along with an indomtable
will. He will succeed. men of his character
always do, but along the line of success
many thorn may protrude 10 check the
onward progress, but these tempered by the
roses of success only make the striving
more earnest and indomitable. In the new
field, no matter what his avocation, the
CARBON ADVOCATE wishes him God-speed.
