WHAT OATS REQUIRE.

Oats require long season for growth,
and cool weather; therefore sow them
early, but do not sow on frozen ground
with the expectation that they will sink
down in the mud and SOW themselves.
This slipshod method will do for the poor
ignorant and wrctched mo men more SOY
Egyptian "fellahs" who scatter their seed
wheat on the rich mud left by the floods
of the river Nile, but not for an American
farmer sowing oats in the spring. For
this crop the land must be thoroughly
well plowed and harrowed-it should
be plowed in the fall, in fact--and the
seed must be well covered And this is
to be done as early as possible. Three
years ago we sowed oats in warm spell
in February but did not cover the seed
deep enough; hard frost in March
killed nine-tenths of the plants. -Nsso

sELLING EGGS BY wr1eHr.

There has, from time to time for years,
been attempts made to induce grocery
men and dealers generally, to sell eggs
by weight, but while some have attempted
it, they have gradually fallen back into
the old way of selling by the dozen. The
housekeeper does not seem to take kindly
to the plan, and prefers to buy the eggs
as she has been accustomed to, getting a
few large ones and some small ones in
the dozen. But undoubtedly the just
way is to buy and sell by weight, as in
this way both buyer and seller would get
full value for eggs and money. 1t would
also have tendency to stimulate the
breeding of class of fowls that would
lay large eggs, and so drive all the lay
ers OF small eggs out of existence. ANY
observing person will notice that the lay
ers of small eggs, like the Hamburgs,
Polands, ETC., are always in the minority
at our shows, which indicate that our ex-
hibitors like to combine the practical
with the beautiful and that the fowls
known to be layers of large or medium
sized eggs are the chosen birds.-Fa,m,
Field and StocIman.

PROTECTION OF HAY.

The use OF hay caps is complete pro-
lection to the hay in case of rain, and
with sufficient number of these caps the
whole crop may be left out safely and got
in in fine weather unimpaired by rain.
The caps are made of one and a half yard
squares, which may be water PROCEED by
stepping them first in solution of sugar
of lead, then in one of alum, or by paint
ing them with any waterproof compost
ton. A hole is made in each corner and
a string loop fastens it down to peg
pushed in the hay to hold it against the
wind.-Ne,o York Times

question . coming up, and the western

a paper read by DR.. G, H. Grimmell, be-
fore the American Poland China Record
Association;
s'There are great many breeders and
raisers of pigs, and each one has road
marked out tolerably well, and thinks,
perhaps, that his way is the best.
Sand now for me to try to tell this
audience OF intelligent breeders and ex-
perts how to rear young pigs. First,
quietness about their quarters, as few
visitors as possible outside of persons in
charge feed for dam for first few days
nothing but little bran and water, a
nice clean bed of hay, not too much SO as
to heat or cntanglc pigs therein, but
sufficient for comfort, with good sunlight
on warm days, and q good ventilation,
clean troughs and good hygienic surround
out, pen to be occupied by dam, have
pens and lots so as to admit those of the
same age to the same run.
Increase the sow's rations as the pigs
increase in age, by giving ground oats,
bran and small portion of oil cake, till
the SOW supplies milk for the litter, never
feeding any sour swill to SOW, as that will
impair the young pigs digestive organs,
and you will have diarrhea, white scours
as called, from the deranged condition
by the fermentation of sour swill, through
the sow's milk.
''When the pigs are large enough, I
commence to encourage them by feeding
in separate trough, from the dam,
sweet milk, soaked corn in small quanti-
ties and oats, and as soon as they will
take hold of same, give them liberal
supply of ground oats, bran, oil cake and
soaked corn, never losing a minute but
to see if they are just loose enough to be
good hearty eaters at six weeks old; by
that time l have them learned to do with
out the dam, which turn out, and leave
them their old quarters to run in and out
at will; then I feed them just what they
will eat clean from one feeding to the
next, and increase feed as their appetite
increases and they digest the same, never
allowing their feed to become sour, mix
ing my swill fresh morning and evening,
which they relish with an appetite fit for
king. Always keep appetite good,
bowels regular, clean quarters and above
all allow no constipation in your pigs"

Some rather startling computations
have been made on the subject of hog
breeding. 1t has been found that. if
permitted, hogs will live from fifteen to
twenty years of age, that they commence
breeding when they are from nine to
twelve months old, and that from one
pair only in ten years, allowing only six
10 litter, male and female, upward of
6, 49,, 1893 pigs would be obtained; that
is to say if, instead of three acres and a
COW, country man started with some
acres and pair Of pigs, he might in the
course of ten years count their progeny
by millions. This is not reckoning on
any. out Of thc-way basis, for it has been
shown that one SOW actually produced
1855 pigs in twenty filters; while at an
exhibition Of the Agricultural Society q
boar was shown which, although only
twenty months old, was already tho
father Of 1, 466 hogs Here then is
wealth for the million.

coTrEp FLEECE.

''Cotted" fleece in sheep is not con-
fined to any breed or country, but is
found among all races, everywhere. This
condition of fleece is caused in many
ways, and may be best understood as a
stoppage in the growth of the wool and
yolk, caused by sudden change in the
environments of the animal, as from good
to poor food in winter, chased by dogs,
physical injuries and difficult partu-
rltion. It sometimes occurs after hard
drive on the road, when the animals are
put in cool or damp place and allowed
to rest; but one of the greatest melting
causes is plunging them into cold water
at washing-time when they have been
overheated by driving. Thus it may be
seen that this deterioration of the fleece
results from some sudden adverse dis
turbance, and although the other effects
may speedily pass away, the fleece is per-
manently injured. Breeding ewes are
most liable to cotted fleece. Flocks in,
which this condition is found most
largely are usually those which possess
delicate constitutions and lack of
stamina. Where this occurs to sheep
two seasons in succession they should be
weedcd out.-Ne,o York Tribune.

FARM AND GARDEN. NOTES.

Be sure the calf has dry bed
Keep ahead of the weeds or they Will
get ahead of you.
Keep lookout for the brood mare.
Don't overwork her.
If you feed your land well, frequent
groupings will not impoverish it.
Mutton sheep give best returns if fed
for that purpose while they are young
A few extra hours of care given the
lambs and ewes may save you much loss
Don't turn the hogs into young
orchard if the small trees are unpro-
tected
Some old gardeners claim that Gu
cumber vines will bear better if they are
topped.
The effect of the general spraying of
fruit trees is to give us less wormy fruit
than ever before.
The nights continue cold with us, SO we
have not set out our tomato plants nor
planted our lima beans
Our boy cultivates his onions and other
small vegetables before they are up, by
going between the rows with the rake or
hoe.
AS soon as the lambs are up and have
taken their first meal they are on the
road to sheephood. But care for them
still, if you would have them sheep.
Three wants are responsible for nine
out of every ten improbable farms,
according to American Agriculturist--
want of cultivation, want Of manure and
want of drainage.
Without doubt any active farmer who
will cultivate his mind as well as he cult
Yates his fields may increase the profit of
his farming largely and at less outlay
than in any other manner.
Do you notice some of the chicks trail
ing their wings? Look out for lice. Ex-
anime beneath the wings, on top of the
head and about the vent. Look closely
and you will find the cause.
An acre of meadow that Yields a ton Of
hay may give no profit, but if the yield
be increased to two tons, it may give ten
or twenty per cent. profit, according to
the market value of the land
Professor Samuel Johnston, Michigan
Agricultural College, says: III should
prefer to buy wheat, BRAN oil meal and
other commercial foods for cattle rather
than commercial fertilizers
In setting hens for early chickens some
think it best to set several at the same
time. Then, if they do not hatch we'll
the chickens can be given to one hen and
the Others supplied with eggs.
Professor w. A. Stewart enumerates
among the protein or heterogeneous foods
for stock, shorts, bran, oil-meal cotton
seed meal, all rich in protein; while of
rough folders clover hay is the richest.
If the disposition to maintain, support
and encourage all that is good in human
character were half as prevalent as the
propensity to pull down and DESTROY, the
millennial age would be fastened forward
immeasurably.
The first thing to look to, after YOU
have made up your mind to keep bees, is
pasturage. For, according to bee
keeper, greater falsehood was never
palmed of on a gullible public than that
bees work for nothing and board them
selves
Orchard and Garden aifirms that the
only trouble reported in the use OF
arsenical poisons for destroying insects in
orchards is in the burning of tho foliage
by having the mixture too strong or put
ting it on too heavy; the latter often
owing to the fact that the machinery used
is not of the best.
