We say all this with sincere
regret, because in every attempt
President Harrison makes to purify
the civil service of the Government,
and abolish its corrupt connection
with party politics, he has, and will
have, our heartiest sympathy and
support. But the Wanamaker Incl
dent must inevitably weaken the

improve our Governmental machi-
merry. The worst men will rejoice
in il most as showing that even in
his most solemn moments he was not
superior to the motives which
govern their own conduct.
There is another aspect of the case
which, delicate as it is, must be
touched on. Gen. Harrison, who
has done this thing, Is a very

FARM AND GARDEN.
OF INTEREST TO FARMERS, STOCK
GROWERS AND GARDENERS.

The Coming Holstein-Friesian-Dai VS..
General Purpose Cow-What Well Known
Breeders Are Working For-Opinions
Expressed by Several Authorities.
At the last meeting of the Holstein-
Friesian Breeders association somewhat
divided advice was given. Professor
johnson of the Michigan Agricultural
college urged breeders to pay particular
attention to the dairy points Of their
cattle. In spite of the fact that the test
he had shortly before completed gave
the strongest evidence Of the value Of a
Holstein steer for beef, he was emphatic
in saying that the Holstein COW was spe-
cialy designed by nature to serve as a
dairy machine, and that every energy of
the breeder should be devoted to the
task Of improving the ability to make
milk and butter. Professor Morrow, on
the other hand, seemed to think that the
Holstein-Friesian might profitably apply
for the position Of general purpose"
COW, and he therefore urged breeders
not to neglect the beef points while they
tried to develop dairy qualities.

A Long Lived Fence.

An Ohio correspondent writing in the
World says: "More than fifty years ago
my father made board fence, inclosing
the house, lot and garden, that remained
in its place until last year, with scarcely
any repairs or care other than that it
was painted as protection from decay.
The secret Of the longevity of the posts
consists in the fact that the ends of the
posts rested on fat stones with an iron
pin fastened in the stone with lead and
projecting up into hole bored in the
foot of the posts. These were further
steadied and supported by small iron
rod entering the side Of each post about
one foot above the stone and bent so that
the other end of the rod was fastened
into the stone with lead as brace and
support. Last year the same posts,
which still remained sound, were used
again as posts for new fence of wire
and wood.

Sailing Butter.

Butter, as rule, is salted to the taste,
without weighing, but about an ounce
Of pure salt to a pound of butter is the
amount required. The churning should
not be continued too long. When the
butter is in the granular state draw off
the buttermilk and wash with cold water
until it runs clear, then carefully stir in
the salt and press out the water without
breaking the grain of the butter.
The brine sailing process consists in
drawing off the buttermilk as soon as the
butter gets into the granular state and
washing out the buttermilk that still re-
mains with very cold water slightly
salted then very strong, clear brine is
poured on it, in which it is soaked and
stirred awhile until sufficiently salt to
suit the taste; then the butter is taken
out and gently pressed enough to cause
the surplus water to run off. While it is
important to remove the buttermilk as
thoroughly as possible it is equally SO to do
it so as not to mash the grain of the but
ter or squeeze it into pasty mass while
working it. A good deal of Judgment
and experience are requisite for deter
mining when butter has been worked
just enough. for it should not be worked
until it is entirely dry. No matter
whether dry salted or brine salted, a
piece of good butter when cut though
with a knife should show two moist.
clean cut surfaces and without any
sticky butter adhering to the knife.

PYRETHRUM ROSEUM.

for on exposure to the air it soon loses its
value.
The cheapest way to apply pyrethrum,
and an effective one, is in tho liquid
form with spray bellows or force pumps
One ounce of the powder to three gal
Ions Of water is an approved formula
The fact, announced for the first time
by Mr.. E. s. Carman, some three years
ago, that pyrethrum is sure death to rose
beetles, is beginning to be appreciated
throughout the country. No more tedi-
GUS hand picking Of these dreaded pests
is necessary. "One heaping tablespoon
ful of pyrethrum in two gallons of water,
sprayed over the infested plants, will rid
them of every rose bug in half an hour"
asserts MIR. Carman, who adds that the
remedy must be repeated daily for sew
eral times. AS has been before told,
pyrethrum or buhach is specific against
the common cabbage caterpillars, sluGs
on pear or cherry trees. vermin on fowls,
flies. mosquitoes, etc.
The foregoing cut shows several sprays
of pyrethrum roseum photographed from
nature. This plant thrives and bears
flowers in many sections of the country.
and there appears no reason why farmers
should not grow it if they SO desire.

NO. 2-TRoUGH AND TILE DRAIN.
NO. HOUSE DRAIN AND WELL PLAT
FORM.

A correspondent in Prairie Farmer, to
which journal we are indebted for the
illustrations here presented, devised the
plan shown in cut 2. A tile drain was
laid under the trough near the surface.
It carries the water into silt basin,
shown at the right, which removes any
muddiness, and from thence it runs into
a regular drain. Stone was laid around
the trough at cost Of about 81, and the
arrangement has done service for eight
years.
At A, in cut /, is shown also plan by
which surplus water was conducted away
from house well. An underground
drain was made by first digging trench
foot deep, with flat bottom ten inches
wide, in the middle Of which a narrower
trench was made. A board was laid in
the bottom and the dirt placed upon it.
Without the bother or expense Of laying
tile drain, the small amount Of water
wasted at the house well was thus effect
ually removed few rods down the hill.

Pasturaye for Colts and Cattle.

It is important that pasturage be prop
erly chosen, especially for growing colts
If this is on very rich land, or watery,
the grass will be too rank for the growth
of fine, strong bones and firm, enduring
muscle. Colts grown up on such will be
pretty sure to be wanting in spirit, be
slow of movement and deficient in wind;
so much so that when in harness, if
put up to moderately fast pace-which
can only be done by repeated applica-
ton of the whip-they breathe painful
", sweat intolerably and soon tire. The
best pasture ground for colts is such as is
we'll drained or naturally rather dry, and
if it abounds with scattered rocks a foot
or more in diameter, these are not OBJ
jectionable, but small stones are. for the
colts in running about arc liable to
strike on them to the injury Of their
hoofs, while they avoid the larger ones
and rocks in their exercise.
The grass on such lands is sweet and
tender, highly relished by the colts and
very nutritious. Growing up on such,
especially if limited to it, the feet and
legs and the bones of the whole body be-
come extra strong, more like ivory than
common bone grown on quite succulent
pasture. For cattle the pasture need not
lie so select in quality, for they will do
we'll on wet meadows when the water is
generally q little below the surface of
the soil, only occasionally overfowing
for a few hours and then drying off
well.

Agricultural Notes.

Don't throw soft feed on the ground,
where half of it will be wasted, and then
complain because cit cost so much for
feed for those hens"
The proper feeding of calves is ques.
ton that should be carefully studied.
Judging from results, very few do so.
Cold milk should never be fed. To make
up for the butter taken out Of the milk
in the shape of cream, some supplement-
ary feed should be given with the skim
milk. Linseed, oil cake, cotton seed
meal, bran, oats and peas are all good.
Experiments have proved that SUM-
flower seeds are irresistible bait for ruts.
Put the seeds in trapsand try this method
in yeur poultry house if you are troubled
with the rodents.
Provide q place Of shelter for fowls
where they can be kept dry during hard
rain storms
Parsnips are very nutritious, and in
the islands of Jersey and Guernsey arc
considered excellent roots for dairy cows
and are extensively grown for that pur-
pose.
Shut the young turkeys in at night and
do not let them out on wet mornings till
the grass has dried off. Give them water
in shallow vessels. Don't let the little
turkeys get their backs wet till they are
feathered" is good rule.
The Wyandotte fowls are highly priced
as winter layers.
Chickens, especially of the larger
breeds, should never be allowed to perch
until they are fully six months old, or
the breastbone will be liable to become
crooked. There is no cure for it, and it
is a disqualification everywhere.
Dame Nature plants her plums in
thickets. The "plum thicket" is ia
miliar childhood phrase. Therefore an
Illinois horticulturist argues that plum
trees should never be planted singly, but
will do best in clumps, including differ
ent varieties that will aid each other IN
fertilization.
