THE FARM AND GARDEN.
WHEN TO WATER HORSES.

A writer in some agricultural papei
says: "Never water horse within three
hours after eating" This must be a mis-.
take. He was right in saying: "Water
them before they are fed" But some
times they will not drink before eating
If more hungry than dry. Now, it would
be cruel to drive horse, especially in a
hot day, fifteen or twenty miles before
giving him drink. How would a man
like such treatment9 A horse may be
given little water in half an hour after
eating when he is being worked. Some
think it safe to let horse drink all he
wants while going right along on the
road, but many valuable horses have
been killed by doing this. A little

GRASS FOR PIGS.

Various agricultural journals are re-
marking that there is meat in grass for
pigs as well as for cattle and sheen. II
is very true, but it is a mistake to sun
pose that the natural diet of pigs is
grass, as it is for ruminant animals like
cows and sheep. The two latter have
very bulky double stomach, and will
thrive on coarser fare than the pig, that
mas only one digestive apparatus. With
out doubt pigs are often fed on too con.
centrated food, and are benefited bv n
run at pasture, especially by the exercise
1t involves. But the notion that grain
or some concentrated food is not needed
even by growing pigs is a mistaken one.
1t is true pigs thrive well on milk. but
even with the cream taken from il, milk
is much more nutritious and therefore n
more concentrated food than it is often
supposed to Colman's Rural World.

pEErs FoR MICH COWS.

A bulletin of the Ohio Agricultural Ex-
perimental Station gives the result of an
experiment in feeding sugar beets to
milch cows, made during the past winter,
together with a summary of two similar
experiments, one made by the station in
1889 and one by the farm department of
the Ohio State University in 1879.
In the last named experiment eight
cows were kept under test for eleven
weeks; in 1889 twelve cows for eight
weeks, and in 1890 twelve COWS for nine
weeks, the cows in each case being
weighed daily, as well as their feed and
milk.

EFFECTS OF SPRAYING PEACH TREES.


Professar Bailey, in bulletin issued
from the Cornell Agricultural Experiment
Station, Ithaca, N. Y, gives a full re-
port of experiments made with spraying
peach foliage with London purple and
Paris green. Following is summary of
same;
1. Peach trees are very susceptible to
injury from arsenical sprays. 2. London
purple is much more harmful to peach
trees than Paris green, and it should
never be used upon them in any manner.
3. Injury is more liable to occur upon
full-grown foliage and hardened shoots
than upon young foliage and soft shoots.
4. The immunity of the young growth
is due to It's waxy covering. 5. Injury
late in the season is more apparent than
early in the season, because of the cessa-
ton of growth. 6. Injury from the use
of London purple may be permanent and
irreparable. 7. The length of time
which the poison has been mixed appears
to exercise no influence. s. London
purple contains much soluble arsenic, and
this arsenic is the cause of the injury to
peach foliage. 8. A coarse spray ap-
pears to be more injurious than a fne
one. 10. A rain following the applica-
ton does not appear to augment the in
jury. IL. Meteorological conditions do
not appear to influence results. 12. Spray
ing the peach with water on a bright and
hot day does not scorch the foliage.
13. Paris green, in fine spray, at the
rate of one pound to 300 gallons of water,
did not injure the trees. Probably one
pound to $50 gallons is always safe.
Professor Bailey does not discourage
the general use of London purple, as he
uses it freely upon other plants than the
peach.

ENsnAeE AT 81 PER TON.

In regard to the cost of harvesting and
storing foods for ensilage, Professor Hay
ward, of the Maryland Experiment Sta
ton, says: An accurate record was kept
of the cost of harvesting and storing of
forty-fve tons, put into the silo in three
days, beginning the 18th of September.
The force employed was as follows: porta-
BILE engine, power cutter, one two-mule
cart, one single cart, one mule hauling
fuel and water for engine (making four
mules), one foreman, one engineer and
fireman, two driver, three corn cutters,
two men at cutting machine, one man
packing in silo and one boy helper on
water cart.
The items of cost were these: Hire of
engine and engineer three days, at $4
per day, S12; fuel, So teams and manual
labor, in all S46.40; putting cover and
weights on silo, SO, total, S64, 40, or 81. .4S
per ton. 1t was estimated that the tan.
gled condition Of the corn in the field
fully doubled the labor of cutting and
loading it. Had the feed cuttei
been larger the same engine and
fuel could have doubled the quantity cut
per day, although another cart would
have been noeded in hauling. 1t is easy
to see how these improvements might
have reduced the cost of storing per tor
to about one dollar The season foi
growing and cultivating the crop was S,
exceptional, and the crop itself so small
that no computation was made as TO cos
of production to time of harvest. Thes,
figures, if recorded, would not apply t.
an average season. But it may be roughl,
stated that the cost of making the crop
exclusive of harvesting, need never ex

view to engagements. Here a patron
can hear the singer she wants for her

cost of from one hundred aud twenty five
