sHrFrLEss TRICKS FOR FARMER.

sHIFTLEss TRICKS FOR A FARMER.
To try to farm without manure.
To plant more acres than can be taken
care of.
To work with poor tools, and to sow
poor seed.
To buy at public sales what is not
needed because it sells cheap.
1t is shiftless to keep poor stock. A
poor COW eats as much as good one.
To lounge about stores and groceries
when it is possible to be doing something
at home.
To raise frogs and mosquitoes in the
front yard. To have a pig wallow in the
road near the gate.
To allow the hogs and sheep to wander
at their own sweet will over their owners
and his neighbors' premises.
To allow the barnyard to drain into
the public road, or into stream. A good
many farmers are guilty of this.
To cut the wood for the kitchen fire
day by day and then burn it green. 1t
is worse to leave it for the wife to cut.
To let the cattle fodder themselves at
the haystack. 1t saves little labor,
but the waste will make their owner
poor.
To leave tools of any kind lying out
in the weather; to put them away I'M
cleaned, or to loan them to shiftless and
careless neighbors.
To turn the cattle out into the bare
fields in cold weather when there is moth.
ing fer them to eat there, and they lose
flesh shivering in the cold.
To plant an orchard and then to allow
cattle to browse the trees; to leave vacant
places in young orchard; to allow a
young orchard to remain in grass.
1t is shiftless to allow weeds TO occupy
any portion of the farm, aud very shift
less to allow bushes to occupy several
rods of ground along the fence rows.
1t is a thoughtless and very danger
9us thing for farmer to put his name
IN paper presented by stranger. Also,
% 90 on the notes of friends and neigh
pors.
1t is q short-sighted policy to elect
to the township and county Offices the
men who cannot support themselves in
the ordinary pursuits of life. 1t is also
costly.
1t is reckless to buy trees of an utter
stranger, also, groceries, spices and such
articles as can easily be adulterated.
Nine times out of ten one will be cheated
by so doing,
1t is shiftless trick to employ the
teacher who will work for the least
wages. 1t is as bad to leave a family of
boys and girl to grow up without good
books and papers.
1t is heartless thing for farmer to
allow his wife to work sixteen or eighteen
hours, when his own work is completed
in ten hours. On the farm, as elsewhere,
husband and wife should be "equal
partners"
To wade through mud to the barn and
outbuildings when good dry paths can
so easily be made. So pay heavy doc
tors bills for wife and children be-
cause their feet became wet through lack
of good paths.
To have no garden and to buy stale
vegetables of a huckster. 1t is nearly as
bad to have Il miserable little garden,
which the good wife and her girl pain
fully weed, aud secure a few stunted
vegetables, when large crops could be
had with little trouble if the garden
were cultivated by horse power,-Ameri.

A Process for Burning Water

A gentleman from Biloxi has discov-
cred process for burning water. 4 cor
respondent of the Herald of that city
says the process is a good one, and wants
the city to give to the inventor the ex-
elusive privilege of lighting for twenty
five years. He further says that it is
cheaper than oil, gas or electricity. If
the statement in the Herald is true, pos
,ibly our people could be induced to give
it trial.-Pass Christian (Za.) Beacon,

that ''fodder corn be cut when the corn

It is now thought better to put both

talks alone. The whole is cut into

agreement among cxperimenters in regard
70 the necessity of heavily weighing the
contents of the silo. In Kansas a layer
Of tarred paper covered eighteen inches
ieep with green grass has been found as
,ffectual as weighing heavily with rocks.
Exclusion of the air seems more impor-
!ant than piling on weights.
There are so many places either in or
adjacent to farm buildings already exist
ing where silos may be located, with the
manner of construction, filling and TAX
ing out adapted to varying cases, that
beginners will always be benefited by
visiting neigbboring silos and pro6ting
by what they can learn from the expert
snce of others. Mature corn, containing
but little water, and close packing in an
lir-tight silo appear to produce the best
Iilage.-New York World.

HOW TO INCREASE

HOW TO INCREASE THE MANURE PILE.
/ Farmers do not always give as much
attention to increasing the size of the
manure pile as they might. There are
the pig pens, and most of them are wet
and filthy, the pigs naturally being in the
same condition. There is always plenty
of chaf OF waste material of one kind o,
another around the barns or stables, and
this can be literally supplied When this
runs out leaves can be hauled from tho
woods during off days, put into near.
/ byshed, and used rs needed. If the farm
is near river, the rushes and dry grass
which come ashore in quantities in MANY
places can be hauled up, and make ex,
cellent bedding and manure. In this way
the writer has managed to keep his men
and teams busy when there was little elsa
to DO. The pigs were always comforta,
bic and clean, and large quantities of
manure were made, generally getting
from threc'or four large pig pens fifty to
sixty loads of fine manure. There was
at all times enough dry material to absorb
the liquid matter, and is prevent
much value from running down the
drains to be entirely lost and to make a
nuisance around the pens. The barn
. yard sloped toward the center, making
/ quite large and wide place for the
/ liquid manure from the stables and barn.
/ yard to collect in. Here were deposited
considerable quantities, from time to
time, of waste corn stalks, leaves from
the woods, rushes and dry .rass from the
river, and any other waste, absorbent
! materials. The leaves and dried PUSHES
were also used for bedding for the horses
and cattle; nothing was better or cheap.
or; the stables were always clean and
tree from wet, slush and dampness. On
The farm were neat, roomy, comfortable
hen-houses, in which the poultry was
housed every night and not permitted to
roost on trees, wagons, plows, and other
implements in the sheds. By cleaning
out the hen-houses every month. and
keeping the floors well sanded, several
barrels of good manure were secured
which made the corn fairly iump when
applied to it in the spring. This manure
was kept in barrels, under cover, in the
best possible condition for APPLYING to
corn, onions, or other crops.-Americaa

EFEEcr oE FOOD ON MILK.

If the quality of the food given COW
would materially change the quality OF
the milk there would be little need OF
trying to improve the breed of mich
COWS by selection as now generally prac-
tised, and any common COW giving what
is termed "bue milk" could be made to
give Jersey cream by simply feeding on
oil cake and other rich and oily food. An
English author, in referring to the influ,
ence of food on milk, has very aptly said
Gas respects the quantity and chemical
composition of milk, surprisingly little
influence is exerted by either the kind OF
the physiological condition of the food,
or by any circumstances connected with
it, except the proportion of its nutritive.
ness and degree of its digestibility. The
controlling power of particular sorts Of
food over the milking properties of the
COW has been almost everywhere topic
of boastful defamation and pseudo-sci
entiic discussion among the illiterate phi
losophers Of the dairy; but the alleged
power has either been mistaken for some
overlooked and widely different control.

heated fancy and distorted observation.
of its advocates" 1t is true, however,
that food will impart to the milk AM
butter its favor, but this is distinct
property from what is termed richness OF

the Jail was not success for the reformation
OF boys, for there was no work there and he

opportunity of escaping the penitentiary, and
sentenced him TO six months in Jail.
