As soon as the wheat is off plow the
land, harrow thoroughly. Sow broad
cast one pound of seed to the acre, and
go over it with heavy roller. 1t is i'm
portant to sow Immediately after harrow
ing the land, aud il the roller is light
and cannot be weighted down, 90 over
twice. When the turnips are large
enough TO hoe take the cultivator, set
the shovels one foot apart and go through
them; or better set cultivator shovels
into long stick like corn marker, one
foot apart. At the end of eight or ten
days go through the turnips again cross
ways and they are as good as hoed. 1t is
easy to raise from one hundred to three
hundred bushels to the acre if the land is
in good order. If not, put ten to fifteen
bushels of hen manure on before harrow

LUMP on TIE JAW.

The hard, fast lump on the cows Jaw
is due to a disease of the bone known as
actino-mykosis. 1t is parasitic, and is
caused by germ which finds lodgment
in the jaw through the diseased teeth or
gums. The fungus eats away the bone,
which becomes cavernous and forms a
cellular tumor, from which very fetid
pus peculiar to decaying bone is dis
charged. There is no doubt of the con-
tagiousness of the disease and of its in.
heritance from diseased parents. It's
rapid spread in the West among the
herds on the ranges is sufficient proof
of both of these conclusions, which are
admitted by all American veterinary ex-
perts, although German surgeon denies
1t. 1t is generally thought to be in
curable, but it has been Cured by long
continued doses of hyposulphite of soda,
one ounce daily given in bran mash, and
if care be taken in preventing its spread
by breeding diseased animals or animals
related to them, 1t might be eradicated
from herd in time. The use of the
meat may be innocuous, but tastes differ
in regard to eating meat of animals hav-
ing contagious diseases. YORK.

HONEY VINEGAR.

The proper way to make honey vim
egar out of what might easily be wasted
in any well-conducted apiary, and even
from the poorer grades of honey, which
are not usually in demand, may be found
from the following paragraphs, which
seem to have been written by one who
knows. One pound of honey and one
gallon of water are the proper proper
tions to make a good vinegar. That IS,
twenty-nine pounds of honey will make
twater enough being added to ELL regu-
lar thirty-two gallon barreD one barrel of
the best vinegar. The vessels used TO
make it in are common alcohol barrels
which 'are found at drug stores. Saw
out one of the barrel-heads, and paint
the outside, to prevent the iron-hoops
from being destroyed by the vinegar.
The barrels and vinegar are kept in the
cellar, so covered with burlap as to keep
the dust out and let the air in.
One year converts this water and honey
into the choicest vinegar. More age
will make it sharper, but at one year old
1t is fine enough for any use. Sweetened
water from washing honey drippings is
the most common waste of the apiary,
and to utilize it is presumed to be de-
sirable matter in connection with honey
vinegar. Still, with the low price Of
honey, bee-keepers may find reason
able outlet for some of their poor honey,
such as is unfit to sell as a luxury for
table use.-Fdrm, Field and Stockmaa.

plowing in tho Americ1n Agrieulturist,
writes Joseph Harris, but learn by lot-
ters received from readers that there are
points not yet clearly understood. In
repeatedly advocating fall blowing, what
was particularly in mind was not sod
land, but land on which a crop Of corn,
or potatoes, or bears, or roots had been
grown, and which was intended for oats
or barley in tho spring. Little or moth
ing was said about plowing sod land In
the fall; on my own farm--of late years,
at any rate--1 seldom, IL ever, plow sod
land in the fall, and that not from the
oretical reasons only, but because there
Is not time and because, further, sod
land can be plowed in the spring at
times when other land is too wet and
sticky to work TO advantage.
1t is of great Importance to SOW barley
and oats early in the spring. A few days
difference in time Of sowing often makes
all the difference between good crop
and poor one-and what difference
that is all experienced farmers know. 1t
is not merely the loss of all profit from
our labors, but the land is foul with
weeds and In poor condition generally.
My own land varies considerably in char
acter. Much of 1t is rolling land, the
knobs being sandy, while the lower
edges of the knolls are more or less
clayey, and the valleys between the knolls
vary from dark sand to sandy loan
and clayey loan. Perhaps these terms
do not convey distinct meaning. All IL
wish to show Is that the soil varies con-
siderably aud requires different methods
OF working. To get part of field into
good condition for oats or barely in the
spring requires three or four times the la
Dor required on other parts.
On such land as this (say field that
has been in corn the past season, and on
which one intends to sow oats in the
spring. L find an immense advantage
from fall plowing. As soon as the corn
is cut, and while it is standing in stocks
in the field, II have time like to start
the plows on the land between the rows
of stocks, and finish plowing after the
corn and stalks are removed.
On strong land put three horses on
the plow and turn upa good, deep fur
row, and leave the subsoil on top, where
it is exposed to the ameliorating action
of the air and frosts Of winter.
Such fall -plowed land is cleaner and
much more easily prepared for spring
crops than IL it had not been plowed. In
plowing for corn, my practice is to plow
around the field, and thus avoid having
dead burrows. But, IN plowing in the
fall for spring crops, can, II necessary,
make narrow lands, and, b, connecting
the dead burrows with the necessary out
lets, can get rid of large quantity of
water in the early spring. These mar
row lands, by running a gang-plow SO as
to fill up the dead burrows, are easily
levelcd down, and, by cross-harrowing
with an Acme or other harrow, the land
can soon be got ready for the drill. 1
drill in $50 to 200 pounds of superphos-
pilates with the barley and oats, and
have reason to expect good crop, and
the land, after the oats or barley is har-
vested, is in better condition for plow-
ing for wheat than if it had not been
well and deeply plowed the fall prev ious.

BEER DoEs NOT oUENcH ruIRsr.

Tho greatest objection TO beer il it be not
the only one, as a popular drink, is that peo.
pie keep at it all the time. The quantities
that real votary consumes in the day, and
especially in hot day, arc enormous, and
the reason is, perhaps that it really does lit
tie or nothing toward quenching thirst. On
the contrary, there is much reason for be-
Loving that it steadily excites thirst, or, in
other words, provides for its own increased
consumption. 1t bids fair, however, to con-
quer the world. The product in America is
enormous, and it makes steady strides in sup
planting light wine in France. But nearly
all the arguments in its favor arc based on
Grafton whereas, as matter of fact, il Is
consumed immoderately, and when so con-
sumed is an undoubted deadener of some of
the faculties, although it may not produce
what is called intoxication. - Nei0 York

REQUIREMENTS FOR HONEY PRODUCTION.


In his address before the Ohio Bee
keepers Convention President Board.
man called attention to the universal ex-
perience of Ohio apiarists during the
past three years, in which the honey
yields have steadily decreased. He next
proceeded to prove that the decrease is
not dependent on the style of hive, the
race of bees, thick top bars, honey
boards, green cages or the various other
fixtures and conveniences introduced.
These are all well in their way, but they
do not produce honey. Among the
notable changes affecting the honey yield
Mr.. Boardman named the destruction of
forest trees incident to the advance of
civilization. This destruction is more
effective with the loss of the Eastwood
and the tulip tree or whitewood, both
prolific in nectar for the bees. This de-
struction of the Eastwood, especially, the
beekeepers are thoughtlessly encouraging
by the use of supplies made from that
timber.
The shortage Of the Ohio honey crop
was not, however, attributed entirely to
TWO
conditions necessary TO successful honey
production. These are abundance of
honey producing bloom and favorable
weather. The most important of these
conditions, the weather, is one over
which We have no control. There is in the
west, q vast domain where these two
favorable conditions nearly always exist
during the honey season; where almost
perpetual sunshine and unbouuded bloom
combine to make it a beekeepers' para
disc. 1t is where artificial irrigation is
substituted for the natural rainfall and
where the alfalfa clover grows in album
dance. This domain, Mr.. Boardman
predicted, will IN the no distant future
flow with honey; but as all cannot 90
west to seek this beekeepers' paradise,
they were advised as follows: ''Turn
your attention to improving the flowers
and extending bee forage. l would rec
ommend careful and patient experiment
with alfalfa clover by beekeepers wher-
ever it will thrive. We have at all events
a very near relation of this clover, and
equally as good for honey l am certain.
