ror and Farmer.
A coon PLAN OF ROTATION.

A good system or plan of rotation is to
plow clover under, and sow to wheat and
with timothy, followed in the spring
with clover, securing in this way stand
of grass. Cut two crops of hay, and
plow up the meadow in the fall, and
plant to corn the next spring; then SOW
to oats and clover again. Other crops
can be used or added, with truck
patch for potatoes, sorghum, beans, cab.
bage AMI this class of crops, with a sup
ply of tree and small fruits, and garden.
This will, of course, imply the plow-
ing up of at least a part of the meadow
last year, and planting TO corn-and OF
the clover, and sowing TO wheat. Part
of the farm should nearly always be in
pasture, if stock is kept; and if
the best profit is realized with this sys-
tenn of rotation, sufficient number of
stock should be kept to consume nearly
or quite all the products. But it is not
always the best plan to either plow up
the pasture or the meadow. Properly
managed, these can be kept in grass for
q number of years without change, and
yet profitable crops of grass be realized.
With the meadows especially, it will
be necessary to apply more or less fer
tilizers, in order to keep IN a proper con-
dition to make a good growth; but this
can be done by applying a good dressing
OF well rotted and properly fined manure
over the surface. In some cases a good
narrowing that will fine the manure and
loosen up the surface, can be proftably
given, and so long as good crops of grass
can be secured it will not be necessary to
disturb. In many cases a meadow can
be readily thickened up by narrowing
thoroughly and then sowing seed, and
using brush to cover. The meadow
and pasture ought to pay as good per
cent. of profit as the rest of the farm;
and very important item in this is n
good even stand of grass. And when
this is secured, it is often not best to
change-at least not as often as will be
necessary if the meadows and pastures
are made part of regular system of
rotation. Whenever either fail, from
any cause, to yield a good growth of
grass, it will be best to turn under and
plant to something else, and depend upon
new meadow and pasture for grass and
hay. This is especially the case when,
from the texture of the soil, seeding to
grass either for meadow or pasture is con-
sidered as uncertain. Prairie Farmer.

A Brave Four. Year.Old Child.

A plucky four-year-old baby lives in
Oskaloosa, Iowa. 1t is the child of Mrs.
Wilson, and while playing about the
mouth Of deep well, covered by loose
boards, fell in. The well is thirty feet
deep and contained ten feet of water at
the time. The mother saw the child
fall and, frantically grabbing clothes
line, lowered it into the well. The
child grasped the line, but Of course
could not hold on tight enough to be
drawn out, 50 the mother tied her end
above.
"Will pet hold on tight till mamma
runs for papal" tremblingly cried the
mother to the little one.
"Ess," came brave little sob from
below.
The mother hurried away and soon re-
turned with the father and several other
men who, after much difficulty, rescued
the child from its chilly bath. The little
one was almost unconscious from cold
when taken out, but had bravely clung
10 the clothes-line all the time, holding
its head above water. The happy mother
hugged her rescued one and wept for
JOY. while the assembled crowd threw
up their hats and cheered in acknowl.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Fowls should never be permitted to
have access to the horse stable, nor the
feed room nor haymow. Their rooms
should be entirely separate from the
stable, so that they may not always be
ready to slip in whenever a door is
opened.
Most amateurs in gardening err in
growing their vegetables too closely
that is, in not thinning them enough.
So treated, they are not only much
smaller, but also inferior in quality.
Those who desire good beets, turnips,
parsnips and carrots should remember
this.
One of the drawbacks to the germina-
tion of seeds is that they are covered
with too much earth when planted The
smaller the seed the less covering re-
quired. Such seeds as kale, cabbage,
turnip, lettuce, carrot and parsnip need
only one-eighth of an inch of earth over
them.
The buds of peach trees have swollen
unusually for this season, and there is
prospect of the crop being destroyed by
late frosts. If the trees are young the
failure to produce fruit may be an adj
vantage, as the trees will probably make
longer growth and be in better con-
dition for producing fruit next year.
Chestnuts, walnuts, almonds, butter
nuts and pecans can be grown and will
give good variety, and on many places
on the farm they can be planted and
grown to advantage as easily as other
varieties of trees that bear such fruits as
nuts of marketable value, while the
wood of the nut trees are of equal value.
If one will go through the orchard in
come, and cut off and burn all twigs
which have the eggs of the tent caterpil-
lars, he will save much trouble. The
eggs are in rings enclrcling the twigs.
This preventive measure is practicable
only with low-headed trees, unless lad
der is used.
Get as many early chicks out as you
can, it means early laying pullets in the
fall and eggs in winter you know are
valuable and profitable. But weed out
the culls quickly after you see what you
have; no use feeding poor stock, they
eat as m lch as the good. Now where is
the economy in keeping theml This
system of managing your stock should
result well in every instance. 1t is
always better to test new plan before
adopting it; we advise you to try this and
see what there is in it.
Variety in feeding is not only highly
appreciated by poultry, but, in the ex-
perience of those who have tried this
plan, as well as the more general system
of feeding out whole grain only as a
regular food, it has been found that the
/ former is much the best toward keeping
domestic fowls constantly in good thrift.
By variety we mean both raw and cooked
food-meat, vegetables, scraps, green
food, corn, oats, rice, barley, wheat,
pounded bones, etc. Either for laying
fowls, for breeders, or for growing stock,
the varied feeding plan is always most
| beneficial

oARE AND PROFIT IN SHEEP.

If your sheep pens are not in order,
you cannot repair them and get them in
comfortable condition any too soon.
Sheep need warm, comfortable quarters
SO that they will not need to huddle too
close together to retain little warmth
No open holes or cracks, however small,
should be left for the wind 10 blow
through and the snow 10 sift in, making
cold streak clear across the pen. The
ceiling or roof does not need to be high,
yet good ventilation should be provided
for, while an agreeable temperature of 80
TO 60 degrees is kept throughout the
sheep pen. No cheap rickety concern
will answer the purpose. But how many
really good winter quarters for sheep are
prOvidedi In the recent storms in Colo
rado and Texas sheep perished by the
thousands for want Of shelter They
suffer everywhere from the same cause
The time is coming when men will better
protect their animals.
The profit on sheep growing does not
all come iron one source. 1t is not con-
fined 70 the receipts for wool, nor yet TO
what the mutton and young lambs bring
Nor, in the case of blooded stock, IS it
confined to receipts for animals for breed
ing purposes. Neither is it confined to
all these three combined. There is value
in the droppings of the sheep. They en-
rich the land wherever they 90, aud not
only consume weeds that would other
wise be an increasing nuisance, but they
live on much that would 90 TO waste be-
Cause other animals reject it. With good
fences they give little trouble, because
they attend strictly TO business. In sum
mer give them a good range, plenty ol
salt and good water, and keep the dog
away. Beyond these they do not need

Followed a Horse Car 10000 Miles.

An owensboro Ky.) dog followed a
street car in that place for nearly year,
and travelled in that time 40, 200 miles.
His travels were cut short by piece of
poisoned meat, and the Owensboro
Messenger thus Eliminates his career:
"The queer freak Of the dogs follow
ing the car was a singular illustration of
his faithfulness. In the early days of
last March countryman came to town,
bringing the dog with him. He con-
cluded while here to take a street car
ride, and when he got on the car the dog
trotted along behind, as he had been
wont to do with his masters wagon.
When the man got off the car he passed
out the front, instead of the rear, where
he went in. The dog thus missed him,
and nothing could induce the animal to
leave the car without his master. He
followed that car for days, almost re-
fusing to eat, but at last he grew to like
the business and followed it to the day
of his death -

REMEDY FOR POTATO BUGS.

~ item was extensively published
soTe time since, to the effect that bean
SEED in each potato hill would keep away
fhe potato beetle. The theory was that
the smell of the bean was so obnoxious
that the bug would not feed in its vicin-
ity. Having this in mind / have planted
this season several rows OF late potatoes,
alternating with rows of early red valen-
tine beans. The beans were up some
time before the potatoes, and, according
to the theory, should have acted as
'scare-bugs. But as soon as the potato
sprouts appeared above ground the omni-
present beetle found them and went to
work with his usual activity. Although
the bugs confined their depredations to
the potatoes L several times found them
upon the bean plants, but never any evil
dence that they had been feeding there.
AS the pods began to develop on the
deans, while the potatoes were in the
first stages of growth, was compelled
to desist from applying insecticides for
fear of poisoning the beans. Thus the
potatoes bid fair to be total loss. Has
any one else tried the "bean remedy2"

FEEDING POULTRY.

The food given poultry in the morning
should be soft food and we'll cooked, and
in cold weather it should be fed when
nearly at blood-heat. Cornmeal and
ground oats, of each one part, and two
parts of wheat bran, makes good food for
breakfast. Cook or scald it. and feed
it dry enough to crumble between the
thumb and fingers; no food should be
given poultry in a clammy or sloppy
state. Season this with salt and pepper
as if for your own table, only making it
pretty hot with pepper in very cold
weather. Have Il portion of the floor
covered some six inches deep with straw,
and at noon scatter among it some oats,
rye, barley, wheat, and once week sun
flower seed, and let them scratch for it.
The exercise will be beneficial TO them.
Hang a cabbage head up so it will be
some two feet or more from the floor;
they will find a way to reach it.
Their evening meal should consist sole
ly of good, sound corn. We say feed
corn at night for two very good reasons;
it takes corn longer to digest than most
foods, and by feeding your fowls corn at
night they will not be nearly so hungry
in the morning as they would be were
they fed upon other food and, again,
corn is great fat-forming food, hence
heating one; and as the nights are
colder than the days, and the fowls are
upon their roost, and taking no exercise,
hence whatever will aid them to keep
up the animal heat will be highly bene-
fetal

Tmproremont In ArtllloInI IImhn.

The latest improvement in artificial
limbs consists in forming the leg and
foot part Of single piece of wood, hav.
ing the grain curved naturally in its
growth, such pieces being procured from
the parts of the trunk contagious to tho
roots and branches of trees. Limbs made
in this way are stronger with the same
amount Of wood remaining in them than
when made of parts and glued together,
and arc made waterproof, which is a
valuable feature when the occupation of
the wearer exposes it to constant damp
ness, or to water i,self, as in fishing,
mining, dredging, etc. BY making
limbs in this manner from natural curves
in the growth of the wood, it has become
practicable to make light aud substantial
artificial feet, adapted to partial ampu-
tation of the foot. The advantage de-
rived from lightness of artificial substi-
tutes will readily he apparent when the
resistance TO motion from inertia is con-
sidered.
