PRUNING TREES.

4 The growth of different varieties of
apple trees is mostly so distinct that any
'fSee for pruning which fits one may be
inapplicable to another. Much depends
also upon the thrift of a tree. If vigor-
Gus, and making few limbs, common
sense teaches that these ought to be
headed back, to induce dcnser growth.
On the other hand, unthrifty trees, as a
rule, incline to form numerous twiggy
branches, and these should be judiciously
thinned ont, although a good coat of
manure and wood-ashes at the root might
answer better purpose. So, also, much
depends upon the direction of the limbs.
Varieties of spreading habit may be in
duced to take more compact form by
selecting m inside bud rs the terminal
point when pruning; and tree with up
night formal habit, should invariably be
quito an outside bud. Pruning orchards
in their younger years is preferable to
permitting the branches to become
large; the drain On the tree in the latter
case is more or less injurious. Regular
annual pruning is an orchard duty

GRADING UP TIE HERD.

It is ia regard to this matter of extra
feeding that the superior value of some
of the pure breeds of COWS become i'm
portant. { race of COWS that has been
bred to high feeding and en- excessive
disposition to digest and assiuilate food
rich in fat, which is a physiological iunc-
tion that may bs perpetuated end even

much more profitable than the native
COWS which have never been cultivated in
this way. Cross breeding of the two
races may develop THIS faculty in the
progeny; hence the frequent recommen-

heir herds by the use of pure-bred bulls

Counterfeit Coffee.

There are two kinds of bogus coffee,
an imitation bean and the ground article.
The bean is the most difficult to produce,
and it is only recently that actual success
in this direction has been attained. The
bogus bean must not only look like the
genuine berry when raw but it should be
capable of taking proper color when
roasted. A very good specimen is now
manufactured in Philadelphia and Tren-
ton, being composed of rye -four, glucose
and water. The soft paste is then
moulded and carefully dried. To the eye
of an expert the presence OF this imita-
ton is easy of detection, and it cannot be
used to any great extent among whole
salers.
But when coffee goes to the retailer
adulteration begins. Sometimes the re-
taller is deceived, but nine times out of
ten he is the one who introduces qdul-
teration. The ground article is very
easily produced, for then it is only neces-
sary to give the material proper color
and infusing an aroma by strong decor
tions of coffee essence. When mixed
with real coffee even the expert eye and
tongue may be deceived, while to the Or
dinary consumer it seems to be the genu-
Inc product.
Bogus coffee beans have only a slight
resemblance to the natural berry, fol
though they possess proper form the ci-
catrice on the inner face is too smooth.
Then again the gray color of the raw bean
is not quite up to the mark, but when
these manufactured beans are roasted with
five per cent. of genuine coffee they find
a ready sale. These bogus beans can be
made at a cost of $50 per 1000 pounds.
and when mixed with fifty pounds Of
! pure coffee the whole 1850 pounds cost
S37 so or three and three quarters cents
Per pound, SO that profit of nearly JOG
DEF cent. is the result. .-Ncp York KayM

California Corn.

A Kern County (Cal.) farmer states
that last June he sowed 800 acres of land
with corn. In October he harvested 300
acres Of it, obtaining thirty-six sacks or
about two tons per acre. Into the re-
manning 500 acres 800 head of cattle
were turned, and in about month they
had trodden it all down so that It looked
like field of harvest-past cornstalks, but
the ground was covered almost white
with the threshed- out kernels. Twelve
hundred hogs were then turned in, and
they are said to-day to be the finest,
largest, LATEST and fattest hogs in the
State.

HoG-UoUsEs.

There are so many different plans OF
hog-houses that any one which is pre-
scnted to farmers who wish to build, is
sure to find some one who thinks it just
meets his wants. The writer saw house
built something like the one described in
this article years ago, and for economy
of space and general usefulness 1t Is sell
dom improved upon.
1t is not necessary, and indeed is often
improbable, to construct large, expen-
sive houses. A dry, warm shelter for
winter, and cool retreat for summer IS
all that is needed.
This house is twenty feet wide by
twenty-five feet long, making room for
eight pens six feet wide by eight feet
in length, or four pens twelve by eight,
making a sleeping-pcn and feeding-pen
adjoining. The sides are but four feet
above the floor, the centre-posts eight
feet high, and placed eight feet apart.
Under the upper roof are small windows
which admit light and air directly into
the pens. The partitions are movable,
like gates, and can be all taken out after
the spring breeding season Is over, giving
a good large feeding floor for little pigs.
Each pen has a six-foot panel for its
front, which can be opened directly
across the alley to guide one of the BROOD
sows into the pen designed for it.
The yards outside extend beyond the
ends of the building sixteen feet high, so
as to give all the room possible for exer-
else. The doors into these yards are
situated at each end, and for the two
middle pens are placed one on each side
of the middle.
When fall comes the wide center can
be converted into a corn-crib, holding at
least five hundred bushels of corn, enough
to fatten fifty pigs, the number the house
is supposed to accommodate. One hun
dred dollars will put this house up in
/ good shape, all shingled and painted. If
the farmer does his own work and uses
common boards for the sides and ends,
it need not cost as much as this sum.
But we want building which is
wind proof in March, so use sheeting and
drop siding for the outside, and make
the roof warm also. The large doors at
each end remain closed most OF the time.
A small door on the north and double
door on the south furnish access for feed
ing and care. Water is pumped into
the milk-tank and conducted into the
hog-house in pipes, into tank which
remains full, being governed by a float
valve. This makes feeding quite easy.
The oats, shcllcd corn and meal for feed
is stored in granary near by, so no pro-
vision is made for room for such feed

What are your jewels and what are your

MEAT FOR LAYING HENS.

There is no doubt that fresh meat is
excellent to make hens lay. 1t contains
much of the material OF which the egg is
composed, and with ground bone for
making the shell constitutes a perfect egg
food. But it is too heating for exclusive
feeding, and unless mixed with grain, it
will make the eggs strong, like those OF
ducks and waterfowl. 1t is possible, by
giving the hens wheat, oats and buck
wheat, with plenty of gravel and lime,
to keep hens in laying condition with
little and perhaps even with no meat ex-
cept insects they pick UP in their range.

FRESH RoNEs FOR FOWLS.

1t is comparatively easy to procure Of
Itchers the bony pieces of animals they
glaughter, and which are worth more even
than entire meat to make fowls lay. Break
the bones up with hammer, after boil
ing them so as to make them softer. 1t
does not matter if some of the pieces are
as large as chestnut. The gizzard will
quickly grind them finer if the fowls are
supplied with gravel. Its the bone ma
terial that is necessary in making both
eggs and shell. Fowls thus fed will
make much more valuable manure than
they will fed on any kind of grain.

A Peculiar Coincidence.

A coincidence that is very remarkable
is reported from Boston. A teamstaE
who had been hurt By car cunning into
his wagon brought suit for damages
against the railway company. The case
came up a few days ago, and the jury
decided to visit the scene of the collision
"a steep hill. They embarked in a car
belonging to the defendant, and had just
reached the hilf when the car ran into a
furniture wagon, breaking two Of the

UNDERGROUND STABLES.

1t is not every farmer who can afford a
basement barn, but the next best substi-
tute is-a stable partly underground, or at
least banked up with earth to exclude
cold. Out West the settlers dig holes in
the banks, which are protected by tim
bers from falling in, for their own dwell
4hgs. These are called "dugouts," and
are better projections against billiards
J and cyclones than are dwellings above
ground. 1t is only natural that the same
style of underground protection should
be devised for stock. 1t is comparatively
inexpensive to build such dugouts, espe-
cially if sawed lumber is scarce or dear.
A few poles cut from the woods will
hold up the walls and roof, which may
be constructed of equally inexpensive
material. Cultirator.

UNTHRTFFY HOGS.

1t IS best to put the weakling pigs by
themselves to avoid the hustling around
which they get from the strong ones.
The most frequent cause of poor pigs is
overfeeding when they are young, and
they hardly recover from it. But If kept
by themselves and fed carefully on sweet
food in moderation they will do far bet
ter and generally get strong and make a
fair growth. If the pig is scurfy it

This disease may attack many Of our
domestic animals. 1t is contagious, and
is caused by minute insect burrowing
under the skin. Live stock closely con-
fined in winter quarters are more liable
to spread the disease. Animals thus
affected should be separated and treated
pTsistcntly till cured. The affected parts
should be thoroughly cleansed with soap
and water, dried, and have we'll rubbed

BINDING A LOAD OF HAY.

If hay or straw is to be drawn any dis
tance over hard roads, it is important to
bind it firmly. A windlass or tackle
fastened to the wagon-rack will make this
binding much more easy, and also secure
frmer pressure on the binder than could
otherwise be had. Unless firmly pressed
down, the binder, when jolted over rough
roads, soon gets out of place and does as
much harm as good.
