at the West. Again cornmeal has been
fed a ration containing part cornmcal,
but IN addition such other ingredients
as dried blood, peas, shorts or skim
milk-foods rich to protein, Or lean
meat producing. To avoid redundancy,
the phrase corn ration" will be under
stood to mean corn, salt, ashes and
water; mixed ration" will mean parS
corn, and with the articles above men
toned containing considerable prOteic,
together with ashes, salt and water.
Professor w. 4. Henry says the following
seem TO be lair deductions from these
investigations:
For the market price or cost of pro-
duction, Indian corn is beyond all COM
parison the cheapest single food for hogs.
They will live long time and make d
fair gain upon an exclusive corn diet.
When kept upon such a ration, they grow
quite fat, but, when yet small, have the
form and appearance of mature hogs, be-
ing dwarfed in size. When kept in the
pen. they seem satisfied after eating, ly-
ing down in apparent comfort to await
the next meal. The carcass Of corn-fed
hogs contains more fat and less water,
twenty-five per cent less muscle, or lean
meat, and less blood than carcasses of
hogs given a mixed ration. The exclu-
sively corn-fed hogs also have smaller
livers and kidneys, the skeleton is light
er, and the bones not as strong; the hide
may be less, and the hair is not as strong.
Hogs living on corn-meal, water, and salt
did not seem TO have their bones strength
encd by feeding welE-water instead Of
rain-water. But hogs living On corn
meal, salt, and rain water mad their bones
doubled in strength by feeding hard
wood ashes, and still strengthened by
feeding ground bone. The ash material
in the bones of such hogs was doubled in
amount, ground bone giving better re-
suits than wood ashes. The hogs also
drank more water, consumed more food,
and made much heavier gains than those
not getting ground bone or ashes, but
did not have more muscle or lean meat.
Hence, Professor Henry's final conclusion
that while the body of the hog, perfect
or imperfect, is the result of inheritance,
it can be greatly modified by the kind of
food given. AgrlcuZturiSt.

THE START FOR ASPARAGUS.

Every farmers family uses potatoes.
The time, labor and fertility required for
their production are not considered, for
potatoes must be had. But they are
more expensive to raise than asparagus,
and their cultivation calls out more skill.
The labor needed to grow half an acre Of
potatoes each year would in three years
plant, transplant and establish for fifty
years large bed of asparagus, which
with little care. annually through this
half century, would load the home table
and the nearest market TAT handsome fig
urcs) with delicious luxury. Asparagus
is most easily gathered and prepared,
highly nutritious and healthful in its
tendencies, and acceptable to nearly
everybody. Procure OF raise thrifty one
vear-old plants, and set them at intervals
Of three feet in rows four feet apart
using the richest land of almos any kind,
although loan is best. keep it always
full Of plant food, which can be put on
al any season, and never too abundantly).
Open the drills deep enough to allow
several inches of soil above crowns of the
plants when they are set. Keep the
ground clean and the third year cut every
sprout as fast as ready. Stop cutting
when early peas come.--Nel0 York Iri-
tuJle.

HENS SETTING TOO CLOSELY.

The instinct of the hen to set. espc-
cialy of the Asiatic breeds, needs some
curbing, even for success in incubation.
If the hen does not get off at all to eat
for several days. the eggs become added
from too much warmth and exclusion
from the air. Wetting the eggs is also
important, not to soften the shells, but
to prevent the drying up Of their lining
inside the shell, which while moist adj
mits air enough through it to preserve
the life of the germ. Hens that set
themselves out of doors usually hatch
their entire setting. They are forced to
hustle for their food, are often wet by
rains and dews, and this keeps the eggs
moist. -B0St0n CuItirut0r.

BEST HORSES TO RAISE.

Whatever may be said of the market
east for scrub horses there is no doubt
but that there is demand, both at home
and abroad, for heavy draught horses.
There is more than double-yes, more
than treble-the common horses in use
than there are good ones, and more than
double bought and sold every day. Still,
if we count the difference in the price of
a pair Of common horses and good
draught team we will find that the latter
is in demand at figure much above the
difference in the cost of production.
Outside Of the original investment in
good mares and heavy stallion of high
standing the cost Of production is not so
very much larger than the cost of the
common scrub. Large horses, of course,
eat little more than small ones, and re-
quire little care, but they are generally
kind, easily broken and don't know any
thing but to pull, and with the eXcep-
ton Of the fleet roadster and the we'll
mated carriage horse is the most saleable
animal produced. Then the great beauty
of the draft horse is in the fact that, like
Il beef steer, he almost sells by weight.
There is at least but little training neces-
sarv TO tit him for service, and where a
man has but little idea Of how TO handle
or train u horse he can do but little bet
ter than to grow the heavy class. -Ne1o

PLANTING LARGE POTATOES.

The system of planting large potatoes
whole should be condemned, says a
writer in Ltdiana Farmer. Such supertiu-
Gus use is not at all reasonable, and that
Of selecting small potatoes for seed,
either cut or planted whole, is the re
verse Of economy. Sometimes a good
yield is obtained from small potato seed
when the variety is vigorous and in line
with favorable conditions. The eyes on
WclI-develOped potato are large and
capable of strong sprouts. The vigorous
sprout Of cutting from potato has the
advantage from the beginning. 1t yields
better and withstands variations of
weather with greater uniformity than the
small potato cutting with its numerous
small sprouts. The safe rule in prepar
ING potato cuttings is to select the best
samples within reach in health, uni
1ormity, and size, and cut them IN pieces
with an average of two eyes to a cutting.
While the seed of potato that is in its
PRIME IN yielding qualities may be saved
and continued in the same locality for
two or three years, it is best when prac-
ucable to obtain seed every second year
from a point 100 or more miles north OF
you. The potato will not acclimatc; 1t
loses vitality when kept stationary IN one
locality; it is benefited by change and
the movement should be from north TO
south.

About one o'clock in the afternoon the Jes-

Nine Mile Point, Kingston, Canada Many
people watched her as she struggled against
the storm. The steamer Hiram Calvin
started up the lake and an hour later
found the water logged Brock floating on her

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Open the mouths of all drains.
Breed from no scrubs this year.
What progress with the garden?
Remember that fiat culture is best for
dry soils and ridglng for wet
Remember tn; different soils require
different fertilizers, and want no others.
Will varieties of buckwheat cross and
mix? is one of the questions of the day.
Brains as we'll as farms are capable of
cultivation. Never lose sight of this
fact.
Children love to dig in the dirt. Why
should this love be destroyed by false
education?
Give your teams a change of diet.
You like it yourself, and SO do they. 1t
is appetizing.
When your soil needs potash only,
what is the use of putting on other fertil-
izing ingredients?
Push your work or your work will
push you. The first is much pleasanter,
besides being more profitable.
Good roads would reduce the cost of
hauling farm products to market at least
one half for the whole country
Sprinkling salt on the top and at the
bottom of garden walls is said to keep
snails from climbing up or down.
Give the eve clover hay, if you have
it, bran and crushed oats, and she will
provide the lamb with plenty of milk.
Rust and rot work necessarily for the
benefit of the manufacturers of farm
tools. 1t is we'll to not forget this fact.
Prepare your ground we'll before plant
ing, cultivate we'll, and, barring acct
dent. the harvest will not disappoint you.
Keep the stem of the tree smooth and
free from rough bark and suckers. Let
only that grow which is needed for future
use.
Every man should try to furnish him.
self with all necessary tools and not rely
too much on the good nature of his
neighbors.
In testing seeds the smaller seed that
are perfect terminate first, but are after
ward slower in development than the
larger ones.
If you are farmer, do not be accusing
the farm of producing the hard times.
Look in other directions if you want to
find the cause.
When ornamental shrubs are out Of
flower it is we'll to cut away the flower
clusters and not allow the shrubs to ex-
haust themselves in ripening seed, save
those with ornamental fruit. The same
may be said of herhaceous perennials,
though some of these seeds are often
wanted.
If you set buckeyes under hens set
them on the ground. If frost is entirely
out and the weather settled into spring,
you can place a cage over the hen and
arrange things so nothing will bother
her. Never under any circumstances
allow other hens to modest a sitter. 1t
will cause trouble and lots of it.
