SKINNED MIX for lambs

More money can be got out of skim milk
by feeding it to lambs than by the usual
plan of throwing it to the hogs, according
to the Wisconsin experiment station. Re
suits of experiments made are given in the
annual report of the station for 1890. -Four
lambs were taken from their mothers when
about 10 days old and fed milk from bot
tie four times daily for II days. During
this time they consumed 226 pounds OF full
milk, gaining 30 pounds, or nearly half a
pound each daily. AT this rate it would
require SO pounds of full milk to make
100 pounds of gain, and valuing the milk
at so cents per hundred, fair summer
price, the cost of 100 pounds of gain would
be S3.47.
The lambs were next put on sweet SKIM
milk, and fed oats with green clover and
green fodder corn. For the first period OF
IS days they drank 424 pounds of sweet
skim milk and ate IA pounds of oats and ~
pounds of green clover, gaining 50 pounds,
or nearly half pound each daily, At tins
rate 800 pounds of sweet skim milk with
26 pounds of oats and go pounds of green
feed would make 100 pounds of gain. Val
uing skim milk at 25 cents per hundred,
oats at so cents per hundred, and green
corn and clover at 81 per ton, the feed
would cost $3.50 for 100 pounds of gain.
In September the cost of 100 pounds OF

Condition of the Wheat CrOp---Better
Times for Farmers.

The April report of the department of
agriculture states that the condition of win
ter wheat has been exceeded but once in ten
years. and but three times during the his
tory of crop reporting by the department.
The returns indicate nearly as perfect a
condition of the crop as it is possible to
reach Concerning the worlds supply of
wheat the report says:
1T is not true that the wheat of the world
is declining 1t is not difficult to prove the
existence of 2300 million bushels as an
average and there is no prospect of decrease
Annual fluctuations, from climatic causes,
will produce variation in price, which the
distribution of harvests of different climates
through the year and increase of interna-
tional transportation facilities will help to
equaize The United States will continue
to produce a surplus for export, until the
wheat culture of the plains shall have given
place to more varied and profitable culture,
and increasing numbers of non-agricultural
population shall require for bread the en-
tire crop.
1T is proper to say that the tendency is
towards a better distribution of crops, and
to higher prices and greater profits. The
proportion of agricultural labor will de-
crease, non-agricultural will increase, agri-
cultural production will be more varied,
rural intelligence and skill will advance,
and the farmer be in better position to de-
mand and secure an equitable share in the
net proceeds of national industries"

AGRICULTURAL.
now to Have Good Roads and Other
Nnnd Thinus.

Good Things.
There are many reasons why the farm
en- should be interested in the subject of
roads. In all rural towns he
paws the largest share of tax for their sup
port The farmer is the principal builder
and repairer of the roads. Hence if his
work is wisely planned out, il will result
not only in good roads, but in wise expend-
iture of means employed. One man with
a gang of men and teams will do twice as
much on a highway as another man with
the same help in the same time, taking into
account not only the amendment of the
road for present travel, but for the preser-
Walton. He should study up and learn all
those conditions that conduce to a good
road and its preservation. He pays
for them, he constructs Them he uses
them, so that to him, good, safe, perma-
ncnt roads are of the most vital importance.
But good. safe roads are also valuable to
every tax payer and resident in the town
ship. The value of all property is en-
HANGED by good roads, more than their cost
and the comfort and safety they bestow are
so much added to the clear profit of the in
vestment.'
Thus says Secretary Gold of the Con-
necticut board of agriculture, and all
farmers will concur. But how are we to
improve the roads? There is one indis-
pensable first condition. We cannot have
good roads in neighborhoods where there
are not a sufficient number of inhabitants
and a sufficient amount of taxable proper
ty to maintain them. Very sparsely set
tied districts must necessarily have poor
roads unless, as is sometimes the case, a
road passing through a thinly inhabited
neighborhood is maintained wholly or part
ly at the expense of the more populous dis
tricts which the road connects. Herein is
shown one of the many facts which illus
tratp the interest of the community in
keeping up the occupancy of the farms.
Better roads, better schools, better libra
ries. better preachers, better social privi-
legcs and, in general, lighter taxation
would follow as a consequence of large
increase of population in the farming
towns. We have already seen in many of
the towns of this state that the converse
of this proposition is true. Let us encour-
age honest people from other states and
from other countries to make homes among
us. If the population of our country
towns was increased 100 per cent the whole
would find better support than does the
half There is not single good reason
that Vermont should fall so far behind the
average of the states in growth of popula-
ton.

How to Plant Trees.

II have planted several thousands of trees
during the last ten years. says a nursery
man, land have seldom been called upon to
replace one that has died. The success is
the result of very simple but seldom fail
ing precaution. When the tree is planted
a piece of wood not less than three inches
wide, and high enough to reach the lowest
branches, should be driven into the ground
just south of the tree. This keeps the sun
off during two-thirds of the day, and pre-
vents the sap and bark being burned up
before new roots have been formed. Any
one adopting this plan will be certain to
have success with his trees no matter how
poorly they look when first planted out. ''

gain was as high as $3.50 and when the
mllk was withdrawn it cost $406.
From trials in feeding pigs it was found
to take 654 pounds of sweet milk and 1913
pounds of corn meal and shorts to make
lOO pounds of gain, and with shotes g84
pounds of sweet milk and ~ pounds of
corn meal, so the figures lead to the conclu-
sion that pigs do not make so much the
pest use or their feed as is generally sup
posed. 1t has not get been learned wheth-
er lambs can be taught to drink milk from
pail as readily as calves, but if they can.
why cannot they be used to consume milk
ON dairy farms with profit? 1t will often
pay to force lambs rapidly, and cannot
skim milk be used for this purpose?
