W. N. CULLEN
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1891-04-30

At the late annual convention of the
New York beekeepers among questions
of Importance discussed was the one of
honey plants. AS is usual when this
topic is introduced considerable differ
ence Of opinion prevailed. The majority,
however, favored alsike clover for bee-
keepers. One member, who has grown
it since 1882, claimed that it failed to
secrete honey only once during that time,
and it was season when white clover
also failed. He not only prefers the al
sike to white clover for honey, but said
that it makes the best fodder for sheep
and cows. He sows it with red clover
and timothy, both for honey and hay, as
it is liable to lodge badly if sown alone.
Another member, who Endorsed the fore
going and who now sows alsike instead
of red clover, found the honey from it
as good in quality as the white clover
honey. He did not think it yielded as
large crop of hay, but it is of better
quality. In regard to that much adver-
tised Chapman honey plant, the opinion
appeared to be that it is hard plant to
grow and not so profitable as the clovers.
Bees, it was told, work well on alfalfa
when the circumstances are all favor
able, but the various experiences related
did not favor alfalfa as honey plant.

How to Grow Big Corn Crops.


An Indiana farmer, writing in The
Farmers Review, tells how he has
gained his prize crops. He says:
The acre of corn with which l COM
peted for premium in 1899, and on
which l had drilled 500 pounds of phos-
phate, was planted three feet and two
feet alternately in width, with one stalk
every twelve inches in the row, and
yielded me 115 bushels. The same acre
was planted again last year with rows six
feet and three feet alternately, with
stalks twelve inches in row, and yielded
100 bushels of corn of a far superior quail
ity to the year before. No fertilizer was
used this time and the season was not
quite so good as the. year befora
| concluded, therefore, that made a
mistake in planting my corn too close to-
gether. Two one-fourth acre plats were
selected in which have not been able to
detect any difference in quality of soil,
one plat planted as above, six feet and
three feet, and the other all the rows
three feet in width. The grains were
dropped in each case twelve inches in the
row, cultivation the same. Result: The
first named produced twenty-five bush
els good corn. The second, with one
third more corn planted, produced six
teen bushels good corn and eight bushels
light chaffy corn, equal in feeding value
to eighteen bushels good corn.
do not believe we can have any iron
clad rule tdplant by. Some ground will
stand closer planting than other l also
believe corn can stand closer planting in
Michigan or Wisconsin than it can in
southern Indiana or Kentucky.

HOW THE WISE MAN FIXES HIS N

HOW THE WISE MAN FIXES HIS TROUGH.
The following pertinent adviceis given
in Farm Journal, authority for the fore
going:
Plant out big lot of early sweet corn
to feed the pigs this summer. Look out
for the seed now Where the most is
said and done for pigs there thewisA pay
the best. The more you think Of your
pigs the more they will think of you.
Begin now to feed the brood sow, so she
will not be crazy when the little pigs are
born. Give her plenty of bran and sue
culent food. Let her have run out Of
doors.
Don't make a practice of breeding
young and miniature sows if you want
strong and healthy pigs. Don't feed
breeding sows corn, and so make them
fat; if you do, ten chances to one they
will kill their pigs. Don't go to the
other extreme and half starve them.
but give laxative food, such as roots,
bran or linseed meal. Don't let the
brood SOW run with shoats or other store
hogs, and at least put each sow by her
self, in the place where she is to have
her litter, week or ten days before she
is to farrow. 1t will pay you well after
weaving to feed the little pigs three
times day on warm food, feeding no
more than they will eat up clean. Give
them few oats to eat between meals.
See how much pork product can be
sold in manufactured state and co Oat
double the price for it-sausage, head
cheese, spare ribs, bacon, hams and
shoulders and lard. These are the
names by which to sell the pigs. They
sound better than simply pork. Put
them in the best possible shape and sell
by sample, taking orders and then de-
ivering afterward.

TO THE
FARMERS Of VERMONT !!

1t has accidehtly come TO
my knowledge that you oc-
casionally make complaints
because of the small sums re-
ceived for your Dairy skins.
The fault is your own, for if
you would take them off and
properly care for them you
would rarely find a skin that
would bring you less than so
cents, and a great many of
them would bring you 60, 70
and even 80 cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter,
are poor property and bring a
poor price. It will cost you
only penny for a postal card
on which to send me your adj
dress, to secure full printed
directions as to the proper
method Of taking off and caring
for your calf skins. | will very
gladly mail these to you free,
postpaid, if you will send me
your name and SO request.
In most of the towns of Ver-
mont | have buyers but in To-
calities where / have none l
would suggest that a half doz-
en- farmers club together and
-shiptheir skins in quantities of
% or more. in which case l
will pay all freights after de-
livery at R. R. depot. | can
not allow you wholesale prices
in towns where | have a buy
er but where / have none [
will gladly arrange with any
reliable farmer who is willing
to attend to the matter Of col
lccting skins taken off in his
vicinity, and in such case will
of course allow the buyers
commission.

A LIaATURE KNOT.

Caustic agents are horribly slow and un-
certain, and, in the end, troublesome to
both owner and patient, so that there
are very few instances where their use
is to be recommended. Growths in
which the base is diffuse, and round
which it is impossible to get a ligature,
should be dissected out or removed with
the hot iron; but in all cases where prac-
ticable the ligature is best, as the excres-
cence is less likely to grow again when
removed in this way. The action of the
ligature is to cause construction, and de-
prive the growth of the blood supply by
which it is nourished, and when this is
done 1t dies and drops off.
Large growths have corresponding
ly large vessel of supply, and when these
are removed with the knife, unless the
vessels are picked up and tied or scared
with the hot iron, the hemorrhage is
frequently considerable and often very
troublesome to the amateur surgeon.
With the ligature there is none of this,

Pigs Teeth,

A pigs age may be known by its teeth,
as well as the age of other animals. Its
mode of dentition is as follows: 1t is
born with four front teeth; one month
afterward it gets four more, one in each
side of the first pair in each jaw. At
8 months it has four more, which is all
the front temporary teeth it has. At 9
months the four outside teeth drop out,
and are replaced by permanent incisors,
and the others are replaced during the
next year. AT 8 years the boar's tusks
appear; at they begin to lift the lips; at
8 they are seen outside the lips; at they
project from the mouth, and after that
they grow longer. After years the
sow's front teeth havea black ring around
the base of them, and as the age increases
the color of the teeth deepens and they
become worn. AS pigs, however, are
rarely kept over two years, this test
gauge is not often required. Of recent
years, since pigs have been bred SO as to
mature more rapidly, the teeth may in
dictate, as with sheep and cattle, more
age than the animals really have. A we'll
bred pig may have all its permanent
front teeth at IS months, and this more
rapid dentition has sometimes led to dis
putes as to the pigs age.-Mark Lane
