Black Walnut.

To raise black walnut trees, says an ex-
change, gather the nuts when fully ripe this
fall and plant them In rows, dropping nut
every six inches, covering two or three
inches deep. If the soil is light and very
rich, the seedlings will produce larger
number of fibrous roots than if planted on
heavy clay or loan. When the seedlings
are one year old dig up and cut away about
one-half the length of the tap root and
then replant in nursery rows, placing the
plants about two feet apart in the rows,
and the rows should be at least four feet
apart to admit of cultivating the trees with
pillow and cultivator. When the trees have
reached hight of from four to six feet dig
up and plant them where wanted around
your farm. But we would not advise any
one to plant black walnut trees in Alabama,
where he can just as well raise English wal
nuts and European chestnuts, which in q
few years would yield an annual crop Of
nuts worth more than mature black wal
nut trees.

Milking Hours.

Punctuality in milking hours, says the In
diana Farmer, is of the utmost import
ance and for the best resu is is quite as es-
sential as regularity in feeding. The time
for morning and evening milking should be
divided as equally as the season of the year
will permit and the hours selected be adj
hered to rlgidly. A strict observance of
this rule will result-all other things being
in accord-in a constant, even flow during
the entire milking term. and increased profit
will be the reward. Too little attention is
given to this feature on the dairy farm. The
cows are MIXED, especially in busy seasons.
at any time most convenient after other
work is attended to; this is invariably at
tended with loss and causes shrinkage in
milk that is not easily regained. Method
and system both in milking and feeding
must be carefully observed to secure the
highest measures of return from the COWS,
and upon the faithful performance of these
duties depends In high degree the success
or failure of the business

A Ration of Cotton seed Meal.

Henry Morse of Delaware county, New
York, who has become wealthy by dairying,
says that he has fed cotton seed meal to his
COWS for eight years, the first four in con-
nection with other grains and after that
pure, except while the COWS were dry and
on coarse fodder they were given wheat
bran and such grain as was produced on
the farm. As soon as the cows came in full
milk they were given hay twice day and
three quarts of cotton seed meal in the
morning and two quarts at night The
morning ration of meal was mixed with six
quarts of sweet. skinned milk. When at
pasture they received two quarts of the
meal a day. Following this practice he was
able to keep 25 per cent more COWS and
make 20 per cent. more butter per cow than
by any other grain method. The manure
from the COWS fed SO heavily on cotton seed
meal was very rich and gave about double
the crops of hay that other manures gave
The pastures also show it, and the increased
value OF the manure nearly pays for the
cotton seed meal
