Keeping Horses Warm.

"Some persons imagine" said an
officer of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals the other day,
"that the hardest part of our work is in
preventing drivers from beating their
beasts. Such is not the case. Most of
our time this winter has been occupied
in trying to get the drivers to blanket
their horses.
''In severe weather, when we have to
drive the vchders of canary birds and
dogs home, our men are stationed along
Sixth Avenue. They have a tough time,
| tell you. Whenever they approach
the hunkies in charge of the clipped
teams and elegant carriages, and request
them to put blankets on the animals, Il
row is bound to follow. At first they in
sist that it is none of the society's bust
ness how much exposed a horse is to
the biting wind and frost, but when
made right on that point they invariably
wind up by insisting that they have no
blankets with them to put on the
brutes.
'"Their Indignation knows no bounds
when the officers search the carriages
and generally bring two blankets to
light from under the feet of Mr.. Flunky
with his fur collar, cockade-spurs and
fine boots. Once the blankets are pro-
duced the orders are to arrest the
driver if he refuses to put them on the
animals. The flunkies generally obey
and spare themselves Il good deal of
trouble"

Corn Planting.


spring operations crowd much work
Mo q short period. One Of the busiest
times with the farmer is the planting Of
the corn crop, which is necessarily de-
layed until frost is over, but to save
time the blowing and preparation can
not be done too early. AS soon as the
frost leaves the ground there will be
quite number of crops to go in at once
corn, potatoes, field beets and vege-
tables of different kinds, as well as the
care Of fruits. The preparation of the
land for corn and potatoes early in the
season will permit of better work being
done, as there is too much hurry if the
preparation is delayed.
The seed should be selected early,
and also the variety. One mistake
made by farmers who are just beginning
is that of procuring some Well-adver
tised prolific variety without first test
ing it on the farm. Although corn
seems to thrive well in nearly all por-
tons of this country, yet it is doubtful
if there is any variety known that will
prove valuable in all sections. The Sc
lection of seed outside of this region in
which the crop is to be grown is one of
the uncertainties Always use avarety
that has been tried in your section. If
some new variety is desired test it in a
small way. When your crop natures
select your seed from the growing corn
in the field. Climate, soil, length of
season, and mode of cultivation affect
all varieties.
AS stated, pillow early, and pillow as
deep as you wish, but cultivate the crop
shallow. Opinions differ widely as to
the best method of cultivating corn,
and something depends on the land
upon which it is grown; but all admit
that the crop should be given clean Gull
tivation, and the top-soil kept loose.
There are those who advocate what they
call root-trimming, which means that
the young corn should be plowed be-
tween the rows so as to cut the roots,
but this is not Endorsed by others, who
claim that the corn crop thrives best if
only sufficient cultivation be given to
keep the top soil loose, SO as to
form a soil mulch, and thus protect
against drouth. All kinds of manure
will serve for corn, as the plant is a
gross feeder. Push it forward rapidly,
as the more growth before dry weather
the better. The main point to be i'm
pressed here is to begin preparations
early, before the busy season arrives.

FrOfit in Potatoes.

A big crop of potatoes will always pay
a profit, while a small or medium crop is
often grown at loss. The loss Will be
especially liable to occur with small
crops this year, owing to the high price
of seed. We would suggest that less area
be planted than usual, and an earnest eff
fort made to get as large a product from
half an acre as has formerly been OBJ
tanned from whole one. accomplish
this put the ground in thorough con-
dition, making the seed-bed very fine,
deep down where the seed is to go.
Choose good seed, fair, mediums
potatoes, and cut to two good eyes each.
Manure the land as heavily as you can
before blowing, and then put some rich
old manure right in the burrows with the
seed Manuring in the hill or drill is a
good deal of trouble, but it pays when
well done. The writer has seen it bring
300 bushels peracre upon land that ordi-
narily would not have produced more
than one-third that amount. Early po-
tatoes, too, will be especially valuable
this year, and a good supply of available
plant food placed right i'll reach of the
seed as it begins to start into growth is
the best thing possible to hasten them
forward.

Abandoned Farm Lands,

Abandoned farms and waste lands
within any reasonable distance of our
centers of population should not be
tolerated, and will soon be thing of
the past. But few of these lands are
SO rough or worthless that they cannot
be put to some profitable use, if a con-
scientious effort is made in that direc-
ton. The Labor Commissioners of Maine
reports about three thousand aban-
doned farms in that state alone. Many
of these could protitably be planted to
timber, or turned into orchards or util-
lied as sheep farms. An instance is
given Of a farmer in Winthrop who had
farm that was regarded of little value.
Noticing that russell apples did we'll in
that vicinity, he commenced to plant
them, and continued until the whole
farm was so occupied. Now it is the
most valuable place in town, the apple
crop sometimes bringing in $1,000 a
year. Something can be done with that
poor field, or that poor farm, if you will
give your mind to the problem, and in
Il few yeartsits products will be wanted
at good prices.

Fighting Nature.

This sort of warfare is Cor ought to be-
entirely monopOlized by amateurs and
greenhorns. The growth of all vegeta-
ton is governed by laws founded on
scientific principles by the great author
of all science. We may dodge the ques-
ton in some cases, but we produce a
monster invariably. TO grow a plant in
a greenhouse, garden or on the farm i'll
a superior manner, shows the grower to
be man of sense, close observer, an
honest observer Of the law and gospel
too. Such man always succeeds, be-
cause the people, God bless them, en-
courage all efforts which are successful.
There is no prouder moment to good
gardener than when he finds an APP
preciative customer who prefers his
work to the chief coiner of Uncle Sans
mint

One of the Wonders.

Germantown Telegraph: This is a
wonderful world because 1t is made up
of wonderful folks who do things IN a
wonderful way A man settles down on
piece of land; he wants to be a farmer
and grow his own grub-a very good
idea if carried out with the least particle
of common sense But he is a mere adj
venturer; he knows nothing; he won't
learn; he is sometimes even lazy and
thinks things will do themselves. So he
potters about, growls at the weather, at
the team, the tools, the seed, and the
dog Tor dogs, as he is sure to keep
them. His seed don't come up, it's
really on the down grade things al ways
90 faster down than up, you know and
when harvest time comes that is all
there is of it-there is nothing to
harvest. And then comes the great,
browning wonder: He says farming
don't pay. Really, though, he hasn't
tried it.

The methods that obtain in the con-
duct of experiments by Sir John b.
Lawes, at Rothamstead, and under the
auspices of the Royal Agricultural So
ciety at Woburn, England, might be
protitably followed in this country. The
experiments are not made on small
plats, nor for single year, but year
after year the same lands, in large
areas, are used for the same work until
the results acquire all the force and ac-
curacy of a mathematical demonstra-
ton. One result of the barley expert
ment has been to show an average pro-
duction on unmanured land, for seven
teen years, of l45 bushels per acre per
anum, while with complete fertilizers
the average production through the
same period has been 435 bushels per
acre.
