Gypsum or Land Plaster.

Gypsum is mineral substance con-
sisting of sulphate of lime and about 81
per cent. Of water. 1t exists in large
quantities in Nova Scotia, also in New
York and other states. In many parts
of the United States it is extensively
used for agricultural purposes in its
ground condition, when it is called land
plaster. Its best effects are on the clovers
and liguminous plants, such as peas,
beans, etc. On red clover, upon soils
where it is not naturally luxuriant, the
effect of gypsum is often wonderfully
beneficial. Its action as a fertilizer
seems to consist more in its absorbing
and concentrating ammonia from the at
mcsphere than from any special fer
tilizing properties of its own. 1t is
highly recommended as an absorbent to
be used in stables and barnyards. Like
lime, it is very useful on certain soils,
but its usefulness cannot always be de-
termined without a trial. By using a
little on alternate strips of ground a
farmer can best decide this question for
himself so far as his own soils and crops
are concerned. One bushel judicioIsly
used would be enough for this purpose.
On some lands no good effects can be
seen from it's use

TO PREVENT ROTTEN HEAD.
Vines Should Be Pruned On Correct
Principles.

Vines Should Be Pruned On Correct
Principles.
Very careful and systematic pruning
of wine grapes in France during series
of eleven years has established some
supposed valuable facts. It had been
found that in old vineyards pruned in
the common way of the country,
were afflicted with rot. The
beads of vines, the upper portions,
and as each shoot of the vine is pruned
back to one or two buds each winter,
the head in time becomes swollen like
head, indeed. These heads rot inside,
and soon become hollow, seriously in
juring the vitality of the vine and its
fruits. A commission was formed to
determine, if possible, the cause and
cure of this rotten head.
The commission conducted series of
varied experiments in pruning, and it
seems to be determined that rotten head
was caused entirely by cutting away
such spurs as fruiting cones were not
wanted to grow from, smooth and clean,
close to the head. The remedy is to cut
such just behind the first bud, thus
leaving spur or budless node on the
head, one to three inches long, as the
case may be. This did not look pretty,
or neat, but it. saved the vines thus
pruned in every case from rotten head.
While those pruned in the style in gen.
eral use - cutting away smooth -
showed the usual average of rotten
head.
1t was found by careful examination
that where the eyeless stubb was left,
that in time the growth of the vine
pinched it off, leaving all the sound,
live wood, perfect. And where such
were cut smoothly off, the wound left
in many cases never completely healed.
But was induced and extended in, and
rotted the heart wood in the head.
Leaving the stub is natures way of
safe pruning. The young pine or
spruce, will pinch off and absorb the
dead twigs from its trunk, hundreds of
them, and not leave a speck of dead
matter within the trunk. It is ques-
tionable whether branch should ever
be severed close to the tree. It is best
to cut little outside of the collar leav-
ing quite knot or spur, and then pro-
trecting that in the best possible way
with wax Or paint, SO as to prevent de-
cay until healed over completely. And
it is still more questionable in pruning
fruit tree, if even branch should be
cut away, the cutting of which, makes
a wound large enough to need protec-
tion. Most certainly a tree rightly
pruned from the start. will never need
to have such wounds made.

FEED FOR AN IDLE HORSE.

| Quantity and Quality Best Adapted to
Keep Him in Health.
A horse has small stomach and active
| digestion. The food therefore should be
! of the highest nutritive quality, with as
little waste matter as may be. 1t should
be as easily digestible as possible. Whole
corn and cob is not such food, and on
/ general principles is not to be considered
either healthful or profitable. The feed
ing value of a food, as estimated by its
chemical constituents, is not a safe
guide, as the cob, while not without
some seeming nutritious quality, is hard
ly digestible, and in this respect has
about the same value as woody fiber in
the form of sawdust. In the experience
of horsemen, the cob has been suspected
Of dangerous qualities and as productive
CT indigestion. Certainly it is not in any
way food that can, under the special
exigencies of the season, be considered
either useful, safe or economical.
But corn is an excellent food for a
horse under certain circumstances. 1t

portion of carbohydrates which supply

served force of the animal as to cause a
loss of food. The corn, then, should be
coarsely ground, and if fed with cut hay
will be still more safe and profitable to
feed.
A horse of 1000 pounds needs, in ad-

is ample for horse of that weight, and

sufficient exercise to keep the blood STIR

A stable may be warm and yet well
supplied with fresh air. A sufficient
supply of oxygen is indispensable for the
proper change of the carbohydrates of
the food into heat. In close, warm,

A POTATO TALK.

A Report on Varieties Tested with Prac-
ticaI Hints onIthe Culture.
A Pennsylvania farmer writing to The
Rural New Yorker said: 81 planted a
considerable assortment of the leading
varieties of potatoes and have tested
them, side by side, in the same field.
This field was cultivated alike all over.
1t was manured but lightly and heavy
clover sod was turned down in the spring.
The Rural No, 9 did remarkably well;
Mammoth Pearl. Blue Victor and Beauty
of Hebron all yielded to my entire salts
faction. Mammoth Pearl and Blue Victor
rotted more than any other variety had
planted. found that some potatoes are
more liable than others to rot and to be
attacked by bugs. procured bushel of
new yellow heshed potatoes, which orig
mated along the Blue mountains, in this
state, and planted single eyes, almost
every one of which sprouted, and to my
astonishment the crop was almost entire
ly free from bugs. blight and rot. The
variety is very rank grower. The
stalks are stiff and stout, somewhat re-
sembling those of the Rural No. 2. The
color and flower are the same.
"a heavy clover sod turned down in
the fall Or sometimes in spring accord
ing to the wetness or dryness of the sea-
sony and constant cultivation during the
summer are some of the necessary helps
in potato cultivation. For seed pick
out large, round, smooth, scabless tu-
bers with shallow eyes. Scripture says,
Whatsoever a man soweth that also
shall he reap This holds good with
most kinds of grain. and still more with
potatoes, if we substitute harvest for
reap. cut the tubers to one, two and
sometimes three eyes. and get very few
small ones. The seed end throw away.
Bestow good care and good cultivation
On your potato patch. and the crop will
not go back on you"
ii. Girard, French experinenter, be-
iieves that with good cultivation and
suitable manures all soils can be fitted
for the cultivation of the potato, but he
nevertheless lays considerable stress on
the necessity of taking into account the
natural fertility. On the preparation of
the soil he sums up the question by say
ing that intensive cultivation of potatoes
cannot be followed except by deep culti-
vation. and he recommends the soil to
be worked to depth of fourteen inches
at least. One foot between the plants is
given us about the proper distance along
the rows. Early planting is important.
A correspondent of the New York
World thinks that the potato crop is
often unfavorably affected from too
close planting. and this is most likely to
be the the case on small plots, where
from desire to get all that is possible
from small space the plants are not
given enough room. The stems need
light rather than shade. and unless the
gun can shine in upon the ground be-
tween the rows the vines will be long,
green and sappy, when they should have
u more stocky and firm upright growth.
Where they are planted too closely to-
gether or in the shade there will be a
rank growing mass Of vines, with but
few tubers and those very small

House for Water Fowl.

It is good plan for all stock to have
some place they can make headquarters,
and it is better for the owner to make
the selection of that locality than to
leave it to the inclination of the animals.
Too many farmers neglect this in pro-
viding for stock, particularly for poul-
try, and more particularly for water
fowl
It is true that ducks and geese, like
sheep, are not especially in need of extra
warmth or shelter, as they are warmly
clad and resist the cold successfully, but
still some slight structure, enough to
give them the needed little protection,
is advisable, and best Of all it gives
them place of resort where they may
make it home.

precaution we wish to urge is that it be
carefully guarded from dampness and
mold. The ducks leave the water with
some water on the body, and although
very little, still after awhile, together
with the dampness rising from the pond
or stream, enough will accumulate to be
injurious. World.

Growth of tho Creamery system.

tits probable that fully one-half pound
moro butter is recovered from each hun
dred pounds of milk under the creamery
system than can be made by q private
dairy as usually managed. Allowing
that each cow produced 5000 pounds of
milk per year, which is about the aver
age, there would be an increase of
twenty-five pounds of butter for each
COW per annum to the credit of the fac
tory system. It is not difficult to be-
ieve that this increase is easily alb
sorbed by the market because Of the
improved quality of the butter. If
there is any drop in the price of butter
it will not do to ascribe it to the cream
cry system until we have taken into &C
count the enormous output of the but
terine factories.
A careful review of the subject will
reveal these two interesting phases:
First, the market demands for the most
part high grade product, is willing to
pay for it and can absorb an enormous
quantity without materially affecting
the prices. This enormous demand for
good butter has been met by the cream
cry in a very satisfactory way. In the
second place, it is surprising to see the
prices stand as well as they do when
such large amount of imitation butter
is brought on the market and placed be-
side the product of private dairies and
the enormous output of the creameries.
In thus speaking of private dairies The
Gazette does not have in mind the scat
tered few that turn out that exception
ally fine product that goes direct to con-
sumers. These centers of choice produc-
tion are legitimate and should be en-
couraged; they will probably never be
supplanted. The average farm butter is
the kind that suffers, and between the
creameries on the one hand and butter
inc on the other it is having hard time
of it.
The great lesson in all this is that the
average consumer desires good butter
and is willing to pay fair price for it.
With the better average product comes
a greater consumption, and consequent.

Trying Out Lard.

There need be no difficulty in trying
out lard in such way that it will keep
almost indefinitely. provided the two
most essential requisites are observed.
First, the rendering should be done with
a slow and uniform heat, not so slow as
to be unnecessarily tedious, but not SO
fast as to incur any risk from scorching.
Second, the heating should be continued
until the water contained in the fat has
been thoroughly evaporated. This will
be pretty well indicated by the scraps
becoming crisp and brown, when all such
may be taken out and pressed while hot
and the liquid lard again returned to the
kettle to be still further evaporated.
After being sufficiently cooked it should
be carefully strained into wooden or
stoneware vessels and be set away closely
covered to prevent dust from getting
into it. If an extra quality is desired
the leaf lard should be rendered by itself,
but ordinarily the fat pieces and the leaf
may be tried together. The fat from the
intestines should be tried by itself, and
if done in cleanly manner will make
very good lard for all general purposes.
The highest rate of yield Of corn fol

agriculture, was, in New England, from
