FACTS FOR FARMERS.

IT may be an open question whether
it will pay all farmers to feed cooked
food to their hogs, but there is
no doubt that cooked food will make
more flesh than uncooked, because a
larger proportion will be digested and
assimilated.
APPLES grown in grass ground will
keep longer than the same fruit grown
on cultivated land. Late keeping va
rieties, therefore, should always be
glown in grass lands, So said Mr..
Hadwen, at a recent meeting of the
Massachusetts, horticultural society.
IT is necessary to balance the ration
Of tie soil as well as for the animals.
Feeding the soil with something it does
not require is equivalent to giving an
animal food which it will not eat. The
best fertilizers are those which supply
the soil with that which it requires.
A CORRESPONDENT of the journal of
Agriculture selected two hogs of the
same size, weight, age and thrift. To
one he gave an ounce of salt daily; to
the other none. The one sailed had a
much keener appetite than the other,
and In three months weighed fifty
pounds the most.
WIEN the horses head is held up by
the Qvercheck rein it endeavors to find
relief by throwing its head up, in order
to relieve the pressure on the mouth,
and to relax the muscles of the neck.
The horse is in constant torture until
the rein is loosened and at times the
pain causes loss of appetite.
In experiments made in feeding cows
at the Iowa experiment station it was
demonstrated that COW will eat sew
enty-fve pounds of green food daily, il
kept in the stable, and grain ration
added. and that cows, when fed on corn
peas and clover in the stable, viii
give more milk than when fed on 6
good blue grass pasture.

Numerous stringers across the top OF

Styles in Skirts.

Fashion has declared positively il
favor of the bell skirt, but those who
look over last seasons gowns with a
view to the alterations by which they
may be adapted to the present styles
will find it necessary to change the
skirts even. more than the bodices of
their old dresses. The fan-pleated skirts
of last season are very much fuller
and require much more material than
the tightly fitting gored skirt with the
slight train. SO after the necessary al
terations are made there is generally a
good deal of the material left over, quite
enough for new sleeves or any changes
in the waist" If a seamstress in the
house is to do over" these old gowns,
the best way is to get her a good pattern
of the skirt desired, and she will have
no difficulty in arranging the old mate
rial to suit the newer lines. Luckily
for oue's comfort, the old foundation
skirt, which added so much unnecessary
weight to a gown, has entirely disap-
peared, and all skirts are now lined.
Barring tie length, there never was a
skirt cut '1at is so absolutely light,
warm ant comfortable as that of the
present mode. by a simple arrange
ment on the three back seams OF hooks
and eyes, the extra length may easily
be disposed of while walking.-N. Y.

NUMBER 80.
PLEA FOR CLEANLINESS.
Neatness In the Stables Essential to Sue.
cess In Dairying.

1t is an unpleasant statement that you
can tell some dairymen by their smell,
and yet we have heard the remark
made.
We can find no excuse for any farmer
who keeps cows and who brings the
rank scent of stable tang into his kitch-
en- and dining-room. At such farmers
table we should expect to taste as well
smell the stable tang in the cream and
milk.
Among all thrifty dairymen we are
glad to say such symptoms are eXcep-
tional and not the rule. This subject is
disagreeable, but we touch on it be-
cause we have heard SO many COM
plants from various quarters. In
COW stable kept ordinarily clean, with
animals properly bedded and the floor
kept sprinllIed with some absorbent to
save the strength of the manure, there
will be nothing to transmit filthy
stencil to the clothing or to the boots
of those who milk and care for the
cows.
Thus, cleanliness in the stable will
give no.cause for uncleanliness or dis
agreeable odors carried to the house.
This subject of stable odor in milk is
not u light one that should be condonet
in some dairymen year after year; il
should be summarily dealt with by man
ufacturers and consumers. The idea o!
letting one of the most nutritious prod
ucts of the farm become saturated with
the essence of animal eXcrement, and
that without an excuse save slovenly
habit, is too preposterous to be toler
ated. 1t is not necessary that a man
go about the streets with clothe,
scented with barnyard smell
simply because he is q dairyman
in fact it is utterly unnecessary. The
best and most successful dairymen in
the land carry no such trade mark, not
even when they are dressed in overalls
and frock and are at work about the
stable. Even if your stable is not
equipped with new modern improve
ments, it is just as easy, and we think
easier, TO keep it clean than foul and
dirty. There must be good drainage,
and all stables need this to carry off
the urine. If you haven't anything bet
ter than sawdust or shavings for an alb.
sorbent use them freely, but they are
not good to retain the strength of the
manure. Plaster is good absorbent
for this latter purpose. Do not smear
dung about the walls of the stable to
stop up cracks as we have often seen
done. And finally keep the COWS well
bedded so that there will be no manure
on their understood. e, Newell, in

sheep Make Good Pastures.

Sheep make good pastures by keeping
down weeds. They will clean out a
weed patch if confined to it. They will
eat up all waste vegetables and grains.
Turned into a stubblefield as soon as
grain is out of 1t, every head of loose
grain will be picked up and tips of all
weeds will soon be eaten. The blowing
of the stubble will be easier and better
done, and the next crop will be better
for having been pastured by sheep.
Sheep should be on every farm, more
or less, and they should be bred pure;
no mixing up; no trying to create bet
ter breed; we have enough breeds.
Only try to improve the breed you have
and vou will do well.

ABOUT EXTREMES.
The Tendency to Exaggeration INDUCED
by Many People.

by Many People.
A great many people are fond of over
doing things. They carry practices and
ideas to extremes, and indulge in the
use of superlatives. Unqualified praise
is seldom called for, neither is unquali-
fed condemnation desirable, for the
great poet found there was good in
everything" The general use of ex-
tremes is apt to arouse suspicion as to
sincerity, and very justly so. Take, for
example, the use of mourning paper.
Some people adopt paper bordered by
a black band fully half an inch in
width. To say nothing about good taste,
which may not be considered under the
circumstances, the use of such paper is
entirely too conspicuous. 1t obtrudes
your grief upon everybody, and makes a
display of it. The matter is wholly
PERSONAL; it is not necessary to proclaim
it to the world.
In the wearing of rings and jewelry,
lavishness of display is often noticea-
bic. This also, is bad form, being a
pdTdtlC Vi lleTo pcISOlldl wealth. hlllSs
and jewels are all right if worn in mod
Grafton, but true refinement never in
dulges in excuses of dress or ornament
alton. 1t is this overriding of things
that leads to difficulties, even as too
much study may weaken your eyes or
destroy your health, thus preventing
for a time at least further requirement
of knowledge. In speech, also, superla-
tives are too often used, and they serve
to awaken distrust. Absolute perfec-
ton is indeed rare, and exaggeration
plays great part in modern life. We
think too much of our own Importance,
or talk too much of ourselves. We
dwell two much upon family or society,
and lend fictitious value to absolutely
empty things The use of superlative
words often tends to destroy the i'm
preston that we wish to convey, sim
ply because we overdo things. A light
curb, little thought regarding things
of this life, seems to accomplish the end
much better than going to any extreme,
however strongly you may feel.-Har-

Some of the Advantages of an OctagesNe
or Cylindrical Structure.
In recent printed discussion on
cheap construction of the silo, see the
Wisconsin experiment station has made
one as follows: The frame is merely n
circle of by 4 studs 10 inches apart on
a suitable foundation, and lined with a
double covering of G-inch boards with
paper between. The boards readily
spring to the studding, being put on
horizontally. They completely and
firmly "hoop" this great cylinder their
ends running by one another, so that no
two end on the same stud. The silo
has proved a success, although contain
ing much heavier material than hay,
and one more likely to exert lateral
pressure.
The question arises, why cannot stor-
age barns for fodder be erected on the
same principle, leaving off the expense
of double lining with tar paper be-
tween, and depending on the covering
entirely for both ''hooping" and protec-
ton? In the case of the Wisconsin silo,
half-inch lumber was used. Let inch
boards be put on around The structure,

Avoiding Potato Scab,

After series of experiments Prof.
FOLEY of the North Dakota station
comes to the conclusion that he can
avoid the production of scabby potatoes
if he cannot entirely eradicate the dis
ease. He finds no substantial evidence
that any soil of whatsoever kind can in
itself give origin to the disease. But
the disease-germ can and does remain
in the ground from crop to crop for al
least four years. Scabby or disease
bearing seed tubers can and will under
ordinary circumstances produce diS-
eased crop. But soaking the seed
tubers before planting in chemical solr-
tions enabled him to raise an undiseasea
product from the scabbiest of seed
where the ground was known to be
free from the disease. Seed tubers free
from the disease germs will in any soil,
clay, sand or muck, raise an undis-
eased produce, provided only that the
soils themselves are free of the dis
ease.-American Farmer.

well in large floeks. That such mode
