Another Large Tree.

AGRICULTURAL EDITOR: Being very
much interested in the descriptions of
some of the large trees" of this state,
have taken pains to measure an elm
that has long been noted for its large
proportions. This elm is situated in
the western part of the town of Brook
field, in the wood-lot of Charles Will
liams, on the edge of small swamp.
At the base, this tree girths twenty-five
feet, and to the height of thirty feet
there are no branches ; and the trunk
is apparently nearly as large. AT about
this place the main top is broken off
and from beside the scar is what was
once probably sprout, but is now
grown to the size of an ordinary tree,
and can be seen for nearly its whole
height towering above the tops of the
trees around, and as it is situated near
the top of hill can be seen for miles

THE storing and keeping of winter
squashes has proved a difficult task
with many. The best place we have
ever found to keep a few Hubbards is
under the bed in warm room. In
this way, if they are ripe, unbruised
and sound, with the stems on, you can
keep them until it is time to plant the
seed. But they must be quite ripe
when stored, and free from bruise or
scratch. Harvest in a wheelbarrow
lined with heavy horse blanket. You
can hardly keep squash too dry, and
if you scratch or bruise one don't try
to keep it. AS well try to keep a
cracked egg. Those who make bust
ness of squash-growing near large
towns build warm houses, with shelly
ing, and keep them uniform in temper
ature by stoves at both ends. The
temperature should not go below 500.
1t is important to keep the air both
warm and dry, and the cellar is the very
worst place you can find to keep
squashes.

Why Canadians Emigrate.

Mr.. Tetereault, member of the pro-
vincial parliament, one of the members
of the commission appointed before the
close of the last session at Quebec to
inquire into the causes of the emigra-
ton of farmers to the United States,
has made known the conclusions at
which he has arrived. Ranged under
seven heads, they are as follows: The
poverty of French Canadians, large
families, difficulty of establishing homes
defective cultivation of land, taste for
luxury, seizure of household effects
and wages for debt, and the plague of
peddlers.

THE editor of the American Wool
Reporter is starting out as a practical
wool producer, in pursuance of long
entertained desire TO attempt the re-
claiming of some of the " abandoned
farms of New England. He has
united six agricultural homesteads upon
slightly Maine hilltop, forming con-
venient range of 400 acres, with one
good house and dilapidated barn. He
adds: "I shall begin with 100 Maine
ewes, purchased this fall, and l am
already trying to pick them up at SO
per head. l want sound and strong
bodied sheep, with good heads, good
teeth, clear eyes, with none of the yell
lowish symptoms betokening grub in
the head, with good growth of wool
on the belly, and producing heeces
which will classify three-eighths blood
in the Boston market. With these we
think of buying two or more thorough
bred Hampshire bucks, and use no
others for breeding purposes. No salts
factory results appear to have been
achieved with Merinos in this section.
But be this as it may, our intention is
to produce lambs, mutton and wool
and for these purposes l know of moth
ing better than the Hampshires.

A FLORIST is quoted by the Eraminer
as having stated that the law governing
the coloring of flowers makes blue
rose impossible. According to this law,
the three colors, red, blue and yellow,
never all appear in the same species of
flowers; any two may exist, but never
third. Thus we have the red and
yellow roses, but no blue; red and blue
verbenas, but no yellow; yellow and
blue in the various members of the
viola family Gas pansies, for instance),
but no red; red and yellow gladioluses,
but no blue; and so on.

A WONDER WoRKER.-Mr. Frank
Huffman, young man of Burlington,
Ohio, states that he had been under

and incurable. He was persuaded to
try DR.. Kings New Discovery for con-
sumption, coughs and colds, and at that
time was not able to walk across the
street without resting. He found, be-
fore he had used half of dollar bottle,
that he was much better; he continued
to use it and is to-day enjoying good

THE use of oil cake and oil cake
meal for live stock feeding purposes
has grown very rapidly in the last few
years. AS indicating the rate at which
its use is increasing beyond the Allan

we exported oil cake and oil cake meal
to the value of SS,993, 0l5, against
$6,972, l26 in the same part of the pre-

Do you ever notice such insignificant
things as toads and tadpoles2 Are toads
like frogs in producing their young in
the form of tadpoles-polliwogs? The
polliwog has gills, like fish, and can
live entirely under water. Later, he
drops his tail, lungs are developed, and
he can ego it alone on shore. Dur
ing the past wet season we could not
help noticing the myriads of young
toads, about as big as hooks and eyes,
along the banks of the Clyde river,
which runs through our farm. They
were everywhere, thicker than mos
quitoes, and all of the same size-about
that of young polliwogs. All the books
say that the young of the toad is a
poliwog-much the same as that of the
frog; but Meeban'S Monthly, edited by
men with eyes open, says that, while
the young of the frog is always polli-
wog, the young of the toad is adapted
to circumstances-or, as the excellent
Monthly puts it, 1" the toad is ovipari-
Gus ii. e., lays eggs) certainly when
near water, but is so gifted by nature
with adaptation to circumstances as to
bring forth the young alive-hatching
the egg in the oviduct (egg passage)
when it cannot get near water. Scien-
tific treatises admit only the aquatic
origin of young toads, but there is no
getting over the fact that young toads
abound so small that they could never
have been tadpoles; and are found in
places where there is no water for tad
poles to swim i'm

THIS is pretty strong talk, but Mr..
Keep seems to be fully in earnest in
what he says. We do not think any
kind of roots can be made to pay along
side of corn fodder or silage. We like
these because the COWS like them, and
do we'll on them, but probably not any
better than on the best early-cut hay
and grain. We must remember that
our corn is only mammoth grass, and
corn fodder therefore only sort of
hay But there are great differences in
the feeding value of grasses. Aroos-
took is the finest hay section in the
Eastern states. The hay is the choic-
est quality, and the crops of it immense,
1t is no wonder, therefore, that other
kinds of feed are undervalued. The
seasons are too short there for the full
maturity of even early varieties of corn,
and consequently silage is also at dis
count.

Mr.. KEEP, our venerable Aroos-
took correspondent, writes to con-
tribute some facts obtained in the Gull
tivation of roots for stock. He says
these facts involve mysteries hard to
understand. For many years it was
his hobby to think that he could keep
stock on small acreage of land by
raising carrots and stall feeding, sum-
mer and winter; but all the facts at
hand have demolished these theories.
A full trial in his part of Maine has
proved that sugar beets cannot be
raised for any length of time on large
scale for any less than one dollar a
bushel, and rutabagas not for that.
Our good friend Aitken of Woodstoc k
would hold up both hands, and perhaps
both feet, in horror at this idea. He
claims to grow them, we believe, for
less than twenty-five cents) Mr.. Keep
goes on to say that let any farmer with
thirty or forty acres under cultivation
put all his manure for a year on one
acre Of roots, and get perhaps six or
eight hundred bushels; the next year,
for crop of grain, he must have more
manure or a small crop. Now, what is
to become of this acre while waiting
for its next term of manuring?

Brown the grass on hill and void.

In the meadows larks sing sweet,

WE will note a few weather signs in
which we put some dependence, as to
the planning of work. In the summer
we all know that in very hot weather
there is danger of thunder-storms,
which cool the air and give place to more
normal meteoric conditions. Then if
the prevalent winds are southerly and
easterly-that is, from the ocean
with hazy sky, there is likelihood of
continued rain. This has been the
state of things generally this summer,
and our rivers have been bank full in
consequence. But when the wind shifts
into the northwest, with a clear sky,
we may be reasonably sure of several
days of fair weather. Going on these
rules we have secured all our crops, 80
far, in good condition.

success. Therefore it is the part of
wisdom that these truths should be
studied by all, and their practical APP
plication made as plain as possible. The
popular schools need to be and must be
made the means of instructing the ris-
ing generation in practical science

everyday matters.

Now we saw our little toads, literally
millions of them. where there was
plenty of water for them to swim in;
yet they were so very small that we
cannot help thinking that they were
born with legs. Does Meehan'S Monthly
know that they may not be so?
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-09-07

MIR. KEEP adds that he will propose
another experiment, which any one
may try. Raise one acre of beets with
high culture, feed out every root and
leaf to any kind of stock, and see if the
manure will put back on the land one
tenth of what the beets took from the
land. But, he says, in France and
Germany they have raised sugar beets
for 100 years along with successful
farming, and now undersell West In
dia sugar in our markets. Also in Eng
land and Scotland they have for CEN
turtles raised turnips for sheep with
great success, while in Maine " it
would not take more than a small crop
of turnips to kill every sheep we have,
faster than the dogs do it in Vermont. +"
1t is something so-he continues-in
cold ATTITUDES like Aroostook, in the
use of silage. Carrots or potatoes as a
medicine are nice thing for cows or
horses, but their true value as feed is
not equal to the cost of feeding them
out. Clear straw that is well got is
better without turnips than with them.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-09-07

OUR expressed preference for corn
fodder over roots for feeding cows
seems to have been quite generally
misinterpreted as prejudice against
roots. This is a great mistake. For
more than twenty years we grew con-
siderable quantities of roots to be
planted out for seed-growing. OF
course, as only the best were so planted,
we had a good many left for feeding
and kept two or three cows on them,
as we did not have hay for all our stock.
In this way we learned great deal
about feeding roots. We have fed cows
on roots exclusively, and with hay,
grass and grain, also with corn-fodder,
as we grew both sweet and yellow corn
for seed but we never have fed fodder
corn-that is, corn grown solely for
feeding-until we had given up the
seed business and begun to build up
herd of butter cows. Along with this
fodder corn we have grown roots, and
carrots particularly, as an ideal food for
Jersey cows. Beets we have also
grown, and we do not think any less of
roots than formerly. What ails us now
is that we think great deal more of
corn-corn grown so as to have plenty
of ears, dried as well as possible in the
field, stored on the big barn floor, cut
into three to four inch lengths, and fed
to the cows. This is the system which
Professor Cooke has lately tested, along
with silage, with as good results, but,
as he says, more cost for labor.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-09-07

ONE objection to roots is that they
are more trouble than corn fodder
just as Professor Cooke thinks fodder
more trouble than silage. When we
get fixed right we shall have the silo,
and can test for ourself; but so sue
cessful have we been with the fodder
that if it were not for rats and mice we
should not be in hurry to try silage.

IT would be strange if me readers
should not think US to be wasting
space that could be used to more profit,
in writing about how young toads come
into the world. If so, that is where
they make a mistake. The greatest of
all needs in the education of the young
people of the farm is to stimulate a
careful observation of the operations of
nature. We have to make our living,
and whatever profit may accrue in our
business of farming, through our knowl-
edge of the ways of uature-the growth
Of plants and animals, the nature and
management of soils, the weather, the
seasons, diseases of plants and ami
mals-all of these and many other
things never touched upon, at least in
their practical bearings, in the schools
where farmers and farmers wives get
their early instruction, and from their
habits of thought. This is the greatest
of follies. American farming will al
ways suffer from inevitable incompe-
tence to meet its varied aud perplexing
problems until from the very beginning
our schools are organized to teach their
pupils how to study natures methods

NOTHING illustrates this subject more
forcibly than the prevalent superstitions
and antiquated notions about the
weather, and this notwithstanding the
fact that even scientific men have not
yet advanced far in the science of
meteorology. But if we have as yet
little to guide us in weather foresight,
we can at least put aside the old super
stitions which are held so tenaciously
by many. "It is better not to know 80
much, than to know so much that amt
So" and this is perhaps truer of the old
" weather signs" than of any other
popular belief. One of the most futile
of all these is that certain days in one
month "govern the weather of the
next month, Why do not those who
hold to this idea make notes, and see
how they come out? Are they as idle
as their beliefs? Or are they so super
stitious as to think it wrong to study
into the ways of nature? Instead of
bringing bad luck" we think such
study more likely to bring good fortune
to the observing farmer.
