Transportation In Plants.

The knowledge Of Transportation ir

that there is very little Transportation af
ter the bud is half grown. Later on
when the flower opens, there is again al
increase in Transportation, and this in
crease is continuous until the death q
the flower. The flower early reaches thu
end Of its term of existence-about tn,
time of opening; from that time forwart
decay in all the tissues commences, anG

that time forward the term Transportation

PURsLANE LOVERS.

The purslane weed is of some use, II
it is nuisance of the farm. The hogs
are especially fond of it, and as it is
good for them there is no reason why the
weed should not be given to them. All
farmers are more or less acquainted with
the weed aud know full well how it
thrves. When they are killing the
weeds, and il it can be done without
danger to crops, let the hogs have the
run OF the field. Then watch and see
what perfect picnic the porkers will
have.
If it is not possible to give the pigs
the run of the fields gather all the weeds
possible and throw it to them. We
know of farmer who makes it prac.
tice to go every morning and pull good
amount Of the weeds for tho pigs. Hs
claims that in the morning is the best
time to give them this food, aud says
they enjoy it more. But we think the
time of day to give the pigs the weeds
is immaterial, and the best time is when
you think you have enough weeds col
lected for them.-American Farmer

EXPERIMENTS WITH OATS.

Experiments have been made at the
Illinois station on rate an1 depth OF
seeding, and tests Of varieties of oats.
All were made on the fertile dark colore
soil OF the station grounds. Welcome
oats were sown on seven plats, each one
bv sixteeu rods, At the rate Of from Que
to four bushels per acre. Tie yields OF
botn grain aud straw for each Of the four
years the experiment his teen in pro.
Sress and the averages Of the four years
are tahulated for each rate of see ling.
The largest yield OF grain in 1891 WAS
from sowing three and one.halt bushels
per acre with little variation between the
plats sown at the rate Of two, two and
one half, three, three and one-half and
four bushels per acre. The avera &c yields
for four years were much the same as tn,
above. One or one and half bushels
gave smaller average yields tnln any OF
the heavier seedlings. The wei sht OF
the grain per bushel was less in the case
o. the light seeding.
AS to depth Of covering tho indica-
tions were that the returns were slightly
better from covering two inches deep,
thouBh In trials Tor tour years the best
results have not come from covering the
same depth in any two years.
Tho average yield per acre in tests Of

SALT MAKES MORE MILK.

It is being reported as something new
that the giving Of salt to cows has the
effect Of increasing the yield Of milk.
There is nothing new in this except to
those persons who are beginners IN tne
business Of keeping cows, or who do not
read paper in which any information
on this subject is regularly given. 1t is
very simple matter. Milk is made only
rom the food that is digested. II the
Iood is not digested, not only is there a
loss of material OF which milk may bs
made, but the cow does not feel well.
Both these are conducive to decrease
of the milk. But when a COW is regu-
larly supplied with salt, not only is she
satisfied with this qualification Of her
tastes and inclinations, but the digestion
Of the food is perfect, aud the result is
that the milk yield IS up to the highest
point. The digestive fluid consists in
part of hydrochloric acid, of which salt
Is partly made up, and thus this indis.
pensable agent Of digestion is supplied
to the cows. Salt is thus as much food
as sugar, which goes so largely to main
tain the vital heat and support life, and
It should be given to all animals that do
not live wholly on animal food, and in
proportion to the amount of vegetable
food they consume. The staple supply
determined up on by experts is two
ounces for CO W, one ounce for horse,
dram for beep per day, and small
quantity ar in tervals of few days for
swine aud poul try. The quantity given
to COW is for the reason that she gives
milk which contains salt, and thus needs
more than horse, but a mare that is
nursing foal should have an increased
allowance, although this is rarely thought
of.-American Dairyman.

A GOOD MARKET CROSS.

Experiments made by crossing an
indian game male with Plymouth
Rock hens, the past season, resulted in
some very choice table birds, and which
sold readily in the market. The only
objection was the leggy appearance OF
the chicks when about half grown, but
their appearance did not indicate truly
their weight, as every one weighed at
least half a pound more than other,
chicks Of the same age, from different
crosses, while their quality was far above
that Of any other market cross made.
The game improves all other breeds for
the table, but the chicks seem to be
somewhat tender when young.-Man-

A Laborer's Suit for Damages to the
Amount of $4,000.
The case Of A. L. Larsen against the
West Coast Manufacturing and Improve
ment Company Of Ballard developed quite
an interesting fight yesterday and drew q
large number Of persons into Judge Os-
born's court. The plaintiff was engaged
at the company's sawmill at Ballard as a
Waterman, and on November 2. 1891, his
left hand was accidentally cut OIL. He
tried to prove yesterday that he had suf-
fered damage to the amount of $4,000,
that he was doing his duty, and that by
neglect of the company he received the in
jury. At the close of the plaintiffs testi-
mony the defendants counsel moved for a
nun-suit. but was. however, overruled.
The defendant then tried to show that the
injury was done by fellowworkman, and
that the company was therefore not liable,
and that, even if the company was guilty
of negligence, the plaintiff was guilty OF
contrihutory negligence. The case was
still on trial at the time of adjournment.
