FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Give ducks as much liberty as pos
sible.
The fall is good time to apply manure
to asparagus beds.
New oats are too laxative for horses
which do hard work.
With nearly all kinds of fowls the
final fattening is on corn.
The fall is the time to sell of all birds
that have passed their prime.
Peach buds can be protected by bend

nette seed in light, rich soil and keep in
warm place.
No class of business presents reason
able chance for success unless due at.
tention is paid to the details.
When prices are low, loss can often be
made to give place to profit by an in
creased rate of production per acre.
The average farm horse would feel
proud if he received but small part of
the care which is bestowed on a race
horse.
A eve that raises two lambs and fur
nishes in addition good fleece of wool
will pay 200 per cent. on the money in
vested.
When sheep are to be tattened for
market they should be separated from
the stock sheep so that they can be fed
by themselves.
If the yards and pens are not naturally
drained, let them be drained arti6cally.
Stagnant water is often the beginning of
serious and fatal diseases among poul-
try.
Do not wait until winter before clean
ing out the hen house. You may have
been neglecting that "chore" during the
"busy season" of harvesting. Neglect
it no longer.
In shipping poultry do not crowd the
coops too full. Besides the suffering
caused the fowls, the death OF two or
three will take off the expected profits
and cause disappointment.

the best herd OF dairy cows he ever had
were the ones which he had bred and
raised himself. There Is enough in this
short statement to cause some dairyman
to ponder.
Now that the moulting season is here,
see that the fowls have some fresh meat
in addition to their grain ration if they
are yarded, or if their rauge is not ex-
tended enough to give them good sup
ply of insects.
IT you have plenty of apples give some
of them to the cows. There are plenty
of rotten and gnarled fruit which can be
thus proftably disposed Of. The result
will be shown in the increased quantity
of milk and butter.
Zinc or galvanized iron should never
under any circumstances be used for
storing honey. Stone jars, tin tanks, or
wooden barrels may be used, but some
wood will faint the honey. Care should
be taken not to have this kind.
The Guadalupe bees are interesting.
They store their honey, not in combs,
but in bladders OF wax about the size of
pigeons egg. The honey is Of an oily
consistency and does not harden, while
the bees are black and OF small size.
How to control swarms is the great
unsolved problem in beekceping. Auto
matte swarmers give some hope, though
they fall far short of perfection. As yet
no ono can tell whether they will de-
yelop into complete success OF prove
en- utter failure.

TO KEEP BOYS ON THE FARM.

When farmer who owns 200 acres
of land is continually grumbling that
he cannot make anything at the business,
although his three or four boys work
for their board and clothing, has he a
right to grumble because the boys want
to leave the farma Possibly if he were
to divide his land and his ready money
with the boys, and then each one tried
to do his best upon his share of the
farm, all would get better results than
they do now, and all would stay upon
the farm, unless they had decided tastes
and talents for some other pursuit

GOOD AND BAD BUTTER.

The average creamery butter is called
better than the average farm dairy but
ter, and the same is true of cheese, but
there are some private dairies that make
better goods and get better prices than
the factories can. Such ones should
hesitate before pooling their products
along with the shiftless, careless ones
who never could make good butter,
mainly because they had not learned how
to make good milk to begin with. Pos
sibly saving of labor in the household
may pay for little loss in price, but
the separator seems likely to make much
reduction, of the labor of butter making,
and it is said they can be used profitably
where there are dozen cows.-Ameri-
can Dairyman.

1NsEcTs IN GREENHOUSES.

} Florists are now having busy season,
preparing plants and greenhouses for the
winter supply of flowers, writes Margaret
Dale. Let me suggest to those who may
not be already aware of the fact that a
liberal supply of tobacco stems spread
thickly over the walks will prevent the
development of insects, the pest of anna
teur as well as professional florists. l
have been assured by florists of expert
ence that fresh supplies of stems are all
that they find necessary to keep their
greenhouses in perfect condition regard
ing insects. Throughout the winter the
stems must be renewed every few weeks,
and, though this may seem a troublesome
operation, am convinced that many
persons will consider it an improvement
on the old method of fumigating, by
which the florist effectually smoked him.

endeavoring to destroy the flies and
aphides that were luxuriating on his
choicest carnations and roses.
After being used in the greenhouses
the stems can be utilized as a mulch
about the June roses of the garden, where
they prove an effective remedy for the
slug.-New York Independent.

CARE OF DAIRY CALVES.

CARE OF DAIRY CALVES.
Professor Robertson, of Ontario, Can
ada, is regarded as good authority in
dairy matters. Speaking of the calf
that is reared for the dairy he says:
Breed and feed are to COW like two
wings to a bird-one alone is of little
use.
In selecting calf for dairy sire,
choose one from lauk, rough COW, and
never from smooth, fat, handsome
one. Study the calf's antecedents and
see that he is backed by good producers
on both sides. This course will enable
one to breed up the milk and butter
qualities.
The calf born between September /
and December is the best to raise. It
gets good start before winter, winters
well, and in the spring grows finely.
A COW should lick calf for at least
half an hour when it is first dropped;
this will set the heart to working prop
erly, start digestion and put the whole
system in proper operation.
A calf, either bull or heifer, should
show good escutcheon. In cow
other points may be seen from which to
Judge; the teats should be set wide
apart and stand out like four legs on
properly made stool.
The shape of calf may be largely
changed by feeding. If kept fat it will
develop rounded body, while if fed SO
as to keep healthy and growing it may
be nodded into the desired form for a
dairy animal.
1t should have its mothers milk the
first three or four days, as it is designed
by nature to set the calf's system IN
proper condition.
After it is week old it should have
sweet, SKINNED milk, and be fed dry
ground oats. Eating the ground oats
dry produces saliva to aid digestion, en-
sllrcs healthy system and stimulates
growth and good habits.
After it is from one to three months
old it may be fed to develop its digestive
organs. 1t should then have plenty of
very digestible food of kind that will
aid in forming bone and muscle and add
to its general growth, but not of kind
that will develop fat. Thus large
deep belly will be developed, desirable
feature for a dairy cow.-Farm, Field
and Stockman.

SPREADING ASHES IN WRITER.

! At the Rhode Island Station a portion
of an old sheep pasture was plowed and
seeded with mixture OF timothy and
red top in 1890. In the following
winter and spring it was fertilized with
Canada ashes for the purpose of making
q comparison between winter and spring
applications of ashes to newly seeded
meadows, and to determine whether any
less would result from washing while
the ground was frozen. The soil is
light sandy loan, and the ashes were
hauled directly from the car and spread
from the cart upon the field when the
ground was frozen and covered with
four inches of snow.
The field is very level, and two plots
Of one-fifth acre each were selected and
staked out side by side. Upon the west
plot on January 6 half a ton of ashes
was spread upon the snow as evenly as
possible, and corresponding half ton
Of ashes placed in barrels in a dry store
house for application to the east plot in
the spring. The spring application was
made April 10, the ground being free
from frost, but soft from the spring
rains, and to prevent cutting up the field
the ashes had to be applied by hand from
baskets.
The very dry weather of May and
June shortened the crop materially, but
the grass was cut June 10, and the
weight Of we'll hay upon tho two
plots determined as follows: West plot,
