ELECTRO HoRTlouLTURE.

Beginning with the opening of the
year 1890, series of experiments were
inaugurated at the Cornell On. W sta.
ton upon some of the relations OF elec
trio lighting to plants grown in glass
houses, of which some account was given
in this department. These experiments
were all made with an arc lamp, which
hung inside the house, affecting some
plants iniuriously aud a few bene6cially.
The second report upon electro horti-
culture, recently issued, is devoted to
considering the effects upon a few CON-
mon plants Of al electric street lamp sus.
pended above green house. In these
experiments it was found that the inhu.
ence of the electric light upon green.
house plants is greatly modified by the
interposition of glass roof. Plants
which are much injured by naked light
may be benefited by protected light.
As rule plants are earlier under the
electric light than when grown in ordi.
nary conditions. Lettuce is greatly bene.
flied by the electric light. An average
of five hours of light per night FASTENED
maturity from week tic ten days at the
distance of ten and twelve feet. Radishe:
were also benefited by the light, but mol
to great extent. When the light was
hung in the house the radishes were in
jured. Beets and spinach appeared tc
be slightly benefited by the liglt. Vio-
lets and daisies bloomed earlier in the
light house. Plants which are benefited
simply grow more rapidly during the
customary periods. Upon the whole Pro.
fessor L. Il. Bailey is convinced that the
electric light Can be used to advantage
in the forcing of some plants.-New
York Sun.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Keep a close account of the cost Of
crops.
Treat the cows well and they will stand
by you.
Michel's early strawberry leads among
the early sorts.
Sour swill is hindrauce rather than
a help to growth.
The Parker Earle strawberry is noted
as heavy bearer.
The longer the cream is stirred the
longer it takes to ripen.
1t is mistake to leave the cream be.
come solid before ohurning.
The makers of dishonest goods are the
greatest enemies Of the dairy.
Use the fine scrapings of the barnYard
as a top dressing for the meadow.
Save the best to plant. Breed up
corn, wheat, ETC., as we'll as stock.
A hen that will refuse to eat bone
meal will Often eat broken bones with
relish.
A SOW will generally give birth to her
pigs in nearly liz days from the time of
service.
To deepen hard.pau soil, use sub
soil plow, leaving it lying below the mel
low surface soil.
One way in which milk is tainted is
because the person who does the milking
fails to wash HIS hands
The STABILITY of butter depends greatly
upon the manner 10 which it is put up
by the person who makes it.
For ferns of ornamental character the
Osmundas are invaluable. The RECALLS
is the well-known king fern.
When milk Is fed to the poultry care
should be taken never to allow it to
stand until it becomes rancid.
If you are feeding skim milk to shoats
for fattening purposes, make slop by
adding cornmeal and middlings.
A safe rule with poultry is to expand
as your prosperity seems to warrant,
rather than to risk too much at once.
On the farm it is an easy matter to
grade up the fowls so that for practical
purposes they are as good as full bloods.
Do not wait until your hogs are big
enough "to feed off," Begin with them
when they are young, and the results
will be far better.
Early Matched pullets make winter
layers aud late Matched pullets make
summer layers. There is more in the
Matching than in the breed.
What the cows eat aud drink may be
of great importance, but the sanitary
conditions under which we keep our COWS
are almost as equally important.
Because feeding meat when the poul-
try is confined is good, many make the
mistake of feeding too much. Two OF
three times a week is often enough.
1t probably will not hurt to reiterato
that the making of fine, wholesome milk
cannot be carried on with stable full of
the escaping ammonia from the manure
pile or dItca.

CROSSING BEES.

An article written by J. Edward Giles
on the subject of producing a larger race
of bees proposes that we cross our pres
ent race with the giant bees of India,
and in this way procure race of larger
size. If in turn this new race should be
crossed with the South American sting
less bees the result would be a singles
race.
Mr.. Giles thinks the improvement in
bees would be worth an experiment by
the Agricultural Department, and tie
expense would be slight compared to the
benefits which might accrue. There
might be, it is true, individuals who are
both willing and competent to do the
work, but without means to carry it out,
for study of the habits of the stingless
race would be necessary, and this would
require a residence in South America OF
perhaps year or two.
Since the chief objection to bees is
their sting, the bee industry would un-
doubtedly be many times increased if that
objection were removed aud we could
have stipgless bees. American Farmer.

FEED THE STRAW.

ln-sn industries, the use OF the bye,
products is great source Of profit. The
straw in grain growing has much fool
value. To cure straw in the proper
manner the grain is housed in good con-
dition, or is so stacked that the weather
will affect it but little. When threshed,
it is put up ia neat stacks which will
shed rain, or, If possible, placed under
shelter. If in stacks, when the feeding
season arrives it is so cut down with the
hay knife that only portion of it may
be uncovered at a time. This applies
more particularly to oat and barley
straw, the feeding value of which foI
farm stock is considered 10 be worth
half as much as timothy hay, pound for
pound.
If about. two quarts of fine salt per ton
of straw be applied to straw at threshing
time, it will make it more palatable than
if not so applied, or, in feeding, a weak
brine may be sprinkled over it, when the
stock will eat it with more relish.
The boards of barley straws are con-
sidered by many Objectionable especially
when the stock is allo we'd to feed from
the stack, or from racks in the open air
where the wind whisks the boards about,
often endangcring the eyes Of the
animals. Should beard lodge ia t be
eye, pinch of fine salt thrown under
the lid will cause copious discharge,
and the impeachment is usually thus
washed out, but if not a second applica-
tion will remove it. Most of the boards
can be separated from barley straw by
removing, at threshing time, twe-inch
cross section from the straw carrier al
lowing the boards to fall through. The
chaff is valuable constituent OF the oat
crop, and should be carefully preserved
for feeding purposcs.-American Agri-
eulturlst. -
