IN THE COUNTRY.
Where Man Is at Peace With Himself and
tho World.

tho World.
A man knows naught of life until he
has lived in the country, until he can
sleep blissfully during whole night
without being reused by fire engines,
nor wakened in the morning by the rat
tie of the millman's wagon; until he
sees his milk.can come softly up to him
in the shape OF clear-eyed, sleek
skinned beautiful Devon; no chalk set
things at the bottom of the milk, or un-
accountable things floating on the top
Honest milk, innocent of pump, foam
ing till it seems piled up above the
rivets of the pail-handle The air at
noon, untormcnted of jar and crash and
jostle; only hens cackle, and sleeps
bleat, and cows below, and the rattle
of clevises rs the plow wheels ut the
end of the furrow. No calling in of
people just because they suppose it is
expected; but the coming in of neigh
bors and friends because they really
want to see you, their appetites SO
whetted with the breath of ploughed
ground that they are satisfied if you
have nothing but ham for dinner.
Thank God for good. long. free breath

mood. 1t makes one feel at peace with
all the world. We would not hurt n

and give him a camp-stool on the piazza.
We would not blame him for not liking

would walk with him arm and arm,

if we could not preach good sermons, or
write good articles, we can, neyerthc

THE COST or MILK.
Essentials Necessary to Milking the Dalr
Farm Profitable.


Farm Profitable.
The question Is often asked; "What
can we afford to sell milk for?" In the
Ohio Farmer II. Talcott tells under
what conditions farmer must make
milk to be able to afford to sell At at
the going prices lie says:
First, he must have dairy COWS TO
milk, not steers, or cows but little
better for milk than steers. His cows
must average 5000 pounds of milk per
year at the very lowest estimate.
Second, in order TO produce milk
cheap the year round be must have
cheap, single ceiling wooden silos and
then plant the large variety of south
ern white corn, about the same time as
he would in each locality his common
field corn to produce its best, and then
let it grow to near full maturity, so the
grain II almost ripe, and then cut and
fill the silos with it, cutting the grain
itself in with the green, moist, juicy
stalks. You cannot do this work when
it is too wet Snow or rain ON it does
no harm You then have a good full
grain ration with each bushel basket
full of cut ensilage for feed. Give this
literally night and morning, with u
feed of clover hay at noon, and you
have then got perfection in reducing
cost of winter feed for dairy cows.
1t will not cost over IS per head to
winter dairy cows upon this kind of
feed, and the sum total of less than S15
per head will cover all the cost of pro-
ducing the 5000 pounds of milk or
more which he can sell for at least $40.
There is no guess work about this
am doing this very business on three
dairy farms, and do not exceed this
cost. l make more money, however
than this, because we set the milk al
home in deep setting tin cans, and senG
the cream only to the factory to be
made into butter, and feed our sweet
skim milk to the calves and pigs al
home, and every COW of mine earns me
fully S15 for skim milk, and they aver
age S35 worth of butter apiece.
Besides this the manure they make
each season at the barn is worth fully
S5 apiece and fairly pays for the care
of the cows.
The hauling of milk to factory
should always be done by the farmer
who lives the farthest away on eacl
street, and for five or six cents pc
hundred pounds of milk he could af
ford to haul all there is on the street K
the factory. 1t is IL big chore and ;
very foolish way for each farmer to de
liver his own milk.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

CORN can be fed as q night ration TO
a good advantage at least until the 1st
of April, when the weather is warmer.
Do NOT keep the bee-hives too warm.
The bees in a hive create warmth by
their bodies, and may be induced to
come out if the hive is too warm, thus
becoming liable to perish from cold.
In feeding make difference between
full-grown hens and the ones that are
still making bone aud muscle. The
full-growu ones will fatten on what
will barely keep the younger ones
growing.
THE wise dairymau will see to it that
mis- COWS live in moderately warm at
mosphere in the winter, for this
warmth is worth and will yield money
just as surely as the hay and grain that
are fed to his cows.
WHY let the pasture go to waste with
all kinds of bushes and young
growth?" Better keep half of it in
good shape and save fencing the re-
mainder. But it will pay still better
to keep the whole up.
No SINGLE breed of fowls will an

is to secure eggs without regard to the
sale OF fowls a non-sitting breed is
best. II broilers and fowls are the
object the market breeds should be
preferred.
The middle of the strawberry rows
should have drains, which may be laid
off with a plow. This viii greatly aid
in preventing the upheaval of the
plants by the frost. The drains can
be filled up with cultivator in the
spring.
NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that in
Maryland and Delaware the prices of
fruit We're forced down by the great
abundance, 1t is stated that the fruit
growers of both states made good
profits, amounting in the two states to
u couple million dollars.

Ignornnce IN the orchnrl.

Ignorance is ut the bottom OF most
fruit failures The sons of ignorant
fruit growers learn little from their
fathers-exccpt as they learn to hate
learning. Some day we may have
schools for fruit culture. Why not in.
deed? If fruit growing or farming are
to be professions, why should not boys
be trained for the work they are to en-.
gage in? They certainly fail to get
suitable learning now. The cutting
away of large limbs of fruit trees is
murdcrous work. There would be nc
occasion for it, in case the trees ara
| properly pruned whom small. Whcr
large limbs must be cut away the
stumps should be coated to protect the
exposed wood. One aim in pruning
should be to have the fruit grow on
large limbs, and not at the eXtremities
of small limbs, where the wind has full
sway to snap it off. Judicious pruning
will secure this result to a certain eX.

We know now that the mother tongue
is heritage and not q loan. 1t is ours
to use as we needs must. In America
there is no necessity to plead for the
right of the Amcricanism to exist. The
cause is won. No American writer
worth his salt would think of with
drawing a word or apologizing for a
phrase because it was not current

timid of American authoresses has no
doubt as to her use of railroad, con-
ductor, grade, and to switch, despite
her possible knowledge that in British
usage the equivalents of these words
are railway, guard, gradient, and to
shunt On the contrary, in fact, there
is visible now and again, especially on
the part of the most highly cultivated
writers. an obvious delight in graspinG
an indigenous word racy Of the soil.
There is many an American expression
of pungent freshness which authors,
weary OF an outworn vocabulary, seize
eagerly. 1t may be a new word, but it

of trees, etc. The eggs, shown en-
larged at a, are laid about July Z, and
are placed below the surface of the
soil near the base of the plants, singly
or in groups of from = to ~ or more.
The indications are that the insect is
double brooded, though. this is not pos
itively known. Soon after the eggs
are laid the larvae hatch out and bur-
row into and eat the cornstalk just
above the root. For this reason it is
called bud worm" in the south. Often
whole fields are destroyed, scarcely
hill being left. The first indication
of attack is the willing of the central
leaf, and soon the whole plant eXhib-
its withered appearance. The larvae
is shown enlarged at b. and Mt on the
stalk are punctures where the larva
bored into it. These larvae are yellow
ish white in color, with the head and
legs brown, slender, and they have "a few
scattering hairs on the body. Before
transforming, the rear part of the
body becomes enlarged. In the illus
tration this enlargement has begun.
At d is shown the pupa The pupa-
rum or pupa case is quite spiny. Two
parasites have been found to attack
this pest; but the only remedy which
appears to offer relief from its at
tacks is to plant the corn very early,
or else SO late that the larva will have
transformed before it starts. This
season will vary with the latitude.

POISONOUS PARSNIPS.
DO Not Use the Vegetable Until 1t Hal

DO Not Use the Vegetable Until 1t Has
Made Considerable Grow tn.
1t seems matter of surprise that so
wholesome vegetable as the parsnip
should sometimes be poisonous, says
Meehans' Monthly. Every spring we
have accounts in the daily papers of
parties meeting their death through
eating them. Late last spring an ac,
count came OF three young men of
Wilkesbarre, Pa, who ate them, sup
posing they were artichokes, one of
whom died short time afterwards. To
those not acquainted with the actual
facts, it is difficult to believe that the
parsnip really causes the troubles. 1t
has frequently been attributed to other
plants, of which the well-known hem
lock of Socrates is member. in order
TO test the matter accurately the writer
sent to the authorities of a town in
which some children were said to have
died from eating parsnips, to get some
of the roots for direct examination.
In one case the roots sent us had the
marks of the teeth of the children who
had eaten of other portions of
the root, showing conclusively that
that was the root of which the
children had eaten. Planting these
roots, including that of the one
that was partly eaten, and wait
ing for it's growth, it was found to
be the true parsnip Just why the
parsnip in its early stage should be
poisonous, and not SO at other times,
remains to be Investigated; but that il
is really the parsnip that has caused
this trouble is without shadow of q
doubt
We think there is little cause to fear
poisoning from eating the cultivated
parsnip; but it is well not to use them
until after they have made consider
able growth in the spring.
