LOSSES OF EARLY LAMBS,

The most telling commentary on the
prevalent carelessness and poor manage.
ment among old-fsshioned farmers was
their acceptance of the loss of a consid-
cradle number of early lambs as a matter
of course. Those who were more care
full timed the breeding go that the lambs
were dropped late when there was COM
monty mild weather and a good bite of
grass. In these days thousands of lambs
are born in midwinter, and such care is
taken of them that losses are very rare.
A basement stable warm enough by the
warmth from a flock of sheep so that
water will rot freeze in it, is needed.
Then there must be green or sueculent
food, roots and some bran Or grain, to,
encourage q flow of milk when the lamb
is dropped. The legs are carefully cut
SO that it is easy to get to the teats, and
if the weather is cold a watch is kept sol
that the lamb does not chill before it
can get to the teat and suck. After it
gets hold of the teat the lamb will
usually care for itself. Of course, lambs
thus cared for cost money, bat they
bring money, too, and enough to repay
the cost. This kind of lamb-growing is
very different, and also more pleasant
than the old way of keeping sheep, feed
ing mostly on straw with a little hay,
and letting the earlier lambs, which are
always most valuable, die for lack of the
necessary attention. -Boston C%ultivator.

Took a Wife From a Bevy of Pa'dpers.

James Dunlop, a well-to,do farmer,
living neal Bonneville, Mo-, recently
went to the County Poor Farm and
selected a wife from among the paupers
there being cared for. He said that he
had no time to be going counting among
women and thought he could get just as
good a wife from the Poor Farm as any
where else. An account says: "Dun-
lop, after looking over the assembled
women, selected Mrs. Johnson, who has
been a resident there for several years.
He told Mrs. johnson that he was look
ing for a good woman to become his
wife and take care of his house for him,
aud if she was willing be would marry
her at once and they could go right
home. Mrs. Johnson accepted him on
the spot, and the couple came to town,
where the ceremony was performed by
the Probate Judge. Dunlop has since
been in town and says that he is per.
fectly satisfied, and thinks he has found
a good wife, even though from the
County Farm. Mrs. Johnson was the
wife of a prosperous farmer who lost all
his possessions several years ago and
died, leaving her penniless. She was
partly crippled and could not support
herself, and consequently was com
PEELED to become a burden to the county
although she was a most estlmabl
woman. New Orleans Times Demo

The Suns Day.

Professor Duner, the Swedish astron-
omer, has just made known an important
work which has led to surprising results
concerning the rapidity of the suns revo-
luton. By observing the displacement
of the lines of the solar spectrum in the
observatory in Potsdam Professor Duner
has obtained a hitherto unknown exacti-
tude in the measurement of the move
ments of the sun, and found that that
body moves round its axis at a rate of a
mile and two hundred and forty-two feet
in a second of time. The suns day lasts,
therefore, at its equator twenty-five days
and twelve hours of our reckoning. But
what is remarkable in Duners measure
ments is that they result in a different
length of revolution IN different parts of
the body of the sun, regularly increasing
in length from the equatof to the poles,
so that those parts of the suns surface
living near the two poles have a day as
long as ~forty-six OF our days. This is
only possible with a movable and case
u surface like that of the sun. -London

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES

Broad tires are a disadvantage on a
rough road.
Keep your watering troughs scrupu-
lousy clean.
Vary the feed; feed greens during the
winter, birds lay better for it.
Hatch early in season; the early bird
brings the highest broiler prices.
Dig the yards over frequently; this
will prevent much poultry disease.
Be sure that coops are moved fire.
quently, foul ground is worse for chick
ems than old birds.
Renew drinking water for the fowls
every day; twice a day would be better
if time can be found.
Buy fowls when starting suitable to
wants. Never buy egg machines when
table poultry are wanted.
Economy is the proper term for good
farming. Save the Titles all around.
Chips will make as good fire while they
last as big cord wood.
The big fruit crop of 1891 may not be
repeated in 1892. Let Is take care Of
the orchards aud vineyards this year; be
prepared to fight insects and blights.
Not more than three or four per cent.
Of business men succeeded without at
some time becoming bankrupt. Where
do you find a farmer who fails in bust
ness? They rarely do.
With fair to good lighthouses selling
in Chicago at $135 to 5000, and in good
teams at 1925 to $S237 each, it appears
that there is still money to be made in
raising good horses.
There are four ways of handling man
ure-piing it against the barn to rot and
leach, scattering it over the barn-yard to
wash, drawing it into the field at once,
and composing it as gardeners do.
The New York Tribune says: sect
rid of the fencesln Fhesa words should
be placed at the head of every page of
the agricultural papers until public
opinion IS completely stirred to action.
One year ago with twenty-five fowls
a farmer had five eggs 9 day. Now,
with twenty fowls, he has from twelve
to fourteen. The five missing birds were
ROSTERS. which accounts for the whole
story.
Tubers of the single dahlia may be
started this month if it is desired TO

tings. It may, however, be done later.
Seeds of the single dahlia sown in the

A whole chapter would not suffice to
tell how much farmers, and other people,
too, lose by putting off necessary work
until they shave to" do it, It is thu

AGRICULTURAL STATIONS.

The good work which is being done
in the various agricultural experiment
stations Of this country is amply demon
strated by the experiments OF the past
year. From the periodical pamphlets
compiled By the able scientists in charge
Of these stations we can judge of the
merits of the work, and it gives us
pleasure to bear testimony to the useful
ness and excellent results attained by re-
cent experiments. Theories are good,
but stubborn facts are what we need
most, and it is because u knowledge
on many subjects has been advanced by
the work done at the agricultural expert
ment stations that we deem che scientists
In charge worthy of such high praise.
Enlightenment in regard 10 the science
Of agriculture is certainly much needed,
and no one can maintain that the agri-
cultural stations are not doing their ut
most to supply this need. Indeed, our
only fear is that they will go ahead too
fast. However easy it may be for them
to arrive ab satisfactory results by means
of simple experiment it cannot be ex-
pected the average unsoientitic agricul-
furist will arrive at the same results with
equal ease; and it might therefore De
we'll for the scientists to pause OCCASION
ally. In order that their less erudite
brethren may have time 10 thoroughly
test the experiments. We make this
suggestion on the assumption that the
object OF those agricultural stations i
not solely to advance the cause OF pure
science. but also to benefit and INSTRUCT
auricuItur1sts. Experiments which show
conclusiyeIy that improvements are pos.
able in some branch of agriculture are
be inestirnable value, aud the more Topu'
lar they become the greater benefits VII
be reaped through them. Popular, how
ever. ID the ordinary meaning OF fht
word they can hardly become, ct leas1
for d considerable time, unless pains p
taken TO bring them to the notice not Q
SCIENTISTS, but Of average Woodworking
farmers. Excellent as the pamphlet
containing an account Of theexperlments
are. they are not al widely circulated g

farmers as they should be, and until the

nress will not be Clearly understood

TRANSATLANTIC CABBAGE PLANTS,

"For three consecutive seasons" says
Professor Bailey, Of the Cornell Univer-
sity station, "we have endeavored to
determine what foundation there may be
for the common notion that deep-set
cabbage plants give Letter heads and a
larger proportion of heads than those set
at the normal or natural depth. 1t is a
very general practice among gardeners
to set the plants to the depth of the first
leaf when transplanting to the field. A:
exhibited in tables in Bulletin No. 81,
the results of three years tests show that
no advantage is TO be gained by such a
practice
In 1889 the experiment was tried upon
twelve varieties, about twenty plants of
each being set up to the first leaf, and
as many more Get to the same depth at
which they giSod in the seed bed.
Strangely enoYgh, it appears that one
half the varieties gave better results from
shallow setting and the other half better
from deep setting. There were, however,
rather more heavy heads from the deep
setting. Combining all the results, the
gain in weight from deep setting was as
-. go is to 1916, a difference so small
as to lead to the conclusion that the par
,ticular method of planting probably had
nothing to do with the yields.
In 1890 the test was repeated, the
early Wakefield cabbage being used for
the purpose. The plants were grown
upon a heavy and rather poor clay loan.
Here the shallow planting gave decidedly
the better results. both in the percentage
of plants producing good heads and in
the average weight of heads.
In 1891 the test was again repeated,
this time with early Wakefield and Pre-
MUM Drumhead. The plants were
grown on a rich and well-prepared loose
clay loan and all the conditions through.
out the season were such as to insure 4
fair and uniform test. The average re.
suit was in favor of the shallow setting
SO far as the weight of heads is concerned
but in favor of deep setting in the per,
centage of plants producing good Oh
nature leads, but the differences were
slight ad no greater than might be ex-
pecte6d ON two or more lots of plant
t~reatee, n the same manner. The TIVE
varietike, however, gave different results
The E, ally Wakefield gave better result
from cmep setting and the Drumhe ac
from ALLOW setting, Upon the who'll
the resnats of the entire investigation
leads t6 the conclusion that the depth a
which strong and stocky cabbage plant
are SET does not influence the extent O.

Fruit Prices in Pioneer Days.

The early fruit growersof Oregon la
i wonderful market for a few years at
San Francisco. tn 1854 500 bushels OF
apples were shipped from Oregon to
California, and returned a net profit OF
from S1.5o to 50 per pound. In 1853
the shipments rose to 5000 bushels,
which sold at from so to $50 a bushel-
IN 1856 the shipments rose to 10000
boxes. Even in this year big prices were
received, and for choice fruit fancy fig
ares were obtained, one box of Esopui
~spitzenbergs selling for $50. The Cali
fornians planted apple.trees, and after
1850 the shipments of apples from Ore
gon began to decline. Apple-raising wa
