FLAX AS A FARM CROP.

As reported in the Division of Stats
tics of the Department of Agriculture,
special lnvestig cation was undertaken for
the purpose of ascertaining the produc-
ton of f1axseed. This shows that there
has been large increase in the area de-
voted to this crop during the last two
years, the increment being entirely west
of the Mississippi River, and mainly con-
fined to the States of Minnesota, Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas. The
acreage for 1891 is estimated at 1927,
293 acres, and the product Of seed 49,
455, 272 bushels.
The enlargement is in those districts
having the larger proportion of new
ands. Flax has been found the best
crop for first cultivation On sod land, as
sisting in getting the soil into good filth
or other crops, besides being money
crop. Another potent reason for the
heavy enlargement during the past two
years is the TACT that there has been a
steady demand for faxseed at prices
which have paid for its cultivation, bet
ter than the returns from wheat-grow-
ing. An increased acreage based upon
such reasons cannot De permanent, and
already, with lower offerings on the farm
for the seed, there are indications that
some portion of the area will be aban-
doned next year.
Under present conditions the crop is
grown almost entirely for the seed, the
fibre not being made use of to any great
extent. AS many correspondents de-
clare flax growing for the seed alone does
not pay except as first crop, the future
of the industry depends upon the utiliza-
ton of the fibre as we'll as of the seed.
There are indications in some sections Of
the Northwest, especially in Minnesota,
Of popular interest in the question of
establishing a fibre industry, and this
interest has been factor in the increase
in the area given to flax in that State

KEEPING HEDGES.

William Sanders, in report to the
Department of Agriculture, says: One
of the principal objections urged against
the employment of live fences or hedges
is the cost of keeping them in efficient
repair, for it admits of no qualification
that unless they receive proper attention
they will prove to be of but little value
as a fence against live stock.
Unfortunately, our best hedge plants
so far are of strong growth, especially
when young, and consequently require
to be trimmed two or three times during
the summer, at least for several years
farm crops demand attention, so that in
number of cases the hedge IS neglected
and soon ceases to be serviceable. The
best hedge plant is one that could be
kept by winter trimming only, because
in that season of comparative leisure it
would PROBABLY receive attention; but
with such strong growing plants as the
Usage, orange and honey locust, our two
popular hedge plants, it is impracticable
to produce a close fence without frequent
summer trimmings. There is one thing,
however, which should be put to their
credit, that after a few years the growth
will be less profuse; the weakening eff
feet of continued summer pruning ulti-
mately weakens the plants so that they
become easier managed. This also pre-
vents them from sending out their roots
to great distance, so that they do not
interfere with cultivated crops, an evil
SoL IL hoo
is neglected and allowed to take care of
itself. When hedge gets into con-
dition that one summer trimming and
one winter trimming will keep it in fair
ly good condition the labor and cost is
reduced to a minimum. It will also have
a tendency to retard the eXuberance of
carly summer growth if the winter trim
ming is delayed until after the buds be-
gin to push in spring. This will make
difference of several weeks in regard to
summer trimming and will prove of some
importance when summer pruning is
confined to one operation. The weakest
part of a hedge is always nearest the
ground. The criterion of a we'll kept
hedge is that of thickness at the bottom;
this also should be its widest part, and it
should taper upward to point. Unless
this form is strictly maintained the lower
branches vi gradually weaken and ulti
mately die out, leaving gapes which are
not easily closed. Hedges which become
weak and full of gaps through neglect
may DC renewed by cutting them down
in early winter to within eighteen inches
or so from the ground; the plants will
then branch out vigorously and by
proper pruning soon be all that need be
desired as fence.-New York Herald.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Ventilate the fruit cellar.
Have the fruit in a cool place.
Big acres do not always make success
full gardeners.
Glycerine will take the frost out OF
frozen combs.
Tuberous begonias appear to give
general satisfaction.
Everybody is saying a good word for
the bush lima bean.
Charcoa! is good corrective of bowel
disorders in poultry.
Save the poultry droppings. Store
them where they will be dry.
Shake the diciduous and evergreen
shrubs after each heavy snowfall.
Remember that pelargoniums thrive
in warm situation with air and sun
light.
Give the fowls all the range and exer-
else the weather will permit during the
winter.
Remember that the sheep will thrive
we'll upon oat straw, if it has not been
threshed.
Fasten small box to the side of the
hen house to hold oyster shells, ground
bone or grit.
If raw meat is given to the fowls too
often it will cause bowel diseases. Once
week is enough.
When making out your flower-seed
list include package of double white
phloX drummondli.
Broad backed, full-brcasted, large
boned turkeys are the best for breeding.
Have them we'll matured.
Several farmers each with small focks
of sheep will usually make more money
than one farmer with large flock.
Grooming the COWS is not often done,
but it would add to their spirit and COM
fort, however, as well as promote clean
illness.
One advantage with ducks about the
yard and garden is that they do not
scratch, although they are voracious
eaters.
The farmers troubles will not be
solved until We educate our children to
see and feel and understand and love the
world of life that concentrates in every
| bit of land we cultivate.
When fowls, apparently we'll cared
for and properly fed, grow poorer and
out for the large head louise, and grease
their heads and necks with meltAz
| lard.

7 tect the difference. The cost of raising
them is very little, for they eat very little
grain or other food before they are ole
enough for the market. The parent bird
feed them, and practically they "pics
up" their living in the fields and woods,
demanding only very little extra food
from the granary. The squads are thus
practically raised at no expense at all,
and they frequently bring as high as
fifty cents pair.
There is a prejudice against keeping
pigeons on the farm among many, but
this is generally founded upon some little
failure in the work which does not ap-
ply universally. Pigeons are useful on
the farm in gathering and destroying
countless weeds and seeds. In the sum-
mer and fall they pick up their living in
the grain fields, gathering the shelled
grain that would be lost, and not picking
it from the pods. There is no better
fertilizer than pigeon manure, and when
large f1ocks of them are raised they pro-
duce considerable. When the hay is out
of the NOV they should be allowed to fly
in there, and they will pick up a great
deal that would be lost. They do little
or no harm, while they destroy countless
numbers of weeds in the gardens and
fields. Of course, if corn and grain are
spread out for them daily IN abundance
they will devour it, but it not given this
they will pick up their living.
A flock can easily be started and kept
at home. 1t is only when poorly treated
or the focks become too crowded that
they leave their homes and settle else
where. Provide good nesting places and
homes for them, scatter a little seed
around inside daily and protect them
from enemies, and the pigeons Will stay
at home.
Cats, owls and night hawks will often
drive pigeons away from home. If these
animals and birds are around, the doors
to the pigeon lofts should be closed at
night, or some ira p set for the marauders.
There arc patent alighting boards and
doors now which automatically close after
the pigeon goes inside, and open again at
the will of the bird. These are good
devices for keeping the enemies out, but
the shotgun must often be called into
service. In the fall Of the year there is
quite demand for old pigeons for shoot
ing clubs, and the old stock, which may
be too tough to sell for their flesh, can
often be disposed of in this way. The
focks should be increased as large as
possible every year, for they like COM
pany, and it gives more life and interest
to place to see pigeons flying around
IN f1ocks.--American Cultivator.

PIGEONS ON THE FARM.

A pigeon loft may be an adjunct to
the poultry business, and considerable
profit may be obtained from it. There IS
generally good demand for old pigeons
and for squads, but the latter are always
the most profitable if quick returns are
expected. Young squads sell for good
price in the winter, when they are used
in the cities very often for cartridges and
quail. and none but the epicure can de-
