Hints to Farmers.

There is less talk of overproduction
in the dairy line than in any business
of which we know.
Punctuality should be the motto Of
the dairyman. Regularity in feeding
and milking is a prime factor in getting
the highest results.
Do you know any way by which the
corr land can be more thoroughly,
easily and cheaply fortified than by
blowing under a good growth of rye?
If so, we would like to have your eX-
perience, as we have never found a bet
ter method.
We have observed for many years
that the blackberry is rarely ever
abundant in any of u large markets.
This is a crop that rarely fails where it
has proper attention, and will return a
good profit upon the land and labor
which it requires.
When planting trees for the adorn-
ment Of the home grounds let us coun-
sci you to give preference to the native
forest growths. Do not waste money
for fancy foreign growths that are not
half so handsome nor well suited to
the purpose. Nearly all of our native
trees car be used to advantage for this
purpose.
More boiled cotton seed for the cows
should be used in the South. That is,
not more by the individual farmer,
who, il he uses it ut all, puts 1t in
with other rations, as ii Is too rich to
feed alone; but more farmers should
utilize this food in a section where
dairying is at last becoming recognized
as a most profitable business.
There is as much need for the study
of economy in the household as upon
the farm. 1t has always been a matter
for wonder with us that farmers will
buy their table supplies in such small
quantities, when a good percentage
could be saved by buying in larger
lots. In purchasing almost all staples
two or three families could join to-
gether and get goods at almost whole
sale prices.

Renewing Old Trees.

times become like brush heaps by nj

and the stem and branches infested
10y the growth of mess. Still more i'm
portant than pruning Is 1t to give them
good cultivation. Manure spread broad
cast should not be omitted. Here are
four requisites, which when neglected
make the difference betw cen fine de-
hcious crops and sn all and scabby ap-
pies The success Of this treatment
has been shown by a few examples,
Where trees had become so old as to
nearly bearing, while n portion
OF h smaller branches were actually

pruned by cutting all The dead
shoots, aud a good form thus given

these trees afterward afforded repaid

THE AGRICULTURAL WORLl
VALUABLE POINTERS FOR THE
FARMER.
The Availability of Deepening
Plowing-Oyster Shells ms Food for
Laying HenR-Some DOn'ts for
Fathers-Hints for Farmers.

During the fall plewing is the best
time to deepen the blowing, as the
new soil will be greatly benefited by
the action Of freezing and thawing, rain
and snow, during the winter. The
character of the subsoil should, how
ever, in a greater measure, determine
the depth Of blowing. A hard pan
suosoil had best be left il it be deep.
With clay, a subsoil plow a be used
to a good advantage as this would
deepen the soil without bringing the
reproductive soil underneath. yet rea-
sonably near the surface, can be bene-
fitted more by deep stirring than deep
blowing while a loamy soil of sufficient
depth to admit of deep blowing with
put bringing TO the surface unproduc-
tive soil. will be greatly benefited by
deep blowing. The character OF the
soil must always be considered in deter
mining the manner of blowing. Often
there win be plenty of latent fertility
in the subsoil that needs only the ae-
ton of the air and other elements TO
make il available. The deeper the
soil and the larger the available supply
of plant food. the better will the soil
retain moisture and the more surely
will ii grow good crops.
BY blowing this kind Of soil deep in
the fall, considerable benefit may be de-
rived. But even then it may not be
best to pillow too deep at n time, and
especially the case when shallow plow-
ing has been followed for some years
and the fertility Of the surface soil
has in a measure been exhausted.
With this class of soils the better plan
In nearly all cases rs to deepen gradu-
ally, a little at each blowing.
Better results will be secured n plow-
Ing land deeper for the first time If
Ii is left reasonably rough, as this ex-
poses il more fully to the action or
the different elements through the win
ter. A soil that Is stirred deep is in
a much better condition TO grow a good
crop than il only the surface is worked,
but the character of the soil mus de-
termine whether it shall be plowed
deep or the surface plowed and the I'M
der soil simply stirred or loosened up.
But in either case, the fall Is a good
time for doing the work.-N. ]. s. in

Turnfp Culture.

Probably few vegetables are more
satisfactorily grown by amateurs than
the turnip, and yet 1t is n which they
very seldom think to try. The reason
probably is that SO many persons try
to grow vegetables by published hints
in catalogues and serials, which are I'm.
possible to carry out, by reason Oh
the different climates and circumstance
under which vegetables are grown
This was particularly found to be a
trouble in the early literary work OF
the senior editor Of this magazine, who
endeayored to get up hints for the
month in the periodicals with whlch
he was connected. In a small country
like England, densely populated, and
where the whole country Is scarcely
larger than the single State OF Penn
s~ylyania. instructions of this kind can
be made generally useful; but In our
country. which extends almost from
he tropics 10 the Arctics, it is impos-
sible TO give any details which shal
be valuable over any extent or TERRI
tory. The turnip is especially an IL
Irstration Of this. In order to get them
into thorough perfection they can only
be made to reach this point when the
temperature is comparatively low-no
one can raise good turnips when the
temperature is over 50 deg. or 90 deg,
and as soon as it gets beyond this they
are hot and stringy. Thus in Penn
sylyania the turnip would have to be
sown to get the best results about the
middle of September; a hundred miles
north 1t would have to be w weeks
earlier. and so on; until in Canada one
might SOW turnips about midsummer
and yet have fairly good results. In
some parts of our southern country
we can get very good turnips by rails
ing them in m~idwinter; at any rate,
If one can remember this point
about the temperature it requires, 1t
is a hint for successful culture any
where. 1t may be further remarked
that to have good turnips the soil can
not possibly be made too rich.

Oyster Shells as Food for Laying
Hens.

During the past few years consider
able discussion has occurred among
poultrymen in regard to the question
whether oyster shells were of any use
to the hen as a source of material for
the egg-shell.
1t is generally known that the or
binary grains fed to poultry are very
deficient in lime, and some have sought
to supply this deficiency, under the
supposition that oyster shells were in
soluble, by relying solely upon some
plant foods rich in lime, such as the
clovers. Crushed oyster shells have
been extensively fed and with good re-
suits, but it has been thought by many
that they were of value solely as grit.
No satisfactory answer seems to have
been made TO the question and, in or
der TO obtain some definite information.
several experiments have been made
during the past two years at the New
York agricultural experiment station.
Six one-year-old hens were used in
these experiments, the results of which
are summed up as follows:
The feeding of oyster shells during
the laying season, where they can be
cheaply obtained. is recommended. One
pound viii contain lime enough for the
shell of about seven dozen eggs.
Fine gravel containing limestone will
probably as well supply the deficiency
Of lime existing in most foods. but the
use of some sharper grit with it may
be Of advantage.
Long or sharp splinters of glass or
dry bone should be avoided. The size
Of particles Of grit had, for hens, better
be larger than that of a kernel of
wheat, and should be smaller than that
Of n kernel of corn.
An unlimited supply Of pounded glass
has been attended with no bad results
when the food and other grit available
TO the fowls contained an abundance
OF lime, but when the food was def
Gent in lime and no other grit was OBJ
tainable. hens ate an injuriously large
amount of glass.

Don't lean down too hard when the
boy is turning the grindstone; this is one
of the causes Of boys leaving the farm.
Don't expect the boy to keep up with
you and the hired men, and run err
rands or carry water at the same time.
Don't expect the boy to maintain an
angelic disposition if, after working
hard all day, he is obliged to eat at the
second table.
Don't give the boy a lamb or calf to
raise-whieh would have died If he had
not attended to it-and let it grow up
to be dads sheep or cow.
Don't continue to treat the boy as If
he had no sense, but consult with him
occasionally; he may possibly know
more than you do.
Don't rave and storm because the
