SEVERAL SORTS OF BREAD.

Pulled bread is delicious accom-
paniment of cheese, and is an agree
able substitute for the usual biscuits,
with lemonade, wine and tea. Take
from the oven an ordinary loaf when
it is about half baked, and, with the
fingers, while it is still hot, put the
half set dough into pieces of irregular
shape, about the size of an egg. Do
not attempt to smooth or fatten them,
as they are better the rougher they
are. Set on tins, place in very slow
oven and bake to rich brown.
Rice bread is variation of the staff
of life which breaks the monotony of
the continual wheat bread fare. Take
half pound of rice and boil gently
over slow fire in quart of water un-
til it is soft enough to be beaten into
q smooth paste. Mix this while warm
into a pound and quarter of -four,
adding at the same time the usual
quantity of yeast Kneed it very thor
oughly. Allow the dough to work
near the fire, after which divide it into
loaves and bake.
Potato bread is another variation
which is much liked. Place three
pounds of -four near the fire to warm ;
take pound of potatoes, peel, boil
and wash them as though for the table.
Mix with cold water until they are
smooth and liquid enough to pass
through sieve easily. Add the yeast,
mix and bake in the usual way.-New
York World.

A Pressure of a Million Pounds.

Some interesting experiments have
been made at Washington University,
st. Louis, with the largest hydraulic
testing machine in the world. 1t
can exert pressure of 1000, 900
pounds. Timbers such as are used for
pillars in large commercial buildings
were crushed, not broken, lengthwise.
A piece of timber capable of sustaining
5000 persons was crushed like an egg
shell when placed in the machine. The
best brick piers two feet square,
columns of granite foot square and
sandstone three feet square are ground
to powder with the greatest ease. The
machine was designed for the purpose
of pursuing Investigations being made
by the Government of the strength of
commercial woods grown in the United
States. New York Telegram.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

good feed for young shoats is two
ffths shorts and one-ffth oil meal.
The apiarist should pay especial at
tention to the weak colonies.
Honey, either comb or extracted, if
properly taken care of improves with
age.
If moths once get footing in the
hives, the colonies will be destroyed in
n very short time.
1t is predicted that in few years
bees will be kept by fruit growers for
the purpose of carrying pollen from
one blossom to another Of tho small
fruits rs we'll as for the large ones.
Land that is not drained does not
have time to dry sufficiently between
rains to permit working the crops. In
an extremely wet season, and in an ex-
tremely dry one, the cost of draining
is sometimes repaid by single crop
Water your horses more than three
times day while they are working
hard during hot weather, even if it
does put you to some inconvenience.
The extra work that they will do, and
the better condition in which they will
keep, will fully repay you.
Do not attempt to grow root crops
without feeding them we'll Without
exception they are gross feeders, and
demand good, rich soil in order to
produce paying yields The men who
are most successful with these apply an
amount of manure that many farmers
would consider excessive for any crop.
A crop which will produce good
yield of forage aud hay upon light soils
is one of the things that we need. The
Michigan station thinks we may have
it in Spurry, an annual which they
have recently been testing with good
results This is called weed in Great
Britain, but is a hay and forage crop
in Belgium, France and Russia.
There are numerous easy ways of
teaching the calf to drink, but to many
this seems to be very hard job. Give
the calf the end of your finger few
times and he will soon learn TO drink
Use the method as given by little
girl, who said that she taught the
youngsters the way in which to drink
by wrapping a piece of cloth around a
corn cob and placing it in the milk.
White fowls are often very popular
because they look clean. A spotless
plumage, accompanied with bright-red
combs make decidedly beautiful pic
ture in feathers, whether it be on the
lawn, in the green meadow in spring
time or before you in n clean, tidy
poultry house. 1t is well, however,
that we have variety in color; it en-
ables all TO be suited in taste, for in
this regard many Of us differ.

BREEDING OFF THE HORNS,

Tt is futile hope to expect to
breed hornless cattle by the practice
of dishorning. There have been in
stances in which an artificial peculiar
ity in the animal has become inherited,
but this is exceedingly rare and is not
to be taken as rule for breeders.
Lambs have been docked for centuries,
but they still come into the world with
long tails. The only satisfactory way
to have herd of pooled cattle is to
use polled bull, and this, being in
conformity to the natural laws of
breeding, may be depended on in time
to fix this character on the progeny.
1t may not be fully effective in the
first generation or in several, but ex-
perience has shown that in time the
character of the sires will be fixed on
the progeny in the end. For dairy
cattle the polled red Norfork will
make a good hornless sire. The
Scotch Aberdeen cattle are sometimes
excellent dairy animals. New York
Times.

PLANTING YOUNG TREES.

A great deal of difficulty is ex-
prienced in handling young trees that
have been bought at nursery, and
especially if they have been trans
ported long distance. All nursery
men in sending out trees should con-
slider it part of their contract to send
written orders with their trees, giving
good description of the kind of soil
in which the trees have been growing,
and the general location of the nursery.
This would help many farmers and
fruit growers to give the trees a good
start. AS it is now, very often the
entirely different soil to which they
have been accustomed, and year or
two of good growth is lost through
this sudden change.
A great deal can be saved, however,
if the farmer understands how to
handle the trees and how best to set
them out. Many trees are received
during dry season, and as they have
been transported long distance, they
need planting at once. When the
trees are received they should be set
Immediately, and the longer they are
kept implanted the longer will the
check to their growth be made. Prune
off carefully ali dead and mutilated
roots. Then dig hole large enough
to accommodate all of the remaining
roots in the positions in which they
hang. If the roots can be planted in
their natural position there will be
less danger of loss; but to do this,
very large holes are often required.
Place the tree in the hole and fill it
half up with the clay, and then
saturate it thoroughly with water until
it is workable clay. With a small hoe
or blunt stick this sticky clay should
be worked carefully around and into
the roots of the tree. With little
quickly get established, and decide
largely the future of the tree. After
this the rest of the soil should be
thrown in and piled up around the
tree, and good mulch of stable
manure provided. If the season is a
wet instead of dry one, the top
mulch will not be needed, but if there
is any danger of drought, the mulch
is the only way to prevent the roots
from getting thirsty. But with good
mulch newly set tree can be kept
moist for months The water that
has been applied directly to the roots
will be kept there, and not allowed to
evaporate.
To put all of the soil back into the
hole, and then pour water upon it, is
method that many practice now, but
is not nearly as satisfactory MS the one
described. A great deal of the water
thus put on the surface will never get
down to the roots, but will be absorbed
more by the surrounding surface soil.
When we put it in the hole half filed
with soil, it goes direct to the roots,
where it is needed. Where the soil is
very dry in times of drought, it is sur
prising to see how much water the
surface soil will absorb. If one digs
down foot, however, he will find
that the subsoil is still untouched by
the water. r.-American Cultivator.

Prairies Fired by Lightning.

A bolt of lightning set fire to the dry
prairie grass in Hodgeman County,
Kansas, few days ago. A heavy cleo
trio storm came up and the heavens
were ablazo with lightning. The
country was as dry Us tinder, and a
sea of dry prairie grass extended for
miles. The lightning struck the earth,
boring hole in the ground six feet
deep, and setting the grass on fire.
There was high wind, and before the
rain, which followed, could extinguish
the fire it completely devastated tract
of country five miles wide by ten long,
destroying fences, barns and farm
houses. The occupants of the houses
only escaped with their lives by taking
refuge in their ''cyclone pits" which
are dug out in the earth and covered
with dirt. A large number of horses
and cattle perished in the flames. -

MILKING IN THE STABLE.

Milk the cows in the stable. 1t is
much better than the old way of out
door milking. The flies are not so
troublesome, and the COWS are not run
ming around the yard, causing the
mixer to follow, two or three times in
the course of the operation. Give
each COW little grain, if no more than
enough to encourage her to go readily
to her place in the clean milking
stable. American Agriculturist.

FEEDING VALUE OF CREAM GLUTEN MEAL

FEEDING VALUE OF CREAM GLUTEN MEAL.
The results of series of feeding
tests ct the Vermont experiment Eta
ton with sugar meal, cream gluten
meal and germ feed speak very strong
ly in favor of the high feeding value
of cream gluten meal. Two of the
COWS ate it quite vol, the other left
good deal of it, but in spite of this .he
cream gluten produces more milk than
the bran and corn in four cases out Of
six, makes richer milk five ti.nos out
of six and yields moro butter fat every
time. The milk increases about ono
twelfth, the richness of the milk in
creases q third of one per cent md tho
net gain is about one-sixth Of the total
fat.
On herd of twenty COWS yielding
5000 pounds apiece of four per cent.
milk with butter at twenty-five cents
pound such an increase would repre-
sent $50 pounds of butter yearly with
value of $165.
The figures obtained show that not
withstanding the fact that the sugar
meal was not eaten in SO large quenti-
ties as the bran and corn, and the
further fact that what effect the change
to pasture had was against the sugar
meal, yet it gave better returns than
the bran and corn. In the five trinls
itproduced rore milk and more pounds
of fat every time, and O richer milk
four times out of five. producing one
ninth more milk, one-fftieth richer
and one-seventh more butter.
Not so good results were obtained
with the germ feed. It's use was fol-
lowed by decrease of milk, an in
crease of richness and but slight change
in the total amount of fat. 1t has then
considerably. less feeding value than
the cream of gluten meal and the sugar
meal, rs one would naturally expect
from its composition and market price.
1t has apparently about the came feed
ing value pound for pound as the mix
ture of bran and corn, and as ii can be
purchased in the market for less than
either of these it follows that il should
be an economical and profitable feed.
Mr.. Cook is led to the conclusion
that germ feed has about the same feed
ing value as mixture of equal perts
byweight of wheat bran and corn meal :;
that sugar meal and cream gluten meal
both have higher feeding value than
the above, and that these latter also
have slight effect OH the richness of
the milk.
Finally, it should be remembered
tina. this is but slight series of trials
aud that the work needs to be repeated
several times before sure conclusion
can be drawn.
1t is necessary here to utter word
OF caution in regard to the use Of these

BEST CROP FROM DRILLED CORN.

For three years, says a New York
farmer in the Tribune, our drilled
corn has yielded from 106 to 130 BUSH
els of ears per acre, whereas we got
but seventy-tive to 100 by tho check
row method. The extra yield is due
to there being more stalks; you can
have four to six stalks to every three
feet of drill, and they ear as well as
three to four stalks put in a checkrow
clump. We plow the ground in the
fall, draw ten to twelve loads of good
stable menure per acre early in the
spring, SO the strength of the manure
will be partly washed into the soil be-
fore planting. Harrow same as for
any crop. Set the drill to SOW from
s! to 81 quarts per acre, according to
size and variety of corn. But the
safest way to set the drill is to pull
the rubber hose out of the hoe and let
the corn run OH top of the ground, and

or less phosphate may run in with the
corn and clear wood ashes used (by
those not wishing to buy much fertil-
