Sorghum Fodder.

Great care should be employed to keep
the cows in milk as long as possible. it
takes large percentage from the profits
when cows are dry from three to four
months in the year, or II their flow of
milk decreases to any very marked de-
gree during the last four or FIVE months
Of the year.
Clean, warm stables, plenty of pure
water, from which the chill has been
taken, roots or grain, or both, in addi-
ton to their dry feed, are conditions
which secure success in winter dairying
Nor is winter the only time when the
cows need supplementary food. AS soon
as the summers drought begins to short
en- the pastures there should be plenty of
corn or sorghum, to supply the lacking
feed. Sorghum is an especially satisfac-
tory crop for this purpose, as the cattle

SECOND STORY,

decorative work Is in brick The arches Of
the windows and the cornice, the brick
work above, are all of brick laid in red NOR
tar. The other work is dark red brick laid
in white mortar The result is fairly salts
factory. 1t is better and more lasting than
galvanized iron. A cornce of brick is more
permanent than one of wood, and the fronts
are more interesting than those which usu-
ally belong to low cost store buildings.
The architect who insists on putting more
money into the exterior of structure of
this kind than the conditions warrant sim
ply because he wants to make a show is not
doing his full duty. Investment in prop
erty of this kind is always limited by the
returns, and thus 1t decidedly pays to use
the money in way to secure permanency,
solidity and internal convenience. After
that, If there happens to be a small margin,
1t is well TO indulge in a little decorative
work. No man who builds wants to make
an absolutely ugly structure. 1t Is pleas
ant to look upon something which is really
nice, and, again, it pays. 1t is generally this
consideration which influences the regard
for appearances.
When those who invest In property of
this kind say that they have nothing to put
into show, IL indicates that they are not
fully sincere. No one, no matter how close
in money matters, wants to put up struc-
ture which is absolutely ugly He wishes
to get his building at as low cost as pos
sible, but he Is nearly always disposed to
pay for that which IL decorative and inter

Spring Is the best time to invest money
In bees. All danger Of losing them dur
ing the winter is passed. If it is a good
season, the money paid out may be re,
funded in honey and swarms, writes an
Ohio apiarian in The Farm Journal. He
says: In making a selection of bees, I'M
less you wish to become a fancier bee
man, do not allow yourself to be
mashed" with very yellow banded bees
Beauty in bees, as we formerly observed,
is very much like the beauty of the hu-
man form; as a general thing, it is only
skin deep We have invariably found
that the dark. leathery Italians are the
best workers and of course the most
successful honey gatherers. In making
purchase be sure your hives are full of
bees with just sufficiency of honey to
reach the last of May or the middle of
June. Better have hives full of bees
than those full of honey with but few
bees The queens in such hives may be
dead or, if alive, old and deficient in fer
tility. The fewness Of their offspring in
dictates feebleness that is undesirable. II
the hives are composed of movable
frames, they can be easily inspected.
Rheumatic persons should try their
hands at beekeeping 1t is generally
conceded that the formic acid infused by
bee stings is highly beneficial in curing
this painful disease. Be cautious at first
in the application Of the remedy. An
overdose may be more painful than the
original disease.
A weak solution of carbolic acid and
common salt is considered by some a
specific for bee stings. Honey commands
a good price and will be likely to do so
until a new crop. Don't worry about
the market being oyerstocked. Rather
DO anxious about getting enough honey
TO overstock 1t. Good honey will never
spoil. The longer it is kept the better 1t
gets Whoever will become Jay Gould
in beekeeping must, like him, be pre-
pared for emergencies, This is the secret
of success in all pursuits.

If the eye of the potato is allowed to
grow in a warm, dark place, it quickly
saps all the vigor from the shoot and also
from the tuber. The slender white shoot
is good for nothing to begin healthy
growth, and 1t has taken so much of the
substance of the potato that it is value.

the sunlight and drying winds, however,

The slower the green shoot pushes and
the more the potato dries out the strong.

ness Some market gardeners who have

They often cut the seed and spread il

unfit for eating makes, because of that
fact. all the better seed"

An officer in the treasury at Washing

the time of the commencement of the
"little dispute" witnessed the hasty re-
turn of the panic stricken Union troops

says:

WHERE TO PUT FERTILIZERS.

Are the Best Results From Broadcast Sow.
ing or by Drilling?
Following are opinions expressed by
progressive farmers in communications
made to Rural New Yorker;
N. d. Platt, Connecticut, writes: ut
has been my practice to broadcast half
my fertilizers and drill the other half /
think it better to use some in the drill to
give the crop an early start and push it
ahead as vigorously as possible before
the insects, ETC., appear. | always apply
my fertilizer by hand. | would apply
the fertilizer and plant the crop, after
blowing, as soon as the soil was in suit
able condition. do not think it would
pay to either moisten the fertilizer or to
mix it with loan before using it."
Woodruff Petit says: II should de-
cidedly drill for wheat, the advantages
being, so far as my experience goes, as
two to one in its favor. AS to potatoes,
| have not had sufficient experience to
give a well grounded opinion as to wheth-
err il would be we'll to drill or not. Ny
plan has been to use about 500 pounds of
high grade fertilizer in the furrow plant
in per acre. and this has given satisfac-
tory results. My experience for corn is
that 60 pounds of fertilizer applied in the
hill always give the plants good send
off, making after cultivation much more
convenient and increasing the crop, but
on poor land much more fertilizer will
be needed, and it should be applied broad
cast in addition to what has been drilled
in"
DC. Lewis, New Jersey, explained his
practice as follows: 81 have practiced
both plans on the same crop. have
broadcasted entirely and have applied all
in the row at the time of planting In
consequence of the blight striking the
potato crop now apply about half the
fertilizer at the time of planting and the
other half as soon as the potatoes are
large enough to be cultivated. l believe
this plan gives the crop better start and
enables me to cultivate sooner, and hence
induces a quicker growth. In this local
ity we have three different machines for
applying fertilizers, and all do good work,
Mine is distributed at the time of plant
ing by the Aspinwall planter. If i ap-
plleu In6 IeTLlllZeT DTOduCdSJ, WOulu uO
so at the time when preparing the ground
for planting and apply all before plant
ing prefer that fertilizers should be
dry at all times and under all circum.
stances"
Dennis Finn, New Jersey, said: II get
the best results by drilling in the ferti-
lizers for all kinds of crops. For potatoes
spread to prevent any loss Of nitrogen
which might occur. Then would also
get the benefit of the phosphoric acid
contained in it rather than eliminate any,
Very fine ground bone or pulverized tank
age might be moistened, but not enough
to produce heat"
Mr.. Merwin, Connecticut, writes: I'm
case of all crops that send their feeders
good distance from the plants we recon-
mend a broadcasting. Potatoes being
quick growing crop and a searcher for
plant food within quito a limited area
must have quick access to food to yield
the best results; hence we largely drill"

A Manure Factory.

A correspondent, writing to The Coun
try Gentleman, tells how to start ma
nure factory on run down farm. Get
a pig and build pen for him with a
yard attached, and into this yard is cart
ed every refuse from the gardens, sea
weeds, sods from the fence corners OF
anything obtainable, and all is worked
over by his pigship, This, put on the
soil, enables the gardener to grow twice
as much truck as he could without the
aid of pig. Soon the pen is enlarged to
accommodate two pigs, and more truck
is grown, until after little COW lie
bought. and then more pigs are added.

MiIk For Cheesemnl.inr.

Milk for cheesemaking should always
be aerated as soon as drawn from the
COW. First class cheese can only be
made from milk that is absolutely free
from all impurities and aeration helps to
secure such. Dairymen who furnish
milk to the factories should be taught to
use aerators. A very effective one can
be made easily and cheaply by drilling
one-sixteenth inch holes through the
bottom and near tho outer edge of some
kind of a vessel. Suspend this as high as
possible above another vessel and let the
milk run through while it is yet warm
