The PENNSYLVANIA station has been ex-
perimenting with silage corn, and some
scientific results as to planting and feed
ing value of the different varieties OF
corn are given that the Boston Cultiva-
vor thinks must be of general value.
Thick seeding has been found TO give the
best yield according to the nutritlve value.
Forty pints of seed corn planted to the
acre gave a much larger percentage of
drying matter for the silo than thirteen
pints, ana the dry matter Of the thick
seeded corn was 81 per cent. more d.
gestible than from the thin seeded.
Thick seeding in every way gave better
results than the thin seeded. The early
deut corn was found to be inferior to
the large late dent, which is not so COM
monty sold for field crops as the former.
The large dent produced forty-three
per cent. more dry matter than tie early
dent, and it was 81 per cent more di-
gestible. There can be but one conclu
sion from such experiments. Thick seed
ing and the use Of large stalked varie-
ties of corn should be used for Stage.
The Jensen system of treating grain
seeds in hot water applications before
using has been thoroughly explained in
this country, and many farmers adopt
the method of preventing loss through
smuts. Recent reports at Copenhagen,
Denmark, where J. /. Pensen has been
experimenting, give as the resulting IN
crease of the crops through the hot
water system of treating seed is between
three and eleven per cent. This increase
is explained by the fact that greater vi
tality is given to the seed by the hot
water soaking, and by the preventing of
smuts. In the treatment Of oats alone
millions of dollars have been saved to
the farmers of the world, and this was
all due to annual outlay of several thou
sand dollars by the public spirited in-
vestigator and discoverer of the system.
The treatment of grains by this method
differs somewhat in various countries
according to the moisture of the climate,
but the general principles are the same
wherever wheat, oats and other grains
are cultivated.

WHEN TO SOW BETS.

Any kind of beets may be sown in May
or early in June. The soil needs to be
made fine and mellow, and the seed is
sown ir rows twenty-four inches apart
for the sugar beets, and thirty inches for
field beets. The seed is soWn in these
rows ten inches apart, but as it is more
labor to drop the seed exactly this dis
lance than the cost of more seed, the
quantity of seed IS increased to six
pounds to an acre, which distributes it
quite closely. The excess Of plants is
then taken out by the hoe. or by running
a small land cultivator across the rows
and leaving strips of three or four inches,
with clear intervals Of eight or ten
inches between them. These small
squares thus left contain the plants and
these are kept free from weeds with the
hoe. The rest of the land is worked
with a common cultiVator, and the small
one in the cross rows, thus greatly re-
ducing the hand hoeing, which other
wise makes much labor in the wedding
OF the crop.
The seed may be sown by hand when
only small plot is cultivated, or by a
hand seed drill which drops and covers
the seed at the same time, when a larger
plantation is made. For the best yield
the crop needs liberal feeding, either
with manure plowed in N the fall, which
is the best time, or with fertilizers in the
spring, just before the planting. New

Silent, but Alert.

Parislan thief-takers are chiefly notice
able for an exceptionally ordinary APP
pearance, if onemay use the expression.
II is rather disappointing at first sight to
any one who knows detective literature;
but TO look ordinary and not TO be so is
obviously d great merit In the business,
when you come to think of 1t. One Of
them pulls out Of bis pocket specimen
of the homely instrument which does
duty fer handouts among these mep.
They call it a cabriolet, or, mere cor
rectly. ligotte, and it consists of some
twenty inches of whipcoTd, with a small
piece of wood at either end. The cord
is passed round the prisoners wrists and
twisted together. The thing is more
efficient than might be supposed, and
your true Partisan thief taker takes GER
tair pride in using si:apie means. He is
great at ready made and ingenious de-
vices. One plan with troublesome cap
tive is 10 take of one Of his boots, which
makes him limp; another is to unfasten
his clothes so that be is obliged to use at
least one hand in holding them up.
The men make their own ligottes, and
sometime procure more formidable
article by using strong wire N loops in
stead of whipcord. But the real master
hand disdains even the llgotte; be carries
nothing whatever, 10 matter where De
goes. With the majority of the crimi-
nails his mere personal influence suffices
to mpose obedience, and when be meets
with desperate character be prefers TO
trust to bis goo6 right hand rather than
any weapon of offence.-New York

CHANGE IN DAIRY METHOD.

OF late years the whole practice of
dairying has changed. It used to be
that COWS were pastured through the
summer, and the butter was packed
away for sale late in the fall or in the
winter. Then the buyers went around
and bought up the stock made in the
summer. The COWS were dry by the
first snowfall and we're merely kept alive
through the winter and turned out on
the fresh grass in the spring. There are
many farmers who got SO deep in this
ola rut that they could not see out of it
and notice that they were left behind,
and were going on alone, and quite out
of sight of their wide awake neighbors.
And they are still plodding along in the
same secluslon. But others on the look
out for Improvements changed their
method and management, and are max
ing their cows work aud make profit
every day in the year that is possible,
and for the time they must rest this is
chosen when it costs the least for feed
ing. Thus winter dairying is the basis
of the new practice, and by high feed
ing at this season and most improved
methods, butter is made for sale fresh
from the dairy, or is packed for sale in
the summer, when the cows can rest at
the least cost. Butter may be made bet
ter and more cbeaply in the winter than
in the summer By the use of the modern
apparatus, and it is far easier to keep
the milk warm by fire at this season than
it is to keep it cold in the summer by
the use of ice. And thus winter dairy

DIVIDING THE OLD FARM.

It is the rule when a man has put a
good deal of work iuto anything, he is
pretty sure to develop an affection for it.
The acres farmer has toiled to bring
to high productiveness are as the apple
of his eye, sometimes it would seem even
dearer than family ties. When sons and
daughters come to an age for leaving
home, nine times out of ten the wisest
thing a farmer can do is to deed them a
part of the old farm. More often than
not what the farmer reserves for his own
use will give him more profit than the
whole would do if cultivated without
the help of children who have helped
him perhaps for several years before
they attain their majority, more than he
generally realizes. Boston Cultivation.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

knowledge of the apiary must be

you with facts, but results must be the
work of ones own experience,
By feeding at short intervals all that
an animal will eat up clean the hogs can
be made to fatten more rapidly, but the
work must be done regularly.
The light Brahmas are of the very
best breeds to keep where it is desired
to raise large, heavy roosters that can be
made ready for market when six or seven
months old.
Meehan says it is always better to
prune roses early in the winter than to
wait till spring, aud, as a general prin-
ciple, it is much better to prune early
than to prune late.
The new chrysanthemum, Golden
Wedding, attracted much attention at
the late show in New York, and has
been pronounced as probably the finest
yellow yet produced.
Have you ever figured out how much
profit you made by letting sheep run in

spirits undertake the JOB.
Professor W. A. Henry has shown by
experiment that it costs 81 to pro-
duce 100 pounds of gain with lambs,
and So. 03 to secure the same gain with
pigs of about the same age.
When the eggs are wanted for the in.
cubator, a good plan is to separate the
hens from the roosters for a week and
then turn them together, and then begin
saving the eggs in few days.
While the farm affords plenty OF range
and an abundance of grass for the fowls,
yet with this good feed and care are
necessary, especially during the winter,
if the best results are secured.
Some of the winter-fowering salvias
are very snowy. s. involucrata is one of
the best; it has long spikes of pink
flowers, and it lasts in bloom three
months, says correspondent in Garden
ing.
On the farm, at least, it is often pos
sible to keep a small flock with very lit
tie expense, as they will be able to pick
up the greater part of their feed, while
if larger number were kept more feed
ing would be necessary.
The main reason why shallow cultiva-
ton succeeds so we'll with the onion is
according to A. A. Crozler, because the
roots grow best in a compact soil, and
the explanation which attributes the
general practice of cultivation to the
supposed shallow roofing habit of the
plant is erroneous.

The TrapdO0r Plant.

The Utricularla grows in the lakes on
the sandhllls, and not less than two
species of this genus keep company with
the pitcher plant in it's Doggy home.
These plants have become so thoroughly
accustomed to support themselves by
capturing and digestlng minute animals
that, except in their very earliest stages,
they are able to dispense altogether with
roots and to live fiosting near the sur
face of the water. The leaves of these
plants are finely and frequently divided,
and the numerous and fibre like branch
ings are set with many minute bladders,
more or less globular in shape. These
bladders are not completely closed. On
their under side they are furnished with
a tiny trapdoor, opening easily from
without, but not from within. By this
trapdoor minute crustaceans and other
creatures enter the bladder, never to re-
turn. Once they are entrapped, there is
no escape. The valve closes tightly over
the entrance, and the prisoner soon dies
by consuming the oxygen out Of the very
limited amount Of water which the blad-
der contains.
IL Is uOC NSi ClcdI "ldG .CIb pLo VIC
prey to enter the bladders. Possibly
there is some special contrivance for the
purpose, though not yet observed; but it
seems as if mere curiosity, which so often
runs men and women into danger, has
exactly the same effect with these tiny
animalcules. The trapdoor is surrounded
by a number of fine bristles, probably to
keep off larger creatures which might
injure the bladder by attempting to en-
ter. Whether or not the plant has &C
tually tho power of digesting the insects
it contrives to capture is still a mooted
point. 1t may, like the Drosera, secrete
some acid digestive fluid, but this is not
certain. The captured animalcules, how
ever, in the course o! time decompose,
when the juices of their tiny bodies are
gradually absorbed by the walls of the
bladder and 60 to nourish the whole
plant.-Good Words.

SHEEP SAVED BY BELLS.

A South Dakota correspondent of
Farm, Stock and Home having "lost
lambs enough by wolves to pay for half
a dozen bells tor every sheep in the
flock, " finally ended the costly and cruel
slaughter by the simple expedient which
has been frequently recommended by
Eastern shepherds in the chronic war
fare against bloodthirsty dogs of all de-
grees:
alt is no use to put a single bell, or a
small number, on a large flock, as fire.
quently a few sheep Will get separated
from the main flock, out of hearing of
the bells. Last year had few lambs
killed in August. No bells were on the
sheep. A small bell was put on each
lamb and it ended the loss for that year.
This year the bells were put on the old
sheep, about one to fifteen. The flock
was watched, on account Of lambs, until
some time in June. In July more lambs
were killed. l then bought sixty more
bells, small COW bell pattern (cost, with
straps, $14 so per hundred), and put
them on the lambs, and have lost none
since. The wolves are here, have fire.

it may have found weak spot in the vi
cinity OF the Jayary's auxiliary battery or
passed through portfolio. But if single
shot would ordinarily sink man. Of war
naval battles in former days would have
been short. Another inference seems to be
that these heavily armored vessels go down
with slight provocation. Minister Men,
donca assumes that when the shock came
the Javary listed to one side and that the
tremendous weight of her turrets and big
guns added such momentum to the move
ment that a large body of water was
shipped. In other words. the percen tage
of buoyancy was so small that any force
that threw the vessel out of poise was
liable to sink her. These heavily armored
vessels are terrific engines of war so long
as they do the fighting. But vessel which
is only sure of itself in a calm sea and
under such conditions that the blows she
is exposed to are much lighter than
those she can deliver would seem to be
valuable principally as an auxiliary to
shore batteries. In the construction of
these vessels the margin of buoyancy lie
much too narrow.

it has t be made up by increased duties on
other articles. A tariff for revenue only re-
quires duties on all imports, with such
discretions as to uniformity as may be
necessary to the collection of the duty
named. For example. a duty of 80 per
cent on all imports would provide the
Government with as much revenue as has
usually been drawn from customs. but it
might be found that so per cent duty on
certain articles would be uncolIectable.
According to report the Ways and Means
Committee is going TO present to the con-
sideration of Congress hy brid tariff. 1t
promises to be neither one thing nor the
other. To the extent of admitting raw
materials free it is protection to manu-
factures, and to the extent to which 1t
admits non-competitive articles free it
fails of being a revenue tariff. Under a
revenue tariff there would be duties on
tea, coffee. sugar. spices and all other
imports whether competitive or not.
