MULES FOR PARh WORK.

The mule is used much more than
the horse in the South, probably in
part because Southe>n laborers are not
10 be trusted with the more spirited
and valuable animal. A Southern
planter mentions as advantages OF
mules over horses: Their feet are
smaller, 30 they injure the crops less
when working in them, and can be
used in closer rows than horses they
are less liable to disease, are better
feeders, being less fastidious as to
what they eat, endure hardship better,
are not 30 easily injured and are
stesdier to work at the plow. The
experience of most Northern farmers
with mules is that, however serviceable
for work on the farm, it is less pleas
ant and less safe to work among them.
Good horses are none the worse for
the farm, because they require better
care than the mules will put up with.

RAISING CALVES.

A calf to each COW can be raised on
skim milk and little additional food.
A calf may be fed skim milk when one
week old, with the addition of one gill
of boiled faxseed, increasing this ra-
tion gradually to pint per day when
four weeks old, and then adding fine
middlings or corn and oats ground to-
gether, or a pint to one quart of oats
unground.

milk, will produce very fine growth,
leaving the calf as mellow to the touch
as if sucking the COW. A calf two
months old will gain three pounds per
day on this ration. The oil taken off

fifth of the money value of the cream.
Butter dairymen may raise a calf to

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

A good mulch keeps down weeds.
Mixed grasses make the best pasture.
Milk as quickly and quietly as pos.
sible.
The curl in the pigs tail is a sign OF
health.
Small eaters are almost always poor
mixers.
Large crops are not always the most
profitable ones.
Liquid manure will force crops to
rapid maturity.
The best quality Of meat comes from
the pig, not the hog.
Bulky food should always be fed
with concentrated food.
Pigs in the orchard will consume
wormy fruit and insects.
Change the quarters and pasture OF
your sheep occasionally.
Too much wood is prolific cause of
the non-fruitage of trees.
A creamery should not be started on
less than three hundred cows.
Oil meal is concentrated food and
shorld be given in moderation.
The more flowers are picked, the
more flowers the plant will bear.
Raspberries, with the exception OF
Blackcaps, can be planted in the fall.
Mulched tomatoes produce larger
crops than those'th are not mulched.
A little extra work in mellewing the
soil will give larger profit when the
crop is harvested.
Market gardeners are preparing the
land and sowing turnips and lettuce
for the late market.
Those kSds of cabbage which have
firm, close heads are the least injured
by the cabbage worm.
Turlips will produce larger crops
when weeded, but they will do well on
the average ground if not cultivated.
The loss by shrinkage Of vegetables
stored in cellars is very great; some
claim il 10 be as high as forty per
cent.

POOR PASTURES.

Good pasturage is essential 10 sue
cessful dairy farming in most sections
of New England. On large proper
tion of the farms these pastures are
not and very many of them cannot be
cultivated, and, as a consequence, these
that are stocked with COWS are slowly
being depleted of their original fertil-
ity, and brush and weeds take the
place of nutritious grasses.
A short time since the writer passed
through hilly town where sheep rails
ing was formerly the lea ling farming
industry, but after the collapse of the
Merino boom the farmers changed from
sheep raising TO dairying, and for the
past ten or twelve years cheese making
has been their specially. For few
years this line of farming was profit
able. The pastures furnished an abun-
dance of feed, and the cows gave n
good flow of milk with small cost. But
things have changed. Many of tho
pastures now are overgrown with weeds
and bushes, and produce but little
good feed. Farmers are obliged to
buy large quantities of grain to keep
up the flow of milk through the sum-
mer months. The grain bills absorb
the profits and keep the farmers in
financial straits all of the time. The
only practicable way out is to try sheep
raising again for a few years.
Last spring turned flock of sheep
into a pasture that was so overrun with
weeds and daisies as to furnish but
little feed for cattle. To-day not a
weed or a daisy is to be seen, and the
sheep and lambs which are long wooled,
Costwold and Leicester, have done
finely. In two or three years 1 expect
the pasture will be entirely free from
weeds and daisies and ready for cattle
again. A good flock of sheep we'll
cared for should net the owner at least
81. so per head in wool and lambs, and
with special care much more may be
realized; allowing fifty cents per head
for grain would give you a return of
81 per head of cash in hand. In the
town referred to the annual ksXsge
receipts for the milk of the cowh.SSSs
cheese factory is about $50 per COW
and from this must be subtracted the
grain feed. New England Farmer.

PLANTING THE GRAPE.

Experienced grapemen everywhere
urge deep planting and it is q lesson
one must learn sooner or later. We
may think it an absurd thing to plant
a vine a foot and half or two feet
deep, but unless We do we may as well
let grapes alone.
Nearly all planters recommend at
least the former depth, and it is Gus
tom followed in the oldest grape
countries. Not only is it an all but
universal method, but in some of the
Rhine countries all surface roots are
cut of by thrusting the spade down
alongside the vine, so compelling the
plant 10 find It's entire sustenence In
the subsoil.
Without deep and thorough pre-
psrstion of the soil our vines will be
both short lived and unproductive.
Drainage must be secured IL necessary.
for q grape will not endure vet feet,
nor will fertilizing the subsoil be OF
the least use so long ss water remains
in il.
How 10 enrich the whole soil TO the
depth of at least one foot is, in the
vineyard, an important matter. 1t may
possibly be done otherwise, but to pro-
mote . good healthy growth of vine
and fruit, there is to my mind no way ct

THE EXCELLENT LIMA BEAN.

The Lima bean is the best favored
and largest variety of the bean family,
yet it is not raised for the market in
any large quantities on account of the
trouble and expense of getting poles
for them. The villager has to buy
poles for what he plants, and the sum
expended for them often exceeds the
income from the vines. Those farmers
who have timber on their land are gem
orally too busy, or think they are, to
bother with pole beans, SO they plant
some of the bush varieties that are not
half SO good in favor and yield very
poorly. For the benefit of those who
like Lima beans and do not raise them
because of the trouble of providing
with poles, we give the following plan
of trellis, which answers every pur-
pose fully as we'll as the old method:
II they are to be raised on large
scale two heavy posts may be set at in
tervals of forty feet, the full length of
the row, being sure to brace the end
ones. Then plain wire is stretched
from post to post. As the vines are
very heavy, it is best to strengthen ii
by putting two or three pieces of ordi-
nary three-inch board. Then loop a
strand of package twine from the top
wire to the lower one. These twines
should be about sixteen inches apart.
Very little troubl%is experienced in
making the vines follow the wires, and
NO tying is necessary. This trellis will
last many years, and we think it is q
great improvement over the poles. -
