PaSturing Sheep.

1t is not best to pasture sheep on the
same fields with cattle and horses. In
the first place their manure scattered
over the ground fouls the grass and
makes it offensive to cows and horses,
and then the closer cropping of sheep is
liable to reduce the grass to such proper
tions that the larger animals will fail to
got their fair share.
Sheep will live and thrive on rough and
bushy lands where milch COWS will not
find fair maintenance, and except when
they can be made useful in the COW pas
lures as weed destroyers it is better to
keep sheep in a field by themselves. In
case of all the grazing animals more
sustenance will be gained from the same
area, where it can be divided into two or
more enclosures, in which the animals can
be pastured alternately.
Sheep, and especially the young of the
flock, may often be allowed to run in a
cornfeld to advantage early in the fall
while the stalks are standing erect and
before the maturing of burrs, which
would stick to their wool. They will eat
the lower blades from the corn stalks
and crop the weeds that may be growing
without injuring the grain, thus cleaning
the field up nicely before the corn is cut
and shocked.-Er.

Club. Root In the Cabbage Tribe.

For many years there has been q sad
complaint among farmers and vegetable
growers Of O disease generally known 90
club root or club foot, and In our grand.
fathers time went by tho aprellation of
auburs, q disease Incidental to the cab
baee and turnip tribe, It 10 fully thirty
years aimee l discovered the cure or pre-.
vention, Since then | have had no
trouble with elub.root ] have noticed
many walls from losses by growers of
these vegetables, and have waited long
enough, I think, TO see who would pub.
lish a remedy, but I have not noticed any
SO far. ....- .-..r, II
The greatest complaint seems to be
among cabbage and caulihower growers.
An insect, weevil, deposits its eggs in
the root or lower part of the stem while
the plant is quite young. These eggs
soon hatch out, the larvR or maggots eat
the bark off around the top or principal
root, thus cutting off the connection be-
tween the root and stem. Still the root
continues to grow, forming a callosity Or
tumor with the substance that nature
intended to nourish the plant; in this
the maggots reveI and increase in num-
Der till the plant finally dies Of the para.
sites. This is club root or "heading IN
the ground ..... - -.
Well, the prevention is so simple and
easy that [ guess many will say they
knew it before, but it is not for these L
write, but for the ones who are crying
out so much for q remedy or help every
summer these many years.
The time to prevent the ravages OF
| this insect is at the time Of sowing the
seed, in preparing the seed-bed. This
seed-bed need not necessarily be rich.
Any good ordinary soil will do, but after
the seed-bed is dug and leveled off good
coating of wool ashes must be spread
over the plot and we'll raked in. Then
proceed to SOW the seeds, either in drills
or beds, which ever is found most con-
venient If manure was applied before
the ground was dug it would help to
keep the ground soft, which is desidera-
lum, but i'll any case these ashes will
cause the plants to form u mass OF roots
that, when pulled up. will hold on to a
ball of earth, or which will be for the
most part ashes, and this mass greatly
assists the growth after transplanting.
These ashes not only prevent the
plants being stung in the seed bed, but
prevent them being bitten afterwards, and
so far as club-root is concerned, no one
need fear any danger from it. This plan
holds good with all the cabbage tribe
Lime, salt and SCOT are all good, but not
effectual. The muriate OF potassium
seems to be the great preventive remedy
in this case, and may give a clue to other
important uses of this salt to agriculture
By the above plan dozen consecutive
crops of cabbage, ETC., may be grown on
the same plot without being attacked by
what is called club root.

IA A Louisiana man says that the
rice crop Of that State this year will be
fully one.half of the crop Of the entire
United States. "Tho raising Of rice" be
says, "has worked wonders for the in.
terest of the State. It has practically
opened up a new industry in the agricul-
tural line, and hundreds Of farmers who
thought their lands valueless when the
cotton gave out now find themselves in
position that will soon place them in one

Removing Tassels From Corn.
Trenton, n. J.

Experiments made at several stations
with removing tasseIs from corn vary as
to results. At the Cornell Station in 1890
q marked increase was observed, while in
1891 there appeared "no marked gain
from removing the tassels and no uni
formity in grain or loss in yield with re-
spect to treated and untreated work. "
Experiments at the Illinois Station prac-
tically showed neither gain or loss in
corn production. At the Kansas Station,
removing the tassels produced a marked
increase, while the same operation per-
formed at the Maryland and Nebraska
Stations resulted in loss. In 1891 at the
Delaware Station removing the tassels
appeared to increase the crop per cent.

The Function of a Bees Sting.

at will be surprise to many readers" "
says an English writer, "to learn that
after all the most important function of
the bees sting is not stinging. l have
long been convinced that the bees put
the finishing touches on their artistic cell
work by the dextrous use of their stings,
and during this final finishing stage of
the process of honey-making the bees
inject minute portion of formic acid
into the honey. This is in reality the
poison Of their sting. This formic acid
gives to honey it's peculiar flavor, and
also imparts to it it's keeping qualities.
The sting is really an exquisitely con-
trived little trowel, with which the bee
finishes off and caps the cells when they
are filled brimful with. honey. While do
ing this the formic acid passes from the
poison bag, exudes, drop by drop, from
the point of the sting, and the beautiful
work is finished"
