FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

No, no! Everybody can't be a good
shepherd; they amt made that way. -
Salt and wood ashes in reach Of hogs
are beneficial. Good for horses also.
Never refuse a good cash offer when
you have anything of the horse kind to
sell.
Many a man is a success as wool
grower and can't tell why to save his
life.
Feed oil and cotton-seed cake. It is
best for sheep, for the farm and for
you.
One thing can be relied upon about
sheep manure-there are no weed seed
in it.
A few short, sharp brushes develop
speed much faster than miles of slow
work.
Have some pasture held in case YOU
need it further on when dry weather
comes.
The neglect given the chicks now
cannot be overcome with good care by
and by.
Make your flock what your wife is
the best, prettiest, and the envy of
everybody.
Health, comfort, neatness are the
things to be sought when building a
poultry house.
Is your experience that cooked or
soaked corn is better than dry, hard
corn for hogs?
Little chicks enjoy fresh water to
drink. Give them some, even though
you provide milk for them.
Soft coal cinders and charcoal from
wood or cobs should be among the zap
petizers'' kept on the hogs bill Of fare
daily.
The aluminium sulky, weighing from
eighteen to twenty-five pounds, is said
to be coming along with the two-minute
trotter.
Minnesota has passed law making
it criminal offense to dock a horses
tail according to the hackney senseless
and cruel fashion.
If you are raising chicks for the eggs
they will lay don't keep the cockerels
till fall, sell them as soon as large
enough for broilers.
Because bright timothy hay and oats
are the best feed for horses it does not
follow that they would not like a change
from it sometimes, or that they would
lot do better for such a change.

An examination of the statistics of
horses, horned cattle, sheep and swine
of the country shows some surprising
things to the American Dairyman.
Placing our population at 5000, 900
we find that there is but one horse for
every four and a small fraction of our
per capita. That there are but a tride
over three-fourths of horned cattle for
every unit of population, while there
are about two-thirds OF sheep for
every person of the population. From
this we can gather the Importance of
the labor of the farmer. Without his
crops we should soon be on the verge
of starvation. With this condition con
fronting Us, civilization would soon
disappear and man become q barbarian
if he did not descend still lower in the
scale of life This should teach us the
Importance and dignity of the farmer :
calling and our absolute dependence on
his labor

THE cows CID.

The cows cud is o quantity Of the
food that is brought up from the first
stomach after the food has been swal-
lowed and the animal is resting and
has time to remasticate it more com
pletely. Between the first and second
stomachs there is receptacle about
five inches long and the size of the
gullet. A portion of the food is pressed
into this part of the gullet and is
brought up into the throat and mouth,
where it is chewed slowly. This food
may be seen ascending the gullet when
the COW is Illuminating. The cud is not
any distinct thing, as some suppose,
that may be lost, but is simply por-
ton of the food which comes from the
stomach in the way described. When
a COW is said to lose her cud, nothing
is lost or dropped, but by reason OF
indigestion the action of the stomach
is suspended, and it is restored as soon
as the trouble is removed by any
simple medicine. The most effective
is dose of a pint of raw linseed oil or
melted lard.--New York Times

ELECTRICITY IN AGRICULTURE.

Attention has recently been directed
to the application of electricity to farm
ing operations, and the designing and
Introduction of suitable dynamo-elec-
trio machinery for this purpose would
no doubt be profitable both to the
manufacturers and the farmers. Early
in 1892, an electric power system was
installed at the farm of the Agricultural
Experiment Station, Auburn, Ala, the
current being brought from the college
laboratory by line three-quarters of
a mile in length, conducted by the stu
dents themselves. A ten horse power
motor was used for ginning and press
ing cotton, thrashing grain, cutting up
feed stuff, etc, and gave entire salts

there is water power, electricity could
be economically generated and used not
only for the above mentioned purposes,
but also to run saws, planning machines,
pumps, lathes, grindstones, cider

Fearful Work of Forest Fires in

Terrific fires swept through the forests Of

Der camp near Lake City were found
The camp was burned, and the fire came so
suddenly that neither men nor stock could be
saved. The live stock, three horses, O COW
and several oxen, were left to perish. and
while mono of the men lived to tell the tale, it
is apparent that they hastily took refuge from
the flames in the well.
The well was shallow and contained COM
paratively little water. and what was sought

CULTIVATION OF WILLOWS.

Inquiries are received concerning
the culture and marketing of willows
for baskets and other goods. Notwith-
standing the basket willow does well III
this country, five-sixths OF the guam
! tity consumed is imported from for
eign countries. 49,
The prevailing opinion that only low
land is suitable for willow cultivation
may be the cause of so little attention
being given to it. Low land is best,
but high land is good. It is certainly
far better than land where there are
staguant pools OF too much water.
For the growth of willows the land
must be treated similar to that in
tended for the planting of corn. It
must be plowed in the fall and loosened
up in the spring. The field must be
kept free Of grass and weeds.
The willow cuttings are planted in
rows twelve inches apart. The rows
should be three feet apart and a cult
GATOR and hand hoe used to keep down
the weeds.
The plants are cuttings from two to
three year old willows which are cut
one foot long, measuring three-eighths
to one-half inch in thickness. With
stick or iron rod holes are made in the
ground and cutting introduced so that
one or two buds remain above the
ground. The first year only a few
sprouts will spring from each cutting.
Every year in March the switches are
cut close to the stem before the sap
shoots into the plants. The switches
are tied in bundles about ten inches in
diameter and placed in two or three
inches of water, remaining there until
the latter part of April until the sap
has risen and small leaves and sprouts
have appeared. This sap loosens the
bark which can be removed very easily
by being drawn through wooden fork
similar to a clothes pin.
Willows must be dried in the open
air. They are then bundled to weigh
about fifty pounds per bundle. About
80, 600 willow cuttings are necessary to
plant an acre. The willow reaches the
greatest production in the third year,
and with proper care and good fertiliz-
ing it will continue to yield good re-
suits for many years.
Dry peeled willows are worth five to
eight cents a pound, and green willows
with the bark on them are worth $14
to SIS per ton.-Farn, Field and Fire

That versatile and Industrious stats
tician, Edward Atkinson, has made a
calculation as regards the bill for our
Civil War" He figures up, as the ex
penditure for war purposes and re-
construction, some $4,000, 900, 900 !;
and as to the probable cost of war, in
money, to the South, of 50, 200, 900, =
900. To these he adds the pension
roll at 81, 800, 100000 and the esti-
mated cost of future pensions, accord
ing to life tables, at about 81, 900, 900, =
900 more. This, together with the in
terest allowance of about $4,000, 900, :
900, swells the total cost of the Civil
War to the sum of So, 600, OO0,O 900.

FERTILIZERS AND Cow-PEAs.

The manner of properly treating and
applying fertilizers IS yearly receiving
more consideration among farmers.
On this subject the Georgia Expert
ment Station tells Southern farmers
that the best results can only be OBJ
tanned from concentrated fertilizers by
using them Oh the best lands, and lot
by scattering them at the rate of 100
Or 200 pounds to the acre over q large,
WORKOUT plantation. Nor should the
mistake be made Of applying large
amounts of concentrated fertilizers on
WORKOUT land. The larger the appli-
cation the more important it becomes
that the land should be in the best pcs
sible condition, such as it would have
been left in by good crop of small
grain, with thorough and deep plow-
ing and narrowing.
The practice of sowing cow-peas is
strongly urged for renovating the soil
and for hay. Nitrogen is the most i'm
portant element of plant food because
it is indispensable to the plant and is
deficient IN all worn or partially ex-
hausted soils. 1t is the most uniformly
effective element Of fertilizer for all
grains, grasses and cotton. While the
most expensive, if bought in the mar
ket, it may be drawn from the air by
cultivating such plants as clover, pea
nuts, vetches, burrclover, lucerne and
especially the cow-pea, which, if prop
erly utilized, will be more valuable to
the Southern farmer than red clover
has been to the farmers of the North
and West. New York World.
