1njudioious Watering Of Horses.

Thousands of horses are foundered
each year by watering after being heated
by work or fast driving. OF course this
is not done Intentionally, but through
carelessness. The trouble is caused by
Introducing cold water into a heated
stomach, and is more liable to occur in
the warm days of early summer when the
atmosphere is warm, but the water is
many degrees colder. If a horse must be
watered when heated, as along the high
way, let him have swallow or two, then
keep him away from the trough for mo-
ment, by which time the little water in
troduced into the stomach has been
raised several degrees, when a half pail
full win do but little harm, especially if
the journey is to be Immediately contin-
ued, If a horse has been subjected to a
long drive or excessive work, before en-
tering the stable a swallow of water
will prove great relief to him, lubrica-
ting the parched throat and allowing
him to eat the dry fodder with some de
gree of comfort, but he should, when
cool be watered before feeding the ration
of grain. If water be warmed enough TO
take the chill off, it can be given in quite
large quantities at any time with but lit
tie danger.=Ex.

Rape for Sheen.

The Ontario Agricultural College grows
quite enthusiastic over the raising of rape
as food for sheep and lambs In Canada
the crop is quite extensively grown, and
it is highly esteemed there by sheep men.
1t comes in so nicely for fall pasturage
when most of the grasses are drying up.
After the small grain has been harvested
is plenty of time to prepare the ground
for the crop. 1t does not do well when
sown very early, as it is not hotweather
plant. The amount of feed that an acre
will produce is surprising TO one who has
never tried it. One acre put in as early as
possible has been know to furnish feed for
two months TO eighteen lambs, but on the
whole the sheep do better if
they also have the run of an
old pasture. In connection with
a little grain it makes fine ration for
fattcning. This is its chief value. The
fall is the best time for fattening animals,
but lack of good pasture is a great draw
back, and here is where rape gets in it's
work Only little of it is wasted by be-
ing trampled into the ground, as the
sheep do not roam promiscuOusly over the
field but eat the crop pretty close as they
90. Besides containing the properties of
the best grasses, rape has other fattening
properties that produce a high rate of
growth and cause it to be spoken of very
highly by Canadian shepherds.

Origin. of the Peach.

Nothing Is now more universally ac-
cepted than that the peach is an i'm
proved variety of the almond The
almond has thin shell around the stone,
which splits open and exposes the stone
when mature. This outer skin has simply
become fleshy in the peach. so that is all
atgives it its specific character. Itseems
now clear from investigation in the his
tory of ancient Babylon, that in their
gardens, now nearly 1000 years ago, the
peach was cultivated then as it is now.
1t must have been many years before
this that the peach was improved
from the almond and this fact
goes to show the great an
tiquity of the fruit. Possibly gardening
in some respects, at least so far as it re-
lates to manyof our cultivated fruits, was
as far advanced six, or perhaps eight or
10000 years back, as it is to-day.
PhRnicians, many thousands of years
ago, as is proved by the records, had in
their gardens almonds, apricots, bananas,
citrons, grapes, olives, peaches and pome-
granates, and even sugar-cane was in OK
tensive cultivation. Certainly this shows
how very far advanced senations were
in garden CULTURE these many years ago.

How to XIII Nut Grass.

Fleming, Ga, Aug. 81 have seen sew
eral inquiries lately for a method of kill
ing nut grass l used to think the only
way to get rid of it was to move off and
leave it, but have found a better method
of treating it, l hadr about one acre of
very rich garden land thoroughly seeded
down with it. l could raise a winter or
early spring crop but it would choke out
any corn or cotton crop ! could plant.
Five years ago ] raised a crop of Irish pO-
tatoes on it, then planted it in corn Be
fore it was large enough to hoe it was a
mass of green nut grass, and to get it out
of the hill pulled up nearly all the corn.
1t was very dry at the time, and by the
time I was through my corn was nearly
all dead, but the grass was doing finely
l concluded TO try heroic treat
ment on it. So l took a Planet (Jr)
cultivator and tore up every blade of
corn and grass in the field, using hoe
around the fences In about four days a
new crop came up. Then l cultivated it
the other way, always in the hot sun. The
fourth time / plowed it deep and I got
another pretty good crop of grass started,
which l cultivated as before. In one
month, think, had sprouted and killed
every vestige of it, as not a stalk has ap-
peared since and it has been planted to
corn or sweet potatoes every year since.
You can take this for what it is worth,
but the only way to get rid of it is to
keep it from seeding, either top or root,
and cultivate and terminate all dormant
seed and kill them by cultivation in the
dry, hot weather of May and June.

Fowls Cannot Thrive ifInsested with

fowls some quite dry ashes, either Of

the. ashes, and a shallow square box two
feetN each way. is to be provided
for this purpose. This may be kept

drive the vermin away. The lice hide in
the joints and cracks Of the roosts, and

How to Make a Small Farm Pay.

Many people think the small farms are
of very little account From my farm of
10 acres 1 get very good returns. 1t is
necessary to figure closely on the feed
required to keep the necessary stock, and
carrots, sweet corn and clover properly
managed will help to do this, Glover es-
pecially should be used wherever possible,
because it does what the smartest chem
ist cannot do, puts portion of the nitro
gen in the air into the soil to be utilized
by the crops that follow. Small fruits are
nearly always satisfactory, although in
some locations the cost of getting them to
market prevents growing more than a
small amount. Black raspberries for eva
porating offer special inducements
With a fair yield of 70 bushels per acre,
which gives about ten pounds of dried
fruit per bushel one man can gather
about ten bushels daily with the harves-
ter The cost of looking over and pre-
pairing them for market after they are
dry is about cent per pound. Numerous
instances are known wnere a single acre
of fruit has yielded return equal to a
years salary of most clerks and artisans
in the city, and this income means double
the amount of conveniences and com
forts that are enjoyed in city life-J E.

Keeping Sweet POTATOES.

I would like to ask a question about
keeping sweet potatoes. AS a rule we
commence setting out slips about the 10th
of May and continue to set out up to June
18th or a little later. In the fall we dig
all at the same time-those set out last as
well as those set out early in the season.
Is this the cause of SO many potatoes rot
ting in the hills2 viii you please give
the last paintings are not ripe and conse-
quently do not keep when banked.
Reply: In tropical countries where
there is no frost to kill the vines, the
sweet potato is a perennial Naturally it
is not an annual A sweet potatoe set
out in June is about as well ripeued on the
first of October before any frost as the
one set out earlier, in May. When the
first slight frost occurs in October it
checks the growth eff the potato and
causes a premature ripening. There is no
reason why those planted last should not
keep just as well as those planted first,
and we have found them to do so. We
have frequently set out potato slips as
late as July, and on one or two occasions
the first week in August, and the potatoes
made kept perfectly. OF course these
were not very large potatoes, but, as
rule, it is the largest potatoes that rot the
worst.
Potatoes should not be dug until the
vines have become dead to within a few
inches of the ground. Digging the pota-
toes in November after the weather has
become cool and digging as soon after a
rain as possible, there is no reason why
they should not keep if banked right. We
have grown many thousands of bushels of
potatoes, and we have never found them
to rot much at any time if they are put
into the hills when fairly moist-moist to
saturatiOn even.
Potatoes will dry rot badly when put
up after a long drought. On such occa-
sions we wet the potatoes after putting
them in the HILL using four to ten buckets
of water Oftentimes to each hill.
a potato put up very dry is almost GER
tain to be affected with dry rot We have
pat up potatoes with the wet sweat stick
ing to them and not half peck in the hill
would decay.

A Great Plant Is Alfalfa.

Alfalfa, the lucern of the southwest,
looks like clover at a distance, but upon
close inspection the leaf is long, tapering
to a point, instead of round like clover
The root grows large, and each year eX-
tends farther down into porous soil. In
some sections. roots extend thirteen feet
or more below the surface, extending in
every direction through the soillike cap
Hilary blood vessels" and with sufficient
water to invigOrate the ground thoroughly
after each cutting about one and one
half to two tons are cut per acre every
thirty days for Ave months of the year.
The Alfalfa is used as a forage crop in
Washington firm March to the latter
part of December. To mich cows it is
claimed no hay can compare with it.
Hogs thrive on it. Bees make their
sweetest honey when they have access to
the blossoms. 1t is fine for sheep. 1t is
excellent food for farm horses. In the
state of Washington 10 tons may be cut
from an acre in a single year About
20 pounds of alfalfa seed is used
per acre; cost ~ cents per pound. Two

CLOVER FOR HOGS.
What Plant is Best for Orchards.

A correspondent who is devoting con-
siderable attention to hogs and apples,
wishes to grow clover for his hogs,
and to grow something in his orchard to
make pasture for the hogs and improve
the soil of the orchard.
There is no better clover for hogs than
the red but to make winter and spring
pasture there is nothing better for an or
binary soil than the Bur- clover that
has given satisfaction to every southern
farmer who has given it fair trial.
If there is no danger of the hogs injur-
ing the fruit trees by roofing around
them they can be allowed TO pasture any
clover grown in the orchard. The clover
should be sown in September or October
and there viii be good pasturage by De-
