fer to make the floors slant toward the
trough. Twice the profit can be made
when the animals lie dry all the while,
and besides that their health is much
better. Then the feeding trough
should have its holding capacity in
length and not in depth. It pays to
have them fed with good, clean feed,
which means the difference between
profit and loss. They will take the
waste from the table. 1t does not do,
as is usually the case, to have it put
into a tub or barrel which is never
cleaned. That becomes poison. It
ferments and sours and makes bad
blood. With the SOW and young pigs
taking it, the consequence is they die
before ten days old. and even little
pigs have the right TO be well born.
Hogs fed on clean food should gain at
least one pound for every four and
half pounds of grain used; man can
tell whether it is paying to keep them
or put his labor to other sources of
profit. If any man fee IS his hogs too
long it costs more than he can make
out of them.-Western Agricultural.

CLUB ROOT OF CABBAGE.

The club root of cabbage and the
several plants of the cabbage family
is we'll known and dreaded disease
among Eastern farmers and gardeners.
But, while more prevalent in the East
ern portion of the country, it is also
known in the West and South, causing
often heavy losses.
A bulletin issued from the New
Jersey Agricultural Experiment
Station gives in detail the results of
experiments and Investigations made
on the station grounds and elsewhere,
with a view to assisting farmers in
fighting the club root. Many of the
facts contained in this bulletin are of
general interest to the cultivators of
cabbage, turnips, kale, etc.
Briefly stated, the malady is due to
a microscopic parasite which infests
the cells of the roots, causing them to
become swollen and distorted. The
spores of the fungus, upon the decay
of the part affected, become scat
tered through the soil, and from
thence the enemy enters the host
plant. The club root infests several
plants of the cabbage family, includ-
ing turnip, kale, radish, stock and
candytuft. Two common weeds
namely, shepherds purse and hedge
mustard-sre now to be added to the
list of plants infested with club root.
Preventive measures must be relied
upon, for the affected parts of plant
are below ground and not readily
reached by any fungicide. If the
crop is diseased all refuse at harvest
time of roots, stems and leaves should
be burned. All seedlings from hot
beds with signs of club root should de-
stroyed, and, if possible, use only plants
from beds in which there is no disease.
Cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts,
kohlrabi, turnips or radishes should
not follow each other on the same
land if club root is prevalent. Lime
added to the land, seventy-fve bushels
per acre, has proved effective. 1t is
possible that some commercial
fertilizers may be found to check the
trouble. Keep the land free from
shepherds purse and hedge mustard
and other weeds of the same family,
as their roots become "clubbed" and
thereby propagate the enemy.--New
England Farmer.

HINTS FOR YOUR GARDEN.

White clover and bluegrass make
the best mixture for a lawn.
Buy plants of hardy perennials.
Most of them are difficult to grow
from seed.
Prune your trees now and the wound
will be quickly healed by the running
sap.
Make definite plan for your gar
den. Don't put in everything heller
skelter.
Get practical florist advice if you
try roses; this is a hard climate to
grow them in.
Hollyhocks do best when treated as
biennials. They are less able to stand
our severe climate after Towering.
The bridal wreath is pretty shrub,
whether in flower or leaf. Don't prune
it and the slender branches will droop
gracefully with the weight of their
white foliage.
Double petunias are beautiful flow
ers and delightfully."- fragrant. Buy a
few plants, as the seed is expensive
and uncertain about growing. Single
petunies, which are also very pretty,
grow from seed like weed. New
York Advertiser.

TO PREVENT TREES LEANING.

Those who have trees which have
been set one or two seasons will do
we'll to bear in mind the Importance of
stalking them SO that they will resist
the influence of the most frequently
prevailing or heaviest winds. Those
which have been set two years need it
as much as those which were put out
last spring, as they are likely to pre-
sent as much surface to the wind as
they have roots IN the earth. Put
down a stout stake few feet from the
trunk, and then put on withe or a
strip of cloth, binding the tree to the
stake in the form of figure s, so that
the crossing of the band will prevent
any chatting of the tree-trunk against
the stake. In this way can be pre-
vented the spectacle SO often seen of
whole orchards leaning over, showing
definitely the direction of the prevail
ing winds. If you want to have your
orchard permanent keep your trees up
straight from the start.-Rural Life.

DOUGLASS MIXTURE. "

The solution known as Douglas
Mixture" and SO much in favor among
English poultrymen as tonic, is
made by putting eight ounces of sui
phate of iron (also known as green
vitriol and copperas) into jug with
two gallons of water and adding one
ounce of sulphuric acid. This is to be
put into the drinking water of the
fowls in the proportion of teaspoon
full to each pint. This mixture should
be made and kept in stone jug or
glass bottle. and never in a metal YES
sci. SO soon as any disease breaks
out among poultry this should be
given to the healthy, to enable them
to resist it, together with more nu-
trltious and easily digestible food
