FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

gins to rise.
Medium sized hogs now bring the
largest prices.
The milk is largely affected by the
physical condition of the COW.
1t requires about twenty-five pounds
of milk to make pound of butter.
There is a scarcity of beet sugar
seed in Europe owing to the drought.
The number of sheep killed by dogs
every year is said to exceed 700, 600.
To make dairying success, dairy
man must be a worker and business
man.
Experienced butter makers say that
too much washing spoils the flavor of
butter.
The great food crops of the world
are wheat, corn, oats, rye, rice and
potatoes.
There is good market for trotters
now, but only at prices consistent with
the facts in the case.
Colts in training, if we'll cared for,
grow better and keep in better health
than when running at large.
1t is established that horse whose
individuality is strong enough to
create family type will also fix the
color with great uniformity.
First-class fancy animals, suitable
for driving and carriage horses, sound
and we'll broken, are reported as
scarce and bring good prices.
Prices running well into the thou
sands are no longer given for road
horses unless the speed and other quail
ties are of an exceptional character.
Many trotting horses, owing either
to natural defects of temperament, to
bad training or to imperfect prepara.
tion, are exceedingly difficult to con
troll.
The winter is the time to build the
intended silo, as it can be done with
less interference in other work. Have
the silo ready and complete for crop
of corn next season. A silo soon pays
for itself.
Sloppy food is not advisable as a
continued diet for pigs. Give change
occasionally. The hogs are very par
tial to whole corn, fed dry, and will
eat it from the trough, either shelled
or ON the cob.
Currant and gooseberry cuttings
should be about five or six inches long,
and planted two-thirds their length in
open ground. They will root more
quickly if cut week or two before
using and packed in damp moss. 1t
is well to keep them partially shaded

Runaway Colt in Strange Company.

Three years ago, as related by an
exchange, a colt strayed from the
place of John Hunter, on the Upper
st. John, below the Seven Salmon,
New Brunswick. Several days were
spent in fruitless search for the colt,
and he was given up as probable
prey to the bears Last summer two
moose hunters, while at Round Lake,
on the Allegash, Maine, came upon the
strayed animal, accompanied by two
bull moose. They captured it, built
a raft and RATED it to its owner. 1t
had become wild, and no doubt fra

living with them in their yards in the
severe Aroostook winter. When found
it was sleek, we'll developed and in
good condition, and had grown a coat
of hair of unusual thickness. Lewis

Midair Duel Between AerOnautS.

During the Franco-Prussian war a
blood-curdling duel occurred in mid
air between two aeronauts, one of
whom was conveying dispatches from
the Governor of Paris. The balloons,
approaching at a considerable altitude,
the encounter was commenced with
pistols. For some time neither COM
Blatant could secure the advantage,
but at length one balloon mounted
above the other, and its occupant,
seizing his momentary advantage,
threw his graphing irons on top of
the other balloon. They tore through
the silken fabric as though it had been
so much paper. There was an escape
of gas, shrek and the next minute
both balloon and balloonist lay bat
tered out of recognition upon the
ground 1000 feet below.-London Tit

100 Bus. Wheat From Two Acres.

This remarkable yield was reported by
Frank Close, Minnesota, on two acres of Mar
vel Spring Wheat. Speaking of this wheat,
this new sort takes the cake. 1t is the greatest
cropping spring wheat in the world. Farmers
who tried il the past season believe seventy
five to one hundred bushels can be grown
from one acre, and are going to get this yield
for 1894. At such yield wheat pays at 3)c
bushe. Salzer is the largest grower of vege-
table and farm seed in the world.

year. Only in the newly settled
heavy-timbered land do we now see
rails split for fences. Wire in some
form is almost universally used for
this purpose. The woven wire fenc-
ing which is made in various widths
answers every purpose of fence, but
it is too expensive for general use.
Wire and picket fencing does very
we'll, but it is liable to be broken by
unruly animals, and once a rent is
started it is soon of little use to turn
stock. Barbed wire, which composed
the original wire fences of the West,
is cruel, and many horse has been
ruined by being caught on the sharp,
knife-like points.
There is q way of making wire
fence, however, that is free from the
objections that have been brought
against the others. Plain, smooth
galvanized wire, No. 10 or No. II, may
be stretched tightly, and fastened to
wooden posts, with O single six-inch
board at the top. Instead of the board
common "two by four" spiked to the
posts may be used. From five to seven
wires are needed. according to what it
is desired to fence against. The lat
ter number put four inches apart near
the ground, and farther apart toward
the top of the post will keep hogs,
cattle, sheep or horses within the in
closure. The railing or board at the
top is often used on barbed wire fences,
as the animals can see it more plainly
than they can the wire alone, and
there is less danger of their running
against it. Wire fences of any kind
should be thoroughly braced and very
tightly stretched, or they will soon
sag and get out of shape. New York
Tribune.

WASTE OF GOOD FODDER.

An enormous quantity of corn fodder
is grown each year, but not one-third
of its feeding value is procured.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of
stalks are allowed to stand in the
fields until December or January until
the grain is husked, and then the
cattle are turned in the field to get
what they can. Usually they find
only blades whipped off by the wind
and blown away, and the stalks bent
and the upper part-the best portion
ruined, and even the husks weather.
beaten so as to be of little value.
Such feed as remains is of poor quality.
The greater part of it is rotting on
the ground. There is hardly better
or cheaper stock feed than corn fodder,
yet most farmers treat it rs though it
had little or no value Farmers Guide.

NOTES ON WHEAT.

From field experiments carried on
at the Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, Purdue University, Indiana, re-
ported in Bulletin Is, extending over
ten years, it appears that none of the
varieties of wheat tried have any ten
dency to deteriorate or run out" pro-
vided proper care is exercised. No
wheat proved to be ''rust-proof," but
early wheats were generally less in
jured by rust than later kinds. Eight
pecks of seed per acre gave the best
returns at the station, the average
yield for nine years being 30. 80 bushels
per acre. The best results came from
sowings made not later than Septem-
Der 20. The value of crop rotation in
maintaining yields of grain has been
strongly emphasized, for a compari-
son of rotating crops with constant
grain cropping for seven years showed
an average gain of 81 bushels per
acre in favor of the former. Another
important result obtained was that
wheat may be harvested at any time
from the dough stage to the dead-ripe
condition, without appreciably affect
ing the weight or yield of the grain.
A comparison of the forms of nitrogen
as fertilizers for wheat indicated that
sulphate of ammonia is better than
nitrate of soda or dried blood.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS,
CLEANING CLOVIS.

Gloves that are but slightly soiled
may be easily cleaned by the exercise
of little patience and care. The best
way to do this is to place the glove
upon the hand, wet piece of clean
flannel with benzine, and wipe the
stained part very lightly and care
fully. AS soon as the flannel shows
any discoloration, take new portion.
Do not rub the glove at all, or the
color may be ruined, but wipe it
gently from the tips of the fingers
toward the wrist. The smell of the
cleaning agent will be gone as soon as
the glove is dry.-New York Observer.

was we'll stirred up and allowed to
stand over night, then the next morn
ing the clear water was used freely in

German Army Dogs.

The German army has trained war
dogs. On the march each dog is led
by his master and is required to carry
a heavy pack on his back. Dogs of 3
dark color are preferred, because they
are less visible to the enemy. The
training is pursued on the general
principle that the dog would be treated
very cruelty by an enemy, so that the
creature is taught to creep round the
foe unnoticed and to give distinct
warning of hostile approach without
bringing itself into notice. For in
stance, in the German training pro-
cess, some of the soldiers put on French
and Russian uniforms to represent the
enemy. This arrangement, by the
by, suggests the idea that the Germans
have quite made up their mind whom
they are going to fight when the great
war does come. Chicago 1nter-Ocean.
