Good Ration for = Calf.

A good ration for calf three to six
months old, weighing 200 pounds, if
fed under proper conditions. would be
as follows: Ten pounds of skim milk,
one pound of oats or bran, one of corn
meal and all the clover hay the calves
will eat up clean. If there is super
abundance of skim milk, a large pro-
portion of it and a less proportion of
oran and oats, or none at all of them,
may be fed. If quarter of a pound of
old process oil meal could be substi-
tuted for the oats or bran or added to
them it would be very advantageous
for the meal to be dried and scattered
thin1y over the bottom of rather large
troughs- Watch the development of
the calves ami change quantity and
mixture from time to time so as to Sc
cure strong. healthy growth without
fairness of not less than one-half pound

sURFA cE DRAINAeEN ORCHARD.

This tract of land is usually considered
to bs in need of tile drains. Mr.. Bur-
dette claimed this style of surface
drainage not only to be cheaper than
tile drains, but just as good for his pur-
poses Surely the trees have grown
thriftily, and begun to bear fruit, thus
realizing all the fond expectations of
their planters. The land at each side
of the tree row was planted with a row
of rawberries, kept we'll cultivated
and hoed, and nulched during the win
ter.
The young orchards at Wood banks
are planted on land OF similar charac-
ter. There are some tile drains, but
not sufficient TO carry off the surface
water as promptly as desirable. We
therefore resort to surface drainage,
but on a somewhat different plan,
namely the one shown in Fig. of the
same illustration. We round up the
tree rows by throwing three or four
burrows fron each side against the
trees and then pillow the stri p in the
center, making well-rounded bed.
This has room enough for two rows of
potatoes. cabbages, peas, sweet corn,
or whatever hoed crop we wish to
plant The coarse manure, while the
trees are young; is all applied on the
bed between the rows. The hoed crop
gett the chief benefit of these manure
applications. It does not encroach on
the space which properly belongs to
/ the trees. The vegetables pay for the
cultivation. the use of land, and the
manure, while the trees are making
good growth and are brought TO bear
ing age with little expense.
We have learned to fear the effects
of growing grain in the orchard. 1t is
a bad practice, giving us sickly,
stunted trees. The grain crops rob the
trees not only of the plant foods, but
also of the moisture required for thrifty
growth. With good manuring, either
| by means of stable manure or CONNER
cial fer tilizers. however, we find nc
serious objection to the use of the center
beds in growing millet, rye or oats and
peas for cutting green while the trees
are yet young. American Gardening.

by the MayOr-Papers Read
OMAHA, Neb., March 22--Three hum
bred delegates. representing Nebraska,
Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming,
Missouri and Montana, were present at
the opening session of the interstate
irrigation congress here yesterday. w.
gress to order in brief talk and intro
duced President Moses, who reviewed
the objects OF the convention
After it had been decided to admit
all residents of the arid region to the
convention Mayor Bemis welcomed the
delegates to Omaha President Moses
then delivered an extended address on
irrigation, and Secretary Bristow, of
Kansas, urged the convention to de-
mand from congress a thorough inves-
tigation of the possibilities of the
semi-arid region when properly
watered.
At the afternoon session ex-senator
Warren, of Wyoming, delivesed an adj
dress on the general subject of irriga-
ton. He~said it was too early in ex-
perience to name any particular method
to be pursued. The best results had
been obtained through the develop
ment of small farms until large ones
had been rendered profitable Maj.
Powell, of the United States geo
logical survey, talked of the storm
water storage plan He thought
that this was still in the expert
mental stage In Utah and California,
where it had been tried, it had been
successful He did not think storm
water could be economically stored in
a main channel IL was better to have
| it in lateral basins Prof. Hayes, OF
Kansas, made brief talk on the gen
eral topic, and Donald Campbell. OF
Denver, explained the well water sys
| tenn of irrigation in vogue in India

PROFITS IN SPRAYING.

Summary OF Results Obtained at the Chic

forty-eight gives the following sum-
mary of results of spraying: o
|. The profis to be derived from
spraying orchards often exceeds $50 per
acre, and for Vineyards much more
The fruit crop ofothe state would be
enhanced in value several million dol
lars annually if the practice were gen.
orally followed.
9. Combined fungicides and insecti-
cides are recommended whenever ap-
plicable, because of saving of time; 3
less liability of injurinG foliage; great
er efficiency in some cases, and as a
precautionary measure in Others
5. Dilute Bordeaux mixture, copper
arsenic solution and ammoniacal solu-
ton of copper carbonate are the most
useful fungicides for the treatment of
the diseases herein mentioned, and the
first has the widestsrange of usefulness
of all
4 Early spraying is the key to sue
cess in the use Of fungicides
5. For the plum-curculio and shot
hole fungus as Bordeaux mixture and
Paris green combined, making three or
four applications
1t is not known that this treatment
will prevent the black-knot, but cut
ting away and burning diseased branch
es will accomplish the result

than those free from scab. and spray
ing with fungicides will save at least
fifty per cent of this loss

season of 1892 prevented much of the
early dropping of apples, which is
usually attributed to wet weather.
8. For apples, two applications OF
Bordeaux mixture before blooming are
advised, and two of the same mixture
after blooming. with Paris green added
8. The same treatment is recon-
mended for the pear as for the apple
before blooming, but the copper-arseniC
solution is advised after blooming.
10. The Bordeaux mixture, if used
tool late, causes a russell appearance or
both pears and apples.
IL. The ounce may be treated the

IL. The treatment advised for the
cherry consists in making two or three
applications of paris green-two ounce:

THE REVENUE.

Estimates the Amount the New Tarin
Bill VIII YIeld-Probabiy an Excess
WASHINGTON, March 92-The esti-
mates of the amount of revenue which
the tariff bill reported TO the senate
Tuesday will probably yield show that
the total amount will be about $751;
900, 600. This is reduction of between
SIS, 600, 900 and S14, 600, coo from the esti-
mates in the first bill reported to the
committee The principal reduction
is made in the internal revenue
part of the bill, through the
restoration of the present tax
rates on cigars and cigarettes, which
amounts to a loss of over SO. 600, 600
There will also be an appreciable fall
ing off of the duty on tin plate caused
by changing the duty on that importa
| ton from 1 Ills cents to L cent per
pound The change in the fruit sched-
ule, whereby bananas. pineapples and
cocoanuts are taken from the1utia BILE
list, will make up the other principal
items of loss Bananas are imported
in large quantities, and the imposition
OF duty of 2 cents per pound, as first
| imposed by the committee, would have
produced a revenue of 81, O73, ESQ
The committee found, upon investi-
|
produce more revenue than would be
needed and as bananas are not pro-
duced in this country outside of small
section on the Gulf of Mexico, it was
| decided to restore them to the free list
As the bill stands. if the estimate Is
correct, it will produce at least $50 600,
600 more of revenue than viii be
needed The change made in the
| sugar schedule will not cause a show
| ing in the estimates different from the
! subcommittee bill, as the first esti-
mate was made upon sugar testing 90
deg. fine.
The estimate for the present bill will
probably be upon the same grade OF
sugar. There would, however be 8
! slight difference in actual returns, as
the maximum duty rate under the
present bill is LSS1z per pound a.
against LAO on the subcommittee bill
The difference on this score would be
controlled entirely by the quantity OF
high grade sugar imported
