American Fiber Plants.

A report on the uncultivated bast
fbers of the United States has been is
sued from the United States department
of agriculture. Among the plants de-
scribed are species found in every Sec
ton of the United States. from Maine
to Florida and from Minnesota to Ari-
iona. Some of them are jute substi-
tutes, while others, if cultivated, would
produce fiber rivaling hemp. There are
five full page illustrations of prominent
species. Over 40 fiber plants are treated
in the report, the history Of 20 forms
being given in full, with statements
regarding past efforts and experiments
toward their utilization. Special chap
tiers are devoted to the milkweed fbers,
okra, cotton stalk fiber, the common
abutilon-known commercially as s'Chi-
ma jute," but growing in the fence cor
ners of every western farm-Colorado
river hemp and MANY others.

Fertilizers For Tobacco.

The Connecticut station has been
testing different fertilizers On tobacco.
There was no marked difference either
in quantity or quality Of the crops re-
sulting from the use of cottonseed meal
and of castor pomace. Increasing the
dose Of either of the above fertili-
zers increased the yield and improved
the quality of the crops. The substitu-
tion of nitrate of soda for part of the
organic nitrogen resulted in the produc-
tion Of inferior tobacco. They grew
their largest crop, 2,O30 pounds of to-
bacco per acre, on plat which had
been treated with commercial fertili-
ger for two years The same amount of
nitrogen in the form Of castor pomace
with ashes gave 1920 pounds Of tobac-
CO per acre as grew ,513 pounds when
the nitrogen was in the form of cotton
seed meal, and that on castor pomace
gave 81 more pounds Of wrappers. Cot
ton hull ashes gave better results in to-
tai crop and in wrappers than any 9TH
err potash salts or than wood ashes, with
the one exception Of double sulphate of
potash and magnesia. A plat fertilized
with $50 pounds OF dry fish, 440 pounds
of nitrate of soda, 720 pounds Of bone
and 800 Of lime per acre was exceeded
in total yield by only two plats and in
yield of wrapper by only four plats

General News and Notes.

The agricultural earnings of the Unit.
ed States, according to Mulhall, are es.
timated at So. $50, 900, 900.
The United States is third in wool
production. Australia leads, with $50,
600, 600 pounds annually; the Argen-
tine Republic is second, with 400, 900,
600 pounds, and this country next, with
300, 900, 900 pounds.
The total crop last year was estimat-
&c by the American Cranberry Growers
association at 425, 900 bushels for New
England. S75, 900 bushels for New Jer-
sey and 100, 600 bushels for the west, a
total of 900, 900 bushels.
The Cincinnati Price Current esti-
mates that the acreage of this year in
the United States is 3,O21, 600 acres less
than last year, and that the crop this
year will be about 443, 600, 600 bushels,
a decrease of %, 200, 900 bushels from
last years crop.
According to Bradstreet's, there will
be less wheat for export from the Unit
ed States during the year ending July
l, 1895, than for several years past.
The fact that wooden silos are being
universally 5Gilt from one end of the
country to the other may be accepted as
pretty conclusive evidence that the
wooden structure has the right of way.

Notes of Local Interest.

Connecticut has announced crusade
against the peach yellows Every orchard
is to be inspected and any infected tree
felled and burned.
For large carons cross Dorking male
with Brahma OR Cochin hens.
Professor Brewster of Yale asserts
that there are more abandoned farms in
Kansas than in New England and that
they are abandoned for better reasons.
Lawns are kept in excellent order by
top dressing of hard wood ashes and
ground bone phosphate.
This year has seen large demand for
rye, and the farmers are coming to feel
that rye rather than wheat is the pay
ing crop to raise.
Some farmers near Boston are using
refuse product called starch water as
food for milk cows and pigs. 1t is a
thin, milky liquid, byproduct of the
Manufacture Of cornstarch.
1t has been found by practical expe-
rience that good wood silo is far more
durable than was once supposed, and
the actual experience of 10 years with
them has shown that they are outlast-
ing the plastered silos and are actually
contesting the grout ones.

WHAT ARE BUFF wYANDoTTes,
These Fowls Have Been Originated In at
Least Three Different Ways.


These Fowls Have Been Originated In Mt
Least Three Different Ways.
The Buff Wyandotte is of much more
recent origin than are the Silver White
and the Golden Wyandottes. They are
recognized, however, as distinct vari-
ETY. by the American Poultry associa-
ton, although recognized authority,
writing to Country Gentleman, says
that purchasers who expect every
chicken reared from Buff Wyandotte
eggs in 1894 to be true to standard de-
scription will assuredly be disappoint-
ed, " The authority quoted tells of three
ways by which these Buff Wyandottes
have been originated:
First-By crossing the Golden Wy
andotte and the Buff Cochin. The Gold
sn Wyandotte itself originated in sew
sral ways-by a cross of the Silver Wy
andotte and the Winnebago, the Silver
Wyandotte and the Buff Cochin, the
Silver Wyandotte and the Partridge Co.
chin and probably also the Silver Wy
andotte and the Black Breasted Red
Game There is therefore, inasmuch as
the Silver Wyandotte had a portion of
Asiatic blood, considerable percent
age of the blood of fowls with feathered
shanks in this strain of the Buff Wv
andotte, and it need not be surprising
to find many chickens with feathered
shanks for some years to come.
Secondly crossing the Golden Wy
andotte and the Rhode Island Red.
Just what the Rhode Island Red has
been produced from no one seems to
know 1t is a fowl of about the size of
the Wyandotte, varying in comb, but
usually single, and OF reddish buff col
or. 1t has never been bred to standard
requirements, but has been developed on
the farms of Rhode Island and vicinity
with but the one thought of producing a
good farm fowl 1t is believed to have
some Cochin blood and some blood of
other breeds in its makeup. The shanks
are for the most part free from feathers.
The Buff Wyandottes from this cross
are scarcely as large as those from the
Cochin cross, but are, as a rule, better
layers and have fewer chickens with
feathers on the shanks.
Thirdly breeding from Golden
Wyandottes only, selecting each year
those which showed the least black
markings This claim has been made by
one or more western breeders, and it is
possible that strain of Bluffs might in
this way be produced.
But every purchaser of a new variety
should not expect to obtain the uniform
ity in chickens that can be had from
long established varieties

Uses of Rarbed Wire Fence.

Barbed wire fence is STEADILY gaining
favor ON its merits of strength, dura-
bility, effectiveness and low cost. The
galvanized wire lasts many years, and
only half as many posts need be used
as with other kinds of fences. When
the ground is so wet that other farm
work cannot be done is a proper time
to build barbed wire fences. At such
time the ground is generally moist and
soft enough to admit of driving the
sharpened posts from the wagon, thus
avoiding the expensive labor of digging
and filling holes. To fence securely
against sheep five smooth wires and one
top barbed wire are needed. Six barbed
wires make good hog fence, but will
not prove absolutely reliable as regards
very small pigs. For cattle and horses
three barbeG wires answer fairly well,
but it will be- more satisfactory if four
strands are used.

DO NOT THRASH EARLY.
Cauttsn Against Undue Haste In Thrashing
Rye, Wheat and Oats.

Kye, wheat ana Oats.
The haste to thrash out grain as soon
as possible after it has been got into
barn or stack is hard to account for,
except from the fact that perambulat-
ing thrashing machine owners are nu-
merous and each anxious to secure as
many good jobs as he can. Occasional
~ some earlier grain is got into barn,
and it is desirable to clear it out and
make room for what is gathered 'oter.
| Even i'll such case it is better to put the
second cutting into well made stack
and leave it to sweat itself dry, as grain
needs to do in order to keep well. Too
early thrashing fills the grain bins
with damp grain. which will heat and
be injured unless carefully managed.
All this extra expense may be saved by
leaving grain in the chaff covering that
nature has provided There will be
some heating of grain in the bundle,
but however damp the straw the chaff
about the head will save the grain from
any serious injury.
There is nothing in the present condi-
ton OF any grain market to cause farm
SA.o w W Al W anu iuul hSu
their rye, wheat or oats. Prices of all
are low and are more likely to advance
than to decline. While the grain and
straw are only partly dried, thrashing
costs more labor in handling and more
power in the thrasher When steam en-
glnes are used, the work will drag, as
1T is not possible to put grain through
fast and get all the grain out of the
head. The coal bill will be larger, and
it will be harder to get extra help need
ed to thrash than it will be a few weeks
later in the season. By that time the
sweating Of the grain on the NOV will
be over, and the grain can be separated
from it's chaff easily and cheaply. 1t can
then be placed in the bin without dan
ger from heating.
The self binder harvesting machines
put up grain much greener than used to
be the case. This is not a reason for
early thrashing, but the reverse. Let it
be granted that the straw under the
bands will sweat considerably; it will
not affect the grain, as the heads are
removed from the center Of the bundle
and guarded by protecting chaff. There
is far less danger Of injury from heat
ing than where grain is drawn direct
from field to thrasher and thence mar
keted. That may be the necessity of far
western farmers who have not barns to
hold either grain in the straw, nor yet
the grain after it has been thrashed and
cleared.
Those who can just as well wait I'M
til November or December before thrash
ing will find that the job costs them
less and that their grain will be in
much better condition.

Crimson Glover In Favor,

Just now crimson clover is coming
into prominence as an annual legumi-
nous crop. This plant thrives on a light
sandy soil and has been highly recon-
mended as green manure. In the mid
die Atlantic states it is sown quite ex-
tensively. Just how far north it can be
profitably raised is not yet decided. If
it will withstand our winters, it will
be of great value as green manure or
mulch. Sown during July or August in
standing crop or in the orchard, it
Will continue TO grow quite late and
gather up the nitrates as they are form
ed in the soil and prevent their escape
by drainage. Further, this plant is able
to take part of its nitrogen from the
air, which is clear profit. It produces
stalks from one to two feet high and
bears flower heads from one and half
to two inches long. Cut at this stage, it
will make excellent hay and quickly
springs up again says The New Eng
land Homestead.
Last season small trial was made Of
it at the hatch station at Amherst,
Mass. Sown in April, it gave three light
crops of hay Sown in August in stand
ing corn, it grew until late in the fall,
completely covering the ground. When
the snow had disappeared by March l,
the clover looked fine, but the long ex-
posture before the spring opened killed
o large proportion of the plants.

FARMING IN NEW ENGLAND.
Progressive Cultivators, With the Aid OF In
tensive Methods, Make 1t Pay.

Progressive Cuitivators, With the Aid OF In
tensive Methods, Make 1t Pay.
in many respects New England agri-
culture is considered as at a disadvm-
tage when compared with that of the
south and west On this point there are
many misconceptions that ought to be
corrected and many false notions that
should be cleared away.
Facts gathered from official sources
will show the fallacy of the popular cry
against eastern farming, and though
comparisons are said to be odious Davis,
in his work ON improving the farm, does
not hesitate to make them III his effort
to prove that farming in New England
pays 1t is made to appear that the
statistics of production show that for
the labor employed no section of the
country excepting only three of the
middle states enjoys larger net re-
turn.
1t is contended that proximity to nu-
merous markets compensates for lower
natural fertility. Contiguity to the sea-
coast renders available large supplies Of
cheap marine fertilizers, and the manu-
featuring villages furnish equivalent
advantages to interior farms, and while
the average yields of crops are thus
made equal to those of the most fertile
portion of the country the prices obtain
ed are greater.
Farming as conducted 25 years ago
is now sure to be failure, but the man
who keeps abreast of the times and
avails himself of progressive methods
need not fear results In word, farm
ing in New Enlgand pays well if con-
Quoted with skill and enterprise, COM
bined with the use of sufficient capital.
1t is unremunerative to those who starve
the soil, decline the use OF improved
implements and labor saving processes
and fail to adapt their crops to soil, sit
uation and circumstances.
Fertilizers and clover and live stock
and silos are important factors on many
eastern farms that are paying profits
today.

CLOSURE.

oHooo"h' them into an in
closure just large enough to accommo-
date them with comfort. Have the in
closures built so one can drive around
all four sides and throw the grain in. In
feeding swill or loose grain to large
herd OF hogs we noted q novel and sue
cessful experiment at a distillery in one
of the southern states. Matted grain
was fed almost exclusively A funnel
shaped inclosure was built as is shown
in this diagram.
Dimensions-Height of fences, four
rails; length of closed end, 10 feet;
width of entrance, 100 feet; length of
sides, 900 feet; capacity, 410 head The
Enclosure should be built larger or small
er, as the herd would require. Troughs
of inah hard wood plank were con-
structed upon the ground on the inside
of fences. Over the top Of troughs and
slantipg inward were heavy plank with
diamond shaped holes the dots in the
illustration representing these holes cut
in the plank 10 inches apart. Two hogs
could not eat from the same hole at
once, for as the hog would root into the
trough the hole would be closed.
The feeders drove team and swill
wagon around the Enclosure with the
feed and threw it in over slanting
plank, as in any ordinary trough, the
eating plank being raised above the
feeding plank. By this method no feed
is wasted. This Enclosure takes more
room than many ordinary ways, but
there is considerable saving in feed. By
making the inclosure funnel shaped the
hogs are easily driven in. This Enclosure
also answers the purpose for feeding
corn in the ear. Stout Stats foot apart
may be- nailed across the feed trough
and used in place of the boards contain
ing theN diamond shaped holes. Care
should be used in distributing the food
at regular intervals in the troughs SO
that each hog would get it's proper share.
