STAR TEACHERS.

Even as bird sprays many-colored fires,
The plumes of Paradise. the dying light
RAYS through the fevered air in mighty spires
That vanish in the height.
Vanish beyond the stars and further dreams.
The heaven of heavens. Here in my thought
the dome
Flashes about me with familiar CLEANS
OF birthplace and of home.
These myriad eyes that look on me are mine
Wandering beneath them, have found again
The ancient, ample moment. the divine,
The god-root within men.
For this. for this, the lights innumerable
As symbols shine. that we the true light win;
For every star and every deep they fill
Are stars and deeps within.
Heroes and gods beneath them come and go:
Still the heroic, the divine, remain.
Breathing from these the strength that quiets
woe.
With beauty GROWING pain.

HORTICHLTHxE.

Pruning is sometimes deferred until
trees are in leaf, to avoid BLEEDING"
Harm seldom follows this practice, but
it is we'll to remember that it is always
check to vitality and vigor. There are
various varieties Of young apples which
are the better for being pruned while in
leaf. = = Wood growth renders them slow
in bearing, on good soil.
Go among your orchard trees often
enough to perceive their wants. There
is work to be done, peculiar to each
month. Clean up the windfalls now,
and, if the tree is over burdened, gather
and market some of the fruit. This is
the season to gather the brush. briars,
large weeds and robber sprouts for
bonfire.
A full peach tree which is thoroughly
thinned of its fruit will fill as many
baskets at maturity as when left alone,
and the product will be better and more
valuable. The maturing of SO many
seeds is what robs tree Of it's vitality
and is the cause of alternate "off years.
Fruit growing promises good rewa d
in the near future. An increasing ex.
port demand affords market for select
ed products. Evaporation is a recog
nized auxiliary, and affords an outlet for
the surplusage and the defective fruit.
Horticulture is not extending as rapidly
as our increase in population.
Despite the impression to the contrary.
trees dug in the fall and 'heeled in" are
equal to fresh dug trees in the spring.
The flow OF sap is retarded and reduced.
and the wood is ripened and better able
to Withstand the frost. They can be
planted earlier, and for this reason will
have better chance to grow.
1t is more and more generally ad-
mitted that the fall is the better time
for setting out fruit trees. Less press
ure of business enables nurserymen to
get them out in better shape and to
handle them quicker, and the climate is
less tickle. II to be heeled in, do not
leave them exposed to frosts and drying
winds.
When watering plants or trees, re-
member that superficial sprinkling will
start growth of new rootlets near the
surface of the ground which hot sun
may kill easily. Put on sufficient water
to thoroughly soak the ground about
the roots.
re ope wishes to water fresh planted
shrubhery, it is best to have mulch
around it to, prevent the soil from pud.
ling, and little water thus applied will
do more good than double the quantity
without a protection to the ground.
Loose earth after surface cultivation
serves the same purpose.

STOCK.

Grow plenty of corn, but sell it and
buy bran, because corn is not a we'll
balanced feeding ration, especially for
the growing animals. 1t is heating and
fat producing, and does not make good
bone and muscle. At the same price a
pound, half bran and half corn is the
cheapest diet, the best, and very much
the safest.
The horn fly seems to have come to
stay. Any kind of grease or oil rubbed
over the animal. especially about the
head and neck. will keep it from attack.
This is also a preventive of common
flies, which are so exceedingly trouble
some to farm stock of all kinds. Car
bolic acid added will be soothing to the
bites. too.
The best time to change from poor
stock to good is always now. 1t will not
pay to feed dear grain to poor stock.
Prices of stock have advanced, and will
advance more another year. but in all
such rises the best stock makes more
advance than any other, and sooner.
Breed from the best.
Did you cut the weeds out of the pas.
ture before they went to seed? Look
out for the thistles; do not let the seed
mature; cut them early and often. The
pastures are short and dry, and any
weeds will rob the grass. Neglected.
there may be no pasture another year
to rob. The wise man watches the
waste places"
Copperas is considered useful pre-
ventive of stomach worms. While there
are objections to it's being fed with salt.
we believe it advisable because of the
growing prevalence of these worms.
Mix it with the salt fed, in about the
proportion of one pound OF the copperas
to ten of the salt.
We shall be surprised if stockmen do
not this season store up few lessons
which will prove of inestimable value
in the future, as was the case last year.
During the high prices of corn there
will be further demonstration of the
possibilities along the line of carrying
stock through winter on fodder as the
chief ration.
Silage does better for older than for
younger beasts. Inferior grass does not
make good silage; only that of good
quality approaches in value that of roots
and hay for feed. In grass, as hay and
as silage, there is not much difference in
value. Sweet and sour silage seem to
be of about the same worth.
There is certainly large waste of food
when wheat is fed to cattle unground.
Sheep masticate it better, and it more
clearly proves that it is advisable to feed
wheat to sheep. when at selling price
with corn, rather than to either hogs,
horses or cattle. There is yet much
difference of opinion. though, and from
habit corn will be the chief food for
some time to come.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1895-09-14
AGRICULTURE.

The extra effort and management
bring the profit. Average effort brings
the average farmer an average living.
Till, till, till before planting; plant food
is not available if the soil is coarse and
lumpy.
The difference in the cost of growing
good crop and poor one is very slight.
The difference in the final result is often
the wide one between profit and loss. A
little more fertility and little more Gull
tivation turn the loss into profit.
Perhaps barley would be good crop
for some who desire to decrease the
wheat acreage. Barley requires stronger
soil than wheat, and clay land is the
best for it. With equally good soil and
cultivation, it should yield more bushels
an acre than wheat.
Let no farmer buy staples he can raise
himself. He is paying another the profit
that he should have. He should go to
market neither for his garden truck, his
fruit his berries nor his meat; in fact, a
farmer can live almost wholly within
himself if he will, and live on that which
is fresher and better.
Oats can be sown in the fall at the
same time with wheat or rye, and thus
relieve the pressure of spring work.
Sown after corn or potatoes, they cover
and protect that which would otherwise
be barren soil, and the roots prevent
washing. They furnish green food, and
are better for being pastured.
Winter oats stool remarkably; have a
stiff straw, stand up we'll, and seem to
be more productive than sp:ing Gate,
and ripen three weeks earlier. They
grow to dense to make good crop with
which to SOW grass or clover. but come
off in time to SOW crimson clover, for fall
pasture or winter soiling.
A very satisfactory means of prevent
ing loss from the onion maggot is in the
use Of kainit, which has a considerable
insectitude value. It should be applied
about the roots Of the plants, five hun
dred pounds to the acrei or az solution.
one pound to the gallon of water, and
the soil thoroughly wetted.
kerosine emulsion has proved of great
value against the larvae of insects about
growing garden plants, especially the
onion maggot. Make dilution Of two
gallons to the barrel, and soak the ground
we'll; the rains will carry it deeper.
Lands once stocked remain so indefinite
ly, and rotation of crops should follow.
Our best chance for profit is in those
crops we have been accustomed to grow
ing and best know how to cultivate and
handle. The greatest danger in times
of depression is in changes. These
times come at pretty regular intervals.
and can neither be accounted for nor
avoided; they are like stampedes among
cattle.

FARM, GARDEN AND DAIRY.
Instructive Reading for AgricuIturists
PREPARED EXPRESSLY FOR "THE UNIvERsALIsT"
DAIRY.

The advantages from feeding animals
soiling crops over pasturage are that less
land will maintain given number Of
COWS, that the food supply is better reg.
ulated, that animals do not waste their
energies in searching for food, and that
the manure can all be saved and applied
to the soil. 1t is a mistake to have a
falling off in the milk at the time Of
short pasturage.
Cows like variety of food, and will
eat and digest more if they have it.
They should be fed some succulent food
at all times of the year. They should
be fed regularly. If inclined to run
down in flesh because giving so much
milk, they should have carbonaceous
food. like corn meal, to keep them in
condition. They will eat less coarse
food if fed much of that which is con-
centrated, and the cost will be in
creased.
With winter dairy the farmer can
geow cheap foods in the summer and
convert it into high priced butter in the
winter, and find reader market, but
he must have fresh COWS, excellent
shelter and ample food prepared in
season. The best results are procured
by having everything ready in advance.
The Ohio station says that the same
amount OF dry matter fed TO steers has
produced about three times as much
live weight as it produced butter fat
when fed to COWS in the same quantity
and kind. Thus, when a pound of but
ter fat is worth three times as much as
a pound OF live meat, the profits are
about equal, not counting the cost of
butter making.
Good butter can be made even with
the thermometer up in the nineties, but
not IN the cellars nor springhouses as
they are usually kept. There are too
many damp. unclean cracks in them.
Hurry the milk from the stable as quick
~ as possible into clean, dry room.
Set 1t not more than an inch and a half
deep in the pans, and skim as soon as
ready. and put the cream in a cool place,
il you have to lower it into the we'll.
The separator is based upon the prin.
ciples Of economy of labor and economy
of material. 1t lifts the drudgery from
the shoulders of the women folks, and
it solves the problem of transportation
of the milk; and the skim milk is left
in the best possible shape for feeding to.
the calves and other young stock. They
are not cheap, but their advantages.
make them worth their cost.
We cannot but approve the tendency
which is still decidedly in the direction
OF labor-saving farm machinery. and this
is especially notable in the dairy world.
The farm separator is usually run by
treadspower, but "baby" separator is
now being run by steam generated by
and for steam feed cooker.
Feed enough of mixed ration to in
crease the quantity of cows milk, and
the product will be the best she can
give. 1t is now established that an ex-
ira quantity Of nutritious food will not
increase the percentage of butter fats.
Extra quality can be looked for only in
the improvement Of breeds in judicious
selection.
