The most absurd project that ever
emanated from q madman's brain
would, during this memorable year
1885,, have found credulous English
investors. It is difficult, in fact, to
believe that some Of the promoters
were not insane. In Durham, for in.
stance, three railways, all running in
parallel lines. not far apart, were pro-
jected. At Greenwich speculators
were eager to tunnel the park, and,
lest the vandalism should arouse in
dignation, proposed to erect marble
arches adorned with marble busts.
One inventor, confident that wind
was q better motive power than steam,
endeavored to propel his engine by
means of sails; another was certain
that by the aid OF rockets he could
drive locomotive at the rate of one
hundred miles an hour. Even more
delirious was the rush for fortune in
1845-46. The number of projects was
enormous. Lines were, on paper, du-
plicated everywhere, or carried into
the remotest localities. One was ad-
vocated because it passed through a
country celebrated for its genial
climate;" another, because it ran
across ground that had been invaded
by the Danes, and the London and
Exeter was actually thrust upon the
market on the plea that it ran along
the road used by the Romans. 1t is
estimated that $500. 900 per week was
spent in railway advertisements alone.

USES FOR POTATO TOPS,

Since the fungus nature of potato
rot has become known, farmers are
less inclined to draw their potato tops
to the barn yard than they used to be.
No quicker way of spreading the
fungus can be devised than mixing it
with fermenting manure. Neither
should cattle be fed the rotten pota-
toes from the cellar during the winter.
Some Of the worst affected pieces will
be rejected by the COW and be thrown
into the manure pile. The potato
stalks often are affected by the fungus
when it does not reach the potato
tubers. But the potato top has valu-
able manurial properties andit should
not be wasted. 1t is very rich in
potash, and as it rots very quickly, it
makes the best covering for straw
berry plants late in the fall. The
vines will he rotted down early in the
spring, and will not need to be re.
moved. They will furnish sufficient
protection III winter without danger
of smothering the strawberry plants,
and in spring will make a rich mulch
that will help the growth of the berry
crop.--Boston Cultivator.

PREPARING FOR THE WINTER DAIRY.


Don't be guilty OF the carelessness
or unbusiness-like thoughtlessness OF
having cows served now or during the
next three months so they will come
in during the flush of feed and flood
OF milk. Neither cream nor butter
brings so much then, and is really
difficult to dispose Of. If the cows
rest any time, let them rest then
(whlle farm work is driving), and
calve in July, August or September.
Coming in at this time they will give
more milk than they would otherwise
do when milk and all dairy products
are high, and more nearly equalize the
work of the year. Some foolishly
fear it will be impossible to get the
cows with calf if service is delayed,
but this proved to be a fallacy. The
cows condition should be watched
and she should be treated patiently
while in season, but the time when
she is next to calve may be controlled
as most things in business life. Ma
ture calls for ninety per cent. of the
calves in spring, when even a calf will
scarcely sell because there are so many
of them. But the sensible farmer
does not always let nature dominate
He has the market and other artificial
conditions to meet, and must cultivate
fresh cows ut the periods of greatest
profit. New England Homestead.

TIE SMUT PARASITE.

If smutted wheat or oats are sown,
the smut parasite grows up with the
stalks, attacks the forming grain and
causes great loss. Hence if we kill
the smut on the seed before sowing it,
the danger of smut in the crop is i'm.
mensely reduced. To absolutely kill
the smut spores, immerse the seed
grain in water at 1873 degrees f, add
ing hot water as needed to keep up
the heat, but never letting it 60 above
135 degrees or below 1870 degrees.
The immersion must be at least twelve
but not over fifteen minutes, when the
seed muet be at once dipped into cold
water, or cold water poured over it,
then spread out to dry. Professor
Arthur, OF Indiana, recommends a
temperature of 40 degrees when the
seed is put in, renewing it in few
minutes when down to 130 degrees.
This does not injure the seed, as is apt
to be the case with bluestone (sulphate
OF copper) treatment.-American Agri-
culturist.

CATTLE RAISING.

CATTLE RAI6IN0.
In cattle raising much of the profit
depends upon the skill of the feeder
and the maturity of the breed, two
points that were formerly never con-
sidered. Feeding then consisted in
supplying the animal with sufficient
food to keep him alive and to fatten
him if necessary. The quality OF the
food was not generally considered,
nor was there much trouble taken to
find out whether it was q suitable
ration. The question of early ma
turity was never raised, because un-
known, the common stock of the coun-
try always maturing late.
All this is now altered. The various
kinds of feed and the best methods OF
using them have become favorite SUBJ
jects for discussion and disagreement.
while the experiment stations. with
their innumerable tables and formulas
by which to construct "well-balanced
ration" add greatly to the general en-
lightenment and sometimes to the
general bewilderment, for feeding is
not and cannot be an exact science,
because the matter of price is one of
the prime factors in the calculation
how to produce the greatest amount
at the least possible cost. This is just
where the skill of the feeder comes in,
and this is where experience counts.
He has learned the cheapest kinds of
feed in his locality and the proper
tions in which to mix item, and he
knows whether it is best to produce or
purchase them. He has also realized
the value of variety in the feed.
The introduction of the improved
breeds has brought up the question of
early maturity, with which we are all
now familiar. The quicker the stock
can be fitted for market the greater
the profit. Early maturity means the
largest proportion of muscle or lean
meat for the least food eaten, as we'll
as the attainment of this condition at
the earliest possible age. All growth
is made from what is eaten in excess
OF the amount necessary to support
life, and the quicker it reaches the
stage best fitted for food not only will
it have cost less per pound, but it will
have developed the tenderest and the
largest amount of lean meat. These
two factors are the prime considera.
tions of the consumer, and the feeder
who caters to them receives the larg-
est returns for his work. This is SO
we'll recognized that all progressive
cattlemen now feed off as early as pos
sible. New York World.

GOOD HOGS VALUABLE.

It is difficult for some farmers to
appreciate the true value of good hogs
for breeding purposes. This is true
as much in the ranks of the well-to-do
stock feeders as it is among the poorer
grain growers, who tremble to think
of investing cent beyond the intrin.
sic pork value of breeding swine.
In the case of brood SOW, that has
the fattening quality, which all i'm.
proved hogs should have, that trans.
mitted to the offspring furnishes lit,
ter of half dozen with the capacity
of early maturity, the superiority
should be easily noted. The pig that
grows and fattens at $50 days of age
into $50 pounds weight at total oil
food equivalent to but four-fifths oil
the amount fed to an ordinary ''good
pig" is surely worth searching for.
The improved swine OF the country
comprise good proportion of vigor.
Gus feeder and with disposition to ap
propriate their food to their growth
and the storing away of fat as we'll as
flesh.
With right selection, by the exer-
else of proper judgment, the hog
breeders may produce from single
litter of thoroughbred pigs one-fourth
more pork, to say the least, than
from tho same number of the com.
mon sort. The pork, too, sells under
all conditions for. fully one-tenth
more per pound. These results follow,
as rule, tie use of good sire, and
with due diligence in procuring the
best high grade or pure bred dams, q
better showing can be made.
Six litters ordinarily furnish thirty
substantial pigs. On the basis of $50
pounds weight ut eight months, and
one-fifth of this as the result of using
pure bred sire, we should have to
his credit fifty pounds per head, or
for thirty pigs in growth into ma.
turity 1900 pounds additional of pork,
worth ordinarily 81 per hundred in
the farmers yard, thus placing to the
credit OF the improved sire alone $50.
Added to this conservative estimate
the gain which would accrue were
both sire and dams of the highest or
der, and 800 would be q moderate
limit to place on the increased value
of the exercise OF brains, and diligent
care to get the best, and to do the
best in every way on each lot of a
half dozen sows, bred in the modern
methods of wide-awake, thinking
farmers.
OF course, the average farmer will
attain the above results on twice the
number of litters, il he exercises or
nary care. The ordinary increased
value of boar for such results is but
$15. Where sixty mature hogs are
grown from the use of good sire, the
profit on this S25 sire (allowing $40
for commercial value) where but a
speculation of Sl5 is made amounts to
eight times, or on but thirty pigs four
times the sum ventured. The profit
net on tue thirty pigs, S45, will ordi.
narily pay oil the taxes and moro on
the average farm. 1t will also pay for
more than one acre of the average

PICKING AND MARKETING THE OUNCE.

The error of many growers is the
time of picking and the manner of
handling. AS ounces do not blow off
like apples or pears. many growers
pick when convenient and that may be
only after they have become yellow.
An experience of years in growing.
buying and shipping ounces causes
the writer to believe there is right
time to pick that two days before the
time is too early, and two days after
that right time is too late for the good
of the fruit. A little too early, the
fruit is not well colored and it does
not present its best appearance in
market; little too late, especially if
the weather be warm, and it is over
ripe, and it is just then that black
spot, where it exists, gets in its work
rapidly.
People are cautioned, over and over
again to handle fruit carefully, and
this applies more to ounces than to
any other fruit. A slight bruise, from
dropping into the basket or turning
into the barrel, in forty EIGHT hours
has become an ill-looking brown
patch. Slack packing in the barrel is
disastrous, for fruit carelessly put up
this way will hardly bring freight
charges. The moving about of speci-
mems during transit, perhaps for hun
dreds OF miles, is ruination to the
whole package. Another thing TO he
observed is to pack and ship Mt once.
or as soon as they are taken from the
| bushes.
Tho writer's own ounces, while no
better than many others, have for
many years sold for from fifty cents tn
dollar per barrel more than average
ounces on account Of tho care IN pick
ing and packing which made then,

HOUSEHOLD ArrAIRs,
A NEW CANNING APPARATUS.


A new canning apparatus that is
finding much favor with the house.
keepers, and with teachers of cooking,
has fat vessel somewhat like low
tin boz, into which are fitted one, two,
three. or four cylinders, according to
tho size of the apparatus bought.
These cylinders are each provided
with patent cover, with handle.
The fruit is placed at once in the glass
jar. and set inside the cylinder. where
it is cooked by steam. The box in
which the cylinders are placed is filed
with water, and has at the side steam
whistle and combined filter. it is
claimed for the fruit preserved in this
way that tho forcing of the steam into
the contents of the jar, thus driving
out the air, kills all bacteria, and
gives the fruit much moro natural
flavor than that cooked from the bot
tom in an ordinary preserving kettle.
As the fruit is quickly cooked while it
is covered, and is sealed as soon as
cooked. there is no opportunity for it
to lose its aroma. Little time is con-
sumed, as the fruit has only to be
handled once, and in the case Of very
soft fruits they do not lose their shape
by handling several times. Vege-
tables are also easily canned by this
process. and with o better flavor and
more likelihood of keeping than by
the old way. The apparatus can be
used over gas, oil or coal stoves. The
