Iron Filings as a Fertilizer.

c.. w Prescott of Highland. who
took the medal for the best box Of pack
cd oranges at the late State circus fair.
has been experimenting with iron fill
ings in his young orchard. Being mas
ter mechanic of the Santa Ec system
in Southern California at San Bernar-
dino, he knew more about iron filings
than lie did about guan0 or any other
fertilizer, and, knowing that q certain
amount Of iron In the soil was essential
to a healthy growth of the tree and the
production OF fruit, he put five pounds
OF this material around each tree, and
as Il result he has q highly colored
orange where before he had a pale col
Ored fruit. The cost is insignificant. A
thousand trees on ten acres will require
5000 pounds Of filings, which cost 81
per ton-S10 for the ten-acre orchard.
OF course, this application of iron is
not intended TO SuperSede all other fer
tiliZers, but simply to supplement them
in order 10 give Il good color to the
fruit and enable the grower to put an
attra ctiye orange on the market, and
incidentally to assist him occasionally

shOpS at San BernardinO can furnish
one ton per day of this material. and

EyaDOrated Armies,

In Wayne County, New York, which

American Cultiyator, something like
million bushels of apples were evap-
grated last year, yielding a product
worth 100000 AS most of this was
from fruit that could not very we'll have
been marketed in any other form. and
some of it probably was just good
enOuShan large enough TO have tempt
ed the growers to try to work it into
the barrels if they could not have util-
lied 1t as they did, and thereby lessen
ed the market value Of the better ap-
pies among which 1t would have been
put. we say blessings Oh the man who
invented the evaporation, and hope to see
them in more common use in New Eng
land soon. They save fruit that would

should not make much cutlery about the

SDrOuted Potatoes.

1t is well known that seed potatoes
which are stored for late planting often
become soft, while much of their nutri-
tive matter is exhausted i'm developing
sprouts which must be broken off IN
planting. The first sprOut is always
the strongest and thriftiest, but 1T Of
ten happens that these sprouts have
to be removed several times before the
potatoes are planted, and each time
some Of the vitality Of the tubers Is
lost. A comparative test was made by
Prof. TAFT at the Michigan Experiment
Station last year, when two equal lots
of potatoes were taken, one being left
In the cellar, the other spread i'm dry.
well-lighted, moderately warm room.
On April 20 both lots were planted side
by side, and the plants from the I'M
sprOuted seed came up first, looked the
best throughout the season, and pro-
duced a greater amount Of potatoes
and greater proportion Of large ones
with fewer ill-shaped tubers. OF course,
1t hardly needed an experiment to dem
onstrate the superiority Of unsprouted

Cost of Productions

''One Of the great points made against
silver, said +. W. Hendricks. a promi-
nent miner of Denver, to the Washing
ton Star, was the cheapness of its
production, it being said that the cost
of producing 81 of that metal was from
30 to 30 cents. Now, if that is any az
gument, it may surprise great many
gold champions to know that the cost
of producing 81, coinage value, in gold.
as taken from reliable data, Is much
below the figures named above. Since
the first of this year it has cost TO OBJ
tain 81 in gold at the independence
mine only 4 cents. for the past two
years at the Victor mine. % 1-3 cents;
the Portland mine. for nine months. in
Guiding heavy development wcrk and
new machinery, 80 cents; the Isabella
mine for 1891. 311a cents Other gold
mines throughout Colorado will about
average with these figures. and / am
stating only absolute facts when | say
that gold is taken from all heavy pro-
ducing mines ut much less cost On the
dollar than silver from any mine that
was ever operated In the State"

COtfOn-Seed Meal.

English farmers have learned to use
cotton-seed meal, and it IS very largely
taking the place that linged meal used
to have. 1t WAS the English demand
for linseed meal for feeding that raised
It's price for many years, so that Ameri-
can feeders could not afford it, The
English farmer feeds meal with roots.
This enables him to use richer meal
than the American feeder can feed with
profit. The English farmer does not
have corn except BY importing it, and
1t IS, therefore. for him not so cheap
feed as 1t is for Us. Nor does the Eng
lish farmer have such large supplies Of
bran. as much of the grain now i'm
ported into England comes iD the form
of -four. Bran is even better than roots
TO give with concentrated foods, like
cotton seed and linseed meal.

Aduiterated Paris Green.

In purchasing paris green for poison
ing potato bugs or other Insects, care
should be taken to secure that which
Is pure. The entire unreliability of
much of the paris green in market leads
to using it In large doses so as to pro-
duce the right effect, and this is fire.
quently injurious to the tender leaves.
With paris green of full standard purity
the amount required to kill insects Is
so small that no injury will result from
its use. When the paris green is used
to destroy fungous grOwthS heavier
doses are required, and lime must be
used with it to prevent injury. But for
both uses the paris green should be
pure, so that those using it may under
stand what results to expect.

Milking on the Ground.

There is a belief among dairymen
that to milk on the ground dries up
the COW. One reason for this is that
milk is not often spilled upon the
ground while milking unless there is
something the matter with it making
1t unfit for use. In such case all the
milk Is not likely to be drawn from
the teat, and that of itself will dry up
the COW. The soothing noise of the
milk going into the pail keeps the cow
quiet and disposes her to give down all
the milk she has. There is q stopping
of this soothing noise when milk is
drawn out upon the ground. The COW
Is very susceptible to the strains Of
music, vocal or instrumental, and the
mixer who can sing while milking will
be able to get all the milk quickest as
sell as to get the largest quantity.

Green Pens Profitable.

Market gardeners find that the pea
crop returns rs large q profit as any
that can be grown so easily. They sell
it while green, and for the very earliest
get very high prices. The pea Is hardy,
and the farmer who has light, warm
SOL has as good a chance as the market
gardener. To give the plant q good
ser6off early some concentrated COM
merrial manure should be put In with
the seed. This will make the green
pea crop several days earlier and on
eari,ness the price mainly depends.
The crop bears shipment well, and far.
mers too far from the city to market
the peas themselves can easily make
arrangements to ship them to some
one who will deal fairly with him.

Riches and Resources,

One afternoon of Il hot summers day;
/, in company with friend. called upon
an old, old lady. Her form was bent
and attenuated, her hair was thin and
white, and her face had that notified
or moldy look one sometimes sees upon
the faces of the aged. Ny first thought
when she came into the room was,
What an unattractive Old lady. but as
the conversation went on | was charm
ed by her sweet voice. the easy flow of
her language and, particularly. by the
graciousness with which she spoke of
everyone. Her eyes began to glow and
a dainty pink, like faded rose leaf,
came in her cheek.
Finally the talk drifted to another
aged lady. Her form was bent and at
lady turned to my friend, saying:
DO you know if she has any re-
sources"
'Oh. yes" answered the friend, ''she
was left with very large property"
a faint, pretty smile went over the
face of the aged one, as she answered:
"Oh, | don't mean money, l mean
resources. Has she an interest in life.
in people, in things? Does she read ?
Does she think? Money or property is
Of use. in that it enables us TO provide
ourselves and dear ones with the ne
cessites. the amenities, and luXurieS Of
life, but when old age and affiiction
comes, and when we lose those near
and dear to us, then money falls short
and our resources must come from a
higher power and from within"
The old face shone as from the light
Of an inward lamp, and as we soon af-
ter took our departure we remarked:
What Il charming woman" and in the
after days how often we thought Of
the difference between riches and re-
sources.

Merits of the lava Fowl.

The Java fowl resembles i'm form that
of the Plymouth Rock. 1t Is, however,
not SO heavily built, says the Indcpen-
dent, nor is its comb like the latter's.
There are three colors among the Javas
black, notified, solid black and solid
white. Javas are good layers, very
good broilers, and by many considered
superior to either the Plymouth Rock
or Brahma fowl; but experience will
more correctly prove this. We find in
nearly all fowls some few points that
we do not fancy The better qualities
overbalancing the inferior should be
the point to aim at in selecting stock
for fancy and practical purposes.

THE FARM AND HOME.
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO FARM
Err AND HOUSEWIFE.
Cattle without Horns Are Much More
Ouiet-Hoeing Is Now Done with the
CuItivator Balanced Ration Will
Prevent Dyspepsia In Hogs.
The Dchorning Question.

In the cattle they are TO handle people
seem to have a leaning of late years to
the idea of no horns. 1t is n conceded
fact that cattle are much more quiet
without horns than with them, says the
Nebraska Farmer 1t is fact, too.
that this disposition to be quiet among
themselves goes long way toward Sc
curing the comfort and good condition
that leads to profit ia the handling or
cattle. This preference for cattle with
the horns off is evidenced in the grow
ing popularity of the hornless breeds
of beef cattle, and also in the DISPOSE
ton to remove the horns from steers
that are to be fed in punches for the
market. We may be allowed to ven
ture the opinion. too, that this new de-
parture would have taken still faster
hold upon feeders in the last few years
if low prices had not cast gloom upon
the feeding industry. With better
prices and better feeling pervadinS
cattle circles. we predict that the de
hornihg practice will receive a new inn
petus The question does not resolve
itself into one of breeds, but into one
of methods only. If it be true that cat
tie do better with their horns off, it has
beer demonstrated to be a thoroughly
practical business transaction to re-
move Them and at small cost, SO that
we may expect to see the practice more
than ever populariZed in the next few
years to come.
