1t would seem as if the extensive
cultivation Of the sunfiower were one
OF the probabilities of the near future
IN American agriculture. The merits
OF this plant as a feeding crop have
been long appreciated in Canada, the
heads being mixed with corn and
other fodder plants in the silo, while
the leaves are gathered as those of
corn, and are found acceptable and
nutritious. The seeds also are valua-
bic, not only as food for fowls but
also for cattle, horses and other stock,
while the roots make excellent fuel.
The product of an acre is from thirty
to eighty and sometimes more bushels

Try to the merits of the sundower has
been caused by the appearance on the

WHEN AND HOW TO FEED.

These are questions that are an
swered in various ways. We will now
compare few of them to see which we
Will accept as our standard, writes p
w. L, Herm, of Indiana.
There is class of farmers that pay
but little attention to their fowls and
only feed them once week, if at all,
giving them all they can eat. They
will have their FIJI, too, if he gives
them a chance. Such farmers spend
the greater part of their time walking
III the garden and fields and say "It
doesn't pay to keep EN-" The hens
roost in the trees, for the hen house, il
there is one, is full of lice and filth.
The hens die OF indigestion The de-
clares it's cholera thought from eating
so much at one time in order to make
up for the long vacations.
We come now to the man who feeds
only once day, that is in winter.
Corn is his only food, too. His fowls
are dying from indigestion anl bowel
disease caused by the fowls eating too
much at time.
A method that is hard to make some
see is mistake is feeding three times
day. They argue that man eats his
three meals day, why not the fowls.
Fowls that are fed three times day
expect to do nothing but eat and
grow fat. They have no reaaons
to exercise, and, of course, lay
few eggs. Let fowls learn to work
for themselves, 1t makes them hustle
about, and their blood circulates more
freely, which is sure to bring eggs
soon. They cannot live on nothing,
nor with no chance to even scratch
for their living.
My way is to feed a half feed in the
morning, warm mash is the best in the
winter, then they still have an appo-
tlte to work OF scratch for half pint of
millet seed or wheat scattered among
some leaves or cut straw on the hen
house floor. What time biddies have
while they hunt for their other half
OF breakfast Such talking, singing,
cack!ing, Hopping, jumping, running,
lighting, picking and scratching you
cannot imagine unless you have seen
it, It's all "hustle," "hurry-up" the
entire day. Exercise seems to be
mere beneficial to fowls than to man.
Just before dark, after the biddies
grow tired of their work, I give them
Il full supper of wheat, corn or buck
wheat, and they 80 to roost contented

PROTECTION AGAINST rRosrs.

This is a vital mutter to fruit grow
crs and truckers, whose seasons labor
and investment may be wiped out by
n single destructive frost. The moro
valuable the crop and the greater the
risk of frost, the moro effort and ex-
penso may be safely put into means
of protecting against frosts. A famous
California orange grove is equipped
with n system OF iron pipes through
which water is conducted to nozzles
at frequent intervals, the idea being
that the spray will ward off light frosts
Barrels of lar and rubbish in different
parts of the orchard arc available for
making a smudge of smoke, which is
the most practicable means yet de-
v;sed. In the case OF freeze, suoh
as visited California two years ago and
Florida last winter, or real hard
flost in other sections, neither OF
these methods is of much avail.
Smoke is good against all light frosts,
and is easily obtained. Strawy ma
nure, leaves, rubbish, etc, should be
piled in the lowest places and about

WAYS OF SERVING PEACHES.

When simply sliced, to be eaten
with sugar and cream, peaches sboulI
be set on ice for short time, but
never sweeteued beforehand, as stand
ing in sugar destroys their delicate
flavor.
Baked peaches are nice, and this is
M excellent way to use those that arc
not quito ripe. Pare and halve the
fruit. Remove the stones and in each
cavity left put piece Of butter and
cover generously with sugar. Set
each half peach on round of but
tered toast, springle with more sugar,
lemon juice and n very little nutmeg.
Bake in the oven for twenty minutes
and serve hot, with cream.
Peach trihe is Il dainty dessert, con.
cocted of nicely peeled and sliced
peaches, two cups OF milk, four table
spoonfuls of sugar, three eggs and n
small stale sponge cake. Make IL
boiled custard of the milk, the yolks
of the eggs and half the sugar. Slice
the cake, lay it III the bottom of q
glass dish and cover with the peaches
we'll sweetened. Beat the whites of
the eggs, with the remaining two
spoonfuls of sugar, to II stiff meriuguo
ana heap lightly on top. All the IN
gradients should be very cold before
they are mixed, and the custard is
poured over the "trilie" when served.
Peach roll has rather rich suet
crust rolled out in long sheet Cut
up the peaches rather fine aud spread
thickly on the paste, sprinkling liber
ally with sugar. Roll up and fold tho
ends over. Then wrap in II strong
cloth, tie closely and steam for two
hours in steamer. 1t is eaten with
either hard or soft sauce.
Cut.np peaches are q delicious al.
dition to nard pudding sauce of butter
and sugar creamed together, and
transform even n plain batter pudding
into = royal Wand.
Peach potpio is merely Il plain pic
crust filled with u deep layer OF sliced
peaches, then layer of sugar and
nutmeg. Cover with It crust and bake
slowly for two or three hours. For
preserving, the best quality of peaches
should be selected and they should
never be either over or undcr-ripe.
White ireeston are the best. Like
other large fruits, too, they should al.
ways be peeled with a silver knife and
thrown Immediately into cold water
to prevent discoloring. When this is
done divide each peach and remove
the stone. Ia porcelain kettle make
syrup of one pound of sugar and
one pint of water for every pound OF
fruit. Drop in the halves and let them
boil Tor twenty minutes Then dip
out and lay on Il large dish. Boil
down the syrup until it isquito thick,
when return the peaches to it and
cook gently until they appear trans
parent. Put up in glass jars and
screw on the covers securely. New

GREEN TOMATO PICKLES.

Take II gallon of green tomatoes,
gathered on II dry day, and carefully
remove the outer skin, slicing the
peeled fruit. For this quantity, take
two and half tablespoonfuls OF
ground mustard, II gill OF mustard
seed, n tablespoonful of powdered
cinnamon, half pound of brown su.
gar, two teaspoonfuls OF cloves and
three pints of vinegar. Divide the
spices into three equal parts, and put
into three small muslin bags. Take
half the quantity of vinegar, aud in it
boil the spices for half an hour. Then
put in the sugar and Stir till thor
oughly melted. Now place n third OF
the sliced tomatoes at the bottom of n
jar, put in one of the spice bags, and
pour third Of the boiled vinegar
over. Then another third OF tomato,
bag and vinegar, till all are arranged.
Then fill the jar with the cold vinegar
till the pickle is covered, using more
than the three pints il necessary,
Cover securely and set away for at
least month before using. A softer
pickle is made il the sliced tomatoes
are boiled with the other ingredients,
but at the sacrifice of some of the
flavor; if this course be pursued a

a helter should not be given too
rich or stimulating food for week
before calving. A pint of oil meal in
thin Cruel given every day for the
week before Will generally prevent
any trouble with the placenta. The
udder must be closely watched, as
heifers are peculiarly liable to inAam-
nation. Should it become unusually
distended, 1t may be necessary to
draw from the teats from one to sew

must be perfomod at regular intervals.
AS soon as possible after calving give
warm bran mash, protect the heifer
from cold aud wet and supply her fre-
quently with moderate amount Of
water from which the chill has been
taken; feed moderately and give flax
seed cruel, warm bran mash or other
laxative food.
Authorities disagree rs to whether
it is best to separate the cow and cali
at once or to leave them together for
the first three days. We prefer the
latter method The ulder at this
time is apt to be infiamed and hard
ened and the sucking of the calf is the
easiest method Of softening and re-
ducing 1t, and the milk is ut this time
unfit for use. III the udder is very
distendcd the COW should be MIXED
Immediately after calving, but il not
it is best to let the calf be the first to
reduce ii.
The COW should be regularly milked
night and morning at the usual time,
so as to remove any milk left by the
calf. This is very important pre-
caution, and any neglect of it might
seriously injure the COW by leaving n
portion to produce Inflammation. 1t
has another great advantage, how
ever. It accustoms the heIfer to hand
milking as we'll rs to sucking, and
when the latter ceases with the re-
moval of the calf the usual per-
formance of breaking is largely
avoided, the milk is not held up or the
pail kicked over, nor is there nearly
such undue exctem ent at the loss Of
her calf, her affections having been
equally divided between her offspring
and the gentle coaXing mixer who
feeds and pets her. The so-called
maternal instinct is simply the desire
to supply nourishment for the young,
and the heifer thus skilfully managed
classes the calf and mixer in the
same category and yields her milk as
freely to one as to the other.
As habits socn become second
nature we cannot be too careful about
those formed by the future COW. One
of the worst is the habit Of shrinking
in the milk as scon as the pastures be-
gin to fall The reason for this in the
beginning is the deficiency of nutri-
ment in the ripening grass. But the
habit once formed by tho heifer will
cling to the COW through succeeding
years even though tho cause be re-
moved by supplying bran or shorts in
addition. We may find this expen-
sive, but as we educate n child to fit
him for his future career without
grudging the cost, SO must we treat
our heifer with view to future rather
than present returns &C. d. Bell, III
