A Merry Nation.

Austrians seem determined to main
tain their reputation for being the
most merry and pleasure-loving ma
ton in Europe, for their parliament
has just rejected, with a considerable
show of indignation, a bill making
drunkenness penal. The opponents of
the measure found no difficulty in
onvincing the house that the estab-
Ished habits of the people were such
that it was impossible to punish this
failing, and that the feasts and family
drinking bouts, which have been GUS
tomary among the population for over
1000 years, cannot be abolished by
law.

New Varieties of Potatoes.


The tubers will sometimes, though
rarely, "sport" and produce different
variety from the one planted, giving
the impression that they will mix in
the hill" The only way to be certain
of producing new varieties is to plant
the real seeds, those found In the fruit
or ''ball," that succeeds the flowers at
the top of the vine. Each seed in ball
may produce a distinct variety. That
wonderful seed ball which contained
the seed from which came the early
rose also produced several other vari-
cites, some of which were good enough
to be propagated. People have been
deferred from trying to raise potatoes
from the seed by the statements In the
books, copied from English writer's,
that the tubers first obtained were very
small, and required several years of
cultivation before their quality could
be ascertained. Mr.. Breese, who was
the fortunate originator of the early
rose, and has had much experience In
raising seedlings, Informed us that he
treated the potato seeds just as he
did those of the tomato, sowing the
seeds in the same manner, and setting
out the plants at the same time. If a
Seeding did not at the end of the first
season show some tubers of an eatable
size, he did not bother with it any far
ther. Some seedsmen offer potato
seeds, but unless it is known what va
riety produced them we should prefer
to wait and secure seed next fall from
known varieties. and thus be sure of
the Dedigree of the seedlings.

EGGS and Cold Weather.


When the farmer throws down corn
and feeds his hens literally he may Sc
cure but q few eggs, as he is then feed
ing for the market and not for eggs.
A fat hen will not lay, and is as unprof-
liable as fat SOW for breeding. What
the hens mostly need is heterogeneous
matter, for they can. If fed any grain
at all, easily provide the yOlk, lime,
phosphoric acid, etc, but the large
amount Of albumen in an egg calls for
more heterogeneous food than is usually
allowed. Some, improperly, ascribe
green food. While some kind of bulky
food (such as clover hay chopped fine
and scalded, as well as cooked potatoes
and turnips) is excellent, yet the de-
sideratum is animal food, and II less
grain be fed, and more meat, either
raw or cooked, there will be more eggs.
Milk and curds are also suitable. but
meat is better than anything else. AS
a pound of meat daily will be sufficient
for dozen hens, and almost any kind
of meat will do, the expense Is a small
matter, compared to the high prices OBJ
tanned for eggs in winter. 1t is not
necessary to feed grain more than once
a day. A morning meal of scalded,
chopped hay, with some kind of animal
food and wheat at night, will give more
eggs, If the hen house is kept warm,
than any other method, and it will be
cheaper than feeding three times a day
on grain. A pan of warm water in the
morning should always be allowed

The Possibilities of Sorghum.

The Possibilities of Sorghum.
The sorghum crop is one that ought
to be more generally grown than it is.
The crushed canes, after all the sweet
ness that can be got out of them is ex.
tracted, make good feed for stock.
Joshua Daniel. Kansas farmer, this
past year made 1SS gallons of syrup
from sorghum grown on six square
rods, less than an acre. The sorghum
also produced fOrtyfour bushels Of
seed, worth 80 cents a bushel. The fOd-
der, syrup and seed from this plat Of
land sold for $73.75. which is more
than most Eastern farmers get from an
acre Of land. There are comparatively
few localities in the Eastern States
where machinery can be found to work
the sorghum into syrup. Such machin-
cry requires that a good many farmers
grow sorghum, so as to keep it employ
ed during the season.-Exchange.

Fall Featuring Winter Grain.
Some of our Western exchanges are
giving opinions about the effect of fall
pasturing winter wheat We have
seen wheat that made too heavy a
growth in the fall, which was material
~ benefited by pasturing with sheep
while the ground was dry and before
the frost had injured the feed. Sheep
are better for this than any other
stock. They are light in proportion to
their feed, and their tramping over
light, porous soil makes it compact.
Then, what they eat off the fall is only
what would be a constant drain on
the root whenever the weather is mild.
The wheat grower wants large growth
in the fall mainly to get a vigorous
root. If the top growth is cut or eaten
off the root is none the worse for the
fact.-American CultivatOr.

to be and a fifth that projects from
the shoulder Of one Of the others. The
fifth leg is Of no more use than would
he q fifth wheel to a wagon. The fifth
leg is also a freak in itself, for 1t has
a double set of hoofs. 1t has attracted
q great deal Of attention among the
farmers, and recently Mr.. Fulcher had
