Clearing Brush Land.

A correspondent of the Iowa Home
stead who has been for 40 years trying
different methods to clear brush land has
decided that the best means Of all is to
pasture with Angora goats. The goat,
being a browser, prefers the leaves to
grass He will pass over the nice grass
and go to brush for feed as his prefer
ence. Although he will eat some grass
as condimont or relish, he inclines to
the leaves first and then the grass aft
erward. The goats possess additional
value in their hair, which brings about
as much as the wool of sheep per head.
The meat Of the goat is considered by
some to be as good as that of the sheep,
many of the venison hams or saddles

A Test with Wide Tires.

The following wide tire test was
made at the Ohio state university: An
ordinary wagon, with new inch tire,
was loaded with two long tons, or 4, ,4S0
pounds, and the draft was measured by
dynamometer. On an ordinary earth
road in good condition and hard the
draft was 954 pounds, On grass field
it was 468 pounds. On newly plowed
land it was III pounds AS the draft
power of an ordinary horse of 1000
pounds is 100 pounds, two horses could
draw this load with ease ON an ordinary
road, and l Z tons on grass sod, while
with narrow tire half as much, or a
single ton, is full load for double
team. Besides this the broad tires roll
and level a road, so that the more it is
used the better it becomes, while mar
row tires cut it into uts if at all soft

ChinCh Bug Injection.

In a paper read before the board Of
agriculture Of Kansas Chancellor Snow
Of the University Of Kansas reports his
work during the season Of 1894. 1t will
be remembered that to him is ascribed
the credit Of first introducing fungous
diseases for the destruction of the chinch
bug. Eight thousand packages of the in
fection were sent out direct to individ-
ual farmers in Kansas, Missouri and
Oklahoma. In addition Al auxiliary
distributing stations were established in
as many different counties in Kansas
and Missouri, from which it is esti-
mated that upward Of $4,000 farmers
were supplied. From the reports re.
ceived it would appear that in about 60
per cent Of the cases where infection
was used it proved successful. The sea-
son was very much against the success
full use of the fungus, however, because
of the extreme drought, moisture being
one of the conditions necessary to the
rapid propagation of fungous growth,
either upon vegetation or upon insects.
1t is worthy of note that in the south

chinch bug was particularly destructive

son, the pest scarcely appeared in 1894.
In 1894, for the first time since the
work began, the chinch bug appeared
plentifully in the immediate vicinity of
Lawrence, where the university is 10,
Gated, thus giving an opportunity to dc
extensive field work under precisely the
same conditions as those found on the
farm. The work is fully described in
the report made and was gratifyingly
successful.

TRIMMING HIDES.

The Tanners Trim as Adopted by the
Tanners Hide and Leather Association.
The hide houses are crowded with
country hides which the tanners refuse
to take because they are not properly
trimmed. Tanners, butchers and dealers
iught all strive to improve the condi-
tion of hides and skins for market. With
a view to assisting in this improvement
is here reproduced from the Chicago
Hide and Leather an illustration show

taken off by country butchers, along
with directions for the tanners trim.

ThrashinR Corn.

A Michigan farmer, reporting to The
Home, Farm and Fireside, says: do
not thrash your corn. If you run q
thrasher and have never thrashed corn,
you would better not begin now. Three
years ago there was mania in this Il.
cinity (Portland) among the farmers for
thrashing corn, but they don't thrash
any corn now. The reason is that after
it is thrashed it will not keep. 1t will
heat in spite of all that can be done. ]
thrashed about 200 bushels for myself
four years ago, and part of it heated
and spoiled, Another thing, it is very
hard ON a thrasher, and nothing but an
old machine should be used.
A Wisconsin farmer, writing on the
same subject, said "Corn can be
thrashed by cutting down the concaye
teeth to an inch or little less The
corn must be we'll dried. 1t is better to
stack the fodder and thrash after cold
weather. 1t will thrash ont nearly a,

Potato Tests at the Stations.

In large number of experiments at
10 different stations comparisons have
been made Of methods of cultivating po-
tatoes. Seasons vary SO much that the
results of different methods are continu-
ally contradicting each other. One sea-
son potatoes mulched will yield two or
three times as much as those grown in
the ordinary way, and the next year the
results will be almost the opposite.
In trials where direct comparisons
were made, results from Alabama, Kan
sas and Utah favor fat while Indiana
favors ridge cultivation. Maryland,
New York and Ohio report practical
ly no difference in yield between fiat
and ridge culture. Vermont reports that
in one seasons trial mulching when
four inches high gave better results than
ridging. Results obtained at the stations
in Colorado, Indiala, Michigan and
New York are against mulching. The
general tendency seems to be toward
thorough preparation Of soil and level
culture.
Comparisons Of deep and shallow cul-
tivation have been made at the Michi
gan and Utah stations, with very diff
ferent results. In 40 trials at the Michi-
gan station the yield of marketable tu-
bers was in 40 cases in favor of deep
culture, while in Utah shallow culture
gave greater yield than deep. Results
are so conflicting that no conclusions can
as yet be drawn.
The foregoing is an extract from a
bulletin on potato experiments, issued
from the Illinois station and written by
q. W. McCluer, assistant horticulturist.

Some other points Of Importance may
be mentioned here. Sunburned hides
cause much loss. 1t is believed that this
occurs in the first "a hours after hide
is taken off. If butchers will leave hides
spread out in shade for that time before
hanging up, it may be avoided. Scored,
grubby, fallen and badly branded hides
are more and more avoided by tanners.
In New York all such hides go at one
third off. The western hides will soor
