AGRICULTURAL NEWS
THINGS PERTAINING TO THE
FARM AND HOME.
Too Many "Penny Wise and Pound
Foolish" Farmers Value of Mutton
for the Home Over-Feeding Fowls
a Making Cheese.
Readiney Farmers.

When first commencing business
farmer should be willing to sell his
produce for what It will bring, but in
all cases he should use his utmost en-
deavors to produce the best article.
This he can do to some extent by care
fully experimenting, but to obtain the
highest state Of perfection man must
be a constant and careful reader, thus
adding to his own experience the eX-
perience of others and also receiving
much benefit from the Investigations Of
scientific men like T.. T.. Terry, Galen
Wilson, Waldo Brown and Others who
contribute regularly to the Practical
Farmer. But we often hear from the
farmer the declaration; 1--WE have no
time to read" "Why" Because we
have too much manual labor to do our
selves, and If we should spend any time
in reading, investigation or experiment
ing, we should have to hire more men
and pay more cash for the additional
labor, thereby mourning immediate
financial loss" Quite true; we agree
such appears to be the case, but we also
know the idea Is penny wise and
pound foolish" for by adhering to 1t we
keep in the same old ruts as our fore
fathers. But this we can do no longer,
as the soil has lost much Of Its virgin
fertility, and calls loudly for more en-
llghtened husbandry. We have repeat
edly noticed studious young farmers
who had no better school advantages
and not as good financial starts in life
as many others, who have In q few
years taken honorable situations in our
country and have been the means Of
elevating the agricultural standard Of
the United States and Canada. These
men have been ridiculed as Scientific
farmers" etc, but the hard times Of
the last few years have shown that
these men have shielded themselves
from much of the evil that has fallen
on the other class.
Another noticeable and praiseworthy
feature in favor of the reading farmers
| Is luul luelI uOllleS anu luIluS are lllOlS
| beautiful and more comfortable in all
ways, and If this were the only argu-
ment it should be sufficient to convince
any sane man; but besides this, their
| families are more refined and intelli-
gent and better fitted for higher and
more useful spheres in life. The read
ing farmer also becomes fully convers-
ant with each department of his bust
ness, and does nothing in the dark, a
striking contrast to the non-reader, who
does much at haphazard hoping for the
best results, but not knowing whether
they will be obtained or not. The wis
est, most useful men the world has ever
known have been to a greater or less
extent studious readers, and there Is no
calling in life which demands more
careful study and investigation than
that of farming. Reading will elevate
the farmer from a tired drudge to an
intelligent and respected citizen. Then,
and not until then, will his calling re-
ceive the respect to which it is entitled
for knowledge means power.-R. H.
Canady in Practical Farmer.

Pears for Market.

A writer in the Home Journal gives
list of pears which he regards as OF the
highest promise, when all their faults
and excellent points are taken into ac-
count. In the first place he mentions
those which are least liable to the dead
ly disease-the blight. Tyson and
seckel are named first; next the Angou-
leme, which is rarely affected. Among
the many Angouleme orchards which
we have seen there were as few or
fewer blighted trees than we have seen
of any other kinds. The WINFIELD
would be valuable but for its liability
to this disease; the Bartlett less; the
Anjou still less. Another pear, which
this writer has omitted, has always
been with us remarkably free from
blight. This is the Winter Nelis. This
writer is at loss what kind to plant in
the new orchard which he is about to
commence but rather favors the seckel
above all the rest.
TO assist in his decision we cite him
to q single occurrence, showing the
tickle nature under some conditions. In
an orchard of six hundred trees Of
different varieties, and among them
fifty seckels, these fifty furnished such
an abundant crop eight years ago Of
large and beautiful seckel pears as to
sell in the market for as much money
as all the crop Of the rest Of the orchard.
The past two or three years these same
trees have been hardly worth picking,
and this year not a single specimen has
grown on any of the trees. The treat
ment appears to have had no influence,
for part stands in grass, part are
handsomely cultivated, some are mulch
ed, some freely pruned and others not
pruned at all; but the fruit last year was
alike worthless on all, aud all are now
alike barren.-Baltimor American.

Since milk has been found to be n
favorlte food for microbes as well as
men, the latter have lost some Of their
regard for 1t, Hitherto 1t has been sup
posed that boiling sufficient to steril-
lie it-impaired its digestibillty, but
now the Lancet declares that the fact
is that boiling milk improves its digest
lbillty and nutrient value. DR.. Cha
monln finds that in Paris babies thrive
on it, and that the rate Of mortality
among those thus fed Is considerably
less than among Infants fed on raw
mllk-or that which has been only
warmed and not boiled.

These are hard times, and the tramps
are suffering terribly. A hobo arrested
in Philadelphia the other day was
searched at the police station and the
searchers found on his person four
loaves Of bread, three pounds Of boz
logna, one and one-half pounds Of cof-
fee, two pounds of mutton chops, one
pint Of salt, sixteen breakfast rolls, two
large pieces Of bread and butter, one
razor, one pocketknife, one bar soap,
one looking-glass, one comb, one pipe,
one pound of smoking tobacco and
$3.50 in cash. Wonder what sort Of a
load that fellow would have carried in
times of prosperity?

1t is said that on one of Its previous
trips the Gascogne, in thick weather,
rubbed against the rock near Sicily ISL
ands on which the steamer Schiller
with several hundred passengers was
wrecked several years before. The
ship was saved only by the greatest
energy of the captain and the perfect
working of the engine and rudder,
which swerved its course just rs 1t was
running bow on onto the rock which
was merely visible above the surface
of the water. 1t would seem to be the
duty Of Great Britain to fix up some
thing that would warn the commerce
of the world away from this constant
danger.

Mutton for. the Home.

Whatever may be said of the present
prospects of sheep as commercial ven
ture, there is one aspect of sheep huS-
bandry in relation to which no farmer
can ever make mistake, and that is
the keeping Of a sufficient number of
the right kind of sheep to provide an
abundance of good, wholesome meat for
the use Of his own family. There is no
time like the present for the wide
awake farmer to secure q dozen or
more good sheep Of one of the mutton
breeds, the increase Of which will sup
ply his own table at lower cost and
in more satisfactory way than it can
be done with any of the other domestic
animals. If it is not written that man
shall not live by hog alone it ought to
be, and any farmer who once adopts
as q part of his bill of fare a regular
and frequent use Of good lamb and
mutton Of his own raising will be so
satisfied with the practice that he will
never abandon it. Sheep of the right
kind were never so cheap as now and
the cost of small flock for the purpose
indicated will be almost nominal. AS
compared with other live stock the
Carcasses are small, and there is only
a small part of the year when healthy
family cannot consume lamb, or a
mutton while it is yet fresh, or If this
be too much for them an exchange with
q neighbor is never hard to effect
There is further advantage in this,
that the sheep industry will revive be.
fore a great while and become one of
the most profitable, commercially, in
the not distant future, as 1t has been
In the past. The farmer who retains
or purchases a small flock now will not
only supply himself with good meal
for his own table, but he will be &c
customed to the management of sheer
and when the good times for the COLDER
hoof come again he will be ready
to take hold, not as novice, but as one
having n working knowledge of tho
business. He will, moreover, have {

protlt from Breedinc Slows.

Sow pigs, if of good breed, are
worth much more than their value for
feeding and slaughtering. If they are
managed properly, they will bring two
lltters a year, and increase in value
until they are four or five years old,
and longer still if they do not learn
bad habits. Each litter of pigs repre-
sents value of $40 to 500 as soon as
they begin to drink milk and can be Ia
ken from the SOW. The breeding SOW
need not be fed extensively, except
during the time she is sucking her
young. No kind of stock can be kept
more cheaply and none will turn itself
into money quicker if there is need to
sell it. The breeding sow with pigs
will always sell for more than her val
he to the butcher.

Gov. Isaac P. Gray, of Indiana, was a
man of robust convictions, Of earnest
purpose and forcible speaker. He
was the favorite Republican orator,
next to Oliver p. Morton, while he
remained member of that party.
Some of his philipplcs against the
Democrats were absolutely terrible In
their energy and vituperative power.
When he became a Democrat his zeal,
his earnestness and honesty impelled
him to the use of equally vigorous terms
in denouncing the Republicans, his
former political associates. He never
in all his campaigns since 1872, when
he first took his place in the Democratic
ranks, was charged with terglversa-
ton or inslncerity. His old speeches
were not quoted against him, and he
appeared to have had the respect of the
party which he had abandoned, as well
as of that which he had Joined. AS
minister to Mexico, our nearest neigh
boring nation, he held the most i'm
portant, If not the most digulfed, dip
lomatic position in the United States
service.

M EngIIsh mining circular states that

An English mining circular states that
the gold fields Of Western Australia al
ready proclaimed have an area Of more
than 10000 square miles. This ex-
ceeds by 10000 miles the total area Of
the whole Colony of Victoria, which
has produced about $1,150,000,000
worth of gold. In the words Of Sir
John Forrest, the premier Of the col
ony, "from Kimberly in the north right
through the southern coast there is a
belt of auriferous country" The first
news that Western Australia was rich
in gold has been confirmed by the dis
covery of exceptionally rich deposits in
many parts Of the colony far distant
from each other, but 1t Is now believed
to be established that there are vast
gold-bearing areas in that region which
in extent and richness are not surpass-
ed by any otheron the face Of the globe.
SO there is room to expect further
increase in the annual yield of gold
for the world.

Root Calls ON Nursery Stock.


A new disease appearing in the form
Of nodules or gals on the roots Of APP
pie, peach and other roots has done
considerable injury in various parts
of the country. The gals are of two
kinds, crown gals, appearing in a
bunch usually where the root joins on
the trunk near the surface Of the
ground, and what are called nematode
gals, which consist in thickening Of
the root. In both these forms the APP
pearance is much like the black knot
on plum trees. The nematOde gals
are produced by small worms which
are killed by cold weather. This form
of gall is not much known in the North,
but prevails in some of the Southern
States. The crown gals are known
in Germany, and are believed there to
be due to injuries to the roots by cul-
tivation. As the bark is broken the
sap exudes and makes a home for the
fungus growths If this is the eXplana-
ton, cutting away the gall and apply
ing some antiseptic to the wound
should remedy the evil.-American Cul-

NIistnke In Feeding Fowls.

The greatest mistake in feeding fowls
is in Overlooking. Hens are gorgcd
with food which makes fat instead of
providing those elements which go to
make up the egg. Corn consists al
most wholly of starch and oil, and,
while it is a good food for fattening
fowls, it is one of the worst of all foods
for producing eggs. No one food con-
tains all the needed elements, and a
mixture Of several kinds should be con-

Milking of Cheese.


A most neglected part Of thedomestlc
economy of the farm Is the making of
cheese, says the New York Times.
"Checse should be daily food of far
mer for 1t is the most nutritious, one OF
the most economical, and Is, or may be,
made of what Is frequently waste
product. Six quarts Of skinned milk
rightly managed will give a pound OF
cured cheese at cost of less than two
cents all told, and there Is three and
half times as much nutriment In this
quantity Of cheese as in pound OF
beef from the round, freed from the
bone. American farmers consider
skinned milk rs an undesirable thing
without value, but the total nutrlment
in the whole of it is equivalent to 200
pounds Of the best round Of beef per
head per year for every man, woman
and child in the United States, or 100
pounds per head for every inhabitant
of North America from the Gulf Of
MeXica to the arctic shores. At two
cents a pound all the cheese that might
be made is worth not less than ST.
100000 every year. 1t may thus be
truly said that the wastes of the people
on this continent are. taken all togeth-
er, equivalent to the complete mainten-
ance Of as many persons in Europe
Thismay be saying much as to the pow
erty of the majority of European pop
ulations, but does it not say very
great deal as to the neglect and extray-
agance of our people"

Many English towns dispose OF their
garbage and refuse by cremation, burn
ing 1t under boilers to produce steam
by which electric light machinery Is
run. The utilization Of waste in every
direction is one of the great boops Of
applied science in modern times New
York is expected to do something SEN
sible in this line of reform now that a
civil engineer has been appointed as
head Of the street cleaning department.

An Unusual Fund.

There is a government fund in Italy
for providing marriage portions for
poor young girls. Without dover 1t
would be almost impossible for a girl
to be married, and, this form Of charity
is said to be highly appreciated. Tho
annual sum available for this purpose
and distributed every year among the
marriageable young girls is 100000.
To be recipient it is necessary for the
applicant to prove her good reputation
and character by cloud of witnesses;
to show that she has no means avalla-
bic and that the young man who wishes
to marry her has trade.

spanish Onions.

Onions are often eaten raw with
bread in Spain and Italy. They take
the place of meat among the poorer
classes, to whom meat is altogether
too expensive a luxury. But the Span
ish onions are much milder favored
than any varieties we grow here. The
difference must be in the climate or soil
of Spain, as seed of Spanish onions
grown few years in our climate soon
produces onions that are as strong
iayoy4d as are our native varieties.
