GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

POULTRY for the plum and hogs for
the apple orchard.
TREES should never crowd one an
other in the orchard.
MAKE the garden long enough to
work handily with team.
In pruning remember that diseased
wood will never become sound.
ANNUAL manuring of the orchard
will help in securing annual crops Of
fruit.
A TREE that has plenty of room to
grow naturally needs very little trim
ming.
If a tree makes slow growth it is
advisable to cut back the shoots lit
tie in the spring.
SUNLIGHT is absolutely necessary to
the health and growth of the tree and
the production of good fruit.
IT is mistake to set trees in or
around the garden. The vegetables
need all light and sunshine possible.
INJURY from borers can be prevented
to some extent by placing mound of
coal ashes around the stem of the trees.
AFTER pruning the grape gather up
all the prunings, old decayed leaves
and other rubbish in the vineyard and
burn them.
MORE benefit will be derived from
burying bones near grape vines, If care
Is taken to break them up fine before
putting them in the ground.

propagating currants is by using wood

ment to the cows, but at the best they
are not wholly comfortable, and to do
her best dairy cow must at all times
be comfortable. There is another plan
which is shown in the accompanying
illustration. The cows are hitched
with chains that slide up and down
upon q rod, two cows in each wide
stall, or one in a narrow stall as
preferred There is a solid partition
between the stalls and the cribs,
a hinged door admitting the head
of each COW to her crib at feeding
time. When the ration has been eaten
the doors are closed and buttoned,
which forces the cows to stand back
until their hind feet come to the edge
of the gutter, and to lie down also in
that situation. When the doors are
closed any manure that has fallen
upon the platform while the cows
have been standing ahead feeding is
scraped into the gutter, and the cows
left until the next feeding.
Where the manure cellar is under
the cattle it will be found most con-
venient to have the manure traps in
the raised walk, as shown, rather than
in the bottom of the gutter, where
they are buried beneath the manure
and filthy to handle. Handy shelves
that are hinged and folded against the
wall when not in use are shown at the
rear of the raised walk. The doors
admitting the cows heads to the cribs
in front will be found exceedingly
convenient when feeding grain, roots
or ensilage. One can then put the
ration in the crib without molestation
from the horns or nose of the animal,
eager to get at its breakfast or dinner.
The door can then be unbuttoned and
allowed to swing in against the side
of the crib, when the COW can come
forward and eat. The CRIB can be
made to fold down against the outside
of the partition if more room is desired
at any time in the feeding floor

A New and Excellent Device for Agitat-
Ing Spraying Compounds.


Ing Spraying Compounds.
The great difficulty which we all
have in keeping spraying liquids in
suspension has led me to experiment
on an automatic agitator, with the re-
suit that think have made one that
will keep any liquid, fungicide or in
secticide thoroughly agitated. This
contrivance, shown in the cut, is made
for use with the barrel lying on its
side, which we consider the best way
to carry it, and consists of an arm (a)
of fat iron one-eighth inch thick and
seen-eighths inch wide, attached to the
handle OF the pump and entering the
barrel about six or eight inches from
its head. This arm is attached to an
elbow (b), with arms six inches in
length. which is fastened into a socket
about four inches in length, that is
bolted to the head of the barrel at
(c). At the lower end of the elbow is
attached a short arm (d), which is
joined to the long arm that carries the
dashers or agitators (e). This joipt is
necessary in order that the dashers
may lie on the bottom of the barrel,
and not be lifted up at every stroke of
the pump. With the movement of the

interfere with the use of the hay fork
1t can be made as high and as long as
needed.
For a dairy of 20 cows make it
60 feet long, "a feet wide and 10 feet
high. The lean-to for cows is on the
south side and has a floor. The main
part is for hay and is "a feet wide and has
no floor. The posts are 2x6 and placed
8 feet apart. The rafters are 2x6 and
feet apart. Braces are Exc and reach
from post to rafter, being 12 feet
apart The ties from brace to post and
rafter are pieces of fence board. Such
a frame is stiff beyond the belief of
one who never saw one. The side of
the hay barn next to the cows Is not
boarded up. This gives a chance TO
throw hay or fodder down in front of
the manger the whole length. As this
would leave it cold for cattle in severe
weather, partition runs from the back
of the manger to the roof of the COW
barn, provided with drop doors just
above the manger, which are closed in
cold weather Less lumber is required
to board this way and hay can be
thrown into the passage at any point.
The haymow is divided into 10 foot Sec
tions which can all be filed at once, or
one or more at time. This gives
chance to grade hay, clover in one sec
ton, mixed hay in another, oats, corn
fodder or millet in another as desired
A steel track runs the whole length of
the barn under the peak and the horse
fork will dump where desired. Being
but "a feet wide, it is easy work to
move the hay from center to sides

THE PLEBEIAN PEANUT.
II Plays . Useful Part in the Economy OF
Man and Beast.


Man and Beast.
The plebeian peanut, which rejoices
In such other homely names as earth
NUT groundnut, ground pea, goober
and pindar, has assumed new dignity,
having recently been honored as
the subject of a special report by
one of the experiment officers of the
national department of agriculture.
The report corrects some prevalent
mistakes as to this little article of con-
sumption, gives astonishing statistics
as to its value as food product. and
presents many interesting facts as to
its uses.
1t is pleasant to be informed, first of
all, that the peanut Is not nut at all,
but pea, and that Its shell is not
shell, buta pod. It's also we'll to know
that while cotton, Indian corn, pota-
toes and tobacco have usually been
considered the four plants of CONNER
cial Importance which America has
given to the world, the peanut must
be added, as the weight of authority
fixes its birthplace in Brazil. The
crop has become of primary impor-
lance since 1866, and Virginia, North
Carolina and Tennessee produce the
largest part of it. There are seven
varieties cultivated some of them bunch
and some running vines. The yield
OF this underground pea is astonishing,
and the amount consumed is a testi-
monial to its popularity. The yearly
production here is about 100000
bushels of % pounds, which supply the
present demand in this country. This,
however, is but a small portion of the
worlds crop. The expectation from
Africa and India to Europe In 1892
amounted to nearly 100000, 900 pounds.
The crop of the world may be safely
estimated at 100000 600 pounds.
The value of the homely little ground
pea, however, becomes especially APP
parent when its uses are considered.
1t is sorted in the factory into four
grades, the first, second and third be-
Ing sold to vendors Of the roasted pea
nut, either directly or through jobbing
houses. The fourth grade is sold to
confectioners, and after their manipu-
lation reappears as peanut candy,
burnt almonds and in cheaper grades
OF chocolates. The report says in this
connection: THE extent of the use of
the peanut by the American people
will be more fully appreciated when it
is remembered that they use 100000
bushels of nuts yearly lat cost to the
consumers of $lo,OOO,OO0, which do not
form part of the regular articles of
food but are eaten at odd times" The
planter uses the nut as fattener for his
hogs and the vine as peanut hay for
his stock, and the feeding value is in
creased when some of the nuts are
cured and fed with the hay. Millions
OF bushels are used in the old world
for the production of oil, which is
regarded as equal to olive oil. In fact.
great quantities are used, unknown to
the consumer, instead of the latter.

pounds year for the making of al

convict labor in road building. In
regions where rock is plenty, by using

and employing convicts only in quarry
ing and handling, an amount Of
material could be produced sufficient
to macadamize all the roads in the
state as fast as they could be prepared

ward and forward over the entire bot
tom of the barrel, thus keeping the
liquid in constant motion. In order
that the liquid that may have settled
on the bottom may be stirred thorough
ly before starting the pump, the arm
(d) is fitted to the pump handle by a
slot ", SO that it may be quickly
slipped off and worked upward and
downward few times before begin

All the parts are made of fat iron
one-eighth inch thick by three-fourths
inch wide, and can be made by one
having facilities for cutting such iron

The parts are held together by short
stove bolts. The dashers are fastened
to the rod by screw passing through
it.
In the adjustment of this apparatus
to the barrel, the pump must be
brought near enough to the end of the
barrel to allow of the full sweep of the
pumphandle, and the rod, (a) fixed to
the handle so as to give full sweep to

carried forward and backward to their
fullest extent. We have tested this
agitator as far as 1t is possible at this
season of the year, and feel that, if
properly adjusted, 1t will be entirely
satisfactory. No patent has been APP
piled for on this appliance, though we
think this special form originated with

weather comes solution Of copper
sulphate (blue vitrioD can be used as
strong as one pound to 25 or 80 gallons
of water. This copper sulphate is very
cheap now, and one can afford to use
1t literally, and the trees ground
should be pretty well drenched with
them, and the form of sprayer should
be such as will throw a stream against
the body and branches Of the trees
with sufficient force to penetrate the
crevices in the bark and wet the whole
surface. If this is done millions Of
spores that are only waiting for favor

growth will be killed and much after
work will be saved.
Later In the season the nozzle of the
sprayer should be one that produces q
fine mist, as it is not we'll to get too
much of the solution on the leaves.
The object should be to cover the whole

possible.

SUCCESSFUL SPRAYING.

Fungous diseases of several kinds
have spread all over the country, and,
unless checked, destroy the fruits of
apple, peach, pear, plum and cherry
trees and of vines and berry bushes.
These diseases can be checked, and
their effects destroyed, by thorough
spraying. This has been proved be-
yond a doubt, and the only question
now is how to do the work in the most
thorough manner. I believe we have
not been in the habit of beginning
soon enough in this matter. No doubt
the scab, blight and other forms of
fungous disease begin to develop very
early In the season, and are at work
long before they make any visible
signs. 1t is my opinion, and my ex-
perience last year confirms me in hold
ing it, that the best time to begin is
before there is any sign of disease
