A WINTERS SPECIAL STUDY.

The progressive farmer plans for
lmprovement in his business. Method
is 4Jund to mark the plans of the sue
cessful man in every calling. The
physician goes away to course of
lectures occasionally to brighten upon
modern discoveries. He accomplishes
most when his few weeks or few
months are devoted to n special sub
Ject. SO 1T is true of the farmer and
breeder, that special application must
be made to some one subject during
his winters reading and investigations
by experiment. if he is to see results
OF substantial worth.
The measure of economy in FEEDING
is ones knowledge, and the broad or
narrow extent of that knowledge. BY
knowledge we do not mean that which
mas been learned from reading, alto
gether. 1t is true, however, that read
ing is always suggestive to fertile
mind, if not always instructive. Faulty
statements discovered in ones reading
and conversation may awaken the
mind to unusually valuable discoveries.
We would urge, therefore, that our
bright friends among farmers and
feeders, will find it to their ADVANTAGE
to read several books AMI different
journals for the next six months. and
that they be not wholly disgusted and
thus driven to abandon reading be-
cause of occasional inaccuracies.
When an impracticable suggestion is
found, effort should arise to urge the
mind to new thought that shall be
an invention Of better way.
Then it would be good thinp to
write out this idea and send il to your
favorite agricultural journal, to be in.
corporated into an editorial item that
will go ont to thousands of fellow far
mers to Tighten their labors, and, per-
haps, to burden their purses.
There are scores, and perhaps hun
dreds, of middle-aged farmers whose
practical experience will enable them.

and critically the agricultural litera-

least two hours or two evenings each
week, for six months, to reading tor

the subject of feeding farm animals.
If one is fattening hogs or cattle it is
the better policy to limit the reading
of the two evenings to this scientific
subject, and search far and wide for
all the help available.
The feeding question involves the
problems of oil meal as a valuable part

SLIPPING THE HELrorRopE.

The hcliotrope when properly man
aged is one of the most constant and
profnse blooming plants among our
winter bloomers. The flowers are
beautiful and dainty, the fragrance
most pleasant, resembling that of
vanilla, few blooms being sufficient
to scent large room. To have a
good supply of bloom during the
winter and spring, begin in the fall
with plant which has been previously
prepared for winter. The plant must
be bushy in form, or it may have
been trained rs n pyramid, or in fan
shape to trellis, or grown in tree
form, but for the best tho bushy
growth is to be preferred. In remov-
ing cuttings partially break the
branches and leave them on the parent
plant Tor day or two; this will cause
them to harden and they may be taken
entirely off and set in earth, giving
them partially sunny position. Wet
the soil thoroughly before putting in
the cuttings, then firm the.earth well
around them. Transplant them into
