FACTS FOR FARMERS.

u good file can be used to sharpen

CoMMERCIAL fertilizers seem to have
no effect on white grubs. nor doe.
manure. but the latter stimulate,
strawberry plants so as to repair the
damage.
THE care OF stock, feeding, etc, is
often done hurriedly morning and
night, that the other work may re-
ceive more attention. The care of the
stock is quite as important as any
other work.
THERE are many things that may
and should be done in winter, such as
mailing up boards and fences and
buildings, and, in a word, whatever
may be done to save time when the
busy spring comes.

are few weeks old obtain a lar-,
part of their food in this way.
Duck eggs are best hatchel under q
chicken hen. the ducklings should
be kept in pen until they are three
weeks old, wlen they may be put with
the old ducks For the first twenty
four hours they seem drowsy and eat
nothing, after that feed cornmeal
moistened with water or milk. until
they are several weeks old, when they
should have part whole grain. Ducks
may be raised without water to swim
in, if given plenty of fresh water TO
drink, but they grow faster, larger
and are more thrifty, and keep them
selves cleaner if they have access to "A
pond or other good swimming place.
The Pekin duck is the most valuable
variety. They grow very large, MI
ture early, are hardy, good layers, and
have snowwhite plumage. They weigh
from twelve to sixteen pounds per
pair.
Ducks are great layers commencing
in February and continuing until Oc-
tober They are ready for market
when they are six or eight months
old and bring the highest prices when
marketed in July and August. If they
are dry picked the feathers bring from
forty to fifty cents per pound, and if
the down is kept separate from the
feathers it commands high price for
down comfortables and pillows.
The plumage of the white varieties
is easily dyed and can be made into
ornaments for hats. feather trimmings,
fans, etc, and sold at good price.
So the profits on ducks are made In
several different ways. On their bod
les, for the market. their feathers and
down, which always are in demand,
and on the eggs, which sell for a
higher price than hens eggs.
Any woman desiring to increase her
income will find ducks very profitable
and easy to raise. And after giving
them a fair trial will be convinced
that there is twice as much money in
them that there is in chickens, with

On windy days the hens will resort

protects them from the winds. AS
they prefer to be in the open air as
much as possible, the necessity for some
kind of shelter often arises 1t need

HINTS TO FARMERS.

On an acre OF rich, well-cultivated
land, there may be grown FIVE hundred
dollars worth Of berries.
PRESERVE only strong vigorous
plants: give each room to develop and
perfect its fruit. Prune severely.
DAMAGE by ordinary droughts may
be prevented by summer mulch and
frequent cultivation. Severe drought
requires almost constant cultivation
and heavy mulching.
PETER TUMBIEDowN had better let
the fowls into his garden TO eat up the
weed seed there. Come to think of it.
the garden fence is down and the
chickens ate everything but the weeds
early in the season.

the demand for the crisp esculent Is

Formerly the celery season was con-
fined to the winter months, and prices
ranged 50 high that the table of the
rich We're alone decorated with the
graceful stalks. Celery in wild state
is rank, il not noXious. and certainly
unpala table. 1t is plant that only
attains its appetizing perfection after
much labor and watchful care. For
this reason the best celery comes from
the sections of the country settled BY
German gardeners.
The great celery beds OF the nation
are in Michigan. especially in the
vicinity of kalamazoo, where no less
than 100000 acres are devoted ex-
clusively to its culture, A deep, rich.
well-drained soil is required. The

plants reach Il height of two or three,
inches they are taken up and trans.

the conditions were equal. The expert
ment extended from December 5, 1898.
to May Is, 1894
Peas mixed with bran, half and
half by weight, proved to be far
superior to either wheat, corn or bar
ley mixed aud fed in the same manner,
both as to rapid gain and to the
amount required for one pound of
gain.
The wheat mixture comes second,
with corn and barley following in the
order named.
The pea mixture gave gain ofnear-
ly 200 pounds more than the wheat
miXture: 225 pounds more than tie
corn mixture, and 259 pounds more
than the barley mixture:
While the pigs averaged the same
weight, it required SO of a pound
more of the wheat mixture, al pounds
more of the corn mixture, and l. 53
pounds more of the barley mixture TO
produce one pound of gain than of the
pea mixture.
Peas and wheat proved to be excel
lent feed, fed mixed with bran in the
manner described.
Reckoning pork at four cents per
pound, live weight, after deducting
the cost OF the bran at $40 per ton,
wheat fed in this experiment brought
s9.4 cents per bushel, or 81. 40 per hun
dredweight; peas, S1.7O per hundred
weight; corn, 81. 26 per hundredwcight.
and barley, Sl.23 per hundredweight
On the above basis peas should be
worth Is per cent. more than wheat
while corn should be 10 per cent. less.

the gains were only moderately good

1t has hitherto been regarded as an
established fact which could not be
called in question by the most slleptic-
al that each community of bees was
distinguished by its loyalty to one
queen. and that the latter would brook
no rival, the appearance Of another
queen being the signal for battle
royal which only ended in the death
of one or both. These belief, are
now overthrown by an Austrian sci
enlist, Prof. Cater. Of Simmering.

vation. Nay what is still more re-
markable the two monarchs get along

One of the greatest authorities On
agriculture sat for hours at stretch
observing the conduct OF the two
queens. They approached each other
from time TO time without the slight
est antipathy, and on two or three
occasions actually caressed each 9th

quietly and peacefully. followed by
their devoted suites Prof Cater has
just received the first prize for his SEN
sational exhibit. which IS attracting
crowds to the bee show. and the mem.

al societies of Vienna are proud to think
that no such extraordinary spectacle
as this was ever witnessed or recorded

be sent to agricultural societies
