Feeding Corn Alone to Pigs.

The Illinois experimental station, in
bulletin No. 6, gives the results in tab
ulated form of 16 experiments made in
feeding corn alone to pigs. These ex-
periments were made in nine different
months of the year, and showed excel
lent work. The average of the 16 lots
showed 1111s pounds live weight made
from Sc pounds Of corn; with corn
worth IS cents per bushel this would
make pork cost a trifie over cents per
pound. The poorest results were OBJ
tanned from work done in January,
which showed 6.93 pounds from one
bushel of corn fed to pigs weighing 1oS
pounds each. The next poorest results
were obtained in j une, July and August,
and showed s.2s pounds per bushel Of
corn fed to pigs weighing 20s pounds
each. The third poorest result was in
July, and showed s.66 pounds per bushel
fed to pigs Of 223 pounds weight. The
best work was done in December, and
showed 1851 pounds from one bushel Of
corn. IL.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.


The difference in value between fer
mented and unfermented manure is
very little.
Artichokes can be killed by blowing
them under, after they have begun to
grow well.
If a stranger asks you to sign any
thing, refuse, point to the front gate,
and whistle for the dog.
The Missouri experiment station has
found that tile drains on upland clay
with fair surface drainage have not
thus far given sufficient increase in the
yield of corn, 1mangels and sugar bcets
to warrant the expense of tilling.
Stick to the good, everyday common
sense of the farm, and do not forget
that, while there is a strong city de-
,nand for the genuine article, the brain
crop is one of the most profitable that
can be grown and used on the farm.
It is cheaper and better to get the
struggling stumps and stones out of
the fields than to attempt to work
around them with reaper, mower, cal
tivator or harrow. Many valuable i'm
plements are annually injured needless

nail rough boards, as shown in the cross
secvtion in Fig. 1. This will hold the
heaped-up earth in place till the sod is
applied, and thereafter will give great
firmness to the terrace until nature so
compacts all the materials as to make
slipping impossible, as shown in Fig. 2.
There is shown in this cross-section
an excellent point in applying turf to
terraces. The end of the roll is begun on
the level topof the terrace, and is carried
out over the edge and down the slope,
thus giving no open crack at the upper
edge, where an opening is specially
detrimental to the well-being of ter
race. AS sharp and distinct an edge can
be made in this way as where the open
ing comes at the edge, while the results
of the former practice are far superior.

. KILLING HORN Fr.fEs.
Instructions Furnished by the Director OF
the Indiana Station.

Instructions Furnished by the Director OF
the Indiana Station.
The following bulletin on this sub
ject is issued by the Purdue university
agricultural experiment station: & Il
At this season of the year cattle are
suffering from the persistent biting Of
the horn fly. This fly, which is smaller
than the house fly, congregates in col
onies about the base Of the horns, along
up the back and sides, at tender points
about the TANKS and udder; and on the
belly.
This fly sucks blood from cattle, and
so irritates them as no doubt to retard
the laying Oh Of flesh with beef cattle,
and the production of milk by mich
COWS.
Many substances have been recon-
mended to keep away the flies. The
Mississippi Experiment station recon-
mends two parts cottonseed oil or fish
oil and one part pine tar. This station
applied this mixture to $50 head, at a
total cost for material of $3.50.
Kerosene emulsion has also been used,
spraying it over the cattle with a KNAPP
sack sprayer. The flies are killed by the
emulsion if it touches them. The
emulsion may be made by mixing at the
rate of one pint of soft-soap (or one
fourth pound of hard-soap dissolved in
boiling water) and one pint of kerosene
in IS pints of water, thoroughly whipped
and churned together.
At the Indiana experiment station,
we have tried different substances to
keep away the flies. None of these were
effective over two or three days. We
have tested a preparation called "Shoo
Fly" which answered very well for two
days. The main objection to this is it's
cost, so cents quart, or $3.50 per gal
lon in three, five and ten gallon cans.
One quart will do for one application
on about so animals. We have, how
ever, secured fully as satisfactory re-
suits by using quart of fish oil in which
was mixed about two tablespoonfuls of
crude carbolic acid. Fish oil is 60 cents
per gallon in Lafayette. These liquids
are applied on the body with a fiat paint
brush about four inches wide. Fish
oil is especially disagreeable to flies, and
is probably largely used in the special
preparations sold at high prices. There
is one objection to using any form OF
tar, in that it makes the hair sticky,
which accumulates dirt, and so gives it
a bad appearance.
Stoclxmen would do well to break w
the manure in the pasture whenever
possible, as the flies deposit their eggs
in it, from which the young are devel-
oped. If the manure is gathered up or
broken to pieces within day or SO, and
if remedies to keep off the flies are ap-
piled to the cattle, the insects will dis
appear only in the season.

races. They are an abomination in the
sight Of good landscape gardening; and
as for three terraces, one above an
other-well, words fail me fifty to
characterize such atrocious mutilation
of the "old sod"
In making a single terrace, it is a
somewhat difficult matter to make a
loose bank of earth remain in place
until the sod is applied, and even after
the sod is in place any pressure on the
top of the terrace is likely to cause the
whole upper edge to slip off. To pre-
vent this trouble, drive two or three
rows of stakes along the extent of the
proposed terrace, and to the upper part

ter. The purser, Watson, I had met
at some mess dinners in Calcutta, and
he promised to make things as pleasant
as possible. The captain, whose name
was, We'll say, John Smith, looked like
one of the regular navy. He wore a uni

of aspect and stiff in bearing.
We soldiers were seated at table in

boards eight inches wide. The last
one is eight feet long, with the other
two to correspond. These are nailed
to the poles. At are holes in which
stakes are placed to prevent fodder or
brush slipping off. The upper ends of
the poles are placed on the bolster of
the wagon; the lower drag OH the
ground. A coupling pole runs from the
axle to the crosspiece, c. This attaches
the fodder drag securely to the wagon
and permits of turning, etc. The fig.
ure shows the drag in position as seen
from above. AS no iron work is neces.
sary, any farmer can easily construct
one himself. The illustration renders
it's building perfectly easy. The drag
is not only useful in hauling fodder,
but comes handy in disposing of brush
or any bulky material which is difficult
to load upon wagons. A variation of
this device, made especially for load
