GENERAL FARM NOTES.

It is wasteful to feed whole wheat to
swine.
Bran is IN excellent feed for COWS and
horses.
Give the cow bran mash directly
after calving.
The English potato crop is large and
of exceptional quality.
The feeding value Of potatoes is esti-
mated at one-fourth that of grain.
Marsh hay is the very best material
for the winter mulch for straw berries.
The tomato pack has been much light
er than last year, but of better quality
1t would seem as if incubation were
the only safe reliance against hog chol-
era.
Boiled thrnips mashed and mixed
with grain form an excellent poultry
food.
The Australian wheat grower is un-
derselting the South African farmer in
his own market.
Finishing with corn alone gives soft
pork, which is reckoned abroad as n
fourth-class article.
Sugar beet pulp fed in connection
with alfalfa and wild hay are said to
produce high-quality beef.
Danish pork sells for $14.1s in the
London market, while American only
brings $o.7s for liz pounds.-N. 7

mich,x.n's repperm,nt crop.

Three-fifths of the oil of peppermint,
consumed in the world is produced in
eight counties of Michigan. The oil
Proouct OF that state this year will
amount to 10000 pounds, and between
$4,000 and $4,000 acres are devoted to
the cultivation of peppermint. Frost
and drought have injured the older
plantations this year, although the
plants set this spring have escaped in
jury. The peppermint is cut when in
blossom like hay. and when dried is
placed in wooden wits and steamed i'm
til the cells burst and the oil passes up
ward with the steam. which is con-
densed and conducted into a reservoir
where the oil rises and is SKINNED off.
1t requires $50 pounds Of dried pepper
mint to produce 1 pound of oil. An
acre of land will yield from to 10
pounds, and in exceptional cases even
as great a quantity as so pounds, This
|. ear the price has ranged from 81 go to
s1.7o a pound.-Garden and Forest.

OUR CORN THE BEST.

Contains Moro Protein and Fats Than
That Grown In Europe.
An analysis of maize from the Black
sea and the Danube was recently nude
in the chemical division of the depart
anent of agriculture with Il view to de-
termining it's comparative value as q
feeding stuff with that grown in this
country. OF late years these countries
hive been shipping corn in large quan=
titles to Germany and Great britain
and other countries of northern Europe.
The advantage enjoyed by these courl-
tries i'll competition for this trade is
believed in this country to be offset by
the superior quality of the American
product, and this impression is strik->
ingly confirmed by the recent ANALYSIS.
The samples we're found to correspond
In composition to poor corn grown in
the United States; being from IL to ii
per cent. lower in protein and fully 80
per cent. lower in fat than the averages
OF over 200 samples of American-,ro1vn
corn. While an average for corn the
world over shows but 9.45 per cent. of
protein, and this average is higher than
samples from the Black sea and the
Danube, the American average is 1913.
So with fat, the general average be-
ing 4.29. The average for corn grown
ih southwestern Europe is 4.13, whiI,
the average for American is 81, and
many samples of the latter showed SIS
and per cent. The American aver
age as given, moreover, includes nu-
lnerous samples Of inferior corn; and
he said to fairly represent the
of corn exported.
1t is pointed out by the department |
that while these facts speak eloquentIy
of the higher quality of the American
product. they also testify with equal
force to the Importance of maintaining
the high standard of the feeding quail
ity of American corn in foreign mar
kets. as that is Undoubtedly the char.
acteristic upon which main reliance
lnust be placed to enable the American
growers to compete successfully with
the cheap labor of southern Europe.

There Arc Many Reasons Why . Cart

There are very few forms in this

In year There Ii some sort Of a

load is to be hauled one horse can do
going TO the trouble of hitchsng up two
horses.
For hauling seed to the field, or ma
nure, where a little is needed; or for any
other light work, a cart is better than
Il double team. For hauling in such
crops as potatoes, for hauling feed to
and fro for the stock, and for many
other purposes, a cart may be used
to save using a double team and a two

A cart that has the bed SO arranged
that the load can be dumped is thu.
handiest form to have it made in, as
the load can be dropped, whether it be
potatoes or cordwood or coal, by simply
tipping it out. If the cart he made with
wide tires, it can be taken over places
with a good load on it where an ordi-
nary wagon could hardly be hauled by
two horses.
