FARM AND GARDEN.
PEAT AS A MANURE.
gcientiao Side of nm Important Agricul-
turaI Question.

Bcientifio Side of nm Important Agricul-
1 tural Question.
The economic Importance of the
Increased use of moss litter, from the
point of view of manure, is incalcuable.
Prof. Fleisher points out that, COM
pairing peat and straw manure bychem-
deal analysis, it is found that the former,
while slightly poorer in potash, lime,
and phosphoric acid, is very consider
nbly richer in nitrogen. But the diff
ference is still more in favor of the peat
manure in respect to the easily soluable
nitrates, for the reason that these orig
inate solely in the animal excrement, in
which they are present in the form
of volatile body, which is noticeable
in the stall by its pungent smell. He
says:
I'm the power of fixing this substance,
which so Injuries the health of beasts,
and so materially heightens the good
operation of the manure, is to be dis
covered one of the most valuable prop
critics of moss litter"
From his agures it appears that in
q stall of ten head of cattle, through the
use of moss litter, about 140 kilograms
of easily soluble nitrates yearly, worth
at least $35, would be preserved in the
manure, which IN employing straw, are
lost.
According to the comparative studies
of Lavalard on the subject of manures
from animals fed in the same manner,
the richness In nitrogen is 0.6s for peat
manure and only 0.51 for straw manure,
Peat litter is also said to be the best
possible material for use in fowl houses,
on account of it's deodorizing qualities
and It's power of banishing insects.
Bielawski mentions that it is used in this
great military pigeon houses in Paris,
which contain more than 500 pigeons,
1t is stated that the best bedding,
both as regards the beasts and as re,
CARDS the manure, is layer OF straw
over a good thick bed of moss litter.
In this way, the animals have the most
comfortable bed and the stall looks
nice and fresh; the urine and the am
monia which the straw cannot absorb
are absorbed by the peat below; the
manure has the advantage of the ele-
ments in which each substance is
richest, and nothing is lost either in
the stable or outside.-Farm, Field and
Fireside.

CONCRETE STABLE FLOORS.
How They Add to the Fertilizing Value
of Manure.

How They Add to the Fertilizing Value
of Manure.
Some one has said that you can't
abstract fertility through a concrete
floor. 1t is true. Drainage away
from a manure pile indicates lack of
Drainage. 1t is hard for some farmers
TO understand that the liquid manure
contains all the digested portions of
the food that are passed by the animal.
These digestible parts are soluble, and
not only quickest in their action as
plant food, but easiest to run away if
not jailed by concrete floor. AS DIR.
Young says, any place that is to hold
crete if possible. 1T is a wise provi-
sion of nature" says the Rural New
Yorker, that man has this power of
grinding up concrete, and then mold
ing it to suit his will into artificial
stone to cover any desired surface with
watertight covering. This wonder
full action is as useful in it's way as is the
chemical action of fire. 1t is one of
the things placed in our hands with
which to prevent loss, and there are
few losses so serious to the farmer as
the loss of fertility. With concrete
floors and plaster for an absorbent, we
may add much to the value of manure,
not alone by saving the fertilizing val
ue of the liquids, but by retaining
moisture in the pile"

MEAT SMOKER.

smoke is generated in the usual way,
and then carried through lue to the
smokehouse, where the meat is hang
ing. The damper at ID regulates the
admission of smoke, which passes out
at C. The meat should be smoked with
green wood-hickory, elm or sugar
maple chips or sawdust should be used.
Pine should never be employed, as it
affects the flavor of the meat Corn
cobs are excellent for smoking, as they
impart sweet and pleasant flavor.
The temperature of the smokehouse
should never rise above so degrees.
The smoking should be done a little
each day until the meat Is suitably
colored.-N. Y. World.

the spring article. The earlier lambs
can be sold in the large city markets
the higher the price. In killing, cut
the throat, making as large an insertion
as possible, but be certain that tho
large artery is severed. The lamb
should then be hung up by the heels
in order to bleed thoroughly and avoid
soiling the wool about the neck or head.
In dressing early lambs, cut them open
only from the tail to the breast bone,
but as the weather becomes warm, ii
is best to cut down to the head. Re.
move the entrails, leaving in the haslet.
The head, feet and skin should all be
left on. Skin the hind legs and draw
the caul over them and well down over
the kidneys, securing it with skewers.
Slit the caul sufficiently to let the kid
neys through, and put Inv what are
known as back-sets or spreaders. These
are pieces of wood about II inches long
for an ordinary sized carcass and point
ed at both ends. BE careful that the
backsets are not too long, or there is
danger of breaking the ribs and i'll
juring the appearance of the lamb.
| the flank and the other in the breast
close up to the first rib, and place the
other stick in an opposite direction, SO
that the sticks cross in the back just be-
hind the kidneys so as to open the car
cass in such a way as to present good
appearance, making it as fat as pos
sible.
Let the carcass hang until perfectly
cool, and before taking down see that
NIL the bloody liquid has been removed
from the chest. Replace the skin on
the hind legs, cover the exposed por-
tions of the flesh with clean white mus
lin and sew the whole carcass up neat
ly in burlaP or bagging. The accom-
panying illustration from the Cornell
station shows the appearance it should
present. Mark the package plainly

How TO Prepare Tobacco Din.

Speaking of tobacco dip, a writer
says it will require for 100 sheep 100 gal
ions of water, and to make that strong
enough to kill ticks and the scab it Will
require the addition of all the fluid that
can be extracted from 25 pounds of to-
bacco. The tobacco should be thor
oughly STEPPED and boiled so as to get
all the strength out of it. To this mix
ture 10 pounds of sulphur should be
added The sulphur should be mixed
separately in pail of hot water, and
after being thoroughly stirred should
be added to the dip. If tobacco stems
are used, at least three times the weight
mentioned should be stepped.

Loss in Glover EnsiIage.

One thing which causes the loss with
clover ensilage is that clover is a rather
nitrcgenous plant, and often heats in
the silo to a high degree, which causes
tho passing off of large amount Of
moisture, and so produces the process
of fire-fanging, much the same as oc.
ours in a pile of horse manure; at least,
that has been my experience in ensilo-
ing it. If sufficient water be used upon
It, the heat is reduced and the ensilage
is preserved. 1t will be necessary for
the person filling the silo to watch pret-
ty carefully, and if the temperature
rises above 1875 degrees, to keep water
well poured on the surface. | do not
think that any injurious results will
nrise from the application of water.
We have added water very freely to our
corn ensilage here, and have received no
results other than beneficial ones.-In-
diana Experiment Station.

very palatable dish is made OF an
elephants foot by putting 1T in hole,
building a fire around and over 1t and
keeping it going for five or six hours
elephants tail is said to be very deli
cious when washed, scraped and fried
until it is rich dark brown. A novel
way of making stew is practiced by
one tribe who use the animals skin as
receptacle for water; put in this
water vegetables and pieces of meat
and then add red hot stones. This
generates vast quantities of steam and
makes the water boil without injuring
greatly the surrounding hide. At the
end of an hour the contents are cooked
and the water has become n very fair
soup, but little peculiar on account
OF the amount of cinders, sand and
fragments of stone it contains. Still
another tribe cook locusts, grasshop-
pers, katydids and the like, and say
they taste great deal like an over
cooked shrimp. None of the native
tribes, so far as known, ever eat the
ion, but they have no such feeling to-
ward other carnivora.
The jackal, wolf and fox are more
or less popular, and are reported to
give very palatable meat. Where our
people hang mutton, game and the i'm
mortal goose to season it and give it
rich flavor, many South American
tribes secure the same result by bury
ing meat in the earth and leaving it
there for several days. No civilized
man has ever been able to eat it in this
condition, but the savages pronounce it
a delicacy of extraordinary merit. Not
alone is cannibalism practiced to a
large extent, but our Darwinian cous'
ins of the monkey tribe share the same
fate. In the districts where they are
employed as food they are very timid
and fly at the sight of human being
even at great distance. In other ter
ritories, where they are unmolested
they are about as tame and fearless as
in South America or India. In nearly
all of these tribes the woman is the
cook and the waiter, very often the
butcher and sometimes the hunter

! Raising early lambs is proving "a
profitable industry to those who un-
derstand the industry from start to
finish. Unfortunately, judging from
the appearance of many of the lambs
shipped, many people fail. to under
stand that the, mode of dressing has n
very important effect upon the price ob-
tanned. To obtain n satisfactory profit
1t is essential that the early lambs pre-
sent neat and inviting appearance
when exposed for sale. This is almost
as important as care and skill in fat
tening the lambs.
Early in the season lambs should not
weigh more than 25 pounds, and as the
season advances buyers want heavier.
They should be grown as quickly as
possible to reach the required weight
and should be fat and plump. Late sum-
ner and fall lambs will not sell for

have been enshrined in a small, but

of which especially strikes those who
behold her for the first time in these
her CHAIR days" 1t was reported
how, when Prince Albert was dying,
he reused himself from a period of
wandering to turn with ineffable love
to his spouse and sovereign, saying to
her with kiss: "Good little wife"
And when the Prince Consort was actu-
ally passing away after those 81 years
of welded happiness, it was told how
the queen bent over him and whis-
pered: 1T is your little wife" at which
last words the angel of death stayed
his hand while once again the dear
eyes opened and the dying lips smiled.
But though this be so, no one who
has been honored by near approach to
her majesty, or has ever tarried in her
presence, will fail to testify to the
extreme majesty of her bearing, min
gled always with the most perfect
grace and gentleness. Her voice has,
moreover, always been pleasant and
musical to hear, and is SO now. The

Every farmer who cures hams and

1t may be as simple as possible, and

requires ventilation as well as smoke
for the drying that is essential to good

that the smoke be cooled before coming
in contact with the meat. The accom-
