AGRICULTURAL
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
COST OF EGGS AND MEAT.

The nutritive value of eggs and the
eheapness of their production are
scarcely realized by the public. 1t may
seem rather improbable to state that
when meat Is twenty-five cents q
pound, the food value of eggs is about
thirty-seven and half cents q dozen,
yet this seems to be the fact. a nen
may be calculated to consume one
bushel Of corn yearly, and to lay
twelve or eighteen pounds Of eggs.
This is equivalent to saying that three
and tenth pounds of corn will pro-
duce, when fed to this hen. one pound
of eggs. A pound OF pork, on the
contrary, requires about five and a
third pounds Of corn for its produc-
tion. Judging from these facts, eggs
must be economical, and especially

About fourteen miles is the range

Malaria and typhoid fever are being
gradually extinguished in Rome,
thanks to the new water works. While
IN 1881 there were $50 deaths from
malaria, in 1895 there were only 125.
The population of Rome has increased
in that period from 100000 to 4G7.-

The production OF celery oil is new

from the green leaves and possesses
the powerful aromatic odor and taste
of tho plant. 1t is said to answer ex-

A professor of Lausanne, Switzer-
land. has published n study on the
geological problems connected with
the projected railway to the top Of the

shown that this can be done.

numerous colonies of the bacillus pro-
digiosus made their appearance.
High frequency currents have been

The EARLIEST solLING CROP.

10 begin soiling early in the season
You need to prepare the year before,
either with piece of clover to be cut
early, or better still, winter rye, which
is fit for cutting much earlier than
clover can be cut and make good feed.
Our staple soiling crop, Indian corn,
cannot be planted with advantage
much before the 10th of May, aud 1t
will take fully sixty days after before
it is fit to feed. Millet and Hungarian
grass mature more quickly than corn,
but they require still hotter weather
to develop rapidly in, and if planted
as early as it will do to plant corn, the
crop will be lessened. Winter rye can
he grown large enough to cut by the
middle to Goth of May, according to
the season. But rye is very unsatis-
factory soiling crop. Its season is
very short, for, after it shoots up to
head, the straw quickly becomes
woody and unpalatable. AT its best,
it is not so good feed as corn fodder
when in tassel and with ears starting

In summer, the best plan is to put up
enough corn silage one season to last
until June, by which time clover can
be ready to cut. If there is enough
clover, pieces of this can be cut in
succession until the early planted corn
is ready to take its place. On rich
land four and even five cuttings Of
clover may be made in season. each

Will Fish for Wolves.

Stockmen west and northwest of the
Black Hills are being put to their wits
ends to get even with the wolves and
coyotes which are becoming so cum
hing that no ordinary trap will catch
them, and they con no longer be in
duced to touch poisoned bait, no mat
ter how skillfully prepared; it rarely
causes the death of even baby wolf.
Hunting the animal with dogs has
been fairly successful, but most of the
best hounds have been killed by the
wolves. Shooting is the only sure
way of killing them, but it is difficult
to get within range OF them.
The latest scheme of stockmen is to
fish for the animals. A stout tishhook
is baited with some tempting morseI
in such a manner as not to arouse the
suspicious of a wolf or coyote. To
the hook is attached strong copper
wire, which is hidden in the grass. and
to the opposite end a stout anchor,
formed Of a log or heavy boulder, is
fastened. The anchor can be moved
by the wolf. but it is too heavy to be
hauled far.
The wolf swallows the bait and is
unable to release itself from the hook,
which holds it until cowboy makes
daily round Of the tishlines and shoots
the wolves that have been trapped.
Thus far the scheme has been very sue
cessful, but it will doubtless be only q
short time until the animals can no
longer be caught in this way.
j. B. Binder, in the Little Bend
country, has just received two Scotch
hounds and is going to try working
them with pack of grayhounds.
which are able to catch and worry tho
wolves until the stag hounds reach
them, when tho wolf is soon settled
for.
Stocknen on the ranges place the
loss from the wolves the past winter
ut a greater per cent. than losses from
all other sources. The wolves do not
confine their depredations to young
stock alone, but pull down full grown
steers and horses, when they arc hum
cry, instead Of touching poisoned
rcass.-Farm, Field and Fireside.

THE AVERAGE FARMERS HEN.

The day ought to be forever gone
by when farmers undertake a thing,
as we say. on general principles. The
rule in the business world is to calcu-
late in cold figures the cost of an aver.
age undertaking, on the one side, and
the advantages supposed to accrue on
the other. But how many farmers
have we ever heard Of were ever
known to wonder even as to the prob
able cost OF keeping hundred hens a
year according TO the slipShod methods
common to the ordinary farm? The
man who never figures on the cost Of
a thing never figures either on what
he Is gong to get out of it. Where
there Is no thought, no plan, no push,
there IS very apt to be little Of any
thing else except loss. There is every
reason to believe that the farm hen
should be the most profitable of all
hens II her efforts to do u man n good
turn were only guided by an intel
llgent and attentive hand. Because
OF lack OF any suspicion that the hen
would ever be the 1eaps of making
him any money, the farmer permits
her to shift for herself under nil cir
cumstanccs. To be sure, some farmers
have a building they call henhousc,
nut it generally leaks in summer and

Minute Workmanship.

In the twentieth year OF Queen
Elizabeth, says an English paper, Il
blacksmith named Mark Scaliot, made
lock consisting of eleven pieces of
iron, steel and brass, all OF which,
together with the key to it, weighed
but ono grain of gold. He also made
chain Of gold, consisting of forty
three links. and having fastened this
to the before mentioned lock and key,
he put the chain round about the neck
OF flea, which drew them all with
ease. All these together, chain and
flea, weighed only one grain and
half. Oswaldus Northingerus. who
was more famous even than Scaliot

ton. Light, quick soils are best
Soils naturally sandy and loose but
enriched with manure in previous
years, are excellent, especially if they
have warm exposure. The soil
should also be dry. Coarse, raw manure
should be avoided as it tends to make
too rank and late growth. If fertil-
izer is applied the year in which beans
are planted, it should be such as will
become available very quickly and
tend to hasten maturity OF the crop.
Concentrated fertilizers, those espe-
cially rich in potash and phosphoric
acid and with a low per cent. of nitro.
gen, are best suited. Plant an inch
deep in hills about three feet apart
and the rows about four feet apart,
dropping seven or eight beans in each
hill. When we'll up and danger from
bad weather and cutworms is past,
pull out all but three or four. Poles
should not be over six feet high as on
longer poles the vines run too high
and grow too late. Clipping back thu
vines is unnecessary when strong fer.
tilizers are withheld. The California
practice of bean growing varies greatly
in that the crop is not infrequently
raised from planting to harvesting
without a shower. Machine planters
plant two to four rows at time, forty
inches apart. Instead of setting poles,
the plants grow over and completely
cover the ground. The plants are cut
in late September just below the sur.
face of the ground, are forkcd into
piles and allowed to dry fortnight.

recently been adopted by most OF the

machinery has been on the market but

expensive. While all consumers vel.
