During the night his desk had been

FERM AND

FALL FLOWING.

BY Professor w. c. Welborn
The bad weather that most always
attends and follows the Christmas hol-
idays found us with every acre of our
land well broken. 1t is certainly a
great pity that the fine weather that
we always have in the fall and winter
I'D TO this time is not more generally
utilized in preparing for the next years
crop. October, November and Deem
Der the land always works admirably
From now until March blowing is i'm
possible on most soils. Land unplowed
will be tramped by stock through these
Wet months and greatly injured. Then
when spring comes the breaking will
be done poorly and hurriedly, for if
done early in the spring it Will be too
wet, while just a little 1arer it win be
too dry.
We set great benefits from fall plaw-
ing, and among theme are these:
Our teams are left with little heavy
work TO do at the beginning of crop
time, and we have a fresh fat team TO
begin the crop with.
All the stalks, stubble, weeds, grass.
pea vines, ETC., are plowed under and
have time to rot by spring. This keeps
the land loose and porous, making the
air to enter it and dissolve it's plant
food. 1t also enables water to drain
through it better and never lets it get
soggy. Our lands are thus kept as loose
and frable and as productive as new
ground all the time.
We can plant more promptly and sat
isfactorily land fall plowed- When the
time comes for planting we have moth
ing to do but run a harrow over it, and
follow with the seed drill
Lastly, we get better yields, probably
% per cent more
Many object to fall blowing certain
kinds of land because it runs together
again in winter This is true of some
sold when there is little vegetable mat
ter plowed under. But if sthere is a
heavy growth of grass or weeds or
other vegetable matter / believe the
soil will be benefited by fall plowing-

PRESERVING FRUITS FOR ExHIBI-
TION.

1 have made a few tests on keeping
fruits that may be of interest to your
readers, writes Thomas L. Brunk in
Denver Field and Farm. 1 have nine
ty-nine varieties of pears i'm sulrphur-
Gus water which, with slight excep-
tions, are keeping finely. But this
liquid takes out all green and red
colors, leaving the fruit yellow in ev
cry case. The yellows are not all the
same and are often such as would
show that the fruit had been green
But this liquid is nevertheless one Of
the best yet tried. 1t keeps persian-
mons, white grapes, yellow apples.
plums and peaches, oranges, lemons
and watermelons in splendid condition.
The green of the watermelon rind is
changed to a. yellowish brown color,
but the pink flesh, strange to say, is
finely preserved. I have seen many
vegetables at exhibitions preserved in
this liquid, and believe that tomatoes,
carrots beets, yellow beans, onions,
asparagus, cucumbers, peppers, and
sweet corn can be perfectly preserved.
The liquor is easily and cheaply
made. In tight barrel with one head
out, nail two cleats half way down
upon which to place a board for a
shelf. Bore a hole in the side at the
bottom to draw off the liquor when
made. In this barrel place three and a
half gallons of clear we'll or cistern wa
ter. Then put in the shelf, and ON it
place AN old iron fat vessel. In this
vessel make q cone-Shaped pile of a
half pound of sulphur that has a half
once of powdered chlorate potash thor
Ivy Vz-itn
make a hole down through the center
of the cone. In this put a few chry
of chlorate of potash and then drop
into it a lighted match or a coal of
fire. This is usually all that is neces-
saTy to cause the sulphur to burn.
When once nicely started it will con-
tinue to burn till nearly the whole
pile is consumed
Cover the top of the barrel as soon
as the sulphur is ignited, with a couple
of heavy coffee sacks, place the barrel
head ON top of all. and the process is
done The fumes thus confined should
remain over the water from three to
four hours, or better, over night. The
water will absorb enough in that time
to give off a very strong sulphurous
smell or to have a sharp acid taste
when drawn from the barrel if the
sulphur has burned well. Otherwise
the sulphur must be reignited and
more added to the pile. This liquid
can be drawn directly into the exhibit
tion jars and if not filed too full they
are ready to receive the fruit. Or they
can be set away alright and ready at
any time for choice specimen. add
to each quart jar a. half ounce of alum
and common salt to harden the fruit
and prevent cracking. The liquid will
lose strength if not kept air-tight.

A THESIS ON ALFALFA BLoAT.

There are three conditions necessary to
produce bloat-water, alfalfa and heat
The absence of any one of these elements
will break the rule, and there can be no
fermentation. Much depends upon the
time the animal is watered and fed If
the rule were to be adopted of giving the
COW water two hours before turned out
to Craze the danger from bloat would be
greatly diminished and if the water was
impregnated with some anti-ferment
then there would be no danger. For this
purpose 1 know of nothing more power
ful than sulphide of soda This sub
stance when bought in bulk is inexpen-
sive, and one pound would impregnate
forty or fifty gallons of water. On ac-
count of its succulency the animals eat
alfalfa greedily, thus filing the stomach
with a. mass of simi-digested food. Then
If allowed free access to water unpre-
pared with an anti-ferment, rapid fer
mentation sets in almost as a matter of
course. This fermentation soon fills the
animals stomach and bowels with gas,
and if not promptly arrested death en-
sues.
If the bloat does occur the fermentation
must be arrested at once To do this
drench the animal with a strong SOU
ton of sulphide of soda. Have the tanks
thoroughly kneaded and instead of stab
bling, which relieves the COW for the time,
doubtless, but on account of the adhe-
sions which form during the healing pro-
cess renders her much more subject to
future attacks, pass a stout rubber tube
through the rectum far enough to reach
the gas. This can be readily done by any
careful person without injury to the ami
NAL. This tube should have caliber of
not less than one inch. and some Ten fec
long. Should the tube become blocked
by particles of alfalfa it is easily cleaned
by forcing a strong solution of sulphide
OF soda through a stout syringe holding
about a gallon of the liquid
1t is a good plan to corral the ami
mails at night. The first thing in the
morning give them water slightly charged
with sulphide of soda, one pound to fifty
gallons. Then return them to the corral
for an hour or two. They may then be
permitted to Craze for sevral hours, not
allowing access to water until they have
had time to thoroughly masticate and di-
gest by chewing the cud. Then they may
drink without danger, especially if the
sulphide is in the water. In case of bIoat
lose no time in applying a remedy, for
death ensues very quickly. AS a last re-
sort it is well to have a. knife to fall
back upon; but let that be the last re-
sort, or better than the knife, veterin-

INTENSIVE FAR,rING.

The longer I live and till the soil the
stronger l become in my belief that a
farmer should work his land on the in
tensive system Never let the land be
idle long at time but apply manure
and keep it producing something-for
blowing under, if nothing else
1t is strange why some farmers keep
buying more land on which to pay taxes
when they cannot work it to its full ca
pacity. No more land should be owned
than what will be profitable investment
TO the owner. A small farm thoroughly
titled IS of far more satisfaction TO the
owner than one carried on in a slip-shod
fashion More comfort can be taken on
II as a home and the whole family will
be happier.
Our farms should be conducted so that
each one becomes an attractive home to
all its members and especially the young.
Small fruits and berries should have their
place and the garden should be of good

AFARMER,s ExpERIENcE.

When farmers thoroughly understand
thai there is more money in the raising
of POULTRY and eggs Cor market than
there is in growing other crops, they Will
ind themselves on a better footing for
reducing that mortgage" and make
lie and work more agreeable An ex-
cellent Illustration is given of this by
Editor Drevenstedt, who for a number
OF years ran a poultry, milk and gen
eral farm in Orange county, n. Y,
where he is located now. He says:
Some eight years ago, when we en-
Joyed the bracing air of a mountain
farm not many miles from Newburg,
the fresh egg problem was in the same
unsatisfactory condition. We sold
great many eggs 20 customers in the
city of New York. Our own focks
would not supply the demand; conse-
quenhly we were obliged to scour the
country for twenty miles around us for
men fruit. 1t was not an easy task TO
secure the very best article, notwith-
standing the fact that we paid con-
siderably above the market price for
eggs. After securing all the cream OF
the good eggs, and assuming other egg
buyers did the same, what could one
expect to find in this line at the grocery
store? The answer is obvious.
The continual production Of milk ON
every farm suitable for the purpose has
injured the milk business. Farmers
have become machines. They care to
know only the number of quarts of
milk they can produce at the cheapest
possible cost, to sell at ruinous price,
SO to speak. They fail to raise other
crops, or handle other stock, because
they think they have not the time, and
prefer often to buy what they should
raise. We have been there, and know
what we are talking about The day
that we paid more attention to the
poultry and less to the milk production
was a day of progress with us

FIEID EXPERIMENTS wITH WHEAT

Bulletin 81 of the Purdue university
agricultural experiment station, sum-
marizes the conclusions Of thirteen
years experiments in the following
paragraphs:
1-Wheats have maintained their
standard of excellence as to yield in
the same soil for thirteen years.
New varieties of wheat frequently
show no improvement over standard
sorts.
3-Thick seeding has proved advant-
ageous in a trial covering twelve years.
4-Change of soil has not thus far

5-The best yields and plumpest

harvesting when the wheat is nearly

Then what is prayer for? Not to inform
him, nor to move him, unwilling. to have
mercy, as if, like some proud prince, he
required a certain amount of recognition
of his greatness as the price of his IA
vors. But to fit our own hearts by con-

willing to give, but which we are not al

AN ELABORATE OPENING.

Although this has been an exceed
ingly disagreeable day for shoppers,
y. 5. Sachs has had his store crowded
all day long by those anxious to see
the new and extensive fall styles of
millinery.
The prevailing colors in millinery,
as well as dress godds, for the coming
season run to black and white. The
hats imported direct from Europe or
New York are of the very latest de-
signs and no more complete assort-
ment can be found in San Francisco.
The stock of imported and those
trimmed in the store consists of new
shapes in hats, toques, children's hats
and all the latest novelties in birds
and feathers.
Miss Haaie, "A recent arrival from
the east, has all the latest ideas and
comes recommended to Mr.. Sachs as
an exceptionally fine and original
trimmer
Judging from the rush today, should
tomorrow be n fine one the indications
are that the store will be more than
crowded
