the music of merry voices, wendcd their way

powerful appetite. From High House the

The general laws of the State allows tha
shooting of pheasants and squirrels from
August 18th to December oath. But it must
be remembered that where a county has a
local game law, the local law prevails, even
though 1t conflicts with the State law.
Hartford has no squirrel law, therefore shoot
ing squirrels is now legal: but we have a
local law that prohibits the shooting OF
pheasants before the 18th of November

Peach Growing.

Mr.. j. II. Hale, one of the greatest
peach-growers of the United States, in
speaking of the manner in which he
makes a success of the business Is re-
ported as saying that one must thin by
hand. He puts stepladders under the
trees and puts boys on them whose
humps of destructiveness are large, and
tells them to go ahead. He begins when
the reaches are y of an inch in diameter,
and takes everything that is curculio-
stung and diseased. These he carts away
and burns. The rest that are taken off
are dropped on the ground and left there.
In future, he says, 3 or year old peach
trees shall not bear over $50 peaches; 4
or year old trees not over 300, and full
grown trees not over 500 That means
6 inches apart; 500 peaches on tree will
make six or eight baskets of fancy fruit.
Three thousand peaches to tree won't
make more, or sell for more money and
the trees are ruined.
Peach trees are planted on good ordi-
nary corn or wheat land in fair state
of fertility. The holes for the trees are
dug about twice as large as necessary, TO
receive the roots and big handful OF
fine ground bone is scattered at the bot
tom of the hole and two or three more
on the dirt, and that is worked in around
the roots at the time the tree is planted
Then is put on muriate of potash. The
next year is broadcasted from 100 to loOO
pounds per acre Of fine ground bone, and
from 400 to 500 pounds of muriate OF pot
ash, or it's equivalent, and this is kept
up every year, whether the trees bear or
not. sit is pretty liberal feeding but 1t
pays to be liberal with trees" says Mr..
Hale

food in almost the proper proportions,
and no food will make hens lay like
wheat in some shape with a regular ra-
ton of green cut bones. Then keep them
comfortable and busy.
Fowls need lime, but it is the better
way to give them foods rich in this ma
terial Chopped clover contains both
lime and heterogeneous matter Peas are
also rich with it, and wheat is a lime
food. The wheat should be given after
clover, lest it be too concentrated and
fatten the fowls, instead of making them
lay.
We shall not contend that flock of
poultry would be the salvation of the
farmer in these depressed times, but
when English farmers are convinced that
there is more to be made from their fowls
than the provision of pin money for their
wives and daughters, it is time we were
giving the subject more consideration.

The Orchard and Garden.

Prepared hotbed as quickly as possible.
Plan the garden carefully before be-
ginning planting.
Long, straight rows and the use of the
garden cultivator will be help indeed.
In ordering grape vines first ascertain
from your fruit-growing neighbors what
varieties are known to do well in tie To-
cality. The Concord, Worden, Moore's
Early, Niagara and the Delaware are
standard varieties. The Agawam is an
extremely rapid grower and early fruit
ing sort, therefore very desirable am
ber-colored variety.
The spraying of fruit trees, plants and
vines for the prevention of the ravages
of insects and fungus diseases is no
longer an experiment. 1t has come to
be recognized as a necessity by all sue
cessful fruit growers who aim to grow
large crops and perfect fruit.
Book farming means for the farmer
just what book learning does for the ply
sician The medical student must read
all the books and attend all the lectures
and the dissecting room until he can pass
then take his medicine and Instruments,
go out to practice and test his knowl-
edge. So with book farming. You must
read and study not only agricultural
books, but all books that would apply
in any way to that profession"

Farm papers, especially in the west,
are deVoting a great deal of attention to
the growing of sorghums, and 1t is rea-
sonable to conclude that many Will be
led to plant more or less of 1t this year.
The sorghum family is divided into two
great groups, the sugar sorghum and the
non-sugar sorghums. Of-the first the
early amber may be taken as the type
of the many varieties introduced into
this country from Africa or Egypt. The
type of the non-saccharine sorghum may
be regarded as the valuable broom corn.
In this class appear the Egyptian or'ivo-
ry wheat. This variety is considered by
all odds the most desirable of all the non
saccharine sorghums.
Then there are the Dourrha corn, white
and yellow; the Millomaizes. the Jerusa-
lem corn the Kaffir corn, white and red;
African millet, black rice corn and so on.
OF course, there is a great deal of confu-
sion in the manufacture of these sor-
ghums, both as to scientific name and the
common name.
OF one thing we are quite well assured.
An acre of land that will produce 100
pounds of lint cotton can be made to pro-
duce anywhere from sixty to 100 bushels
of the Egyptian or ivory wheat, If the
preparation and cultivation is what it
should be.
Comparative tests, we are satisfied
would show that this grain will make
more per acre, and that the quality OF
the grain for bread-making and feeding
to stock is superior to the Kaffir or any
other that we have named. For the poul-
try raiser it is unequaled.
AS a forage plant neither the ivory or
the Kaffir corn are desirable. Those who
have grown these non-sugar sorghums
no doubt will agree with us that 1t is a
poorly fed COW that will eat the stalks
of these plants. The leaves and tender
ends of the stalks are good enough bur
the great bulk of the crop would be hard
and unpalatable stalk. Properly grown
fodder corn is better than such sorghum.
OF course, if one grows crop OF II
chiefly for the grain 1t is we'll enough 10
save the stalks for forage If there is a
prospect of the latter running short. No
sensible person would be likely to plant
a second time either Kaffir corn or ivory
wheat purely for the forage. The sac
charine sorghums would be far prefera-
BILE for this, and, as we said, even com
mon corn, three to three and one-half
bushels drilled in would be a better thing.
The southern farmer has such royal
list of plants to choose from to supply an
abundance of forage 1t puzzles him often
| times which to choose.

Poultry Notes.

In the variety of farm products poultry
may become source of income at all
seasons of the year; but aside from this
the farmer should have more chickens to
save the butchers bills and to afford him
a change from pork and salt meats.
The days are at hand when the early
pullets and the hens which moulted first
will begin their song of production. See
that. they have the combustible material
to raise sufficient steam to keep the ma
chinery at work and bring forth the prod
uct.
Ask the average farmer II ne gives any
time or attention to his poultry and he
will tell you no; the women folks gather
the eggs and raise a few young ones, but
they do not pay. OF course they do not.
nor would the cattle, horses or pigs If
looked after in the same slipshod man
ner.

branch of human enterprise and labor
1t has made amazing strides in all the
mechanic arts. in chemistry and in COM
merce. Agriculture, however. lags be-
hind possibly on account of the intricate
nature of this art. and the fact that every
branch of science and of art is concerned
in the culture of the soil.
This fact alone shows the indispensable
necessity for the farmer himself to be
able to invent new devices for the culture
of the soil and new processes in the man
agement of his business. A special edu-
cation is needed. and every part of the
farmers industry is to be understood
from the very bottom of it to the last
item before a farmer can hope to attain
that high degree of success that is pre-
vailing in other industries.
