DEEP PLOUGHdNG

The important subject of deep
ploughing is thus treated of by a cor
respondent Of the New England
Farmer:
1t is believed that SHALLOW ploughing
IS the cause of the failure OF osuccess in
farming so generally seen an over the
country. One of the great losses
caused by the practice of shallow
ploughing is that of fertility, expert
enced after grain cropping for a, few
years and which is so generally COM
planned of from one end of the coun-
Try to the other. In the New England
states many of the farms have been
wholly abandoned, and in the west
where few years ago it was claimed

VIGOR IN MOULTING.

There is perhaps no time in the his
tory of the fowl that indicates it's vigor
so we'll as the molting period. Fowls
that mott in a short time and hardly
stop laying during This period, as d
rule, have strong, vigorous conSdtu-
TONS and if propedly fed give q large
yearly record.
On the other hand, those that are a
long time melting have not the vigor
and strength to digest and assimilate
food enough to produce the requisite
number OF eggs.
+ If it is necessary to select fowls
sometime during the year other than
the melting period some indication of
their reproducing power is shown in
their general conformation. In select
ing a hen for reproduction her form
will give some information of value.
\ long, deep-bodied fowl is to be
chosen rather than one with a short
body, whose underline is not unlike a
half circle. A strong, hearty, vigorous
fowl usually has long body, deep
chest. with a long and quite straight
underline.
Other things being equal, the larger
bodied fowls of the egg breeds age to
be preferred. 1t is a rule that fowls
bred for egg production are larger
bodied than those bred for fancy
points. Whenever vigor and constitu-
ton form an important part in the Sc
lection of fowls for breeding the size
of the fowls is invariably increased

SUCKERS ON CORN.

Early planted corn has always the
most suckers. That which is planted
late and usually receives no check in
its growth has fewest. If the season
Is entirely favorable, the corn that
has had no suckers will be the best.
But if the season proves unfavorable,
the sucker may play an important
point in increasing the yield. The suck
er is always later than the main stalk,
though if the check to growth is re-
ceived from early planting, sometimes
a very good ear may be grown on both
sucker and stalk 1t is the opinion OF
many farmers that more weight of
grain is grown on corn early planted.
There is certainly Il greater weight of
stalks, and this increases the labor Of
harvesting the crop.--Ameritan Guilt

SHEEP ON HILL LAND.

One of the largest items of the farm
er's expenses is hired labor, and there
is no kind of stock that requires so lit
| tie as sheep. A short part of the year, lat
weaving and nursing time, they should
have close attention, and at that time
of the year farmers are not generally
rushed with their work, says a writer in
the Ohio Farmer.
In rough, billy land, where labor pays
to the poorest advantage, sheep have
been found to be adopted as if nature
intended it that way. 1t used to be the
practice in some parts to raise corn to
sell to dstilleries. This left the
ground bare all winter, to wash away;
then the habit of raising tobacco fol-
lowed until some of the ground is
worthless, with hardly enough soil left
on the rocks to grow shade of any
kind. Quite in contrast with such
farms are the ones that have beeE/kept
in bluegrass, giving them picturesque
appearance, especially in the spring of
the year, the grass growing across some

spread bluegrass faster than any other
stock.
One of our neighbors keeps almost
his entire farm in fruit of different
kinds and sheepto pasture his orchards.
1t is one Of the toughest, steepest farms
along the Ohio River and not washed
to amount to anything. He thinks he
could not raise fruit if it were not for
his sheep to eat the wormy fruit and to
keep down weeds and grubs. When he
bought the farm several years ago he
was considerably in debt, but the hard
times found him out of debt and some
money in the bank, without any other
source of income than his sheep and
fruit. Another neighbor, with her
sheep, fruit and three or four good
cows, manages to increase the fertility
of her farm and keep it in good repair,
which is something which a great
many men fail to do. have seen some
of the finest peaches grow in her or
chard in a sod that had not been broken
for several years.
About fifteen years ago twenty-one
acre field on our farm was what we
thought ruined at the time, by heavy
rain, almost cloud burst. 1t was in
oats and the soil was washed out three
or four feet wide down to the sub-soH
in many places; it went from bad to
worse; considerable time was wasted in
trying to stop the bitches with brush
and straw, as it would only rot and
Mash out deeper. Since we have put
s&fep on it with occasional changes to

nroyed that the loss of fertility Is gen.
eral after fifteen or twenty years OF
crop growing. Now this Is an I'M
natural result No such result ought
to follow, but it is nevertheless re-
suit everywhere seen and felt to the
great loss Of agriculture.
The true policy of crop production
will avoid this loss. The soil should
be opened up to a good depth 80 that
the moisture OF rains and melting
SHOWS may be readily and quickly car
ried down into the earth, deep down
into the subsoil, before time is given
for it's loss to the soil by the evapo-
rating influences of the sun and air, so
that it may be safely stored deep IN
the earth until needed at the surface
where it will be brought by, the capil.
larry action of the earth and air to be
used by the growing plants.
The blowing should also be deep IN
order that excessive moisture may
readily pass down into the earth away
from the roots of plants that no injury
may be done to the plants by the pres
ence of more water than can be used.
Great loss is often experienced in
wet times by the presence of too much
water Immediately surrounding the
growing plants, and as deep blowing
loosens the soil, a great deal of the
loss occasioned in times of excessive
rains may be avoided altogether. while
growth is promoted by the supply of
enough moisture to be taken up and
used by the growing crop.

THE SWIL1 BARREL.

Everything that usually goes to the
swill barrel can be turned to more
profit on the farm if it is put in proper
condition for feeding the poultry.
Potato and turnip parings boiled are
good to put with the mixed food. All
table scraps make the very best OF
food: even the meat bones can be
crushed, and will more than pay for
the trouble in the increase of eggs. The
buttermilk used in scaldiDg state, or
sour or sweet milk the same, add in
creased nouriShment to the mixture
mentioned The whey, when curd is
made, can also be utilized the same
way. Whole grain should be fed at
evening. Wheat, barley, buckwheat,
corn and rye are valued as respective
ly enumerated. The fowls show a
preference for corn, but if fed too NIB
orally it will soon make the hens TOO
fat for profitable egg layers. OF course
excessive feeding of wheat will have
like tendency, but in not as quick or
so marked a degree. The aim in feed
ing laying hens, to induce continued
egg production, should be to furnish
as great variety of food as possible,
and when the season will not permit
the hens to secure plenty of insect
food. green-cut raw bone should be
given, as it is properly recognized as
the missing link in egg production IN
| winter. Char a cob of corn in the oven
occasionally, and let the flocks have it.
Crushed oyster shells or sharp gravel
should always be accessible to the
hens Water is a great essential. All
the foods named can be given to grow
ing chickens, and in addition cracked
corn. Chicks will require more liberal
| feeding and oftener than fowls, as they
are making flesh, muscle, bone and
feathers at the same time, thus requir-
| ing a good supply of varied and nour-
| iShing diet. Wheat screenings may
supply bulk, but very little nourish-
ment. Damaged grain of any kind
should never be fed to poultry.-Co

WHEN MOST DEATHS OCCUR.
An Old Superstition Has Been Upset by
the Record of S; 900 Cases.

-
Has death n fayorite hour during the
twentv-four in which to visit hospltai
and sick room and gather IN MS VIC
tins?
A general opinion is entertained py
medical practitioners and others en'
gagged in caring for the sick that tne
greatest number of deaths occurring
in individuals afflicted with disease
takes place during the hours immedl'
ately succeeding midnight and precea-
ing the dawn. The rule is said to De
particularly true in those suffering
from chronic exhausting diseases.
Deductions have been made from
these impressions which have served
to regulate the administration Of slim
ulants in such cases, it being said, III
six ounces of brandy be needed IN
twenty four hours, four should be ad-
ministered from to 6 a. M, for then is
vitality in the human being at its low
est" and more deaths occur at these
hours than at any other period"
II accepted this teaching at college"
says a medical man, because l had
neither the means nor the time to
verify or disprove it to my own salts
faction. Yet l always doubted the
correctness of the conclusions drawn,
and, to settle the doubt in my mind,
since entering on my duties at the hos
pital | have collected statistics, which
| find do not agree with this generally
accepted idea.
"The figures show twenty seven few
er cases during the hours from p. m.
to 6 a. m. than for corresponding
twelve hours of the day. Again, from
to p. m. there were sixty-six more
deaths than from 2 to 6 a. m. The total
number of deaths in the list of acute
diseases for the twelve hours from Il
p. H. to 6 a. m. is 100 less than for
the corresponding period during the
day.
The hours from 10 = a. N. in this
list show fifty-three cases more than
for the corresponding period in the
afternoon. This in nearly 1000 cases
is very slight.
'In the chronic cases the greatest
number of deaths at any one hour was
at p. m, with and p. m. and a.
m. closely following. The greatest in
the acute list was at 3 a. M, with IL a.
m. and II p. m. closely following.
"The lowest number IN the acute list
was at Il midnight, that hour so
dreaded in the sick room by attend
ants, and to which good deal of super
stition attaches. 1t is noticea bic that
the number for this hour is exceeding
ly low-about half of the average num-
Der. In the chronic cases tie lowest
number appears at 8 a. m.
From these $4,000 cases, extending
over period of twelve years, it would
appear that death occurs seemingly
without any particular prediction for
any certain hour. and that the number
of deaths for each hour is very evenly
proportional, considering the large
number of cases taken and the time
covered. New York Journal.

A House On Wheels.

One of these days people will move
their houses instead of their house
hold goods, if an English inventors
plan succeeds. III. j. Lawson, of
London, is going to build a two-stoYy
house to be run Ipon wheels and be
propelled by "a motor underneath.
The house. will contain four rooms,
and its framework is to be of steel
tubing. The upper story's con-
(struction will be of such a nature that
it can be closed up and thus be made
capable of passing under a bridge
across a cut in a road.
All sorts of cOnveniences are planned
for this house on wheels. 1t will have d
bath room and all the appurtenances
thereto. Tie kitchen will contain a
range and a good-sized receptacle for
fuel. Then there will be a refrigera-
tor and ample storage for edibles.
Mr.. Lawson is the man who sixteen
years ago tried so earnestly to make
motor cars popular in England, but
without avail. This latest idea of his
is on the same principle of propulsion
as the motor cars, and Mr.. Lawson
holds that it is as practicable to make
a motor house that will travel about
on wheels as it is a wagon.
The house on wheels is already a fact
in the United States, although horses
form the motor power. One family
has been travelling about the United
States, although horses have been the
motor power. One family has been
travelling about the Western States
all summer in this manner.

Is necessary to break it. The rainlng
should begin when the colt Is rev
weeks old, or even sooner. 1t shouio

TO be fearless. Then 1t should be
taught the use of the halter and to DE
led; then to carry harness and to De
saddled and ridden, and then to draw
small loads on a light carriage. All
this should be adapted to its strength,
and the effect will be that when year
old it will come to its work without
the necessity for any breaking, or the
use of a whip at any time. The owner
should talk to the colt and teach it the
meaning of as many words as he can.
