PLENTY OF PURE AIR.
Cows Need II More Than Amy Other
Kind OF Farm stock.


An authority on dairying and certain
dairy breeds says that no successful
dairying is permanently possible unless
the stock is kept in sound health. 1t is
true that we read of a great many dis
eased COWS being killed which were at
the time of their death doing good work
in the dairy, but such conditions are nee
essarily temporary. Even waving all
questions of contagion, such an animal
is bound, sooner or later, either to re-
cover or go down. The first requisite
for the dairymap is thathe should start
with sound stock, the next that he
should keep it sound. To do this, es-
sential conditions are necessary.
Among these conditions there is moth
ing of more Importance than that the
COWS should have pure air. To secure
this the stable should be of size proper
tionate to the number of the COWS and
then the means of ventilation, includ
ing both outlets and inlets, should be
ample. In many dairy sections one may
go miles without finding a stable large
enough to afford healthy quarters for
the cattle it is designed to contain.
Numbers of stables can be found
amongst good dairymen, TOO, which do
not contain over 300 cubic feet Of air
space to the COW. Every stable should
contain at least double this amount OF
air space per COW and three times the
amount would be still better. Most of
our stables are too low. Ten feet in
height is none too much. With this
hRight and with a stable 30 feet wide,
allowing four feet in width for each
COW, we have about 700 cubic air space
to each cow which will do fairly we'll

SCATTERING CLOUDS.

American RRinmnkerB' Plan Used 60
Prevent Storms.
Possibly it was from noticing the un-
successful attempts made by the would
be rainmakers in the United States to
bring down showers when wanted that
an ingenious Austrian grape grower
was induced to exactly reverse the
American practice. An account Of his
experiment is reported by United
States Consul Stephan at Annaberg.
The Austrian owned extensive vine
yards situated on the southern slopes
of the mountains, in n locality often
visited by destructive hailstorms. At
first he tried galvanized wire, and he
decided to install a battery and test the
plan of causing explosions TO drive off
the hailstorms. He erected six stations
on prominent mountain SUBMITS COM
manding a territory about two miles
in extent, Each station sheltered ten
mortars and a corps Of volunteers
handled them. The practical test is
thus described:
Threatening black clouds made their
appearance on the SUBMITS Of the
Bacher mountains. At given signal
all the mortars were fred OFF and the
continuous detonations in few mo-
ments caused a sudden reaction In the
movements of the clouds. The cloud
wall opened up funnel-like; the mouth
of the funnel began to rise IN the form
of consecutive rings, expanding gradu-
ally until all the clouds scattered and
entirely disappeared. No hail nor sud
den iownpour Of rain fell. The same
experience was gone through 9lx tSnea

Hint for Apple Growers.

Valuable lessons may be learned from
the experience of apple growers the
past season. One is that fruit packed
and placed in cold storage in too ripe
condition will not turn out satisfactor-
lily in the spring. Large quantities put
away last fall as fine, and counted as
long keepers, are turning out poorly,
Such fruit as was stored in best condi-
ton is now selling at top prices Of the
season. If the rule holds that year OF
great abundance and oyer-bearing is
followed by a moderate yield the next
season, the apple crop Of 1897 will prove
much more manageable Spray your
trees inteIligently and thoroughly, that
profits accruing from the sale Of choice
fruit next fall may make up for losses

smnll Farme Pny neat.

Large farms are not the ones that
pay best. A farm Of 25 acres that pro-
duces 60 bushels Of corn per acre will
give a profit, when farm Of so acres,
producing only 80 bushels per acre, Is
operated at q loss; yet the total guam
tity of corn is the same for both farms.
The reason the smaller farm may pay
is that less labor in proportion to yield
is required. The larger farm will de-
mand twice as much plowing, cultivat-
ing and narrowing as the smaller one,
ard the expense of hauling and spread
ing the manure harvesting the crop,
etc, is much greater.

For a Permanent Pasture.

When practicable q permanent pas
ture is desirable. Fields that are adapt
ed to the production Of titled crops that
are under a close rotation cannot be
pastured with profit. If crop Of clover
or timothy is removed in the rotation
there is nothing gained by grazing the
young grass nor the growth after the
crop is removed. The soil needs more
Of this organic matter than it gets at
the best, and this aftermath is worth
more as food TO the soil than to stock.
The skinning Of the titled fields by
stock and the tramplng when the land
is wet are responsible for many fail
ures to get profitable crops. fless de-
sirable land can be laid down to per-
manent grasses and stock be confined 10

LIME ON THE FARM.
ItR Effect ON the sOil should Be
Studied More Closely.

AGN EMNEk OM tMG 1oAa 9MONAN Az
Studied More Closely.
Lime is q much used, and very often
at the same time, much abused ma
terial on the farm. 1t has very inn
portant role to play, and, if handled
in the proper manner, is valuable aid
to the farmer. There are many who
use this material again and again
with a mistaken notion as to its true
functions in the soil. In time, how
ever their experience teaches them the
true place of lime in agriculture, but
often their lands have been almost
exhausted before they gain their wis
dom. While lime has n value as n
plant food, yet its greatest worth on
the farm is due to its physical effect
on the soil itself. 1t is very seldom
that a soil does not contain a sufficient
quantity Of lime to furnish this ingre-
dent as plant food pure and simple.
Briefly described, the actions of lime
are as follows: If applied on a sandy
soil it fills up the openings, makes the
particles adhere closer, causes them
to retain moisture better, to absorb
less heat during the day and TO retain
more at night. On clay soils it sepa-
rates the particles, making the soil
more porous, thus easier or the pas
sage of water and air, and therefore
makes the soil warmer and easier to
work. Lime also hastens the decay of
vegetable matter in the soil, which Of
course renders the nitrogen more avail
able. If soil is sour, an application
of lime will sweeten It. If green
crop is plowed under, an application Of
lime will prevent the soil from becom-
ing acid. There is one effect OF lime
that has no doubt frequently been no
ticed, although wrong conclusions have
been drawn from it. 1t has often been
experienced that an application of
lime proves very beneficial to clovers Of
all kinds. It was formerly thought
that the lime itself was the only fer
tilizer needed for the clover; it is now
known, however, that the beneficial ac-
tion Of the lime upon clover is due to
the fact that the lime liberates other
plant food in the soil, notably potash,
which is of so much Importance in sue
cessful clover culture. 1t will be seen,
however, that the continued applica-
tion of lime along would soon cause the
soil to become exhausted Of its natu-
raj supply, not only of potash, but also
OF phosphoric acid, and in time the
land would become clover sick, which is
condition often met with.-Farmers'

The following resolutions were

"We, the free silver Republicans of

standing upon the ground occupied by
the Republican party prior to last June,
unite In the following declaration Of
principles:
"FiTst-Thst we believe in an Amer
icsn system of commerce, and to this
end we advocate not only protective
tariff, but such legislation affecting
domestic and foreign transportation
and communication as shall facilitate
the exchange of commodities pro.
duced in this country.
"Second-Thst labor is the great
source from which nearly all, if not all,
human comforts and necessities are
drawn. That @ tariff that directly
benefits only the owners of wealth and
leaves the lsborer and producer Of
wealth the victim of free competition
with the underpsid labor of other
countries, is grossly unjust. For these
reasons we demand legislation to the
end that labor as well as capital shall
share the favor Of the Government.
"Third-Thst we insist upon the
right and duty of the Government,
both State and National, to exercise
such effective control over corpora
tions, trusts and sypdlcstes that they
shall exist, If at all, for the benefit Of
the people and not for their injury,
and that Legislatures, executives and
courts should be impressed with the
necessity of needing this reasonable
sdmonition. That we indorse the po
