Fertility Of Cowpeas.

In planting corn last year | used for
the first time a check row planter, and
with the result that had a little strip
next to the lane implanted by reason of
not enough chain. This strip | sowed
In cowpeas, thinking they could be cut
and thrown over to the COWS. For some
reason it was not done until we we're
ready to harrow up the corn ground for
wheat, at which time the peas were
ripe. The COWS ate only few of them
the majority being trampled on the
ground, and to-day | was surprised tc
ind that the grass where the cowpeas
had been thrown was of much darker
green than that nearby. l had always
supposed that the greater part of tie
fertilizing value of cowpeas was in the
roots, and that large part is in the
roots | know by my own experience.
But from this limited test it would seem
that there is also fertility to a great de-
gree iD the tops. Just why this plant
is not more widely grown fail to see,
for it certainly is one of the most valu-
able leguminous plants that we have
for restoring the fertility of the soil.
And as money crop it is not to be
despised, as the seed is generally as
high as beans. The past year believe
that cowpeas brought even more than
beans did.-Cor. National ,StOckman.

Winter and Summer Butter.

On looking through the November
Epitomist notice an article by Nv.
o." claiming that winter and summer
butter should be treated differently. l
used to think the same way, but have
found out by experience that it may be
treated in nearly the same manner win
ter and summer, and the butter be first
class. This cannot be done by shallow
setting, but by straining directly into
the can after milking. The can should
then be set in cold water in the summer,
and in winter either in water or plunged
'-Ans snowbank, or, if there is cold
blowing, as we often have here, it
be left in the wind until cool
~, .gh, or at about 45o temperature
Then bring it into a room of $50. 1t
should be skinned when it has stood
forty-eight hours. The cream is left in
the same room until the night before
churning, when it should be set into a
room of TOO. 1t should be often stirred
while ripeniug, and good watch should
be kept that it does not get too ripe. -
As l have stated before, a thermometer
is a necessity in dairying. Cream should
be churned at about $50, not any less
in the winter time. The only difference
we make between summer and winter,
is, that instead of setting into the room
we carry it down cellar after it is cooled
in the summer. The creamis also left
down cellar until ready to churn. Dur.
ing our hottest weather last summer We
have had no soft butter, and We expect
to have it equally as good through the
winter by the same process. The quicker
the animal heat is out Of the milk the
better the cream will rise Some of The
best dairymen, who have had many
years experience, treat their milk il
this manner, and their butter command,

neighborhood of NV. o" l think
could convince him that it was not ne

the milk in the winter time.

Poultry Notes.

Good food is positive economy.
Milk for young ducks is safer if boiled
If you chop vegetables for the hens
chop them fine.
Bear in mind that in breeding, like
begets like.
Boiled oats are recommended for max
ing hens lay.
Pepper is q stimulant and not food,
and must be carefully fed.
Millet seed in small quantities may
pro6tably be fed to hens.
Too much feed produces laziness and
laziness produces disease in hens.
Oil cake, mixed with corn, oats and
bran, is excellent for melting hens.
When a hen does not sit her time out,
look for lice, mites or bedbugs.
Rye is not recommended for hens
Unless very hungry they will not eat it.
Pure drinking water and clean yards
will do great deal toward preventing
gapes.
The man who permits geese to roost
in barn does not care much for clean
illness.
One ounce Of ground bone to each
fowl, every third day, is what our poul-
tryman feeds.
You cannot raise feas and chickens
in the same hen house and be success
full with the latter
Blood on eggs is pretty sure to indi-
cate that the hen is too fat and the
organs are crowded.
The late Matched chickens should be
fattened for the table, for they will be
worthless for laying or breeding stock.
A full feed of corn, all they will eat,
Just before going to roost, will gil the
gizzards of the fowls and aid in main
tanning animal heat.
We do not believe it pays to wait un-
til cold and stormy weather is upon us
before providing the proper shelter pro-
lection of the poultry, but many do.
If any broilers are to be raised for
market the incubator must be brought
into use or the business cannot be con-
Quoted on large enough scale to make
the effort profitable.
A lot of frosted combs not only causes
the hens to look unsightly, but is also
very improbable to the breeder. Frosted
combs and eggs cannot be found in pay
ing quantities in the same pen.
The best way to learn to care for
large number Of hens is to start with
small pen; then by giving them lots of
attention and carefully Watching and
studying them, they will teach you
rapidly and we'll.
The morning ration Of warm mash
always should be given as soon as the
fowls can see to eat it. At noon, two
quarts of wheat scattered 10 the litter is
sufficient for fifty fowls. Feed grain
literally at night

Feed and Water Regularly.

One has no idea until he experiments
how much depends upon the regularity
with which stock is watered and fed
Once a day in winter is not often enough
to water stock, and ice cold wator should
never be given. Water with the chill
of, but not sickly warm, should be in
reach of all stock at least three times
each day. Feed at given hour each
day. Make your duties allow you this
Find how much is needed by each AMI
NAL, and give this quantity each time
Everything will thrive better fed thus
than to have feed and half to-day
and half feed tomorrow. Weigh anC
measure all things. Have some rule
Don't guess. This is business.

A large farm can be worked more
economically, proportionately, than {
small one, as machinery can be made
more effective on the larger farm, but
the smaller the area the more thorough
" can the cultivation be given and crops
derived will be large per acre. The
small farm permits of the obtaining o.
more valuable crops and the use of hand
implements, by which the soil is better
worked. Fertilizers can also be used
to the best advantage on small farms
and the manure is a valuable item
while on large farm the manure must
be applied over larger surface, thus
providing but limited amount of PLAN
food.

On almost every eastern farm there
is some land that either by nature or be-
cause its fertility has been exhausted
must go to waste. If this land is infer
tile or rocky, naturally. it may not pay
to reclaim it. But if its fertility has
been exhausted it can almost always be
cheaply restored 1t is more likely to
be deficient iu mineral plant food than
in heterogeneous. Supplies of phosphate
and potash, and often potash alone, will
make clover grow. aud when there is
once a good clover seeding nature will
do whatever else is needed to restore
fertility.

At one Of the farmers institutes in
New Jersey Mr.. Woodward made an
address on Chestnut Culture, its Pos.
sibilities." He said there we're very
few farm products that would yield SC
large a return for the capital and labor

cbestnuts care must be taken to put
them on congenial soil, or failure is apt
to result. Tbs chestnut does better upon
an open soil, with deep. porous, well

Farmers who buy wood ashes are com.
PEELED to take several risks. 1t is mo-
often that any two loads of wood as hes
contain the same percentage of potash,
and as ashes are made heavier in damp
weather by the extra proportion o
water absorbed the farmer pays fol-
weight which is not of advantage to
him. 1t Is well to save all ashes pro-
duced on the farm, but the proper way
to procure potash is to purchase the sui
phate or muriate, as they will give bet
ter results in proportion to cost.
