TILE DRAINAGE.

As an Aid In Combating Weather COndi-
tions and Securing Even Crops.
The expense of tile drainage is rather
appalling to the farmer with no ready
money at hand. The Prairie Farmer.
however, affirms that, when land needs
it, it is the safest investment hard
pushed or a full handed farmer can
make. This journal says:
Realizing that we must have crops
that would pay us for our labor, we
commenced putting down tile. While
results have not been as speedy or
bountiful as some instances of which
we read, still they have been paying
and satisfactory. Wheat sown on land
previous to tile drainage would come
out from freezes looking brown and
dead. The favorable days between
freezes would hardly suffice to restore
its healthy color-such of it as escaped
killing.
With tile drained soil it is different.
The warm sup of pleasant days is not
exhausted as a tonic to recuperate weak
plants, but gives its whole strength as
warmth to plants that are strong and
ready to receive all heat that the sun
may give, with the result of looking
green and fresh after freeze, instead
of brown and dead. A farmer that has
wheat sown on land needing tile is a
slave to weather conditions. He is abso-
lutely creature subject to untoward
circumstances and in time concludes
that he is unfortunate in his farming.
After trying to grow clover for years
on undrained land we can fully appre-
ciate seeing the plants in the spring
with the crowns down fiat on the sur
face the roots being anchored deep in
the soil and constantly going deeper in
search of plant food that gives such
strong growth to the plant above ground.
A clover plant with it's crown down
on the surface when the warm spring
rains come ard the bright suns rays,
is in condition at once to commence
growing. No time is lost in trying to
get frost lifted roots planted in the soil.
When land needing tile does not get
it, the crops on part of the field may be
good and failure on the remainder.
With the proper amount of tile, the
crops can be made even all over the field.

Sorghum as a Forage Plant.


In relating his experience with sor-
ghum as forage plant Waldo f. Brown
says i'll Prairie Farmer: For five years
! have grown this plant for summer
feeding of cattle, and in 1897 grew
several tons of it for winter feeding
have never found anything that would
produce so much feed to the acre or that

knowledge will endure drought SO well

son. l have grown at the rate of 16 tons

after it was six inches high until it ma.
tured and have proved that ID head Of
cattle can be fed two months on the
product of single acre.
When grown for summer feeding, we
seed at the rate of from four to five
pecks per acre, drilling it in with the
wheat drill, using all Of the hoes, and
sowing from the 10Th of May to 1st Of
July on a clean, thoroughly mellow
seed bed. When grown to be cured for
winter, more seed should be used-prob-
ably about two bushels per acre will be
best.

News and Notes.

According to the report of the United
States department. of agriculture, the
basic belt of the sugar beet industry
may be regarded as included between
the limits of the isotherms of l and SO
degrees, the best results being obtained
within or north of this belt
Many western and southern farmers
regard grinding cob and corn together
for feed as Improbable, but in New
England it is common practice.
Currants like shade and moist rich
soil.
Wireworms are the Larvae of the
black snap beetle. For exterminating
them frequent blowing and narrowing
is the usual course.
Somebody says that putting the dry
outside peel of onion into the nest of
sitting hens makes it disagreeable for
hen lice.
A record of the location of under
ground drains on the farm often comes
handy.
An extra pinch of nitrate of soda to

EXCURSION ROUTE BOOK

PENNSY LyANIA RAILROAD 1898 SUMMER
EXCURSION ROUTE BOOK.
On June the Passenger Department OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will

cursion Route Book. This work is designed
to provide the public with short descriptive
notes of the principal Summer resorts of
Eastern America, with the routes for reach
ing them, and the rates of fare. There are
over four hundred resorts in the book to
which rates are quoted, and over fifteen
hundred different routes or combinations
of routes. II is complied with the utmost
care and altogether is the most complete
and comprehensive handbook of Summer
travel ever offered to the public.
1t is bound in handsome and striking
cover, in colors, and contains several maps,
presenting the exact routes over which
tickets are sold. It is also profusely illus
trated with fine half-ione cuts of scenery at
the various resorts and along the lines of
the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Dairy and Creamery.

A deep cistern walled up and sealed
over in the jug shape has been found
excellent for keeping milk, butter and
cream cool. The vessels containing the
dairy products are plunged into the wa
ter. If the eistern is deep enough, this
water is always COOL Those fortunate
enough to have deep wells of ice cold
water can testify to their convenience
for cooling and keeping cool butter and
cream.
After you have had experience you
will be able usually to tell by the looks
and taste of soured cream when it is
ripened just right for churning A good
way is to hold cream steady at tenn
perature of so degrees till it begins to
sour Then, says Governor Hoard, who
gives these directions, if it is held at
that temperature about ID hours longer
it will be about right for churning. 1t
will be thiokened, "have a smooth,
glossy surface and when the Iadle is
moved through it will wrinkle up in
front of the ladle. If some of the cream
is lifted up on the ladle, it will run off
in smooth stream, and when the last
drops fall in the cream they will leave
little pits or dents. AS the cream runs
off the ladle it will be left with an even
covering of cream. The cream will not
run off in streaks.
One of the Hood farm Massachusetts,
Jersey COWS when fresh after her second
calf gave in one week 242 pounds
ounces of milk, which made Is pounds
u ounces of butter.
Here is COW ration that has proved
very satisfactory in the northern states
in dry feed time: Six pounds bran,
pounds cornmeal, 8 pounds ground
oats, 2 pounds oatmeal, 30 pounds en-
silage, 10 pounds roots for juiciness and
relish and all the clover or timothy hay
the COW will eat. 1t is liberal feeding,
but it paid. A ration is food for "a
hours, whether it be divided into two or
three feeds.
1t has been found at the factories that
while butter made from separated cream
requires to be washed only once in the
churn, that from raised and SKINNED
cream needs two washings Here is a
lesson. One of the crying needs of the
day on dairy farms is the use of the
separator, hand or power
We hear recently excellent reports
from the Ayrshires. A New York cream
cry patron had herd of 40 Ayrshires
that averaged GAIT pounds of milk
each, by weight, at the factory, not
counting what was taken out for family
use at home. They had silage of corn
for ten months in the year and in the
summer had no feed but half bushel
of silage each per day in addition to
pasture These pretty Ayrshires pro-
duced milk very cheaply for their owner.
We have lately seen one argument
urged in favor of the Holstein- Friesian
breed that we had not thought of before.
It is that they produce such large
yield that there will always be left an
immense quantity of skimmilk for feed
ing the pigs, calves, hogs, chickens, ETC.
There is something in that.

HORSE ACTION.

Low Shoppers Have Their Proper Place as
Fast Travellers.
The essential quality of good hack,
according to Nimrod in the celebrated
letters which he wrote 20 years ago. is
that he should go near the ground and
go safe. A horse can go near the ground
and not trip, and go high and be 'tan
arrant tumble down." The safest ami
NAL that ever came under the observa-
ton of Nimrod was in his own family
for 10 years. She was mare that
touched every stone that she passed her
foot over, but never made mistake.
Safety of action depends not on the tax
ing up of the foot. but in the putting
of it down. "When the leg is bent as
In action in the form of G and the
foot suspended in the air, turning in
ward, with a curve toward the body,
were it in that state to come in contact
with stone or any other substance, it
would pass over it without resistance,
being, as it were, at that time in fac
cid state, but when the foot approaches
the ground the limb is extended and
the whole weight of the fore quarters is
about to be thrown upon it. If, then,
the base for this weight be not even and
firm, if the toe dig into the ground be-
fore the bearing is completed, trip, and
a dangerous one, is the consequence F"
The horse that goes close to the ground,
landing properly on his heels, husbands
his strength and gives us the highest
rate of speed with the least exertion.
The Arab horse has not great rate of
speed because his action is high, and a
critic like Nimrod would not select him
for the saddle. The action of the Eleo-
tioneer family is the lowest of all trot-
ting families, and it has given US ex-
IRENE speed in the first and second gen.
erations. Sunol, 20814, to high wheel
sulky on kite track; Palo Alto, 2 :08 q
as a stallion to high wheel sulky. and
Arion, 2:10A, as 2-year-old to high
wheel sulky, are from the loins of Eleo-
tioneer. These are top records of their
kind. Fantasy, who has a 3-year-old
record of 2:0824 and 4-year-old rec
ord of 2:06, is by Chimes, son of Elec-
tioneer, and SO is The Monk, who holds
the championship 4-year gelding
record, 2:08A. Azote, 2:0434, is by
Whips, another son of Eleetioneer
These are striking illustrations of the
extreme speed capacity of family that
goes close to the ground. Those who
find fault with horses that do not step
high fly in the face of facts and observ-
ing critics. Field and Farm.

Potatoes are usually planted after
blowing under alfalfa. Two crops can
then be successfully produced. Some
farmers raise the two crops in success
sion, while others raise wheat crop
between. The former is the better way,
as the land is usually too rich for the
wheat if only one potato crop is raised
Besides, it often happens that the rails.
ing of one potato crop does not entirely
kill the alfalfa, in which case it comes
up in the wheat next year and smothers
it, making it difficult to harvest Usu-
ally the second crop Of potatoes is the
better. Irrigation Review.
