RAISING MEDICINAL HERBS.

The mountains of North Carolina
and Tennessee yield enormous quaint
ties Of medicinal herbs, the gathering
of which supports quite a population.
But nearly all of these herbs are gradu-
ally decreasing in number because of
the persistent gathering of the roots.
The time will come shortly when they
must be planted and ~artifcialIy cult
waited. There is an enormous demand
for all sorts Of medicinal herbs, and
for many of them the demand is on
the increase instead Of on the wane.
A lucrative business must be built ND
In time in raising the chief herbs for
the market. Already we find quite q
profitable business established in diff
erent parts Of the country in raising
herbs for market.
In New York and Michigan there
are several large peppermint farms
that raise nearly all of these plants
required for distilling the oil. Sage
farms are successfully conducted in
Massachusetts,, New York and Michi
gan. Nevertheless we import over
100 tons Of sage every year and pay
three cents a pound duty on it. The
American sage is much superior to
either the French or German. Ger,

WHEN TO CUT CLOVER FOR
HORSES.

The heterogeneous elements OF clover
are the most valuable for feeding pur
poses, and it is therefore essential to
cut the clover at the time Of their
greatest development, says the Mirror
and Farmer. Cutting the clover at
just the right time and curing it so as
to prevent the waste of those valuable
elements are among the fine arts OF
farming, for when so cut and cured
clover is one Of the cheapest stock foods
that the farm produces. The dissipa-
ton of the valuable nutritive elements
of clover and the Increase of woody
fiber between full bloom and the
ripened stage constitute a loss thet NO
farmer can afford to inCur. Prof.
Harry Snyder writes as follows, re-
garding the composition of clover and
it's various strages Of growth:
"The development Of the clover
plant, the second year after seeding,
shows that the time from early to full
bloom is the period of the greatest &C.
tivity In the plant. When clover ie
very young, and the flower head is yet
invisible, only about ten per cent. OF
the organic matter has been formed,
and this organic matter is very rich in
nitrogen. When the clover blossoms
first appear about one-third or lees Of

FEEDING HOGS FOR QUALITY OF
Mat.

An inquiry has recently come to the
Indiana Experiment Station from one
of our we'll known swine breeders, Nj
1. N. Baker, relative to the most desir-
able food for preparing pigs for the
market.
The market to day demands pork
with q fair mixture Of lean meat, such
as cannot be produced as a rule by q
pure corn diet. The best results will
be secured by using two or more kinds
of grain, and also akimmilk, IL it can
be obtained. The general run Of feed
ing experiments in this country have
shown that where corn meal and shorts
were fed the meat showed more lean
than when corn was fed alone. AT the
Wisconsin Experiment Station q mix.
ture of All pounds corn mean and
shorts, half and half, fed wet produced
100 pounds Of gain, az compared with
7S4 pounds whole corn, OF 617 pounds
corn meal, to make 100 pounds gain.
The shorts are muscle forming foods,
and where these are used a more Wig
orous pig usually results. Ground
barley or oats may also be fed with
corn to great advantage. There are
many farmers i'm Indiana who grow
oats extensively, besides corn, who
could feed them to stock hogs, with
corn, to far greater profit than selling
them at 13 cents per busheL.
In a letter to this station Mr.. Baker
says: my own experiments In feed
ing hogs to produce the best quality Of
meat have been similar to those You
speak Of and those Of Prof. w. A
Henry, only / did not feed as much
meal or corn. fed ground wheat AID
oats in equal parts, and not more than
one fourth corn. / also fed skimmilk
and ripe pumpkins in connection with
these, and secured q much larger per
cent. of lean meat than when fed ex-
clusively on corn, and also a much
stronger bone AID q healthier hog and
Of course better pork"
The farmers of Indiana ought not to
allow q pound Of skimmilk to go to
waste, from the creameries or farm
diaries. It can be fed to great prcfr
to growing pigs, for it will assist in
rapid flesh development. Corn, shorts
and skimmilk make q. combination
that will produce a high grade of pork.
Or wheat may replace the shorts.
These foods assist in producing flesh 60
rapidly as to enable the feeder TO dis
pose of his pigs to advantage when
young, yet of good weight.-Indians

The Burrows man of the Wisconsin
Farmer has the following:
Here is a statement by an Eastern
market gardener that seems hshy to
me, and l would like for some of the
boys who are readers Of this paper to
try iF and report to the Burrows man.
He says to cover q melon vine when it
is about Eve feet long with dirt, and
when it has put out new roots, as it
will do, the vine between the Old and
the new roots is to be cut, and all
melons growing on the new vine will
be seedless. Be careful, boys, for /
believe there il a sell in this.
A writer in Colman's Rural World
has tried it, but does not give the re-
suit This ia what he says:
A few days ago / layered q half dozen
vines Only one branch OF q vine.
When about four feet long, / picked
eff the leaves for about Is inches, COM
mencing six inches from the hill lay
ing it into q gutter three inches deep.
Mark the end of the vine with g little
stake, so as to know where the layer
is. In about three weeks will cut of
the vine near the parent plant, and it
the vine lives / will know it is rooted,
and then will Wait to zee il the melons
will be seedless or not. There Were no
definite instructions given, and have
therefore used my own Judgment IN
the matter.

GRAIN FoR HORSES.

Prof. Thomas Shaw, of the Mime
sofa Experiment Station, writes ID the
value of corn, oats and bran for horses,
and says the proportions Of corn aud
oats which are best for working horses
will depend somewhat upon the nature
Of the work, and somewhat on the
season of the year. The harder the
hores is being worked, it would be cor
rect to say, the larger the proportion
OF corn that may be given to him, and
the colder the weather, the more corn,
relatively, he may befed. But to keep
the system in tone, he should be given
oats and corn, and If some bran can be
added, heavy feeding can be continued
with safety for q longer period than
I'm the absence Of bran. When horses
are being worked hard, they will do
very well on a grain ration in winter,
two thirds Of which is corn, and in
summer, on q grain portion, one third
or one half of which is corn. But il
one fourth or one fifth Of the grain fed
is bran, there is much less danger of
digestive arrangement than when bran
Is not fed. So advantageous Is bran to
the grain food, that the aim should be
to feed some OF it during much Of the
year. The proportions named above
relate to sheIIed corn and TO weight
rather than bulk.
It would not be very material whether
the corn, oats and bran are all mixed
before feeding, or whether they are
fed separately; but even q horse tires
OF samenese; hence it may serve some
useful end, az whettting the appetite,
to feed the corn and oats separately,
that is to Say, to feed the corn morn
ing and evening in winter, and the oats
at noon, and in the summer to feed the
oats morning and evening, and the
corn at noon. The bran could be fed
with or the other OF these grains.
A horse weighing l. eco poundswould
require about Is to Is pounds of grain
per day; that ia to say, five or six
pounds at each Of the three feeds; but
care should be taken to lessen the
amount Of food when the work slack
ems and in proportion as it slackens.
