nigh Feeding ana Garset


AS the COW or other breeding animal
approaches time of parturition, high
feeding, either to stimulate milk flow
Or to make it richer, should for the time
be suspended. OF the two, the kinds
that tend to make the milk richer, or, in
other words, to fatten the COW, are
worst. But we should not advise any
farmer to feed heavily with grain which
will cause fever and make the animals
feverish, though this. may be nature's
effort to lesser the milk flow so that
the udder can hold it. The food should
be laxative rather than cons tipahng..
Ensilage andlroots Of all kinds are good
if not given in too large amounts. The
only grain given should be three or four
nubbins Of corn daily until the calf is
dropped. Il The COW will eat these readi-
ly, and they will cleanse the stomach
preparatory to the time when partur:--

level of the stable floor at A A. These
openings are provided with ordinary
registers, with valves, to be opened and
closed when desired. Two other VEN
tilators are placed at B B, to be used
when the stable is too warm, but are
provided with valves, to be closed at
other times. C is direct 12-inch VEN
tilator leading into the main shaft and
opening from the ceiling so as to admit
a current of warm air at all times to the
main shaft to help force the draft.
This ventilating shaft is made of gal
vanized iron, the upper portion being
three feet in diameter. The covering
on the outside is simply for architect
ural effect. The air enters the stable
at various points as shown in the plan
at F G and in the vertical section by
arrows at F G.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Soil for Asparagus,

Asparagus thrives best on combina-
ton of a&good soil with perfect drain
age. If the. good drainage is absent,
heavy, compact soiris the worst place to
try to grow it. The plant is frequently
grown In sandy land, and is thought by
some to do we'll in no other, for therea-
son that sthe drainage requirement is
not fully appreciated. Asparagus be-
gins to grow very early in the spring,
before ordinary land is dry enough to
go on; therefore,5it requires land in
which water does, not stand. Aspara-
gus growth, however, is mostly water,
SO that heavy soil which will retain a
certain amount of water and not leach
itself dry is really desirable to secure
long-bearing season. c,s: !,.,..

POTASH IN ORCHARDS
Healthy Leaves ana Buds That
Are Well Developed.

An excess of nitrogen usually tends
toward wood production and an in
creased growth, at the expense, it is
thought, of the crop Of fruit. Potash
and phosphoric acid, on the other
hand, are supposed to promote the gem
eral vigor of the tree, and increase the
quantity and improve the quality of
the fruit. It is thought that potash
imparts high color to peaches and
strawberries, and covers grapes and
plums with deep bloom; but it's eff
feet on the fruit has not yet been thor
oughly studied. ~" j.: 'f , a. 81 ri
The experience of many large fruit
growers favors the use of potash in
fertilizing orchards. It is commonly
applied in the form of muriate, from 200
to 800 pounds per acre being considered
an economical dressing if the orchard
receives an application each year. ]
often wonder if the practice is not
sometimes carried too far, and if com
plete fertilizer would not, in many
cases, give better results. Mn j.,
The result of experiments in the fer
tilizing of peach orchards at the New
Jersey experimental station shows the
greatest yield of fruit per acre where
muriate of potash and nitrate of sods
were applied, but potash gave much
better results than either nitrate O:
soda or phosphoric acid alone. POTASH
seemed to promote a certain vigor ant
thrift which were lacking in trees de
prived of it. Potash has proved TIL
most valuable of the single elements
the net gain being greater than wher'
barnyard manure was used. The larg
est net gain, however, came from usinl
a complete fertilizer. S. D. Willard, tn
well-known western New York horti
culturist, says: I'm order to have goo'
hard wood, healthy leaves and well-de
veloped buds, we must rely upon potas]
and phosphoric acid."-Prof. w. T

ARE CREATE PLEASED WITH
WESTERN CANADA.

w. r. Milburn, John Holmes, NJ. r.
Dagger, 2. L., Stetson, of Buena Vista
County, Iowa, report assfollows of the
Canadian Northwest as to it's situa-t
bility for farming, and the; advantages
it offers to the agricultural immigrant
from the United States: Eve came here
solely to look up improved farms and, il.
suitable, to select such as pleased US
best. We have not visited the home
stead districts at all, though we believe
them to be very inviting. Our inquiries
have been confined solely to the district
around Hartney, Deloraine and towards
the Souris River in Manitoba. Our inn
pressions Of all that region are in every
way satisfactory, and we have decided
to go back to Iowa at once, and, having
disposed of our several interests there,
to return to Manitoba in the month Of
March next, and, effecting our purchase
of improved farms, which we find we
can do unreasonable rates, Immediately
begin farming. We are greatly pleased
with all that we have seen in that part
of Western Canada. The soil we find
to be more than equal to that of our
own country for wheat-growing, and
the other conditions of climate, schools,
! markets, ETC., are all that we could wish
for. ,5.... .t .'.'.5
ITO show what an energetic man can
do we may mention that we found one
such at Hartney who had rented farm
on shares, receiving two-thirds of the
returns: as his share of the crop. When
he came to sell his own produce he
found that his two-thirds, when con.
verified into cash, was enough to buy the
farm he rented out and out, which he
accordingly did, and is now it's owner
It is our intention to induce as many OF
our friends as possible, who are prac.
teal farmers, to remove, from Iowa tc
this country, where we believe there is
a better future for the Industrious man
than is now to be found anywhere or
this continent. We are we'll known ir
our part of the State of Iowa, and we
invite correspondence from its resi-
dents in all parts with regard to Thu
region of Western Canada which w
have visited, and to which we intend t.
return"
