Turning Off Old Ewes.

When lambs come early in the sea-
son and are sold as milk lambs. the
dams, if aged, should be sold also soon
after the lambs. They will fetch a
higher price if sold then when in con-
dition for selling, than if sold later.
The better price is secured because of
the fact that the market is not over
stocked in the early months of sum-
mer as it is in the late months of
autumn, says the Farmer. But ewes
cannot be turned off at such a time
unless they are fat. To secure such
a result special pains may be necessary
in feeding such ewes while nursing
their lambs. 1t may be necessary to
use a considerable proportion of bar
ley, rye or corn in the grain given to
he dam while she is nursing her lamb.
This will prevent that falling off in
flesh that is likely to occur during the
nursing period unless some means is
taken to prevent it. When the lamb
is sold it may be necessary to feed a
low diet for a few days until the milk
flow ceases. The heavy grain ration
should then be continued. If there is
on hand at the same time a well-grow
rape pasture, the said pasture will do
the rest. If the rape is we'll grown 1t
will fatten the dam with but little
grain added. If the lambs are late,
then the ewes will of necessity be sold
in the fall. Here again the rape pas
ture will make them ready for sale
with but little outlay. Sheep owners
should try and market stock of this
class before the winter sets in.

the spores OF apple scab fungus will
begin their work with the increase
Of warmth. This, therefore, is the
time to buy spraying apparatus, if it
has not been already purchased. The
man whose trees have not been attack
ed is the man that wants to be first
in securing the advantages of spray
ing. The chief value of this operation
lies in the prevention of attacks. After
insects have fed extensively on the
foliage of the trees all the spraying
in the world will not cure the trouble.
It can only prevent further injury. We
earnestly urge every man that has
large interests in orchards or small
fruit plantations to secure a spraying
outfit and use it. Spraying has been
demonstrated to be of almost ines
timable value to every man that wants
to grow good fruit.
The opening up of the Alaskan gold
nelds promises to create d new mar
ket for fruit. The fruit raisers on the
Pacific coast are especially hopeful,
believing that they will be in a posi-
ton to do most of the supplying. The
building OF railroads into Alaska will
mean the necessity for hiring large,
numbers OF laborers. The opening OF
new mines will create numerous min
ing towns and some OF these will de-
velop into good sized cities. Though
Alaska bids fair to produce much of
the food stuff it needs. yet it will GER
talnly be a generation before tree
fruits of any kind will be extensively
produced. even on the islands off the
southwestern coast. The people that
go to this new region will be fruit
eaters, because they will be mostly
from American cities, where the
habit of fruit eating has been formed.
We believe the Pacific coast fruit
growers are right in expecting a new
market for their tree fruits in the
colder regions to the north of them.

Time of Planting Kafr Corn,


Though Ka1r corn is a dry country
plant, it yet requires a supply of mois-
ture to get it started. If it is planted
late it may do well, for it may get rain
enough to give it a start. But in most
OF our years, in the regions where it
pays to grow Kair, in the semi-arid
West, the late seeding cannot be ex-
pected to get sufficient moisture to
give it the proper start. During the
last season tests were made at the
Oklahoma agricultural college as to
the relative benefits of early and late
planting. The dates of planting were
April 4, II, 10, 26, May 16, %, 80, June
6, IL. Each plat contained 5,592 square
feet Of land. The yields of the plant
ings We're as follows: April 4, 1872
bushels per acre; April II, 34.6; April
10, 34.3; April 26, 30.3; May 16, 28.8;
May %, 22.8; May %, 2S.6; May 30,
24,O; June 6, 1874; June 10, 2.8. 1t
will be seen that the earliest planting
gave by all odds the best result, and
that the yields We're poorer the later
the paintings were made, with two ex-
ceptlons, The June paintings were
failures. The early planted grain got
the moisture that was needed for fill
ing and maturing, while the late sown
grains had to battle with the heat and
drouth of midsummer.

Those who assert that wine growing
countries are largely exempt from the
evils of intemperance need not point
to France in proof of their assertion.
The habitual use of wine often creates
the craving which seeks for such
stronger stimulants as absinthe or
Eermuth. OF about three thousand
prisoners in the department of the
Seine, in which Paris is situated, it is
officially stated, more than two thou

suicides induced by habits of intern

that thirty-four per cent of the young

This is a smooth perennial, with
erect or struggling g%laucous stems
three to six feet high, compound
leaves, which spring directly from the
ground, white flowers, blooming in
July and August, and a f1eshy root,
which has a m~uskrat-like, odor, and
which consists OF TWO very distinct
and characteristics parts. The more
conspicuous of these is the vertical
rootstock, which is from one to six
inches long by one or two thick, and
is c~uriously divided into numerous
chambers by horizontal partitions.
This rootstock furnishes the bulk of
the poison. The other portion OF the
root consists OF solid, fieshy fibers,
which run along on or just under. the

merous rootlets from beneath. The

This is a smooth, purple-spotted,
hollow-stemmed biennial, 2 to z feet

and snowy clusters of small white
flowers, which appear in July and
August. The seed is prominently
ridged, and has on it's inner surface a

Soil Particles,

A number of years ago experiments
were made at John Hopkins Univer-
slty to determine how many particles
there are in a gram Of loan soil. The
result was rather startling from a
mathematical standpoint. 1t was con-
GUIDED that there are in that amount
OF soil S,740. 000. 900 particles. We do
not know the process by which this
conclusion was arrived at, but GER
tatnly 1t was not by actual count.
however, the result was doubtless APP
prox1mately correct. The number is
far beyond human comprehension. For
this reason we are never able to fully
realize the principles OF capillary at
traction. Each one of these exceed
lngly minute particles is surrounded

TO the soil is thus apparent. Stirring
these soil particles pushes them so far
apart That the water films are not con-

An eminent physician lately called
attention to the important part wars
have taken in hospital development.
He declared that the Crimean war de-
veloped the trained nurse and the
training school. In the American civil
war, medical men learned that small
hospitals, and even hospital tents, are
better than large enclosed structures
for the sick and wounded. To the
knowledge thus gained is due the pa
vilion tent. 1t was war, also, it is as
serted, that led. not to the discovery,
but to the Introduction of antiseptic
surgery. Medical science will profit
by the conflict now in progress in
South Africa. Through disease and
wounds there treated, benefit will come
to the civilized world. Thus out of a
great evil may come a great good, for
war compels resort to every expedient
to save the lives of ones own soldiers,
no less than to destroy the lives of
those in the hostile army.

Whether or not it will pay a man to
plant Kafir corn will depend on the
state, and locality in a state, in which
he resides. 1t must be remembered
that Kafir corn is a blessing to farm
ers who reside in states with dimin-
ished rainfall or in localities in states
where rainfall m at the wrong
time of the year to greatly benefit
the growing crops. In states where
Indian corn can be grown to perfec-
ton it will not generally pay to grow
Kafr corn. We give this word of eau
ton at this time, because there is a
tendency to judge a plant by it's value
in some one locality. For Kansas, Ne
braska, and wherever the Indian corn
crop is cut short by drouth, Kafr corn
should be extensively grown. 1t will
stand drouth better than Indian corn,
and it's leaves will remain s~ucculent
for a long time after the leaves of In
dian corn have become dry and about
worthless. But even with Kafir corn
early planting is best on account of
the added amount of moisture it gets
from the spring rains. Once estab-
lished, it sends down its roots into
the moist earth below and can stand
the ordinary drouth of our western
summer.

not rare in the New England states
and in Michigan. 1t is infrequent in
Wisconsin, Illinois and California, but
in some localities in the latter state it
has a very rank growth.
The characteristic poison of the
hemlock is the w~ell-known volatile al
kaloid, CONNIE, which is found in the
seeds, and, especially at Towering
time, in the leaves. The root is nearly
harmless in March, April and May,
but is dangerous afterwards, especial
ly during the first year of it's growth.
Many domestic animals have been
killed by eating the plant. AS this
plant does not often occur in great
quantity in the United States, it may
usually be destroyed by hand-pulling
before maturity.
