Clover Meal.

Feed grinders are now made to grind
clover, the result being clover meal.
AS food for calves it has been found
excellent the meal being scalded at
night and allowed to remain until
morning. For ducks, geese and chick
ems, when mixed with ground grain, it
serves as heterogeneous diet and adds
greatly to the value of the whole. AS
an addition to the food of young pigs
it has given excellent results. When
scalded the clover meal swells, be-
comes soft and is very palatable. 1t is
not substitute for clover hay for
adults, however, but should be used
where ground grain is made a portion
of the diet for young stock.

Well.Arranged Apiary.

A well-arranged apiary that is simple
and convenient is thus described: The
hives are placed diagonally in the row
which runs southeast and northwest,
so that In each pair of rows the hives
front east in one and south in the other,
making each alternate alley free from
bees to be used as passageway to
work around the hives. The rows are
placed seven feet apart on centers, and
the hives four feet on centers. The
hives are so placed that a line drawn
from the rear of the first one will touch
the front Of that Immediately behind it.
There is one wide alley crosswise
through the center and In a large
apiary more alleys would be advisabt-

When the land has been plowed In
the fall the farmer sometimes objects
to cultivating or cross-plowing the
field early in the season because the
hardy weeds put in an appearance nj
most before frost leaves the ground.

have good garden the first requisite
is piece of strong but weil-drained
land, well MANFRED. 1t should not be
shaded with trees, nor should It be on a
northerly slope, IL possible to get a
southerly.. or easterly slope. Certain
lcrous belong IN permanent garden,
and may be IN one place for several
years The pie plant, asparagus, the
bush fruits'and grapes or peach trees
may be on the south side OF high
board fence at the north end of the
garden. In front Of these the hotbeds
hnd cold frames may be permanent fix
lures. Onions do well for many years
in the same locality, and so will celery
pr. carrots. though not so long. Sweet
corn may follow sweet corn for many
years in the same place, and so may
peas, but If it is desired to put In an
other crop after peas or early corn, 1t
is not SO easy to find the late crop that
grows well two years in the same To-
cality. Cabbages and turnips certain
lywill not. For this reason, when on a
farm, we preferred to move our gar
den, or at least the peas, corn, vines
of all kinds, beans and all roots to a
new location every few years, or so
often that we did not have the same
place oftener than once In five or six
years., Even for such crops as lettuce,
spinach, kale and dandelion a new To-
cality is better than to continue them
for many years, though sometimes
they can be changed about with other
crops. But with only village lot one
must change about, or omit some crops
for few years to get insects and
fungous diseases out Of the soil. II
one will take this trouble, and will be
sure to obtain good seed from reliable
seedsmen, and put in work enough to
keep it in good condition, the garden
will not only furnish half the living for
the family, but sales of surplus from
it may help greatly in buying the other
half.-American Cultivator.
~ FFff EGg Hotbcds.
Whoever has hotbed in which to
start early plants for setting in the
garden should also have a cold frame
into which he can transplant some OF
them to give them more room and
harden them up little before setting
them in the open ground. OF course
there are some who sow so late in the
hotbed that this is not necessary, but
they do not get their plants so well ad
vanced, and gain but week or two
when they should gain as many
months. Many are at a loss to know
when the temperature is right for sow
ing seed in the hotbed. The best way
is to use thermometer, as one fairly
good can be bought for few cents
Plants which require much heat tc
terminate In open air. like tomatoes
peppers, egg plants or melons, should
go in when the heat is at or about 9C
degrees, while cabbages, caulifowers
and other medium early plants will de-
better If the glass does not mark above
so degrees, and lettuce or radish would
sprout readily at 20 degrees.-Ex

CENSUS OF 1900.

A writer in the Washington Post
makes an interesting estimate as to what
the Forthcoming census figures will show.
The population, he says, has never failed
to double in thirty years. The value of
property may be questioned, but the av-
erage results would be the same 1t is
considered that the value Of property dou-
bles IN twenty years, which Is only 31a
per cent interest compounded. The as
sessed value for taxation was $16,OOO,-
OOO,O 900 in 1880, increased to $24 200, OO0,-
600 in 1899, but vast properties escape
taxation. Owing to the revulsion Of 1893
the assessed valuation has not probably
much increased; 500, 100000 is con-
venient for distribution, and may be re-
duced by percentages. In estimating
families larger number is given to
farmer,s family than to urban citizens

NJ Two farmers living near lola, Kan,
have received a 40,O0O-pound car Of
salt from Hutchinson, which they will
luse on their farm. Both have exteh-
sive farm interests which they look
after themselves. and they propose to
sow the salt with oats, wheat and fax,
on the theory that land 80 treated is
given the chemicals required by those
grains and In the belief that chinch
bugs will shun the fields, Some of their
impractical town friends have rather a
hankering for the belief that wheat 50
treated will grow loaves Of salt-rising
bread. At any rate the test Is one
which will be watched with interest,
and the farmers may reap good re-
turns from the 500 or more invested
by these gentlemen in an experiment.
