One must look toward forming a per-
manent compost heap to secure the
best advantages from a home manure
supply. Too many Of us are inpatient
in using the compost, and as a result
we spread it over the land when it is
too coarse to do much good. The finer
the compost is the richer it will prove
as far as immediate availability of it
is concerned. OF course, some soils
of very open, porous nature require
coarse manure to put them in the right
mechanical condition, but otherwise
we need to have the coarse material
decomposed in the yard rather than
in the fields.
We should use all of our waste ma
terial in the compost heap, but in do
ing so We should remember that some
rots much quicker than others. Broken
rye straw is almost the last of such
waste material to decompose. After
it has been used in the stable until
pretty well broken up, it should be
placed at the bottom Of a heap along
with forest leaves. On top of this
waste bucllwheat straw, wheat and
oat straw should be placed. All of
this must accumulate on the farm, for
after being used for several years in
covering seed cabbages and the like
it becomes too broken to be of much
further use. BY burying this straw
for several seasons it becomes OF great
value for manurial purposes. 1t is
thoroughly decomposed, and is very
rich humus.
Straw that is only half rotten and
then spread over the field will not he
of much use for year or two. In the
permanent compost heap straw is cas-
lily converted into desirable food for
plants. On top of this all sorts of
waste material can be placed. Each
year by adding new layers and taking
for the fields only the under part.
good, permanent manure pile can be
depended upon. In the desire to get
results quickly we are very apt to use
up the coarse and fine compost each
year, while much of it would be far
better if saved for another season,
when it would be thoroughly seasoned
and decomposed.-T. l.. Finegan, in
American Cultivator.

No two branches of farm life go
hand in hand so well as fruit and
poultry. Both thrive together, and
each assists the other. Fruit trees
are free from insects if poultry has
the run of the orchard, and the fowls
gather much food that they relish,
and which keeps them in healthy
condition. Many kinds of worms, cat
erpillars and bugs swarm around the
rrees, and flock of poultry will soon
,ause them to disappear.
The house and coops should be To-
Gated in the midst of the orchard, and
the hens will enjoy the cool shade of
The trees. But under no condition
should the hens be permitted to roost
In the trees. 1t is bad for the hens,
and in few years will kill the trees.
Compel them to occupy the house at
night, but let them have the run of
the entire orchard during the day.
Select pure breed of any variety
that you fancy most, and they
will repay you many times over for
the trouble and cost of outlay Fruit
and poultry are always in demand, and
the combination will make both bet
ter.-Home and Farm.

Fattening Old Cows.

There are those who think it does
not pay to fatten old cows, but we do
not agree with them. Give one fresh
or farrow in the spring, a good pas
ture, and regular grain feed every
day during the summer and they can
be made to pay for their grain until
fall, and they will continue to gain in
flesh all the season. Then little
succulent food, as soft or immature
corn, waste vegetables, pumpkins and
such stuff as seems to cost nothing
on the farm, and they will be in condi-
tion to take on fat very rapidly when
the grain feed is increased. We know
this because we have tried it. Beef
that is made in that way may not
bring the highest price when sold to
the slaughterer, but when put on the
bench to be retailed out it will be as
good as much of the steer beef that
the market men handle, and it will be
sold at the same prices. A marketman
once told us that a COW we had fat
tened in that way was as pretty a
piece of beef as he ever cut up. She
did not have much tallow, but the
meat was well mixed with fat all
through it, and if the loins or rump
were not as heavy as prime steer beef,
they were good enough for the usual
customers, and such as was salted or
corned was as good as the best.-The

THE LARGEST HARVESTER.
1t Is Self Moving, Cuts n So Foot Swatl
and WEIGHS Over 100 Tons.

1t Is Self Moving, Cuts n 36-F Foot Swath
and WEIGHS Over 100 Tons.
What is said to be the largest auto
mobile in the world, and the largest
combined harvester, as well, is now at
work on big ranch in central Califor-
MIA, where it is being used in cutting
10000 acres of barley. The big ma
chine consists of traction engine,
capable Of handling rs tons,
and which takes the place of 60
horses, header or moving machine,
which cuts a swath SO feet, and
threshing machine all complete. The
threshing machine and header are run
by a 80 horsepower engine, entirely
separate from the traction machine,
save that they both get steam from the
same boiler.
The apparatus moves over the ground
at different speeds, according to the
thickness of the crop, while all the
time the header and thresher are going
at full speed, whether the grain be
thick or thin The average speed made
is three and a half miles an hour and

machine.
The drive wheels of this monster
traction engine are eight feet in diam
eter and have tires 4S inches
wide, on which are ridges an inch and
half high. Eight men are employed
on the thresher. Half q minute after
the header starts to work the threshed
grain begins to fall into the sacks on
the other side from where it is cut,
while the straw falls into cart behind
The heads are carried away from the
header by draper, or moving belt
As inches wide. They are car
ried through a colander which breaks
the beard from the barley and shells it
at the same time, then by a narrow
belt through two cleaners and finally
to a bin, from which it is sacked The
sacks are sewed and set aside as fast
as filled. When 12 sacks have been
filled they are allowed to slide off the
cart on which they are stacked to the
ground Likewise when the straw
cart is full it is dumped.
This giant automobile is &C feet
long and half as wide, weighing over
hundred tons. 1t uses oil as fuel, ne
cessitating the use of four horses to
haul oil and the water for the boiler
as 1t travels around large acreas.

Potash for Vegetables.

Potash, when needed for vegetables
cannot well be given in better shape
than in unleached wood ashes. In
their absence German potash salts
sometimes gives good results on to-
matoes, potatoes, etc. But since pot
ash in the form of sulphate costs about
seven cents a pound, and in that Of
muriate of kainit only about four
cents, the first is not advisable. Ex-
cessive applications Of muriate are al
ways risky, however, as the chlorine
in it is hurtful to many plants. In a
piece of ground dressed with 600
pounds OF muriate of potash per acre,
and planted in potatoes, most of the
plants were killed outright, and the
rest made sickly vines, and small and
scabby tubers. Even the year follow
ing, the crop on the same piece Of
ground was smaller and more scabby
than on adjoining plots. Perhaps a
oetter way is to use an A No. l manu-
'actured fertilizer.-The Optimist.

In order to promote successful
swine husbandry there are a few
things that it will be we'll to keep in
mind. If We maintain the number
Of brood sows at the present figure,
whatever that may be, and breed
wisely, the wealth of the state may be
greatly increased. There has been
too much of tendency for brood
sows to produce litters small in num-
ber, and as one goes about among
the breeders reports are frequent of
litters of four and five pigs. There
are several causes for this, but one is
a matter of inheritance. Sows from
pigs that have farrowed such small lit
ters should not be used for mothers.
A process Of selection should be
adopted, and every breeder should
have a standard to be adhered to, ex-
cepting under unusual circumstances.
Sows should farrow litters of eight or
more, and should easily rear, barring
accident, litters of ten at least, if that
number are farrowed. Bears from
large litters, if possible, should be
used for service, so that the tendency
will be to develop the prolific habit.
If one is breeder, the difference be-
tween profit and loss is often one of
size of litter If our breeders will Sc
lect large, roomy, well matured sows,
from prolific families, and will mate
them to strong boned, thick feshed,
b]ocky, short legged boars, they will

During the past Is years l have
shipped out something over 5000 bas-
kets of eggs for Matching and have had
some queer, some funny and some ag-
gravating experiences. A few years
ago the express agents used to toss
the baskets of eggs about as they
would basket of rags. They don't do
it any more. When eggs are properly
packed and plainly addressed it is only
by real accident that they are brok-
en-. Many of the eXpressmen are fan
ciers themselves and they handle eggs
very carefully considering the limited
time they have to do their work in. All
they ask is that the package shall be
plainly addressed. If the address is
plain enough to be read at glance,
and so complete that he can tell exact
ly where they are shipped to they will
be handled right. Fresh and fertile
eggs, full count and careful packing
holds customers, if the stock is good.
Good customers are reasonable. They
want fair treatment, but they don't
want the earth. Cranky customers are
unreasonable They don't know what
fair treatment is. They want the earth
for a nickel and a fence thrown in.
The less one has to do with them the
better off he is. Not long ago one
wrote me Immediately after receiving
his eggs saying they were no goood be-
cause he shook them and they were
loose in the she'll" Another called
me all the names he could think of
because he had ordered Barred Rock
eggs and the chicks Matched had
white on their heads and were not
barred at all. requested him to wait
until the feather came and write again.
l heard nothing more from him. When
one finds he has crank on his hands
the best plan is to ignore him entirely.
Explanations and fair offers are vast

Moving Bees in Hot Weather.

When moving bees during hot
weather, give them plenty of ventila-
ton. The hive cover should be re-
moved and a cover of wire gauze be
placed on the hive. Better still, if the
bees are to be moved any great dis
lance, make rim just the size of the
hive and about two inches deep and
the wire netting tackled to this. The
space between the top bars and the
wire will give the bees space to
cluster and eXpel the heat and pre-
vent the combs from melting down;
bees become very much excited and
overheated when shut in, and when
possible should be moved at night. To
make them still more comfortable,
place wet sponge on the top of each
hive, and drive slowly.

Few people know the real worth OF
the guinea fowl. She holds the cham
pionship as an egg producer, scarcely
taking a day off. The eggs, while
seemingly small, afford quite as much
eating as the average hens egg, for
the reason that the shell is very full.
In quality they are superior to other
eggs and possess finer flavor.
Another very valuable feature, and
one to which many object, is their con-
tinual racket. Their cry of puck
wheat" is no more annoying than the
quacking of a duck, but the ear-pierc-
ing screech is only occasioned by the
approach of danger. This is their
means of defense, and while they are
defending themselves the other fowls
are safe and well. There is no danger
of chicks being carried on by hawks
if there are gulneas around. Upon
the approach of hawk he is greeted
by such a volley of screams and cries
as to frighten him away. Should he
be daring enough to come on, ne will
be met in the air by the guinea, who
will give him battle, as l have seen
demonstrated many times with my
own guineas. 1t is generally the cocks
that exhibit SO much bravery, and the
hen with chicks.
Although the guinea hen hides her
nest, she unknowingly reveals her Sc
cret. On the nest she utters pecul-
lar cry every few minutes, which is
different from that made at any other
time. By this means the nest is cas-
lily found. The flesh of the guinea is
dark, like that of wild game. The
young are very good eating, as the
flesh is tender, sweet and gamy.-Fred
w. Halves, in American Agriculturist.

a greater frequency of such storms

appears that Madrid observations for
20 years give similar evidence. The

The prominence volcanic forces
have had in all time and in all places
is well illustrated in a recent paper
by Professor j. w. Gregory, present
ed to the Royal Society of Victoria.
The author gives an account of the
geology of Mt. Macedon, an isolated
mountain ridge, which, though 40
miles distant, is one of the most con-
spicuous features in the views from
Melbourne. 1t consists of volcanic
pile resting on Ordovician rocks. The
igneous outbursts may have COM
menced in late Cretaceous times, but
there is no certain proof. The noun
tain, however, probably marks the be-
ginning of the great period of vol
canic activity of which the last erup-
tions built up still existing craters,
and of which records are preserved
ir the legends of the Victorian abor-
igines.
