Tho Dairy Improving the Farm.

The change from wheat to butter
farming has produced wonderful in
crease in fertility, so that to-day
splendid crops of grain, corn and
grass are grown. For every ton OF
wheat the farmer sold they took out
OF the soil 81 worth of fertilizer. For
every ton Of butter sold, only 80 cents
worth of fertility is disposed of. Such
a change effect on soil of two methods
of farming must. in the very nature
of things, show for itself.
On hundreds OF farms that we know
of it is becoming a matter of some
difficulty to grow oats ON account of
the falling down or lodging" as it is
commonly called. of the grain before
it is fit to cut. This effect is due to
the large per cent. OF nitrogen in the
soil, and is especially noticeable on
the farms whose owners have been
large buyers of bran and gluten for
years past. Carrying a stock of cows,
young cattle and hogs, and buying
bran, has done this work. Not only
has this policy made the farms rich,
but it has made the farmers rich.-

Climatic influence on Crops.

The climate has much to do with
the quality of the product. Years ago
it was noticed that wheat from
France, when cultivated in Canada,
had to be acclimated before it gave
satisfactory crops. Climate also has
an important influence ON the proper
ton OF gluten and starch in wheat
the wheat grown in warm climate
containing more gluten. proportion
ately, which is equivalent to q larger
amount of nitrogen. Wheat contains
the largest amount Of gluten in proper
ton when it is ripe. In an experiment
made with variety it was found that
when wheat was cut eighteen days
before it was ripe it contained only
six per cent. Of gluten, but when fully
ripe it contained twelve per cent; but
as gluten is not quite as white as
starch it will follow that when wheat
is cut little before it is dead ripe it
will make whittier flour than when
1t is cut at later period. but it will
be less nutritious and less in guam
tity. These conditions are, however.
subject to the variety of wheat and
the climate and soil.

One time rich farmer told me that
the best time to go into stock or grain
was when everybody wanted to quit.
He didn't own all the land that joined
him. but he did own several hundred
acres of good farming land and he
held n first mortgage ON a lot m ere.
Outside of this particular notion OF his
he was just like other people. The in
dications are good that those who
raise poultry the coming season, and
lots of 1t, will get n good price. on
account of the drouth throughout the
corn belt the past season, thousands
of farmers gathered NJ and sold
everything that would eat corn and
was salable, and the hens did not es-
cape the sacrifice.
An extensive poultry buyer told me
recently that his business paid better
than ever, although he had to cover
twice as much territory TO get car
load. This indicates shortage in
poultry and to such an extent that the
poultry raisers will be fortunate until
the demand is supplied, which will
take at least two years of our best
efforts.--M. NJ. johnson, in New Eng
land Homestead.

The Spring Chickens

Turn the chickens out where they
can have good wide range for
scratching as early as possible in the
spring, but avoid wet weather, especi-
ally for the high-bred chickens. Wet,
damp weather in early spring is re-
sponsible for the loss of a great many
chickens and old fowls. If the day is
cold and rainy keep them In their win
ter quarters, but if it is a warm rain
1t may not do them much harm. Even
so it does not improve their health any
to get soaking wet.
They need to scratch for their food
more in spring than ever. 1t is much
like giving them a liver tonic, some
thing We all need at this season. The
open air. So it is for the chickens.
If they can get few worms and green
blades of grass in their forage, so
much the better for them. 1t will tend
TO improve their laying qualities later.
When the chickens have foraged all
day they will come to the feeding yard
hungry and eager for food at night,
and the appetite they display Will be
gratifying to the owner. 1t means
something more than the mere con
sumption of food. 1t protends for the
owner good health and a fine crop of
eggs. One should never begrudge
plenty of food when the chicken is a
good layer, for then every pound of
grain is converted into salable meat
or profitable eggs.-Annie c. Webster
in American Cultivator

Raising MotherIess Pigs.

A few years since l lost a fine sow
that left dozen motherless pigs about
two days old. Thinking it would be
more trouble to raise them than they
would be worth gave several of them
away to neighbors. We fed the little
pigs with new milk, while yet warm
from the cow or else warmed it for
them on the stove. After trying to
teach them to suck quill with soft
rag around it with no success, we fed
them with a teaspoon from a small
cup.
After being fed two or three times
they learned to drink, and the second
day they were eating from small
trough as well, and better than some
pigs that 1 have bought when four
weeks old. The neighbors to whom
we had given some of the pigs were
all successful in raising them to be
good hogs above the average. We
gave them new milk, and, in fact, they
would cat anything that is usually fed
to a pig four weeks old. 1 know of
several instances where pigs a few
days old were raised by artificial means
with little troubles. G. a., in Rural
New Yorker.

B5dL2S'
Keen Hogs Thrifty.

The hog seems TO need some earthly
or mineral matter to enable 1t to digest
its food well. For this purpose many
give salt. wood ashes and charcoal, al
lowing them to eat it as they please,
and they usually are spleased to eat it
pretty freely, especially the breeding
stock kept over winter. and it has been
found by test that fattening hogs put
on flesh more readily when they can
resort to this mixture as they please.
1t prevents the gravel eating. which
sometimes seems to keep them from
growing. The Bureau of Animal In
dustry, Department of Agriculture.
sends out the following recipe, which
we are not sure is any better than the
one we give above. Charcoal, sui
phur and black antimony, of each one
pound, mixed with common salt. bak-
ing soda, sulphate of soda, hyposul-
phite of soda, of each two pounds. If
given in the feed, one teaspoonfnl is
allowed daily to each hog. The hogs
also need in winter, especially the
breeding sows, either roots or green
feed of some kind. We think raw
roots are better than cooked ones, but
II they are not at hand give every day
a lock Of clover hay. They will al
ways eat it greedily,-The Cultivator.

comprising a jacknife, small saw and
dish of grating wax. In selecting
CRAFTS only the last years growth of
new wood should be chosen.
Figure shows how to make the
scion. They may be several inches
long and contain two or three buds
each. The bottom end which is TO be
inserted into the limb should be
wedge shape. Figure b gives an idea
how the limb appears with a split
top in which the CRAFTS are set. Two
cuttings should be placed in each limb
to be sure of a good stand. After they
are placed In position some orchardists
bind them In place with cord or twine
to make them secure before the graft
ing wax is applied. This answers as
safeguard, but is not absolutely
necessary. In placing the scion 1t Is
important to have the inner bark of
scion and stock come together so that
the sap win flow from the tree to the
cutting. After this is done the wax
should be applied SO that the joint or
splice Is well covered. thus keeping
out the air and water. Should all the
CRAFTS live the weaker ones should
be pruned away.-New England

others, because they differ in the rela-

The Destructive cutv orm.

The cutworm often destroys whole
fields of corn, compelling replanting,
which makes the crop late and less
able to stand dry weather. The corn
land should be plowed deep and left
rough, so as TO permit the frost to
enter. When cutworms are exposed to
alternate thawing and freezing weather
many will be destroyed, though cold
without dampness may not injurc
them.
