Changing a Vegetables Nature.

A rather surprising experiment Is re-
ported as made at the Paris Academy
Of Sciences. Young radishes were cul-
tivated in glass retort after a pecu-
liar process, using concentrated solu-
ton Of glucose. Under this trea tment
the vegetable took up starch abund-
antly and increased greatly in size and
lost its peppery qualities, resembling
closely in every way an ordinary pota-
to. The imaginative Frenchman who
relates the experiment suggests the
possibility Of producing various vege-
tables one from the other, or Of secur-
ing artificial vegetable growth by
chemical meanS.

Retaining Manure Values.

There is probably no better way of
handling manure made in feeding cat
tie loose in stables than to apply lit
ter daily to absorb the liquids and
keep the cattle clean and allow the
manure to accumulate under the cat
tie.
1t was once supposed that II manure
was kept under cover its fertility
would not be appreciably wasted. The
Department of Agriculture finds that
large losses may occur, though not to
such an extent, of course, as from the
open yard manure pile.
The best way to keep manure seems
to be to pack it into solid mass and
exclude the air, in a somewhat sim
liar manner 10 the way sllage 10 put
up. The department notes experiments
where steer manure was kept in deep
stalls under the feet of the animals
for months, as against the method Of
cleaning the stall out daily and stor-
ing in a compact heap under cover,
enough fine cut litter being used each
day to apparently absorb all the liquid
manure. The deep stall manure was
trampled to very dark, compact mass
and there was very little loss Of the
valuable fertilizing constituents
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash.
With the manure kept in heaps one
third Of the nitrogen, one-tifth of the
potash and one-seventh Of the phos-
phoric acid was lost the total money
value of the losses being equivalent
to $3.50 for each steer stabbed for six
months.
Manure, 1t is stated, can be kept
almost perfectly, so far as the fer
tilizer constituents are concerned, by
use of the deep stall" system. Ex
periments show, however, that nitro
gen is lost very rapidly by such man
ure, if it be allowed to lie after thu
removal of the stock, without sucl
covering as will retain the moistur,
and exclude the air.

Heayes in Horses.

In mild and recent cases the heaves
may often be cured entirely by turning
the horse out to pasture for two or
three months. If it is necessary, how
ever, to work horse affected with
this trouble, he can be relieved greatly
by feeding no hay except at night, and
then only a small amount of clean and
bright hay, entirely free from dust.
If there Is any danger of dust it Is
well to dampen it, but only bright
hay should be given. Roots will be
found helpful; beets, turnips, potatoes
or anything Of that sort that the horse
will eat. The amount of water should
be limited as much as possible, and no
horse with heaves should be given
water for one or two hours previous
to going to work. DIR. Law recon-
mends arsenic in five-grain doses daily.

How to Winter Duchs.

Many who can raise ducks success.
fully have difficulty in wintering them,
due, in the opinion of the writer, al
most entirely to lack Of ventilation
and permitting the houses to become
damp. The duck can stand more cold
than chickens, provided the cold Is of
the dry kind; dampness makes trouble
for them every time. In winterlng
ducks always provide board floor,
or, If the floor must be of earth, cover
it to the depth of several inches with
chaff and arrange the drinking foun-
tains in part Of the house so that
it will be practically impossible for
the ducks to soil the chaff and wet 1t
with water from the troughs. An
excellent plan Of ventilation is to
divide the quarters into two rooms,
each room having two opposite win
dows; then, each day drive the ducks
into one room, closing the door be-
tween and thoroughly air the room
they left, allowing the wind to blow
through 1t for an hour or more; venti-
late the other room on the same plan.
Ducks treated in this manner as to
their quarters will go through the win
ter in good shape and be strong
healthy breeders at the proper season.

Exercise the Stallion.

Stations should be put to work and
kept at work whenever not In active
stud service and then they will be
surer and have fewer returned mares
to look after and can do bigger bust
ness, says a correspondent of National
Stockman. No stallion is too good to
earn his oats behind collar, and usr-
ally the more he earns there the more
he is able to earn in .-e stud. One
reason for the vitality and endurance
Of our trotting horses is that the sires
were either raced or trained or driven
a good deal Of the time. The same Is
true Of some imported draft horses,
the French horses especially, which
are worked at year and half or two
years old and as long as the farmer
has them. The race Of horses that Is
not worked may possess size and
weight, but it will not have the power,
the nerve and the get there and stay
at it ability that 1t needs to perform
hard work.

The Modern Farm in Germany.

Electricity for farming purposes has
probably been developed more in Ger
many than in any other country. A
large number of German estates are
now run almost entirely by it, the
smaller ones being equipped usually
in groups from single power plant,
as at Chottorf, while many of the
large estates have their own private
plants. A striking example Of this
la tier class is the farm of Prof. Back
haus, at Quednau, in the eastern part
of Russia. which covers an area Of $50
acres and has a dairy producing about
1000 gallons Of milk per day. The
buildings are all lighted by incandes-
cent lamps and the grounds, in places,
by are lights. The current Is supplied
from a small central station contain
ing a 5O-horse power engine direct
coupled to two generators, and
switchboard for the control OF the
various circuits, all parts OF which
are so simple and plainly marked that
any farm hand can understand and
operate it. In addition to the lighting,
power is supplied for the pumping Of
water and the driving of saws, feed
cutting machines, a threshing and n
grist mill, and an electric churn In the
dairy. Besides these stationary power
appliances there are number Of cleo
trically driven agricultural machines
for use in the fields, including an auto
mobile plow, all of which are run by
storage batteries and may be charged
at conveniently srb-stations. To round
out the completeness Of the equipment
the barns are heated by electricity
and ventilated by motor-driven fans
and all parts Of the farm have tele-

Bird Duel to the Death.

A duel to the death was witnessed
Monday morning near the corner Of
Parker street and Great road, the
principals being two blue birds and
crow. The fight had probably been IN
progress some time before it was
noticed, as when attention was at
tracted to the strange battle the crow
evidently had enough and was in full
flight with tine blue birds in full
chase.
The larger bird was lodging in the,
vain attempt to shake off its persist
ent pursuers, but its efforts were USE
less, as whiever way it turned one Of
its antagonists was on hand to check
it's flight.
The crow in its desperation finally
landed quite near the road and put
up it's last fight only a, few feet away
from the spectators. The big bird
never succumbed until there was not
an ounce Of fight left in it, and died
after few attempts to repulse the in
creasing attacks of its small enemies.
The crow was examined after the
contest and was found to be almost
completely covered with blood and
cut in a score of places by the sharp
pecks of the blue birds. The latter
were evidently none the worse for
the encounter, as they flew merrily
away after putting the crow to death.
