Prairies Fired l>y Lightning. , A bolt of lightning net tiro to the dry prairie gTOSH in Hodgeman County, Kansas, a few dayH ago. A heavy elec tric storm cnmc up and the heavens were ablaze with lightning. The country was as dry as tinder, and a sea of dry prairie grass extended for miles. The lightning struck the earth, boring a hole in the ground six feet deep, and setting the grass on fire. There was a high wind, and before the rain, which followed, could extinguish the lire it completely devastated a tract of country five miles wide by ten long, destroying fences, barns and farm houses. The occupants of the houses only escaped with their lives by taking refuge in their "cyclone pits," which are dug out in the earth and covered with dirt. A large number of horses and cattle perished in the flames.— New Orleans Picayune. Tlie I'IMIICM.

The flies are not BO troublesome, and the cows are not run ning around the yard, causing the milker to follow, two or three times in the course of the operation. Give each cow a little grain, if no more than enough to encourage her togo readily to her place in the clean milkiug tstuble. —American Agriculturist, BREED TNG OFF THE HORNS. Tt is a futile hope to expect to breed hornless cattle by the practice j of dishorning. There have been in stances in which an artificial peculiar ity in the animal has become inherited, but this is exceedingly rare and is not to be taken as a rule for breeders. Lambs have been docked for centuries, but they still come into the world with long tails. The only satisfactory way to have a herd of pooled cattle is to use a polled bull, and this, being in conformity to the natural laws of breeding, may be depended on in time to fix this character on the progeny. It moy not be fully effective in the first generation or in several, but ex perience has shown that in time the character of the sires will be fixed on the progeny in the end. For dairy cattle the polled red Norfork will make a good hornless sire. The Scotch Aberdeen cattle Bre sometimes excellent dairy animals.—New York Times. BEST CROP FF.OM PRILLED CORN. For three years, says a New York farmer in the Tribune, our drilled corn has yielded from 106 to 130 bush els of ears per acre, whereas we got but seventy-five to 100 by the check row' method. The extra yield is due to there being more stalks; you can have four to six stalks to every three feet of drill, and they ear as well as three to four stalks putin a checkrow clump. We plow the ground in the fall, draw ten to twelve loads of good stable lup.uure per ucre early in the spring, so the strength of the manure will be partly washed into the .soil be fore planting. Harrow same as for any crop. Set the drill to sow from 8£ to SH quarts per acre, according to size and variety of corn. But the safest way to set the drill is to pull the rubber hose out of the hoe and let the corn run on top of the ground, and set it so it will run from four to six kernels every three fset of drill; to run it any thicker is waste of time, seed and fertilizer, as it will have to be thinned. Of fertilizer drill in 200 pounds with the corn; the fertilizer box should be partitioned off or the extra runs covered with thin pieces of board, or less phosphate may run in with the corn and clear wood ashes used (by those not wishing to buy much fertil izer) in the runs each side of the one used for the corn ; then there will be no danger of injury to the seed. Per sons desirous of planting pumpkins with the corn may do so by mixing the seed with the fertilizer that runs in with the corn. If the drill does not run the corn deep enough hang light weights to the hoes U6ed. I agree with Waldo F. Brown that seed-corn should be thoroughly dried by artifi cial heat and hung in a dry place; such seed will germinate one to three days quicker and grow stronger, and is not so liable to rot during any cold, wet spell after planting. FEEDING VALUE OF CREAM GLUTEN MFAL. The results of a series of feeding tests at the Vermont, experiment sta tion with sugar meal, cream gluten meal and germ feed epealt very strong ly in favor of the high feeding valno of cream gluten /ileal. Two of tho cows ate it quite well, tho other left a good deal of it, but in spite of this*,he cream gluten produces more milk than the bran and corn in four easos out of six, makes a richer milk five times out of six and yields more butter fr.t every time. The milk increases about one twelfth, the richness of the milk in creases a third of one per cent, and the net gain is about one-sixth of tho total fat. On a herd of twenty cows yielding 5000 pounds apiece of four per cent, milk with butter ot twenty-five cents a pound such nil increase would repre sent (SGO pounds of butter yearly with a value of SlC>.j. The figures obtained show that not withstanding the fact that the sugar meal was not eaten in so large qur.nti ties as the bran and corn, and the further fact that what effect the change to pasture had was against the sugar meal, yet it gave better returns than the bran and core. In the five trials itproduced milk and more pounds of fat every time, and a richer milk four times out of five, producing one ninth nu>re milk, one-fiftieth richer and one-seventh more butter. Not so good results wero obtained with the gerin feed. Its use was fol lowed by a decrease of mill:, an in crease of richness and but slight change in the total amount of fat. It has then considerably; less feeding value than the cream of gluten meal and the sugar meal, as one would naturally expect from its composition and market price. It has apparently about the same feed ing value pound for pound as the mix ture of bran and corn, and as it can be purchased in the market for less than either of these it follows that it, should be an economical and profitable feed. Mr. Cook is led to the conclusion that germ feed has aliout the same feed ing value as a mixture of equal ports by weight of wlientbrau and corn meal; that sugar meal and cream gluten meii both have a higher feeding value than the above, nnd that these latter also have a slight effect on the richness of the milk. Finally, it should be remembered t.liot thio is but a slight series of trials and that the work needs to bo repeated severol times before o sure conclusion can be drawn. It is necessary here to utter a word oi eautiuu iu regard to the use of theeo concentrated feeds, sugar meal and especially cream gluten meal. They are both exceedingly rich concentrated feeds, and like cottonseed meal should be fed sparingly. Three or four pounds a day of sugar meal per cow is as much as it is safe to give, while with cream gluten meal the limit of two pounds per day per cow should not be exceed ed.—New England Farmer. PLANTING YOUNG TREES. A great deal of difficulty is ex prienced in handling young trees that have been bought at a nursery, and especially if they have been trans ported a long distance. All nursery men in sending out trees should con sider it a port, of their contract to send written orders with their trees, giving a good description of the kind of soil in which the trees have been growing, and the general location of the nursery. This would help many farmers and fruit growers to give the trees a good start. As it is now, very often the trees are forced to adapt themselves to entirely different soil to which they have been accustomed, and a year or two of good growth is lost through this sudden change. A great deal can be saved, however, if the farmer understands how to handle the trees and how best to set them out. Many trees are received during a dry season, and as they have been transported a long distance, they need planting at once. When the trees are received they should be set immediately, and the longer they are kept implanted the longer will the check to their growth be made. Prune off carefully all dead and mutilated roots. Then dig a hole large enough to accommodate all of tho remaining roots in the positions in which they hang. If the roots can be planted in their natural position there will be less danger of loss; but to do this, very large holes are often required. Place the tree in the hole and fill it half up with the clay, and then saturate it thoroughly with water until it is workable clay. With a small hoe or a blunt stick this sticky clay should be worked carefully around and into the roots of the tree. With a little labor at this work the roots will quickly get established, and decide largely tho future of the tree. After this the rest of the soil should be thrown in and piled up around the tree, and a good mulch of stable manure provided. If the season is a wet instead of a dry oue, the top mulch will not be needed, but if there is any danger of a drought, the mulch is the only way to prevent tho roots from getting thirsty. But with a good mulch a newly set tree can bo kept moist for months. Tho water that has been applied directly to the roots will be kept there, and not allowed to evaporate. To put ail of tho soil back into the hole, and then pour water upon it, is a method that many practice now, but is not nearly as satisfactory as tho one described. A great deal of the water thus put on the surface will never get down to the roots, but will bo absorbed more by tho surrounding surface soil. When wo put it in tho hole half tilled with soil, it goes direct to the roots, where it is needed. Where the soil is very dry in times of drought, it is sur prising to see how much water tho surface soil will absorb. If one digs down a foot, however, ho will find that tho subsoil is still untouched by tho water. —American Cultivator. TAUM AND GARDEN NOTES. A good food for young slioats is two fifths shorts and one-fifth oil meal. The apiarist should pay especial at tention to tho weak colonics. Honey, either comb or extracted, if properly taken caro of improves with age. If moths onco get a footing in the hives, tho colonies will bo destroyed in | a very short time. It is predicted that in a few years j bees will be kept by fruit growers for I tho purpose of carrying pollen from j one blossom to another of tho small ; fruits as well as for tho largo ones. Land that is not drained does not I liavo time to dry sufficiently between rains to permit working the crops. In I an extremely wet season, and in an ex i tremely dry one, the cost of draining j is sometimes repaid l>y a siuglo. crop. Water your horses more than three I times a day while they aro working i hard during hot weather, even if it i does put you to some inconvenience. ] Tho extra work that they will do, and j the better condition in which they will j keep, will fully repay you. Do not attempt to grow root crops j without feeding them well. Without | exception they aro gross feeders, and demand good, rich soil in order to ! produce paying yields. The men who are most successful with these apply an amount of manure that many farmers i would consider excessive for any crop. A crop which will produce n good j yield of forage aud hay upon light soils j is one of tho things that we need. Tho ! Michigan station thinks we may have . it in Spurry, an annual which they | have recently been testing with good . results. This is called a weed in Great j Britain, but is a hay and forage crop iu Belgium, France and Russia. There are numerous easy ways of i teaching the calf to drink, but to many j this seems to be a very hard job. Give the calf the end of your finger a few times and he will soon learn to driuk. Use the method as given by a little girl, who said that she taught the youngsters the way in which to drink by wrapping a piece of cloth around a corn cob and placing it in the milk. White fowls are often very popular because they look dean.

Pulled bread is a delicious accom paniment of cheese, and is an agree able substitute for the usual biscuits, with lemonade, wine and tea. Take from the oven an ordinary loaf when it is about half baked, and, with the lingers, while it is still hot, put the half set dough into pieces of irregular shape, about the Bize of an egg. Do not attempt to smooth or flatten them, as they are better the rougher they are. Set on tins, place in a very slow oven and bake to a rich brown. Rice bread is a variation of the staff of life which breaks the monotony of the continual wheat bread fare. Take half a pound of rice and boil gently over a slow tire in a quart of water un til it is soft enough to be beaten into a smooth paste. Mix this while warm into a pound and a quarter of flour, adding at the name time the usual quantity of yeast. Kneed it very thor oughly. Allow the dough to work near the fire, after which divide it into loaves and bake. Potato bread is another variation which is much liked. Place three pounds of flour near the fire to warm ; take a pound of potatoes, peel, boil ai)d wash them as though for the table. Mix with cold water until they are smooth and liquid enough to pass through a sieve easily. Add the yeast, mix and bake in the usual way.—New- York World. IN CANNING FRUIT, REMEMBER— That success depends upon : Using a reliable make of glass jars and testing the air-tight quality of each by pouring a little water into it, adjusting the rubber and cover, and standing it upside down. Thoroughly cleansing all jars that have been used, by washing them first in warm water, then filling full of scalding hot water to which borax, ammonia or washing soda has been added, and allowing them to stand at least two hours before rinsing. Rejecting all old rubber bands that are stretched out, discolored, or in the least hardened. Using firm, large fruit of suitable varieties and having it under rather than over ripe ; rejecting all that are crushed, overripe, stunted or knotty, and carefully preparing the rest. Washing currants on the stems and strawberries before they are hulled; washing all small fruits quickly and by placing ft few at a time iu a colander, then, holding it over a sink, pour cold water on the fruit and spread it on a towel to drain. Allowing the pits of cherries and peaches and the seeds of pears to re main in the fruit; or, if this is objec tionable, distribute five or six peach pits through each quart jar and put a small white net or thin muslin bag containing a handful of cherry pits or pear seeds iu each similar-sized jar. Paring peaches with a thin-bladed, sharp knife instead of scalding them in lye; not removing the skins of plums, but piercing each one, two or three times with a fork to prevent the skins from breaking badly while they are cooking. Using only fine flavored sugar, either granulated or loaf, and only enough to impart a pleasant, palatable taste. Cooking the fruit in the jars so that it is not broken by handling or its flavor lost in escaping steam. To do this, plaeo the fruit in jars as fast as it is prepared, cover with syrup to tho neck of the jar, then put 011 the cover, but not tho rubber band. Set a com mon wnsh boiler or other suitable ves sel 011 the back of tho range, place the jars of fruit inside, but not close enough together to touch, fill the ves sel with hot water until it reaches to within an inch of tho top of tho jars, draw it to the front of the range, cover closoly, and bring to a boil. Continuo boiling ton minutes (longer for large, firm fruits) or until the fruit can bo easily pierced with a fork, ami then draw the vessel to tho back of the range. Take out a jar, set it on a folded wet towel, fill it to overflowing with boiling water, wipe off tho neck, adjust the rubber and cover, and screw the latter tightly. Treat each jar in this man ner, and, as they cool, endeavor to tighten the covers about once an hour. When nearly cold, invert them all, as a final test that they are air-tight. Wrap each jar in paper or draw a paper bag over it from the top, label plainly on tho outside, and keep in a cool, dry place. The flavor of canned fruit is greatly improved by opening it two or three hours before it is needed, to restore the oxygen. This is neither a now nor a difficult method of canning fruit, but is vir tually the samo as that used by all manufacturers of such goods. And yet, for some inexplicable reason, the majority of housewives fail to appreci ate its superiority over the method commonly employed, and are content to produce a third or fourth rate ar ticle—a sort of eauned jam—if only it "keeps."—New York Times.
