    Farm Notes.
An “inch of rain” makes a gallon of
water spread over near two square feet,
or a fall oft about 200 tons to an acre.
The queen bee—the only perfect fe-
male bee in the hive—lives for years,
while workers have at most an ex-
istence of a few months.
There is no good reason but lack of
knowledge and skill why every pound
of butter made in the country might
not be prime, if not fancy.
Many abandoned farms have been
abandoned because they were too large
to be profitably cultivated. It is sel-
that a small farm is abandoned.
It is said that the Carniolan are the
popular bee in England, while the It-
alians have the preference in America.
We once had only the black bee.
In 1880 there were 75.973 farms in
the United States which contained
over 500 and less than 1000 acres, and
28,578 containing more than 1000
acres.
Hogs will usually do better and
gain faster when they have a change
of feed occasionally,and many theorists
advise the liberal use of bran, shorts
and oil meal.
Atany time after the ground becomes
frozen will answer for cutting out the
old canes of blackberries. Old canes
should be consigned to the flames as a
precaution against insects.
The odor of Carolina tar, applied on
the cracks and joints of the hen house
is beneficial to the health of the occu-
pants. Crude carbolic acid, applied to
the under side of the perches, is also a
good thing.
The first school of dairying ever or-
zanized in America has been started
through the efforts of Protessor Henry
at the State University of Wisconsin.
It is intended to give thorough instrue-
tion in dairying and cheese making, in-
cluding the analysis of milk.
When the hive gets over crowded,
all loyalty to the queen with the work-
ersisat an end. It issuddenly under-
stood all through the hive that she
“must go,” and take with her a portion
of the colony, composed of those who
are willing to adhere to her.
William Morse, of Denver, Col.
gives a week's butter yiela of his three
year old Holstein heifer, Hildo Spa-
anz 2633, which was 430} pounds of
milk and 20 pounds 7 ounces of butter.
The owner, the herdsman and milker
make affidavit to the fact. Nearly 3
pounds of butter a day is good if the
milk is poor.
With calves as with other young
animals the best results are obtained
by keeping them growing right along
without cessation. They need plenty
of skimmed milk with a littie oil meal
stirred into it, and after a litle the ad-
dition of oat meal. With such food
and good pasture to run in calves can
hardly fail to thrive.
The Cheshire pig, developed in cen-
tral New York, where the principal
feed is skimmed milk, is noted for the
large proportion of lean meat which
its carcass turns out. It isa thrifty
rapid grower, not unfrequently reaching
the weight ot 400 pounds in wine
months. Muscle weighs heavier than
fat or bones.
Notwithstanding * some breeds of
cows seem to be better adapted to the
dairy than others are, prize butter
has beer made from the milk of al-
most every breed known to the
American market. Do you realize,read-
er, how much the buttermaker has to
do with the superiority of the butter ?
Breed affects profit vastly more than
quality.
Somebody claims that the aroma of
butter is a peculiarity of breeds, and
that there is a distinctive Jersey aro-
ma which no other breed can dupli-
cate, as also an Ayrshire flavor and
Holstein as well. Whether this is
true or not, there is a food flavor that
overpowers it, and this becomes far
more important to the dairyman,
Crushed, ground or soaked oats are
excellent hog feed, and at present.
prices not a bushel ought to leave the
farm. For breeding stock they are
superior to corn. All kinds of stock
relish a change of feed. If every farm-
er would feed out three-fourth of his
oats this season the price would be
very apt to advance to a fair figure be-
fore summer.
© The Lawrence is a late autumn and
early winter pair, of fine quality,
though not equal to the best, and only
partially melting , but it has the good
quality of never becoming scabby, it is
always fair, and the tree holds its fo-
liage late in the autumn until the fruit
is well matured. Tt is a good market
variety. Thus speaks the veteran po-
mologist, J. J. Thomas, in the Country
Gentleman.
Poultry keeping on a large scale is
not impossible, but circumstances
make it impracticable in most cases.
Those who have means enough to un-
dertake it have not the inclination.
While most of those who have the
inclination and “are fall of it,” lack the
means and the requisite gkill. Many
things may belearned in a modest-sized
establishment, and our adviceis to try !
what can be done in a small way first,
and let the business grow by natural
degrees.— New England Homestead.
When the ground is plowed in the fall '
or early winter the frost goes down
and reach the insects that have songht
refuge therein. The clods and lumps
are broken by the action of frost, and
the soil pat in condition, for being
easily plowed in the spring.
lumpy manure is also pulvirized by
frost, due to expansion and contraction
during alternate thawing and freezing
which renders the manure fine when
it is spread over the surface at this sea-
son.
Hard,
The Secretary of Agriculture has
‘just issued bis first report. He esti-
| mates the number of cows in the coun-
try, including the cows in the towns
and villages, at 16,000,000, and the
current year’s batter product at 1,300,-
000,000 pounds. The cheese prodnet
he thinks will approximate 400,000,000
pounds, The Secretery is probably
not far out of the way in his estimates.
in contact with the wood. This is be-
cause the tubs are not properly soak-
They should be thoroughly soaked and
scalded, and if the scalding is not in
brine the inside should be well rubbed
with dairy salt, so that the wood will
injure it in that way.
The Growth of Trees.
In the the parish of Winfarthing are
two magnificent oak trees, one of which
is known as the “Winfarthing Oak ;”
the other is a little inferior to it in
magnitude, but appears to have been
generally passed over in favor of the
more celebrated tree first mentioned.
These trees were inspected by Robert
Marsham, F. R.S., the friend and cor-
respondent of Gilbert White, and a
great agriculturist, in the year 1744;
and he has left in his diary accurate
measurements of both.
38 feet 7 inches in circumference, and
thesmaller just 30 feet. In the year
according to Marsham’s method, the
larger tree was just 40 feetin circumfer-
ence, and the smaller 30 feet; it will
thus be seen that one tree had increased
17 irches in 130 years, whereas the
other had remained in statu quo.— Lon-
don Standard.
SELLING CorNcoBs.—Farmers living
in the vicinity of a corncob pipe factory
are exceptionallv fortunate. Although
many million: of cobs are burned or al-
lowed to rot every year, the price for
pipemaking purposes keeps up. A farm.
er living near Washington, Mo., recent-
ly sold 100 bushels of corn for $30 and
$27 for the cobs. This is at the rate of
fifty seven cents a bushel, and if only
sufficient Missouri meerschaums were
ers would soon be rich. Corneob pipes
are manufactured by a very simple pro-
cess, and are in fair demand all over the
country. Some were recently shipped
to Europe, ard more were ordered soon
after their arrival. Chicago Herald.
Pounxp Caxk.—1 pound of butter, 1
pound of loaf sugar, eight eggs, 1}
clean pan about milk-warm, and stir it
around until it becomes like cream ;
then add the sugar, which must be
pounded very finely, and stir them to-
gether for a few minutes; break the
eggs in, and beat all together for five
minutes, then gradually add the flour
them lightly together, and bake in a
moderate oven from one and a half to
two hours.
CuickeN Pre.—Parboil a good-sized
chicken, after carving it as if to be serv-
ed ; take out of water. Then put in a
cupful of milk, to which has been added
flour enough to moderately thicken it ;
salt and pepper. Let this boil gently a
quarter of an hour. Put at bottom and
side of a pie-dish a lining of paste; lay
the pieces of chicken in with a quarter
of a pound of pork in very thin slices.
Fill the dish with the liquor you have
ready. You can ornament the paste
with strips, but be sure to leave a small
aperture in the top of the crust. It will
be done in fifty minutef in a moderately
hot oven.
Mince Pie.—Take five pounds of
beef ; boil, chop fine with three pounds
of suet; seed four pounds of raisins,
wash four pounds of currants, slice a
pound of citron, chop four quarts of
apples. Put in a sauce-pan with cinna-
mon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, the juice
of two lemons, one teaspoon of pepper
and two pounds of sugar. Pour over
all a quart of cider, one pint of molasses
and a teacup of melted butter. Bake in
a rich crust without tops, then bake a
crust of puff paste and lay on.
Roast TurkeY.—Kill the night be-
fore cooking ; prepare a dressing ot
bread crumb with butter, pepper, salt
and herbs ; add ten dozen chopped oys-
ters ; fill the body with dressing, dredge
with flour ; lay in a deep pan on a wire
rest or small blocks ; cook with butter ;
roast a rich brown. Stew the giblets in
a little water, which may be added to
the gravy in the pan; thicken with a
little corn starch, and serve in a gravy-
boat. Garnish the turkey with fried
oysters and serve with cranberry sauce.
