Farm Notes.
Sheep cannot stand much dampness,
either on backs or under their feet, and
thrive well.
Small farms make near neighbors,
they make good roads, they make plen-
ty of good schools and churches.
There is more money in proportion to
the labor.
Quick sales are alwaye in order with
any kind of perishable produce. The
gain in prices by holding back some
articles 18 often more than balanced by
losses during storage.
Corn-cobs stand highest in the pro-
portion of potash contained. The cobs
should not be thrown in the manure
heap, but used for fuel and the ashes
carefully saved for application around
fruit trees.
When land will not respond tc man-
ure or good surface tillage the fault
may be due to wet subsoil, which may
be partially if not wholly relieved of
its extra supply of moisture by the use
of drain-tile.
Heavy beef breeds of cattle only
thrive well on farms that can supply
abundant food, both in pasture and
grain. They canuot forage over bar-
ren fields as nimbly as the small breed
and are not well adapted for steep hill-
side.
The natural color of butter is white
instead of yellow, though the food and
the breed must be considered. To
have the cows give butter the farmer
must grow carrots and ruta-bagas,
which may be fed with advantage in
winter, not only to color the butter but
also to increase the quantity, as cows
thrive well and give increased yields
when they receive a ration of roots
daily, and no root is more acceptable
to horse and cows than the carrot.
Horses, cattle and sheep have been
fed on ensilage repeatedly by those
who have been interested in its use and
the results have, in every case, been
beneficial, thus demonstrating that en-
silage can be profitably used for other
than milch-cows. Even laying hens
have accepted it, and with beneficial
results in the production of eggs. The
fact should be kept in view that, in &d-
dition to its usefulness as an article of
food, ensilage affords an agreeable
change from the usual dry provender
and promotes the appetite.
The question now being considered
by well-informed farmers is whether
the swill-barrel should be abolished or
not. Itistrue that many waste sub-
stances can be added to the swill-barrel
and fermented, but this very fact is
used as a reason for discarding the
swill-barrel. The swill can just as con-
veniently be given in a fresh and whole-
some condition as to allow it as filth.
A mess of fresh-skimmed milk and
corn-meal or slop, made by scalding
bran or ground grain, will afford a
wholesome food and avoid disease
germs.
Ashes vary according to the sub-
stances from which they are produced.
In 100 pounds of hard-wood ashes are
about 70 pounds lime, 12 pounds pot-
ash and 6 pour ds phosphoric acid ; but
corn-cobs contain, in 100 pounds of
ashes, 20 pounds of lime and 45
pounds of potash, the nearest approach
to corn-cobs in amount of potash, be-
ing cotcon-seed hulls, which contain 38
pounds. The hulls also contain as
much as 13 pounds of phosphoric acid
(a large proportion). Even soft coal
contains 5 .pounds of lime in 100
pounds of its ash, while hard coal con-
tains only half as much lime, but con-
tains also a fraction over one povnd of
phosphoric acid.
During this season the collection and
utilization of substances that would be
of no value except as additions to the
manure heap may be advantageously
pursued, The farmer can make betier
manure by. feeding his animals liberal-
ly and carefully saving and preserving
the manure, but in all sections of the
country farmers have never refused to
increase the bulk of the manure by
addinz straw stalks, or whatever coarse
substances that may be conveniently
used, yet there is an enormous amount
of material that can be utilized, and
which costs nothing to obtain except
the labor involved. It may not pay
the farmer to turn his attention to sav-
ing wastes or collecting costless mate-
rials while he is busy, but the winter
opens for him an opportunity when
there is but little snow and the ground
not solidly frozen.
Muck, sea weed, salt marsh grass,
ferns, potato tops, cotton-seed hulls,
soot, forest leaves, etc., are valuable
even when reduced to ashes, but when
used in the compost heap they add a
certain proportion of nitrogen, in addi-
tion to their mineral matter, as well as
serving as absorbents. Forest leaves
are rich in lime, 1000 pounds contain-
ing about 26 pounds of lime. The
well-known salt marsh grass is a bet
ter fertilizer than has been previously
supposed, for in each ton there are 46
pounds of pure potash and 8 pounds of
phosphoric acid, but it contains only
about 6 pounds of lime. Asa potash
substance, therefore, it is invaluable in
the manure, after first serving as bed-
ding for the animale. Each ton of sea
weed contains 32 pounds of lime and 34
pounds of potash, and a ton of ferns,
though containing but 16 pounds of
lime contains 50 pounds of potash and
10 pounds of phosphoric acid. They
are well worth collecting. Lime isthe
principal mineral ingredient of muck,
a ton containing 24 pounds of lime, but
only 4 pounds of potash and4 pounds
of phosphoric acid. Potato tops con-
tain, per ton, 10 pounds of lime, 4
pounds of potash and 4 pounds of
phosphoric acid. These estimates do
not include soda, magnesia, etc.

An Obsolete Custom.
The custom of arranging the Yule
log in the hearth, Christmas eve, is now
almost obsolete. It became customary
in France, at the beginning of the chris-
tian era. It spread rapidly and was
soon adopted by all christian countries.
In some parts of Russia thecustom still
thrives. So also in Ireland only in dif-
ferent form, a turf fire being substituted
for the “bock log.”’

No More Cold Winters.
A lumberman of the district says the
winters will never be so cold as they
were in the years gone past. His theory
is that as the trees cut away the sun falls:
directly upon the ground. The heat
keeps the surface of the earth warm, and
that not only has a tendency to prevent
snow and bring rain instead, but it also
allows the snow that does fall to soon
melt. When forests covered the ground
the earth under the trees was cold all
winter long, inducing falls of snow, and
preserving that which fell. The great
devastation of the forests in the last ten
years and the open winters during the:
same period give more or less weight to
the theory.
