Si itkss in growing garden vegeta

KAIIM boys sent to college learn to
despise the farm, and those left at
Lome are inoculated with the same
idea. If one undertakes to learn
farming as one would learn a profes
sion, lie is foolishly if not contempt
uously called by his neighbors a
"book farmer," but an educated phy
sician is not called a "book" doctor.
The truth is book farmers are too
few and quack farmers are too plenty.
Wiikv pigs do not thrive and try
to eat gravel or earth it is a symp
tom of indigestion. They are prob
ably over-fed. Reduce their food
one half. * Jive two pigs hnlf a pint
of sweet oil or linseed oil in the food
daily for two or three days, and as
they recover gradually give them a
little dry corn in addition to their
food. Some charcoal would la; of
service, and may be given frequently.
THE valuation of sheep made in

fore cattle are turned out.
lie !•, iueluding mangels, may le
sown the last of the month, 'juick
starting of the seeds may tie insured
by soaking them. They should Ist
sown as soon ss germination l>cgin
A ft< r tlie j Innts are up they will
need weeding and thinning.
/'• tot or* —The puULi lieetlo is well
under control, and potatoes are now
iftceitain crop, and a profitable one
when given th an culture on a rich
mellow s >il. It is well to plant
early aorta and harvest the tuts r*
licfore the "rot" has time to reach
i them.
llurroii imj ll'infer drain is a prac
. tice that is no quite generally adopt-
I ed by the betl < r farmers. This should
be done with implements tliat have
the teeth tnrned backward. Peruvian
guano, bone-dust, wood ashes, or
other fertilizer may be applied lie
fore the harrowing.
h'enlth r Ornpt —There should be
ample provision of food for farm ani-
Minis during the summer months, when
the pastures are short from drouth.
A leafy sort of oats may lie sown
with pea* and thus obtain a double
crop of green fodder. The value of
Hungarian grass as a supply of good
green food, is not easily oTer-esti
j mated.
drnei ia a leading farm crop, and
is much neglected. Our farmers have
j given very little attention tp the
study of grass and the soils and cul
ture best adapted to the various soils.
A permanent meadow or pasture
needs to bo kept up by a yearly top
dressing of manure or commercial
fertilizer. It is hoped that the
American farmer will come to a bet
ter understanding of the importance
of grass growing, and that our grass
land will Ik* treated with due consid
eration.
Sheep —The care bestowed on sheep
by some farmera during the winter
invites weakness, and a troublesome
irritation of the skin and loss of
wool often follow poor treatment.
Raising lambs for the spring market
is a profitable business, but great
care of both ewes and lambs is nec
essary. The strength and vitality of
the lamb after birth depend largely
on the condition of the ewe previous
to patrition. .Much injury is done to
the unborn lambs by compelling the
ewes to go without water. Licking
the snow to quench thirst chills the
fetus and weakens the lambs, even
if more serious results do not follow.
S/iriny Wheat should lie sown as
soon as the ground can be properly
prepared. A top-dressing of manure
may 1m- added after sowing. The
good effect of a soluble fertilizer can
sometimes !• seen in a few Lours,
especially if the application is soon
followed by a gentle shower that
takes the substance down to the
roots. Any start given to young
plants is felt for good throughout
their whole life. In using any con
centrated fertilizer, care must be
taken that it docs not come in con
tact with seeds. If scattered thor
oughly an<l thinly on the surface
after sowing there is no danger, oth
erwise it should Is* mixed with the
soil.
MiscellanoouH Notcn.
It will I well for farmers to do
all the hauling they possibly can
while the roads are good.
l>o not let the cattle prune the
orchard. They always were bunglers
at such business.
To grow grapevines let them run
unpruned. To grow grapes, prune
the vino and let the roots run.
I'oultry products sell f.,r cash and
• . 1- sold at any time: two impor
j t points in favor of the business.
Ground I tone and bonemea! is an
ingredient whose value ss a mixture
in poultry fcd has no equal i for its
cost.
If possible, have the truck garden
so arranged that the vegetables will
fx* planted in the order in which they
ripen.
An ounce and a quarter of salt to
the |Mtund is too much. If you want
to get a fancy price for hulter. keep
otic-half of the salt out of it.
When a farmer farms rightly his
soil is constantly growing better, bis
pastures thicker, his fields cleaner,
bis wife better-looking and his own
heart more tender.
I'nground grain should be foil to
fowl* at night, because it is slowly
digested, and fills up the long inter
val between sunset and morning bet
ter than soft food.
Colt-breaking should lregin at the
birth of the colt. liecause he then in
stinctively shows bis fear or timidity
of man, which should be then com
pletely dissipated.
Many so-called cases of pear blight
arc due to other causes than blight.
Ignite often trees arc said to Ire
. blighted from too much manure,
when, in fact, the heavy doses of
manure water would have killed an
oak or bntternut as quickly as it
killed the pear.
It is bad policy to wash harness
with soap, as the potash injures the
leather. If the harness becomes rusty
rub off the dirt as well as possible
with a soft brush and supply a dress
ing of grain black, follower! with oil
or tsllow, which will fasten the color
and make the leather pliable.
Economising Labor and Space.
Orr*pun!*tf* Ki amino*.
There are few people who are more
generally economical than the Ger
mans, and an instance of their ability
to make much out of a little has re
cently come under my notice which
seems worthy of attention. •
One of my friends has her garden
worked on shares by a German.
Early In the spring be put oat a
*
: quantity of cabbage plants, giving &
' little more space between the rows
than is usually allowed. The cab
bages were easily worked with a
horse. Later, when the time for set
ting celery plants bad come, be plant
ed double rows of celery between the
cabbages. The celery rows are not
over eight inches apart, and in the
same trench, so that when banked not
more than half lite work will be re
i quired to prepare them for bleaching
that would l>e necessary if the plants
were set in the usual way. The cab
i bages are nearly ready for use, and
will soon leave the celery in lull pos
■ session of the soil.
Every part of this garden is util
. i/.ed. When the early potatoes were
. rije they were dug and turnips were
, sown on the land. Vacant spaces in
other parts of the garden have been
filled with superfluous plant* from
the l>cet bed.
Where space is somewhat limited
it richly repays the labor to fill the
ground and keep something growing
everywhere. The ground will need
thorough fertilization when it is
cropped so |jersistently.
Cost of Grain Growing in Kansas.
I hiring the last season the Kansas
State Agricultural College kept an
i exact account of the cost of raising
corn, winter whest, oats and millet,
, and gives the following as the result:
! Corn, 22'. acres produced 47 bushels
: j*-r acre, at a cost of 14 cents |er
bushel : wheat, 17 acres produced 15
i bushels per acre, costing about 54
cents per bushel. According to this
statement it costs more to cultivate
1 an acre of wheat than an acreofcorn :
4 7 bushels of corn at 14 cents jer
bushel aggregate $'1.55, which repre
sent# the cost of cultivating an acre
of corn; while 17 bushels of wheat,
at a cost of ;4 cent# per bushel,
amount to $9.18, the total cost of
cultivating an acre of wheat, t >ats,
1C acres, yielding 'in bushels per
i acre, cost 23 cents |k.t bushel, or a
cost of $l.OO [>cr acre. It would ap
- pear from this that it costs just
. ; about double to cultivate an acre of
wheat that it does for an aere of
! oats.
Feoding for Eggs
I have tried different ways of feed-
I | ing hen. and am convinced that I
get more eggs by feeding wheat
screenings. I have fed sorghum
seed, corn meal, oats, corn and mid
dlings, and have concluded that feed
ing wheat in the morning and shelled
corn at night, with feed of shipstuffs
wet up, having a good dose of ground
pepper put in and then baked and
fed twice a week, and once in a while
substituting powdered sulphur in
place of pepper, is the l>est plan. I
give good shelter and good clean
nests ; feed regularly and allow them
a good range with plenty of gravel
!to scratch in. I well the fowls when
they are two years old. anil alwaya
keep the l st cock and the l>est hn
j for hatching. I hare lost only one
hen in a year, and am satis"*! that
my fowls pay a larger per cent, for
I the care and expense than anything
else. 1 have only common chickens,
but have kept the best until they are
a large healthy flock.
Cnre of Young Stock.
lovfl Fn'inef
We plead with the farmer for more
tender care and comfortable quarters
for young stock. There is not only
humanity in it, but money. During
the first year tbe foundation ia laid
for the mature animal. If it ia
dwarfed tbe first w.nter, it will at
maturity be only a dwarfed scrub.
The lime to make large frames is tbe
firat year, and without frames no
profitable superstructure can be rear
ed. And the lowa farmer ia com
pelled to raiac the largest and finest
beeves, or quit the business. The
plaint and mountain valleys of the
| Territories can raise second class
. stock cheaper than we can. Having
plenty of tame grass and grain, we
can produce a su|ierior article, which
will always bring its full value in
New York, lioston, Philadelphia or
Europe. The demand for superior
lieerca ia rapidly increasing, and it ia
evident tbe supply will never meet
the demand. This brings us back to
our subject. Tare care tenderly of
Uie young atock, for at this season
only can tbe foundation be laid for
the beeves lowa must depend on lot
the future.
