It fears are entertained of dis
agreeable odors in the milk from
cabbage or turnip leaves, "give the
cow about a traspoonful of salt|ctrc ;
if it is already in the milk dissolve
the saltpetre in wntcr and put about
a tcaspoonful of the solution to a
gallon of milk, and it will remedy It
at once," so anys nit experienced
dairyman, lie also says that "it
drives oil good llavors as well as l*ad
ones, snd that butter made from
milk so treated will be as flavorless
as winter butter made from fresh
meadow hay, but as it does not de
stroy the color, people will not £ml
fault with such butter unless they
are accustomed to something very
nice. Even then they will prefer it
to that which has a taste of turnips,
cabbages, carrots or bitter weeda of
any kind.
A Corn and Whout notation.
♦ a—
-1 'ti. f Country <J<-ritl iimn.
In conversation last evening with
a noted wheat grower of Wayne
county, in this State— a county that
has a record of over one million of
bushels in one year— reference was
1- made to the article iri your paper in
_ relation to a profitable crop in rota
lion between corn and wheat, ami his
■' advice was "to sow wheat for the
r connecting crop between corn and
wheat; then clover one year, and the
following spring plow for corn."
| lie thought it must be very poor
' : land indeed that would not bear
three crops—one of corn and two of
„ wheat- assisted by what fertility the
farm would afford- and not constant
ly grow better, liu plan gave him
100 bushels of ears nf corn per
" acre, and from 21 to 27 bushels of
wheat per acre, as an average this
g season excepted—and he considered
!l that profitable farming. Oats lie was
,■ obliged to raise to some < vtcnt as
a grain for his plow horses, but, one
year with another, he did not think
I they paid as a market crop. His
sy-'eru is to plant an early ripening
corn that can be rut up before Hcp
ternbi r l"tb. Me cultivates his corn
so thoroughly that the weeds get no
start, and so late that the soil does
!1 not get hard enough to require plow
" ; ing Isefore sowing. The corn is so
lut tha' fourteen rows go in a line
of shocks, and every other row of
! -hoi k- when cut are tipped over on a
boat sled and drawn from the field.
Tl.e hoes of a drill arc so adjusted
that the one that would come in the
I. hills or row s of corn huts is removed.

that begets this first crop of wheat

crop of oats, with its altcudant
spring plowing and drilling, and he
is then relieved of thi extra work,
and he is instead thus enabled to be
improving bis farm, or preparing for

. win at is the equivalent of about M)
bushels of oats, a crop be neve r could

operations are brought down to two
, ii crops, corn and wheat, and
the possibilities of a failure in the
oat crop avoided. A* he expressed
it, "a poor crop of wheal is as profit
able as a good crop of oats." How
far this plan could U- made not only
applicable, but profitable to the gen.
eral farmers of thi- country, would

ter that might lie successful in the
main, and to many solve the question
what crop shall follow corn.
THE flavor and keeping qualities
of fruit will sometimes vary a great
deal, owing to the inflqep*? of the
stock in which it is grafted. This is
the most noticeable in the Baldwin
apple, perhaps because it is most j
widely disseminated. When grafted
upon the stock of an early apple it 1
will lie found to ripen earlier And
decay earlier; when upon a sweet
apple it becomes more mild flavor,
while upon a seeding stock 011 which
the natural fruit is hard and sour,
the Baldwin will have an extremely
acid flavor and keeps sound a longer
time. How far this variation may
extend, whether all fruits can be
changed in this way, or whether all
stocks have the same power of in
fluencing the 'rafts cut in them, is a
question deserving the attention of
our horticulturists.
What a Farmer Needs.
A farmer needs his vacation* just
as much as any man of buaineaa
needs one. A week's run to town
alter the busy season it over will do
him a world of good. And they
I need to visit other farmers, to learn,
if possible, easier or better methods
of farming or of living. They need
i to attend farmers' conventions or or
:s gani/.ulions to gain new ideas—some-
L thing to broaden or enlarge their
f | views of life. People who always
* i stay ul home are sure to see dark
i | sides and shadows of their own lives.
- They need to learn and to realize that
s storms, and droughts, and thunders,
L ' and showers and freshets visit other
I farms beside their own ; that weeds
r; and insects thrive in all degrees of
longitude; that flies and dirt accu
r in uI ate and annoy other households
1 besides the ones that they preside
over. In short, they need to learn
' how other people live. Could farm
ers manage so as to be confined less
1 to their farms, could they work more
r in other business, or could they be
' lieve it profitable to employ a higb-
M er grade of laborers—men whom they
' could trust alone for a day or a week,
" or could they earlier train their sons
H and daughters to have a care and an
'■ interest in the affairs of the housc
i hold, then they could ofleucr find the
s opportunity for leaving the farm for
4 a short season of recreation and en
- joyment, and thus Is- in reality what
1 they have the name of being, the
> most independent class of people in
* i the world.
WarU) on Horses.
)
An Illinois farmer, in a cornrnuui
-1 cation to the (Jermantown Ttk'jprj,},,
, says that "frsb, clean hog lard, rub
I bed on any hind of warts on horn *
i or cattle will remove them on three
or lour applications. I have remov
ed the wart- time after time, and
. have nrvcr been able to find the
wart for the fourtli application. If
I should send the Latin name for
. lard, and tell men to pay fifty cents
to the druggist for about two ci nts
worth of good lar 1, this remedy
I would l>e oftener used, for all
wounds and bruises, cracks on cows
teats, etc., it is better than any pat
j ent liniments or ointments."
Ibi. 11. (. I)E'i'MKRs has again been
1 appointed to investigate diseases of
stock at the Stock Yards, with the
purpose of effectually combating Ku-
I rope an prejudice against American
hogs and bog products. The P.-
partmcnt of Agriculture has marked
out a plan which contemplates the
Kxaminer establishing himself with
some packing firm which will allow
him an investigation, at will, of any
and all lots of hogs necessary to
tl. roughly test swine from all parts
f, f the country as Is ing infected with,
or free from trichina, as the case may
l>o. He w ill keep a correct record of
the lots of hogs be examines, the
exact locality from which they came,
and a full detail of his examination
and result-. If trichnia is found in
any number of hogs in a lot, he will
proco 1 to the place from which tliov
came and investigate the causes of
the infection, fcc. His thorough
knowledge of the subject, and past
experience, eminently fits the doctor
for tliis position. He has entered
upon his duties, and arranged with
P. P. Armour A. fo. to establish
himself with them, to make his exam
inations as instructed by the Hoard
I of Agriculture, and the results of his
work will be looked for with great
interest by both dealers and consum
* ers of swine products.
Tiir.nr is a now wrinkle just start
;cd about ensilage which may lc
J worth thinking al>out—that is. to al
low one half the crop of corn to ma
ture, and after securing the ears cut
the stalks up the same, as it is now
i done for the silo, with the younger
corn and mixing it all in one. This
would have the advantage that while
the matured corn-stalks would lo
just as good as the other the entire
crop of grain would lo secured, and
it would be just so much gained.
Of course the two crops would have
to be planted at ditlcrcnt dates to use
in this way. Another wrinkle is to
allow the old corn, after the ears arc
removed, to be dried, then cut up ami
add to the young green crop and
place and press in the silo.
Siikkv give two crops a year, ono
in the flcccc and one in the lambs ;
sometimes three, for in California
and Texas they shear twice a year.
