Practical Farm Topioa
I
EXPENSE or WORK HORSES —The \
ex|>ensc of keeping work liorn-i is ,
one of the heavy items of the farm t
er'a outlay. Prudence would seem to ,
dictate, therefore, that a team should (
never remain Idle. Busmena men of |
various occupations in towns and
cities, who own work horses, would
i
lie considered sn improvident class it
they allowed their stock to stand in |
the stall halt the time and "eat their
hesds off," as the saving runs. Is the !
farmer in a lielter condition to en
dure this drain? Would a farmer
think of laiardirig a lalioror and si
low him to sit in the harn or kitchen
for a week at a time? There is
hardly a day in the year when a team
cannot profitably lie employed in j
; some way, and it should he the care
of the farmer to gel all the work pos- ,
aihle out of such expensive servants.
The Xatumal Live Stock Journal
mikes some (icrlincnt suggestions on |
this (mint, and answers some of the ,
| excuses msde by farmers for the idle- ,
ness of teams. It is not true that
I learns will wesr longer and remain (
sound and heslty to greater age if
kept in the stable for long periods ,
without work. Regular ami steady
1 exercise, with judicious feeding, is
most favorable to long usefulness. It
may I* true that an idle team can tie
! winteied more cheaply and without
grain, hut the labor would tie worth
i much more than the cost of the grain
j saved, and the team would be much
i more capable ol doing full wotk in
jtie spring if kept seasonably active
j and wrll-fed through the winter. The
j food of a team represents a large
| fraction of the production of small
| ?srm", and ttie proper employment of
the lime and strength of the team is
i subject which evt-rv (ofw.crd-hiok
I mg farmer should carefully consider. !
L*i TTBH IN CROCKS..—A correspoo j
•ut who write- to the ffural Seu
Voter (or an explanation of the un
~lmvit fact that butler made from
leraey cows ls*l summer and packed
•aretully in Die gallon crocks is now j
feted from its original golden yel
low. and smells and tastes like tal- I
low, receives some instruction which
-hould be generally heeded. Other
'miter makers who hare put their
trust ID jars and crocks hare taken I
up this same lamentation, for, m
truth, these are the most unworthy of |
butter packers. It they are perfectly
glued, that is,covered with a vitreous
costing so thick and bard that the
salt and acid and fat of the butter '
' will not ent through it, the content ie
safe. Hut the enamel is usually thin.'
and whenever it ia oracked or eaten
through the butter is expoeed to a
porus clay surface. Clay is an excel
lent absorbent and deodorizer, and it
will lake away tbs flavor of the
butter as readily as it will
absorb offensive odors. It will toak
up the oiain like a sponge—and with
the olein goes the oolor partly—
leaving that portion next the clay
bleached almoat white. If anyone
will try the experiment of dropping
a little oil upon the raw aorface of a
crack he will be aurprieed at the rap
idity witb which it vanishes, and be
need not be surprised afterward if
butter packed in a Jar of Ibis sort
soon becomes tasteless.
EITHER tea or coffee long boiler),
drives aroma into the air, sod pleases
the noalrita, but disappoints the pal
ate. A good way is to scald like tee,
clear with tablespoon full of cold wa
ter and let it keep hot ten minntee or
more, but never boil it Tea ie best
drank two minutes after eoalding.
CauroßNiA farmer* rait* i<ty.two
boabela of sun Sower seed to tie acre,
and after grinding a gallon of oil
from each bushel, feed the refuse to
ciiickcaa and cows.

Market Gardening
Increased sit- ntion is h<ing given
to this hisncli of husbandry, and it <
hss proved profitable to nearly all
who have engaged in it. There is ex* <
eeptlonal years when some crops are I
short or fail altogether, hut where
one understands the business and is <
not too far from a good market, sue- i
cess may be expected. This kind of (
farming requires a larger outlay for ,
'plant" than common farming. Glass, ,
houses, or glass 'or hot-beds, must fie
provided, and Increased capital will (
lie required for dressing to lie sup- ,
plied to the land, for two or three
ero| a year, and good produce for
the inaiket means very heavy manur
ing. We have heard of one case
where a man only cultivate forty
aciea, and yet annually uses one
thousand cords of manure, at an ex
pense of about seven thousand dol
lars.
In other wsys than those we have !
mentioned, capital will need to lie
employ ed, so that no one with quite
limited means can successfully en
unge largely in this business. It is
true, there sre cases where men have
commenced with small means and
wot kid up, and it is possible |ierhaps
to do it, but the rn-jority of those j
who attempted it would tie likely to
fail under such circumstances. This j
business requires brains and much
hard wi.ik as well as capital. It is
not like ordinary country farming, in
that there is really little or no leisure
time, winter or summer, rsin or shine.
When one is successful the profits are
good. Some adopt certain s|<ecial- j
ties adapted to their soil or location. '
snd so make more money* than they I
would to grow a large j variety of j
crops.
In selecting land fur a market farm,
one should have in view somewhat
the kind of crops he wishes to raise.
I f he wishes to rai&e celery, he must I
have moist land naturally, or that,
which can lie irrigated. Oilier crops
may require |ieculiar soil. Glass is '
used much more than formerly. With ,
out donbt, there sre single vegetable I
growers in the vicinity of Ibiston
who have more glass employed in
their business than could have Is en j
found twenty years ago with all the j
farmers of the whole town and per- j
haps of a whole county. The de
mand lor lettuce all through the win- (
1 tcr and for forced cucumber has in
creased immensely, ami these two
' crops stone require s large amount ot
glass and Isbor. The market for
early grown and fine vegetables ia
constantly increasing, so that ooe
need have no fear in entering upon
the business that there will not al
; way a be a ready sale. Young men.
1 whose tastes lend them in this direc
| lion and who are able to command
the necessary capital, bould look
carefully into this matter, and if they
decide to enter upon the busineaa
study the best methods and reaolve
to produce only the very best crop* ;
| and they will be quite sure to reap
satisfactory returns.
|
Gxist may be picked, aays the
Farm Journal , two or three tiroes dor
in the summer. The time to piek ia
j when the feathers are ripe. This can
, be learned by plucking a few. If they
come out eaaily and the quills
are clear they are ripe, aa it is called.
If they pull hard and the quills are
Oiled with a bloody fluid, tbey must
be left a litUe longer. In picking
take only a few feathers between the
thumb aod linger and give a abort
quick jerk downward. Practice will

LATE MODLTINO.— Fowls that

contract diseases such aa roup. The
older a fowl is the Ister it moults.
When this period arrives they be
come reduced in flesh, lose their
feathers and appetite, and need ton
ics and stimulant*. Warm masbre,
savored with pepper, salt and consid
erable grease, give tone to the failing
, appetite and encourage • steady
growth. A plentiful supply of ani
mal food ia also good. Iron in the
drink is of service, but do not dose
too much ; only sufficient to even the
failing appetite. Frequently a change
of food will bring about these result*
