AND GARDEN. THE FARM CORN MEAL FOR CHICKS. Corn meal dough is not sufficient food | for chicks, but when each mess of the corn meal is mixed with fresh milk, in. | stead of water, the value of the mess is | increased. Chicks should, however, have | a variety of food, and will eat any kind | of seeds or small grain, especially broken wheat. Milk is excellent, but the chicks | are liable to get wet with it, or the milk | may become too sour and breed disease. H mixed with corn meal, and the mess eaten up clean, the chicks will relish it and thrive on the mixture. Farm and Fireside. | GRAPTING THE GRAPE. | In grafting grapevines that are an inch | or more in diameter, cut them off two or three inches below the surface of the ground, then insert the cion just as you would in a branch of un apple tree of the same size. Wind with a piece of cord or bass bark--no wax should be used and after tying, draw the soil back, cov- ering the stock and cion, leaving only the upper bud on the la*ter exposed. We prefer performing the operation early in the spring as possible, or as soon as the frost is out of the ground, and be fore the buds show any signs of growth. Some vineyardists cut the cioos in win- ter and store them in a cool place where they will remain dormant until the vines have pushed some of their leaves, then the cions ar as we have di- rected. We may say, however, that grafting the grape ) ns inserted rarely a success ex cept when performed by those who have had considerable ¢ xperienc Try in the pro pagation of vines, it, and sect the eded experience. —4 4 Ercan Agr i HOW TO GET SATURAL WATER CRESS, Every clear running stream of water, rreat depth, may be easily mad grow a crop of salad in the form cress without price.

The process is repeated until the land is thor. oughly cleared. A writer who has re. ported the matter to the National Stock man and Farmer, says that ‘‘by thus starving them” the sheep will ‘‘eat all kinds of weeds and bushes, with no per. mavent loss of flesh or health,” and adds that he has seen some of the land which was ‘well and cheaply” cleared in this manner, After three or four seasons of this kind of clearing, the land is ready to plow and there is ‘‘no hard, laborious grubbing or breaking of plows or strain. ing teams plowing away roots.” We do not doubt that sheep can be made to clear the land of bushes and weeds, but it must be pretty hard work for the sheep and also be an expensive method for their owner, A man can drive a nail with a good watch, but it is cheaper for him to use a hammer, So a man can clear land by the use of sheep, but anax and a bush scythe would enable him to do the work to better ad- | vantage, — American Dairyman, TOURG STOCK.

Therefore, specially good management is necessary in chang- ing the young things from the dry feed of winter to the unripe grasses of spring. Jt she change is made suddeuly an at tact of scours will check their growth for a month perhaps. If ensilago and roots have been fed during the winter, the change to grass will not cause such disturbance as would ocour in a change from dry bay, which is the usual ration | of young stock on most farms, Such changes are best made gradually, and some dry feed should be given each day at the stable, or from troughs or racks at the pasture , until the grasses gain substance. any fargers send their rtock to the pastures too early in spring for the good either of the stock dc the res. The treatment, most of them come to the bap in the fall about one-half as large as they should beat that age. Stable care and feed, with a yard to run in during pleas- | ant weather, but with free sccess to cover during the heat of the day, has boer found by many progressive farmers t give much the best results. { and clover hay, will give growth to do light the farmer's eve, while the develop. ment thus secured is the kind needed to make good dairy cows of the heifer calves, provided they are of good dairy blood. Lambs are not usually weaned until some time after they come to grass With them, therefore, the change from | | winter to spring rations is not likely to | cause serious trouble, of bran oroats each day for awhile, after they go to pasture, will be well returned in extra growth.
