SfICE GIRDLING TREES
• A correspondent gives the following pre-
Ventive to the. New England'Farmer,
Place around your trees tubes or cylinders
Made from old waste tin, stove funnel,
yarn cans, sheet irons, or zinc, any quan
qity of which may be had for the picking up
about stove or tin shops, or perhaps on
Your, own- premises. The- tubes, may be
limn two to eight inche diameter, and
From` six inches CO any leg th you may de
sire and can fin material fr. A tinman's
alicarg and yi are all the — tools necessary
.to put them i shape for use. Cut to the
sizes you want, turn over the edges one
eighth of an inch on two sides in:opposite
directions, bring it round a tiee, clasp it
by hooking the parts turned at the edges
together, press down a little into the earth,
and you have a mouse-proof shield that will
not easily get displaced; that can be put in
position and removed in ten• seconds, and
will last a lifetime with .very little care. I
have used, and so have some of my neigh
bors those ,:shields for fifteen years - past
round the trees growing in place where
mice are most likely to abound, but have
never known of a tree being injured by the
vermin when thus protected, a while, other
trees in the same locality, left' Unprotected,
oz banked up, have been -ruined. _Theta
pense of this- shield is trifling. A tin
worker made a hundred-of various sizes tor
me; some fifteen years ago, at a cost of less
than tlliee 'cents apiece.' Most of them have
been put around the trees every winter
. since, tind they are as serviceable as when
first made. I use them in the spring about
young Cabbages and other plants, and they
prove good
_protection aviinst cat and
slug -* rms. I. sometimes fill the circular
space around a tree with coal :ashes and let
the shield remain the year round as a 'pre
ventive :of the operations of the apple !and
peach tree borer. .
STEAMING FODDER POD CATTLE
I have an idea of a process for the prepa.
ration oL fodder for stock, which I have not
had an opportunity of testing practically,
and as I may not have such opportunity at
present, I offer it to your readers for what it
is worth, as a theory or - a mere suggestion
which may possibly lead to improvement's in
the utilization of materials which are now
mostly suffered to go to waste.
About 1863, a machine was invented for
cottonlaing flax. ' It consisted of a strong
cylinder, connected at one end with a steam
boiler, at-he other it was closed by a hinged
lid. The cylinder was filled with flax, and
steam let on at a high pressure. This was
kept up till the bark was heated to the same
degree with the steam. . The cylinder was
then opened, and the sudden removal of the
pressure caused the water in the bark to ex
pand into steam with explosive force, tear
ing the woody fibres apart and rupturing
the cells.
Now my idea is that coarse fodder subjec
ted to such heat would be cooked through,
and the cells of the stalks so completely
ruptured as to better prepare it for digestion
than the .finest grinding and subsequent
cooking could da, at about th, cost of cut
ting, alone, by steam- It would put the
butts of stalks, thistles, straw and other in
ferior fodder in the best possible condition
for the animal to extract the nutriment there
from (Rains and roots may be treated in
the same way.
"Pop-Born"-iian illustration of this pro
cess. : It . is Well known that the varieties
which pop will have a layer of oil next the
surface, which confines the water inside till
it requires expansive force enough to buist
the kernel. - . •
Grain might be fed in the straw; thus sav
ing threshing and grinding of small grains,
the husking, Shelling and grinding of corn,
and the cutting - of roots. Another advan
tage is that it would destroy the vitality of
weed seeds, and fit them to nourish the an
imal.
Anyone who believes in steaming fodder
and who has a steam engine, with strong
boiler, could test my theory at no verygreat
-expense.—Neut England Farmer.
DITCHMG AND UNDERDRATICING
Isaac Sinley, a writer for the lc orthwes
4ern Farmer, gives the following ingenious
plan fit engineering without the instru
ments generally used in that profession:
Let us then engineer a little while. But
the reader has no instruments. Very well;
we will improvise for the nonce and go on
with the work. He has a gun, perhaps.
Let him take a long straight vial, with a
little colored water corked tight in it, and
fasten it to the gun on a level with the
sights. .He has now a spirit level. He
needs to assist him, a boy with a straight
stick a few feet long, on which are marked
feet and inches, when, if the boy is not
afraid of an empty gun, he is ready for work.
He selects the lowest point of the ground to
be drained. He wishes to know the depth
of the ditch required to drain it. He drives
down a stake, on which is marked with red
•chalk four feet, the depth at which he wishes
to start the ditch. He adjusts the gun in
the direction he wishes the ditch .to take,
bringing it to the level as is indicated by
the water in the' - vial. the boy moves for
ward with his pole, and following the mo
tion of the engineer's hand; sets it down in
the range of the sights of the gun, marking
on the pole the precise level as directed by
the man at the pole. The engineer finds
'that he has sighted the pole just one foot
and three inches nearer the ground than the
gun was at the first station. He finds,
therefore, that the ground ascends that much
in the distance between the two stations,
and drives another stake, adding to the four
'feet of the first station to the one foot three
incheb, and a few itches more, necessary
to produce a current in the ditch when com
pleted, which again marks the depth of the
ditch. In the.satne way he continues until
the survey 18 completed.
ErrunntruTAL "
,
Some two years ago the State Legislature
passed an act authorizing the purchase of
two farms, one in the eastern and one in the
western part of the State, to be used as ex
periments,l fain& The eastem• farm was
located, near West Chester, Chester county.
The Commissioners appointed by the Gov
ernor recently visited thiscounty and select
ed the farm owned by Mr. William McCoy,
adjoining this borough, containing ninety-
six acres; for wnich they paid ten thousand
•dollars. - They also purchased some seven
teen acres from Harry White '
adjoining the
above. ;We believe the object in purchasing
these farms is to ascertain by actual experi-
Ment the best modes of cultivating the
,dif
ferent variettes - of soil and the adoption of
certain soils to the various seeds and plants:
'The land`will be pnt into the best possible
state of cultivation, end the several experi
ments published for the benefit of, the farm,
ins interests' of the State. The location of
the - farm at this point will be of some ad
vantage to our town and also to the farmers
of our caunty.-Indiana Messenger.

estimating distances by the eye. hen ac

The Maryland Farmer gives the following
table of distances by - .Which an exact acre
can be found, which will prove a con-,

COWB rx fair condition may be milked till
within six weeks of the time of calving,
and a few roots will help them keep up - the
milk. But cows in poor and thin condition
should have longer rest. Keep 'all young
cows in milk with their first calf in as full a
flow as possible till within a few weeks of
the time of coming in , again. And they re
quire succulent food and an occasional mash
to develop the glanding system, and fix the
habit, as it were, of milking through life.
Fattening stock should be kept warmly
housed and highly fed.
For home consumption it is not desirable
to get pigs , too fat. From a year to eigh
teen months is the best age. Pork that is
too fat is not so wholesome nor so palatable
as that which is only in fair condition.
When apples are opened to take any out,
close up the barrel again. The access of
air will be sure to hasten decay.
Towards the end of the year it will pay
well to take a look into the accounts and see
hOw the operations on the farm foot up, and
to make up a Schedule of everything. Keep
square as possible with the world.—Mass.
