Handy Farm Implement.
AH farms where beets or carrots lire
frrown for stock, orn large pardon is cul
tivated, there should ho a hand g-arden
plow. There are many kinds of thcc now
and a Tory good one. can be had for four
or five dollars, and while not a substi
tute for tho hon, they are valuable to
itir the soil and kill the young weed,
and one will do the work of half a dozen
men with hoes.
Ladders are usually conspicuous by
their absence on most farms, yet they are
cheap, and if well painted, durable and
Tory coDYcnicnt.
I doubt if I ever got so much comfort
out of a dollar as by the purchase of a
coal shovel, writes AV. P. Drown in the
Count llin'ltmnn. I mean tho broad
bladed flat shovels such as are used for
handling coal in unloading cars. I find
them so convenient for scraping up the
stables, for handling cha!T or sawdust,
or shoveling menl or potatoes that I
shall never do again without one of them.
They are mado with a blade 14 inches
wide, and in handling all light material
are very speedy.
A narrow longhandlcd spade is a great
convenience. I never could use a heavy,
short handled spado long at a time
without a lame back, and for years I have
Kept one of these light spades and used
it with great satisfaction. I buy the best
steel gravel shovel and have it cut down
to six inches wide and ten inches long,
and think that I can do one-third more
work with the same outlay of strength
than with an ordinary spado in all liyht
work such as spading along the rows of
grapevines, raspberries, etc.
Fcedinjr and Watering Horacs.
The feeding of a horse should be
varied according to the purpose for
which the animal is employed, and the
size, age, etc. In many stables all the
horses are fed the same quantity without
regard to constitution or need. Kx
p;r ence and pood judgment will soon
enable one to decide the quantity needed
by eac h horse to keep it in good con
dition. If driving on the road is tho
pr ncipal work of a horse, more grain
should be fed, in proportion to tho hay,
than if used tor farming or slow work.
For a large road horse, lour to six quarts
of oats, and eighteen rounds of bright
hay, daily, ore generally sufficient. A i
horse that is kept for general purposes, j
or family driving, may be fed oats in the I
morning and uncut hay. At noon, cut
hay mixed with feed made of oats and
corn ground together, in the proportion '
of two of oats and one of corn, if at J
work; but when not at work, the noon
ration may consist of uncut hay. The .
evening ration may be of cut hav, and !
feed with a little uncut hny afterwards. ;
Timothy, cut just before blossoming, ;
if well cured and kept stored in
a dry place, makes the best hay for
horses. 'When not at work, very little i
corn meal or other heavy feed should be i
given, but oats, bran, and uncut hny. A -few
carrots with the evening meal occa- !
sionally will be very beneficial. Tock 1
salt should be kept where the horse has a j
constant access to it. If turned out to t
grass, salt often. j
The water given a horse should be
pure. Do not have the well in the barn- '
yard, for the wash will soak into it, and 1
pollute the water. If a running brook of j
clean water be convenient, lead the horse
to drink from it. A good cistern can be
made of a large hogshead sunk half way ;
into the ground, and the water from the
barn roofs led into it will be preferable ;
for the horse than very cold well water, i
A horse needs at least two pails of water !
a day, and if given half a pailful before i
meals, or four times a day, it willbesuf- '
ficicnt, unless when hard" at work in sul- j
try weather. Do not give warm water at j
any time of the year, but the chi'l may j
be taken off in winter, so that it will not I
be icy. Do not water or feed directlv I
after coming in very warm, and do not
work hard immediately after eating
heartily. Amrkan Agrieulturtit.

About fifteen years ago a small quantity
of corn fodder was cocked up, unil
through neglect four cocks were left in
the field until December, and it was then
found to be in excellent condition, ex
cept a little weather-beaten on the out
side. Prom that time we have uuillv
provided corn fodder for tho months of
September and October, ami sometimes
for November and December. Gradually
it was cocked neiirtr the time of cutting,
and for ten years had been put up green.
In that time the com on ubout fifty
acres of my own land had been coctd
directly after cutting, and not a dollar
in value has been lo-t through rot, mould
or sourness. If sweet coin is planted
thin, and is heavily cured up, perhaps it
may not be sute to cure it by this method,
but for years I raised sweet corn with a
fair show of ears and put it up green,
und it cured just as well us that without
ears. Cur. Country (J: ntl mttu.

A writer cautions farmajs from using

Old leached ashes which have absorbed

Cows fed on meal mixed with straw

In this country nearly three dollars'
worth of milk, cream, butter and ihcese
together are sold and consumed to every
dollar's worth of beef. The market for
dairy products is practically inexhaust
ible." The Oerman'oirn Telegraph suggests
that while root-pruning may do for
dwarf pear trees, grape vines and cherry
trees it would "cost more than it would
come to" to extend it to largo standard
trees.
The New Orleans Timet-Democrat says
boue-mcal and ashes doubled the crop
of grapes in Tangipahoa parish the
second year after the appl'cation, and
increased the size and quality 100 per
cent.
Potash should enter into tho composi
tion of manures for grape vines, the ele
ments in the soil being generally in bad
condition for assimilation; potash carries
forward with it in some way the other
fertilizing principles.
There is no use saving the common
turnip for late feeding. Soon after Janu
ary it becomes pithy, loses its flavor and
feeding value. The rutabaga is a better
keeper, but it also becomes pithy later in
the winter. Beets and ir.anols arc much
better feeds for cows late in the season,
and ha-e the advantage that they give no
bad flavor to the milk.
Although analysis shows little ma
norial value in c al ashes, they are un
doubtedly beneficial as a mulch for trees,
keeping the soil open and allowing rain
to soak into the soil without pushing the
surface. They are also good absorbents
of odors, and in the henhouse or privy,
mixed with their contents, they make
these valuable manures more convenient
to handle.
What is required by a hen, for a place
for her nest in winter, is a snug, warm
locution; in summer she wants a cool
place, say dry earth for a bottom, with
soft hay under it. A broken egg will
cause lice quicker anit easier than any
thing else. In tho hat hing season see
that the hen has no lice, give her sound
eggs and she will fetch out a lively
brood if she has a comfortable nest.
An example of what tome men can do
with one acre of land by judicious man
agement and the skilful application of
chemical manures we learn that a Scotch
farmer recently harvested a crop of
green top Swedish turnips which
weighed over fifty tons per ncre. But
this record is outstripped by another
Scotch farmer, who has a crop of turnips
calculated to average eighty tons per
acre, the roots of good shape, and weigh
ing from sixteen to seventeen pounds
each.
A Kansas writer In tho Xew York
Witnei tells how to get borers out of
peach ami apple trees. So soon as
newly pluuted trees start to grow in the
spring he puts a pint of soft soap in a two
gallon bucket of water, stirs it up well,
takes an old broom uud scrubs or washes
i the trees se eral times. This, ho nhv is
' a complete preventive of mischief from
j borers. But the ground around the
trees should be kept clear of weeds, a
mulch should be put around the, tiees,
i and if it is very dry they should be kept
j growing by watering regularly. Mulch
ing, by covering with leaves, btruw,
j sawdust, or in fact anything that serves
i us a cover and protection, should also be
! used us winter protection to strawberries,
to prevent them from "freezing out."
A Costly Inkstand.
Perhaps the most elaborate and costly

Japanese Hotel Keeping.
At Japanese inns a charge ranging
from forty cents to a dollar is mnde for u
day's accommodation. For less than the
forty cents a Japanese gets his lodging
and all his meals, but foreigners are so
clumsy, uut idy and destructive and theit
tastes so out of the range of Japanese
catering that they are mode to pay the
higher price, and it includes for them
the lodging aud lwdding aud all the tea,
rice and hot water they may want. If
fish, fowl or eggs are provided they arc
paid for as extras. Foreigners, in travel
ing iu tho interior, always take with
them a regular guide, who docs nil that u
courier does in Europe, and cooks and
serves the meals besides, for the sum of
la day aud his expenses. Residents
take their own cook or boy along with
them, and carry with them black tea,
coffee, wine, condensed milk, bread aud
fresh or preserved meats. Knives, forks
and spoons must bu carried as well, un
less tho traveler is un adept with chop
sticks. If one follows in the beaten tiacks he
can always get bread and fresh beef, but
off the line or in any of the small remote
places he will be unable to find those
foreign necessities, which tho rural
Japanese have not yet adopted as their
luxuries. In nearly all tea houses one
now finds chairs and tables, but tho
chairs are straight, hard and uncomfort
able, and if he wants to rest or sit nt ease
he must make an (iiieutul divan of his
futons, and find a solid end wall or post
for a prop to his back. This keeps one
to the Japanese way of living ou the
floor, nnd its there are never nails nor
hooks on Japanese wulls,he has to hang
everything up on the floor. (JUiU
