TIIE FARM AND GARDEN.
THE DUST I! HAT.
There is, as all farmers know, more or
less dust in all hay, and this, if taken Into
the lungs, is very injurious to horses fed
on it. Clover hay and that of timothy
cut in the bloom aro especially liablo to
be dusty, and often gives horses the heaves
when fed on cither of these. Slightly
wetting the hay will prevent this injury.
Tho better way is to cut the hay, slightly
moisten it and throw on it a little corn
and oats ground together, taking care not
to give more than will le eaten clean at
each feed. Between meals tho rack may
bo filled with fresh straw, which the
horse will pick over, nnd which may then
be used as bedding. Aie York Korhl.
HACKS KOH FKKIHXO SIIKEP.
As much as possible the feeding of
sheep in winter should be done under
shelter, and tho coarse feed especially
ought to be kept where it can be reached
during the night. A rack is made by
. . . .: i i . i i
, - uiiii iinrrww ouarus, w mi wine, open
l kSIs between each, and tho boards
o eloscr. llnii0lj boti, at t ftml i)ottm t0
the crosspieces. A long box made thus
will accommodate ouo sheep to each
opening. If tho flock is reasonably eveu
iu strength, there will be no injurious
crowding at tho feeding ricks. They arc
usually made about four feet high, "thus
allowing the coarse manurclo pile about
them to the cYpth of a foot without dan
ger of the sheep breaking over.
FOIl TIIE sick mis.
If your pigs are sick do not nt once
dose them with n lot of medicine. Keep
their feed away a little, nud feed lightly
for A few days. A change of feed may
be just the thing needed, especially if you
have been stutling them with corn or
corn meal. It is very easy to clog pisrs
ou a single diet. They know no better
than to cat until it n.akes them sick.
Tho feeder ought to know better. Young
stock of all kinds should be permitted to
only fairly plump themselves out and not
make themselves pot-bellied. I5ut corn
in any shape will not afford them sufficient
nourishment. It ig deficient in muscle
and bono material. But if plenty of
skimmed milk is fed with it, the ration
is very much improved. Then if nn
equal weight of wheat bran, shorts or
middlings is mixed with the corn meal,
the ration is better yet and more econom
ical. Wilntts.
GOOD IOTATO SEED.
Vnless the farmer believes that any
feed potatoes are good enough to plant,
he will do well to look carefully to the
source of his supply of potato seed this
spring. Size is not the important matter
so much as maturity and abundance of
starch. We have known small, wcll
npened tubers to produce largo crops.
Their chief objection is having too many
eyes, producing a great number of
sprouts, which crowd each other and de
crease the yield much as siifh crowding
would with anything else. If small po
tatoes are used dig out all the eyes save
two, and let these ho well developed.
Where large potatoes are cut to ono or
two eyes this often makes very small
pieces at the seed ends. It is better in
such cases to dig out some of the eyes
and cut the pieces of larger size. More
than one sprout is often produced from
a single eye, especially on rich soil aud
wheu planted deeply. American Cultica
tor. WIIV BCTTER IS BRITTLE.
A farmer asks why his butter is brittle
and crummy and breaks instead of cut
ting smoothly with the knife. This ques
tion may be answered by simply saying
because it is winter butter, or to go
further, that winter butter usually con
tains a greater proportion of the hard fat,
margarine and less of the soft fat, oeline,
than summer mudo butter. But cold
weather alone is not' wholly responsible.
Feed has an influence on the character of
butter. Cows are more likely to get poor
bog hay and dry, weather-beaten corn
stalks or straw in winter than in summer
when fresh, sweet grasses are abundant.
If cows are kept iu warm, clean stables
and are fed an abundance of nutritious
hay and grain, such as corn-meal, good
bran and oil-meal and tho milk is well
handled, there need be no difficulty in
having butter that will cut smoothly
with the knife. Cows recently fresh in
milk will produce a better grade of but
ter than those that have given milk
several months. America. Dairyman.
GI'.ASS FOR AN OHCIIARD.
Grass is not a good crop for an
orchard. It tends to form a mat on the
surface, which is injurious to the trees.
Clover alone is better than any grass.
Orchard grass is badly named, except for
the reason that it grows well under the
trees, and for its own sake does well in
orchards, but it is quite the reverse for
the trees. The matted roots are apt to
gather about the stems of the trees and
injurethem. Timothy is equally bad for
the trees, as it forms a denser sod, irhilo
clover is loose and open, forms a protect
ing mulch, over the roots of the trees,
and leaves a large quantity of decaying
niatter iu aud on the soil. Six pounds of
clover seeil per acre is enough for seed
ing an orchard. As soon as the young
trees make an excessive growth of wood,
it is time to sow the orchard with clover.
The clover may remain three for four
years aud by that time it will probably
he well to plow the ground aud leavo it
fallow for one season, or manure it and
take a crop of potatoes or peas and then
sow clover again. The clover may be
mown for hay, and the second growth
pastured by pigs which will eat the fallen
fruit.
GRt'BS IN CATTLE'S BACKS.
Just now a great relief may be af
forded cattle by removing from their
backs the grubs of the gad or hot fly
with which many of them will be found
infested. These large grubs are equiva
lent, for all evil consequences, to as
many running ulc rs, for a large quanti
ty of muscular tissue is destroyed and
broken down into the puss, which is
consumed by the parasites. The con
stant irritation caused by them is a
waste of nervous tun e which aid iu the
injurious results. cow which has had
foity-sevea of these grubs in her back
and dowu the sides, over the ribs, was
freed from them, the operation taking up
nearly one hour aud a hall', ami some of
tho holes had to be cut a little to extract
the grub by squeezing. Jn two weeks
the cow gained ei-Ut pounds in weijjin
and increased iu millc from eleveu to
seveulecu quarts daily. The cost of the
grubs was therefore equal to tho value if

FERTILIZING WITrf CLOVER.
A system of rotation end plowing like
the following will, in a few yrs, work
wonders on any soil. When a crop of
small grain is sown in tho spring, sow a
liberal amount of medium clover and tho
next year after cutting the hay early, let
the second crop go to seed and plow un
der when well matured. The next year
plant a crop, nnd when harvested plow
fully as deep as beforo which brings the
clover seed to the surface for a most lib
eral stocking. The clover seed contains
so much oil that it will not. rot while in
the ground, and still being covered so
deeply will not germinate while there.
There being such an amount of seed, if
some does winter kill plenty more will
not. Then sow a crop nnd the ground
is well seeded again with clover, nnd an
other crop of hay cut as before. And so
for a scries of years, harvesting a crop
of grain the first year, corn or
potatoes the second year, grain tho
third year nnd clover hay tho
fourth year. By this process the soil
will improve in fertility wonderfully
every year, nnd no expense for clover
seed after the first season. Of courso tho
above is a good system to adopt on nny
land, but as sandy soil is considered of
but little value, I suggest this way of
renovating it. In a recent conversation
with an old farmer from New York, ho
told me that, by the process above given,
farms in his vicinity that a few years ago
could be bought for a song, Bre now
worth $101) an acre. There aro many
points of excellence in sandy land. The
ground can be worked earlier in the
spring than clayey soil. The crops ma
ture earlier. It is cosier cultivated.
It cau be worked sooner after a heavv
rain. The potato and all other root
crops are far superior in quality. If the
cultivated crops are tilled as often as
they should be in a dry season, they will
stand tho drouth nearly if not quite as
well as on clay soil Wetttrn Farmer.
RAISINO MANGEL WTRZEL8.
Whcrs ensilage is used root crops are
going out of the fashion, nnd it i9 well
that it is so, for the great use for the root
crop is principally to supply, after the
green food season is over, succulent food
of a watery nature to restore in a measure
the lack of that element iu the form of
dried grass which we name hay. Now,
cornstalk ensilage supplies this food in a
far cheaper way, while its nutrient value
is somewhat higher pound for pound.
Though the weight of feed that can be
raised per aero is greater from mangel
than from cornstalk, yet I doubt whether
in practice the weight of tho former on
an average exceeds that of tho latter. In
corn raising we do about all the work up
to the gathering of the crop by ma
chiucry, whereas in the raising of man
gels there is of necessity a good deal of
linger work. Again, while cornstalks aro
put in condition for the animal by a sin
gle process for the entire mass, in feed
ing mangels we must cut or pulp each
individual lot. The homo of root culture
for stock feed is England, where the
temperature does not admit of tho rais
ing of Indian corn.
Low, rather moist, strong land will
grow by far a greater crop of mangels
than higher and lighter soil, but those
grown on lighter soil will contain more
sugar, and will therefore be moro val
uablo for food, though this fact does not
make it wiso to grow them on poor up
land clay soil; but if it is friable,
that is, of a crumbly nature, it will
make excellent mangel soil. All land
needs deep plowing, nnd eight cords
of good manure to tho acre plowed in.
Besides this 500 pounds of some good
phosphate well mixed with the soil in tho
drill will pay as an investment. The
drills should bo as much as twenty-eight
inches apart to admit the use of the culti
vator, and where land is cheap they had
better be thirty to thirty-six inches apart.
If the land is ridged we have smooth man
gels, though I have not noted any in
crease iu hulk. The ovoid and globular
varieties aro the sorts I noted growing in
Kngland and France. These have less
waste about them thau the long sorts, but
in average cultivation do not yield as
much bulk. Seed shsuld be used very
liberally, eight to ten pounds to the acre,
as the best of seed will not all germinate,
owing perhaps to the want of sufficient
moisture to soturato the spongy cover
ing, which is necessary to enable the lit
tle seed hidden within to sprout. I
never saw poorer stands of mangels than
in France, where farmers having had but
a few acres under cultivation may be as
sumed to have taken all precautions to
insure a crop.
Sow the seed as much as an inch and
a half below the surface iu sod that 'has
been thoroughly worked, aud in none
other should it bo planted. Thin to a
distance which has relation to the quan
tity of manure applied; with very high
manuring fifteen inches is a limit, for
average manuring half that distance.
Mangels come the nearest to rhubarb in
the raukuess of the manure they will de
vour. 1 have raised heavy crops on soil
so heavily fed with refuse salted porgies
that the straw of the oat crop which fol
lowed them was as salt as if it had been
pickled. I'ull them before the occurrence
of frosts to any degree severe, otherwise
we lose the fcediug value of the leaves
which are worth for weight nearly as
much as the roots themselves and a freeze
that catches the exposed tops will cause
them to turn dark aud surely rot. After
they arc hurvested allow the earth adher
ing to them to dry before storing, when
it will mostly drop off when loading iuto
carts.
Tho man.;el is very easily kept. Frosts
and rats are its chief enemies. If to go
in a root cellar put them iu at any con
venient depth and throw a covering of
waste hay over them. If to be kept in
the ground dig a pit where rats do not
abound in a dry spot two or three feet
deep, till to six inches above the surface,
' theu throw on a little dry brush, then a
! layer of earth and cover this with bed-
ding stuff, addiug a few rails or sup-
pliugs to prevent blowing away. Carrots
would surely heat up and rot if pitted
j half as deep. Mangels undergo some
change in their nature so that they aro

Now that the Stewart mansion it to be
come a clubhouse, says a New York
paper, it has come out that it contained
ono sacred apartment. It was on the
second floor, and furnished at a cost of
t50,000. Thcro were cnrpeU and furni
turo of the most expensive kind, a crys
tal chandelier, marblo statues and fine
paintings. It was fitted up for the use of
General Grant, then in tho first year of
his term as President of tho United
States. It will bo recalled that General
Grant sent A. T. Stewart's namo to tho
Senate for Secretary of tho Treasury. It
was then discovered that tho Constitu
tion would not permit an adopted citizen
to take this place. But Mr. Stewart, ap
preciating the President's desire to honor
him, became from that moment a warmer
friend than ever of General Grant. This
room in his palatial mansion was fur
nished expressly for tho uso of the Presi
dent. A latchkey to the mansion and a
key to tho room were sent to him, with
tho directions that whenever ho wanted
to como to New York and have a resting
spell this room would bo at his disposal.
General Grant, iu the eight years that he
was Prcsideut, occupied it many times.
Finding Water With a Divining Uod.
The divining-rod as a meat's of finding
a good supply of water stood a successful
trial recently at Oundlc, England. W.
Todd, n landowner, requiring a well on
a portion of his property, sent for a
"diviner'' named Pearson. There had
been considerable difficulty in obtaining
a supply of water in the town, and the
Oundlo Commissioners had spent $ 100 in
trial borings, conducted by a professional
man, which proved futile. In the pres
senco of a number of spectators, Pear
son, with tho usual V-shapcd hazel twig,
walked over the estate. In several places
the twig was visibly agitated, but tho
"diviner" kept on until the twig almost
bent itself double in his hands. At this
spot a well was sunk, with the result that
at seventeen feet water was found in such
abundance that it rapidly roso to within
three feet of the surface, at which height
it has since remained. During tho mak
ing of tho well the water percolated into
it so rapidly that at frequent intervals
operations had to be suspended to pump
out the water.
A great show of canary birds was held
recently iu the Crystal Palace, London,
