WINTEIl DAIUYINQ NOT IMPRACTICABLE.
It is thought and said by some that
winter dairying can not be followed as a
rule becauso the cows will not breed in
the season required. This is a mistake.
Cows are entirely artificial, and while
undomcsticatcd animals through the
necessity of their condition, Supply of
food aud suitable weather being the chief
of these, drop their young in the spring,
this rule docs not apply to domesticated
animals. Cows may bo bred at any sea
son of tho year, and any farmer who
wishes to change from summer to winter
dairying will find no difficulty in the way
mentioned if he will keep back his cows
until the desired season. December or
January is the best month for breeding
cows for this purpose. It is not to be
feared that every dairyman will nnko
this change at the same time and so dis
turb the common order of things, for
many preparations are required besides
fresh cows. American Agricultunit.
W1IET FOtt FERTILIZER.
There may be as much fertility in whey
as in the best commercial fertilizer. A
farmer who did not havo Paris green
enough to go over his patch of potatoes,
and the Colorado beetle being quite de
structive, tested very sour whey as bug
destroyer. Its use checked the insects
somewhat, and he made two subsequent
applications of it. llo found at digging
timo that the whey had more than
doubled the crop. This could not be
attributed to the moisture of the whey,
for the season was wet. There are other
evidences that whey nnd milk-washings
nro loaded with fertility. Let cither of
these bo thrown on the turf iu the same
spot a number of times, aud it will kill
tho grass. The stench soon arising from
such a spot- iu warm weather is proof
that theso substances contain much ani
mal matter. Milk-washings should be
bo disposed of as to conserve sweetness
and fertility nt the samo time. Xcu

TRANSPLANTING ONIONS.
"W. J. Green, of the Ohio Farmers'
jtfjS3te-St"..'iivt, rayoxta very
great success in transplanting onions.
The seeds were siwn in beds in a green-,
house February 25, which is consider
ably earlier than they could bo put in out
of doors. The young plants were six to
eight inches high when transplanted in
April, tt which timo a bed was prepared
and grown in tho usual way. The
manuring and cultivation of each bed
wa3 tho same except the transplanting.
The onions were left three inches apart
in the row, which in those grown from
seed involved extra labor in thinning
nearly as great as that from transplant
ing. Tho difference between the two
beds was markedly in favor of those
transplanted, from the very first. Six
;kiuds of onions were experimented with,
'and in each case the yield of those trans
planted was much tho largest. Giant
Hucca yielding 1108 bushels and 596
bushels respectfully; Yellow Danvers
yielding 594 bushels and 389 bushels;
Ked Wetherucld, 779 bushels and 560
bushels by tho two methods. The
greater size and uniformity of tho trans
planted ouions made them much more
salable, and they also matured earlier.
Professor Green estimates that thcro was
nearly half the labor of cultivating saved
by having tho onion transplanted. Even
wero it otherwise, it is evident that
- transplanting is well worth trying. It
is especially adapted to market gardeners,
but any farmer who is far enough ad
vanced to grow onions as a crop will also
need a greenhouse, so that in this re
spect he will have equal advantages with
;the market gardener.
SELKCTISO A SOW.
An English swiuc-brceder says that in
selecting sows threo or four points de
mand attention. First, the animal should
bo &trong and healthy. Delicate speci
mens aro frequently duinty feeders, and
they should be avoided, for they give
much trouble. Secondly, the sow should
bo long, and have good shoulders, back
aud loins. A u-r,.v-backed pig often
rises with difficulty, and frequently
smothers one of her offspring. Thirdly,
long logs are to bo condemned, for sows
which have this defect carry too much
of the race-horse in them. Lastly, there
should be a full complement of teats.
; He adds: "It is very annoying to find
your sow has but ten teats when she has
brought you a litter of twelve strong pigs,
for tho two unfortunate members of the
litter which are not provided for must
either be killed (which no ono likes to
do) or be reared at considerable incon
venience. Under such circumstances as
these I have found it the best plan to
leave tho pigs with their mother until it
is clear which has to run short, and then
touch it to diiuk from a teacup. This
can bo very quickly accomplished by
holding the pig in one hand aud the
milk iu tho ether, gently pressing the
head iuto the cup. Tho young sow
ishould bo brought to tho boar for tho
firs: timo when about eight months old.
If she has been carefully managed until
'tbat age sho will ba of good size, uud
nothing will be gained "by keeping her
.longer miniated. She should not be
p:i:upcic 1 at any time, but be fed regu

KUKl'INU CAUBAUK I.N WINTER.
Tim different methods of keeping cab
jba.jo during thu wiuter are u numerous,
lalmoM, us ire the varieties of cubbuge
gr iwu, mid nearly ull methods have their
jicconls of success uud failure. Therein
!u doubt that much depends upou the
jii.-. ..!! , AU-a conditions of the wiuter,
u I that a iucthu4 which puved wi-
nent'y successful during severe winter
Would give indifferent results during a
mild or open one. The cabbage grower
must therefore citbor strike a medium
or else adapt his methods to Suit tho
varying conditions of the winter; There
aro two of tho different methods of
stor.iTg cabbage which we havo found
satisfactory. Ono is to select a high
piece of ground to afford natural drain
age. A light mat or bed is made with
dry Ktraw, about the width of two cab
bago hends, and as long ns may be do
sired. The cabbages are pulled up, care
fully carted to this placo and then, hav
ing tho outsido loaves neatly closed
against tho hends, tho plants are placed
roots uppermost on tho straw, and as
closely together as possible, making two
compact rows, A few inches of straw
are put carefully on tho cabbage and
earth is thrown on gradually to tho
depth of about a foot, drawing iu tho
roots to form the top of a ridge. Tho
earth is taken alongside of the row, thus
affording additional drainage, while the
mound while tho mound when finished
must be well packed down with the back
of tho spade. When this is finished, a
row of corn fodder is piled along each
sido to still further protect from tho
weather. This will keep off both rain
and cold, if properly placed. In taking
o.it any cabbage during winter, at once
cover up tho row to protect the remain
ing heads. Another method is to plant
the cabbage roots downward instead or
inverting them and then pursuing tho
samo general plan as above. If there is
a root cellar (.not underneath the dwel
ling house, as vegetables should never
be stored there), the cabbage can be
stored there in almost tho same manner
except that no litter need bo used, and
instead of earth a small quantity of sand,
there being but 'ittle covering needed to
protect from cold when thus sheltered,
and what is used being to keep the cab
bages from drying out. Iu whatever
manner cabbages aro stored, if it is do-
sired to keep iu prime condition, tho
roots must not bo removed until tho
heads aro needed for use or shipment.
Kats and mice aro very fond of this veg
etable, and growers must do all they can
to keep them out. As the straw used in
storing makes fine nests for them and
tho cabbage affords plenty to eat, these
rodents naturally like to find such quar
ters to pass tho winter. American Agri
culturitt. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Frcpare ground well for winter wheat.
As the pastures shorten, lengthen ra
tions. Calves need to be fed their food at
blood heat.
Cruelty to an intelligent animal begets
viciousness.
Alwnys have something oa hand that' 1
a icam can no,
A pood farmer is pretty likely to have
a good garden.
Keep ducks and geeso separate from
tho other poultry.
Turkey hens mature earlier, as. a rule,
than the gobblers.
Don't pour your water on flower beds;
always use a sprinkler.
The profits of poultry keeping depend
on attention to little things.
The semi-starvation of young stock is
one of the farmers' absurdities.
As a rule, farmers cultivate their land
too poorly and sow too much seed.
It does not pay to keep an animal for
its beauty. Ibis world demands use.
Don't have your pig's teeth kept soro
by cracking hard, dry kernels of corn.
Don't think that because a pig is thor
oughbred ho will thrive and grow fat on
a less daily ration than the mongrel.
Let tho stalls ba separated by parti
tions, not by bars. They prevent the
horses from biting and kicking each
other.
It is said that typhoid fever has been
traced to a dirty pig pen, the virus com
ing into the house on the unwashed feet
of flics.
Attend the fairs, farmers' meetings
and institutes. If you have learned any
thing this season, don't be afraid to let
your neighbors know it.
The change from warm to cooler weath
er and the hot days and cold nights
are apt to produco in horses, if not
looked after properly, severe coldi.
Hogs and pigs may do well sleeping
on the ground in dry, warm weather,
but they need shelter and a dry bed
these cool nights when heavy dews fall.
Duck culture is now a very important
part of poultry keeping and yet within a
few years, people did not suppose that
ducks wero worth keeping for profit.
They now know better.
Twenty drops of carbolic acid to a ten
quart pail of drinking water, removing
cnickens and burniug sulphur in the
house they occupy, is an effectual remedy
for chicken cholera. Try it.
Fowls that have free range in the
fle'.d or meadow will bo certain to bo
benefited and find plenty to livo upon;
give them a little whole corn or wheat
at night and they ought to shell out tho
eggs.
Some farmers will, no doubt, clear
several hundred dollars out of this sea
son's flock of chicks. Can you not say
you can. lliny supply their household
needs from their flock of fowls. Why
not you?
A hen that lays soft shelled eggs now
is weak from moulting, and needs lime
and grit aud good wholesome food; lime
iu the wuter is good, and should be used
when you find the condition of the flock
demands it.
Professor Baily says: "It may not be

Mulching raspberries is a very good
practico where it is practicable. The
mulch must be put on thickly enough to
keep dowu weeds, or it will be more

of seven iuchea mil a half by six iuches
aud a half would give No. 7, aud so on.
The usual size for au adult Englishman
is a No. 7. Germans havo round heads,
Muyhtys small ones. Tho heads of Por

ALCOHOL AND CUILDUOOD.
1'rofesaor Demmo, of Berne, at the recent
International Alcohol Congress at Chris
tiann, presented an interesting report of an
investigation which he had made as to the
influence of alcohol upon children. Having
unusual opportunities for this study from his
position as siierinten(tent of a hospital for
children, he selected two groups of ten fam-
ilies each, under similar external environ
ment. One group of fltty-seven was mani
festly ntfix'teil more or less by alcohol- the
other sinty-ono was unaffected, or at least
very little affected. Of tho flftv-ceven who
exhibited the effects of alcoholism twenty
had inebriate fathers, the mothers and grand
parents being moderate drinkers. Only forty
live per cent, of these (nine) bail healthy con
stitutions; thirty-one had inebriate fathers
nnd grandfathers, but temperate mothers
and grandmothers. Only two of these, or a
little over six per cent., were healthy, Six
children hnd parents and grandparent in
temperate; one of these survives, a sufferer
f rom epileptic seisures. In remarkable con
trast is thu state of the sixty-one children
lielonging to temperate families, eighty-two
per cent, of whom enjoy good health, three
have died and eight aro in tiad health . Iro
lessor Deinme also reported the results of an
experiment on several children, from whom
ah intoxicant wero kept during eight
months, and to whom the usual allowanced
wine and wnter was given during the re
maining four months of the year. Those
.children were reported to have slept mora
soundly and longer, and to have appeareu In
lietter spirits and more active during the uoi
alcoholic eight months than during the alco
holic four months. British Medical Jour
nal. TEMPRRANCK AND LONOKVITT.
An endeavor was recently made to show
that total abstainers do not live so long
as those who consume alcohol in moderation;
nlso, straugo to sav, that those who often
drink to excess outlive the teetotalers. State
ments purporting to come from the medical
profession in England were adduced in sup
port. The whole story had a suspicious ap
pearance. The facts were evidently cooked,
but so skillfully as to deceive unwary people.
All persons iRissessing common sense aro
aware that an execssivo consumption of al
cohol loads to ill health and a high rate of
mortality. But many ore not convinced
that even what is called moderate indulgence
tends to lessen the duratiou of life. The
United Kingdom Temjierance and General
Provident Institution, London, England, has
two classes of insurance, one for total ab
stainers, nnd another for temperate people
who are not total abstainers. All insurance
offices carefully avoid insuring the lives of
drunkards, or of those whom they suspect to
be inclined to ovtr-indulgence. That of it
self is surhcHut to show that the universal
exei-iunce of life ofjiees is that alcoholic ex
cess means a high rate of mortality. The
direct-, of the before mentioned institution
at their last annual meeting reported that
for the total-abstinence section on the whole
number of lifo policies for every 100 claims
estimated to fall due by the actuary's tables
there were only fifty-nine deaths, but that in
the general section that is, among those
who drank in strict moderation the deaths
amounted to eighty-six out of the expected
1U0. Therefore, out of equal numbers of two
lots of insurers total abstainers and tem
jierate men the abstainers showed forty
tire )xl- cent, better than the temperate
firiukor. Toronto Mail.
DHL'SKAUD MA.KK1H I! COXVENTIO'J.
A convention of liijuor dealers has just
ndjournej after a session nt Joliot, III. It
is projx-r that tho discussion relating to
their interests should be hold under tho
shadow of a penitentiary. Whisky is re
sponsible for most of the crimes committed
against good morals aud honorable citizen
ship. If this boly of men have supposed they
can bring about a modification ot tuo dram
shop act in Illinois, or in any other State
whare public opinion has grown against the
promiscuous drinking o whisky at public
bars, these men are mistaken. Sentimeut In
this direction is beyond the swaddling-cloth
stage. Intelligent men nnd women are fully
nlive to the initpiity of continuous dram
drinking aud its twin evil, gambling, and
the crimes that grow therefrom. There
must be iucreused safeguards agaiust selling
to minors and couflrmed drunkards.
This is a stepping-stone to something
bettor. The saloon element cau never, here
after, overslaugh publio opinion in auy
State that is on the up-grade from drunken
ness to sobriety. Public oninion has been
awakened to the vice of saloon drunkenness,
or habitual saloon drinking. The people at
large will stand more and more solidly
against too insidious attacks of whisky
makers and whisky sellers. The influence of
(froggery keepers will, we think, never again
rule politics as it has heretofore, even iu our
great cities. Iu the country it certainly
will not.
One of the first acts of the farmers' party,
if it ever arrives to dignity as a real party,
must be to frown down upon any candidate
who is "hail fellow well met," among that
class who meet iu groggei ies to make up a
tickat; who irateruize with those who suy.
"what will you take, boys." We must send
sober men to our legislatures and to Con
