THE FARM AND GARDEN.
STADl.B FLOORS.
ITorse stable floors should bo made
tight and Ic?el. Absorbent beddiutjs
and thorough cleaning will remore any
objection to odor from urine which can
not be got rid of iu slated floors. Sand,
Mwdust and ground plaster are excellent
cleansers of the stables. A horse with
tender feet or ankles suffers from stand
ing on sloping floors. A horse from
sprained stifle or hock, or bruised kneo,
is kept in perpetual torment by sloping
floors. Knuckled horses owe much of
their ailment to sloping floors. Ameri

CUT AND GROUND FOOD.
The farmer who has never used a
fodder cutter and wha feeds whole grain
would do well to mnko an experiment in
the use of cut and ground food. If he
does not find that one-third of the fodder
and grain is Fared, and that the animals
do better when thus fed, it will bo be
cause he wastes food by giving more
than the animals can consume. Cut feed
and clean troughs, with just r.ppetite
sufficient to tnke a little more, is the best
for the stock and for the owner, and
where only ten or twelve head are fed,
the saving in the lirst year will pay for
the cutter and a mill to grind the grain.

BEEDMNO VAtitliTIKS OF FRl'IT.
The dependence on nurseries rather
than on home-grown fruits diminishes
the chance for finding new and valuable
seedling varieties. Occasionally a graft
or bud fails, and the natural sprout tak
ing its place is supposed to be the im
proved variety until it gets into bearing.
Unless these instances uro wrongly re
ported, a larger proportion of seedling
fruit has considerable moro value than is
often thought. The proportion would
be still larger if seeds lrom only the best
of fruit grown in years favorable for its
highest excellence were used for raising
nursery stock. The plan pf mny nur
serymen is, however, to get apple seeds
from the refuse of cider pomace, in which
only small and inferior fruit is used for
grinding. In this way they claim to get
more vigorous stocks, but it is at the ex
pense of fruit. It is likely also that these
stocks when grafted are longer in com
ing into bearing than stocks raised from
cultivated fruit oc the highest quality
would be. Button Cultivator.
DURABILITY OF FKNCK TOST9.
Locust posts are generally considered
the most durable; thev have been known
to be sound after sixty years of service.
Split chestnut posts, from which the sap-
wood has beeu hewn olf, hare re.naiucd
sound in a post and rail fence for over
forty years. Sassafras timber is con
sidered as the next durable to locust, and

improved iu durability by seasoning, and
is better still if saturated with hot slack
ing lime. Posts arc limed in this man
ner: A pit three feet deep is dug and six
'jichcs of fresh lime is spread in the bot
tom; the posts arc set on end close to
gether and small hmo is ullcd in between
them for one foot. Water is then poured
in to fill the pit. This slakes the lime,
which swells and fills the space between
the posts. The heat engendered drives
'""but the moisture from tho timber, and as
the lime cools tho posts absorb it. Thus
the ulbumen of the wood, which is the
part which causes decay, is hardened aud
made much less perishable. After steep
ing two or three weeks they are ready
for use. The bnrk should bo peeled be
fore tho posts are limed. If posts are
..set with broken stone and the limo from
the pit and theilling is well rammed in
the bole, they are made still more dur-
able, or the stono may quite as well be
left without any filling, but should be
well rammed. Jiew Yoii Timet.
I HOW TO MAKE Tins PAT.
Swine may bo made the most profit
able of farm stock. Their productive
ness is amazing if counted up for a few
years. A sow well cared for will pro
duce two litters of from seven to ten
pigs each every year, and what the total
number would be at the end of five years,
allowing one-half of the pig3 to bo sows,
we leave for some of our young friends
who have mathematical faculties to cal
culate and inform us for - the benefit of
other readers. These pigs say, sixteen
for the two litters mav easily be made
to weigh zuu pounds each when a year
old, so that one sow will yield her owner
3200 pounds of pork every year for five
or six years, equal to from 10,000 to 2U,-
000 pounds of pork for her contnbutiou
during ncr useful life, litit it is very
rarely that the pigs are ever looked upou
as worthy of much careful regard. 1 hey
are more commonly treuted as the weeds
of the furm stock, prolific, growing
without care and in spite of neglect. It
would not be advisable to increase their
number, but it is advisable to incieusc
their value, by lessening the number and
improving the keeping of them. Ten
pigs of 100 pounds each nr: much less
profitable than live of 200 pounds each,
and one well kept sow is worth more
than twice as much as two ill kept outs
which produce each ouo litter in the
year. To reduce the store stock ouc
Lidf and treat these twice a- welt would
treble the profit from the year's in
creases. - BICH A NO POOK Mn.K.
F Anyone who bus attended a dairy con
vention, or who carefully follows the
duiry literature of the day, must Lave
conic to rtnli.e that milk testing is the
leading question before our dairymen.
The rank injustice of payiug for milk or
dividing money between patrons on the
pounds delivered basis has been tolerated
only because it could not be avoided.
Vhen the system of paying for mill;
upon weight is new iu a community, it
works fairly well for a short time, but
soon patrons learu to take advantage,
aud the result is that as time goes on
more aud more milk is requin d to make
a pound of butter or t hee.-c. Ot cont -e,
there are always a few who water or

been through buying and breeding cows
which produce the greatest nuinlier of

ever to tho quality, lletuecu the cows
giving thin milk and t lie patrous who
skim or water, dairymen producing good
milk aud factorymen have a hui'd time
of it. Fuctoryuieu have come to realize
that their be-l friends amniij the patrons

A VALUABLE TIIEB WAStl.
About two years ago, writes a Missouri
subscriber, I cut a receipt for a tree
wash from your valuable paper, and it
has kept my trees clean of bugs and
worms; in fact, I could not do without
it, as the borers do not troublo tho trees,
and I think you ought to publish it again
for tho benefit of those of your readers
who have not tried it. I copy it ver
batim: "Take stone lime, slack and prepare
it as for an ordiuary whitewash, in nu
old barrel or box. Take enough nt a
tirao to make a bucket two-thirds full of
the proper consistency for ordinary
whitewashing. Now add one pint, of
gas tar, one pound of whalo-oil soap dis
solved in hot water, or one pound of
potash, or strong lye from wood ashes,
then add clay or loam enough to make
the bucket lull of the wash of proper
thickness to be applied with a whitewash
brush. If tho trees havo had the earth
ridged up around them, take the earth
away from around tho collar and apply
the wash to the root of the trees from the
limbs to tho ground or dowr to tho
roots.
"Its advantages are, first, it will de
stroy tho bark louse, and give the trees a
bright, clear and healthy appearauce.
Second, this wash will drive all borers
that may bo in the trees aud the moth
will not deposit eggs on or about the
trees the same season the wash is used.
All who grow apple, peach, dwarf
pear, quince and ash trees, should uso
this wash ; don't fail to use it because not
patented and sold at a high price. I
have known cases where peach trees havo
been badly ilTected by tho boror; they
have all left and tho trees become healthy
and vigorous with one application of this
wash.
Again, mico and rabbits will not
girdle trees whero this wash is used.
Apply in May for borers and geueral
beuelit to the trees, and in late autumn
as a preventive against mice and rabbits.
Use this wash annually. Gas tar applied
pure will kill trees." Farm, Field and
Stockman.
FARM ASD GARDEN NOTES.
Be sure and keep your finger-nails
short, always.
Scnlcs save a good deal of frictiou in
neighborhoods.
Bar hires are hives with bars across
the top to which the combs are at
tached. Milk as rapidly as you can and as clean
as you can ; if you do not your cow will
dry up.
He gentle with your cows. Remember
you are a man and they are brutes; bo
thou not a brute.
Havo no conversation while milking,
nor stop at a "what did you sayl" from
your fellow milker.
.The bette way to start in tho bee
business is to begin in a small way aud
gradually grow into it.
Give your cow a name and call her by
her name; she will learn to know it
sooner than you think.
In cold weather wash your hands in
warm water before your milk ; a cow s
teats are very sensative.
Farmers who know how to produce at
a relatively low cost are always at tho
the head of the procession.
If you have more than ono cow always
milk them iu the same order; a boss cow
does not like to be slighted.
Clean your stable before you milk. I
know of no substance that will tuke up
bad ouors sooner than milk.
Strain your milk from a strainer pail
into an independent strainer, and in this
have besides a strainer cloth.
A good strong milker ought to milk
ten cows in an hour, but he has not time
to carry the milk to the dairy.
Give your cows a tublespoouful of salt
once a day in their mess of mill-feed; it
will keep them in good health.
Clean your cow with brush or cloth
before you milk ; perfect cleanliness is
most essential to perfect dairying.
Never feed your cow while milking;
one thing at a time. JIake her pay at
tention to you and not to her feed.
Farmers caunot afford to manage their
business by guess work. The maigin of
profit on their products is too small to
admit of it.
He who starts a good reading club iu
a country neighborhood aud puts enough
nf interest into it to keep it going is a
public benefactor.
In the cxperimtiats now in progress at
the Ohio Experiment Station, potash
seems to have no effect on wheat, whether
used alone or in any combination.
Have all your milking apparatus
scrupulously clean; milk being a fatty
substance you may need pure soap in the
cleaning; use scalding hot water after
wards.
Trofessor Wrighton says agriculture is
a born scieuje. It is full of botanj , zoo
'tO' geology aud entomology. It is
full of chemistry, from the soil to tin
growing plant, the ripening seed and the
animal life which is tho outcome.
There i a positive advantage in get
ting gypsum fcr spring sowing during
the winter, aud keeping it where it can
abscib tho odor from the manure piles
around stables. If a few handfuls are
sprinkled daily over tho manure heaps,
the gypsum will do more good whec
drawn out in the manure than it coulj
possibly do if applied alone.
There aro two reasons why clover liny
causes heaves iu horses. One is that it
often heats, and when it dries out be
comes dusty. Wetting the hay re
moves the difficulty. The second reason
is that horses like clover hay so much
that they overload their stomuchs, aud
cannot travel. Give them only a small
amount of clover, aud add oats to make
up the full ratiou, just as would be done
iu feeding timothy hay.

It is exoocted that a general law for the

A bill on the subject has boen prepared by

TRSTH NATIOSAL TEMPERANCE COXVESTIOX.
The Ninth National Temperance Conven
tion, held in Saratoga Springs, 1881, re
quested and empowered the National Tem
perance Society to call another convention
in tl series, when, in their judgment, the
exigences of the case should require.
The Board of Managers of the society,
believing the time has fully come for such a
convention, appointed the following com
mittee to issue such a call.
We do, therefore, earnestly and cordially
invite all associations of ministers and
churches, all general assembles aud synods,
all general and annual conferences, classes,
presbyteries, and religious national or Stato
conventions, all national and State tern,
perance organizations, all woman's national
and State unions. Grand Divisions Sons of
Temperance, Grand Lodges of Good Tem
plars, Grand Temples of Honor aud Tem
perance, and other State Temperance bodies,
to sen delegates to a national temperauco
convention, to be held, commencing at ten
o'clock A. M., July 15, 1SU1, in the First
Methodist Church, Saratoga Springs, N. Y.
Each body to be entitled to send seven
delegates, of which the presiding officer and
secretary shall be two. In tho Methodist
Episcopal Church, where the bishops sev
erally are presidents of a number cf con
ferences, this rule may not be binding. The
same variation of this rule may apply to
uiuur organisations similarly conblimwu.
In case any presbytery, association,
conference or organization, shall not
be in session after the issue of this call
and prior to the meeting of the convention,
or shall fail to appoint delegates, the presid
ing officer, or, in nis absence or failure to do
so, the secretory may appoint the same. All
delegates must have credentials duly signed
by one or both of the otlloorsof their respec
tive bodies. Vacancies iu delegations may be
filled by the remaining delegates. It is pro
posed tliat the convention shall be composed
entirely of delegates from delogative bodies,
and not from subordinate organizations.
Temperance matters have never had more
hearty recognition from all classes of society
than to-duy. More tuau ever curse us, and
breathe out threateuiugs against us, hut more
also pray and work for us. Lines of opposi
tion are more sharply drawn, and tho num
ber of the indilferent is being steadily re
duced. It is therefore in the highest degree neces
sary that all friends of temperance, forced by
new perils and now opportunities, tuke coun
sel together for a forward movement against
this simeial agent of that vile trinity: the
world, the flush, aud the devil .
Arrangement have boen made for a re

New Haven, Conn., is celebrated for
baring given the name of "Puukin

originated from tho Bluo Laws, which
enjoined every male to have his hair cut
round by a cap. When raps were not
to be had they substituted the hard
shell of the "punkin," which, being put
on tho head every Saturday, all hnir
which protmded was clipped close-to
the shell's edge. Peters, In his "History
of Connecticut," snys: "What religious
virtuo was 'supposed to bo derived from
the custom, 1 know not; but there is
much prudenco in it; first, it prcrents
the hair from snnrling; secondly, it saves
the use of combs; and, thirdly, it can
not incommodo the eyes by falling orer
