It is a futile hojio to expert to breed hornless cattle by the practice of dishorning. There have been in stances in which an artificial peculiar ity in the animal has become inherited, but this is exceedingly rare and is not to be taken as a rule for breeders. Iambg have been docked for centuries, but they still come into the world with long tails. The only (satisfactory way to have a herd of pooled cattle is to use a polled bull, and this, being in conformity to the natnrnl laws of breeding, may be depended on in time to fix this character on tho progeny. It may not be fully effective in the first generation or in several, but ex perience has shown that in time tho charncter of the aires will be fixed on tho progeny in tho end. For dairy cattle tho polled red Xorfork will make a good hornless sire. The Scotch Aberdeen cattle are sometimes excellent dairy animals. Xew York Times. BEST CHOP FROM PRILLED CORN. For three years, says a Xew York farmer in the Tribune, our drilled corn has yielded from 106 to 130 bush els of ears per acre, whereas we got but seventy-five to 100 by tho check row method. Tho extra yield is due to there being more stalks ; yon can have four to six stalks to every three feet of drill, and they ear as well as three to four stalks put in a checkrow clump. Wa plow the ground in tho fall, draw ten to twelve loads of good stable manure per acre early in the spring, so the strength of the manure will bo partly washed into tho toil be fore planting. Harrow same as for any crop. Set the drill to sow from to 9J quarts per acre, according to size and variety of corn. But the safest way to set the drill is to pull the rubber hose out of the hoe and let the corn run on top of the ground, and set it so it will run from four to six kernels every three f iet of drill ; to run it any thicker is waste of time, seed and fertilizer, as it will have to be thinned. Of fertilizer drill in 200 pounds with the corn ; tho fertilizer box should be partitioned off or the extra runs covered with thin pieces of board, or le6s phosphate may run in with tho corn and clear wood ashes used (by those not wishing to buy much fertil izer) iu the runs each side of tho one used for the corn ; then there will be no danger of injury to the seed. Per sons desirous of planting pumpkins with the corn may do so by mixing the seed with the fertilizer that runs in with the corn. If tho drill doc-s not run the corn deep enough hang light weights to the hoes used. I agree with Waldo F. Brown that seed-corn sbonld be thoroughly dried by artifi cial heat and hung in a dry placo; such seed will germinate one to three days quicker and grow stronger, nnd is not so liable to rot during any cold, wet spell after planting. FEEDING VALCE OF CREAM Ot-trrES MEAL. The results of a series of foeding tests at the Vermont experiment rta tion with sugar meal, cream gluten meal and germ food speak very strong ly iu favor of tho high foeding value of cream gluten meal. Two of tho cows oto it qnito well, tho other loft a good deal of it, but in spite of this .ho cream gluten produces more mill; than the bran and corn in four cases out cf six, mokes a richer milk fivo times out of six and yields more butter fr.t every time. The milk inercates nbont ono twelfth, the richness of tho milk in creoses a third of one per cent, and tho net gain is about one-sixth of tho total fut. On a herd of twenty cows yielding 5000 pounds apiece of four per cent, milk with butter at t uouml such an incr,nHn vnnl.l sent 660 rounds of Lutter veavlv with a valuo of $lGo. The fitrures obtained hbrn tlmt .. withstanding the fact that the sugar meal was not eaten in so largo quanti ties as tuo hran and corn, and the further fact that what effect thnclinnnn to pasture had was against the sugar ineni, yet it gavo better returns than the bran and corn. In thn fiv teinl it produced ivnre milk and more pounds of fat every time, and a richer milk four times out of five, producing one ninth more milk, one-fiftieth richer and one-seventh more butter. Not so good resulU were obtained with the germ feed. Its nee was fol lowed by a decrease of milk, an in crease of richness and but slight change iu the total amount of fat. It has then considerably, less feeding value than the cream of gluten meal audtheengnr meul, as one would naturally expect from its composition aud market price. It has apparently about the same feed ing value pound for pound as the mix ture of bruu and corn, and as it can be purcluiscd in the market for less than either of these it follows thut it should be an economicul aud profitable feed. Mr. Cook is led to the conclusion that .'. rin feed has about the samo feed ing vhIuo as a mixture of equal parts by weight of wheat bran aud corn meul ; that siiyar meal and cream gluten met) both have u higher feuding value thuu the above, and that theso latter also have a alight ellect oU the richness of tno milk. filially, it should be remembered thai. thin is but a slight series of trials aud that the work needs to be repeated tevernl times before u sure conclusion cun be drnwii. It i ui:et lisry hero to utic-r a word Ct ClUi'.'!l iu fvgnul to Uifl c( ihiij concentrated feeds, sugar meal and especially cream gluten menl. They are both exceedingly rich concentrated feeds, and like cottonseed meal should be fed sparingly. Three or four pounds a day of sugar meal per cow is as much as it is safe to give, while with cream gluten meal tho limit of two pounds per day per cow should not be exceed ed. Sow Kugland Farmer. PLANTING TOl'NO TnF.r.fl. A great deal of difficulty in rx prienced in hnndling young trees that havo been bought at a nursery, aud especially if they havo been trans ported a long distance. All nursery men in sending out trees should con sider it a part of their contract to send written orders with their trees, giving a good description of tho kind of soil in winch the trees hnve been growing, and the general location of the nursery. This would help many farmers and fruit growers to give tho trees a good start. As it is now, very often the trees are forced to adapt themselves to entirely different soil to which they have been accustomed, and a year or two of good growth is lost through this sudden change. A great deal cau be saved, however, if tho farmer understands how to handle the trees and how best to set them out. Many trees are received during a dry season, aud as they have been transported a long distance, they need planting at once. When the trees are received they should bo set immediately, and tho longer they are kept implanted the longer will the check to their growth be made. Frune off carefully nil dead and mutilated roots. Then dig a hole large enough to accommodate all of tho remaining roots in tho positions in which they hang. If the roots can be planted in their natural position there will be less danger of loss ; but to do this, very largo holes are oftou required. riace the tree in the hole and fill it half up with tho clay, and then saturate it thoroughly with wateruntil it is workable clay. With a small hoe or a blunt stick this sticky clay should be worked carefully around and into the roots of the tree. With a little labor at this work tho roots will quickly get established, and decide largely the futuro of the tree. After this the rest of tho soil should be thrown in and piled up around tho tree, and a good mulch of stable manure provided. If the season is a wet instead of a dry one, tho top mulch will not be needed, but if there is any danger of a drought, tho mulch is the only way to prevent the roots from getting thirsty. But with a good mulch a newly set tree can be kept moist for months. The water that has been applied directly to the roots will be kept there, and not allowed to evaporate. To put all of tho soil back into tho hole, and then pour water upon it, is a method that many proetieo now, but is not nearly as satisfactory ns tho one described. A great doal of tho water thus put ou the surface will never get down to tho roots, but will bo absorbed more by the surrounding surface soil. When wo put it in the hole half filled with soil, it goes direct to tho roots, where it is needed. Whore the soil is very dry in times of dronght, it is sur prising to see how much water the surface 6oil will absorb. If ono digs dowu a foot, however, he will find that the subsoil is still nntouched by the water. American Cultivator. FAHM AND OAnrtEK NOTES.
