planter mentions as advantages of
mules over horses: Their feet are
smaller, so they iujnre the crops less
when working iu them, and can be
used in closer rows thau horses ; they
are less liable to disease, ore better
feeders, being less fastidious bs to
what they eat, endure hardship better,
aro not ro easily injured and ore
steadier to work at tho plow. Tho
experience of most Northern formers
with mules is that, however serviceable
for work on tho farm, it is less pleas
ant and less safe to work among them,
(lood horses aro none tho worso for
the farm, because they requiro better
care than tho mules will put up with.

KATsrsa calves.
A calf to each cow can be raised on
skim milk and a little additional food.
A calf may be fed skim milk when one
week old, with the addition of one gill
of boiled flaxseed, increasing this ra
tion gradually to a pint per day when
four weeks old, and then adding fine
middlings or corn aud oats grciud to
gether, or a pint to ono quart of oats
nn ground.
Flaxseed gruel, with plenty of skim
milk, will produce a very flue growth,
leaving tho calf as mellow to tho touch
as if sucking the cow. A calf two
months old will gaiu three pounds per
day on this ration. Tho oil taken off
in the cream can be replaced for one
fifth of the money value of tho cream.
Butter dairymen may raise a calf to
each cow upon the skim milk and a
little additional food as indicated, and
get one-fourth to one-third as much
profit out of the butter. Selling but
ter robs tho laud of nothing valuable
only carbon, which has no manural
value. Mirror and Farmer.
THE EXCELLENT LIMA BEAN.
Tho Lima beBn is the best flavored
and largest variety of tho beau family,
yet it is not raised for tho market in
any largo quantities on account of the
trouble and expense of getting poles
for them. The villager has to buy
poles for what he plants, and the sum
expended for them often exceeds the
income from the vines. Those farmers
who have timber on their land are gen
erally too busy, or think they aro, to
bother with pole beans, go they ldaut
some of the bush varieties that are not
half so good in flavor and yield very
poorly. For tho beueiit of'those who
like Lima beans aud do not raise them
because of tho trouble of providing
with poles, we give the following plan
of a trellis, which answers evt ry pur
pose fully ns well as the old method :
If they are to bo raised on a large
scale two heavy posts may be set at in
tervals or forty feet, the full length of
the row, being sure to brace the end
ones. Then plain wire is stretched
from post to pust. As the vines are
very heavy, it is best to strengthen it
by putting two or three pieces of ordi
nary three-inch board. Then loop a
strand of package twine from the top
wire to tue lower one. xueso twines
fchould be about sixteen inches apart.
Very little trouble is experienced in
making tho vines follow the wires, and
no tying is necessary. This trellis will
lost many years, and we think it is a
great improvement over the poles.
American Farmer.
PLANTING TUE ORAPE.
Experienced grapemen everywhere
urge deep planting and it is a lesson
one must learu sooner or later. We
may think it an absurd thing to pliuit
a vine a foot and a half or two feet
deep, but unless wo do we may us well
let grapes alone.
Nearly all planters recommend at
least tho former depth, und it is a cus
tom followed iu tho oldest grape
countries. Not only is it an all but
uuiversul method, bnt iu some of the
Rhine countries all surface roots are
cut off by thrusting the spade down
alongside tho vine, so compelling the
plant to find its entire susteueuee in
the subsoil.
Without a deep and thorough pre
paration of the Boil our vines will be
both short lived and unproductive.
Drainage must be secured if uocessury,
for a grupo will not endure wet feet,
nor will fertilizing the subsoil be of
the least use so long k water reiuuins
in it.
How to enrich the whole soil to the
depth of nt L ast one foot is, in the
vineyard, an important mutter. Jtuiuj
possibly builuni- otherwise, but to pro
mote ft good healthy growth of vino
and fruit, there is to my mind no way at
ull equal-to ploughing iu good com
post, either of murk wi ll dried out or
of parings of low rich, hinds, including
wire grass, bushes, vines, ull the small
growth. Kuril u compost made up
with hardwood ashes and u sprinkling
of bone, distributed all through the
soil by repealed ploughing, will give
you wood it 1 1 1 fruit.
Now, in preparing to plant, throw
out wide, open furrows, or dig holes ut
b ust tlireo feet wide und a foot und a
hulf deep, and put iu a generous sup
ply u bushel or more of the sumo
compost. Mix it with the best surface
soil, and in that plant. You cannot
lill up at lirst ; let the upper roots be
covered three or four inches, aud for
the rest sucressive hoeinys us the vines
grow will tiulhce, und by the close of
tho first season the ground will be
levelled up.
Don't forget to get the vines down,
down near the bottom of tho prepared
holes, for most of the failures in grape
growing result, from surface prepara
tion and shallow planting. Florida

rOOH PASTfRES.
Good paxtnrogo is essential to suo
cessful dairy farming in most sections
of New England. " On a large propor
tion of tho farms these pastures are
not and very many of them cannot be
cultivated, aud, as a consequence, these
that are stocked with cows are slowly
being depleted of their original fertil
ity, and brush and weeds tako tho
place of nutritious grsfses.
A short time since the writer passed
through a hilly town whers sheep rais
ing was formerly the leading farming
industry, but after the collapse of the
Merino boom the farmers changed from
sheep raising to dairying, and for the
post ten or twelve years cheese making
has been their specialty. For a few
years this line of farming was profit
able. The pastures furnished on abun
duueo of fcod, and tho cows gavo a
god flow of milk with small cost. But
things have changed. Many of the
pastures now are overgrowu with weeds
and bushes, and produce bnt little
good feed. Farmers are obliged to
buy large quantities of groin to keep
up the flow of milk through the sum
mer months. The grain bills absorb
the profits and keep the farmers in
financial straits all of the time. The
only practicable way out is to try sheep
raising again for a fow years. "
Last spring I t urned a flock of sheep
into a pasture that was so overrun with
weeds aud daisies as to furnish but
little feed for. cattlo. To-day not a
weed or a daisy is to be seen, and the
sheep and lambs which are long wooled,
Cost wold and Leicester, have done
finely. In two or three years I expect
the pasture will be entirely free from
weeds and daisies and ready for cattle
again. A good flock of sheep well
cared for should net tho owner at least
34.50 per head in wool and lambs, and
with special care much more may be
realized ; allowing fifty cents per head
for grain would give you a return of
$1 per head of cash iu hand. In the
town referred to the annual average
receipts for the milk of the cows at the
cheese factory is about 830 per cow
and from this must be subtracted the
grain feed. New England Farmer.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
A good mulch keeps down weeds.
Mixed grasses make the best pasture.
Milk as quickly and quietly as pos
sible. The curl in the pig's tail is a sign of
health.
Small eaters are almost always poor
milkers.
Largo crops are not always the most
profitable ones.
Liquid manure will force crops to a
rapid maturity.
Tho best quality of meat comes from
the pig, cot the hog.
Bulky food should always be fed
with concentrated food.
Tigs in tho orchard will consume
wormy fruit and insects.
Change the quarters and pasture ol
your sheep occasionally.
Too much wood is a prolific cause ol
tho non-fruitage of trees.
A creamery should not be started on
less than three hundred cows.
Oil meal is a concentrated food and
should be given in moderation.
The more flowers are picked, the
more flowers the plant will bear.
Raspberries, with the exception of
Blackcaps, con be planted in the fall.
Mulched tomatoes produce larger
crops than those that are not mulched.
A little extra work iu mellowing the
soil will give a larger profit when the
crop is harvested.
Market gardeners are prenarincr the
land and sowing turnips and lettuce
for the Into market.
Those kinds of cabbage which have
firm, close heads are the least injured
by tho cabbage worm.
Turnips will produce larger crops
when weeded, but they will do well on
tho average ground if not cultivated.
Tho loss by shrinkage of vegetables
stored in cellars is very great ; some
claim it to be us high us forty per
cent.
To get the best results with rasp
berries, cut out old wood and all weak
stalks us Boons as the bearing season is
over.
After the potato vines have died
down, the bugs that were on them are
apt to uttack tho other plants, especial
ly the eggplants, but they can be killed
by applying Paris green.
Aeres ol Smokeless Coal.
John B. Clemeiito, of tho Christy
Fire Clay Company, has secured an
option on G000 acres of coal laud iu tlio
Ouchita River district in Arkansas
which may go far toward solving the
sinoko question. It is what is kuown
as smokeless coal. It can bo burnod
on tho floor iu a parlor without giving
off any Huoke.
Mr. Clements has been after tho
properly for some time, and huu had
the coal tested in tho Christy works,
the Crystal Hate Glass Works, tho
lielleville (ins Works anil other places.
A shipment of it is to bo received ut
the St. Louis Sanitary Company's
Works, to b tested there.
The coal is found in a large do
posit, the vein being forty-two inches
wide. It contains twenty per cent, of
oil, which has lieeu found to bo very
valuable in making paint. A bar of
iron puinted with it has been placed in
a lire ami submitted to au intense
hent without disturbing the paint. Jt
is also claimed that one ton of this
coal will produce us much steam as ten
tons of that usud here. St. Louis

DELICfOrS BUOAR COOKIES.
Delicious sugar cookies that are so
rich that they will keep some time aro
mode by beating a cupful of butter
aud two of sugar to a cream. Beat
"the yolks of four eggs until light, and
add thorn to the butter aud sugar,
then add the beaten whites. Mix
thoroughly nnd quickly, and add just
enough flour to make a stiff paste.
Roll out as thin as possible without
breaking, cut and bake in a moderate
oven. Cookies are more tempting
when baked a delicate brown than
when white. Jumbles made w'ith som
cream are also excellent. Cream a cup
ful of butter with two of sugar, and
add a cupful of sour cream to which a
teaspoonful of soda, dissolved iu a lit
tle hot water, has been added. Sep
arate the yolks and whites of two eggs,
beat both until light, then mix them,
aud add to the other ingredients. Add
enough flour to make as soft a paste as
can bo rolled, not a particle more.
Roll as thin as you can without break

by mortification.
