ERAS AS A FKRTttilZRR. Thirty odd years ago the lato Solon Robinson, after making some experi ments with wheat bran and corn monl ns fertilizers on his lawn, declared they were fully as cheap for this pur pose as any of the commercial fertil izers then on tho market. Soveral ex periments havo been made with bran and what nro called "middlings" ns fertilizers for grn.ss, and with good results. All planters at tha South know what a change has been wrought within the last two or three decades in the use of cotton seed, and cotton seed meal and waste from the oil mills for enriching the soil for all kinds of crops. At a recent meeting of mill owners at Louisville this subject of using wheat bran as a fertilizer was agaiu brought to tho fore and highly endorsed by those who havo tested it practically. If chemical analysis is worth anything as a test of tha fer tilizing value of wheat bran, then at the price at which it has been selling for tho last year or two it is worth more than its cost as a-manure. Most farmers, however, will prefer to feed it to their animals and then save the manure, but it cannot be maintained that anything is added to the value of the brau as a fertilizer by this process. -New York Sun. TREATMENT OF AN ORCHARD. The treatment of an orchard is a subject of importance and should be well studied. If the land is bo wet that it needs drainage, it is not tit for use on this account. The land must then be drained, or tho trees will not thrive. The roots will rnu into the drains and choko them, making double mischief, for the land will soon be as wet as before and the labor and money will, be lost. Clay land is not the best for an orchard ; a lightish, gravelly land is hotter, and still mora so if it is limestone. It would be better to set tho orchard far from the house iu lighter land than iu clay because of its nearness. If the land is clay, but not wet, it may be improved by sub soiling it; that is, by plowing in the furrow of a common plow and im mediately after it with a bar plow that is, one with a long bar like a conlter that will break the subsoil and looeen it. This might bo done in a strip between the rows of trees and about six feet wide, but near the trees the land should bo plowed no deeper than a few inches, lest the small roots bo broken and the trees checked in growth. It is a good thing for an orchard to be sown with olover and pastured by swine or suecp. American Furuatr. HADDV WINTER OATS. Winter oats are one of the best pay ing crops that can be grown, writes a Delaware farmer. Wherever intro duced they are superseding spring oats entirely. Oats nro essentially a cool weather crop, and failures either partial or total with spriug oats, on account of the hot, dry weather of June and July, aro so common that many farmers are entirely discouraged from growing them. This trouble is entirely obviuted by substituting win ter oats. They are sown at tho same time as winter wiieut, and ripen with wheat the following Reason, so that the harvesting and threshing may all be done at the same time. The variety we grow in Delaware is -perfectly hardy as, much so as Fultz whoit and withstands tha severest weather perfectly. On good soil a yield of fifty to eighty bushels is common. They grow a strong, stiff straw, which stands up well. They are a very heavy oat, a measured bushel weighing from thirty-eight to iorty-five pounds. I have known crops of these oats this season that gave an average of eighty bushels per aero on twenty to thirty acre lields. One and a hulf bushels per acre are euough to sow. Winter outs are iiIhu a good crop to seed clover with. Tho Batne fertilization aud tillage that will produce a good wheat crop will give a big crop of win ter outs. American Agriculturist. STRAW AH KEEL). The vulue of straw for feeding imr poses depends almost entirely ou the method of harvesting. The riper the grin u is allowed to become, the drier ucd loss nutritious is the straw. It is well kuowu thut rye-grass buy out be fore tho seed is ripe is much more val uable and fetches a higher price thuu it does if the sued is allowed to ripen before cutting. So it is with every other species of thut kiud of fuod. Hay and straw are practically the same crop, though cut at dilTereut stages of growth, which is a fact too frequently overlooked. When feeding largely ou such suc culent food as roots or grains, btruw fchuuld be given at least twice a day, as it is found that without straw or hay cuttle do not thrive so well. The Uiillrciit Burtb of fctmw havo, tut re gards their nutritive valne, been placed in the following order: 1, pea straw; 2, oat-straw; 3, bean-straw, with tho pods; 4, barley-straw; 5, what-strawi (i, benn-strnw, without tho pods. Pea-straw, if properly har vested in a dry Reason, is a most valu able food, aud Bhould never be iisej as litter. If, however, it hB been much raited upon, and, is consequent ly dirty and more or less mouldy, it will sour itock. For sheep it is most excellent. Horses, too, are very fond of, and thrive well upon it. Of tho whito straws, oat straw is undoubtedly the most valuable for feeding, but its value depends much upon the time of cutting. Onts should be cut when tolerably green, and al though part of the grniu may be lost iu this way, it is gained iu another, and the straw is in a coudition most valuable for stock fending. Beau straw, well harvested, is a very hearty and nutritious food for cart horses aud cattle during tho wiutor, and here agaiu the value of the straw is depend ent on the time of cutting, says a writer in Farm and Home. If out while yet greeu and before the leaves have fallen off, we have a fodder of great value ; but it allowed to stand nutil quite ripe tha leaves fall off, and the straw, bosides containing less nu triment, becomes so hard aud woody that it is necessary to ohafT aud steam it boforo stook can make any use of it. Barley straw, especially when mixed witn a good proportion of olover, is of great importance in the economy of the farm. Barley straw grown in the South is considered better thnu that grown in the North, it being diflioult in the latter portion of the couutry to save it iu tolerable order, especial ly with olover. Wheat straw, cut into chaff, is much used for horses and cat tle. In consuming straw, the inferior sorts should be first made use of, and afterwards those of a bettor kind, and when feeding stock on large quanti ties of this coarse and dry article, al ways allowing plenty of succulent food or havo an abuudnut supply of water at hand. Now York World. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Don't forget to give tho horse some salt. A little grease will sometimes save a lot of horse. Now is the season to reap the re ward of your labor. After bringing tho horse in brush off his feet and legs. Don't keep any animal on the farm that does not pay a profit. Endeavor to have the home sur roundings pleasing to the eye. Every farmer should keep a eot of books the same as any other business man. If the stable is kept sweot and clean it will largely roduce the number of flies. Market all quarrelsome roosters, over-fat hens and non-laying pullots before cold weather. When tho orchard bcgius bearing it should receive an aunual dressing of phosphoric acid aud potash. A little nitrate of soda sDrinklod iu the rows and hills of the lima beaus will hasten the growth of the vines. Fowls which feather and mature early are usually good producers of eggs, good sitters aud good mothers. There will havo to be considerable "head-work" used during harvesting iu order to make everything dovetail. Uniformity is a groat advantage that creamery butter has over dairy butter. Dairy butter is made in small lots. Oil the harness the first chance you get. If it does not come soon, take time. Hot weather saps the life out of harness. Shearing off a little wool around the teat will often prevent the loss of the lamb from indigestion consequent on swallowing a lock of wool. Occasionally a crop of grass may be grown in the orchard if the land is rich, but a permanent grass sod is sure to injure the trees sooner or luter, Don't Ut the weeds grow up and go to seed where early crops have been removed aud iu the path?. If you do it will be adding to your work next year. It pays to have careful milkers who will be gentle with the cows and who always milk cloau. A man may easily lose more than his wages by careless milking. Shepherds who would be luljy post ed iu the art of growiug wool must study the soieuce of brcediug, aud tho whole story of the natural history of the sheep. Be sure to feed green oprn to the cows. In no other way can it be used to pay so well. Sweet corn is prefer able until cold weather, theu field corn is better. Some peoplo seem to forgot that the amount of protit ou a pound of butter often depeuds as much on re ducing the cost of produotiou us iu obtaining an euhunced price. The dairymau's responsibility for the euro of his cows is not all gone when he is able to turn thein out to grass iu the early summer. The more he feels his responsibility iu this di rection, aud acts upon it, tho more valuable will his dairy become to him.

Nature in toudel that the edilila portion of the potato should, when, in a healthy Con dition, (ill its skin aim ont to the burst ing point with good, wholesonio nour ishment.

Tho dark green variety is tha doctors' hc.4 sum nor friend. In buying toma toes, choose tho rioU red variety, even if they cos, more. A tomato that 1 streakod with whita nn 1 is hard is a flavorless moriel. To tell if tho tomato) is perfectly ripe, pull out the stom. It it conies out easily and clean, the vegct-ihlo is in a prima condition; if the stem brings with it soma portions of tho iusido the torn ito is too ripe for use. Wntcrmelous, of course, aro alw.iys greou, and to tell as to tho ripeness of tiioui ami the condition of tho fruit two tests are e:sily made. Tho ttrat method is to have your doaler out out a small plug for your iuspectiou. This is tho truly safe way. Tho other method depeuda on tho hearing. Thump th'i sides of tho melon, Bnd if it gives forth a hollow sound the chances aro that it is ripe for the ice box, aud after it has beeu twenty-four hours iu tho cold to get it thoroughly chilled you may cut it and be satisfied that your guests will bo pleased. Muskmelons, to be prime, should be yellow in color. Tho green musk molon, no matter how sweet aud juicy, is not in the full porfootiou of' its flavor. Apples to bo absolutely fit, Bhould havo a mellow appoarance, be they of tho rod, green or russet varieties, and tinged with yollow. Iu fact, almost every fruit that grows, wheu in tho best couditiou, takes on a hue of yellow as though to toll that it has reoeivod pleuty of sunshine to ripen it. Trenton (M. J.) Amerioau.
