When it becomes plentiful in very rich gardens it makes it almost impossible to grow vegeta bles at a profit, as it will crowd in early in tho season. Hut usnnlly in lost farmers garden the crab grass is ept down early, and only allowed to grow freely late in the season when the sou is full ot available nitrogen, and the crops are all off. The farmer may think that its growth there makes little difference because he gathers up the grass late in the season to burn it, or plows it uudcr just before frost kills it so as to rot the seeds. In neither way are the seed destroyed. There are innumerable seeds, and enough of them escape to seed the land auotlier year. Iu fact, old gar den soil is always full of them. The best way to manage crab grass is to either plow or cultivate the grounds once a week after the garden crops are off. In this way millions of seeds will be germinated and killed before even having a chance to seed. Boston Cultivator. ROADS IS AOK1CULTUF.AL BEOIONS. Some man has figured out that on n sandy road a horse can drag twice as great a load as he can carry on his back On a fair dirt road he can drag three and a half times as much. On a ma cadamized road he can pnll nine times as much, on a plank road twenty-five times as much, and on metal rails ntty four times as much. But there are other things connected with fine roads, and that is the educational in fluence it has on the community. If good roads aro made it will have a tendency to draw in settlers and to de crease the size of the farms, making more land-owners, and better and more intelligent communities. By tho sides-of good roads better lookiuj farm honses are erected. The community takes a pride in having the houses and grounds improve with the improvements on the roads. Once start a mau to ''fixing up," and he is likely to ke?p at it. The same thing occurs iu our oities and towns. The man that lives in an unpainted house on a dirty and muddy thoroughfare thinks that it does not pay to fix up lis place wnen all around issoun sightly. But when the road is rebuilt and the neighbors begin to set thoir sidewalks aud lawns ,in order, he sees that the time has come for him to re pnint the old house and set out some uhado trees. The improvement idea is contagious and should be fostered, The fciilver Knight. FOOD FOR MABB AND COLT. "There is no better collection of foods for both tho brood mare and the colt," says the Country Gentleman, "than roots, oats, wheat bran and middlings, linseed meal, skim milk, though other materials, such as bar ley, corn to a limited extent, malt sprouts and other by-products may be used. A grain mixture consisting of four parts of ground oats, four parts wheat bran or middlings (not the tin est, and one part linseed meal, will do all that any linseed mixture will in promoting the kind of growth that is desired. "in the C86e of the mares, the quan tity of grain ration that should be fed depends so much upon conditions such as size, the quantity of work, whether in gestation or suokling the foal that we are sure it will be more seusible for a praotioal feeder to gov ern the ration by his personal observa tion than by any arbitrary rulo which he might venture to suggeet. "Skim milk would be a food par ex cellence for the colts, even for those three years old, and if a Bupply of this can be had at twenty cents or less per 1UL) pounds, no more economical food could be found for parts of the ration. If the milk is fed, tho linseed meal may be left out of the ration, and the bran aud oats retained, iu the propor tion of one pound of the mixture to six pouuds of the milk tor the younger colts, the proportion of grain increas ing as the animal grows older. The skim milk would also bo a splendid food for tho mares while sucking their foal. In any case, especially if all other foods are dry, roots are exceed ingly desirable as an occasional feed, and to tho colts may be fed daily with excellent results." I'KEDINO DECAY KD FOOD. Dr. T. F.. White, State Veterinarian of Missouri, reports the occurrence of fatal disease among milch cows iu Mississippi County, which he axcubes to the feeding of partially decayed feed-i-tuffs. Twenty-six cows died iu the vicinity of Bertram!, Mo., belong iug to vurious person J. There were no preliminary symptoms, and about the llrst iutrmntion given ol trouble was that tho owners would go out in the morning aud find a cow dead, swolluu to enormous proportions, aud with the blood ooziug IrOLQ uiouth uud nose. These conditions seem to indicate in testinal trouble, which the history of the case corroborated. The country urouud is u low-lying marshy district, aud tho cattle are fed largely on peas aud pea vines that aro 1 ueturcd vll on the ground where they grow. The cows have been turned into sucu fields, as was tho usual practice, but during the mild winter there had been alternations of freezing nnd hawing, which tended to partially decay both the peas and the vines. Feed in this condition then caused derangement of the stomach, a gas was formed by 'the put rolled stuff, bloating ensued, tho animals died and the con- inucd fermentation after death in th nternal viscera was of snob extent m to send the blood out of the mouth and nose alter death. Dr. White was subsequently called to De Sotft, where the city cows were dying in a similar manner. The his tory of t ho cases show that the grocery men and restaurant keepers were in tho habit of sotting out nil refuge matter, such as rotten potatoes, or anges, lemons, apples, etc., at thoir back doors for the cows to cat. ihe cows showed intebtiual pain and would swell up and die in a few hours. lho present season has, in many parts of the country, boon unusually humid, and the conditions have been such as to be peculiarly favorable to fermentation and putrefaotion in feed stuffs exposed to the weather. Special care should be taken to avoid feeding anything that is in this dangoious condition. Wisconsin Farmer. MARKETING FRl'IT. A man who was engaged by a farmer as an assistant in packing and shipping apples began his duties by preparing one barrel for a shipment. The Jariner had his methods and would not allow any ono to interfere with them, rto paokago of fruit went to market without his personal ex amination of it. Upon looking over tho barrel he found small, worm eaten, knobby apples scattered about within a foot of the top. He criticised the packing, when the employe, with some spirit, said that he bad spent his life in the best apple-growing dis tricts in Kew York State, and that the farmers there always packed apples in that way. He was told that there was but ono method used by his present boss, aud that must be strictly adhered to. This was, when apples wero marked as first-class, that no imperfoot specimens should be found in tho barrel. There nre fruit shippers in the vi cinity of New York whose packages an always goto the consumer without being examined. The commission merchant knows that they are in every respect the best that can be put up, and that the stamp of such shippers stands against all evidence. Fruit should be put up in threo grades the first without a blemish or spot, aud of the largest size ; the sec oud smaller, but quite as perfect ; and the third, the culls of the entire lot There is nothing more valuable to the producer than a reputation for re liability, and the man who is known to put up good, honest fruit, while he may get no higher price than his neighbor who is less careful, will sell his goods more rapidly. Apples should be packed closely and shaken down so that they will not settle during handling. The heads ot the barrel should be tightly pressed in nd firmly secured, ihe Apple ship pers' Association has adopted as the size of barrels those of the capao ity of an ordinary flour barrel This is seventeen and one eighth inches in diameter of head and twenty-eight and half irches in length of stave and of the regular bulge. Early and soft ap ples ought always to be packed in small parcels. Ten and twenty pound baskets and bushel baskets are best tor faucy grades of summer and autumn apples. A couple of years ago there was a demand made for small pack ages of fine apples. Ordinarily, these aro to be had only in full barrels, but half barrels were called for, and were packed to order. This season there has been a pack' age provided for this trade. Jt is a wooden box, mado ot light, strong wood, and holds a bushel of apples. Ihey will weigh ver little, if any. more than the average barrel, holding the same uiucuot. It is useless to send apples to market unless one adepts a clearly defined system of packing and sorting. There is nothing aboct which consumers are more touchy than fruit, aud once ship a lot that shows evider.ee of a desire to fill in with poor stuff, and the ship per s reputation is cone. The association gives the following directions for shipping apples: "The ' standard barrels should be used. The apples should be bandied carefully, the barrels well filled and the heads be pressed in as firmly as possible without bruising the fruit, so that the contents can t shake around, 'the barrels should be well nailed, plainly stenciled with the name ot the variety and the name of the snipper, or any mark that he may use to deeig nate his goods, Ihey are then ready to be tent to any apple exporter, who will look alter them aud make returns after they are sold. The exporter will attend to all the details, see to putting the aoples on board the vessel. attend to insurance, freight, eto. lie should be notified by mail when a shipment is made to him. The expense of sending apples to the i-uglisu mar kets is about 1 per barrel, and it costs just as much to send a barrel of poor outs as one ot the choicest fruit." New shippers will find it of great advuntage to observe all the details of honest frail and good conditions. there are reliable Iruit growers in plenty who thip to markets, and to some in competition with these one must set up a standard and live up to it.
