It Las been til J that the came tlm
othj as applied to grts wu given in
recc pi Ion of tba name of the farmer
who' mit duced it to this country, and
whose name was Timothy Herd. Some
of hit neighbor called it Herd' grass,
and other Timothy grass. As it
prorsd t be valuable, it has been pro
pagated rader these two names ever
since. It has probably been too ex
clusively relied upon, especially for
feedin? horses. A mixture of timothy
with other grass and with clover makes
a more nuti itious hay, while if timothy
a'one Is fed, it needs grain in addition
for hones at work. t
Competition in the beef-mnVIng In
dustry is having if legitimate effect In
crowding out the sljw maturing, be
cause poniy fed, cuttle of the south
west. Tito ranchmen of Texas find
that it d it'i not ray ait three or
four years for an animal to get its
growth and be turned into money.
They are becoming farmers, putting
tip their stock during coM weather aud
feedirg liberal'y. In this way they
get steers ready to sell when two year
old with less cost of food, and making
sj much better beef that it commands
a higher price. Tut when free past in -age
is thus abandoned as more expen

e or four months
of freezing weather, during which
subsoil turned up may be disintegrated
and prepared fr furnishing plant
food. Subsoil di.Tors greatly in its
characteristics. If it is f uU of mineral
matter, as it often is on rich land,
freezing and thawing- will make these
mineral elements available. If it is
sterile, the less of it turned up the bet
ter, no matter at what time of year the
plowing is done. Much damage is
often done on thin soil by plowing th
small amount of vegetable matter on
the surface under a deep furrow.
Dee? plowing in spring is more easily
accomplished, as the soil is then
loosened by winter frosts, and moiit
ened by melting snows aud spring
rains.
In ome places where Indian corn
la largely used for making glucose
ugix, the remaiuing meal is generally
sold at low prices, and makes a cheap
nutritious feed for its cost. It has
snore of albuminoid in proportion to
U weight than has corn, the starch in
Ihe graiu having Wn chatnged to sugar
by Chu,'.cai prnrti.M. Sulphuric acid
La the a&ent used in this manufacture,
and the glucose meal often contains
some trace of this powerful solvent.
Feeding too much glucose Is said by
those who have tried it to Injure cows'
teeth. It may be that this Is what has
given rise to the belief that cows kept
two years or more by milkmen are usu
ally not worth much afterwards for
feeding, as they are usually fed on the
farm. Another reason may be that
few milkmen will sell a cow that they
consider worth keeping for themselves.
They are wiser in this respect than
many farmers, who will sell their best
stock if they can only get a little bet
ter price for it, though what they have
left may not pay for iu keeping.
It is nothing against the value of a
good farm that a public highway runs
through It, provided the road is kept
la good condition. It does away with
the necessity for lanes and makes it
possible to draw larger loads to and
from the barn with less injury to teams,
averse and land than it could be
through cultivated fields. Besides,
except for the roadbed, the owner of
land taken for public use is as much
entitled to Iu produce as he was
befrra. He m.ty keep seeded and
either mow or prsture the roadsides,
er be may plant any kind of fruit he
ahooses, and be entitled to its produce
as long as this does not interfere with
the public use. Besides, a public road
running through a farm makes it much
easier to sell off a part and divide it
ap, should it be deemed best to do so.
This is an advantage likely to be more
thought of as the necessity for sub
dividing large farms becomes more
apparent.
There is such a thing as excessive
pruning of vines, especially of those
La rich soil, large and vigorous. If the
top of an old vine be cut too closely,
the excess of sap sends up a number of
sprouts from the root, or near the sur
face, which are commouly called sap
sprouts. To the inexperienced these
aeem just the kind of wood with which
to renew the vine, but they are not.
Usually these sap sprouts are long
Jointed and show in their texture their
Immaturity and unfitness to endure the
srintrr. The epronts that grow out
nea tVa top of the vine, and the sap
ef wnich filters through mature wood,
ripen most thoroughly and produce the
most perfect fruit. If a grape vine
has been overpruued it often requires
two years to get it in proper shape for
bearing. If it is desirable at any time
to train up a new cane as a main stem
da not precede this by cutting out all
or nearly all the old wood. Leave
enough buds at the top of the vice tt
furni'h rent for the sap in leaf au?
fruit. Then the buds that start near
the roots will grow short-Jointed, fine
ta texture and ripen perfectly.
Wherever trees are taken up In the
ZaU thiy will need extra care through
the winter, however managed. It is
pot a y.J juaoUce to plant tbea at
one where they are to grow, provided
tfie ground is reasonably well drained,
and the soil can be made loose aSj
fine. The recommendation to beel
them In until spring is an admission
that the average planter will not giv
the young trees the care in filling in
around the roots that fail planting re
quires. Jfo vacant places must be
left around the roots or between them
to be filled with air. jVor must the
tree be planted where the water will
wash away the dirt during winter or
spring.
An extra mound of earth should be
Iled around the trunk the first Winter,
to be craped away the following
Spring. This is a protection against
mice, and also helps to keep the frost
from going down to the roots, expand
ing the soil so as to admit air. Next
year, after the rooei obtained firm
foothold, this deep freezing will not
matter. Fall-set trees should be
fastened to stakes to prevent being
twisted by Winter wind- before their
roots have become established.
The English wheat crop is now es
timated at but little more than 8,000,
000 quarters of eight bushels each,
while the consumptive demand will
be fully S" ,000,000. This leaves a
shortage of fully 10,000,000 bushels,
as compared with the estimate made in
July before the crop was harvested.
As the other countries on which Eng
land has relied for food supply have
short wheat crops, h must depend
upon this country. It is fortunate
that our wheat crop is a good one, but
speculators are now unduly depreciat
ing its price until the crop can be
moved from farmers' bands. Those
who can hold their wheat for better
prices than now prevail will un
doubtedly do well to arrange it.
Unfortunately the low prices at
which all farm crops have sold for
several years make it necessary for I
many to sell their wheat early, and
place them at the mercy of those who
toll not, neither do they spin, yet who
dress in fine apparel and live off the fat
of the land. If there was ever a time
when farmers would be justified in
combination to hold their products for
better prices it is now. But we know
too well that such combination is prac
tically impossible, aud perhaps on the
whole undesirable. No valid objec
tion, however, can exist against the
policy of individual farmers who have
a good wheat crop holding it until the
price will at least pay them a fair
profit.
It 1 so difiicult to get a catch an ex
nausted sandy soils, that when one has
been obtained it should not be broken
up, unless the owner is certain it has
fertility enough to insure another good
catch. If the sandy field is bare now
sow rye heavily, or at the rate of 2 1-8
busheU per acre. The grain is smaller
uiau oi wneat, so that it will give
more pUnU than a like seeding of that
grain. The heavy growth of leaf that
such a seeding will make Is nearly as
good as sod to keep the surface from
blowing away. The light seeding sown
for grain is scarcely any protection.
In the Spring this rye growth can be
plowed nnder in time for growing a
potato crop. jVext Fall sow rye more
thinly, but add a heavy seeding of
timothy, and sow early enough to let
the latter get a good foothold before
Winter comes on. Rye exhausts sandy
soils much less than wheat, and is
therefore better for seeding to grass or
clover.
At the low rates which store cattle of
all kinds bring there ought to be some
profit in feeding for the farmer having
plenty of hay acd rough feed to work
up with grain aud meal, and warm
places for protecting the stock from
cold. A basement barn may thus
prove a profitable Investment by induc
j ing farmers to feed out mora of the
produce of their farms, and getting a
j big manure pile, instead cf selling it
. in its rough state. There is nearly al-
way a profit in Winter-feeding some
thing, if the farmer will keep sharp
watch of markets, and select what can
proportionably be purchased most
cheaply. If he cannot do any better
he can usually buy young stock, and
by good care and feeding make them
more than pay their way, besides hav
ing the manure pile as extra profit.
Farm Xotea.
Broilers are killed by cutting in the
roof of the mouth. As soon as cut,
while the body is yet warm, the pick
ers start their work, and before the
bird is cold, she Is dry picked, and then
put in a salt water bath. In this way
thousands of chickens are killed and
dressed for market, in the same time it
would take to prepare 100 the old way.
In climates where snow abounds,
Jie roadside fences should always be
made of something that can be taken
down at the approach of winter, or of
barbed wire that cannot cause a drift.
Shovelling snowdrifts made by fences,
which are of little consequence at any
other season of the year, is aggra
vating work, the more so as a little
forethought and labor would make i
unnecessary.

THE TrrTriHK TABLE,
ABOUT SODA.
Perhaps no chemical in nse by the J
Housekeeper is more pernicious wnen
abused that is, used in excess or
more valuable a ben jndiciously han
dled, than sods. Visions of a greenish
vellow compound, anciently known as
-. T . - i
kaieratns dibcuii, rise instantly De
fore ua when the abuse of soda is men
tioned, and possibly some may recall
distressing experiences resulting from
Its use as a 'stomach settler," accord
ing to the prescription of some worthy
aunt or grandam of the old regime.
A aeries of experiments, however, ex
tending over a period of some years
spent in practical housekeeping, have
convinced me that a majority o( house
keepers do not fully appreciate thia
homely chemical as an economic aid.
j'ow let ns see what soda will aave
yoa, my would-be economical house
keeper: 1. It will save you sugar. Have you
ever stood despairingly before a crock
of stewed cranberries, gooseberriee,
rhubarb, dried plums or, worse than
ell, prunellas throwing in su?ar, tast
ing; pucker. eg your face and throwing
in more, glancing dubiously meanwhile
at the lowering of the sugar in your
'dollar's worth can? 1 remember
weil my grandmother's rule for sweet
ening ie-plant pies. It was thia: "Put
in ail the angar your conscience will
allow, then aunt yonr eyes ani throw
in a double handful." Her pies were
excellent, but the rule was expensive.
Here ia a cheaper one: When sweet
ening extremely acid fruits like the
above, stir in a little soda before adding
the sngar. Experience will guide you
as to the quantity yoa may safely use
without injuring the flavor of the fruit,
bnt, as a general rule, I think a half
tc&Mpoontul of soda to a quart of fruit
mar be easily borne.
'L It wi 1 aave yoa fuel. A young
friend said to me one day, "We are
very fond of string beans, and they are
the cheapest frean vegetable one can
buy, if only it did not take ao long to
cook them, but unless I plan to have
them on baking or ironing dav X can
not aflord them. It seems absurd to
keep an extra lire for two hours just
for a little mess of beans." Have yoa
had her experience? Try a little soda
just a generous "pinch" of soda for a
common mess of beans, put into the
water in whioh you boil them, will
cook the toughest beans tender in an
hour or leas and detract nothing from
t eir flavor. The same is true of boil
ed onions, beets, touch, meat, etc In
boil mar a ham alwava parboil in soda I
water, then take it out and wash and
scrare well, add clear water, and yoa
will be surprised to see how muoh more
sweet and tender your ham will be.
3. It will save you soap. Did yon
ever try soda as a substitute for soap in
washing dishes, cleaning sinks, etc?
To a person who uses very cheap or
home-made soaps perhaps this will be
no saving in pence, but I am sure the
results will be more satisfactory. If
soda be added to the dishwater instead
of soap there will be no greasy rim
around the disbpan, no "auda" on the
dishes, and they will have a clean feel
peculiarly pleasing to the fastidious
housekeeper. In cleaning sinks and
very frreaav cooking ntenaila it ia in- i
luable, Xho philosophy or rather
chemistry, of it is apparent at once, the
alkali acting on tue grease, if yoa
have a sensitive skin which will bear
only the uae of ivory or some equally
tine grade of soap iu your common
housework, you will find soda much
cheaper and no Larder on the skin.
In fact, it ia wed known that soda
makes a valuable addition to the water
used in a bath.
Ihese, of course, are not all of the
uses of soda, bnt are offered as a sug-
