FOOD FOB CALVES.
In behalf of tho calves the Jersey
Bulletin begs to remind those who are
feeding separated skim milk that it is a
very, very thin iOod. It needs to be
generously reinforced with some flesh -
forming and fat-making substance, such
as boiled flaxseed, linseed oil meal,
gruel or other like substance. In tho
most careful hand-skimming there is
more or less fat left in the skim milk,
and it is therefore a little better calf
food, but even hand-skimmed milk is
very poor reliance as a steady diet unless
reinforced by something of more sub
stance. Do n«t forgot this.
A GOOD MARKET CROSS.
Experiments made by crossing an
Indian game malo with Plymouth
Kock hens, the past season, resulted in
some very choice table birds, and which
sold readily in the market. The only
objection was tho leggy appearand of
the chicks when about half grown, but
their appearance did not indicate truly
their weight, as every one weighed at
least half a pound more thau other
chicks of the same age, from different
crosses, while their quality was far above
that of any other market cross made.
The game improves all other breeds for
the table, but the chicks seem to be
somewhat tender when young.— Man

KEEP A RECORD OF NEWLY-SET TREES.
It is not good policy to trust wholly to
memory or labels for the record of newly
set trees. In setting a new orchard or
filling in an old one, or setting various
kinds of trees about the house, make a
record of it in a book kept for the pur
pose and placed where it will be acces
sible at all times. The same applies 'to
small fruits. This record will not only
be an aid to the one who plants them,
but to those who may take his place.
Also note the date of planting, and how
old they were when set. Some trees
and vines need to be trimmed and man
aged differently from others, to obtain
the best results, and to know just where
they arc located is a good thing. Plants
and shrubbery with long, difficult names
should also be recorded in the book,
with both tho common and botanical
name. Record the season of bloom; and
if any special care or cultivation is I
recommended, write it out, or, what is I
better, paste in the printed directions
with your notes.—American Agricul
turist.
PURSLANE LOVERS.
The purslane weed is of some use, if
it is a nuisance of the larui. Tho hogs
are especially fond of it, aud as it is
good for them there is no reason why the
weed should not be given to them. All
farmers are more or less acquainted with
the weed and know full well how it
thrives. When they are killing the
weeds, and if it can bo done without
(iauger to crops, let the hogs have the
run of the field. Then watch and sec
what a perfect picnic tho porkers will
have.
If it is not possible to give tho pigs
the run of the fields gather nil the weeds
possible and throw it to them. AVc
know of a farmer who makes it a prac
tice togo every mcrniug aud pull a good
amount of the weeds for the pigs. He
claims that in the morning is tho best
time to give them this food, and says
they enjoy it more. But we think the
time of day to give tho pigs the weeds
is immaterial, and the best time is when
you think you have enough weeds col
lected for them.—American Farmer.
"WINTERING FRUIT WOOD.
Grapes can be grown even in the coldest
sections, if the vines are laid down on
the soil in November, so as to be cov
eied with snow, and this is an easy mat
ter with their pliant stems.
Professor Budd says that peach trees
bave been fruited in lowa by using the
same preservative means. Their stiff,
branchy nature ill adapts them to lying
down, but this difficulty, as explained in
the Rural New Yorker, is overcome by
reducing the young tree to a single bare
stem after one year's growth. This stem
is bent flat to the ground late in the fall;
the root 3 boiug bent or cut to make it
practicable. About five feet of the stem
remain permanently horizontal and the
point grows upward and is allowed to
branch; but chiefly in line with the pros
trate stem, and is staked to hold it erect.
In the next fall the top is eaiily bent
down to one side or the other and held
flat by billets of wood.
The Antwerp sorts of raspberry can be
fruited with similar carc to let only three
or four canes grew in a hill in summer
and to weight these down for the win
ter. It 13 best not to cover any of such
laid down shoots with eaith as, if mild
weather occurs before April, the fruit
buds may swell and rot. A difficulty in
the case of the beach tree is its tendency
to making rank growth late in summer,
■which cannot ripen well. The bending
and training indicated above are likely
to check this over production of soft
wood and to induce more flowering buds
aud shoots.
SALT MAKES MOHF. MILE.
It is being reported as something now
that the giving of salt to cows has the
effect of increasing the yield of milk.
There is nothing new in this except to
these persons who are beginners in tho
business of keeping cows, or who do not
read a paper in which any information
ou this subject is regularly given. It is
a very simplo matter. Milk is made only
from the food that is digested. If tho
food is not di -sted, not only is there a
loss of mater. ,1 of which milk may be
made, but the cow does not feel well.
Both these ar" conducive to a decrease
of the milk. But when a cow is regu
larly supplied with salt, not only is she
satisfied with this gratification of her
tastec aud inclinations, but the digestion
of the food is perfect, and tho result i3
that the milk yield is up to the highest
point. The digestive fluid consists in
part of a hydrochloric acid, of which salt
is partlj made up, and thus this indis
pensable agent of digestion is supplied
to the cows. Salt is thus as much a food
as sugar, which goes so largely to raain-
Mkiu the vital heal aud support life, aud
it should be given to all animals that do
not live wholly on animal food, and in
proportion to the amount of vegetable
food they consume. The staple supply
determined upon by experts is two
ounces for a cow, one ounce for a horse,
a dram for a sheep per day, and a small
quantity at intervals of a few days for
swine and poultry. The quantity given
to a cow is for the reason that she gives
milk which contains salt, and thus needs
more than a liorsc, but a mare that is
nursing a foal should have an increased
allowance, although this is rarely thought
of.—American Dairyman.
EXPERIMENTS WITII OATS.
Experiments have been made at the
Illinois station on rate and depth of
seeding, and tests of varieties of oats.
All were made on the fertile dark-colored
soil of the station grounds. Welcome
oats were sown ou seven plats, each one
by sixteen rods, at the rate of from one
to four bushels per acre. The yields of
both grain and straw for each of the four
years the experiment has been in pro
gress and the averages of the four years
are tabulated for each rate of seeding.
The largest yield of grain in 1891 was
from sowing three and one-half bushels
per acre with iittle variation between the
plats sown at the rate of two, two and
one-half, three, three and one-half and
four bushels per aero. The average yields
for four years were much the same as the
above. One or one and a half bushels
gave smaller average yields than any of
the heavier seedings. Tho weight of
the grain per bushel was loss in the case
of the light seeding.
As to depth of covering tho indica
tions were that the returns were slightly
better from covering two inches deep,
though in trials for four years the best
results have not come from covering the
same depth in any two years.
The average yield per acre in tests of
forty-four varieties on fifty-five plats in
1830 and 1891 was 66.6 bushels of grain,
weighing 33.5 pounds per bushel, aud
2840 pounds of straw.
The early-maturing varieties are those
harvested July 6 to 14; tho medium,
.luly 16 to 20, and the late, July 2-4 to
30. Tho early-maturing varieties are
superior to either the medium or late in
the average yield of both grain and
straw, the weight per bushel and size of
I berries, but are inferior to either of these
in per cent, of kernel; the dun-colored
gave the smallest yield und the largest
per cent, of kernel. As to the panicles,
open or closed, the latter are superior in
yield of both grain and straw and also in
per cent, of kernel.
As to weight per bushel, those which
weigh less than thirty-two pounds are
superior in both yield and per cent, of
kernel. Notwithstanding the common
belief to the contrary, it is said those
oats which weigh least to the bushel
have usually the highest per cent, of
kernel aud consequently the highest
food value. Thirty varieties have been
tested for three years and fourteen ad
ditional for two years. No one variety
lias been shown to be greatly superior to
all others. A different variety stood
first in yield in each of the three years.

FABM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Tomatoes should not grow too much
vine.
Potatoes should be kept in the coolest
and darkest place possible.
Low-growing vegetables may be cul
tivated between berry bushes.
The wool from well fed sheep is much
better than from half-starved ones.
When transplanting, have the roots
straight and in their natural position.
There is no profit in letting bees
make wax. Honey is what is wanted,
not wax.
Tomato leaves are also said to make a
good insecticide if steeped in water and
sprinkled over plants.
Poorly kept »heep will not make the
owner rich, nor do much towards build
ing up tho fertility of the soil.
The wood queen-excludere do not
seem to take much. Tho bees enlarge
the cuts and the queens go above.
If the weeds have started up in the
wheat fields in many cases it will bo
found a good plan to turn in the sheep.
If the fowls get too fat give them
some grain not rich in carbo-hydrates.
Oats as a single food will tend to lessen
the fat.
Bee that tho poultry exhibited at the
fnirs have airy coops. If they are neat
and uniform iD size the display will show
off better.
Excelsior tho material used by
upholsterers—is said to be an excellent
thing for beekeepers. When iguited it
'makes a dense smoke.
If you have late hatched turkeys it
will be well to see that they do not get
into the grass until the dew is off even
though the sun is bright.
Tho cause of the death of bees in a
hivo is quite often due to staivation.
And what may seem worse, tho owner of
the apiary rarely knows the cause.
In shipping poultry do not crowd the
coops too full. Besides tho sufferings
caused the fowls, tho death of two or
three will take off the expected profits
and cause disappointment.
Cult'vate late potatoes the same as the
spring crop. As an advantage to tho
potato, level cultivation is best, but
when slightly ridged or hilled they can
be more easily plowed out.
If tho garden is well planned, three
crops can be secured in one season, but
the ground must be kept occupied. As
soon as one crop has matured another
must be ready to take its place.
To pive pormanoucy and uniformity
to the ideal type that has been adopted,
selections for breeding must bo strictly
confined to animals having tho desired
characters, within the limits of a dis
tinct breed, or of a single family of a
distinct breed.

T HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
_ w
TO SWEEP THE COBWEBS. "*
Canton coverings brpoms
are made by careful housewives with
which to sweep the cobwebby corners of
ceilings and also for use upon the pres
ent popular mattings. These coverings
are cut in the shape of the brush part of
the broom, over which they are slipped,
the sides are left open and tied with
pieces of tape in three or four places, so
that they may be easily removed when
washing is necessary or the broom is re
quired for harder sweeping than the
soft flannel will allow.—New York
World.
HINTS ON CARVINO.
It is pleasant to see a woman carve, if
she does it deftly; there seems something
appropriate and almost Scriptural in a
woman's dispensing food to her house
hold. English women nearly always
carve, but in this country the work is al
most invariably relagated to tho men.
To save strength, time and patience in
carving it is absolutely nocessary to have
a sharp knife. As a general rule cut
across the grain. A turkey should be
placed with the head toward the right
hand of the carver. The breast is
generally cut in slices parallel with the
breastbone; but if the turkey is large,
first cut the wings off close to the body
and then cut across.
A good way to keep a knife perfectly
sharp, and make your husband think
you give him the tenderest of joints, is
to use a "rifle," such as the farmers
sharpen their scythes upon. A few turns
on this will give an edge that will cut
through anything.—New York Tribune.
UNIX ABM FULNESS OF CAKE.
Cake of the simple kinds, especially
sponge, is and can be frequently given
to the sick. Good sponge cake served
with sweet cream or a glass of milk is
an excellent iunch for an invalid.
Some of the plain kinds of butter
cakes—thoso made with a little butter—
such as white, "feather" and similar va
rieties—are really excellent food. Con
sider for a moment what they contain:
Eggs, milk, butter, sugar and flour—
five of the most valuable of all our food
products.
Yet there are those who pride them
selves upon not eating cake. This
idiosyncrasy can only be explained in
one or two waj'3. Either the cake which
they havo had has not been properly
made or else it has been so good that
during a lapse of judgment they have
eaten too much.
The dark fruit cakes are to be avoided
by both sick and well on account of the
indigestible nature of the dried fruits
used in them, and also because they are
generally very compact and heavy, not
light.
There is a custom prevalent in many
kitchens of using what is called "cook
ing butter," that is, butter which is off
taste or rancid. If you have no other
butter for cake, don't make any. Cake
made with that will not come under the
head of "unharmful." Sweet butter and
fresh eggs, not "store" eggs, are abso
lutely necessary.
Also is needed a dainty thinker to
oil the pan in which it is to be
baked, so that the outside of tho
cake shall not taste of the fat.
Many an otherwise good, harmless
cake has been spoiled by doing this with
dirty or rancid grease. Use sweet but
ter or sweet olive oil.—Chicago News
Record.

campaigner who had won his spur in
the Crimea, became involved in a diffi
culty with a fellow officer, and a duel
was the result. The Colonel, being the
challenged party, selected pistols as the
weapons and elected that the affair
should occur in a darkened room. We
secured-a room twenty feet square, closed
every crevice that would admit light,
placed our men in corners diagonally op
posite and withdrew. Each man was
provided with three charges and when
these were" exhausted we rushed Into

the head of the Colonel's opponent were
the three bullet holes made by the
Colonel's pistol. 'How is this"? said n
grizzled old Major. 'Had you been

fired you would have been killed.' The

Fertile Alaska.
The nature of the whole land can be
roughly divided into three conditions:
Snow and ice fields bury the C3aat range
and choke up every hollow; to the im
mediate north the valleys are rocky and
barren, but the vast interior beyond is
richly clothed In luxuriant vegetation.
The soientiflc authorities theoretically
mapped out giant ice fields as spreading
over the entire land from the Fair
weather and Mount St. Elias ranges
north almost to the valley of the Yukon.
Colossal heights mantled in never
melting snows tower thousands of feet
in tho air, but within the shadow of
these mighty upland!, in the sheltered
hollows beneath, lie immense valleys
carpeted in richest grasses, and grace
fully tinted with wild flowers. Here in
the summer a genial clime is found,
where strawberries and other wild fruits
ripon to luxuriance, where there are four
