Stay by your live stock, no matter how hard times get, aud if there is any one on earth who will be able to live with comparative ease you will be that one, for when stock husbandry fails there will be but little show for anything else.—New York World. THE FLAX CROP. Flax is a very exhaustive crop. It takes all its nitrogen from the soil, and both the grain and stalk are rich in nitrogenous matter. If the fibre could be separated from the stalks before they are steeped in water and partly rotted, the stalks would make a rich fertilizer. But as the flax is usually placed in running water to rot, most of the plant food it con tains is washed away and lost. Wo do not believe it pays Eastern farmers to attempt to grow flux for its seed alone. It exhausts fertility too much. At present flax seed can be bought for less than it ought to sell, provided the Western farmers who grow this crop were as careful as they should be about maintaining the fertility of their soil. —Boston Cultivator. GRIT FOR FOWLS. After reading and hearing much about pounding crockery for fowls, writes M. E. Allen, I thought I would try the experiment, though with but little faith that the fowls would care much for such provender. It was a much dreaded jolj; for I supposed I must pound up "a lot" and gather it up into a dish for them to pick at their leisure. But I found on trial that the stuff flew everywhere ; so that business soon played out. Next I took a flat stone into the heu house, with a hammer, and pounded away till I was tired. At iirst the hens paid no attention to the grit; but after a few days of confinement when the ground was covered with snow, 1 no ticed that the broken china had all disappeared, audit was not long be fore I had to drive them back for fear of pouding their heads, so anxious were they to get the hard grits. Broken glass and dishes were utilized, thus clearing the pantry shelves of useless rubbish. —National Stockman. BLANKETING SHEEP. It was au old custom with early breeders of merino sheep in Italy aud elsewhere to cover the lambs with a sort of linen shirt, sewed ou, so as to keep a constant pressure on the wool, and wetting this covering with warm water to make the wool soft and sleek. Ah the lamb grew the bandage wa< loosened slightly, but kept tight enough to hold the fibers together. The lamb was killed when its pelt reached the highest value for the de sired purpose. It was, and is, a prac tice of some sheep raisers to keep coverings on their sheep to give greater quality to the fleece. The I practice is quite common with ex hibitors at sheep shows. At the Co lumbian World's Fair, H, G. McDowell showed in his large exhibit what he was pleased to call his "light topped" Dickinson delaine meriuoes. They had evidently been blanketed since they were shorn last spring. The ef fect was very pleasing. The expense was trifling, and the jelling qualities of the fleeces were greatly enhanced. —American Agriculturist. OLD HORSES MADE INTO FERTILIZER. Farmers whose horses are played out aud useless cau sell them for $1.50 to $2 a piece to establishments that convert the animals into a fertij izer, says the Drovers' Journal, and then later on the farmer purchases the fertilizer and plants the output of his old horses where it will enrich Lis crops and hasten their growth. The manner of disposing of the ani- ' mals is this: When led from the pen the horse is tied to a post and the "black cap" placed over its head. The executioner then strikes it across the head with au ax and the animal falls helpless to the floor. Its throat is then cut and life vanishes. This done, the process of dissection aud separation begins. The hide is first j removed and the carcass boiled, if ! it contains any fat. The grease is ! designated as "horse oil." The bones of the lower limbs are boiled, and the fat extracted from them is called "neatsfoot oil." When the flesh of the carcass has been thoroughly boiled and the grease skimmed oft' the sur face of the vat it is thrown into the cellar and allowed to remain there for over three months, all the time being subjected to the influence of potash and gypsum, which is mixed with it and which rots it. The bones pass through two crush ers, the first of which reduces them and the second grinds them to pow der. Several chemical ingredients are then mixed with the bone dust. This preparation is what is commonly known as bone fertilizer, and is prob ably the best artiticial commodity used in agriculture. The horse hides are disposed of to leather manufacturers, and bring more than was originally paid for the entire animal. But not horses alone are used in the produc tion of fertilizer. A great many cat.- tlo go that way, too, and as for bones, those of any animal are valuable. Several quality of fertilizers are produced from animals; it all depend ing upon the amount aud quality of the ingredients used. Various vege tables aud cereals reqnire fertilizer of a certain strength, and while a certain quality will produce good results on one kind of vegetable it will destroy another. The price per ton rangeaall the way from §2O to #35. HAY MULCII AS A FERTILIZER. Wishing to use a piece of laud that was apparently a must barren, worth less plot of ground, one of my neigh bors tried some experiment*, writes Thomas lirabazou. of Connecticut, in the Atiieriofwi A<• ri ■lUuriit. The only vegetation apparent WHS A scanty growth of daisies, a few buttercups, aud a large )uautity of sour grass or field Borrel. The soil was of hard clay, and in a drouth it was baked to the depth of five or six inches, and possibly more; and I have seen a heavy shower lasting several hours pour down upon it uutil it seemed as though it would deluge the whole sur face, but to my surprise, after it had ceased raining for two hours, this ground seemed as hard and dry as it had been before. Two years ago last summer this land was broken up, manured, and planted with potatoes, which yielded almost nothing. But it was here that my neighbor tried a new plan, at least new to roe, and possibly to many others, lie had A partially meadowed piece of land close by, and during the summer when the potatoes were hoed for the last time he cut the grass on the meadow, and after it had dried he spread it along through the hills be tween the rows of potatoes. He cut the meadow the second time and spread the cutting as before ;and by the time the potatoes were ready for digging the hay had settled well down on the surface, and the hay was covered with soil when the potatoes were dug. The next spring it was plowed much easier, appeared more friable than before, and after tilling it well, he sowed a varied assortment of vegetables, and among them peppers, which, when ready for picking, were the largest in this vicinity. Some of the vegetables did not do quite as well as they would, had they been in other soil, but taking all in all he had a surpris ingly fine crop on his hay fertilizer, which he continue I to apply when ever the meadow was ready for cut ting. Last summer, much to my surprise, he put several trenches through th* lowest part of the clay bank, which broke up even better than before, and set out some four hundred or five hun dred plants of White Plume eelerv, using a liberal quantity of well rotted barnyard manure. Every one knows about the drouth we experienced last summer, but he continued his appli cation of hay, aud the result was mar velous. The hay protected the scorch ing sun from striking directly on tha soil, and all the moisture was availa ble for the plants. To be sure there still remained lumps of earth which were exceedingly hard, but these were utilized in a telling manner. In hoe ing his celery he would set these hard lumps of clay around each plant, about two inches away from the stalks, and carefully draw the looser and finer earth up to it. The result was that he had some of the finest celery I had ever seen, and it was as clean and white when taken from the ground as though it had been carefully washed and scrubbed. FARM AND GARDEN' NOTES. Have you provided for a soiling crop thin summer? Pumpkins are an excellent fall and winter feed for cattle. The liens will now do better and lay better if the males are removed. Overfeeding is one of the fruitful causes of leg weakness in young chicks. The Houdan crossed on Partridge Cochins makes excellent fowls for broilers. With good management in most eases two garden crops can be grown in one season. It is throwing away money to trust your horse to tho charge of an already overworked trainer. It is economy in little things that makes the profit in the poultry busi ness above all others. If a new roostar is introduced every year, more eggs will be obtained than from a flock that has been closely in bred. A ration of one part cracked wheat, one part cornmeal and two parts whole oats constitute an excellent grain food. As a rule, the cross is hardier than the thoroughbred, beoause the latter has been so inbred as to lose its origi nal hardiness. No plant on the farm will respond more readily to good treatment than the potato. Clean culture is an absolute necessity. The wise farmer gets out all the early hatched chickens he can, sells all the males, and keep the pullets for eggs for the Chribtmas holiday trade. If it pays to raise turnips in Eng land as food for sheep, why cannot it bo done in this country, where the farmer is not burdened with an enor mous rent? The l'eet of the mule are not so liable to injury as those of the horse. The animal itself is hard'erand less dainty in its food. Hence it is to be pre ferred for soma purposes. After all the juice has been ex tracted from the stalks of o sorg hum, the crushed refuse or b&g&gse, as it is termed, forms a nutritions food for cows, by which it is greedily eaten. It is useless to grow onions, no matter how rich tho soil may be, if the rows are not kept perfectly clean. Weeds and grass will destroy an onion bed in short order, as ouions prefer the laud undisturbed by other plants, hence the ground muut be kept loose and line. Tho Texas Live Stock Journal con ] tinues to urge tho cattle raisers of th« Southwest to breed for top grades. It is the supremest folly to breed for and raise a scrub for two cents a pound, when top grades that will bring four and live cents cau be as easily bred and as cheaply raised and fattened. There uro certain principles which I are equally essential whether one is growing stock or cultivating crops. One thing tliut must bo done IU either ease is to weed alosely. Some men never think of wee.liug out the in ferior ealves or ptg«, but goon breed ing tlieiu, aud so perpetuate their ! bad qualities. Finest Horsemen In the World. "The United States cavalry of to day are the finest horsemen in the world," said Thomas P. Qninlan, of Omaha, who is at the Sturtevant, "and it is all due to the wonderful training that the troopers are put through at Fort Reilly, where the Government has established a riding school which is the largest in the world. While on a business trip out there recently I witnessed a troop of the Seventh Cav alry at drill. One of the most strik ing maneuvers is as follows • A platoon of mounted men is drawn up at one end of the arena. Across the center of the arena a hurdle three feet and a half in the clear is stationed. At a note of the bugle each trooper sets back on the cantel of his saddle, at a second call all the stirrups are crossed, having been previously shortened for the purpose. At the next call the troopers insert their feet into the stir rups and stand up ; then the charge is sounded and the troops in perfect line move toward the hurdle at a smart gallop, rising toget her and landing on the other side in perfect alignment. The charge is continued to the end of the arena. The call 'Fours about,' is heard, the platoon is agaiu in line, re turns and takes the hurdle the second time; the calls 'Fours left about' is again given and the command comes to a halt, drops back to the cantel, re moves the feet and replaces the stir rups. This is one of the most thril ling spectacles imaginable. It is by by no means as intricate, however, ad the figure eight movement in single and double file executed by a full troop all standing up in their short ened and crossed stirrups. A frequent spectacle is a 'charge of forty or fifty men four abreast, all standing up. Cossaok fashion, around the arena for the distance of a mile."—New York Advertiser. A Peculiar Will. A man named Zalesky, who died in Poland in 1889, left a peculiar will. The envelope which contained the will said : "To be opened after my death." When the envelope was torn off, an other one was found underneath, with the words, "To be opened six weeks after the first envelope has been opened." The next envelope bore the inscription, "To be opened in a year." After waiting a year the envelope was opened and found to contain still an other, which said, "To be opened in two years." And when the will was finally reached it was found that he had bequeathed 100,000 rubles or half his fortune to his relatives having the largest number of children, while the other half was to be invested for a hundred years, at the end of which time the principal and interest were to be divided among his relatives.
