MVE STOCK THE SHEET ANCHOR.
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.

Thr Oldest Tune In the World. '
What is the oldest tune in the world?|
An Kuglish journal maintains it is the
tune which is now wedded to the
words "We won't go homo till morn
ing." Napoleon's soldiers played it i
in the shadow of the pyramids in 1779
and the Bedouins who heard it wept for
joy. It was found among the children
of the desert by the Crusaders. No
doubt it was howled by Chaldean chap
pies when they were merry with wine.
It is, according to experts, the ele
mental protoplasmic tune, and when
you come to whistle it to yourself it
is simple.
A Curious Story.

that has a curious story connected
with it. In the winter of '74 an im

an the night and froze their feet in,
hard and fast. In the morning the
iflock arose as though by a common
impulse and carried the pond away
