Sweet ensilage has been fed to horses without any ill results, but if it is sour, by faulty curing, it is not a safe food for these animals. A small ration only should be given, and when it is fed, it is desirable to feed whole grain in stead of ground feed. There is dan ger of fermentation of the food in the stomach when meal is given with the ensilage. If fed at the beginning, with caution, horses will get used to it, after which it may be used as the regular food.—Now York Times. HOW MUCH CLOVER TO AN ACRE. Threo bushels of clover seed per aero may be considered an excellent yiold, and as the seed is always ob tained from tho second growth of the plants most farmers think the seed crop is almost clear gain or profit. Why the second growth of clover in summer yields most soed is a question not settled. Some think it due to the presence of the common bumble bee, an insect supposed to aid in fertilizing the flowers, but it may be to a less rank growth of tho plants or the cool nights in the letter part of summer.— New York Sun. LAST DAYS AT FASTURE. It is difficult to maintain in vigor ous growth a pasture turf. Close cropping iu the dry, hot weathor has something to do with this, as also has the cropping which many pastures got late in the fall, which does not allow them opportunity to cover tho roots with an aftermath that would protect these roots from the cold and sudden changes of winter. But it is evideut that no small part of this difficulty in maintaining a good turf ou pasture lauds arises from the ill-treatment many pastures receive from the too early turning of stock abroad upon them in spring before the ground becomes well settled.—American Agri culturist. WATERING PLANTS. A question I have been asked hun dreds of times by lady customers, says J. 8. Taplin in American Gardening, is, "How often shall I water this plant V" Thero is but one answer, "Whenever it is dry." But by dry I don't mean dust-dry and so bakod that the soil is cracking away from the sides of the pot, but when tho soil be gins to feel dry to the touch or when on smartly tapping the side of the pot with the knuckles it rings from the blow. By taking a dry plant o-ml sounding it, and afterwards a wet one you will at once appreciate tho differ ence in sound. Even when tho plant is wet on the surface, if dry in the ball, tho sound will betray tho fact. Many plants in pots which are stood in jardinieres get.yellow and sick from no apparent cause. Au examination has always shown the soil sour from excess of water at tho roots, caused by the water that had soaked through the pot after watering and had been left standing in the jardiniere, tlius preventing leration, and souring the soil. Tho pot should always bo lifted out for watering and put back when it has done soaking. PRESERVING EGOS. In the experiments in keeping eggs made at one of tho New York experi ment stations, tho eggs were all wipod when fresh with a rag saturaicd with some antiseptic and packed tightly in salt, bran, etc. Eggs paeKed during April and May with salt, and which had been wiped with cottonseed oil, to which had been added boraic acid, kept from four to five months with a loss of nearly one-third, tho quality of thoso saved not being good. Eggs packed in bran, after the snme preliminary handling, were all spoiled after four months. Eggs packed in salt during March and April, after wiping with vaseline, to which salicylic acid had been added, kept four or five months without loss, the quality after four months being much superior to ordinary. Temperature of each box varying little from sixty degrees Fahrenheit, and each box was turned over once in every two days. Little difference was observed in the keeping of tho fertile and unfertile eggs, and no difference was noticeable in the keeping qualities of eggs from differ ent fowls or from those on different rations.—Now York World. , MISTAKES IN TREE SPRAYING. Mon often opply tho same remedy to all sorts of diseases, and frequently with disasterous results. Thus tho superintendent of a California orchard —a capable and energetic man, but not a "book farmer"—found his trees infested with red spiders. Knowing that a spray of salt, sulphur and lime was good for some things, he believed it good for all, and with his trees in full leaf and tender foliage, ho gave them a thorough spraying with the lime wash, with what result it io diffi cult to tell at this writing, but prob ably ho will kill tho spiders, and not improbably the trees also. Much judgment should bo used in the application of all washes in the orchard. The leaves arc tho lungs of tho tree, the breathing apparatus, and whatever destroys them injures the tree. Lime—tho chief ingredient in the lime, Bulphur, and salt wash—of course possesses highly caustic prop erties. It is this that gives it its ef fective qualitiaa, audit should be used on deciduous trees only in the winter when they are dormant. It then reaches every part of the tree and scalds the young scale insects, pre venting their growth and spread. But when the trees are in loaf it can not reach the pests so effectually, while it will do very serious injury to the trees. The orehardist owes it to himself to acquire at least some rudimentary knowledge of entomology in order to cope successfully with his insect en emies, and at the sarno time not dam age his trees or injure his insect friends. His insect foes may be roughly divid ed into two olasses, those tb"t eat with their jaws and those that snok with a bill. In dealing with tbo first class, among which are caterpillars, sings and beetles, arsenical preparations— Paris green and London purple—are the most effective remedies. In fight ing the suckers these aro useless, for the reason that this class of prsts do not eat from the surface but draw the sap of the plant or tree from beneath the surface where the surface does not penetrate, and in dealing with them another class of remedies must be used. It is here that the lime, sul phur and salt spray comes into good use in the winter, when there is no danger of burning the leaves or young growth, and a severe remedy can bo safely used. For summer use, how ever, resin solutions and kerosene emulsion, which can be used without endangering the trees, are the proper remedies. —American Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. The oabbage crop is one that nearly always pays. Sugar corn comes a littlo earlier if the tops are broken off after the ears form. An Australian farmer attributes the loss of a hundred fowls to feeding them upon sun flower seed. Make the butter first-class and put it on the market in such a manner as to make it show for all it is worth. Watercresseß is an excellent food for chickens. It can only be grown in clear water with a sandy bottom. It is claimed that a decoction of smart wood or walnut leaves applied once a day to cattlo will keep off flies. Pigs should always pay on a dairy farm, as they will assist in consuming a large proportion of waste material that is unsalable. Breeding stock of all kinds need muscle rather than fat, as the latter means the loss of energy, if not of health and vigor. All admit that a cow needs shelter in winter ;but it is equally necossary to furnish her protection from flies and the scorching rays of the sun of summer. Poultry raisers in the viciuity of summer resorts will be apt to find more money in disposing of their fowls during thehot weather than later in the season. The better inilk development se cured with the first calf, tho better re sults it is possible to secure. Make the best start possible and keep in a good condition. Pigs can be fed, handled aud dis posed of to better advantage if tho litters from the sows como about the same time. It is best to have them uniform in size and also in growth. Rye is excellent for lato pasture or for early spring. Quite a crop of it may be grown on lato corn land. It tray be sown on the land occupied by corn before the corn crop is removed. Sore places on animals caused by flies may be annointed with a mixture of one pint of crude petroleum, ono tablospoonful of woodtar undone teas poonful of carbolic acid, well mixed. So far as possible the crops on the farm shoidd be grown to suit the mar ket, and the crops that briug the highest prices in proportion to the cost of production should bo grown. If there are dogs about put a wide awake cow or two in the pen with tho sheep at night. If the cow has a young calf she will do especially faithful ser vice. A billy boat would do the busi ness pretty well. There seems to be considerable dif ference of opinion among dairy far mers as to tho feeding value of skimmed or separated milk. Some put it as high as a bushel of corn for every 100 pounds of milk, and others as low as half a bushel. The ladybird is a valuable insect de stroyer. It is tho special enemy of the little green aphis that destroys tender plants, and the ladybird is al ways seen upon rose bushes in sum mer time, because the aphis especial ly attacks the rose. Some gardeners have been troubled with black-rock in tomatoes. The fun gus of the potato rot attacks them on both leaf and fruit. There is no rem edy after it gets full possession of tho vines, but an early use of Bordeaux mixture is a preventive. A first-class animal is sure to bring a good prioe, but he who has all first class stock usually obtains "tho top of the market.'' When they all seem to be of one mold, and that a good eue, there are dealers ready to take them as a lot, and at your price. The sow must be in thrifty condi tion to produce thrifty pigs. Feed her on succulent food. Cooked or steamed clover, turnips, potatoes, beets, and a variety, with a due proportion of grain, will keep her in the best condi tin for producing thrifty pigs. The milk test has como to stay, be cause it is right that it should stay. It makes better and more honest dairy men, it teaches the farmer how to weed out his inferior stock and de velop his best, and generally, it leads to improvement of farm methods. Currant bushes in vigorous growth always make a superabundance of wood, and should be trimmed by cut ting out the old canes that were weak ened by age and fruit bearing. Also thin out new growth, and cut back the ends of long, slender branches. Keep the back barnyard as neat as the front; have the manure pile, the old board pile, the rubbish pile al ways under cover. Make the neat ness of your place noticeable and teach not only your own boys but the whole neighborhood lessons of beauty and thrift. Orass is essentially a milk, cream and butter food. The finest grain mixtuie ever devised will not answer so well. When the latter is given it should be with the idea of making bone and muscle, while the grass makes the milk. When the grass li poor the grain is a good adjunct. HOUSEHOLD Al'PAlßt). TO CIMAM TOM. The Russians clean their furs alter this fashion: Rye floor is placed in a pot and heated upon the stove, with constant stirring as long as the hand can bear the heat. Tho flour is then spread over the fur and rubbed into it with a vigorous band. After thin treatment tho fur is brushed, or, bet ter, is gently beaten until all the flour is removed. Furs treated in this man ner are said to rosume their natural oolor and luster and look like new.— New York Advertiser. TO CABVE A IjKO OP MUTTON. There are no serious difficulties in learning how to carve, and, with a lit tle study and patience, any one may quiokly learn to perform the task with sufficient skill to at least avoid re mark, and every head of a household ought to make it a study. It is not an easy matter to prepare a good dinner, but it is an easy matter to spoil the effeot by butchering the meats. Flat tery is one of the foods an amateur carver thrives on ; tell him how hand some his hands are and what graceful angles his palpitating elbows make in mid-air, and ho may not throw grease beyond the carving-mat. It is not good form for the carver to remove bis coat.—St. Louis Star-Sayings. HINTS FOR DUSTING DAT. Dusting a room is not tho simple matter lookers-on think it. It does not consist in wearing a pretty apron and an effective cap and waving a feather duster after the picturesque fashion of Phyllis in the plays. In fact a foather (luster is one of the least useful implements a woman who in tends to dust could find. It merely puts tho particles of dust in circula tion in the air and after awhile they all settle again on mantles and mirrors, pianos and chairs, to disconcert the housewifo later when she finds callers gazing with admiration upon the sil ver gray cloud that is spread over all her furniture. A dust-cloth is the proper thing to remove dust from all wood and hard materials. A stiff brush should be used for upholstered furniture. It will remove dust from plush, tapestty and the like, set it moving about in the air and as smooth surfaces have a greater attraction for dust than rough ones, it will settlo again on the tables and chairs. Then a soft, slightly damp rag will remove it. It is, con sequently, always wiso to Irrush the upholstered goods first, to allow a few minutes' intermission before dusting. The trials of dusting day can bo greatly reduced if the housewife will, during sweeping, put under cover all her bric-a-brac and books, and will, as far as possible, protect her upholstered furnituro from dust by covering it with coarse sheets. —New York World.
