An experienced pear grower reoom meuds the use of 400 pounds of muri ate of potash with 800 pottuds of ground boue per ucre each year. One half of this mixturo ho applies to the orchard in tho autumn and tho other half in tho spring, when plowing. The necessary nitrogen is supplied by sowing crimson clover with the fertil izer—New York World. TAOOIKO TIIE SHEEP. Tagging t.ho sheep is a necessary thing to be dono if the shepherd would avoid the injurious fly. Tho heat, as well as tlio effect of tho green soft feoding wheu sheep are on pasture, loosen the droppings and this soilsthe wool. The ever watchful fly lays its oggs on tho filthy wool, aud before anything is known the sheep are fly blown, after which a few days is time enough to cover the wholo hindquar ters with the maggots. It is a very difficult thing then to save the sheep. It is worth while to savo the tags and after a few days' soaking iu water to have them washed and taken care of. —Farm, Field and Fireside. BRAN AS A FERTILIZER. Thirty odd years ago the lato Solon Robinson, after making some experi ments with wheat bran and corn meal as fertilizers on bis lawn, declared they were fully as cheap for this pur poso ns any of the commercial fertil izers then on the market. Several ex periments have been made with bran and what are called "middlings" as fertilizers for grass, and with good results. All planters at the. South know what a change has beeu wrought within the last two or three decades in the use of cotton seod, and cotton seed meal and waste from the oil mills for enriching the soil for all kinds of crops. At a recent mooting of mill owners at Louisvillo this subject of using wheat brau as a fertilizer was again brought to tlio fore and highly endorsed by those who have tested it practically. If chemical analysis is worth anything as a test of the fer tilizing value of wheat bran, then at the price at which it lias been selling for the last year or two it is worth more than its cost as a manure. Most farmers, however, will prefer to feed it to their animals and then save the manure, but it cannot be maintained that anything is added to the value of tho bran as a fertilizer by this process. —New York Sun. TREATMENT OF AN OROIIARD. The treatment of an orchard is a subject of importance ami should bo well studied. If the land is so wet that it needs draiuage. it is not fit for use 011 this account. The land must then be drained, or tho trees will not thrive. The roots will run into the draius and choko them, making double mischief, for the land will soon be as wet as beforo and the labor and money will be lost. Clay land is not the best for an orchard; a lightish, gravelly land is better, and still more so if it is limestone. Tt would bo bettor to set the orchard far from the house in lighter land than in clay because of its nearness. If tho laud is clay, but not wet, it may bo improved by sub soiling it; that is, by plowing in the furrow of a common plow and im mediately aftc-r it with a bar plow-- that is, ono with a long bar liko a coulter that will break the subsoil and loosen it. This might bo done in a strip botween tho rows of trees aud about six feet wide, but near tho trees tho laud should bo plowed no doeper than a few inches, lest tho small roots be broken and tho treos checked in growth. It is a good thing for an orchard to bo sown with clover and pastured by swino or sheep.— American Farmer. HARDY WINTER OATS. AVinter oats are one of tho best pay ing crops that can be grown, writes a Dolaware farmer. Whorover intro duced they aro superseding spriug oats entirely. Oats aro essentially a cool weathercrop, and failures either partial or total with spring oats, on aocount of tho hot, dry weather of Juno and July, aro so common that many farmers ure entirely discouraged from growing them. This trouble is entirely obviated by substituting win ter oats. They are sown at the same time as winter woeat, and ripen with wheat the following season, so that the harvesting and threshing may all bo done at tho same time. Tho variety we grow in Delaware is perfectly hardy—as much so as Fultz who>t— and withstands tho severest weather perfectly. On good soil a yield of fifty to eighty bushels is common. They grow a strong, stiff straw, which stands up well. They are a very heavy oat, a measured bushel weighiug from thirty-eight to forty-five pounds. I have known crops of those oats this season that gave au average of eighty bushols per aero on twenty to thirty aero fields. One and a half bushels per acre aro enough to sow. Winter oats aro also a good crop to soed clover with. The same fertilizatiou and tillage that will produco a good wheat crop will give a big crop of win ter oats. American Agriculturist. STRAW AS FEED. The value of straw for feeding pur poses depends almost entirely ou the method of harvesting. Tho riper tho grain is allowed to become, the drier and less nutritious is tho straw. It is woll kuowu that rye-grass hay out be fore the seed is ripo is much more val uable and fetches a higher price thau it does if tho seed is allowed to ripen before cuttiug. Ho it is with every other species of that kind of food. Hay and straw oro practically the same crop, though cut at different stages of growth, which is a faot too frequently overlooked. When feeding largely on such suc culent food as roots or grains, straw should be given at least twice a day, as it is found that without straw or hay cattle do not thrive so well. Tho different sorts of straw Luve» as tc- garils their nutritive value, been placed in the following order: 1, pea straw ; 2, oat-straw; 3, beau-straw, with tho pods; 4, barley-straw; 5, what-straw; G, bean-straw, without the poils. Poa-strow, if proporly har vested in a dry season, is a most valu able foot], aud should never be used as litter. If, however, it has been much rained upon, and, is consequent ly dirty and more or less mouldy, it will sour itock. For sheep it is most excellent. Horses, too, are very food of, and th rive well upon it. Of the white straws, oat straw is undoubtedly tho most valuable for feeding, but its value depends much upon the time of cutting. Oats should be cut when tolerably green, and al though part of the grain may be lost in this way, it is gained in another, and the straw is in a condition most valuable for stock feeding. Beau straw, well harvested, is a very hearty aud nutritious food for cart horses and cattlo during the winter, and here again tho value of tho straw is depend ent on the time of cutting, says a writer in Farm and Home. If out while yet green and before the leaves have fallen off, wo havo a fodder of groat value; but if allowed to stand until quite ripe the loaves fall off, and the straw, besides containing less nu triment, becomes so bard and woody that it is necessary to chaff and steam it before stock can make any use of it. Barley straw, especially when mixed with a good proportion of clover, is of great importance iu the economy of tho farm. Barley straw grown in the South is considered belter than that grown in the North, it being difficult in the latter portion of the country to save it iu tolerable order, especial ly with clover. Wheat straw, cut into chaff, is much used for horses and cat tlo. In consuming straw, the inferior sorts should be first mado use of, and afterwards those of a better kind, and when feeding stock on large quanti ties of this coarse and dry article, al ways allowing plenty of succulent food or have an abundant supply of water at baud.—New York World. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Don't forget to give tho horse soma salt. A little greaso will sometimes savoa lot of horse. Now is the season to reap the re ward of your labor. After bringing tho horso in brush off his feet aud jogs. Don't keep any animal on tho farm that docs not pay a profit. Endeavor to have tho homo sur roundings pleasing to tho eye. Every farmer should keep a set of books the samo as auy other business man. If tho stable is kept swoot and cloau it will largely reduce the number of flies. Market all quarrolsomo roosters, ovor-fat hons and non-laying pullets beforo cold weather. When tho orchard begins boaring it should roceive au annual dressing of phosphoric acid aud potash. A little nitrate of soda sprinklod in tho rows aud hills of the lima boaus will hasten the growth of the vinos. Fowls which feather and mature early are usually good producers of eggs, good sitters and good mothors. Thero will have to be considorablo "head-work" used during harvesting in order to mako everything dovetail. Uniformity is a great advantage that creamery butter has over dairy butter. Dairy butter is made in small lots. Oil tho harness the first chanco you get. If it does not come soon, take timo. Hot ivcathor sups tho life out of harness. Shearing off a little wool around tho teat will often prevent tho loss of tho lamb from iudigestion consequent on swallowing a lock of wool. Occasionally a crop of grass may bo grown in tho orchard if the land is rich, but a permanent grass sod is stiro to injure tho trees sooner or later. Don't let tho woeds grow up and go to soed where early crops have boen removed and in the paths. If you do it will bo adding to your work next year. It pays t» havo careful milkers who will be gentle with tho cows aud who always milk cleau. A man may easily lose more thau his wages by careless milking. Shepherds who would bo fully post ed in the art of growing wool must study tho Bcioucc of breeding, aud tho whole story of tho natural history of the sheep. lie sure to feed green oorn to the cows. In no other way cau it be used to pay so well. Sweet corn is prefer able until cold weather, then field corn is better. Somo people seem to forgot that tho amount of profit on a pound of butter ofteu depends as much on re ducing the cost of production as in obtaining an enliauced price. The dairyman's responsibility for the care of his cows is not all gone when ho is ablo to turn them out to grass in tho early summer. Tho more he feols his responsibility in this di rection, and acts upon it, tho moro valuable will his dairy becomo to him. Compared with well-rotted barn manure, there are 45.60 pounds of phosphoric acid in hen mauuro to six in barn-yard manure; and sixty-seven pounds of nitrogen to elovon in barn yard manure. The analysis is based ou a ton each of hen and barn-yard manures. A duckling at a week old should weigh lour ouuoes; two weeks, nino ounces; three weeks, one pound ; four weeks, one pouud aud nine ounces; five weeks, two pounds and two ouuees; six weeks, two pouuds aud eleven ouuees; seven weeks, three pounds aud live ounces ; eight weeks, four pounds; nine weeks, four poundo aud eight uiiuccs. HOUSEHOLD AFPAIttSS. t'Otjm full MAItKRTINII. Tt. takes experience to learn how to select prime fruiln nnd and the young housekeeper ranis borne!f ttm iltipo of tho market people agaiu nml again because she does not know good from bad or frosh from stale i u reference to edibles. A fow points «iven by n markot-inau himself may asxist lier. To start with, there are potatoes. Select only those with well* filled jackets nml free from sprouts; avoid those that have wrinkled skiu ami aro «oft to tho touch. Nature in* tende;! that tho edible portiou of the )>otato should, when, in a healthy con dition, fill its skiu almost to tho burst iii'» point with pood, wholesome nour ishment. An old potato coutains very little tliat is fit to eat. While thoy are cheaper than new potatoes, they aro really more expensive, because iho waste is enormous. In choosing lemons, seek thoso with Ihiu bkius and that are firm and full. The cucurabor should be, whon thoroughly ripe, streaked with yellow. Tho dark green variety is tho doctors' best sura ner frieirl. In buying toma toes, choose the rich red variety, even if they cost more. A tomato that is streako.l with white and is hard is a flavorless morsel. To tell if the tomato is perfectly ripe, pull out the stem. If it comes out easily and cloan, tho vegetable is in a prime condition; if the stem brings with it some portious of tho inside the tomato is tooripofor use. Watormelons, of course, are always green, and to tell as to the ripeness of tliem and tho condition of the fruit two tests are easily made. Tho first method is to have your dealer out out a small plug for your inspection. This is the truly safe way. The other method depeuds on the hoaring. Thump the sides of tho melon, and if it gives forth a hollow sound the chances aro that it is ripe for tho ico box, and after it has been twenty-four hours in tho cold to get it thoroughly chilled you may cut it and Vie satisfied that your guests will bo pleasod. Muskuiolons, to be prime, should be yellow in color. Tho green musk uiolon, no matter how sweot and juicy, is not in tho full perfection of' its flavor. Apples to bo absolutely fit, should have a mellow appoarance, bo they of tho rod, green or russet varieties, and tinged with yellow. In fact, almost every fruit that grows, when in tho best condition, takos on a hue of yellow as though to tell that it has received plenty of sunshine to ripen it.—Trenton (V. J.) American.

Of course, they want a thorough rinsing in hot suds afterward to freo them of all odor, but the real toil of scouring is what she dreads and not the quick and easy rinsing. If she has an oil-cloth ou her floor, sho adds a gill of kerosene to her scouring water, dips a mop in tho pail, passes it quickly over tho paintod surface, dries it with a flannel cloth, and with this slight effort leaves it bright and potisho.l almost as new, and au oil-cloth treated in this man ner will outlast ono scrubbed up in tho old wny twice over. Many o housekeeper's heart haa gone nigh to breaking in despair over painted floors and balcouies which showed overy footmark, and wore only made dingy aud dismal by all efforts to wash them out.
