Ten years ago the. sawmill owners would pile their saw-, ‘dust until they had a large heap, and® then they would burn it, getting no return whatever. The most of them now have Dutch ovens for drying the dust, and they burn it in their fur- naces, making the refuse pay for the operation. Still others have establish- ed paper mills, and use their sawdust for making paper. In the olden days great logs were taken and squared and: the slabs were thrown away. NOW a very thin slice is taken off. Then 2 board is sawed and edged, and in that way. hardly a perceptible fraction is has its uses.

TWEED. 1125 Penn Ase, Pittsburg, Pa : About Sweet Corn. ¥ il Sweet corn is grown, it will be a good plan to-8ave a few of the ear- lie§t and best ears for seed. By care- ful selection every yearthe corn will be eariier each succeeding springs and if quality, size and plumpness of grain arc also considered, .-.great improve- ment in the sweet corn can be made, " The Horse's food. t is elaimed that two per cent. of a horse's weight of good, nourishing food is all that he should be fed -a day. By this tule-a horse weighing 1560 pounds should receive thirty pounds of food, but it must be considered that some- “thing depends upon the fmount of laber performed, as well as the diges- | tive capacity and appetite of the ani- mal. A Butter Hint.” Farmers who receive circulars con- faining offers of preservatives of milk and cream, or of méthods of doubling the amount of butter from. the milk, should consider such propositions very carefully. Butter is made. from the cream only, and the proportion of but- ter obtained depends upon thé amount of butter fat in the milk—the fat being in the cream. It is impossible to get something for nothing, and an§ product devised by the use of speci@#l agents is simply not butter, buf edagulated milk, the price of which in market will be less than that of pure milk, Celery in Your Back Yard. Vacant ground about tle garden or back yard of the home may be utilized profitably in this way, with but little labor. Ground that has been used for onions, early potatoes, carly beans or some such crop may be planted to cel- ery late in the season, if good, strong plants are used. Clear the ground, plow or dig as deeply as possible and pulverize well. Mark out deeply in rows three and one-half feet apart. Fill half full of well rotted fertilizer, and harrow until the ground is almost level. Set the plants in this furrow, using a line to get the rows straight. —Indianapolis Sun. : Losing Animals, No animal can remain at a standstill without loss to its owner. If an animal is not gaining, then the food and labor are thrown away. If an animal loses only a pound in weight, then the farmer not only suffers a loss of that which:he once had, but must incur ad- ditional expense to regain that one pound; but the time lost cannot be re- covered. These facts show the im- portance of keeping the stock in good condition, and” having each -animal make an increase daily. When there is a falling off in the weight or the yield of milk is reduced the cause should be sought, and if an error has occurred, or there is fault in the man- agement, a change should be made for the better without delay. For Good Hay. The mowing of thegmeadow for hay deprives the soil of the elements of fertility, and the same occurs when the cattle are allowed to graze on it. Every pound of meat and milk sent to market carries in its composition the riches of the meadow, and though the process may be a slow one, yet a time is sure to come when the grass will be less nutritious and the growth less rapid. Then will the cattle use only that which is the most succulent and nourishing, leaving the more’ unde- sirable grasses to ‘take possession, along: ivith weeds, until ‘finally the meéadew ‘must he.plowed and seceded down, in order to change the variety of food produced by it. It then fhils fo produce, sufficient green food and it yields sparingly of hay. .! By-Products For Stock. Tt is assumed that the reader is not the kind of a faxmer who sells all of the produce on the farm and uses the unsalable portion on his own table. People who do this are not getting from farm life what they should. There i$ no ‘goqd Téason why the farmer's table should mot contain the best his farm ¢produces. He is entitled to it, and so is his family. On every farm there is a quantity of green vegetables which are too often thrown on the re- fuse heap when they should be fed to the stock. Fowls or swine that confined will welcome the sreen tops of vegetables, and some kinds of vegeta- blessmay be fed’teps and all. . ‘Then in the fall the potato grower has more’ or less unsalable tubers which might be fed to cowsi¥e advan- tage if fed in connection with oil meal or other nitrogenous food. The wheat grower has an opportunity to obtain an abundance of wheat screenings which could be ‘fed to young ‘pigs if first ground, to their advantage. Learn to use the wast products of the farm in- telligently and you will be surprised to see what you can accomplish with them. a 3 Feed Chicks Skim Milk, Time was wlien a separator was con- sidered a luxury not to be thought of unless one had. a large herd of cows. Now a ‘good separator can be had as low as $50, and it will pay for itself in ‘many ways. It will enable one to obtain a greater amount of butter fat from the miik than by the old methods of hand skimming. and it will give one a supply of fresh skim milk which may be used to advantage for feeding pur- poses. Duping the winter we use skim milk in abundance for the laying hens, but when. we have several hundred chicks in the Spring, as is’ frequently the case, the skim milk goes largely to them. Qur plan is to give the chieks a very light feeding of grain early in the are | morning before they are allowed {o go the range; at noon they are given all the skim milk they will drink, and then, after an afternoon ‘on the range, they have quite 2 heavy grain feed to go to bed on.” Wefind they grow quick- ly under this treatment and are rarely troubled with The skim milk can be fed'to calves to advantage if it is not desired to feed it to chicks, and if the milk is clean and fresh they will thrive on if, especially if some bran is mixed with it. Selecting the Cows. The ability to utilize food and con- vert it profitably into milk and butter is a quality of cows that varies with individuals. Among both ordinary dairy cows and cows of pure breeds 1 the variation .in this respect is quite remarkable, as illus{rated to a marked degree in the study of the herd owned by the Connecticut Agricultural Col- lege, that was made during the year 1898. According to this study, the cow with the best record produced during the year 509 pounds of butter, at a profit of $42.82; while during the same time the cow with the poorest record produced 172 pounds of butter, at a loss of $4.09. The variations in. the amount -of butter and milk produced by individual cows in this herd are not exceptional. The records of station herds and of hundreds of private herds where individual records have been kept show variations fully as great as these. ] It is plainly evident that success in dairying depends very much upon the productive capacity of the individual cows that make up the herd. .A very practicable way to improve the herd and increase the average productive capacity is to dispense with, all the eows which the scales and tlie Babcock test together prove to be unprofitable. It would be pretty safe to assert that twenty cows selected in this way for their high and economical productive capacity, would be more profitable than twenty-five, and . possibly. even thirty cows, selected in the ordinary random method of making up a herd.— \[assachusetts Ploughman, Gooseberries a Paying Crop. ‘he gooseberry is a good seller. It is tough, hardy and goes in most any market. I raised two hundred bush- els last year; eighteen quarts growing on one bush, and they brought from ten to fourteen cents per quart. If going to take up one branch of small fruit calture I should recommend gooseberries. They are casy to pick; one woman picked 104 quarts in seven hours. Xor picking I pay one cent per quart for gooseberries, while for raspberries I double it and offer as an inducement to remain with me for the season a quarter of a cent extra, which almost always keeps them. For gooseberry worms London pur- ple is most efficacious. Place one pound in a gallon jug, pour on two quarts of boiling water, stir and fill with cold water. Place in a tin corn can about one inch of this mixture, add to it three and a half gallons of water and spray for worms of which there are two crops during the season. When you see the first hole eaten in a leaf apply the spray. ' The last brood will not be very numerous, Gooseberries and currants should be set deep to grow good roots and bear well. New roots are white. Currants will grow from cuttings, but goose- berries must be laid down and rooted. Both should be pruned every year, the old wood being cut out; the new ‘is bright and should remain. The best time té pruie is in the fall, after which the bushes should be tied up. Spray- ‘ing with bordeaux mixture will pre- vent rust, which sometimes affects the gooseberry. Fhe. best variety is the Dowaninrg. The Boston currant market demands Fry's Prolific, a red variety: while the New York prefers the white which is the sweeter. . Currants thoroughly mashed and mixed with sugar, pound for pound, sealed up cold and uncooked, will keep until needed for the table, Currants are a fruit much wanted at the seca- shore.—A. A. Eastman, in the Amer- ican Cultivator. Farm Notes. (ose inbreeding is a short cit to tem- porary success. A poor appetite in an animal sug- gests some weakness. All things considered, early plowing is best for fall wheat. Hogs may be fed corn as soon as the grain begins to harden. All animals require a variety in their food in order to make the best gains. A fattened old cow has a larger pro- portion of waste than a young animal. Set the milk as quickly as possible alter miiking to get perfect rising of the cream. - A When fed dry shelled corn is. more economical than corn meal to feed to fattening hogs. "Fo obtain the best results the farm work must be done in the best manner and at the propér time. In growing fruit for market, it is of great advantage to have varieties of fruit that will keep long and Dear transportation well.
