FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
rtioppinc Cornstalks.
The saving in handling of manure and
of the liquid part of the manure itself
will alone pay for cutting up stalks of
corn before feeding. It is not true that
cattle can be made to eat the coarser
part of the stalks except by being
starved to it, and this is more expensive
than better feeding. But the uneaten
butts make excellent bedding, absorb¬
ing and holding the liquid excrement
better than will straw. To be done
economically, however, the cutting up
of cornstalks should be done with horse¬
power or steam. As most farmers have
idle horses at this season, a horse-power
with conveniences for cutting stalks or
straw, grinding coarse grain and sawing
wood is a very handy thing to have on
the premises. By putting the power
under shelter much of this work may be
done in stormy weather when out-of
door jobs are impracticable.
Water for Stock*
It is evidently a matter of economy to
supply stock with water at a moderate
temperature and frequently. Cows will
drink three times a day; horses as fre¬
quently; and sheep will sip a little from
a trough of flowing water from a spring
several times in the day. This is neces¬
sary for the exercise of digestive func¬
tions, and to enable the animal to get all
the nutriment possible from its food.
How this supply is to be provided is a
matter for each farmer to consider for
himself where there is a good spring at a
temperature of 50 degrees through the
winter; this meets all the needs of the
case if ample water troughs are provided,
so that one vicious master animal may
not stand in front ot the single trough
and keep all the other animals from
drinking. A good well is the next best
mode of supply, but a sufficient number
of troughs, so that all the cattle can
drink, is indispensable. This is usually
the weak and unsatisfactory point in the
water arrangements of the farm. — N. Y.

Oil the Harnett.
Two brothers in Ohio at the same
time bought each a set of farm harness,
made by me, says the correspondent of
an exchange, from the same lot of
leather. One oiled his harness each
spring and fall and kept it sound and
pliable for ten or more years. The other
never oiled his, but used it in wet and
mud, and in three years it was hard and
dry, and cracked and ripped, so as to
be nearly worthless. For all this, of
course, he blamed tho harness maker.
Never oil a harness when dry.
Never hang it in the sun to dry or for
the oil to strike in.
Some leisure day iu spring, fall, or
winter take the harness into the cellar
or some damp place; take all apart, and
soak thoroughly in warm water. Then
wash off all dirt and gum, and when
nearly dry on outside put on with swab
or brush a heavy coat of oil, either best
tanner’s oil or best neat’s-foot oil, xvith
just enough lamp black to color it well.
Lay it all in a pile in the shade till the
oil soaks in. If very dry and hard it
will pay to put on a second coat. When
well soaked in take castile soapsuds and
a coarse rag and wash it well. This
closes the pores, gives it a gloss and
prevents cracking. If this is properly
done twice a year the harness will keep
nice as new and add one-half to the
durability.
Improve the Sheep Pasture.
Few persons seem to think that it is
necessary or even advisable to improve a
sheep pasture. They believe these animals
can “pick up a living” on land where
any kind of vegetation grow. How to
keep sheep without any cost is a problem
that many persons have been trying to
solve. Volumes have been written to
prove that sheep will live for months
without water, providing they are in a
region’where there are heavy dews. Few
sheep-raisers are at the trouble and ex¬
pense of sinking wells and putting in
pumps operated by wind-power for the
purpose of raisi ng water for the flocks.
If there is a creek or pool within a half
mile they will oblige the sheep to go to
it to obtain drink. Some think that
that they should be satisfied with the
moisture supplied by the dew, ns hum¬
ming-birds are. Every few months
some one “rushes into print” to declare
that sheep will live for years without
salt. The straw of wheat, barley, rye,
and flax is thought to be good enough
food for sheep during th? winter. They
advocate allowing them to remain on a
rocky pasture till the frost kills and the
snow covers the grass, and they return
them to this place early in the spring, for
fear that the hay will not “hold out”
for the cattle and horses. During all
the year they complain that “the bottom
has fallen out” of the wool business.—

Exp.rinuuti With KertUlzar*
No man in England has done more
for tho advancement of practical knowl¬
edge in agriculture than Dr. Lawcs of
Ruthamstead. Few men have done as
much anywhere. To show something of
the critical and painstaking elaboration
he bestows on apparently simple pro¬
cesses, the following will be interesting:
“In the case of oxen, the food and
litter, sometimes w.th an acid absorbent,
were weighed, sampled and analyzed.
The animals were fed in boxes, for peri¬
ods of from five to nine weeks, aud the
total feces produced were well mixed,
weighed, sampled, and analyzed. The
constituents determined in the food and
litter on the one hand, and in the feces
on the other, were dry matter, ash and
nitrogen. In the case of sheep no litter
was used. The animals were kept in
lots of fire, on rafters, through which,
with little loss, the solid and liquid ex¬
creta passed onto a sheet zinc flooring at
such an incline that the liquid drained
off at once into carboys containing acid,
the solid matter was removed two !
three times daily, and also mixed i
acid. The constituents determined
. the , food , , and manure were dry , matter,
matter, sometimes woody fibre,
and nitrogen. In the case of pigs, indi
vidual male animals were experimented
upon, each for periods of three, five, or
ten , days , only. , E „ tc , i an a was __ p f i
%
in a frame, preventing it from turning
round, and having a zinc bottom, with
an outlet for the liquid to run into a hot
tie, and it was watched night and day,
and the voidings carefully collected as
soon as passed, which could easily be
done, as the animal never passed either
feces or urine without getting up, and
in getting up he rang a bell, and so at¬
tracted the notice of the attendant. The
constituents determined were: In the
food and feces,dry matter, ash, and nitro¬
gen, and in the urine, dry matter, as f l »
nitrogen, and urea. )»
This may seem to be quite unnecessary
to some persons. Not so. Experimen¬
tation to reach practical results mu-t be
critical. Once obtained, the farmers ea
apply them practically in the saving of
manure with a view to reach economy in
the application. And since the liquid
portions are the most valuable, particu¬
lar pains should be taken to save all
such, that no part may lie lost.

We all want a cow to ilo her best,
What is her best? Is it to consume
nearly |1 worth, or even $1 worth of food
a day to secure an increase of a few ounces
of butter? No. Should we not consider
her as doing her best when she is fed
economically enough to enable her to
hold her own and give most profit to her
owner? But cows differ in so many
ways that no universal ration can be re¬
commended, not even one proportioned
to the live weight. When upon grass or
good hay they may vary the amount of
what they eat according to the demands
of the system, but as it is well known
that while for a deer or wild cow the
varied herbage of the hillside may be a
perfect ration, for a cow bred for 1,000
years to more milk and butter than any
natural cow gives to her calf the ration
of grass alone is not sufficient to supply
all the wants of a cow giving a large
quantity of rich milk. It should be
supplemented by grain and phosphetic
salts.
After giving the subject considerable
thought, says a writer on agricultural
topics: I have come to think that 1 1-2
per cent of a cow’s live weight may al¬
ways be safely given to a healthy cow,
provided one-third of it be bran. We
need bran for the phosphates. Thus a
1,000-pound cow would receive daily
ten pounds of rich grain feed (say equal
parts corn-meal, ground oats, and pea
meal) and five pounds of bran. Sao
would cat less grain, but would proba¬
bly produce greater value in quantity of
butter, enough to pay for the additional
feed, and more too. It is certain that
in testing cows to show their value as
economical milk and butter producers we
do not want to force them or to train
them to eat more than they can perfectly
digest.
The enormous tests made by some
Jersey breeders have done injury to the
breeds by unsettling the faith of some
breeders in tests, and causing other
people to feel that phenomenal tests
were the only ones to strive for. Hence,
as they will not take the risk of high
feeding of their cows, they make no
tests at all. The t . grass-only” tests
have, however, been numerous, and some
of , them excellent. ,, . 1 he most .... satisfactory
tests have been made with grass aud a
few quarts of meal or bran, much as J
have indicated.

What are we to infer from such circ.um
stances! Have shrewd insurance men, as well
as 01 her shrewd business men, found the
secret answer to the inquiry? proclaiming, Is it possible
that our columns have been in
the form of advertisements, what has proved by
a blessing in disguise to milli<ins, and yet
many ignored as an advertisement?
In onr files.we find‘
testimonials for v\ arner s sate cure, no two
alike, which could nor. exist except upon a
j | basis under of guarantee truth; indeed, of *5,000 they to are published who
a any one
wih disprove their correctness and this oiler
has been standing, we are told, for more
tban f our vrar s.
Undoubtedly this article, which is simply
dealing out justice, will be considered as an
advertisement and be rejected by many as
j such.
W# have not space nor time to discuss the
proposition that a poor thing could remedy not suc- has
ceed to the extent that this great
succeeded,could not become so popular with¬
out merit even if pushed by a Vanderbilt or
an Astor.
Hence we take the liberty of telling our
friends that it is a duty that they owe to
themselves to investigate the matter aud re¬
flect carefully, for the statements of published entire
are subject to the refutation refuted J;he the
world. None have them; on eon

I them and proved them true, and in believing
have found the highest measure of satisfac

A Lost Industry.
Jay Gould, the railroad magnate, takes
pleasure in letting the world know that
twenty-five years ago he earned money
by honest industry, making noon marks
for farmers. Work of that kind done
only a quarter of a century ago indicates
what a short way in time we are removed
from the use of crude, ancient devices.
It is only within half a century that the
admirable mechanical methods of Ameri¬
can clock-makers have brought the price
of time pieces so low that it would not
pay to go round offering to make noon
marks. The noon mark was an humble
brother of the sun dial, which was a
crude method of indicating time com¬
pared to the cheapest modern time piece; in¬
yet the dial was considered Babylonians a great
vention in its day, and the
were honored for originating such a boon
to mankind. The sun dial might have
still remained the leading rural time in¬
dicator hut for the persistence of Con¬
necticut clock-makers in underselling the
world. When they succeeded, by the 111 -
terchangeable stamping process ot manu¬
facture,'in twenty-five finishing cents serviceable each, the clock oc
w orks for
eupatiou that gave Jay Gould his finan
cial start was gone forever.
