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. Time*. 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.— Exchange. 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. ltatlon for IWUk. 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.

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.
