topicm of iWTKnrjrr relative
TO FAKM AMD GARDE*.
Feeding O rowing Pigs.
The hog has usually b.-en fed as if he
were capable of digesting all that could
be crammed into h:s stomach, and be has
been treated si if he were as hardy as a
wild boar, and could endure extremes of
heat, cold, filth and neglect. New, the
hog can only digest a certain amount of
food within a given time, and whaa he
has eaten too much he suffers in conse
quence, sod especially if the food is of a
kind not adapted to hia requirement. His
digestive organs can be disarranged as
easily as ran those of the horse, and filth
taken into the system will cause him to
become diseased the same ai ia peculiar
to humans. The accepted theory re
garding cholera now is that it is a form
of typhoid fever, and if this is true there
i* but one conclusion to arrive at, which
is that tilth is at the bottom of the diffi-
I culty. 'I he eating of filth is bad enough,
but the drinking of filthy water ia worse,
as the animal is then thirsty, and the
filth, be.ng in a soluble condition, is at
1 once carri and to every portion of the body.
The supposition that the kidneys cause
the impurities to be eliminated is true
only when the animal is in a healthy con
dition. If the surroundings are filthy,
the pores of the body will be closed.
If, in feeding hogs, the farmer will
abandon the practice of attempting to
keep them in an excessively fat condi
tion while they are growing he will find
that they will entail less labor of man
agement and be more thrifty, while the
excellent health in which he will find
them when ready for being fattened will
enable them to take on more fat and at
less cost than to keep them fat the whole
year. All that is required with growing
pigs is to afford them a variety of food
and to keep their quarters clean. Above
all give them as much fresh water as they
can drink. If slop is fed, place it in a
trough, where it will be eaten up clean,
instead of being scattered about to fer
ment. Slop is not really filthy food. It
is only when it is in a state of decom
position and filled with disease germs
that it becomes injurious; but to compel
pigs to eat where they have deposited
manure, or to drink water that has been
impregnated with the same, will cause
disease to break out in any herd.
Grafting Fruit Trees.
It is important, writes an Indiana Ag
riculturist, to cut scions of last year’s
growth, having well-developed healthy
buds, from healthy trees of the host strain
of each variety desired, before the buds
swell. I have found It best to tie them
in bundles not ovor two inches in diame
ter, plainly labeled and packed in fresh
sawdust just cut from green hard wood
limber. Kept in a cold cellar they are
food to use until tho middle of Juno.
inst year I set grafts Jane 21id that did
well. I also cut grafts Juno 2d from one
tree and set in another near bv. five out
of six growing well. The f llowing is
the best gratng wax: Resin, four pounds:
beeswax, one and a quarter pounds; raw
I linseed oil, one pint; melt in a kettle
over a slow firo. Then pour into a tub
of cold water, and with hands well
grensed work tho whole together until
well mixed. I have found it convenient
to work it into about half-pound halls.
These, if wrapped in good manila paper,
will koop good, rendy for use, for years.
It is also a good salve for wounds or
bruises.
To cut limbs off, I use a twelvc-inch
bladc mitre saw, twelve teeth to the inch,
each filed sharp to cut oither way. Th's
is usod left or right-handed, and has a
pin in tho handio which is often con
venient to hang it by.
For carrying wax,'a piece of tallow to
greese the Lands while handling it facili
tates the business. The ingrafter needs
a small hammer and grafting chisel, a
blade something like a razor, of best
steel, the handle u wedge turned on one
side. Up the troe I use an oval pail, size
nbout eight quarts, with a small partition
for tho grafts and hook on tho handio to
hang it by. I usually cut each graft with
four buds; tho luwer one about the mid
dle of tho wedge, when inserted is below
the lop of the stock, and often grows to
a go and strong limb even after a graft is
bro’ c:i o!f.
If a si ion is crookod I cut so it will
curve ii: w id or downward. For a small
tree or ihubn >t over one inch in diame
ter one graft is su iirient. All natural or
seedling t ees have two to three times as
many limb- as they should have to bear
fruit, and most orchard trees are too
thick, hence only the best limbs are
grafted, selecting those on the upper nnd
northwest sides, less on the lower sides,
to make better baiarced tops when neces
sary.
If a limb is over threo inches in diam
eter where cut oft, it will be apt to decay
before the grafts unite solid over the
top. Two inches or less is about the
right size. If the limb leans, a place is
selected that is smooth on both sides so
it will split straight, and grafts inserted
on the sides, not top and bottom, so the
outside wood of each is as near even as
possible, and top and sides of stalk, where
cut or split, perfectly wnxed over.
If the work is rightly done, with knife
blade for whittling grafts kept with a
keen razor edge, and grafts used in a few
moments after being whittled, when the
weather is dry,-every applo or pear
fraft set from April 1 to Juno 15 in
calthy tress in my locality will grow.
So also with every cherry and plum graft
set before the buds open. A tree whose
body is eight to fifteen inches in diameter
requires eight to sixteen drafts, placed
far enough apart to climb among them
for the fruit, grafting such limbs so that
those left can be removed in a few years
without injury to the tree. Top enough
should be left at all times to keep the
roots healthy.
I have climbed trees this spring where
too many grafts were inserted some years
ago, say sixty to seventy in a tree, where
twenty to twenty-five would have been
much better. These have grown to
long, slender limbs, too thick to cut
around among them. Such can never be
pruned into good ehape. The best trees
are those where no large limbs were over
out, with strong branching tops, so a
man can readily climb to all parts with
out a ladder and pick nearly every applo,
or cut any outaide scion wanted.'
Dairy Notea.
Kindness in the care of cows nnd clean
liness in the care of milk am fundamen
tal axioms in dairying.
The Dnin/men says it is an open ques
tion whether yellow skin in cows indi
cates yellow milk. It says white butter
ia not usual, however, from yellow milk.
Milk rich in fat (butter) is not necetsa
lily the most nutritious as food It is
milk rick in the nitrogenous compounds
that gives it feeding value, a point of
importance, >hether it be infants or
youug animals fed.
In advocating the necessity for feed
ing n now surplus food beyond the other
neads of the system, n correspondent of
the Fmrm*rt' iUeimt says: “It is calcn-
Infled that amrly two-third* of nil a cow
mii t* needed to eiutem her existence,
1
m 4 all tbs profit Mass trom tbs feed
Mt required for this purpose
Dow milking it done ia tho I-load of
Jonty is thus described: "Tall buckets
narrowed Mar the top with widen’d
mouths, are used. A Uoen cloth is lied
orsrthetop; thens smooth sea-shell is
poshed down in the depression to receive
the milk. The shell prevents the wear
ing of the cloth by the streams of milk.
When the milking is done the straining
is also completed.”
The causes of the snperior milk-pro
ducing or beef-producing qualifications
of certain postures are at present but im
perfectly known, though they consist
principally in favorable conditions as to
soil, situation, or herbage, or a combina
tion of thess. In order to throw light
upon the subject, the British Dairy
Farmers’ Association invite farmers to
send to its consulting botanist. Professor
Fream, specimens of the herbage of any
meadow or pasture which may have at
tracted their attention or account of some
1 special feature connected with it, and at
1 the same time to send information on
, certain points in answer to a list of ques
: tions printed on a circular now being dis
; tributed.
Asa cow has to be milked twice a day
for more than 800 days in a year, it docs
not need much extra trouble in milking
to largely reduce her value. Mauy cows
will not keep still, and the loss of time,
to say nothing of loss of milk, will make
a waste of one to three cents at every
milking. This, at a low calculation,
would make $U a year. Allowing ten
years as the usual time for milking a good
cow, it would give $l5O as the difference
in value between two equally good cows,
one an easy milker and one not. This
wipes out most of the value of average
native cows, or, in other words, a diffi
cult milker is worth absolutely nothing
as a cow, in the comparison, and can
only be made profitable by turning her
off for beef as quickly as possible.
Stingless Bees.
A corresdondent of the BeeVeepvr'*
Magazine writes: "During our stay on the
Island of Cuba we employed much time
investigation its honey flora and the
quality of honey produced by each vari
ety. On one occasion we were examining
tho flowers of a royal palm, which, stand
ing at the foot cf a rather steep hill and
ourselves at an elevation, brought the
circle of flowers within twenty feet of us.
We cou’d with our powerful field-glass
bring tho bees, so to speak, so near that
the characteristics of the different kinds
weie easily discovered. There were wisps,
ycllow-jackots, bumblebees and Italians.
But what particularly attracted our at
tention was a little insect which to our
recollection was exactly like the stingless
bee of South America, which we had seen
on one or two occasions several years ago,
and wo at once surmised they were iden
tical. After a good deal of inquiry we
finally learned th&r our surmises were
correct, and that a colony of these
delightful little insects was in posses
sion of a t.Rtive living several miles
away in the dense forests, engaged in
a primitive way in the production of
charcoal, Pedro Casanova and myself at
onco set out on horseback and arrived at
tho cabin of the Cuban just ns the sun
was going down, and to our delight found
the object of our search. The little beau
ties were located in tho section of a
hollow log about six inches in diameter,
and two feot long, suspended by a rope
ou the side wall of the cabin in a horizon
tal position. A little round hole, scarcely
a quarter of an inch ju diameter, in the
centre of one end of fiic log, formed the
on'y place of exit or entrance; the other
end was closed with what sc Jilted to be
a conglomeration of pollen, wax, resin
and some other moist and sticky mate
rial. looking iniothe entrance hole, all
we could discover Was the little white
fuzzy head of one of these insects p"cr
ing out at us in a cautious, half-cowaidly
manner. The last of these foragers wore
just returning, and it was amusing to tee
how swiftly, vet surely, they would al
ways dart from the air directly into
the little entrance hole without
ever once missing or liaviug to crawl
in, liko our ordinary bees. In all their
movements they ore as swift as lightning,
and wo had great difficulty in catching
one,and more in keeping him after being
caught. The other end of this log hive
was filled with a plug, which being with
drawn, the lady of the house took a
sharp-pointed stick, and, reaching into
the centre of the hive, perforated several
of tho largest bags; then, holding a
glass tumbler under aud slightly elevat
ing the other end of the hive, the honey
ran in a stream, and soon nearly filled
tho tumbler with a very delicious but
rather thin honey. This honey is sup
posed by the native! to po s?ss medicinal
virtues, and is sold at a nigh pi ice, some
thing like the “bumblebee honey” in
the city, with this difference: That the
former is the real honey produced by
stingless bees, while the latter, so far
as the bumblebee is concerned in its pro
duction, is a myth; but so fi.r as either
possesses any medical superiority over
ordinary honey, it must reside entirely
with the faith of the patient.
The Subscription Book Business.
“There is a great deal of money made
in books,” said a printer, “and a good
deal lost. I could name for you a half
dozen persons in Chicago who have made
from $50,000 to f200,000 in a few years
publishing or handling books for the
subscription trade. If a book ‘catches
on,’and the agents who first try it are
able to make good earnings, the thing
goes like wildfire. Agents by the hun
dred then take hold of it, and the sales
in a few months retch an enormous ag
gregate. Books which cost but forty or
fifty cents to manufacture in quantities
are sold at $ <.50 to $i to subscribers,
about oue-half of this going to the agent.
“The subscription book business has
one great advantage over the trade bus
iness. In the latter the first edition
must be published as a venture. Fre
quently the best ef judgments on the
salability of a hook will be at fault, and
in case of no sale there is an enormous
loss. The subscription publisher prints
no more books than are needed, and need
never go further than the manufacture
of a few prospectuses if the work should
fall fiat on his hands. Authors of regu
lar trade subscription books are not, as
a rule, well paid. Many of the most
sncceasful works are mere complications
or hodge-podges. hastily put together
under an attractive title and with good
printing and binding.” —Chicago Herald.

Thar* am Him rather uaiqM chib, ia
New York; that, Ridging by theil*mynt
growth, will ia li*t become quite ceie
brated On* is tfii* Thirteen dub which
meet* at dinner at 7:IS o'clock on the 13th
of each month, to disprove the popular
superstition that ooe of every thirteen
who sit down to a teltle will die before
the year is out. The club started several
year* ago with thirteen at a table, but so
popular have their dinners become by
reason of the feast of wit and wisdom,
not to say the viands provided, that at
their dinner next week at the Brigh
ton Beach hotel, Coney Island, thirteen
tables, each seating thirtef n, will be pro
vided. There are thirteen courses on the
menu, thirteen at table, thirteen speeches
made, and the number is introduced in
every possible way and shape. Not be
ing able to make the menu card in the
shape of the numeral, the suggestive
form of a coffin is adopted. The necrol
ogy of the club effectually explodes the
theory of the fatality of the number and
the club is gaining recruits every dinner,
and will have a headquarters and take its
place among social clubs next season.
The other club ia tie Twilight club,
which meets at dinner every fortnight,
and after the cloth hits been removed dis
cusses the lcadiug questions of the day,
pro and con., according to the predilec
tions of the speakers, who are generally
selected because they are known to be
antagonistic. The antagonism of the
speakers prevents the clob from ever be
ing a mutual admiration society, and con
sequently its dinners have become very
attractive to a large claiss who enjoy this
species of intellectual sparing. The
other club is least known of the three;
indeed, though with a larger member
ship than either, little is known of it out
side of its members. It is known as the
Peanut club, and the badge of member
ship—a peanut—must be worn on every
occasion as an ornament or amulet, in
metal, jewelry or carved wood. Any
member accosting another who cannot
display the badge can call on him for a
dinner for as many of the club as he likes.
It may be the call may be made in the
middle of the night and the challenged
party aroused from his slumbers; or it
may be that the demand may be made in
the breakers of Coney Island or Long
Branch—no matter when or where, if the
counterfeit peanut is not produced the
penalty is established. The result is that
many of the members carry their emblem
of membership attached to a string
around the neck, and wear it night and
day. The gentleman who was aroused
from his slumbers wore his this way.
The Hon. Jacob Hess, of the subway
commission, was accosted the other day
by a follow member in the surf at Long
Branch, but he was prepared, having the
golden peanut that generally dangles
from his watch chain in his mouth. If
the challenging party cannot produce the
emblem if required by one who has, he is
called on to pay the penalty, and in this
case it took the form of a very elaborate
dinneratthe West End hotel. Mallahan,
the trainer and backer of Herald, the
new aspirant for fistic honors, tucked
his ivory peanut into his car one night
while acting as master of ceremonies at a
fistic gathering, and so was not caught
when Peters, the wine merchant, chal
lenged him. The emblem of the club is
becoming common in all circles. The
imitation is generally in gold and worn
as a watch charm.
There is quite an excitement among the
dudes in the Knickerbocker because
some tradesman has obtained a list of the
members and forwarded them to the club
address in his business circular. It is
against the rule in the club that its letter
boxes should bo used for advertising
purposes, and generally all advertising
circulars are destroyed by the wholesale;
but in this ease the wily tradesman used
square tinted envelopes, such as lad ice
generally use, and the superscription
was in slender, tall, fashionable, feminine
chirography, and the disappointment of
the receivers may have heightened their
sense of club etiquette.— Conetitution.
Sweets For the Sweet
