There is no stock so beneficial to land as sheep, and for cleaning aud fertilizing pur poses alone it will pay to keep a small flock of sheep. In speaking of sheep restoring the fertility of land the Secretary of the Massa chusetts State Board of Agriculture says: “The problem hardest for the New Eng land farmer to solve is how to keep up the fertility of pastures. W here cows are kept on lands rough with stone and not described by the term arable, there is a constant de terioration; weeds and bushes usurp the land and the fanner continually goes to the institutes with the unanswered question: How shall we keep up our pastures! “Sheep will restore the worst of these worn-out ranges to a better than its original fertility; the stones will remain, of course; but if bushes are cut sheep will prevent their growth, briars and blackberry bushes, if mowed, will disappear from the soil, to gether with all varieties of noxious weeds. Nutritious grasses will take their places and the farmer will soon realize the truth of the Spanish saying that ‘the sheep has a golden hoof.’ But the old pasture must he sheep tight, because they do not onjoy the priva tion incident to renovating old pastures, and will naturally seek fresher and more agreeable ranges. If there is no wall a wire picket fence is the best for sheep. Then feed your sheep every day about half a pint of cotton-seed meal each, or you may feed a pint of oats. “When there is help enough on the farm sheep may be pastured to great advantage by hurdling them at night in a small space, in movable hurdles and feeding them inside * the hurdles, keeping them there all night. If cotton seed is fed its whole cost will be returned in manure, the foul growth will be absolutely destroyed and dogs will not mo lest the sheep. The renovation, or rather the creation, of pasture in such a case is positive. It will take the time of two men to go to the pasture at evening and move the hurdle. The sheep accustomed to be fed with grain will not be scattered and will not have to be collected or driven to the hurdles; indeed they will crowd upon the shepherds, and if the flock is large the hardest of the work will be to keep them out of the wav until the hurdles are set. A collie dog can be trained by any one to help in this part of the work. Your hurdles can be set for ground enough so that they need not be moved for several days, and will in that time require only one man to let the Sheep out and call them in at night. This is an advantage at the time of turning rams into the flock, because it is always best to take the ram away by day, feed him with oats in a close place and lead him back to the hurdling ewes at night,” Level and Hill Country. It has been for many years a disputed question, says the Missouri Republican, whether level or hill culture was better for growing crops, but as there are so many differences in soils while the modes required for crops of all kinds are unlike, the experi ence of each farmer on his own soil can alone decide the matter. The fact is, that under certain conditions, either mode may be better than the other. On soils that are damp, with subsoils composed of stiff clay, the hilling system may perhaps be prefera ble; but where the soil is well underdrained or the ground rolling, the level system may be the more suitable. Cultivation of the soil is intended not only to clear off the grass and weeds, but also to assist the growing plants to obtain and retain the greatest amount of heat and moisture, as well as to afford more feed to the roots. Something also depends upon the kind of manure and fertilizer used, and upon the quantity ap plied. In an experiment tried by an agri cultural journal, potatoes were grown at the rate of 1,000 bushels per acre, but the fertilizer used was in sufficient quantity to supply all the requirements of the crop. The level cultivation was pxacticod in grow - ing the crop, and it is probable that a com plete failure would have been the result had the hilling system been followed, for the reason that in order to dissolve so large an amount of mineral fertilizer plenty of moist uve was necessary, which was retained by the field being level. By cultivating the entire service the fine earth served as a cov ering or mulch, thereby preventing evapo ration, as capillary atti'aetion drew the moisture up from below; the connection, however, being broken where the soil was stirred. Hill cultivation would not only have required the hoe to a certain extent, but would have caused the exposure of a larger surface to the air, producing greater evaporation. Corn growers are awai'a that the roots of growing corn extend in every direction and feed as near the surface as possible, and for this reason many farmers Uhorlr their corn iu the rows and cultivate in both directions, the desire being not to stir the soil deeply, but to keep the surface fine. But on stiff, wet soils hill cultivation is sometimes necessary, or the young corn will be injured from heavy x-ains. All soils that have been well tiled with drain tile will permit of level culture, as the most tena cious soils are pulverized by the air and heat if well drained. No rule, however, can be laid down for all to follow, as hill or level culture depends entirely upon circum stances. The Farm Well. The following, from the Philadelphia Record , is well worthy of the attention of farmers. Water impregnated with disease breeding genns have no doubt caused a great deal of sickness which was thought to have sprung from other causes: The well on the farm is the source from which comes many diseases. Some wells are never cleaned. When dug they are carefully boarded over, the pumps made tight and snug, with file ground sloping away on all sides, so as to allow the surface water to flow from the opening. There is no well water that is pure. Something depends on the character of the soil. If sandy and the water will quickly disappear from the surface after a rain the well will drain tho soil for a long distance around it, and the consequence will be that a large portion of the soluble filth of the soil will find it* way into the well, although the water may appear sparkling and bright. It is contended that the soil removes all the impurities from the water; but this depends upon whether tho soil, by long-continued absorption, be not already so thoroughly sa tun ted with impurities as to refuse to take up more. But that the soil does not remove all the impurities, even from new ground where a well has been re cently dug, has been demonst atd by satu rating the surface earth at a distance from the well with kerosene oil, which gradually found its way to the well (having been washed down by the rains) and impaired its odor to the water. If the soil be of heavy clay the danger will be lessened, but on ail porous Soils the liability of pollution of the water is gi-eat. No manure heaps, privies, sinks or other receptacle for filth or refuse of any kind should be within ISO or 40 feet of the well, and the farther off the better. No matter how tight the well may be the toad will sometimes continue to get in. Many wells contain loads that die and are swallowed in the drinking water unknow ingly, under the supposition that the well is tight and “toad-proof.” Wells should be thoroughly cleaned at least once a year, and especially in the fall. For a distance of ten feet around the well the surface should be cemented, and the pump itself should be cleaned occasionally. Toads, flies, bugs, worms and even gnats will get in the water, while only a few drops of a solution from a filthy drain or sink, finding its way into the well, will carry bacteria enough to rapidly multiply and contaminate all of the water. Hoots of trees anil vines also serve as drains into the well, os they loosen the soil, and for that reason they should never be planted near the source of drinking water. Haymaking in Florida. Mi - . M. P. Arnold, of Richland, Pasco county, writes to the Florida Dispatch of his experience in making hay. It ought to encourage farmers to raise enough at least for home consumption. He says: Three years ago I enclosed two acres and a half around my house. The land was near the edge of a lake that had a white, sandy bot tom, and this enclosed land would have taken the anywhere for extreme poverty. I was determined to raise the standard of fertility of that plat of ground if I was compelled to haul on it all the leaves and muck in Pasco county. I meas ured off an acre ami on this mound I spread evenly forty big loads of leaves and ten loads of leaf-mould and pond muck. I planted cowpeas the first year, which did tolerably well, although the ground was extremely porous, for the great mass of leaves did not rot Until the following year. Tho next spring I drilled in 3,000 pounds of cotton seed meal and planted to Irish pota toes. After these were off I planted conch peas, which made a tremendous growth. This spring I planted to corn, one kernel to the hill, five feet apart. The corn produced on this acre was the admiration and aston ishment of every one who saw it. I let every sucker grow, and some hills had three suckers and the main stalk, and these all grew about 13 feet high and were as large around as Mississippi or Illinois bottom corn. The suckers made good ears. One variety of corn, called Brazilian flour corn, suckered profusely, and one particular hill had ten suckers and made 21 years. After this corn was gathered, and it turned ,#ut immense, 1 pulled up the stalks and let the crab grass grow. The leaves and muck had now become thoroughly assimilated with the soil and the way the grass grew was amazing, and this in spite of the dryest wet season ever known in Florida. IV hen ready to cut the grass stood waist high and in some places was badly lodged. In such places the grass, when drawn up, would reach to my shoulder. I never saw such grass in New York, the champion hay pro ducing State of the Union. I cut the hay myself and it made over two tons of fine hay. Did I hear someone remark that hay could not be made in Florida ? Planting Orchards. A correspondent of the Germantown (Pa.) Telegraph conveys some valuable informa tion in the following notes from his own experience: I have set out trees of every sort of fruit and a great many sorts of shade and ornamental trees in the last 40 years and have never yet failed. But I always do one thing which I never saw recommended. If a tree is set in the ground as received from the nursery tho small ends of the roots are invariably “dried dead.” Dead roots can make no new growth; consequently, unless the tree can obtain nourishment from the sap in the large roots, trunk or branches until new eyes in the roots are forced out and take new root, the tree must die at once or be greatly weakened by its efforts, and then is sure to die upon any great strain upon it from drought or cold. But if every root is trimmed off to sound live wood it at once becomes a cutting, with numerous ends to callous over and form a bunch of new nnd most vigorous roots. When this is done the tree scarcely falters in its growth. In cases where trees have no small roots and only three or four large ones this plan is sure to make them live. I never stake a tree. I prefer to cut in the top till the wind has no hold on it, but mainly to prevent an exuberant top from demanding more sap than the roots can supply the first year. All plants down to strawberry plants must lie root pruned to insure prompt growth. Always have your knife as sharp as a razor. Farm and Stock Notes. Gives the hens a variety of food. Throw them a lock of early cut hay occasionally. They seem to prefer June grass or red-top. When the comb of a fowl is large and bright colored, showing it to be full of blood anti shaking with every activity of the bird, she is m a healthy laying condition. Unclean eggs should be washed or wiped when gathered. The shells are porous, and pungent filth may penetrate and spoil the meat. Eggs for long keeping should not be washed, only wiped. When the cockerels begin to crow they should be separated from the pullets. This will prevent the disfigurement of many of the cockerels from fighting, and make the management of both easier and better. When horses are suffering from the bites of flies or stings of other insects sponge the parts that cannot be protected by nets with water in which insect powder has been mixed, a tabiespoonful to two gallons of water. To prevent the formation of long tap roots and get a large number of small roots on plants raised in boxes use a shallow seed-bed, not over two inches of loam in the boxes. This dries out quickly, and care should be taken to keep it moist. It has been found that peach trees grow ing near tho house, says A. M. Purdy, where dish and wash water are thrown out, are long lived, and free from worms and disease. A hint can be taken from this, showing that salt and alkali are the valuable factors. The Texas Live Stock Journal says the general average in shrinkage of a steer go ing front Texas to Chicago is 100 pounds. The State furnishes an average of 400,000 steers, which makes a shrinkage of 40,000,- 000 pounds, or, as the average weight of a steer is 850 pounds, 47,559 head. A writer advises against the planting of fruit trees, esi>erial!y poaches,near together, saying that from 20 to 22 feot is not too far apart. Ho claims the wider planting makes better shaped trees, with better ac cess of air and sunshine, while the tree has greater area from which to draw root sup plies. Pigs must lie cared for in bad weather, or else you can't expect much of them. They should have warm, dry beds to steep in: if you cannot get. anything better good dry Straw will do to make their beds of, but leaves are much better. Sleeping in stijaw, THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1887. especially if the straw be wet, will give them the mange. Mr. N. J. Shepherd, of Eldon, Mo., a ver satile writer for the press, tells the Swine Breeders' Journal that he has never been able to see that there has been any gain in keeping tbe growing or stock hogs fat. The only time that it is necessary to have the hogs fat is when they are rearly to market. It is not a good plan to stiut. the hogs—this is worse than keeping them too fat; both ex tremes should be avoided with breeding or growing pigs or hogs. From careful experiments the late Mr. Mechi discovered that plants slightly wa tered every day often perish, and always become dwarfed, whereas a good soaking given twice a week almost invariably proves beneficial. There is no doubt that a thorough soaking of the ground two or three times a week is much better than the same amount of water applied in drib lets sufficient to wet the upper surface only and not tho earth contiguous to the roots. At this season of the year the air, is full of all sorts of microscopic life, the germs of which are floating and settling everywhere. They are most plentiful in stables, barn yards, sheds, etc., and wherever there is fermenting and decaying matter. If the cows be milked in such places microbes will be inhaled by the cows and enter into the general circulation, and thence into the milk, and they w’ill also fall into the milk jiails and cans, aud contaminate milk by direct contact. When sowed corn begins to turn yellow from being sown too thickly it ceases to ac quire any additional value. Not only does growth cease, but the plant becomes watery and insipid. Cows will eat it, but their milk will shrink as compared with even fair pasture. To give really nutritious stalks sowed or crilled corn should have room enough to grow in. so that most of the stalks would at least set a nubbin. When this is the case there is a great amount of sweet in the stalk. The Michigan Farmer says: “A Mis souri farmer has discovered anew remedy or exterminator for tbe army worm. The worms attacked a 70-acre clover-field, charging by battalions and brigades. He turned a drove of 150 swine into the field, confining them to the part on which the worms hail appeared, and was delighted to find that the hogs ate the worms with apparent relish, and finally com pletely annihilated them. But, great Scott! who would eat pork make from such swine?” Household. Quince Cheese is marmalade boiled down very thick and packed into small pots. It will turn out as firm as cheese and can be cut in slices for luncheon or tea. A Peach Betty.— Remove the skins of the peaches. Put them whole, with layers of bread crumbs and sugar, in a baking tin; brown the top and serve with a sweet or sharp hot butter sauce. Tomato Preserves.— Scald and peel per fectly ripe tomatoes, prick with a needle, add equal weight of sugar and let stand overnight; then pour off the juice and boil thick; add the tomatoes and cook until transparent. Mustard Pickles.—Half a peck of small cucumbers, half a peck of green string 1 >eans, one quart of green peppers, two quarts of small onions. Cut all in small pieces; put cucumbers and beans in a strong brine for 24 hourj; remove from brine and pour on two pounds of ground mustard mixed with one pint of sweet oil and three quarts of vinegar. Pickled Onions.— Take off the outer skin of small white onions; let them lie in salt and water for a week, changing it daily; then put them in a jar and pour over them boiling salt and water; cover them closely; drain off the pickle when cold. Put the onions in wide-mouthed bottles aud fill them up with strong vinegar, putting in a little sliced ginger; cork the bottles closely. Spiced Grapes. —To every pound of fruit allow one-half pound of sugar, one pint of vinegar, two tablespoonfuis of cinnamon and cloves, and one tablespoonful of allspice. Cook pulp and skin separately, skins until tender and pulp until soft, and seed by run ning through the colander. Put pulp and skins together, add vinegar, sugar and spices (the latter in a bag), and cook until of right consistency. Sliced Cucumber Pickle.—Two dozen large cucumbers, sliced and boiled in vine gar enough to cover them one hour; set aside in hot vinegar. To each gallon of cold vinegar: One pound of sugar, one ta blespoontu! of cinnamon, one tablespoonful each of ginger, black pepper, celery seed, mace, turmeric, horseradish, scraped garlic. sliced; one teaspoon ful of allspice, mace and cloves; one-half teaspoonful of cayenne pepper. Put in tho cucumbers and stew two hours. Old Dominion Sauce.— Bring the juice poured off from a can of peaches to a boil ing point. Dissolve one tablespoonful of corn starch in half a teacupful cold water, add to juice and boil two mi nutes; then add a small teacupful of sugar and, if wine be not ob jected to, one glass of sherry or Madeira. The sauce may he strained but does not re quire it. In all cases where wine is men tioned as flavoring it is, of course, optional, many persons regarding its use as sinful. Education or conviction will govern here as elsewhere. In most rules where wine is specified as flavoring the juice aiid grated rind Of a lemon will be, so far as sweet sauces are concerned, a pleasant substi tute. Popular Science. When you have to repair your boiler fur nace, says the Stationary Engineer, and cannot get any fire-clay, take common earth mixed with water in which you have dissolved a little rock or other salt; use the same as fire-clay—the furnace will last fully as long. Steam occupies 1728 times as much space as water; that is, j cubic inch pf water will make 1723 cubic inches of steam at atmos pheric pressure. It may, however, be eom presseef into a space of 3 cubic inches, and will then Lave the pressure of 3840 pounds to the square inch. It is stated that sound and excellent brass castings will result if powdered glass !>e stirred into melted brass when in the cruci bles. The glass flux collects all impurities which riso to the top and can be skimmed off, impurities which otherwise would be poured into the mold with the metal. It lias lieen ascertained that the horse power required to run a machine shop in which 100 men were employed was 13.1 05, of which 00.51-horse power was required to run the shafting, blowers and such things as were not machine tools, leaving 68.34- horse power to run the machine tools or a trifle less than 1 -horse power for ten moil. Dr. Blache states in the Bulletin Thera peutic that in chronic and simple bronchitis petroleum in doses of a teaspoonful before meals produces satisfactory results. In phthisis the experiment*! have not yet been long enough continued to ascertain whether the results are permanently beneficial, but it diminishes the expectoration, which also loses its purulent character. An English inventor proposes to improve, by condensation nnd hardening, the barrels of small arms, tubes and the like in their finished state: this to tie accomplished by subjecting them to a pressure of 500 or more tons while they are immersed in water in a strong vessel, the operation being performed by hydraulic pressure caused by a heavy hammer falling on a pistou which closes said vessel. Though electrical storage batteries have attracted attention only within the past seven years, the discovery of tho principle is a-s old as the century, Gautherot having first noticed in 1801 that platinum or silver wires gave off a current after having boon disconnected from a voltaic battery with which they had been used for decomposing saline water. The first secondary celi of Plante was made in 1800. Children's Shoes at sl.
