AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. The Field, Farm and Garden. Wo solicit articles for this department. The name of tire writer should accompany the letter or article, not necessarily for pub lication, hut as an evidence of good faith. Farming 1 That Does Not Pay Mr\ James I. Baird,writing to the Indiana farmer, says a very prevalent but errone ous idea exists among cultivators of the soil to the effect that progressive farming, in the main, is to spread widely over ground, covering many hills and dales, with but secondary concern how its fertility is to be preserved, or improved, or how to make the jnost out of the soil while it is passing away. It is this spreading-over-ground manner of farming that is the cause, the chief cause, of so many prematurely wornout farms. Too many acres badly cultivated is as ex hausting to the soil as the drain upon it by the crops themselves. Imperfect cultiva tion is shallow plowing, want of rest or a rotation of crops, green manuring and more of the products fed to stock on the farm and returned to the soil in the form of manures. The suu exhales, the wind dissipates and the fains wash away a large per cent, of the fertility at best, and where farms are culti vated just enough, as it were, to keep them well exposed to these influences, it can but increase the loss of fertility. Borne weeks ago the writer visited a large farm that only thirty years ago lay buried in primeval forests, and though it lies well and was once very fertile, it is to-day :;carcely worth cultivating—literally “run down.” The process of shallow plowing, m opping one product without change, pas turing closelj 1 , stock mostly sold off from the farm, with but little, if any, of the pro ducts fed on it, or returned to it, is what did the work for it. And the present crop of corn growing on it is as sickly and faded as Byron's “sere and yellow leaf ” It won’t pay for its cultivation. This farm and its treatment is only one instance of many farms on which the manner of farming is practiced throughout the country. Another instance just the reverse of the foregoing is given to show how a farm may be kept up or may be restored when down. The farm contains about 50 acres embo somed among high hills, with deep diverg ing dales surrounding. The soil is a thin and sandy loam. The leveler portions of the hilltop were cleared, portion after por tion; these were when cleared planted to corn, with some manure in the hill, then sown to,wheat in the fall, with some top dressing of barnyard manure; then in the spring clover and grass were sown. The clover was let remain for three or four years, till the field was needed for grain, with some pasturing; then was turned un der—often two falls in succession—then planted to corn, followed by wheat and clover and grass in the spring, as before; only now the first growth was cut and cured, and the second was pastured to some extent, after which it was turned under when desired for grain. The steep hillsides were cleared and sown in grass for pastur ing and were seldom broken save to reno vate the sward. The farmer kept conside rable stock, especially of cattle, sheep and hogs, thereby converted much forage into manure which was returned to the fields. His neighbors could not boast such fine cat tle or hogs, nor so neat, well-arranged, well-kept and healthy a farm. He raised a family on it; trebled its original value and sold it to one having more money than farming skill, and to-day the farm is almost sunken to its original sterility. Ways of Wasting Milk. The New York Tribune, in an article on the proper manner to manage a dairy farm, says; It is common to dry up cows three or months before calving. In many cases they dry up without any effort on the part of the owner. This is the habit of natives more than of thoroughbreds. The Jerseys hold onto their milk longer than any other breed and this propensity’ conies from their being milked as long as they will give any. No doubt this characteristic can be fixed by just this sort of practice continued from year to year and generation to generation. They will keep on giving milk up to the time of calving, even though the food be poor. There are several Jerseys on Kirby Homestead which have never been dry since the first calf, before they were two years old. The old-fashioned notion to milk only in the morning after cows drop off in the yield in winter is a mistake. If worth milk ing at all a cow is worth milking twice a day. She will not only give more, but the milk will be of a great deal better quality. It does not do milk any good to remain in the udder so many hours after it is secreted, and it does not do the cow any good. Just why the last milk drawd is best is unex plained. We know it is the richest, and if the reason is because it is the last secreted then the 24-hour rule of milking is a poor one in more than one sense —poor in quan tity and quality. The law of stimulation holds good in milking and, if well followed, will help to make good milkers, and, if cas ual and disregarded, it will run down the best and run out rapidly those which do not have the characteristic of production so strongly developed, 'irregularity in milk iug does more damage to cows than most persons are aware of, and the same Is true in regard to feeding. There should be as little excitement as possible, and an effort made to milk, feed, water and clean the cows at fixed and regular times. There is a great deal of sympathy between the cow’s mind and the machinery operated to fill her udder. Good care counts as much almost as good food. Green Soiling’. The Amerienn Agriculturist thinks that in the Southern States soiling can lie carried on with the greatest profit. There are seve ral crops that may be grown which are not suitable for the North. Pearl millet, teo sinte, onw|poas, millet (this thrives especially "ell), Bermuda grass (this affords the very best summer pasture and if fertilized yields an enormous quantity of feed), Festucu pratnnsis (Meadow fescue, Randall grass or Evergreen grass) grows luxuriantly and makes the best pasture; rye may often be pastured all the winter; the native wild glasses, crab grass, Elrusinr Indira, finger grass (Panicvin sanguinale), barnyard or dooryard grass {Paninuni Crusx-gulli), sprouting crab grass ( Panicvm prolifrrum), Texas millet, Panin,urn Tcxunum and the common (far too common) beggars’ ticks (fiirtens/rondosa), and the (also too com mon) beggars’ lice (Dnsnindimn nwlle), all furnish a most abundant, pasturage. The largo amount of wood pasturage, contain ing much grass of various kinds and a wealth of lea ves of young timber, more nutritive than any grass or forage plants, also affords excellent subsistence for a largo part of the early portion of the year; while for winter feeding with hay and other todder, the abundant sweet potato and cheap cotton seed mes make the Very best substitute for the Noraern roots and grain feed. Butter can be trade in the South for 10c. a pound more eaily than it can be for 20c. in the North; he markets there are far better and higher pices can be obtained than in any part of lie North excepting the “fancy” prices pail in some of the largest cities. Eggs by Weight. The flirnl Mew Yorker, in discussing the value of Ijfferent kinds of chickens as egg layers, safs: Leaving aside the fact that eggs sell :>y the dozen (which is wrong, as they shoud sell by weight), it is fair to claim tint the hen which lays the largest number of eggs may not be equal, so far as actual pnductien is concerned, to one not so prolific in number of eggs. Estimating that a len lays ten eggs to the pound, and lays 120 eggs in a year, she is not equal to the hen hat lays 100 eggs in a year weigh ing eighi eggs to the pound. It ofton hap pens that a really meritorious hen is con demned as unprofitable because she laid fewer egjs than another, when in fact she has eonvtrted more food into eggs and per formed greater servioe. If eggs were sold by weight t would be necessary only to separate the really prolific hens from the others by weighing the eggs. That eggs vary in size all well know; but there is something, to be considered in the cost. Cows are now tested for the number of pounds of milk yielded (instead of quarts) and due regard is given the relative propor tions of solid matter in the mills. But “eggs are ggs,” without regard to size of weight, an! the best hens are sacrificed at times because they are lacking in numbers though fully up to the average in quality. Both the producer and purchasers would be benefited by selling eggs according to weight. Under the present system both are some times cheated, while the real improvement of our laying hens is retarded and unsatis factory. Smoke as a Fertilizer. A correspondent of the Rural Messenger claims to have discovered anew way of making fertilizers. An old stick and mud chimney had been thrown down and the clay spread about over the ground that was afterwards planted to corn. The corn grew on the clayed land with such rankness as to set him thinking. What, caused it! The smoke that had settled in the clay, of course. Bo he tried an experiment by erecting a rail pen, covering it with rails and placing upon these a two-foot layer of dry swamp muck or peat. Built a fire un derneath, in the pen, and kept it smothered down with green wood, same as for smoking bacon. Manufactured six loads of manure this way, all well saturated with smoke, which he applied to corn land. It acted splendidly, deepening the color of the crop to a vivid green and accelerating the growth in an extraordinary degree. He writes: I have evidently hit it. Smoke is a fertilizer and this is the way to harness it. It must be locked up in some absorbing material like peat or woods mold and so applied. There is virtue in smoke if we can keep it by us. Manuring Grapevines. The Florida Dispatch has the following on tlie proper manures for vines: Common barnyard manures are not adapted to grow ing the best grapes, though they are much better than no manuring. The faults of stable manures are an excess of nitrogen, causing excessive growth of vine and too little of mineral fertilizers which produce the fruit. An application of potash in spring or any time during the growing season is very beneficial. Old country vineyards are manured almost exclusively by the ashes from the burned trimmings of grapevines. These ashes are very rich in potash. This mineral food is especially valuable in pro moting early ripening. Vines that over bear are simply in most eases setting a larger number of clusters than the vine can supply potash for perfecting the roots and for changing the harsh juices of the green grape into tho richness of the riper one. Tobacco in Bartow County. The Bartow Advance-Courier says; The cultivation of tobacco is to become a very important factor here in Polk county, where it can be grown so readily. Every one who has experimented is enthusiastic as to the profitable yield, and we would suggest to growers the importance of promoting only the very bast grades from the start, and in that way make “Polk County Tobacco” a brand that will guarantee the very best in the world. Doh’t even experiment with an inferior grade and you will soon see what a good reputation from the start will do for you in the market. It is money in your pocket to raise a little of the very best grade rather than a great deal of inferior quality. This is true of vegetables, fruit, etc., but is particularly true of tobacco, remember. Household. Pear Marmalade.—Peel and cut some pears and macerate them 24 hours, with three-quarters of a pound of white sugar to every pound of fruit. Boil them an hour at most, adding the juice and thin yellow peel of lemons to taste. The lemon peel should be cut very small and be cut from fresh lemons. Creamed Apples.—Pare your fruit and either scald or bake it until sufficiently soft to pulp it through a colander; sweeten to taSte, fill your glasses three parts full with it, then plentifully sprinkle in some pow dered cinnamon, put a good layer of rich whipped cream on the top and sift white sugar over it. Tomato Chowder. —Ono bushel green tomatoes chopped fine, one grated horse radish, one teacup mustard seed, twelve large onions, two large spoons cinnamon, two large spoons cloves, two large spoons allspice, ono large spoon black jiepper; bring all to a boil, then drain, heat the vin egar, pour on hot and twelve green peppers chopped fine. Layer Cake.—Two cups sugar, one-half cup butter, three-fourths cup milk, three cups flour, four teaspoonfuls baking pow der, whites of eight eggs beaten to a stiff froth, and put in last a little at a time. Jelly for above: One-half pint milk, place vessel holding milk into boiling water. Beat one egg, one-half cup sugar und large one fourth cup flour together, and then stir it into the boiling milk; flavor when cool. Hpread between layers and frost the top. Apple Jam.— Peel and core the apples, and cut them in thin slices; then put them into a preserving pan or enameled sauce pan, and to every one pound of fruit add three quarters of a pound of white sugar, broken small and put in, tiod up in a piece of coarse muslin, a few cloves, a small piece of ginger and the rind of a lemon very thin; stir with a wooden spoon on a quick Are for :*0 minutes or longer. If the apples he juicy when sufficiently boiled the jam will cling to the spoon. Remove the cloves, etc., anti put the jam into jam-pots, and when quite cold tie them down with thick paper or bladder. To be kept in a cool, dry place. Clear Ox-tail Bocp.— Cut an ox-tail into pieces about an inch long, with a small, tine meat saw. Stew these pieces of tail in some stock or broth Cut up a carrot and turnip into small, square pieces the si7xi of dice. When the pieces of tail are nearly tender add the vegetables, simmer till the tj.il and vegetables are quite tender, strain THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1887. off the pieces of tail and vegetables. Clear the stock, put in the tail and vegetables and serve. If the tail is very large the pieces near the root must be cut into two, or even four. A small tail will make three pints of soup and a large tail three quarts. Be care ful to remove all the grease before clearing the soup. If you have no broth in which to make this soup use two ox-tails for three pints. If very rich soup is wanted it is better to make stock, as ox-tails have much gelatine but not much gravy iu them. Melon Preserves.—For watermelon preserves pare the green rind, cut into dice and throw into cold water to ext ract a little of the juice. Drain, put into the preserv ing kettle, mid a heaping teaspoonful of salt and powdered alum for two gallons of rind; fill the kettle with cold water and slowly boil the rind, covering with a plate and weight to keen it under water. Boil till perfectly tender, drain and put in a rich syrup made thus: Boil three or four lemons, jieeled and sliced, iu a half cup of water with the yellow part of the peel. In an other pan boil four ounces of ginger root, tied in muslin, in two pints of water, till the flavor is out. Strain the water from both pans and make a syrup with twice as much sugar by measure; add the lemon and melon, boil slowly half an hour or more till the preserve is very thick and clear. It should crystallize around the inside of the jars in keeping. Farm and Stock Notes. If we take all the hogs fattened in the United States in a year and change the time of fattening from cold to warm weath er, one-half of the grain now fed will make all the pork. This would be a saving of food, at least, to the amount of $75,000,000 per year. Pig-keeping for any profit beyond the range of the extra milk and the kitchen slops turns on grass. In grass there is profit; and hogs can lx; kept without vexation if things be fitted for them. It is no trouble to turn a dozen sows into a pasture with a nice shed for them to sleep under. The proper way to give salt is to season the food. When thrown in the trough and licked up by the animals salt sometimes causes them to drink frequently, which is not beneficial in very cold weather unless the water be somewhat warm. Salt is ne cessary for all classes of stock, but it is more beneficial when given in the food. Raw meat chopped fine and fed once a day will produce more eggs than any other food that can be given the hen. One pound of rough meat to fifteen hens is sufficient. The meat should be lean and, if preferred, may be cooked, but it gives better results when given raw. It is not expensive when the increased number of eggs is considered. Though no person should allow the family horse to depend upon grass alone yet, owing to its being his natural food, lie should not be deprived of its use entirely. When in use, however, owing to its loosening effects upon the bowels, it should not be fed to him, but when not in use grass with a portion of good hay and grain forms an excellent ra tion. A practical farmer, who burns both coal and wood in different stoves, makes a prac t.ice of mixing the ashes and applying all on his young orchard in the spring. He be lieves that the potash of the wood ashes is effective in small quantities, and that in addition to the coal ashes makes the latter much more absorptive of ammonia or nitric acid from the atmosphere. An exchnnge advocates putting bulls to work about the farm, saying that it would prevent their getting fractious. Possibly we may live to see the day when the spirit of utility shall be so much abroad in the land that the Jersey and Holstein bull calf will be dehorned and be made to do double duty at the head of tho herd and before the cart and plow with no fears. In storing away garden seeds place them in woolen bags, with a piece of gum cam phor in each bag, and also dust the seeds with insect powder. These methods will protect the seeds against insects, which de stroy many kinds, such as peas, beans, etc. All seeds should be kept in a dry place and an examination of them should be made several times during the winter. A pig which while eating takes its head out of the trough and acts as if the slop had run the wrong way has the sniffles. He should be removed from the herd and eared for, as the disease is contagious. Put pine tar in the slop and smear both thq nose and face with it. Feed sulphur and give tur pentine. A free use of carbolic acid, ex ternally and internally, should also be made. An ox, a cow or six sheep w’ill eat all the grass that grows on an acre between April and October, and no human labor will have been expended in the process: but the same acre, well manured, would produce thirty tons of loots, which would feed at least five oxen for five months better than the grass fed one for the same time. Besides, the condition of the land for the next g ear's crop would be greatly improved. Trimming an apple tree does not mean that one must go into the orchard and hack away with ax and saw simply to cut away a certain proportion of wood, but the trees should be evenly trimmed and no limbs re moved except such as may benefit the tree by being cut off. Where a limb has com menced to decay it should be removed, however, as it may be caused by disease. Especially is this necessary with pear trees, which are subject to blight. Care for the chickens does not imply that they should be coddled and panuiered to death by overzeal or laistakeu kindness. Care is that part of the routine of poultry culture which bestows a kind hand to the tender younglings, •to supply their little wants with the, view of promoting thrift, good health and prepossessing looks, and prepare them for a useful and valuable life by giving them such food and adjunct ne cessaries as will best accomplish this. A writer in Hoard's Dairyman says that as a general thing Hnlsteins are kept for the purpose of selling their milk and are fed for the purpose of producing quantity instead of quality, which makes a great difference. Feed them as you do Jerseys for butter, and you will soon see a great difference in the quality of tho milk. He has grade Jerseys, Ayrshires and Shorthorns; also thorough bred Shorthorns, Guernseys and Holsteins, and nover saw young cattle do so well on the same amount of food as the Holsteins do. Popular Science. Nine new comets were observed during the year 1880. To raise steam to a pressure of TO pounds the water must be boated to 024” Fahren heit. It is claimed that one pound of pine wood will evaporate four and three-quarter pounds of fresh water in a boiler. An Australian mineral called maldonite has been found to consist of an alloy of gold and bismuth, containing fkt per cent, of the former metal. Sawdust thrown on a circular saw table will render the hauling of heavy planks quite easy. The grains act as small rollers and reduce friction. Paper containing ligneous substances such as straw, wood and jute is rapidly discol ored by electric light. The yellowing isdue to the phenomenon of oxidation. Dr. Burton promises that before the end of another year the members of the Electric Club will be eating fried oysters and drink ing coffee prepared by electric heat. Applying certain measurements to a scarcely visible film of silver, Herr Wiener arrives at the conclusion that no less than 135,000,1KK) molecules of silver must be laid in a line to measure an inch. An elastic mucilage is made as follows: To 30 parts of alcohol add one part of sali cylic acid, o jiarts of soft soap and 3 parts of glycerine. Shako well and then add a mucilage made of 03 iiorta of gum arabic and ISO ports of water. This is said to keep well and to be thoroughly elastic. It is said that small cast-iron ornaments that have been broken may be soldered by cleaning the surfaces to be united of all im purities, then rubbing them with a brass wire brush till they are covered with the brass. These surfaces can then lie tinned aud soldered as readily as brass articles. CHEAP ADVERTISING. ONE CENTA WOliD.
