In a circular of Prof. Sanborn, which is quoted by the Philadelphia Record, it is stated that rotations are valuable because plant* vary in the area of the soil in which the roots grow, and from which they derive the sustenance of the plant, thus more com pletely utilizing the so I ', within their reach. There is a remarka r-le variation in the power of plants to appropriate the various elements of plant growth, due, at least in part, to the character of the acids secreted by their roots. Thus one plant, like clover, has a high power of gathering nitrogen, and an other, like wheat, a very low power. Plants vary in their weight of roots. As an illus tration clover, carrying several times the weight of roots that wheat does, it will be seen that, inasmuch as clover roots are very much richer in nitrogen than wheat and carry enough nitrogen to grow a crop of wheat, wheat will most advantageously fol low clover. Thus, likewise, other plants follow each other advantageously. Rotation of crops baffles, in a large measure, the root enemies, both insect and fungus, that prey Upon them. Each plant having its own peculiar enemies, changing of plants re moves them to fields unoccupied by such enemies. This is true of the above-ground growth of plants to an important degree. Plants vary in the amounts of the vary ing elements of nutrition actually taken up in growth; thus, while wheat takes only pound of potash for every pound of phos phoric acid, potatoes take 3)4 pounds of potash for each pound of phosphoric acid. Continuous growth of potatoes would ex haust the potash of the soil or of supplied manure long before the phosphoric acid would give out. The leaves of plants vary in their power of gaining food and of va porizing water, and are roughly divided into broad anil narrow leaved. Leaves vary in their season of active growth. Those plants maturing in midsummer and early fall generally gather nitrogen (com and turnips are good examples), following in their growth the decomposing influence of the sun more easily and fully than other crops do. Rotation conserves soil fertility, and yet aids in soil decomposition by alter nation of grass or cover crops and hoed crops. Under a continuation of plow and tillage crops, leaching, volatization and washing of fertility is rapid and may be or is more than carried away by crops, espe cially so of nitrogen. Rotation of crops distributes labor over the year and there fore economizes labor and gives regular help and aids in the solution of the labor prob lem of the farm. Rival Breeds of Cattle. Mr. Singerly, proprietor of the Philadel phia Record, has the finest herd of Holstein cattle in the United States and is naturally partial to that breed. In a recent article in his paper it is claimed that the question of superiority in the production of butter be tween the Holstein and the Jersey is still a disputed one, the Jerseys, however, having become famous through the records of such noted cows as Eurotas, Bomba, Jersey Belle, Princess 11, Mary Anne of St. Lamberts and others, but as each animal of a breed must stand upon its individual merits there are hundreds of inferior Jerseys, as well as a large number that are first-class. Records show the tendency of a breed to excel in the direction intended, and, though the little Jerseys are grand butter cows, yet there are other records which point to rivals that not only equal them in butter production but exceed them in the yield of milk. The largest record for butter in ninety days (304 pounds s ounces) was made by a Holstein- Friesian, and a cow only 28 months old, Netheiland Princess IV., made 21 pounds 1034 ounces in a week. Asa 3-year-old Albius 11. produced 24 pounds 1034 ounces in a week, vhiie three cows have in thirty days produo i> over 100 pounds of butter each, and fifty cows can show a record of over 20 pounds per week. A large number of cows from the Holstein breed have been privately tested that have produced from 12 to 24 pounds per week. Twice the Hol steins have beaten the Jerseys in public tests at Chicago for the challenge cup with Mercedes, aid at the recent dairy show in New York city. At the late Ohio fair also, where tb breeds competed, the Holsteins won on but*." and milk production, and the Jerseys were oncefbeaten at Minneapolis by the Holsteins, the latter having won all the prizes offered These records show that while the Holstein yields a larger quantity of milk than any other breed of dairy cows it is not a chance butter cow, relying on a few individual cows to bolster the reputa tion of the whole, and that herds of Hol steius are well known by those interested that consist entirely of cows capable of making excellent records in a public test. The public tests of butter cows iu which the Hoisteins and Jerseys should meet and com pete would be productive of great benefit, as they could not fail to bring both breeds to a higher standard of excellence. They would stimulate the breeders to excel and the cattle of the whole country would thereby be improved. No one is disposed to deny that tho Jersey is entitled to a high rank as a butter producing animal, but the Holstein breeders will not submit to the Jersey’s claim as the only butter-producing cow. The Jersey must meet the Holstein in public tests and demonstrate the claim by the amount of its product. Profitable Cucumber Planting. A correspondent of the Florida Dispatch, writing from Archer, gives the experience of Mr. A. F. Wyman iu planting cucum bers this year. Few can hope to do so well as he, but even a moderate measure of his success would be worth while. He says his land is fair pine, was well brokon in the fall, plowed in January. In February laid off in rows four feet apart. A ton of good fertilizer was well worked into 2,“00 hills. The first week of February the seeds were planted. The March freeze scorched many hills, that were replanted at once. May 1 the first crate was shipped, June 14 the •LOth ended the shipping. Gross proceeds f'27; checks, $451; fertilizer, s4l; crates, &I0; net, s:itso from tho three-fourths acre, is this all. Tho vines were plowed iu and eowpeas planted thickly. A big crop of peas was the result. Lately these vines wore plowed in, 1,500 pounds rotted bone broadcasted and 1,000 pounds more drilled into the rows where he will put in a crop of garden peas, “Morng Stars.” In January they wifi come off, the vihes be plowed in, another ton of bone and another trial of the cucumbers. Three good crops within one year and the land getting better and better. Facts About Fruit Trees. Mr. P. J. Bercktnans, who owns a nursery of 200 acres of fruit and ornamental trees neat- Augusta, Ga., and is perhaps the best known horticulturist in the South, says: The most desirable soil for fruit trees is a rich loam, naturally dry or made so by drainage. Sow eowpeas in the spring and turn them under with a two-horse plow fol lowed by a subsoil plow during July, Au gust or September. Lay off the rows at the required distances and dig holes two feet square and two deep. Fill the holes by breaking in the sides, commencing at the bottom and going upwards. Use surface soil in filling up, and with this mix a shovel ful or two of cotton seed and stable manure, compost well ripened or composted. Avoid the contact of roots with heating manures. For this climate, says Mr. Berckmans, experience has taught us that one-year old trees, of thrifty growth, are the most de sirable. Give as many sound roots to a tree and as little head as possible. We prefer to cut away overy branch, leaving the body two feet high, and to allow the tree to form its head in its permanent place rather than in the nursery row. Before planting remove all broken roots. Cut back one-year-old peach or applo trees to a ijaked stem two to three feet high; leave no side branches. Two-year-old trees should have their branches cut back to half their length or more, the lower less than those above, cutting in shorter as you go upward and leave the leader the longest. Plant as deep as the tree was standing in the nursery row, except the dwarf pears and cherries, which should be planted suffi ciently deep to cover the stock from two to three inches. In this climate (about latitude 32°) vege tation although inactive in winter for the formation of leaves and new wood, is never so as to new roots. A tree transplanted in November or December will, by theensuing spring, have formed sufficient new roots to give it a firm hold in the ground, and will grow off rapidly when active vegetation commences. Plant as early after the first killing frost as practicable and do not delay it until the spring months. Apple trees can be transplanted as late as March, and iu some seasons until April 1; but success is increased if the planting has been done in the fall or early winter. Home-made Fertilizers. Mr. W. J. Chamberlain, President of the lowa Agricultural College, stated in an ar ticle in the Country Gentleman some time ago that Mr. T. B. Terry, of Ohio, made from fifty head of cattle in five months a manure pile of 600 tons, worth $2,664, at a cost of $664 for ashes, muck, etc. With the aid of such fertilizers Mr. Terry brought his little farm of 50 acres from a state of extreme poverty to one of such high fertility that phosphates failed to show any benefit; how, by those same agencies, he raised crops of from 38 to 40 bifthels of wheat and from 200 to 300 bushels of potatoes per acre; enabling him to lift a large indebtedness from the farm, build substantial improve ments and buy all needed farm machinery; how (the greatest triumph of all for the manure) the ground became so stored with fertility, needing only clover and tillage to develop, that even the owner and improver began to place tillage as first and manure as secondary. In one of the papers Mr. Terry earetully estimates the cost of making water-tight stables, wheeling the manure from thence to the yard, together with hauling it from there and building the compost heap. He calculates it to be less than SIOO per year, which is certainly a small amount to pay for so valuable a re sult. Even if only one-half of the esti mated value is returned to the crops of the rotation, and if half of that value would have been saved under common manage ment, SSOO returned for SIOO expended is still a very good investment. The Sweet Potato Crop. Asa rule sweet potatoes ought to be har vested as soon as fully matured, though a very general practice is to begiu digging the tubers directly after the first frost. If there-should be any doubt as to whether the potatoes are fully ripe or not, cut open a few specimens. If the cut dries white the tubers are ready to harvest; if dark, they ought to be left in the ground a little longer. Where one has a potato digger this is used, but harvesting the crop is oftenest done with a turning plow. In storing sweet 'potatoes, no matter by what mode, an all-important point in their keeping is dryness and protection from undue told, with some means of ventilation at the same time. In the South a usual plan is to bury the potatoes in heaps or banks. Large growers in colder eli mates use houses made with double walls inclos ing a packing of sawdust. Household. Vinegar Pie. —One half teacupful water, one-half teacupful molasses, one cracker, salt and nutmeg. Potato Rolls. —Take cold mashed pota toes, add a little salt, make into halls, with a little Hour, flatten them, drop in hot lard and fry a delicate brown.

Farm and Stock Notes. A cow' well fed will not need to go dry more than a month and a half to two months. A starved cow should go dry all the time. One of the greatest drawbacks to begin ners in poultry raising is to attempt to keep fifty fowls in a house or lot none too large for twenty-five. Mr. Ware, of Massachusetts, says that butter made from his silage in winter is yellow without any coloring matter and seems as if made from June grass. Over 1,000 head of cattle were killed in Westchester county, N. Y., in August on account of the outbreak of pleuro-pneu mouia there, and the disease has not been stamped out yet. Forty years ago the butcher robbed the beef of nearly all the tallow, as it was worth twice as much per pound. Now they crowd on all they can, as it is not worth half as much as good lean beef. The turkeys should be given full range now, as there are no crops they can harm. They will find a large portion of their food and a large flock can be raised at a very small cost if given plenty of room. A gardener says the best thing he has ever tried for killing the cabbage Worm is a mixture of equal parts of plaster, air slaked lime, salt and black loam made fine, mixed dry and applied by the handful With ox beef worth no more than 434 c. a pound live weight one cannot now buy feed and make beef and keep even. The farmer who has the fodder can winter cattle and feed them on grass and make a gain. Though the Jerseys begin to breed when quite young, there are other breeds thut sometimes have exceptions. A Western farmer has a Galloway heifer which, though'only 13 months old, has given birth to a calf. In corn the proportion of albuminoids to carbohydrates is one to eight, in bran it is one to three. By mixing these foods the proportion of one to five may be obtained, which careful experiment has shown to be the best for animals. The farmer cannot weil get along without having at least a cows. He is therefore interested, be it. - er so little, in making them pay, and cannot afford to shut his eyes to an opportunity of acquiring points on profitable dairy management. If the steers be poor and refuse to eat, or do not thrive, look for lice. If lice be pres ent sponge them with a solution of insect powder and give each steer a half pint of linseed meal daily in the food. Many of the ills of cattle may be attributed to lice. Prof. Riley, one of tho first authorities on insects, does not approve of whitewash ing the stems of shade trees. As against the tussock moth it may be of some slight use, but the bag worm, the web worm and the elm-leaf beetle cannot be affected by it. Since 1860 the average amount of wool grown on each sheep has doubled. In that year the product was 234 pounds per sheep; now it is 5 pounds. This has been accom plished by the grading up of common flocks and improving them by the use of merino rams. Among mutton-eaters there is an increas ing demand for more lean and less fat, as is the case with Down mutton. And in parts of the world where sheep nre raised as much for their meat as their wool this is going to lie a leading element in the quest ion of what brand of sheep to raise. The best fertilizers for grapes are bone meal and potash. Unground bones are slower in action than the meal, but a bushel of them buried at the roots of a vine will, in time, be taken up and transformed into grapes. Wood ashes and homo made soft soap suds furnish potash. A Kentucky farmer recommends that the best way to kill out willows is to peel them three or four feet from tho ground down to the earth, severing the bark from the tree, which should be done the latter part of spring, leaving the trees to stand, which die and make excellent stove wood. Very much depends upon the milking, both in regard to the yield of the milk and the quality of the butter or cheese made from it. The formation of tbe cow’s udder is such that the secretion of the milk is helm'd by good milking, while it is retarded and in time lessened by bad milking. Prof. A. J. Cook, of Michigan, says that neither copperas, sulphpr, phospates nor potash has proved effectual in his State against tho yellows in peach trees. The only way to prevent the spread of the dis ease is to root out and burn all affected trees throughout the country on showing symptoms or an attack. On those farms where the animals are made to pasture and pick up the greater portion of their food tho best breed for crossing on the native stock is the Devon, which is a beautiful red in color, larger than the native and active in habits, the cows also being much above the average as milkers and butter producers. As the game hen is the embodiment of pluck and will fight to the death in defense of her progeny, she is generally recom mended as tho best of mothers. This is a great mistake; slse is too nervous and ex citable to be a really successful mother and will trample more to death dancing around an imaginary enemy than a Plymouth Rock or Brahma will lose for want of courage and pluck. Popular Science. ‘(Snail’s pace' 1 is no longer an indefinite term. It has been ascertained that a snail can crawl a mile in fourteen days. In Paris the authorities are considering the question of allowing the use of gas motors in theatres to drive dynamos for the production of electric lights. The amount of force exerted by heat and cold in expansion and contraction of metal is equal to that which would be required to stretch or compress it to the same extent by mechanical means. Tin or zinc is sometimes nailed over the ends of large timliers where they ure ex cised to the weather, such as railroad bridges, etc. A heavy coat of tar applied to the end liefore putting the zinc on will be a decided improvement. A lens which magnifies, and yet is per fectly fiat on both sides, is a scientific nov elty. It is made at Jena, by the manufac turer of Prof. Abbie’s new optical glass. The lens consists of asingle disk, the density of which varies so that its refractory power decreases regularly from the surface in ward. A standard thermometer is made with a dial upon which the figures are as easily read as upon a clock. In this instrument strips of metal which are unequally acted upon by heat or cold are soldered together in the form of spirals. The action of the temper ature is multiplied by delicate wheels and pinions. According to Dr. Lucien Howe, who read a paper on the increase of blindness in tne United States at the last meeting of the American Association for tho Advancement of Science, the population of this country increased 30 per cent, from 1870 to 1880, anil blindness increased during the same period 40 per cent., until now we have with us 50,000 blind. Contagion and immigration are set down as among the chief causes. It is the testimony of life-savers at the sea-beach that women drown quicker than men. They keep their mouths open wnen they are under water, thus allowing their lungs to be filled, and they are not so strong as men. They are harder to save, because they invariably clutch for a rescuer’s hands and cling to them as tongas they can. Their clutch, too, is tighter than that of a man. The difference is not explained.
