Adroutae., or ••Firming** th. Soil
Progressive farmers understand the
aBjawsxrsa with turning over the clods once with a
plow and once with a coarse harrow.

FIG I —TiUill ROOTS AMONG COARSK CLODS.
Tlit* delicate thread like roots of plants
can obtain little if any benefit when
planted in a stone heap, even if thestones
contained highfy stimulating fertilizers.
The rule will apply to delicate garden
annuals and to targe frees alike. The
man who .transplants a fruit tree-and
tumbles in carelessly the coarse unbroken
earth can hardly expect it to grow, even
if it survives the. treatment In the ac¬
companying debted cuts, for which we are In¬
to Country Gentleman, are shown
tree roots under different conditions.
Fig. I illustrates a tree endeavoring to
grow with its roots among the coarse
clods In Fig, 3 the soil has been finely
pulverized and placed In contact with all
the fibers. Tho coarse soil is full of air
crevices, causing the roots to dry up in
summer, and very little of the earth can
be in actual contact with them. The
pulverized soil closely Incases every root
and supplies all the moisture and food
required.
no. 2—THE ROOTS IN PULVERIZED SOIL.
A soil reduced to a fine condition and
with proper depth holds like a sponge
the surplus water of rains and gives it to
growing plants as they require it. This,
however, is but one of the advantages of
fine culture, A hard, compact soil is
easily flooded with a heavy shower, and
becomes too dry in its absence. Actual
experiments furnish the most satisfactory
and convincing proofs of these different
influences. This work of pulverizing the
soil has been rendered a comparatively
easy matter of late years by the intro¬
duction of such implements as the Acme
and Disc harrows, the Cutaway, the
smoothing harrows and similar ap¬
pliances. * 'Firming” the soil by pressure
of the foot or with suitable implements,
when sowing seeds, now prevails among
grain. This pressure serves to close up
the air crevices and bring the soil into
actual contact with the seed.
Agricultural Experiment Stations.
The first document published under
the authority of the secretary of agricul¬
ture is Experiment Station Bulletin No.
1 of the newly established office of ex¬
periment stations of the United States
department of agriculture. This pam¬
phlet contains a large amount of infor¬
mation regarding the history and pros¬
pects of the agricultural experiment sta¬
tions, whiOh are now conducting scien¬
tific and practical experiments iff the
different states. Such institutions for
scientific investigation in behalf of agri-
enlture have been long ip operation in
Europe. The first one in this country
was begun in Connecticut in the chemi¬
cal laboratory of Wesleyan university
fourteen years ago. Other states fol¬
lowed the example, and In 1887 congress
appropriated §13,000 per annum to each
state and territory for the purpose.
! All the states now have agricultural ex¬
periment iana has three. stations. The Soup total have number two; Louis¬
now
fa operation is forty-six, or, counting
branch stations, nearly scientika sixty. They enf»
ploy more than 870 andagri
•ulturists, and receive this year §395,000
from the national government, and
about §125,000 from the state and other
sources. A feature is the co-operation
between the stations and the depart¬
ment of agriculture at Washington,
which is charged by congress with the
duty of supervising and aiding the sta¬
tions in their work. The office of ex¬
periment stations, acting with the Asso¬
ciation of American - Agricultural Col¬
leges and Experiment Stations, is able to
accomplish much in this line. The bul¬
letin contains an introduction by the
secretary.

by application stations, to the office of experi¬
ment department of agricul¬
ture, Washington, D. C.
; Feeding Oaf* to Cow* Before Cal ring.
A Wisconsin correspondent in Hoard’s
Dairyman writes: “When I was a boy in
England, feeding my father’s cows, some
fifty years ago, my father used to charge
me to feed a little oats every day for a
‘quickly week or two before calving, in order to
expel the placenta. I have fol¬
lowed that advice in this country for the
last forty-three years, and have rarely
had any trouble When cows are at
pasture I scarcely found any trouble, but
my neighbors have had trouble but frequent-,
ly with cows fed on ear com, when
led a gallon of oats a day trouble, for a week either or
so, I never knew of any
in England car here.”

sore or even ewe
owns her lamb, she will refuse to let it
suck. Under such circumstances the
lamb very soon becomes weak and dies.
Prevention is better than cure for all
these ailments, and this lies in providing
the ewe with suitable food. This must
be such as not. to produoea feverish con¬
dition. It should be somewhat laxative
and well supplied with nitrogenous nitrogenous ele-
mepts. Such Such food foods are wheat bran, oats,
pea meal, beans and linseed meal Corn
is unsuitable for breeding ewes, as it pro¬
duces fat and heat
There is no animal which responds
with better results to succulent foods than
sheep and ewes be with iamb Potatoes do
not seem to adapted to this purpose;
turnips are a natural food for ewes, as
well as for other sheep. Carrots are ex¬
cellent, and so are beets and mangels. A
few roots or a small ration of these, say
four quarts a day, With bran and linseed
meal, will put ewes in a most healthy
and vigorous condition, and at the same
time this combination of foods will tend
to promote the growth and support of
the fetus, and when the little lamb is
boro it will have the bone and strength
to help itself, and it will give far less
trouble to get it on its legs and obtain it*
sustenance from the mother. •
There is such a thing as feeding the
lamb before it is boro—to nourish and
strengthen it through the blood of the
dam. This is an important matter and
should never be lost right of In the feed¬
ing of the mother. This idea is particu¬
larly applicable to the ewe, as its off¬
spring is so likely If to be weak and more

be in limited quantities at first, not mbre
than a gill a day for a few days, than
gradually increase to a quart or t*o,
according to tho size of the ewe. Three
parts of wheat-fcranto g<*>3fi>portion, one part of lin¬
seed meal is a fed twice
a day with toe roots. Ewes may be fed
oats with roots and do well, but the bran
is almost invaluable, as it will furnish
the muscle and bone food required.
When ewes are to lamb soon, they should
not pe fed sheep on food. timothy There hay, is as nothing it is not a
proper so
good in all the list of forage plants as
bright clover hay. Sheep will do well
on this food alone, up to the time of
lambing, as it is toe best balanced food
in the whole list. The ewes should lave
access to water whenever they want it, as
they naturally drink but little at a time
and drink often.

Arbor Dtgr.
The first Arbor day was observed in
Nebraska seventeen years ago, when
12,000,000 trees were planted. There are
now growing in toe state 900,000,000
trees. In other states many millions of
trees have been planted, and at the pre¬
sent time thirty-four states observe an
Arbor day.

The* resolution recently passed at a
meeting of the Market Gardeners’ asso¬
ciation, at Boston, to toe effect “that the
judicibususeof honestly made fertilizers
is profitable to the practical farmer and
market gardener," is in accordance with
the experience of the progressive market
gardeners and formers of New York and
New Jersey.

The.works at Fort Scott and Topeka are

one at Conway Springs and one at Doug¬

In a recent report from the statistician
of the department of agriculture is given
the result of toe investigation, through
agents and correspondents,.of toe aver¬
age weight oi wheat, by states. The
Average weight of six wheat crops, those
of 1888-1888, is set down at B7.7 pounds
per bushel. The present average is still
lower—56.5. The estimates for toe spring
wheat region are all very low, from 58.7
pounds in Dakota to 65 in Nebraska.

Why She Hugged Herself.
“It is easy for married couples to
quarrel and bring themselves to the
point of a divorce,” said a New York¬

that, business would keep me away
from her for next twenty-four hours.
She was very girlish, and by way of
a reply she gave herself a little hug,
