AGRICULTURAL
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
HOW TO FEED COLtS.
A horse raiser says that the follow¬
ing treatment enables his colts to gain
five pounds a day: “When they are
about six weeks old teach them to eat
shorts, and later shave the soft corn
off of the early roasting ears and mix
with the shorts, with all the hay they
will eat up clean, and a little olover—
scattering a little salt with the feed.
They are kept in the stable in the
daytime and let out at night, and do
not follow the.dam. At three months
they ought to gain at least five pounds
a day.”
HOW TO MAKE THE HENS PAT.
Now or never is the time to gnthor
the profit ou eggs. If the pullets
have been properly housed aud fed
they should be iaying eggs now at a
lively rate, and squaring up the ac¬
count against them for feed and care
since last spring. Do not forget the
water; while not so much will be
needed as was needed iu summer, it is
a necessity, and should be pure and
clean. If there is danger of its freez¬
ing before the fowls will have had a
chance to drink, warm it slightly.
See that the feed is given regularly
and in variety. Warm breakfasts now
will pay. Keep the shell box, grit
box, charcoal box and dust box well
filled with fresh and clean material.
Clean out the droppings at least once
a week, and put fresh, clean leaves or
straw over the floor, in which to throw
dry grain.—American Agriculturist.
VALUE OF GRAIN CHAFF.
The chaff ot grain has ft higher nu¬
tritive value than any part of the
stalk. It is the part nearest tho
grain. Probably iu a green straw
some of the nutriment on its way
through tained the sap to the grain is de¬
before it reaches the place it
started for. Cattle that have good
hay will always eat some oat or barley
chaff for a change, if given a small
quantity every day. Yet when stock
are made with too little help to get
away the straw, most of tho chaff falls
beneath the carrier. It is heavier
than tho straw, because it is more
compact, and because the man stand¬
ing under the carrier is always tread¬
ing the chaff under his feet, The last
years we were farming we used to go
with team and pole wagon whero the
carrier had been, and pilo it full with
the ohaff to put in the barns. It saved
tho feeding of much hay and any
stock, except cows giving milk, did
quite well on it. We never could
feed straw or grain chaff to milch oows
without lessening their yield. Some
scatter the ohaff through the stack,
but this requires a good deal of un¬
necessary labor, and even then there
will always be more chaff left under
tho straw carrier. It wets through
the first rain storm aud unless put
under shelter soon rots down and be¬
comes worthless before cold weather
comes—Boston Cultivator.

Oil cake, as the old-process meal is
termed, has been very popular in Eng¬
land for over a century. It is largely

the ventilating flues thus formed eaoh

other purposes when not occupied for
storage.—Scientific American.
ELECTRICITY IN FARMING.
During the summer of 1894 a new
and successful attempt was mado to
introduce electricity for power trans
mission in farming, and the result has
been so satisfactory that the Now'
York World thinks it. is worthy of
"
wido attention.
The experiment was made in Austria,
The plant consists of a central station
operated in connection with a planing
mill located near the centre of the es
fate. From the central station two
power circuits of a total leugth of
about six miles are operated. One
these furnishes current for a
mill, a farm aud a dairy. Tho other
circuit supplies two separate farms,
At the grist mill, which is ordinarily used
run by water power, the motor is
only at such time of the year when the
water power is unavailable. At tho
dairy there is a ten horse-power motor
running a pump and different smaller
appliances. At each of the farms is a
twelvo horse-power motor mounted on

a movablo truck and built over to
protect it against the weather. This
motor is moved from one part of the
farm or field to another, wherever
power is required for running thresh¬
ing machines, pumps, straw-cuttors,
etc. Along the edges of the fields is
pluced the electric circuit, consisting
of bare copper wires supported on
glass insulators. By means of a flexi¬
ble cable, the motor can bo conneoted
np at any part of tbe field where its
servioe is required.
When, in the fall, the threshing is
finished the motor cars are brought
back to tho farmyards aim used for
operating irrigation pumps. Ono of
these movable motors is in use during
the winter for distillery furnishing power for a
brewery and located near
one of tho -forms.
The employment of electrical powor
in farm work has several advantages
over the iiso ,qf portable steam en¬
gines. The motor cars are consider¬
ably lighter and are easier to trans¬
port from ono place to another. There
is no hauling of coal and water re¬
quired, and no timo is lost in firing
up. It also reduces the danger of set¬
ting fire to grain stacks and barns.
In this country, whero there are so
many small coal mines, many of whi^g
are not large enough to b o reg flffiized
as railroad ship^HigppWfuts, it is sug
-gc*Sr(5crThat similar plants, not only
for agricultural, but also might for smaller
industrial purposes, prove
practicable and profitable for the
small manufacturers and farmers of
the surrounding district, as well as
for the coal miner.

Wanderings of Derelicts.
Iu a recent issue we referred to t,
docir.ion of tho Admiralty aud Board
of Trade of England, whioh con¬
demned the United States charts re¬
ferring to tho position of derelicts, on
the ground that tho charts probably
exaggerated the danger from this
source. Tho distance whioh such
vessels traverse is, however, much
greater than is generally supposed.
Such wrecks are sighted from time to
time by vossels and their position at
the, time is recorded, and a careful
record of all these observations makes
it possible to prepare a chart whioh,
in a general way, will show these
wanderings. According to a chart of
this kind, recently published, tho
dereleet Fannie E. Wolston lias
traveled during tho past five years
somewhat more than 10,000 miles.
This calculation is based upoii forty
six reports made by various vessels.
Another derelict, whioh startod on its
wayward course in 1891 drifted about
3500 miles up to tho time it was last
seen or a period of 015 days. Auotlier
remarkable derelict, tho W. L. White,
floated about tho North Atlantic for
310 days, covering in that time some
5910 knotB. All those long-lived dere¬
licts have been heavily loaded with
lumber and they have, therefore, been
able to keep afloat for vory long peri
ods. The lumber buoys them up and
prevents tho storms from crushing
them. Derelicts are moved for the
most part by the forco of various
ocean currents. And in geuoaal they
ovontually float to 1 lint portion of tho
North Atlantic known as tho Sargasso
Sen, where tho currents are very slug
gish and weak. This region is, for¬
tunately, outside tho track of most of
the Atlantic eommoroe. It can readi¬
ly bo seen, however, that iu those
wandorings tho doreliets ore likely to
prove very dangerous.—Scientific
American.
All Kinds ol (Jueer Pels,
Harry O. Hopkins, one of tho,young¬
est members of tho Maryland Academy
of Scieuco, has a special fondness for
animals, says *tho Baltimore Sun.
Among his earliest pots were throe
frogs, which he raised from tadpoles.
They becamo so tame that they would
recognize liis voico and hop oagorly
to him whenever they heard h’'L
speak. His next pets were five screech
owls, which ho kept in (ho garret of
bis home. Ono of the owls, which he
called Bob, becamo so accustomed to
his voico that it would screech back a
reply when called, and would haste to
join Mr. & Hopkins in iho low¬
er rooms of tho house. Mr.
Hopkins had at other times
raccoons, opossums, foxes, white
mico and whito rats for pets. The
latest pet in his collection was iho
most unique of them all, and was per¬
haps the only pet of the kind over
heard of. It was a roach—an ordi¬
nary brown roaeli—that ran out of liis
desk ono day and took a sip from a
drop of ink that hail fallen on tho
desk. Mr. Hopkins let tho little crea¬
ture indulge itself undisturbed, and
ono day induced it to take a sip from
the point of liis pen. After that to
tamo the roach was an easy matter,
and ho soon had it so tamo that it
would come from its hiding place
when called, and would follow tho
pen over the paper while Mr. Hopkins
wrote. Mr. Hopkins did not enjoy
the society of his little pet long. A
new servant with a mania for “clean¬
ing up" and antipathy to roaches saw j
the not, ou tho desk one day and
killed it.
Midst el Sail Water.
In regard to the fresh water |
which “ponds,” or discovered “shoals of in green the water," Gulf of j
were
Mexico in 1894, 1 have gathered tho
following facts: The first and larger of
tho two is only about ton miles from
the mouth of the Mississippi, and is
believed to be an immense spring,
such as would result from tho open¬
ing of an underground river. Thin
belief is based on the fact that at I
about the center of the water pond or
fresh water patch there is a sand cone
—thejgnlf,water at the apex of the cone
being only fifty-four feet deep, while
in all directions from it the depth is
from 600 to 900 feet. The other fresh
water patch is about twenty-five miles
from the month of the Mississippi, in
twenty-seven degrees south latitude,
eighty-eight degrees and twenty min¬
utes west. The best theory that has
been advanced to account for them
is that they are the mouths submarine of enor- j
moils underground and in the j
rivers which have their sources |
Rocky Mountains. Such underground i
rivers have been tapped at many and j
points in Texas, Indian Territory
