FOR TIIE FARM AND HOME.
Mowtna <*>« Hoadtldes.
It should be part of the road work
everywhere to keep the weeds cut down
which spring up along the sides of the
highways; and this work should never
be neglected. There is scarcely a neigh¬
borhood in which the highways do not
mature enough weeds to seed half tho
adjoining fields. It would be to the in¬
terest of tho owners oi those fields to
have the hignways mown; but they fait
to do this because tbe roads are public
property, anil ihey feel that every item
of their care should be part of public ex-
pense. Usually nearly all of the work
could be dono with a two-horsc mower,
the scythe being necessary only where
there are projecting post, sharp off-sets
in the fence, etc. This dono the work
would cost very little compared with tho
damage ft would avoid. If the road
overseers do not feel disposed to have
this work done, fearing that it is outside
their duties, it should be brought up be¬
fore the annual town meeting and voted
upoD. If properly presented before the
vote is taken, very few, if any, will vote
against it. It may be well to suggest
that not only those who have fields by
the highways will be benefite 1, but
every mat who passes along the road.—

lirowln* Food for Hog*.
The condition of hogs may be greatly
improved if some kind of special food be
grown for the purpose of giving them a
change next winter when dry corn will be
their lot. It has been demonstrated that
when corn is fed in connection with some
other food, better results arc obtained
than when only corn is allowed. This is
due to the fact that a continued diet on
one kind of food is, sooner or later, sure
to injure the digestive organs and de¬
range the system, but whe.e some kind
of bulky food is given with the corn, the
animals are promoted in health. And
though such food should be bulky, it
should also be succulent. Clover hay,
steeped, is also excellent for hogs, but
there is one kind of food that can be
grown cheaply, and which is with the
reach of every farmer. It is the pump¬
kin. They will keep well during the
winter, and may be fed cooked or raw.
The seeds a e said to injure cows, but
we have heard of no ill effects when they
are fed to wine. In feeding pumpkins
always sprinkle a little salt on them, and
in cooking them thicken the mess with a
mixture of bran and middlings. If
pumpkins are boiled with turnips, nnd a
good feed of the same be given the hogs,
warm, in the morning, the effect will be
almost magical, ns the corn fed will bo
more easily assimilated, the bowels regu¬
lated, and the animals make rapid gain.
Grow some kind of succulent, bulky
food for your hogs, and especially
pumpkins .—Christian at Work.
1 Cure of the Work Team.
E. U. Stephenson, a Virginia farmer,
says in the Farming World: A poor work
team makes farm operations more costly.
Grooming is essentia), as it gives rest to
tired muscles. It is second only to proper
food. It has been said: “A good groom¬
ing is worth four quarts of oats. ” Feed
liberally, but do not over-feed. Feed
regularly, and see that the team has its
breakfast, dinner and supper, before you
have your own. It is poor policy to give
horses no grain until they are about to do
Borne hard job, or a season’s hard work.
Over-feeding with grain or grass, causes
derangement of the dige tion. Imper¬
fect digestion means impaired usefulness
in the long run. A bora will do more
work on oats than corn. Corn will pre¬
pare a horse for tabor, but oats make a
better ration during hard work. Oil and
star h in corn make it an undesirable
Bummer food; it is heating. Old any,
cut and mixed with bran or a little meal,
makes a good work ration; if old hay is
not plenty, feed newly cured clover or
timothy. Give nn occasional feed of
roots, apples, and the like; they afford a
variety and help digestion. '
If at all possible, let the team during
hard summer work drink onco in tho
forenoon and once in the afternoon, be¬
sides at their regular meals. Judge them
somewhat by yourself. See that the
breast and shoulders do not chafe. To
prevent it, take care to have well fitting
collars, and bathe the shoulders with cool
water on returning from the field.
,'lov«r-Slcl« Soil*.
The following was written in reply to
a letter sent to the New Jersey Experi¬
ment Station, inquiring what could be
done to give more certainty to the
growth of clover and to increase its
yield:
There is much complaint among farm¬
ers in a 1 parts of the country where
clover is grown that the seed does not
take as well as it did formerly, and that
the crop is much more likely to fail than
in former years. This failure of the
clover crop has also become a serious
damng to farmers in foreign countries.
There it is at nbuted to the land having
been cio ,ped with clover till it is said to
be clover-sick. No certain cure for this
condition of the soil has been found,
though many experiments have been
made. The most plausible hypothesis is
that the soil and subsoil are exhausted of
lime, magnesia, potash and so ia, which
are taken out of them in large quantities
by the growing crop of clover. This is
not proved to be the cause of the failure
of the crop, but in the absence of any¬
thing better it would be well to consider
it probable and make an experiment to
test it. For this purpose the most con¬
venient fertilizers to use would be kainit
and plaster, as they would supply all the
missing constituents mentioned. A mix¬
ture of the two firt lizers in equal quan¬
tities might be made, and 500 or 800
pounds of it used on an acre. It should
be applied early in tbe spring at the time
of sowing the clover seed.
How to Wnu m. Coif.
E. M. W. writes: Leavo the calf*
with the cow a few days, and also a
home mado calf feeder. Several years’
experience has convinced me that it A

fore it has sucked at all. And, while
you are about it, make a calf feeder by
boring a hole through tho aide of a wood¬

drawing through it a role of strong cloth,
three or four inches long, with a rubber
tube wound in the centre of it. Fastcn

There ilin'. is on Af itk.tnfc Cows, tho |
no part of the work on ;
farm which causes the proprietor greater
trouble'and anxiety than the employ- Y *
ment of ...... lured help . the . milking .... of his
in
cows; this applies with increased force
to extensive dairies. The great bulk of
the hired help 1 of the day consists of
. . , , , . *j .
milk in their native lands, for the rca-
son that in those foreign countries milk-
ing the cows is done almost entirely by
the women. Hence in many eases the
American dairyman is forced to break in
new hands to the business.
Milking demands the exerc se of gen-
tlencss and patience on the part of the
milker. In order that a cow may bc
made fairly profitable to h<*r owner ‘it is
important that she should be made to
feel that the milker is her friend, from
whom she has nothing to fear, Bhe
should be taught to anticipate nothing
hut kind treatment cacli and every tiino
he approaches her. Under such proper
conditions the cow will never got ex¬
cited, and will be ready to yield her
milk freely and without restraint, always
presuming the milker's ability and dis¬
position to draw the fluid smoothly and
aapidly. Unless this is accomplished the
cow will not yield her full quantity of
milk.
la practice, there are many bad
workers among the hired help, who are
capable of doing well were it not that
they are indifferent, work leisurely, stop
and talk one with another or with a
caller, and finally spend as much time in ■
milking one cow as should be consumed
in milking two animals. Far better
that the milker should apply his mind
and hands vigorously to the woik before
him for the needed time to milk the cow,
then take a rest if necessary, and a time
for talk, rather than to allow either to
interfere with regular and swift milking.
All talking should be omitted whilo
drawing the milk. j
Even under the most favorable condi-
tions, and with the most capable help
that can be secured, dairymen sustain
considerable losses in the possible
product of their cows. But when the
negligence, temper and passion of hired
helpintervene, still greater losses must
be incurred. Cows should never be
vexed , or worned . , . by man, , boy, or dog. ,
The surroundings of a cow should he
such as to make her comfortable and
free from annoyance or excitement.— E.

Meat Market Notes.
The history of Guernsey furnishes a
cur ious and perhaps instructive instance
of the kind of uses that paper money
ma y serve, It was determined to build
a meat market, and £4,000 were voted to
defray the cost. Notes were issued by
the authorities for that amount, and were
guaranteed on the “whole of the proper¬
ty of the island, said to be worth four
millions,” These notes were worthless
ou tside of Guernsey, anti so they were
never exported. They were one-pound
notes, and were numbered from 1 up to
4,000. With them the contractor was
paid, he paid his workmen in the same
money, and those that supplied him with
materials. Tradesmen took them for
j goods, landlords for rent, and tho au-
thorities for taxes. “In due season,”
t0 q Uote f rom Jonathan Duncan, “the
market was complete. The butcher’s
stall, with some public rooms construct-
ed over them, were let lor an annual rent
of £400. At the first year of tenancy,
the States called in the first batch of
notes, numbered 1 to 400, and with
the £100 of real money received
; for rent, redeemed the £400 of
representative money expressed by
tbe iji l>id Market Notes.’ At the end
j through of ten years, the all application the notes were of ten redeemed year’s
rental; and since that period the meat
market has returned a clear annual r ve-
nue t0 tbe states, and continues to af-
ford accommodations without having
cost a farthing in taxes to any inhabi¬
tant.”— Cassell's

restored to health by theuso of this invalua-
