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.— American Agriculturist. 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 better to let the calf run with its mother a few days—till the milk is fit to use at lenst—if what the calf leaves is milked out day. , ...... It U better , for th> .. cow every if her udder is raked, and, otherwise it makes little difference. It is far better for the calf, since it gets its milk natural- teaeh a ralf »■ fTS to drink after «■» it has “ suckcd the cow for a few days (ban bo 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¬ en pail clo-e to the bottom, and tightly drawing through it a role of strong cloth, three or four inches long, with a rubber tube wound in the centre of it. Fastcn the inner end of the roli to the inside of the paii with a few tacks and hem down the edge of the cloth a id it is done, nrt:.**rvir-jr tube to a baby’s nursing bottle. The milk will nin slowly through this teat into the calf’s mouth and it soon begins to suck. After a few days teach it to suck in the usual way, by letting it suck ****.......... through the feeder and drink the rest out of the pail.

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. D. Richard». i !

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 Author of llto ‘*Sweet Bye anti Bye.” According to one version the poem was written by Dr. It.
