FACTS FOR THE FARMERS.
IIAXDY HINTS TO HAVE ABOUT
THE HOUSE.
Tin- Unlatetn. an General rnrpooe Cattle—
A Hatch nf Note* and Suggestions
that will Itcpny the Farmer In
Head Over Carefully.
Whether any jiurticular breed can lay
clnim to the distinction of “geueral-purjioso
cattle" remains in dispute. Our breeders
have so separated the nuinerons breeds ns
to give each its particular place and classi
fication. with but one duty to perform, in
which it shonid excel, and restrlsting none
in its eapwity as milk, beef or butter pro
ducers. Hut while the genera Ipurpose cow
must be one that completely fnltill* all ex
pectations, there are cases in which a near
approach to the various requisites may sin
gle out one particular breed as best suited;
and that breed is the Holstein.
To award the palm of merit to any par
ticular breed is to create an opposition to
anch claim on the part of rivals, and the
advantages possessed by the Holsteins must
be claimed only upon their records and per
formances. As butter producers they have
challenged the Jerseys, and even held the
lead over them for awhile, as may be cited
in the case of Mercedes; and in their records
as bntter producers for a long period of
time they are still snjierior to the Jerseys.
Bnt it must be admitted that the latter are,
without doubt, the best butter producers ns
a class, and the breeders of the Holsteins
are sutistled with being able to strongly
compete with the Jerseys. As milk pro
ducers the Holsteins have no equal, that
quality being the one particular point in
which they excel. With records so close
to 100 pounds of milk daily us to make it
possible that hundreds of cows will soon
exceed that quantity, and with butter
records os high as thirty pounds per week,
the breed may rightly be classed ns “gene
ral purpose” for the dairy. And in addi
tion it also invades the dominions of the
Shorthorn and Hereford, and competes with
them in beef production.
Sevend enterprising breeders have caused
valuable animals to be slaughtered in order
to test the value of the breed for beef. A
three-year-old recorded bull weighed alive
on day of lulling pounds, and dressed
1430 pounds, and after deducting tallow the
percentage of offal was only 20. The calves
of the Holsteins make remnrknblo growth,
Blnck Prince, owned in New York, making
in twenty-one days a gain of 148 pounds, or
at the rate of seven pounds daily; and it is
not unusnol for them to gain 100 pounds
per month on an average for a herd Ex
traordinary growth is common, calves at
six months old often weigh G00 pounds,
while Jaap 4th, at 11 months, weighed 1200
pounds. A lot of yearling heifers averaged
1021 pounds, and that, too, after undergo
ing an ocean voyage.
Here we have, in the Holstein, not only
the ability to produce large amounts of but
ter but to yield milk heavily as well as to
make rapid gain in weight at all ages and
stages of growth. They certainly come ns
near being a general purpose breed as could
be expected, and answer the purposes of all
classes of farmers. It is not claimed that
tho Holsteins nre n beef-producing breed.
That honor belongs elsewhere. Their chief
characteristic is the giving of large quanti
ties of milk, but in addition to that quality
they possess a value as batter and beef pro
ducers that adds to their usefulness to more
ways than one, and this combination is not
to be found in any other breed in such ex
cellence. While the ideal general purpose
animal cannot be correctly discrihed in
anch terms os to satisfy the desires of nil,
yet any breed that eomhinca the three
great essentials in successful cattle raising-
milk, bntter and beef—ao closely as to rival
the breeds that excel in certain lines of pro
duction is anrely entitled to the distinction
of “general purpose."
In hu atmosphere that is moist enough to
suit plant-life dower-pots get green in time.
In washing such if a little chloride of lime
be put in the water it will he a longer time
beforo they will become green again.
One of the best known means of destroy
ing the aphis is to give the vines or hushes
n dusting of Persian insect powder. This
remedy is an excellent one for all kinds of
insects, and will not damage the plants.
One of the advantages of rye over wheat
ia that it can be grown on the lightest sandy
soil, especially if manured, and it provides
the earliest and best pasture in the spring,
as well as yielding a crop of grain in sum-
Potash is said to be a preventive of rust
on blackberries. ^Thorough cultivation and
tho d'jrtraotinnl^of the old wo.si by tire
should also be done. The potash tiny be
applied either in tho shape of wood ashes or
in the ferr *? t'S-'h calls.
Neats lor Hens,
An empty barrel makes the best nest for
a sitting hen. It may be set ont in the yard
or the orchard, and be safe from rain or
storm, and if closed by a loose door in the
front at night, there will be no danger from
vermin. A dour barrel is sunk in the
ground for one-fourth oi{onc-third its diame
ter, sloping it a little forward, to prevent
rains from nesting iu. The excavntwl earth
is filled back into the barrel, a neat being
made in the center of it. This makes a
very convenient arrangement, and gives sn
earth bottom to the nest, with every facility
for controlling the hen and the chicks. If
these nests are scattered about the yard,
hens will take possession of them, and
when qne takes to setting, she may be fur
nished with eggs, and closed up with a
slutted door, or a coop act in front of the
barrel, and protected from disturbance by
other hens. The coop will eerve for feeding
and watering the hen, and allow her a place
for exercise. As one rarely has tbiuga
ready when they are wanted for use, it T»
well to look after sneb things as these in
time, especially when early chicks are
raised. Where barrels are not to be had
conveniently, coops made in the shape of
small sheds, and weather-proof, with loose
doors to dose them at night, cun be made
through the winter, in readiness for the
early setters.
Farm Note**
Cornstalks cat and fed green make good
food for brood mares.
Clean hen houses and runs will bring in a
good share of clean profits.
The average annual yield of wheat in
France is sixteen bushels per acre.
Mix some copperas with the whitewash
for your cellar walls. It is not wholesome
for vennin.
Agriculture cannot be carried ont by any
rigid rale. The soil of no two fields is pre
cisely alike, or benefited by the same
treatment
Blow cayenne pepper into cracks where
ants congregate. Ants don’t like it Mice
will also feel insulted and turn their tails

A dock laborer of London is said to have
raised a date palm from seed, in a dingy
tenement house, and by means of it to have
secured the first prize at a recent dower
show.
A barrel contains 41-2 ooUU feet A
bushel contains a shade more than 1 1-4
solid feet A solid foot of water weighs
G2 1-2 pounds. An sere contains 43,240

A writer in the Beekeepers’ Journal says
that, as an offset to the record* of horses
and cows, he had a colony of bees that pro
duced titty-five pounds of hqney in three
and s half days.
A dnek will lay 1G0 egg* a year and will
begin when six months old. The duck
ling* grow much faster than chicks and
come in at a time for market when the beet
prices tor ducks have passed.
Somebody claims to have discovered a
new use for peaches ia the making of peach
wine. It is said to be the finest flavored
wine aver discovered, and bids (air to bo-
come a favorite and profitable beverage.
A mam of crocuses or snow-drops cannot
be well grown in one year. They ihonld
be planted in the autumn mouths, giving
them • place where they may remain nndia-
Imbed for a half a decade at leaat.
The mnlburry and peach are both quick-
growing tree*, and among the beat to plant

hen* will oL;o ns.uat in destroying the in
sects that attack the trees, us well as ferti
lizing the ground around them.
During last year bees in Ohio gathered
1,731,0:15 pounds of honey, estimated to be
worth 8270,1175, while the fowls produced
32,GU2,32l dozen eggs, valued at 84,8’.HI,348.
Tlie value of tho eggs was nearly equal to
that of the wool produced iu the State.
The room in which milk ia kept shonid
be at n temperature not over sixty-five de
grees. A thermometer should always he
used, and the care bestowed on regulating
the temperature will lessen the labor of
churning when that operation is performed,
The chief difficulty in teaching calves to
drink from the pail arises from too great
haste. Let the culf become hungry, warm
the food to the temperature of new milk,
give it the finger to suck, but only for a
moment, and the calf is easily taught to
drink.
Give plenty of room in the shills. Horses
and cattle need rest in a recumbent position
just as much as men, snys the Prairie Far
mer. It is not only exceedingly cruel hut
the greatest unwisdom to place them in
such uarrow stalls, or to so tie them that
they caunot lie down easily and rest.
At the fairs of the Hoyol Agricultural So
ciety of England prizes are ottered for the
best cow giving not less than eighteen qnnrts
of milk dnily. which uinst contain at least
12 per cent, of solids, including bntter fat.
This puts the animal upon a test of merit
in performance for quantity and scientific
analysis for quality.
A good boar should have a short head,
wide between the eyes, tine muzzle, lively
eyes, silky ears, soft mellow skin, long, tine,
abundant hair, but no bristles; short legs,
heavy jowl and quarters, full, short neck,
well developed organs, nnd compactly built
body. Tho sow should resetnide him in
many respects, bnt should have more length
and depth of body.
In deciding the qnestion whether to set!
the corn out of the field, or crib nnd hold
till spring "good points" to be considered
are, first, corn will shrink ten per cent, in
drying out, between husking time nnd May;
rats nnd mice will destroy at least 10 per
cent, more in any ordinary crib. It must
also be counted in the light of the danger
of loss by fire and the interest on your
money.
Orchard grass is specially adapted to
strong, rich lands. It affords pasturage
early in spring, and yields n great nmount
of after-birth. It often looks coarse, but in
renlity is tender, palatable mid nutritious.
The habit of growing iu tufts or bunches
may be overcome bv sowing the seed very
thickly and harrowing it will in the spring.
Some farmers sow it with clover, and prefer
it to timothv for that purpose.
A dairyman should endeavor to keep all
his cows fully np to the standard. In fact,
he should hnve no use for a poor cow, ns he
may easily sink the profits of his herd ‘by
keeping them, l’nrt of the herd may be
verjr profitable and yet the business lio n
losing one because the other portion does
not pay. Each cow’s milk should be tested
occasionally, and if any one is found deli
dent she shonid be disposed of.
those already affected began to recover.
The cure was complete. The remedy is a
simple one, and should not be forgotten.
The German, Flemish and Dutch women
who help husband »r father in his fields,
are strung, hardy women who rear a stal
wart race. Half the fine ladies who now-
find a few tnrns on a plaza almost too
much for them, would he all the better for
a graduated scnle of garden work. Begin
ning with a quarter of an hour a day they
would find at the close of a month that they
could easily do their two hours, and that
they nte and slept as they never had done
liefore, while they forgot that such evils ns
blue devils and nerves ever hail any exist
ence.
Peter M. Gideon, of Minnesota, who has
originated so many Silurian crab seedlings,
gove »n account of his methods. Among
other things he said: Perhaps I would not
be far from the truth to say about one to
each 5(10 seedlings will produce n fair sized
apple. There is no variety, without tho
Siberian crab in it, that can stand onr great
est extremes of climate; hence the necessity
of a cross. The best we have to operate
with nre a mass of mongrel with mongrel,
nnd nl each repetition select the best and
try ngain, planting close together to give
nature a chance to mingle.
Honey has been known to commerce
about 2,500 years. The Jews were engaged
iu trading it at Tyre, that old and honored
mart of trade in Phccnicia, some GOO years
before the Christian era, aa we are informed
in the Bible (Ezekiel, xxvii; 17). Sifnch,
who also lived about thut time, mentions it
with flour, milk, etc., among the necessa
ries ot life. Yet the scientific management
of bees has not been practiced for fifty
years. And, instead of its being enume
rated among the necessaries of lira it is too
often thought to be a luxury-. Why are
people so slowr to realize its value as a
sweet, as well as its health-giving qualities?
Does the “sting" frighten its thousands
yet? •
Upon the qnestion of feeding, nnd the
difficulty of a formula for feeding, the kind
of animal mast lie taken into consideration.
For instance, cows more readily assimilate
the nutriment of cut straw and relatively of
all woody fiihre thnu horses. Again, the
feeder must take into consideration the age
of the nnirnal and the kind of animal (cattle
and sheep require more bulky food than
horses and swine), tho natural temper and
disposition of tho nnitual, whether it is

more oats or other nitrogenized grain must

A New Jersey correspondent of the Conn-
tnr Gentleman gives tue following details
of an experiment mode with winter oats,
obtained from a Tennessee firm: “I took
the precaution to mulch with wheat straw
the naif acre sown with them. One-half
the plat killed out nnd one-half lived, or say
one-fourth of uu acre survived. The pro
duct was seventeen bushels, or at the rate
of sixty eight bushels per acre. The next
fall I sowed an aero with seed of my own
raising, without mulching. That was the
last l saw of the oats; none ever lived to
perfect seed, and I am not now sowing win
ter oats. Of course they are the proper
crop where nature intended them to grow,
hut tropicnl or semi-tropicAl plants do not
flourish profitably in northern latitudes,
and it is safe to repeat that experiments
with new and untried articles should be
made cautiously and us inexpensively as
possible."

nervous feeling In tha wheat market to day. and the
fluctuation* were numerous and "try rapid, with a
narrow range. Rumor* of tbe open rupture be
tween Rervia and Bulgaria bad tha effect or causing
the short* to corer, beside* inducing other specula
tive buying, but British consols did not show any
special change from Saturday, quoting only 1-16 de-
cliae for ths account and French securities were
quoted higher. With every advance in
wheat there waa a desire to realize,
which caused a reaction. Private advices
from tha East indicated tnat there was some buying
on the foreign account The market opened >4 to
3 higher, but new* to the effect that the Minneapo
lis millers had reduced price* two
cents, and tbe receipts there were
heavy, caused a weaker feeling and price* de
clined The market started up again on good
» and with several fluctuations advanced to a
, above the inside figure*, eased off again
ana dosed on the regular board X higher than Kat
in the afternoon the market wee strong, prices ad
vancing to the outside for the day and closing with
December 88#, or IX higher then Satur
day. The stock • of wheat at New
York increased only about 73.out
bushels during the week. Estimates aa to tha visi
ble supply differs widely, varying from 1.390,000 to
3.600,uuu bushels increase. There waa only a light
speculative trade in corn, but the feeling waa firm,
price* being generally a shade higher than Saturday.
The receipts were large, but the firmness In wheat
helped to sustain corn, and tha cloelng quotations
were X to X higher. Oats were steady and firm,
with Migrations to ), higher. Provisions were
fairly active, with maaa pork dosing a shade highre
and lard unchanged.
