LEGHORNS THAT SIT.
The Leghorn is a non-sitter, but the
sitting propensity is not entirely lost,
as Leghorns will sit if they are too
closely confined and are fed too highly.'
Wo buve known them to make the best
of sitters and mothers, and they are
also somewhat pugnacious, defending
their young bravely against all ene¬
mies. When a Leghorn becomes broody
she must not be condemned because
she is inclined to bring off a lot of
chicks, for she is not at fault, as the
conditions of management govern the
matter.—Farm and Fireside.
TO MAKE A PERMANENT PASTURE.
It is. very doubtful if it will pay any
farmer to spend the needed money to
make a permanent pasture, such as we
read of being kept up in European
countries, unless the land is to be irri¬
gated, when the work may be done
with ease. Otherwise one of our hot,
dry spells in summer may so injure
the grass as to ruin the meadow. The
work, however, is done as follows:
The hind is first summer fallowed, to
get riil of weeds; then richly manured
and fertilized; then reduced to the
finest tilth by repeated plowings and
harrowings; then sown with such a
variety of grasses as will renew them¬
selves as far as possible without seed¬
ing, these kinds being those with
spreading roots mostly. The bulk of
the grass is Kentucky blue, meadow
fescue, red fescue, fowl meadow, red
top, oat and rye grassos, of each about
twenty pounds. This seeding makes
a thick growth, and the well-prepared
soil soon has a thick sod on it. Then
this is preserved by frequent fertiliz¬
ing, moderate grazing, and fresh seed
occasionally.—New York Times.
CULTIVATION AS A FERTILIZER FOB WHEAT.
Experiments in wheat culture
through five years, at the New York
Cornell University Station by I. P.
Roberts, indicate that on strong or
clayey landR it is often more economi¬
cal to secure available plant food by
extra culturo than by the purchase of
fertility. In many strong wheat soils
there is more plant food than the
variety of wheat grown can utilize,
though enough may not be available
to produce a maximum crop. In
changeable climates the wheat plant
is so handicapped at times for want
of suitable climate conditions, that it
is unable to appropriate much of the
available plant food in tho soil, and
hence is not often benefited by ad¬
ditional nourishment. The wheat
crops in the experiments proved un¬
able to elaborate more food than the
amount furnished by the soil under
the superior culturo given some of the
plats. The fitting of the land for most
crops is dono so badly that under cer¬
tain conditions even u moderate
amount of manure or fertilizers may
not only fail to increase tho vield, but
may be positively harmful to the
wheat crop to which thoy are applied.
—American Agriculturist.
THE MODERN ORCHARD.
A change has come over public
opinion. The thick setting of trees
in orchards has been largely aban¬
doned, and wide planting is the
general jiraetice. Such excellent re¬
sults hoye been obtained from the
change that many progressive farmers
have gone still further. Observing
that the trees at the ends of the
orchard were always the most flourish¬
ing, they naturally set to work to dis¬
cover the cause for the difference.
The explanation was soon found in
the greater amount of air and sun the
end trees received, and the more ex¬
tended feeding-ground for the roots.
Nowadays the tendency among pro¬
gressive growers is to plant a single
row T of trees around a field, and a
double row directly aeross the centre
of the field. This gives each tree the
advantages formerly possessed by the
end trees alone. It also makes the
orchard less dispersed than it would
be if the centre double row were
omitted, and offers facilities for culti¬
vating and gathering the fruit as
speedily as possible. It would seem
as though the day for planting trees
in blocks were past, and that old
fashioned orchards were doomed.—
New York World.
BUSINESS METHODS IN FARMING.
Every crop planted on the farm,
every animal bought and every mau
hired is an investment, involving
sound business judgment, in both the
planning and the management, to in¬
sure a profitable outcome. Too often
crops are planted, or stock raised,
simply because other farmers raise
them, without regard to the cost, the
market or the adaptability to the par¬
ticular farm and its equipment. When
planted, no account is kept of the ex¬
pense, and not even an estimate is
made of the cost, but the crop is sold
a* soon as harvested for what it will
bring and the crop repeated the next
season. While it would sometimes
cost more than the crops were worth
to keep a detailed Bet of accounts
with each crop, still a simple business¬
like set of farm accounts will furnish
the data whereby the profitableness of
particular crops, or stock, may be
closely estimated, and thus furnish a
safer basis than guess-work for the
abandonment of the crop, or for
changing its treatment. Many parts
of the estimates made for one year or
would answer for other years
and fields. Whether accounts are
kept with particular fields or crops oi
not, there should be an account
opened with the farm, and others with
household and personal expenses. By
taking stock each year it can be de¬
termined whether the farm has been
profitable; whether the improvements
have exceeded the repairs; whether
personal pleasures have been too ex
travagant, and whether the household
department has been economically
carried on. Of course there should be
an account for every person with whom
a credit business is transacted, for
everyone admits that memory utterly
fails in keeping an accurate record of
such transactions. Treat the farm as
a person and see whether it can be
credited with a fair balance of profit
every new year. If farming is a busi¬
ness, then the keeping of farm ac¬
counts will pay.—American Agricul¬
turist.
ACCIDENTS ON THE FARM.
While it is as desirable to employ &
veterinary surgeon in cases of severe
sickness or dangerous injuries as it is
to employ the family physician at
times, it is well to know what to do in
“emergency cases,” when something
must be done in less time than it
would take to get the regular doctor
to the spot, says a correspondent of
the American Cultivator.
One of these cases is that of chok¬
ing, which frequently happens when
roots are fed without having been cut.
If tho obstruction is not large and has
passed well down, it is often possible
to move it further along by gently
pushing down with a stick. A whip
handle rounded a little at the end is a
good instrument for this purpose.
One person should hold the animal’s
head, so as to bring the mouth and
throat in a straight line, and another
should use the stick, and at the same
time work upon the obstruction from
tho outside, rubbing it i^ownward.
Push firmly but gently on the stick.
Another method is to put a stick
about as large as one’s wrist across the
animal’s mouth like a bridle bit, and
tie it fast so as to oblige it to keep the
mouth open. This will sometimes
cause coughing, so that tho obstruc¬
tion will be thrown up, or will facili¬
tate breathing until mucous enough
has gathered around it so that it will
pass downward. If the obstruction is
not far down, the animal’s mouth may
be kept open by a horseshoe or by
blocks between the jaws, and one with
a small hand can reach down and
withdraw it. Unless something is
done soon the animal must choke to
death, and time is of more importance
than skill.
Cuts that produce profuse bleeding
are another sort of cases that need at¬
tention before a surgeon can be se¬
cured. If the blood eomes in jets at
about the interval of a heart beat it is
from an artery, and a tight bandage
between the wound and body should
bo applied, then a stout stick placed
below and twisted until tho blood
Hows but slowly. If the one who puts
it on knows enough of the course of
the arteries to bring the knot directly
over it it will hasten matters, and this
should be a part of the education of a
farmer. ,
If the blood flows in a continuous
stream put a wide bandage directly
over the wound to keep the edges to¬
gether, drawing it tightly as can be
done with the hands. A handful of
cotton, or even of green grass, under
the edges will assist, or one may hold
the edges together while another goes
for a doctor. We have seen a horse’s
life saved in this way when the leg
was badly cut by the mowing ma
chine, and a man’s life saved, by the
first method when a bullet bad cut the
artery of the arm above the elbow.
In neither case could a surgeon have
been brought in season.—Coleman’s
Rural World.

Besting the Muscles.
A dynamometer for the measure
meat of muscular strength is being
introduced for gymnasium purposes.
In future there will be uo groping in
the dark when the young college ath¬
lete is taken in hand by his trainers
for preparation for the boat race or
the football match. Every important
muscle in his body can be tested, and
its strength or weakness at once indi¬
cated. In this way man’s weak point
is discovered without serious loss of
time, and special attention can thence¬
forth be directed toward the “leveling
up” of his physique. The old method
of testing a man’s muscle by its size,
or even by its hardness, will no
longer be used, and strength tests
will supersede these unreliable Bys¬
tems of measurement. The muscular
strength of the various portions of
the arms and legs can now be differ¬
entiated, As a sample instance of the
possibilities of the new method, it
may be stated that by ascertaining the
strength of the abduetors of the leg
by the dynamometer, a bad gait can
promptly be cured, as the proper ex¬
ercise for the weakened muscles can at
once be determined. The dynamometer
is hung on two heavy iron rods,
plaeed in a vertical position, with
their ends fastened securely to the
floor. It can be adjusted to any
height—to the waist, feet or neck.
The muscles tested are directly upon
a lever w’hich is connected with a pis¬
ton working in a chamber filled with
oil. The pressure is transmitted to a
column of mercury, and the result in
pounds is recorded in a slender glass
tube. —New York Witness.
Telescopic Lenses,
Alvin Clarke, the great telescopt.
maker, in a recent lecture before the
Scientific Society of Boston, gave some
interesting facts about the manufac¬
ture of the big lenses, which bring the
stars near us. He said that it was
the invention of the achromatic lens,
a combination of a crown glass lens,
with a flint glass lens, which made the
big telescope a possibility. The great¬
est obstacle that the maker ot lenses
has to contend against is the varying
density of the glass in the same piece.
He said that he thought it doubtful
whether a piece of glass could be made
of even density, but the skilffil work¬
man, if he goes at it right, can so
work the glass as to get a perfect im¬
age. He said that when the great
Lick telescope was first tested it*
showed an image, which was neither
round ner oblong, but had more the
shape of a horse’s head than anything
else.—New Orleans Picayune.

A New Summer Drink.
An English dairy paper tells of a
new use for skim milk. After the milk
has been creamed by the centrifuge,
the skim milk is sterilized by heating
to destroy all bacteria or germs of fer¬
ment, or other possible means of in¬
jury to its keeping. The milk is then
charged with pure carbonic acid gas
at a high pressure, and placed in sy¬
phon bottles, from which it can be
drawn at any time. The milk so treat¬
ed, it is claimed, will remain sweet in¬
definitely. The medical profession
have taken hold of the carbonated
milk and are prescribing it for per¬
sons who have not been able to digest
whole milk. It is said to be very val¬
uable and most easily digested.
Now, if the scientists will furnish
some cheap anil simple means by which
the farmer can charge the milk with
carbonic acid gas, this discovery may
~be made valuable. Milk ns an article
of human diet is not used to the extent
it should be, anil if some one would
compile a milk cook-book showing the
various ways in which milk may be
made up into nutritious and appetiz¬
ing dishes, it would have a great econ¬
omic value.— Western Plowman,
Steelyard.
The last syllable of “steelyard” docs
igin aot signify a measure, but owes its or¬
to tho “yard,” or court, in London
where traders sold their steel, and which
was regulated by the “Merchants of the
Steelyard.” In this yard, or court,
there would stand some kind of balance
for weighing the metal, and this mean¬
ing soon supplanted the original word.
An English exhibitor at the World’s
