FARMS AND FARMERS. Short Talks With the Men Who Guide the Plow. QUESTIONS ON FARM TOPICS ANSWERED Winter Care of Stock. Before severe weather begins preparations for protection of animals against cold should be made. In our mild climate protection from the prevailing cold winds and from rain are all that are really necessary. These maybe had at such small cost that a farmer who does not have them is without excuse. If the farmer does not make provisions against cold, one or iwo things inevitably follows: Either an ani jnal will eat more food to keep up its tempera ture, or it will consume its own tissues to do it, and in the latter case come out of winter quarters reduced in flesh, reduced in strength and vitality, and in that condition when the horns and tail are specially supposed to be hollow, but in point of fact the whole body is hollow. Viewed therefore simply as a busi ness transaction, it resolves itself into this— which is cheaper, shelter or food? Which costs more, a rail or a pole pen, with a roof of planks, and pine brush against its sides; or the additional hay and grain an exposed animal will consume. The answer cannot bo doubtful. Planks to cover a stall 10x10 feet will not cost more than two dollars, poles not exceeding one dollar and the build ing one dollar more, or four dollars in all. The planks after the winter is over can be taken down aud stacked under shelter, and will last many years, say four years, making the total cost of shelter one collar a year. Does any one doubt that he would save a dol lar’s worth of feed from such shelter? Would not a cow thus sheltered through the winter yield more than a dollar's worth of milk aud butter compared with one on same feed drawn up and drenched with every cold rain that falls? Consider also the increased value of manure collected in these stalls and sheltered from rains. The urine of animals contains nearly all the nitrogen and potash which are thrown off by them. When the animals are kept in open lots these are practically lost. In preparing shelters it is well to take ad vantage of location aud surroundings. A southern slope and one protected from winds coming from northwest to northeast-is to be preferred. If there is no natural barrier, it would pay to set out rows of cedars, or other evergreens, and keep them trimmed so asr to make a dense hedge. Build the stalls in two lines, (if there are many,) ono set facing the southeast, the other the southwest, meeting at an angle towards the north. The two lines of Stalls will thus mutually protect each other. Against the northern sides of the stalls pile up pine brush close and dense. Have the roofs sloping towards the north, so the water will not drip on persons or cows passing in and out, and so the sunshine can enter the stalls freely, and have a ditch to carry off the water from the roofs. Such an arrangement Will cost much less than an elaborately planned barn, and will answer every pur pose. Free ventilation, with sufficient protec tion, small risk from fire, as compared with barns, may be thus secured at small expense. The question has been raised and experi ments made to show that it is true economy to Warm even the drinking water of animals dur ing severe weather. Tests show that the flow of milk is sensibly increased when a cow is supplied with warm in place of ice cold water. That which is just drawn from the well might certainly be afforded on every farm. Where cows are slopped, the slops can certainly be given warm, with little trouble or expense. Remember that in all cases, and in every form, keeping an animal warm in cold weather, is equivalent to so much food, and practically saves that much. FARM QUESTION BOX. Owenville, N. C.—ln reply to Mr. J. S. 8., Warrior Stand, Ala., T would say that I have a fine bU4gy mule that would lake tl c sluds and rim back and break out oi harness and break up the buggy. The only remedy tb.it would do any good was, to tie a rope in the ring in the halter, run it between the fore legs and tie in the rings of the britehing, and have the check-rein very slack. Than take a whip-staff three and a half feet long, with a thong two feet long, and tie five or six links of a small halter chain to the end of the whip thong. After using it the first time, the rattling of the chain in the foot of the buggy was all that was needed. Yours truly, W. H. H Locust Grove: I have no: c d several times in quiries in your paper concerning pear blight. Being a farmer and fruit-grower since the war, 1 have given the pear spec.al attention and my experience Is this: When the tree snows dampness at the ground you should then give it your attm .ion. The first tiling to stop blight is to cut oil' below the dead part, then with a sharp-pointed k life split tire bark from the largest limbs to toe trunk of the tree, being careful not to ent crossways. I have saved several ti.i; way twelve years ago which lai a bear on this year. Be sure to open the bark down to the roots. If we won id di tins every year there would be no such thing ;.s blight. Every fruit tree Should bo treated in tais way. Make the cut on the Northeast side, then toe sun will not dry it. Always cultivate tnc ground for an orchard two Years Leo e you set the trees, giving but little ma nure. Plant the trees in the hill, t > the same depth they were in the nursery, k eping the ground clean bud level, then in the spring give a liberal dress.ng Os manure around each tree, being careful not to get it against the tree. Plough the ground so as to throw it all to the trees; do this once, seeding in wheat or rye, sow in clover and nothing else. If you nave no clover, you hud better cover the ground With straw as any other grass will form a seed. The reason why clover is preferable is that it will die out in three < r four years. After it dies run cultivator a le.v inches deep, and sow down in wheat, and seed in clover again. If yon will do this you will have all the apples you can pick. If you want to sco trees grow, open the bark as de scribed above. Shape your trees the second year and you will be saved the trouble when they get older. J. H. D., South Kirtland Ohio: I inclose a slip cu from weekly of August 30, 1887. Also inclose a sample of what we call “calamus” here. Please inform me if thu S|' cimen rent is the jdnd of calamus refered to; and what is it worth, and what used fcr, where is a market, and how prepared, Ac? Ik The plant you have is the genuine Calamus; its value, or market price, we do not know. Used by druggists in some of their preparations. From statement in slip sent, there seems to be a pretty good demand for it in Baltimore. The root, or more properly procumbent stem, is gathered and washed, the roots proper cut off, and then the stem is dried aud is ready for shipment. Griffin, Ga.: If you will say to “G. W.

The irrita tion of the eye often comes from some disturb ance in the stomach. Remove this, and the hooks disappear. The slobbering of H. M. R.’s mare shows irritation of the glands about the throat or jaws. Feed wish green food and keep the bowels a shade loose by bran mashes, with an occasional bait of linseed meal. Give also a • tonic, consisting of equal parts of copperas, saltpeter and sulphur, a teaspoonful once a day every other day. After giving this two weeks change to following: Give oats and hay in place of green food and bran, and a half ounce of powdered gentian, and a drachm each of car bonate of ammonia and powdered allspice, every day. Where the irritation of the eye comes from a disposition to weak eyes (moon eyed) only palliative treatment is available. Feed as little corn as possible, give some oats, and all the green feed possible, and use as an eye wash a weak solution of bluestone. Reader, Echodell, Ga.: Do potato vines make good forage? How should they be managed? Potato vines are excellent feed for milk cows, if fed green, .Some parties have claimed that they cured them: wo have never seen it done. Cows fed on the green vines give a very superior article of milk and butter. As there are several weeks just before and after the first light frosts when the vines may be removed without material injury to the tubers, it is best to feed them during that period ; either allowing cattle to graze on them which is unobjectionable if the ground isdry—or cut ting them and feeding to stock in the stall, B. A., East Feliciana: 1. I wish to make a crop of hay,uext year. Crab grass and lespedc a both do well here, but it is late before cither can be cut; and I would like to get your advice as to what seed to plant, when to sow them and what fertilizer to use in order that I may have an early summer hay to cut. 2. Can pen-vines be baled and marketed? First—Orchard, tall meadow oat grasses aud red clover, when fully established, furnish early cuttings in the spring (May). But, sown now, they would hardly do so next spring. Sown early in September on very rich land they will do so, if the seasons are favorable. The second year after seeding you might rely on them. For cutting next spring, the most reliable crop you can start now is rye. Sow at once and manure it well, and it maybe counted on with great certainty. Must be cut when in “boot” or in the early stages of heading to bo relished by stock; gets woody and hard if al lowed to remain uncut too long. Oats sown in the spring on bottom land and cut when seed are in dough stage make excellent hay. Still later you can sow German millet, it will come in advance of crabgrass. But hardly any crop pays better than crabgrass. Plough a piece of land about the Ist of May, harrow and smooth it off—if not rich, manure it. You may count on a crop of hay with about as much certainty as on any crop grown on the farm. Stable manure, cotton seed, dr cotton seed meal, will either of them answer for any of the crops mentioned. Am moniated fertilizers also make crab grass grow finely. 2. Doubtful if it would pay. The difficulty of curing and the shedding of the leaves in handling arc obstacles in the way. It would pay a farmer better to feed all the peavines he can get to his own stock, and have the benefit of the rich manure therefrom for his own farm. Ta 11. Sunbury, N. C.: 1. I have two acres of bot tom land that I wish to put in grass. Cotton is growing on a portion of it. Some portions are wet and springy, though seldom overflows. What kind of gruss orclover to you advise to sow, audwhen? 2. I’m on 3G degrees west latitude. Will October 15 be too late to sow clover and orchard grass on high land here? 3. I wish to know how I can prevent a eolt from rearing up. Martingales have failed to keep her down. When you attempt to ride on her back she will rear up, walk on her hind feet and very often fall backwards. Rod top and white clover are best for the land described, especially for the wet part. On the dry portion, orchard grass and red clover would be better. In your locality the seeding had better be deferred tiil spring, say the first of March. 2nd. Yes. If the fall and early winter should happen to be exceptionally mild; it might do very well to sow clover and grass the middle of October, but as as a rule, they would be quite sure to be heaved out of the ground or killed. 3d. We arc not experts on this line. Can any reader give the information sought. The following is suggested on general principles: Put a strong surcingle, with a ring in the middle, underneath the breast of ani mal, and fasten a rope to the bit and to the hind leg of the animal, pc.; sing it through the ring on the surcingle. Two ropes will bo re quired, one for each foot. Let the ropes be just long enough for the animal toliold its head a little downward. Thus geared, wo do not think it et Id rear up. It could not travel, of course, but it might, in this condition, be taught to allow one to mount and sit on its back. E. E. L.,Senecn, 8. iWhat time would be best to clip the cuttings from the LeConte pear trie, and when would you set them out, and wbut is the best way to set them out? In the southern portion of Georgia, where this pear is most extensively cultivated, the practice, wo believe, is to clip the cuttings soon after the leaves fall off. The tree is then in a state of comparative rest, and is as little disturbed by pruning as at any other season. True, cuttings may be taken at any time dur ing the winter before the spring growth begins. But this pear starts out very early and cut tings should not bo taken later than the middle of February. Although a cutting put cut in early winter does not show any growth above ground till spring there are changes going on underground preparatory to and favorable to the spring growth. The incipient steps towards the formation of roots may be going on all winter, and the plant lie better prepared to respond to the first warmth of spring. The cuttings are taken from the young but well-matured wood, are made about a foot long and placed perpendicularly— not slanting—in t-lie ground, leaving only one bud, or at the outside two, above the surface. They arc put out in rows three or four feet apart, to admit cultivation, and a foot or so from each other in the row. A good many die under the best management. Please say toB. B.

There is a variety of the rut ibaga called Sweet German, which is a good table turnip, very hardy and may be sown late. Un der such circumstances it will not make large roots, but will supply most excellent "green.” 2. Early flat Dutch and yellow Aberdeen are about the best. The first may be sown later I than any other, as it matures very quickly. 2. No cabbage will make very much growth after very severe weather sets in; but if you i can get thorn started in August or early in September, flat dutch will continue to grow through November and make fincjlicads. But when they arc started late tho ground must be excessively rich, and cultivation must bo very thorough. If .1.

It may not be uninteresting to mention that while lately on a visit tofMolboume the writer went with his wi e and two little children (aged two and four) to see the Royal park, where the wild animals are kept. There, among others, they came upon a cage with four large wolves, lying sleeping on the ground. They took no notice of the writer or his wife; but the moment the younger toddled up they sprang simultaneously to their feet and made for the corner of the. cage nearest her. Not content with this, two of the largest stood on their hind feet and pressed themselves flatly against the cage, pushing their great fore-paws through the 1 a’s toward the child, ns though to get nt her, and wag ging their tails and barking frantically the whole time, their eyes riveted on her. As she walked* away they rushed across the cage, to the other cor ner, and repeated their unties. When the child ut tered a word or two, it seemed to affect the w elves singularly, and they redoubled their efforts to get hear her. The writer went again, with the same party and infant, and with the saute result. ■‘Now, the aspect of these wolves, in spile of their burking and excitement, was decidedly not feroc ious, but more resembling a great collie when at play; and the writer felt convinced no barm would have happened to the child had the wolves suc ceeded in getting to her.
