POWDER
Absolutely Pure.
This powder never varies. A marvel of
purity, strength and wholesomeness. More
economical than the ordinary kinds, and
cannot be sold in competition with the
multitude of low tests, short weight, alum
or phosphate powders. Sold only in cans.

GARDENING.
Some seeds can be sown now to ad
vantage. There is much pleasant and
open weather in November and De
cember, and those who have gardens,
may risk the sowing of the following
seeds if done at once, pouring wa-
ter over the rows when sowing if
the ground is dry to expedite their
coming up; namely, cabbages, beets,
turnips, carrots, radishes, kale, pars
nips, lettuce, rape, onion sets, salsify,
and spinach. These are all hardy.
Long collard seeds, too, may be sown
to advantage. They are the hardiest
of all when sown early, so as to be
large enough to use for the table dur
ing the winter months; they are as
sweet and good as any of the cabbage
tribe after several hard frosts. If the
real collard plants can be obtained
it will be a gain in time to get them;
they will continue to grow through
the' winter months, and the under
leaves can be pulled olf for use as
wanted. It would be better to sow 7
these seeds, which we have specified,
in the early part of October but it is
not too late to sow them in the early
part of November.
Button onions, set out now, will
grow' through the winter and afford
large bulbs in the spring. We refer
to thi3 matter because most of the
people who have gardens, give up all
attention to it, imagining that their
work would avail nothing more until
the next spring. Let any one who
doubts take a good large sized bed in
the garden, spade it up well, manure
it and plant upon it two or three rows
of each of the vegetables specified,
and the result will satisfy him of the
utilj^y of the plan. If the bed is large
enough all the seeds, referred to, may
be planted upon it, letting the rows
be about 1(5 inches apart. This, we
would state, is merely intended for
the seeds specified, Of course all
know that fine vegetables can be
grown in the fall as well as in the
spring if the seasons are favorable,
but a drouth of over two months this
fall has prevented any reasonable suc
cess.
The Onion.—'Unlike most other
root vegetables, the onion while
voung needs but little cultivation
more than what is given in keeping
them clear of weeds. They should be
kept perfectly clean, but it is not ne-
cessarv, as many suppose, to keep the
ground constantly stirred up along the
drills. In fact, it is injurious, for the
plants must throw out a large circular
mass of rootlets near the surface of
the ground as a preparatory means
to the growth of the bulb, which par
tially projects above ground. If the
bulb o** root was to be found wholly
below the surface, there would be
some reason for keeping the ground
loose at all times during the growth of
the root, so that it need not be com
pressed by a hard soil and thus kept
in check.
When the bulbs are about half
formed, the gardener should go
through each drill and remove the
earth from about those that are deeply
imbedded. If this is not done, they
will have long, thick necks, with only
a slight enlargement at the bottom,
where the bulb ought to be. This is
not a long job, and it will pay well for
the time spent.
Transplanting-.—I)r. Robbins a
successful and experienced horticul
turist, says: “I don’t allow the roots
of either trees or plants to be exposed
to the winds and sun for over a few
minutes when trans-planting. I dig
ample holes southern will be no crowd
ing, cut off any broken roots (though
I endeavor not to have any such)
spread them out in a natural position,
fill with good soil, which I work in be
tween the roots well, and then press
firmly down. In conclusion, I spread
over the surface a thick mulch. In
this way I have had great success
both with plants and shrubs.”
Meadows.—‘‘I believe that dull
knives, revolving horse rakes, and
spring and free pasturing destroys
more meadows than all the torrid
rays of the sun, and my advice is,
keep your knives sharp, use none but
a sulky rake, and never jiasture your
meadows except there be a very heavy
growth of grass; then only late in the
fall, to keep the mice from burrowing
therein and subsisting on the grass
roots during the winter months. E.
H. Owen, Pa.
The advantage of mangel wurzel
over beets is that, with care in keep
ing, they are even better in the spring
than beets while the latter cannot be
profitably fed much after the 1st of
March.
Hones, Cows, in Green Fields.
While agricultural writers urge the
cultivation of green food for horses
and other cattle, none advocate sud
denly turning horses or cows into
rich, green rye, or oat fields to remain
in them for many hours, or long
enough to bloat them. We have
known cases of death to both horses
and cows from this imprudence. It
is always dangerous to let any kind
of stock suddenly run at iarge on
green fields of any kind, even rich
meadows of common grass, where they
have been fed lor sometime on ordi
nary pastures, with hay, bran, boiled
peas, &c., such as are usually given
to milch cows. When it is desired to
turn them on the agricultural grasses
such as clover, orchard, lucerne, &c.,
they should be turned off in half an
hour and the time should be extend
ed by degrees, and even then they
should have, at night, a feed of hay
or shucks or other dry food. We
have repeatedly urged the growing
of winter crops, but have invariably
urged this policy for safety to the
animals. These green foods fill their
stomach with gas which is attended
with colic and dangerous distention,
and not unfrequently the death of
the animals. There is great danger
in this distension and when it occurs,
the cow, or horse, should be drench
ed with half a gill of the spirits of
aniseed in half a pint of warm water.
This is good for colic, flatulency and
spasmodic affections of the bowels.
If this is not at hand, give a pint of
strong peppermint tea, while warm,
with two tablespoonsful of soda dis
solved in it. Follow either of the
above with four tablespoonsful of
epsom salts in half a pint of warm wa
ter. ! If not materially relieved in an
hour, fill an eggshell with tar and put
it down the throat.
Another remedy said to be very
efficacious is half a gill of soft soap in
a pint of milk.
These remedies may be repeated in
an hour or two, if the first doses fail
to give relief.
Never turn the animals into green
lots if wet with rain, nor in good
weather, until the dew is evaporated
by the sun or air.
To administer the eggshell of tar,
two men must hold the cow’s head
straight, a third will hold the tongue
to the right side and the shell can
then be easily put dov T n the throat.
A Boston paper, the American Cul
tivator, says that “in sixty-three
years, more than 12,000,000 immi
grants have arrived in the United
States. But for these and their de
scendants, agricultural progress could
scarcely have been pushed beyond
the Mississippi, and the resources
of this country could not have been
developed to one-half the present ex
tent. The immigration now aver
ages 750,000 a year, and despite the
preponderance of foreigners in some
cities, most of the new-comers find
homes on the farm.”
To Fatten Sheep.—In England a
feed of cotton seed and turnips is said
to be largely used as a quick method
of fattening sheep. It is stated that
it makes the best mutton at the least
expense. It is also added that this
feed produces the strongest manure.
It may not be generally known that
the Duke of Atliole is one of the
most extensive tree planters in the
world. There are already vast woods
and plantations in Atliole and Dunk-
eld, Scotland, and, as of course, they
exist for use as well as ornament,
large numbers of trees have to be plant
ed annually to maintain the woods.
Indeed, every year the Duke plants
from 600,000 to 1,000,000 trees. During
this season, a plantation covering
2.000 acres has been completed. When
the Planter Duke began operations on
a large scale In 1774, the Dunkeld hills
were almost bare. During his life the
Duke, who may be described as a true
benefactor to his country, planted
27,000,000 trees, covering an area of
15.000 acres.

Farmers sometimes forget the fact
that “the earliest planting of any seed
in the spring should not be put in
deeply. This is especially important
for sweet corn, which is more apt to
rot in the ground than the field vari
eties. The wrinkled garden peas are
sweeter than the others, but if put in
very early should be drilled more
thickly in the row to allowforfailures.
With good seed, a pea every inch in
length of row will be none too close.
It is told that “a prominent Iowa pig
breeder keeps his hogs, except when
fattening, on artichokes. He says on
good land this crop will produce more
hog feed per acre than any other crop.
Iowa is one of the largest corn and,
hog producing States in the Union,
and it sounds rather strangely to he&r
of anything cheaper than corn at the
West.”
It is well to remember that “green
manures produce the best results on
sandy or gravelly soil, deficient in
vegetable matter. On black soil, es
pecially if wet, it is better to feed the
green crop and put the food on in the
shape of manure. The nitrogen is in
better shape, and there is less danger
of humic acid from slow decomposi
tion of green herbage in cold soil.”
“Will it pay to raise artichokes as
food for hogs?” This comes from a
correspondent of the Courier-Journal.
All the evidence favors the view that
it will pay.
