FARM AND GARDEN.
MjTo Grow Tomatoes in Po -fection.
■ Because the generous nature of the
■omato yields bountifully with seemingly
little care and attention, says C. L.
fo.llen, in the American Agricult //• i*t, the
general impression prevails that the plant
frequires but little attention. This is a
sad mistake, for there is not a vegetable
in the ga' den that is so gross a feeder,
nor one that readily pays for ail the food
and care given as the tomato. To grow
it to the greatest perfection, the hills
ifhould be dug out to the depth ot two
and a half feet; at the bottom there
should be a half bushel of well-rotted
manure; above this let-the soil be an
equal mixture of loam and manure
thoroughly mixed. The hills shou dbe
least six feet apart. Let the situation
be open, warm, airy. When the fruit
begins to set mulch with dean straw or
very small brush. Under these condi
tions six plants will furnish sufficient
tomatoes fora family of twelve | ersons.
Whatever variety may be p’'» > this
manner, the result will show *, r __imens

Modern Improvement in Farming.
Among the many helps to make farm
ing easier in the last few years, says a
farmer in the New York World, "the
windmill should not be forgotten. It is
nme of the greatest boons to the stock
►raisers that has ever been in use. Where
fifty or seventy-five head of cattle are
kept—and this is not an unusual num
ber—to water them for one day suffi
ciently, would require the time and
•strength of one man at the pump for two
hours, and nothing is more fatiguing,
Shereas with wind power it is easily
one. Ten years ago a windmill was
quite an unusual sight, now the Western
prairies are dotted over with them.
Wherever practice has shown their im
perfections they have b en improved,
mne are made so that when the wind is
too strong the fans that compose the
wheel, close together, so that it must
nee .s go slowly. Some wheels are made
so that they turn edgewise to the wind
when not pumping, thus being safer
from damage. A lever keeps them in
gear when the wind would otherwise
throw them out.
The tower, in whose top the large
wheel is fixed, must needs be higher
than any adjacent tree tops or they will :
intercept the wind when it is de-irable
to turn the mill; unless the tower ex
ceeds the gable in height, the wind when
in some quarters, will come whirling
around the building to the risk of dam”
age to the wheel. Many dig the large
stock well, over which the mill is reared,
in front of the barn, and with iron pipes
conduct the water underground, after it
has been pumped, to the \ats in the dif
ferent yards where the cattle are kept.
This plan gives the cattle purer water to
drink than if the well were sunk in the
yards.
One of the greatest inconveniences at
tending the use of windmills are the ice
storms which occasionally occur.
f The ice adheres to the fans in the
wheel, obstructing the working of it,
and nothing can be done to remove it,
but wait until it thaws, which is usually
but a few hours.
The wheel at intervals needs oiling,
it needs a cool head to mount the
"adder, which is always a part of the
frame, and oil the works.
Sometimes a gale will strike the wheel,
which is usually about ten feet across,
with such force that it falls to the ground
fc and is demolished, when it must be re
placed by a new* one. It is found that
the higher the tower on which the wheel
rests, the less it is likely to be injured
by high winds, as a gale expends its
force for mischief nearer the earth than
is supposed.
Windmills wear much iaster on ac
count of the wind power which runs
them.
Domestic Cheese Making.
Some famil'es desire to make the
cheese for family use. It is true cheese
cannot be made of such uniform texture
and quality as where all the appliances
are at hand, as in a wed ordered cheese
factory. Nevertheless, by using ca;e, a
better cheese may be made than is du
ally found in country stores. The very
best rennet must be used, and proper
attention be paid to the temperature of
the milk during the process of manufac
turing. The rennet (the fourth stomach
of a calf, before it has eaten grass) should
be at least six months old—one year is
better—and must have been kept per
fectly dry. Put a good sound rennet in
a gallon crock containing three quarts of
warm water, a teacup lull of salt, and if
a handful of sage leaves are added it will
give a delicate sage flavor to the cheese.
Soak three days, or until a teaspoonful of
the rennet extract stirred in a teacupful
ol milk will curdle it in fifteen minutes.
The strength is then right. Then take
out the rennet, dry again thoroughly,
and it will then do to soak again with a
fresh rennet. Strain off the liquid ex
tract into bottles, tightly corked-, and
keep in as cool a place as possible.
To make whole milk cheese, -strain
the milk in a clean tin boiler, setting it
on the range, where it will remain at
near blood heat, or say 85 degrees. Stir
in a gill of the liquid rennet to sixty
pounds (thirty quarts) of milk. Stir
until thoroughly mixed. Let it stand
for twenty minutes, or until curdled;
the curd should be ready for cutting by
that time. Cut in squares, so the whey
may separate from the curd; heat
gradually to not over 96 degrees, let
stand till the whey rises to the top of
curd, then break the curd in pieces with
the hand, carefully, so as not to start
the white whey, and thus lose some of
the richness of the cheese. When the
curd is pretty well broken—do not
hurry this operation, break up very
gently—raise the temperature by a
gradual heat till the curd is scalded
sufficiently, not over 110 degrees, then
dip into a muslin strainer, laid over a
rack; or spread over a good-sized
market basket, so as to allow the whey
to drain from the curd. The curd
must be cut fine and worked all the time
it is heating, so it will not adhere to
gether. When the whev is drained off,
salt and put curd immediately to press.
This pressure should be gradually in
creased.
If one has not sufficient milk to make
to cheese at one setting, the curd from
the first lot can be hung away in a cool
place before salting, and remain until
the next batch is ready for scalding;
t hen it can be cut fine and added to the
fresh curd when it is being scalded, and
treated tha same as if freshly made. It
is much more work to make cheese from
th s double curd process than from one
setting, and liable to a less successful
result.
l'iie curd may be salted at the rate of
near half an ounce of salt to each pound,
say three ounces to six or seven pounds.
This salting is not so much for flavoring
as to check the tendency to putrefactive
formation. The saline taste in old cheese
is due not so much to the salt used as to
the formation of ammoniac al salts in the
process of repressing. The pressure on
the cheese in the press must be regulated
by circumstances up to 1500 to 2000
pounds.
M hen the cheese is taken from the
press it should be bandaged with cheese
cloth to keep jt from spreading. The
temperature of the curing room should
be about 04 degrees. The higher the
temperature the quicker the ripening.
Tut n every day, greasing with whey but
ter as occasion may require, to prevent
era king, or in lieu of this with un
salted butter. After the cheese becomes
firm, turn only as occasion may require,
the ripening pro ess requiring two or
three months.— Farm, Field and Slock

Farm and Garden Notes.
Secure good seed corn early.
Starving hens make a lean egg-basket.
Baby lambs and calves need good care.
Succulent food makes succulent milk.
Stables should certainly be cleaned
daily.
Pears do well where the land is half Id
grass.
A good tree well set needs no tying to
stakes.
Add scalded milk to oatmeal for grow
ing calves.
It is not well to allow cattle and swine
to run together.
Dirty boots are as much out of place
on hay as on the carpet.
Buckwheat is recommended for soil
infested with wire-worms.
Old orchards should be manured and
plowed, using lime and ashes.
Wood ashes, where available, are the
cheapest fertilizer for fruit trees.
It is usually necessary to moisten eggs
a little just before hatching in nests built
“high and dry.”
For the first month five times a clay is
recommended for feeding young chick
ens, by a correspondent of Poultry World.
Sulphur, insect powder and kerosene
should be used freely in preventing the
spread of and in destroying poultry
vermin.
Currants would give better satisfaction
if not so generally slighted. They repay
very liberally for pruning, manure, and
culture.
Lay in a stock of copper sulphate and
whatever other materiais are needed, at
an early date. And don’t forget the
spraying pump and nozzle.
On many farms it will pay better to
i build a large poultry yard to pen the
! chickens in, than to build a much longer
| fence to pen the chickens out.
' It may be a pleasure for farmers to try
some of the fancy breeds, but the most
profit comes from adopting one of the
general purpose kinds and breedmg it
straight.
Old pear trees that have apparently
been worthless have been revived by the
application of a peck of salt and ashes
scattered around the base. Now is the
time to try the method.
In pruning roses cutting back closely
produces, as a rule, fewer blossoms of
finer quality, while from those not so
closely pruned will be obtained a larger
quantity of smaller flowers.
In planting peach and quince trees
they should be given a rich, mellow soil.
Old trees may be materially benefited if
the branches are carefully thinned out
and a good dressing of well-decayed
manure is given over the surface of the
roots.
Pays the New England Farmer: “A
farmer will spend a day in carting some
fertilizer for which he has to pay a good
price, when for the same time spent lie
might have had something just as valu
able by carefully collecting the drop
pings trorn under the roosting fowls.”
Plant raspberries in rows five feet
apart and three feet in the row. Black
berries in rows eight feet apart and thre6
feet in the row. Strawberries may be
set in rows three feet apart, and twelve
inches in the row. The soil should be
fertile, but good cultivation counts much.
Llowever great possibilities there may
be in poultry raising, the plan adopted
by many farmers causes a loss of far
more fruit, and “garden truck ” and
grain, than the ch’ckens are worth. In
telligent management and feeding are as
necessary with chickens as with other
live-stock.
No one need expect to get sound,
healthy chickens from eggs laid by hens
that have been coddled into good-for
nothingness all through the winter
months. The constitution as well as the
other characteristics of a chicken is de
termined by the health and condition or
its parents.
Speaking of pasturing, a New Eng
lander says; “In my opinion a farmer
can keep a sheep with every cow with
out any additional expense. A farmer
keeping twenty cows will find he has
just as much food if he has kept twenty
sheep with them, and they are just as
well nourished.”
Wood ashes are one of the best possi
ble fertilizers for young trees, whether
fruit or ornamental trees. It should not
be put directly on the roots, but worked
into the soil, as it is filled in after the
tree has been set. land plaster mi<rht
also be used in the same way. eithei
alone or in connection with the wood
ashes. The ashes and plaster might also
be broadcasted about the trees and
plowed or spaded in.
The best treatment for mange in pigs
is to apply a mixture of flowers of sulphur
and common lard. Apply this ointment
to every part of the animal, rubbing it
into the hair and skin with a good stiff
brush. The pigs should, of course, be
remo'ed from the old pen and placed in
one perfectly clean. One application
will usually be sufficient to effect a cure,
unless the disease has been neglected
until the animdis covered with sores;
then two or three applications may be
necessary.

WOULD NOT LIVE PRISONERS.
A Sad Story of the Captivity of a
Colony of Prairie Dogs.
“When I was a little boy my father
moved from Hoosierdom over upon a
i broad and blooming prairie in Illinois,”
said a man to a reporter of a Chicago pa
[ per. “That prairie, stretching as far as
the eye could reach to the north and
west, was one vast garden of flowers and
plants from April to November. There
must have been a hundred varieties of
wild, blooming plants, ranging from the
lowly strawberry, with its white blossom,
to the gaudy, flamboyant wild marigold,
whose oriental splendors gave vivi d color
to miles and miles of undulating prairie.
“But this by the way. 1 started in to
speak or the prairie dogs. The flowers
were scarcely more numerous than they.
You might ride for miles along a path
flanked on either side by their villages,
which were seldom more than a few rods
apart. These villages,always on some lit
tle knoll or hill, were populous. The
horseman who approacned one of them
would see a sentinel gravely motionless
at the door of every burrow. One could
scarcely tell these sentries from bits of
wood, so still and straight were they, so
much a part of the great, silent land
scape.
“But if ever there was a case of ‘now
you see it and now you don’t,’ those little
sentinel prairie dogs offer the traveler a
striking example. He sees them there,
as silent and impressive as the sentries
of Pompeii, and wonders what they will
do when he gets closer. He keeps his
eye fixed on two or three of them, and
unconciously checks his horse, so that
the clatter of hoofs may not startle
them. He is within fifty, thirty, twenty
paces, when lo! the sentries are gone.
He has not seen them go. The earth
has swallowed them. He rubs his eyes
and he rrdes on. wondering if it were
all an illusion. He looks back to assure
himself, when lo! the sentries are there
as still and statuesque as before.
“One time my father trapped four or
five of them. I don’t know how he man
aged it; I’ve forgotten that. I think
they must have been young and foolish,
like baby rats, which venture where
their pa and ma would never go. My
father brought them home, and we chil
dren hugged ourselves in delight as we
fancied them as pretty pets like squir
rels or white rabbits. A cage was quick
ly fitted up; the captives were placed in
it and surronnded by all the dainties
which we fancied could tempt them to
forget their captivity. Our parents kept
us away from the cage, as the little
strangers regarded us with a terror
which they did not attempt to conceal.
But we went to place more food before
them the next morning. The food pre
viously provided had not been touched.
The little prisoners sat wearily on their
haunches in the dark extremity of their
cell. Childish curiosity was repressed >
till the second morning, when the cage
was again visited. The captives sat in
the same position, aud no morsel of the
varied bill of fare with which we had
designed to tempt them had been touch
ed. The water was undiminished in the
bowl. Another day passed, the third
morning came, and we ran out to see our
pets. The sight that met our eyes I
shall never forget. In their hunger and
despair the poor captives had eaten their
own feet. The bloody stumps were a
sad and sickening reproof to oar cruelty
in depriving the children of the prairie
of their wild, sweet liberty. We felt it,
children as we were, and silently, almost
in tears, we opened the prison door and
slipped away to give the captives oppor
tunity to escape. But it was too late.
With their little feet gnawed off up al
most to their little bodies, they could
scarcely more than drag themselves out
into the grass, where they soon after :
died.”
