AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OF INTFSKE >T RKLiATIVE TO FARM AND GAHOiOX. The Front Gate. The front gate needs looking after. No dotfbt it has a hard time to keep itself straight and level and on the square, but it has always a weak point which is the heel or hinge post. This j>ost has to bear an enormous weight, because of the long level ago of the gate, which increases the pressure of the gate’s weight, or any other weight many times. T° remedy the general failing of the gate's, several points ffiouhl le looked to. The gate should not be any longer than r>e essary to pass a wagon driven in straight and fairly, and never crosswise. 'I he gate should be well braced, the heel post heavy, and set at least four feet in the ground, with a large unhewn butt under the surface, tamped all around with stone, and then tilled in all around with cement so as to consolidate the whole into a mass. Then a gate sill of four inch plank a foot wide should be lifted firmly between the heei post and the latch post, and covered with six inches of soil. The heel post should be eight feet above ground, and the main gate post quite as long, with a long diagonal brace, an iron rod with a screw and nut at one end is the best, from the top of this to the foot of the fiont post. Fuch a gate will not sae under any ordinary cir cumstances. —New York Times, Crows in the Corn Field. A few mornings ago, while passing through my corn-tie d, gun in hand, in tent on shooting crows that were pulling my corn, I wondeied, says a farmer in the New York World, why some Yankee had not invented something that would frighten and keep away the crows from the corn-field without killing them. I know the crows to be the farmers’ best friend and insect eater among all the birds we have. A plan or invention sug gested itself to my mind that I had never heard even hinted at. It is this: Take a cotton rope, say one-fourth of an inch in diameter, rather loosely twisted, and fasten powder crackers by inserting the fuse of the crackers through the string at any distance apart you may wish you may have them exploded from live minutes to one hour apart, which is en- 1 tirely optional. After fastening the fire crackers to the cotton string by insert ing the fuse, place them on a board in your corn-field. Straighten out your string, light at one end, and you will find it will carry the lire its entire length, exploding the tire-crackers in its pro gress whenever met, and the fire will hold to the string. If you wish a louder report than the small fire ciackers give, use the larger ones known as double headers. In damp' or rainy weather protect the string and crackers by covering with a board. Now this is a sure protection, as I have tried it and so have my neighbors, and all pronounce it a great success. It is my invention and I hereby publish it for the benefit of my brother corn-growers. It has the merit of being cheap, as it caa be run for a cent or two a day, starting it early in the morning with a string long enough to last the day. Should your corn-field be large, have two or three strings going at once. The larger lire crackers are best, as the report is louder. I would like to have my brother far mers tell me through the columns of the World of some practical way of destroy ing “live-forever” and mustard that have possession of a field. Digging is out of the question. Curing and Keeping Cheese. The stage at which to apply salt to the curd is a critical one in chee3e-making, and requires a pretty accurate test to de cide. There are several, the most cer tain being that soft peculiar feeling known as “velvety;” equal quantities of butter and whey exuding on the curd being firmly squeezed in the hand; the response to th 3 hot iron being the flavor of nice toasted cheese, etc The mois ture of cheese consists of the water of the whey still remaining, the essential and some of the volatile oil derived from the-butter, and the butter fats. In a skimmed milk or very poor cheese the proportion of whey is large, and when it has passed its proper stage of ripeness part of it will evaporate and the cheese apparently lose its quality, though it is merely water it is losing. In full milk or rich cheese the proportion is reversed, and the moisture being from richness the cheese will improve by long keep ing. Speaking generally, a cheese with little moisture is slow to ripen; with too much moisture, it matures too soon. To know the proper grist all through is the touch stone of the cheese-maker s skill. If the curd is too moist it may be improved by using less rennet, or by keeping up slightly higher temperature, by breaking the curd finer before scalding, or by in creasing the quantity of salt. A cheese, after being kept in the press for two days or so, should be neatly bandaged and removed to the cheese-room, one end is then rubbed with melted butter, the other similarly at the lirA turning on the shelves, a process which may be repeated with benefit. The cheese-room should be so constructed that certain and easy control of the temperature can be secured—about sixty-tfte degrees be ing the average desired. Overheating melts the butter fats, and they then be come rancid and spoil the flavor of the cheese. Finally, turn daily and rub well; a good cheese should have its surface smooth and clean. —Prairie Fanner. Petroleum as a Preservative. A correspondent of the Orange County Farmer discourses on the use of crude petroleum as a wood preservative as fol lows-. “t is claimed by some of those who have tried it that a fence past painted with crude petroleum will last much longer than* those set without. There ,are those again who claim that an application of petroleum in their case does' not add anything to the length of time the post will last. That this oil does contain protective properties is con ceded by all who have used it to any ex tent. That it does not protect in all cases where applied to leuce posts is no doubt due to the difference in the soil and also to the condition of the post at the time it was painted or coated with the oil, for to soak a green post with petroleum and set it at once is a waste of time, and all posts should be thoroughly seasoned before they are coated with oil or any other protective, and never set until dried through and through. A coating of petroleum on shingles will acid much to their lasting qualities if applied after they are laid on the roof, but she proper way is to dip the shingles in the whole length before they are laid. T.iis can best be clone by having the oil 'in a trough large enough to dip the ends of the bunches in up to the middle, and when they are taken out lay them on a slanting board that will save the drip pings and carry them into the trough in which the shingles are dipped. Twenty-five cents’ worth of oil applied in this way will make them' last twice the length of time they otherwise would. I would not advocate coating them on the roof unless theypre already lain, in which ease nothing better can be done with them. In applyying petroleum or any other paint to a shingle roof already laid, you find yourself in the same predi cament that Pat was when his employer ordered him to grease the wagon. He said he greased it inside and out, but couldn’t get at the sticks the wheels hung on. In applying oil to a shingle roof after it is laid, you can't get at the spot where it is most needed to make it effective. A barrel of crude oil and a keg of brown metallic paint will pay in the life they add in the wood work to which they are applied and be worth ten times what they cost in the neat tidy ap pearance of the fences, gates and out buildings. The petroleum can be ordeied from any dealer in oils, and ought not to cost more thau eight cents with the bai - rel included, and in localities close to oil wells it can often be bought for half the price. The paint will cost from 3to 5 cents a pound in accordance with the quantity you purchase, outside figure being for small lots. Never mix paint in the petroleum that is applied to shingles, as it is only a waste of ma terial.” Farm and. Garden Notes. A good garden is a paying invest ment. Agriculture makes the true riches of a nation. * The question is not how large a farm do you own, but how good a one it is. Lack of shade in hot weather, too much exposure to the sun, is also a prolific cause of disease. The general aspect of the dairy animal is thinner, sharper and more angular than the feeding animal. When butter is gathered in the churn in granular form it is never over-churned. Pounding it after it is in a lump or large muss is what over-churns it. When the milk foams and froths in the churn, the probability is that the temperature is not correct; hence use a thermometer when churning. A close, unventilated, or imperfectly ventilated house is emphatically a foul house. Better cold than foul air. Better the danger of frozen combs than the multiplication of germs of disease. Selfish interest should induce tax payers in farming districts to make their highways good, but they go on botching them, year after year—anything to get the dues assessed marked off the roll. At a recent meeting of the American Bee-Keepers’ Association, several mem bers of experience gave the cost of producing honey. The general average of the estimates was about ten cents per pound. The beet grain for young colts is crushed old oats. Barley crushed, not ground, but coarsely cracked is next best. For spring colts begin with a pint at a feed and gradually increase as the colt grows. Potatoes are dried, as fruits are, for use on ships and in mining camps, where the fresh vegetables can not be easily procured. The potatoes are sliced and dried in a common evaporator, just as apples are, and when used are soaked in water twelve hours to soften and freshen them. A New York farmer states that he used only coal-gas tar to prevent the ravages of the potato beetle. He puts a gallon of tar i: a tub, over which he pours boiling water, which is allowed to settle and cool. This is sprinkled over the vines with an ordinary sprinkler. A gallon of tar costing seventy-five cents suffices for several acres of po tatoes. A practical test will convince the dairyman who has not tried it, that his cows are capable of consuming and di gesting a much larger amount of food than the usual allowance. Experiments ot this kind will soon denote which of the cows pays best, by noting whether the excess of food is converted into in creased quality of milk or converted into flesh. The Home and Farm gives the follow ing novel method of making cabbage head. It says that “when the plants are about eight inches high and have formed woody stalks, make in isions in the stalks with the smajl blade of a pen knife, insert small pieces of wood of the size of a match, and break them off. This checks the growth, and hard heads will be formed.” The growth of a splint may be arrested by blistering the part with bin iodi; e of mercury once a week for two or three times, which will lead to the absorption of the abnormal growth. When the splint does not cause lameness it would be best to leave it alone. When lameness is caused it would be well to try the blistering and give the horse a rest during the treatment. A horn that has been broken off by accident leaving the core remaining should be treated as follows: Take a strip of cloth, smear it with common pine tar and wrap it around the core, fastening the end securefy in the best way practicable. l eave it thus un til the bandage comes off, when the core will have a hard covering and give no more tronble. But the horn will not grow again. In harvesting wheat almost every one has noticed little heaps of straw uni formly a few inches in length and won dered what could have been the cause of it. It was the work of field-mice. The little rodents did it to get the grain. They gnaw off the stalk as high as they can reach, and it drops down endways, the surrounding stalks prevent it from falling over, and they continue the process until the head is reached. Bab bits do the same. Their work may be known by the pieces of straw being longer and they cease operations before the grain is fully ripe. A fruit-raiser in Indiana finds cop peras—sulphate of iron—the cheapest and least dangerous substance that can be employed for killing currant worms. He gives the followiug direction for its use: “To one gaf.on of rain water add a teacupfui of copperas, dissolving the copperas in the water, and, with an ordinary sprinkler, sprinkle well the bushes about the time the worms first make their appearance. If this applica tion is made at the time the first signs of these pests are noticed once is enough, but should they hatch and become numerous then two or three more sprinklings are required.” Adulterated Condiments. “Wee flour and white meal can l»e mingled with white peppei in reasonable quantities and experts in spices cannot, detect it,” said a leading New York grocer to a Mail and. Express reporter. “In fact there is no trade in which adul teration for pecuniary profit can be car ried on more profitably and with less chauces of detection than in r-piocs. Terra alba, a fine marble dust, is export ed from Italy to this country in consid erate quantities to mingle with white pepper. Mustard mixes with sago flour, rice flour and a bit of aniline coloring without detriment to the appearance of of the mustard. Treat the mixture with iodine and you expose the adulteration; but the average customer of mustard is not apt to apply that test. The German and French mustards are an interesting mixture. They are compounded of flraeker dust, mustard, cayenne pepper, white vinegar, oil and sugar Havering. Old crackers are sometimes baked brown, then ground into dust and mixed with ground cinnamon and nutmeg, and the whole is sold for nutmeg at a price that drives pure nutmegs out of the market. “Ground pepper is frequently sold for less money than the unground article, which makes the naturally suspicious suspect at once that the ground goods are loaded with pepper dust, which is made from cocoanut shells or buckwheat hulls, chacoal, whit: meal and mustard bran. Lack of taste is as desirable in an adulteration of spi es as adaptability of color. For that reason the cocoanut shell ground up very fine is desirable. Venetian red, salt and white meal can be ground together and made into a valu able addition to cayenne peppe.'. A dull red pepper, exported from Africa, is often heavily adulterated with that mixture. It is worth only about ten cents a pound when pure, but when well adulterated can be sold to a green dealer, and a green trade for genuine Natal pep per, worth from twenty-five to thirty-five cents a pound. You can buy ground ginger at almost any store for seven cents a pound, when the unground article commands ten cents for the same quan tity. That means that the goods offered for seven cents a pound is a mixture of white meal, starch, cayenne pepper and manila rope flavored with ginger. The grocery trade, especially the country people, want to see the ginger fibres, and the ingenuity of the dealer supplies them in the form of threads of man ilia rope.” Supreme Court Pomp. The opening of the Supreme Court is one of the stage accessories, declares.the New York Qiaphff, to official life at Washington. xVnyone who has ever been present will never forget the scene. The room i 3 a stuffy one at best affd is rather an bwlish-looking place. One placid faced negro sits at the door with a string in his hand to help him open it without trouble. Another, t*it a white haired, son of Africa sits inside to aid him. Neither one of them would demean him self by pulling the string for anyone less than a Senator or a member of the House. Ordinary citizens must push their way inside unaided. No one must carry a newspaper openly within the sacred pre cincts, for the rule is absolute that no reading of journals is allowed in the court. Nor must auy notes of the pro ceedings be taken —the official reporter is to do all that. Once inside suppose the clock over the door is striking noon. If it is striking at all that is the hour one hears, for it never sounds save to call the court to gether. Behind the long curtains that hang in the rear of the bench the judges are formed, dressed in their silken robes. The grave faced old crier stands at One end of the court and then looks sternly around to note if all are in proper state to receive their honors. Then, with an ele vated chin and a loud voice, he an nounces; “The Honorable the Chief Justice and the Associated Justices of the Supreme Court of the l nited States!” The audience rises, the curtain parts,the judges step forward and bowing low stand an instant facing those present, who leturn the salutation. “Oyez, oyez,’ -uiys the modulated voice of the crier; “all persons having any business with the Honorable the Supreme Court of the l nited States are admonished to draw near, for the Court is now in ses sion.” And with a quick, sharp glance around to see that no unregenerate citizen has yet dared to be seated, the official adds impressively”: “God save the United States and this Honorable Court." The business has begun, Blackbeard, the Pirate. Not far from St. Simon’s, (5a., is an island called Blackbeard. The name, it is said, originated from a pirate called Blackboard, who long ago inhabited it with his crew of desperate men. A long, black beard, flowing to his waist, gave the pirate his name. When the govern ment dispatched Vessels laden with money to pay off the men sent to colonize the State, these pirates would lie in wait to secure the treasure at auv cost, Some years sincesa colored mar c\as plowing on this island, when his pi owsha’-e turned out |4O! 0 in Spanish trold. A crafty white man told him it was too ola *o be good, and that he would give him for it. The offer was aceepiad, &i.d when it was beyond recall, the poor fel low found out that he had been swindled. Even now on the neig! boring island of Jeckyl the trees are often found notched, and the people suppose that these marks denote the place where the treasure booty of the old pirate is buried.
