The Care of Seeds.
Former generations of gardeners ba
vC,l much thoughtful care upon sav
. see ds, whereas few nowadays think
'uaving' Al) 7- is ff uitc possible to
°; b ' e jther way,* as it is certain that very
ef m kinds or varieties may be bought
nU ,re cheaply or, at any rate, more true
® nam e than they can be saved, while,
1 the other hand, many do well to save
the required number of certain varieties
which cannot always be purchased. As
rule home-saved seed, if kept in a dry
] acc rarely, fail to germinate more
and* strongly thau do those sup-
Blieii by the seedsmen, the latter not al
* ~s be ng in a position to send out new
or well-ripened seed. In dull, wet sen
,,3 it is almost impossible to properly
harvest the seeds of various vegetables,
au q the private grower ought, when
there is every prospect of the seed crops
j a the fields being very late and of
doubtful quality, to save as many for
himself as possible. Take peas for in
stance. The bulk of those for seed are
grown in the open fields and without
any stakes, aud when lying a long time
on’ the ground in dull, wet weather
proper ripening is almost out of the
question. In private gardens, however,
it is po-sible to ripen seed even in the
dullest summer yet experienced, provid
ed always the attempt is not made very
late in the season.— Chicago Timei.
Feedin<r I’ijjs.
Professor T. Hunt of the Illinois Col
lege Farm concludes as follows in sum
'mmg up the results of his experiments
in feeding pigs:
< 1. It required 13.80 pounds of skim
milk to produce one pound of pork
VI n fed with cornmcal in ratio 11-7 to
fattening hogs.
2. Skim-milk could not be economically
fed to hogs unless it was a waste product
Vhich could not be otherwise utilized.
3. It required on an average 41 pounds
of shelled corn to produce one pound of
pork during an average period of four
weeks, or one bushel produced 13£
pounds.
4. It required pounds of .cornmeal
to produce one pound of pork, or one
bushel of corn made into meal and fed
dry produced 12-$ pounds of pork.
5. When led dry, shelled corn is more
economical than cornmeal to feed to
fattening hogs.
6r It required 7$ pounds or one-fourth
bushel of ground oats to • produce one
pound of pork, when fed with equal
parts by weight of cornmeal.
7. < ne bu-hel of corn is worth nearly
three bushels of oats as food for fatten
ing hogs.
s. Corn-fed pigs gained about 4|-
pounds per week, and ate about twenty
one pounds of corn per 100 pounds of
live weight.
‘ 9. The gain for the amount of food
consumed decreased during fattening.
10. Pork was produced during the
cold weather, with cori* at twenty-eight
cents per bushel, for less than three
cents per pound.
11. An insufficient food supply for
two weeks caused a very considerable
loss in feeding thereafter.
, 12. Indian corn is the most economical
pork-producing material during the
Winter months in regions where ex-

Fall or Spring Ploughing.
A correspondent of the Rural New
Yoeker thus discusses the question:
I would plough this fall just as soon as j
the ground is damp enough, and I would
plough very deep. If ploughed this fall j
the roots will soon die and rot, and the |
frosts of winter will help to pulverize I
the sod. Another advantage of fall j
ploughing is thfc destruction of worms ;
that are stowed away for winter. I
iave very little sympathy with the idea
of the soil getting manure from the winds
or frosts of winter. They only tend to
the manures that are already
in the soil and act as pulverizers instead
pf manure. Should this piece be left to
Eie ploughed in spring it would have to
haw out and'then dry, and by that time
the grass would get a start and in order
to kill the grass it would have to be
ploughed shallow. Then if a dry sum
mer should follow the sod would not rot
audit would be very difficut to cultivate
and a light crop would be the result.
!Now I would say to a young farmer, if
he wishes a lesson that will last him the
(balance of bis farming life, let him cut a
•ditch above this piece that will keep off
all surplus water: then let him take halt
of the piece and plough it this fall as
deep as two or three horses can draw the
plough, and next spring, as soon as the
Jand is dry enough to get a team on it,
let him commence to harrow. Once a
Week or more will Dot hurt until plant
ing time, and if he has the right kind of
harrow he can harrow until the corn is
large enough to plough. With regard to
the other half let him plough it next
•spring, and follow' the same course, and
note the results, and I am sure it will be
one that will last him.
f In regard to the idea that the freshly
turned sods would help the corn more
than anything else, I am surprised that
a farmer of any experience would ad
vocate such a theory, llow could corn
he plante I or cultivated to any advantage
*on freshly turned sods? I am in favor of
planting corn in freshly stirred land, but
I want it freshly stirred with a good
steel-tooth harrow. (
Stable -Manure.
Notwithstanding the fact that in many
sections of ;he c ountry east of tne Alle
ghanies, and more especially south, sta
ble manure is difficult to obtain, it is
nevertheless true that it is the best possi
ble manure that can be applied. Why?
It contains, !1 the constituents, including
humus, that are rfeedcd by the crops;
and the richer the food given animals,
Ihe better the manure. Many farmers
ttwke the serious mistake of a lowing
l he soluble portions of the manure to
esca pe by leaching. Another great waste
results from allowing the liquid excre
ment to escape in the stable. This liquid
®anure and the soluble portions of the
I £ olid part, are the most valuable. In fact
I nothing that is used as manure, either
[the commercial or the barnyard kind,
*? an be taken up by plauts, except after
being solved by water. How necessary,
therefore, that all that may be liquid,
should I e conserved.
beside the escape of fertilizing matter
i by 'eachingawav, there is too often se
’ firms loss during*the heating of the pile
by the escape of the gases in the process
?! fermentation. The chief loss here is
ln the shape of costly nitrogen—always
as ammonia. To prevent this, add al
ternate layers of strong loam and manure,
as the mass is laid up. The loam will
absorb and hold the ammonia.
To prevent the loss of the liquid por
tions of the manure by leaching, select
a place where there is a close clay soil.
Form this, dishing to the center, and
puddle the bottom by tramping with cat
tle when wet. This will render the
bottom practically water tight. Now if
in the center a well is dug, say three feet
deep, and covered to keep the solid ma
nure from entering, then if some common
suction pump is placed therein, and the
manure iaid up regularly all around, the
liquid may he pumped over the pile from
time to time, assisting materially in rot
ting the whole equally. Manure thus
made is worth ton for ton three or four
times that made in the manner common
with too many fanners. —Prairie Fanner.
Preparing- Bees for Winter.
A bee-keeper of large experience gives
the following advice through the col
umns of Cleanings uj Pee Culture: Years
ago, when I first began to keep bees, I
thought there was little which needed
doing with the bees during the month of
September and October, thinking that
the month of November was early
enough to prepare bees for winter, and
many a time have I equalized the stores
in the hive ‘‘by frost,” as I used to term
it, thinking that I could get along with
the matter easier and quicker while the
bees were thickly packed away in their
winter, quarters, tnan I could possibly
do when warm weather compelled me
to use smoke to drive the bees out of the
s way, and keep their temper down so I
could handle them. Well, if this were
all there was to it I should still prefer to
equalize the stores after cold nights had
compelled the bees to contract off the
heavy combs of honey; but after losing
heavily several times when preparations
were thus delayed, for the reason that
the disturbing of bees late in the fall
seems to be very injurious, I concluded
to take the advice of an old bee-keeper,
who told me that the month of Septem
ber was the proper time to fix the bee 3
for winter. After working on this plan
for a number of years, 1 find that he was
quite right about it; and in order that
the readers of Cleanings may be re
minded that winter is soon to be upon
us, and that they should not delay get
ting the bees ready for it longer than till
the last of this month, I will tell them a
little of how I work along this line.
The point which seems to have the
greatest bearing on successful wintering
is the getting of the winter stores near
aud around the cluster of bees in time
for them to settle down into that quies
| cent state so conducive to good winter
ing, prior to November first. To ar
range these stores aud properly seal
them requires warm weather; hence it is
clear, I think, to all, why we should not
put off caiing for them till cold weather
arrives. To be sure that all have the de
sired amount of honey, there is only one
certain way to do, and that is to open
the hives and take each frame and weigh
it, after having shaken the bees off from
it. Next weigh a frame of empty comb,
or several of them, so as to get the
average weight, which, when deducted
from the weight of those in the hive,
will give the weight of the honey. If it
is found that there are twenty-five pounds
of honey, I call that colony all right for
winter/ If less it must he fed to make
up the deficiency; if more, it can spare
some to help another colony whicn is
short, In this way Igo over the whole
yard, equalizing and feeding, if it is re
quired, till all have the required twenty
five pounds.
Where feeding is required, I manage
differently from what I used to, in that I
now feed from three to five pounds a
day, while formerly I used to feed all
the colony required, at one feeding. To
be sure, there is less work where the
whole is fed at once: but to offset this,
we have the stores scattered all through
the hive, which, in my opinion, is a
very undesirable shape to have them in.
Where it is necessary to feed I always
select the number of combs that I think
the colony will require, taking those
which have the most honey in them.and,
by means of this same division-board
feeder, shut the bees on that number of
combs, which icornbs) of course get all
the feed, thus securing it in just the
shape needed.
Farm and Garden Notes.
The average dairyman should breed
his own cows.
Manv farmers fail to derive the benefit
they should from sheep because of im
proper feeding.
Soap and /cerosene emulsion has been
found successful in destroying white
grubs on lawns.
A good rule in mixed farming is to
keep sufficient stock to consume all the
products of the farm.
Make your farm such that poor animals
would disgrace it; make your animals
such that a poor farm would ba unht for
them.
Ordinary warts on cattle may be re
moved with a knife, and the surface of
the wound touched with lunar caustic to
prevent excessive bleeding.
While milk is standing for cream to
rise, the purity of the cream, and con
sequently the tine flavor and keeping of
the butter, will be injured if the surface
of the cream is exposed freely to air
much warmer than the cream.
The live weight of a cow decides her
ration of support, It shou.d be equal to
two and one half per cent in dry fo d
matter, or not less than th rty pounds
per day of good hay or its equivalent in
grain, straw, ensilage or root 3 lor a IOUO
pound cow.
As milk is an animal secretion manu
factured by the cow, it muse be evident
that anythin a which worries, frets or
torments the cow, or readers her uneasy
or uncomfortable, will certainly les-eu
the quantity and affect the composit.on
of her milk.
The best and richest milk is found to
be produced ust after growth ceases,
and while the vitality is strongest. When
a cow has reached that age when she be
gins to lose vital force, her secretions of
milk becomes less perfect, ust as her
digestions and assimilation do.
Professor W. A. Henry recently made
an experiment with three cows fed on a
rat on costing seventeen cents per day
which resulted as, follows: A grade
Short-horn made thirty-four cents worth
of butter per day ; a half-blood lersey,
forty-five cents, and a -lersiy of pure
blood fifty-six cents. They were all in
about the same stage of milking.

African Slavery.
It has become fashionable to patrol the
East African coast to prevent s’ave
dhows from continuing the export of
slaves. For many years England lias
been performing this function alone.
Now, however, that an agreement has
been made between England and Ger
many, vvhsreby the latter is to assist in
the work, the other powers are offering
ships, aud the dhows promise to have a
hard time of it. France, Italy, Austiia,
Russia and Greece all wmt to take part
now in the laudable work. Whether the
lilocka le of the coast will assist the
•German scheme for colonizing the terrL
tory obtained from Zanzibar is another
matter. It is quite possible that it will
irritate the Arabs and cause stubborn re
sistance to Germany’s policy of territo
rial acquisition in the interior as well as
on the coast. The Pope is urging the
extinction of slavery, and is imploring
all the crowned heads to assist. Eman
cipation in Brazil has knocked down one
of the chief props of the monarchy, and
resulted in an agitation for the abolition
of imperial institutions and the substi
tution of a republic. The anti-slavery
leaders, encouraged by their successes,
naturally took up the cry against royalty,
and were as naturally assisted by the
former slaveholders who had lost their
property at the hands of the empire.
To meet the storm, the reigning sover
eign has resorted to all sorts of diplo
matic methods, including a liberal
granting of titles aud honors of various
hue. The princess even went so far
some time ago as to drop upou her knees
in the street to kiss the child of the
leading Republican orator—Jose de
Patrocinio —who was leading it along by
the hand. The stratagem was most ef
fective, for since then Patrocinio has
stood by the sovereign. With the de
parture of slavery and Don Pedro’s
death, must come radical changes, in
spite of the close relations maintained
commercially and otherwise with the
monarchies of Europe.

your Aunt.”
Aunt Jane Well, Mildred, I suppose I
should not expect a girl of your age to bo up on
such matters, but certainly her mother ought to
La It happens that only a short time ago I
was reading an article on Etiquette in my iu
fallib’o guide entitled, “Before and After the
Marriage Engagement.” I Will lend the mag
azine to you, which will answer all your ques
tions. And now, that you are contemplating
marriage, let me give you a little advice. Do
not start off like your mother did, to a.ways de
pend on others for her information. Your
mother always says. “Go ask Aunt Jane, she
knows everything.” Well, I am egotistical
enough to admit that I can generally give in
formation on almost every subj ect that comes up
in the home circle, and yet I will tell you can
didly that every bit of my household knowledge
has been gained from reading Dcmorcst’a
Monthly Magazine. It covers absolutely every
point interesting to a family, and without it I
would be lost for answers to your numerous
questions. Every mother should take it, and
every girl like you, who is contemplating start
ing a new heme, should put that down as the
fi st requisite. May be you think my praise is
too strong. Well! try for yourself. You say
you want a pattern of that jacket I have just
finished. Unfortunately, mine is too large for
you, but I see that W. Jennings Demorest,
publisher cf D:. morest’s Monthly Magazine, is
offering to send a specimen copy of the Maga
zine for ten cents. Send for one, and you will
get your pattern for nothing, for each Maga
zine contains a Pattern Order, entitling the
holder to the selection of any pattern in stock
and of any size manufactured. Don’t think by
this that Demorest’s is a Fashion Magazine, for
it is not. Its fashion department is perfect, as
are all its other departments, but James is as
anxious for its arrival each month as I am my
self. It is simply a perfect Family Magazine
worth ten limes the subscription price, Which is
only two dollars per year. If you are thinking
of subscribing for a magazine for the coming
year, bo sure and send ten cents for a specimen
of Demorest’s Monthly Magazine before de
ciding.

Dear Sir: In April, 1885, while thinking of taking
