TI1E FARM AND GAttF^N.
AN ITEM ON CABBAGE -'ffLTURE.
A French gardener t« ls that he had
two fields of cabbage uat were covered
with caterpillars. T6 sprinkled over
them some minera ,s,u perphosphite8 and
a few days after var< l s all the caterpillars
were found t- he destroyed upon the
leaves which they were eating. He has
not had tic same result with the means
ordinariL’ used .—New York World.
gOrnmeai, for cows.
There is no danger of drying up a
<ow by giving cornraeal to her for the
improvement of the milk. But it is
quite possible that the cow may be given
to make fat rather than milk, as is the
habit with some cows, and in such a case
there might be danger of the animal fat¬
tening instead of milkiDg. In such
case any kind of good teeding would
have the same effect. The writer has
been feeding cows for making butter for
over thirty years, and has never found
any difficulty in this way, the cows be¬
ing fed from eight to twelve pounds of
the meal daily, as they could digest it
profitably. If the cow fattens instead of
milking, it might be a good thing to let
her get fat and sell her and get a milk¬
ing one instead. Shorts is not a good
food for milk—it would be better to
give ground oats with the meal. Apples
in any way are beneficial to cows that
are milking .—New York Times.
THUNDER storms affecting milk.
It is a very old belief of our farmers,
and at one time quite general, that dur¬
ing a thunder storm sweet milk was
likely to turn sour very rapidly, and that
this change was d ue to the thunder or
some unexplained electrical force. There
is, however, just this much truth in the
idea or belief, and no more. During the
season oi thunder storms the weather is
usually warm, and as is well known hign
temperature very soon develops acidity
in milk and hastens the separation of the
cheesy matter from the whey, That
either thunder or lightning has any di¬
rect effect in souring milk is no longer
believed by our practical dairymen, lor
if it was a fact that thunder storms had
any such effect they would work most
disastrous results to the milk supply of
our great cities, as well as to the butter
factories and creameries all over the
country. If you will store your milk in
a cool room and see that the temperature
does not rise during a thunder storm, we
are inclined to think your belief in its
direful effect will fade away before the
end of the first summer .—New York
Sun.
STORING ROOTS IN PITS.
A farmer in Ontario, Canada, says he
stores his turnips and other roots in the
following manner: He first digs trenches
five or six feet wide and six or eight
inches deep. From the bottom of these
benches he puts in ventilators made of
three six-inch boards nailed together, as
often as once in eight feet, In these
trenches be piles the turnips as hign as
they will stay without rolling down,
making the sides of the pile straight
and even, and the top to as sharp a
peak as possible. He covers this heap
as evenly as he can with about ten inches
of dry straw and covers this with four or
five inches of earth, which he smooths
off with the shovel. Mangolds and car¬
rots should be covered a little thicker.
For potatoes he made the pits shorter
and wider, and covers with two coats of
straw and earth in alternate layers, also
uses bunches of straw for ventilators.
The roots come out fresher than those
from the cellar. In putting roots in the
cellar he runs them over a slatted spout,
so that much dirt rattles off them, but
he finds that much collects near the bot¬
tom of the spout, and he is careful to
move the roots back so as to get them
out of this. A system which preserves
roots in a climate as cold as that of On¬
tario would surely prevent freezing in
New England .—Boston Cultivator ,
HOW TO MAKE CHICKENS GROW RAPIDLY.
There is no reason and very little profit
in allowing chickens to be slow in com¬
ing to maturity. The small biped starts
into life all ready to grow rapidly, and
only lack of proper food will keep it
from foraging ahead. Whether chicks
are reared in brooders, or by hens, they
must have plenty of warmth, pure water
and cleanliness, and when these are se¬
cured we come to the important matter
of iood, which is one of the chief factors
in rapid growth. This should contain
just the elements that a growing chick
requires, in such shape as to be readily
digested. Raw eggs beaten into bread
crumbs are excellent for the first few
days. For this purpose the sterile eggs
that have been removed from the incu¬
bator, or from under the hens at about
the tenth day, will serve very well. The
chicks will also delight to pick at rolled
oats (which are steam-cooked), and this
is excellent for growth. Very soon they
may have boiled wheat, and one can al¬
most see his chickens grow while they
are eating it. A little cooked potato, or
cooked vegetable will not come amiss
occasionally as they grow older. What¬
ever is given them should be thorougly
cooked until the chickens are eight 01 -
ten weeks old, if the most rapid growth
is to be secured. When they can run at
large upon the ground they will obtain
an abundance of tender grass and other
green stuff,but if confined, there is noth¬
ing better than bruised clovef leaves,
scalded or cooked into a little bran or
middling*. Some bulky food is neces-
sary, or indigestion will ensue. Clover
provides both bulk aud growth material,
and where milk cannot be obtained the
liquid in which clover hay has been
steeped will be a most excellent substi¬
tute. Lean meat is good to feed occa
sionallv,but it is best cooked until it will
readily fall apart, while fresh ground
bone is one of the cheapest, and prob¬
ably one of the best foods for growing
chickens and for laying hens that can be
found. Any one who keeps a consider¬
able number of hens or raises chickens in
large quantities will find a bone-cutter
almost invaluable. Feed very Little corn
meal to growing chicks until it is de¬
sired to fatten them. Corn is essentially
a heat-producing and fat-producing food.
There is one other essential to rapid
growth and that is exercise. Chickens
will get this if allowed to run with a
hen, but if reared in brooders they must
be made co scratch, or good food will
avail them but little .—American Agricul¬
turist.
EFFECT OF WATER UPON HORSES.
A horse can live twenty-five days with¬
out solid food, merely drinking water;
seventeen days without either eating oi
drinking; and only five days when eat¬
ing solid food without drinking.
An idea prevails among horsemen that
a horse should never be watered oftenei
than three times a day, or in twenty-foui
hours. This is not only a mistaken idea
but a very brutal practice. A horse's
stomach is extremely sensitive, and will
suffer under the least interference, caus¬
ing a feverish condition.
Feeding a horse principally on grain
aud driving it five hours without water
is like giving a man salt mackerel for
dinner and not allowing him to drink
until supper time—very unsatisfactory
for the man.
If you know anything about the care
of horses, and have any sympathy foi
them, water them as often as they want
to drink—once an hour, if possible. By
doing this, you will not only be merciful
to your animals, but you will be n bene¬
factor to yourself, as they will do more
work; they will be healthier; they will
look better; and will be less liable to
coughs and colds, and will live longer.
If you are a skeptic and know more
about horses than any one else, you are
positive that the foregoing is wrong, be¬
cause you have had horses die with
wateiing them too much, and boldly say
that the agitators of frequent watering
are fools in your estimation, and you
would not do such a thing. Just reasoc
for a moment, and figure out whethei
the animal would have over-drank aud
over-chilled its stomach if it had no)
been allowed to become over-thirsty. A
horse is a great deal like a man. Lei
him get overworked, overstarved, oi
abused, and particularly for the want oi
sufficient drink in warm weather, and
the consequeuces will always be injuri¬
ous. Sensible hostlers in large cities are
awakening to the advantages of frequenl
watering. Street car horses are watered
every hour, and sometimes oftener, whih
they are at work. It is plenty of watei
that supplies evaporation or perspiration
and keeps down the temperature.
What old fogy methods amount to may
be seen by the change in medical prac¬
tice to man. Twenty years ago a persoi
having a fever of any kind or pneumonia
was allowed but a little water to drink,
aud th en it had to be tepid. To-daj
practitioners prescribe all the iced water
the patient can possibly drink; and is
addition, cold bandages are applied to
reduce and control, the temperature of
the blood. What is applicable to man
will never injure a horse. Use common
sense and human fceligg. Don’t think
it is a horse and capable of enduring any
and all things. A driver who sits in
his wagon and lashes his worn-out, half
curried, half-fed and half-watered team
should never complain of any abuse he
may receive from his master or employer,
for he is lower in character, harder in
sympathy and less noble than the brutes
he is driving, and deserves, in the name
of all that is human, the punishment
of a criminal. — Chicago Clay Journal.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
A cock to twenty hens will do good
mating.
A poultry farm need not exceed two oi
three acres.
Feed your stock so well that hunger
will not be an incentive to unruliness.
If animals, like men, had salt in their
food they would require little to lick.
This should not be a bad fall for
poultry. There is plenty of dust surely.
Trials at the Vermont station indicate
that there is nothing to be gained by milk¬
ing cows three times a day.
The quality of the wool you sell dom¬
inates the price received, and good wool
will not grow on starvation rations any
more than good meat.
Sell off the surplus hens now before
the turkey season fairly opens to depress
prices. Select the young ones for next
year’s breeding pens.
Don’t allow your dogs to ruu down
your flock of hens. Hunting dogs, es¬
pecially, if not hunted will sometimes
worry poultry by chasing them.
Farmers and villagers who handle spe¬
cial breeds usually find it profitable if
they are so situated as to keep the blood
pure and free from contact with badly
kept fowls.
In buying breeding fowls be careful
that the flock from which selected is
free from roup or cholera. If buying
from a distance obtain a guarantee of
these conditions.
