"agricultural; ^ TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN'. The Churn. "Whatever churn is selected, never set it in the sun to dry. but dry indoors in clear, pure air. The swing churn, an oblong, rectangular box, in which the cream swashes back and forth from end to end, produces the same results, and so will a float or dash churn, if skilfully worked, provided the cream is properly tempered in each case. One of the most important points to ' observe in selecting a churn is to get one that is lanre enouirh. Small churns, or chums that are too nearly filled with cream when in use, causes much trouble in thousands of dairy-rooms. No churn should ever l>e more than half full of cream to give the best satisfaction. Churns without floats or dash will not work if too full, and others cannot make the best butter or the most possible from the cream if they are much more than half full.?tic England Farmer. Bov Stalls for Horses. The stable for the horse should be of good size. The narrow dimensions of many of the stalls are a positive cruelty to horses. They are built too narrow to enable the horse to extend his limbs when convenient. He is compelled, when in a recumbent position, to double his limbs up under him, and his legs are thus kept cramped, when they should be completely at rest. Box-stalls permit the animal to choose its position and change it at pleasure. Comfort is essential to health, and it is evident that the animal can not be comfortable when closely tied in a narrow stall. The stalls should be kept clean, and the floor d.iiiy sprinkled with some good absorbent, as gypsum, to absorb the foul odors continually arising. Absorbents are not generally u?ed freely enough about stables. Besides having YinrA air fnr ftnimnt l?rr??itl?r? :i stable that is stored full of hay and grain ought to be k?pt well ventilate!, and kept clean, that the impurities of the air may not penetrate these. All food should be kept as pure as possible. Cleanliness about the stable is just as important to the health of the horse, as cleanliness about the house is important to the health of the family.?Amerian Agriculturist'. Summer F/illo\vini?. The praeticc of summer fallowing, now so prevalent in many Northwestern ?ections, is claimed by many to actually add to the richness of the land. This is Bupposed to be so because larger crops are grown upon lands so treated. "Are not these larger crops due," asks the Minnetota Farmer, "rather to the fact that conitant stirring has so pulverized the ground that ft is placed in a mechanical condition suitable for the grain sown on it to more completely absorb the elements required for their growth, and, therefore, while producing larger crops the looner exhausted? Summer fallowing without manure will eventually become a DroKen reea ior tne larmer to lean upon. A judicious rotation is far preferable. Some intelligent farmers claim that they i have thoroughly tried summer fallowing ; to get rid of weeds, and that as a means to accomplish that purpose it is a Hat fa:lure. The plan has its merits, but at best it must have the important objection urge! against it that one year's crop is unavoidably lo -t while the interest' on the investment, the taxes and time go right on without a let up. Still, it has been a practice in old agricultural countries for hundreds of years, and has done good service." Select Crops lor Profit. It is a first-rate plan to decide ahead what kind of crops jyoii will raise the next year, what varieties you will select, and the fields on the farm thai each J variety will be sure. In deciding what to plant select a variety and use your be.st judgment to 6elect crops that arc best suited to your soil and your sec;iou. Then, too, it is a safe plan to plant crops that you know I best how to plaut, cultivate, harvest, and market. It is hardly a safe plan to plant a large acreage of something you do not know how to manage to secure the best results. Because some one iu your neighborhood lias made a success of one vaiiety of crops because his soil was adapted for it and he understood how to manage the soil and the crop so as to secure the best results is hardly a sufficient reason why if you attempted the same crop you would meet with the same result. If you want to make a change do so gradually. Experiment to some exteut, and see what crops succeed best cn your soil. If! it is something you have not been in the j habit of raising, commence with a small ! acreage at first until you learn the most j profitable way of raising the crops on i. ?..:i t i u JVU1 3U11. 1 UCTtT Ul'llUH'U 111 111llUll changing about from one thing to another. The best success is nearly always attained by raising very nearly the same crops every year, planning out a regular system of rotation and following it up.

In a report of the transac tions of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society ap-! pears the following statement by Mr. George B. Andrews, of Fitchburg, re- i garding his vineyard, which contains. 8,800 vines, from one to fourteen years' planting: Of thoe vines, 2,500 are Con cords, 2,000 of which are in bearing1, I producing last season ten and one-half tons of fine grapes. The vineyard is on the southeast side of a hill, and is several hundred feet above any standing water, which latter Mr. Andrews considers of great importance. The soil is a good loam, with what is known ns a hard-pan bottom. The vines have been set at different distances apart, and have been trimmed in different ways, as Mr. Andrews does not think success in grape growing depends on any one mode ot | trimming, but rather on the location and j soil. In regard to the manuring of vines, the I advice is given to study the vines and try the effect of different manures. Mr. I Andrews's experience the past year has ! convinced him that he can grow the largest bunches on cow manure, but that muriate of potash and ground bone will produce the most sugar, and hastens the ripening from three to five days. He began by using four parts of bone to one of potash, but gradually worked in more potash. Most of the vines are set eight by ?ix feet, and they run on a trellis made by placing chestnut posts once in twelve feet and stretching four lengths No. 1"> galvanized wire. The first wire is twenty inches from the ground; then there is a distance of fourteen inches, then thirteen inches, then fourteen inches. The wire < :m ho flistened to the nosts bv staples, or 1)}' an eight-penny wrought-iron nail, or two six-penny naiis-driven into the posts so as to eros* each other near tl?<*ir heads. Braces can be put in to support the end posts. The vines alternate, running first on the lower and then on the third wire ?the young shoots of each alternate vine to be tied up to the second and fourth wires respectively and the first two strong shoots at the base of the vine to be grown six feet in length and then ripened for wood to fruit the next year. The young shoots are pinched when they attain the length wanted,from seven to eight leaves, and when the shoot strengthens enough it is tied, as has been tol I, to the wire above. Then as the iaieniis siiin inry mi: ivi-jii. pinvuvu ju iw one leaf; this sends the sap into the first leaves that started and increases their size: and this is what is wanted, as it is the first large leaves that the grower mainly relics on to ripen the crop. Farm and Garden Note*. Manure is the farmers' savings bank. Beware,of lice on fowls at this season. Catnip is regarded as a valuable plant for bees. Avoid feeding too much corn to growing pigs. Sift the cinders out before using coal ashes for the chickens' dust-box. Pretty country homes are becoming more common than they used to be. There is a growing determination on the part of farmers not to wash the wool on sheep. Farmers complain that the English sparrow destroys the buds of fruit trees and bushes. Those who feed bran to horses l irgely are most in favor of it, according to K. D. Coburn. Colonel F. D. Curtis suggests that "more 'comebossy,' and less 'get around there,' will fill the pail." The horse that works in the long, hot days wants a dry shoulder and a clean collar, says Stephen Powers. The willow, elm and poplar figure among the most troublesome of trees for fillintr tin drains with their roots. Cut out the canes of raspberries that have borne fruit this year and stake up the canes for bearing next season. Sawdust and lime make a very tough, firm, enduring plaster, which can be used to much advantage in patching walls, flues, etc. The farmer who leaves expensive implements exposed to the weather is usually one who finds that "there is no money in farming." An expression of opinions at a recent meeting of fanners developed the fact ^ i. :?1:?A i Lll.'lL IllOSl UI Lllt'IIl iU^ilUUU IU CUb Hit) when in full bloom. On rich land it always pays to sow clover with orchard grass, as they ripen about the same time, and the orchard grass will hold the clover up. This is an old rule. A crop of fodder corn is not only a useful resource in time of drouth, but, as the American Bain/man suggests, "excellent for ridding the ground of many troublesome kinds of weeds." One part corn meal, two parts bran, two parts of ground oats, one part ground meat, one pirt of middlings, a little bone meal and s dt scalded and fed early in the morning, is reported a good egg-producing food. Mr. S. M. Palmer says: "When one of vnur tKim horses is more tender in the J ? ? ? mouth, untl especially if a little the slower, make hi-< lines two or three inches longer than the faster horse and they will travel much cvencr." To have a good turnip patch the preparation of the laud should begin earh*. No crop grown requires more thorough fixing of the soil or heavier manuring. The turnip feeds voraciously, and seldom is enough manure used. It is claimed that coin, clovcr and otlu-r crops are now generally allowed to pass the succulent stage and come nearly to maturity ueiorc putting mem in me silo. The advantages arc that they contain more nutriment and the smaller per * Tt'nfia*. nllnn'O thn li^ntinnr tn reach a higher point. Dwarf peas seldom afford more than one picking, though they come early. The fall varieties require more labor (and sticking), hut they afford sever.il crops, nnd do not ripen all the pods at the same time. Seed for a late supply may be planted even as late as now, but the crop will not be heavy. Young turkeys do not thrive in confinement. Wandering about seems nccessaiv lor their development. Damp is fatal to them. They should be kept fastened up till the early dew is off, and then allowed to roam. Chopped green food, especially onion tops, mixed with soaked breurt, etc., will make them thrive. In applying any liquid mixture to destroy insects, like the kerosene and soap mixture lor piant uce, or nunacn unu i water for the cabbage caterpillar, Prof. | A. J. Cook urges that the liquid be j thrown on with much force, so that it i will R-attcr everywhere. It is not the amount of poison, but the thorough riistrihution, that should engage attention. Prnfiiro m>w fron tnrnin seed and have the ground fine. The rows may be wide I apart, so as to allow of working with the j cultivator. The ground should be as fine as an ash-heap. Drop the seed in small clusters, about six inches apart in the rows, as the insect* will often destroy young turnips. If too thick when up they can be thinned out. T< o much j fine, well-rotted manure cannot be used I on turnips. Do not put turnips on ground j occupied l>y corn the previous year. A Fowl Without Feathers. A letter to the New York World from j Plaintield, X. J., say*: "I wonder if any ' reader of the H 'orhl ])0>sess'.'s a chicken ! like the one I wish to mention. If so, ' perhaps he can give mc a hint in regard to a good feather invigorator. One of the chickens, about eight weeks old, is almost entirely devoid of feathers; lias never had any. It was covered with down when hatched, the same as the j other chicks, but has lost the down without getting any feathers, except a very 1 few upon the upper part of the neck, ends of the wings and just above the feet. It presents a most singular appeartince?looks like a chicken dressed for market. Its food has been identical with that of the other chicks?over 130 in all. It is lively, healthy and growing fast; but life is a burden to it on account of constant pecking received by tVio ntViorc nn ifo nnnrotected skin. We have htul to shut it up, together with two others deficient in plumage, but not to so DOtable extent." i Httl'SEHOLI? MATTERS.
