All farmers should know that the cheapest room they can get in a bam is in the basement. On many accounts it ia the most valuable, especially for keeping the stock comfortable during cold weather. But there is a further profit in raising barns and putting cellars under them. A barn that has stood for years close to the ground, has been during that time, not only the harbor for noxous vermin, but the occasion of serious waste of valuable manure. Much of the liquid excrement of stock stabled above will be found under the barns absorbed by the soil, which it converts into the richest nitrogenous manure. 1Nitre was formerly obtained from the loil under old buildings, and it so impregnates earth und.r stables and barns that a load of it drawn upon the fields will do more good than an equal quantity of barn-yard manure as usually made.?American Cultivator. How to Cut Potatoes for Seed. We can't help feeling a little queer as we read the explicit directions given by some of our excellent contemporaries as >v to how to cut potatoes for seed. We must begin at one end and "cut the eyes according to the spiral bud arrangement," etc. Is there a sane farme- In the land that does not know that "if he would secure seed that will give him the . fullest stand and yield he must be guided in cutting his potatoes by the apparent strength of the eyes! It very often happens that all the eyes of a potato are imperfect except those of the seed end,and that only those will grow. In such cases either we must cut iu halves or quarters, o that each part shall have an eye-bud, or take the chances of "missing hills'' wherever other portions are planted. The RxiraVs advice as to cutting potatoes might be summed up in these words: "Plant pieces snowing one or I 1 1 -11 juuic 3Liuug, luu ejus, !tuu reject an . - 'others. If this advice were followed we believe that there would be comparatively few missing hills, and that the yield would be increased accordingly.? Rural New Yorker. Summer Treatment of Azaleas. Azaleas have become quite plentiful of late years, and. they are quite charming for the greenhouse or window. Most of them exposed for sale by the florists in the late winter months are imported from Germany. They are exceedingly nice if grown as little plants, and are a bouquet in themselves when in flower. The summer treatment of these plants, ftrr they have done flowering, consists in encouraging a free growth, pinching out any of the shoots likely to grow out of size with the rest. A warm, ,rnoi?t greenhouse, with the plants near the glass, is just the thing for them. Those who have oniv the windows had better keep them there until the end of June. The best place for Azaleas out of doors is a spot where they can be shaded from the mid-day sun, and the pots may be sunk in the ground, talcing care that worms do not get up among the fine roots.

A maa who makes their ways a study ?-a paid insect detective, devoted to his duty?might, says a writer in the New York Tribune, do great service in a neighborhood by keeping down apple and peach borers, curculios, currantworms, rosebugs and slugs, and other such pests. Knowing when and how to meet them, he could, with a little aid from the families he makes engagements "V with, do very much to preserve the beauty and the produce of the plants surrounding our dwellings. In Europe there are professional mole-catchers, ratcatchers and vermin-destroyers, and they stand well in the community as doing * . special service, and having qualifications nd knowledge not generally possessed. Professional iasect-coutrollers would be even more worthy of support and regard, not only for their service in preventing tllfl dRstniftinn nf colnnKIn ^ ? ??..WM - tuiuuvic vvpo auu plants, but as a means of acquainting the youth of the country with some of the leading facts of practical entomology, and as being watchmen, prompt to detect ' ' the first appearance of any new insect i, enemy, and to suppress in time what, with delay, may prove very difficult or impossible to get rid of. ~ Stacking Hay. Bear in mind that dew and rain wash out much of the best portion of grass after it has been cured, or partly cured. Prof. Beal, in his valuable work on grasses, says \ ery truly that it is almost fmpoS'ible to give definite rules in writing about st&cking'hay that will be of practical use, and advises that amateurs in this work take lessons of a good stacker by watching the same one seaion. The Professor, however, makes the following suggestions: "Thefounda -1 1? -1 ivu VI tue ouh;& suu'iiu LKJ m tU6 OD boards or some timbers to keep the hiy 1 from absorbing moisture from the fround. The middle should always be ept highest; it should be evenly trodden down on all sides; the hay should be pitched on to ths stack from different ides, or ne*r the centre of the stack, to prevent packing the hay on one side more than the other. The top should be finished with long, stra'ght, coarse grass or sedges. In the oKl country gtacks are thatched. Hay caps are sometimes used, and farmers who have once tried thern as a rule like them too well to discard them ever after. They are about six feet square and made of any stout cloth or muslin. At each corner is an eyelet for pegs to be run through into the sides of the haycoc'c, or stout cords may be fastened to the corners long enough to reach the pegs which stick in . the ground.?New York World. Making Flesh of Grasa. Xi\ery u<uryrn!ia Knows mat green grass is the cheapest as well as the best food that can be used for producing milk. Most persons prefer butter and cheese that are made while cows feed entire'y on sweet and tender grasses. They think that they have a moie agreeable flavor. O'ra^s is so much cheaper than any other food given to cows, that dairying cannot be profitably carried on outside of a good grazing district. England, Holland ana Denmark are the best dairy countries in the world, chiefly for the reason that the climate and soil are well adapted to the growth of grass. In parts of the world where the rain fall is limited to a few months in the year, the grass ceases to grow during the dry seaBon, when the supply of milk immediately begins to falls off. The Northern States have great advantages over the Southern ones in the production of milk, for the simple reason that they produce more and better grasises. Cows will give milk if they are fed on dried forage 1 1 plants ana grain, but it is not likely th&t it will sell for enough to pay for the food consumed. Every 6heep-raiser knows that green grass is the cneepest food for producing wool. The best grazing districts are the most favored ones for the production of wool. There is much profit on that part of the fleece that grows while sheep are in the pasture, but very little if any in the part that grows while sheep are kept in pens and are fed on food that has been harvested. Hay and grain will make wool, but the chances are that it will not sell for enough to pay for the food that the sheep have consumed. Grass is the cheapest as well as the best food for producing flesh on cattle, sheep, and horses. Most farmers are aware of this fact, but in practice they appear to forget it. They keep these animals in poor or closely-fed pastures during the summer, where they gain but very little. On the approach of cold weather they remove them to stables or yards and give them all they will eat. 11 -3 r\f 4-V*o nri n tor QrA AIIU lttli auu cuiij puv VI luv, .. ..i.v. ?.- | the times when most farmers expect to put their stock in good condition for the market. They spend the entire season of warm weather in raising crops to feed the aninjals after the cold weather commences. They neglect them in summer, but seek to make amends for it by giving them most excellent attention during the winter. Cows, steers, and young cattle that fared poorly in the pasture now fare sumptuously in the stable. They receive hay from the mow and corn from the crib. Young horses have their mangers full of cured timothy cut and their boxes are supplied with thrashed oats. The best time to make flesh is while the grass is growing. It is then sweet and tender, and animals will derive more benefit from it than they will after it has attained a larger growth and has been cut, cured and put in stock. Green grass is as valuable for making flesh and fat as for making milk and wool. The farmers who know the best pastures j make beef, mutton and horse flesh at the smallest cost. They aim to add to the weight of their animals while the grass grows and the weather is comfortable. They do not keep their pastures overstocked. If a protracted drought occurs, they cut grass in meadows, oats or corn, and feed them to their stock. They aim to have their animals in prime condition-at the end of the grazing season. If the season is favorable, they expect to have some steers that are grass-fattened. These will be the animals on which they will make the most money. Nest to them in profit will be those that will require but a small amount of corn and hay. Both lets can be disposed of before the mow falls. When this is done there is a great saving in stable-room, labor and food.?Chicago Timts. Farm and Garden Notes. If the old ruts have proved profitable, stick to them. If not, get out. Pigs in the orchard are best for both the pigs and the orchard, provided there is fair pasturage. Burn out the caterpillar's nests on fruit aad shade trees and escape thi> disagreeable plague. Regularity in feeding, watering and milking are important matters in the dairv. Practice it. If currant or gooseberry bushes show little holes in the leaves, apply powdered white hellebore, the best remedy for the currant worm. In scraping moss and loose bark ofl fruit trees use a mason's trowel and take care not to injure the lower bark, advises one authority. Sheep for breeding next season will do well on pasture alone, but a mess of oats at night will compensate for any lack of pasturage where the flock is large. Major Alvord states, in American Gultiv-itvr, that he never saw better ensilage than that made from Hungarian grass or millet, cut when just beginning to show heads. In using eggs for hatching ?e largest and strongest chicks will come from eg^s layed by the hens or fully matured pullets. Eggs that are small or doubleyelkcd are not suitable for hatching. On most farms the manure is too unequally distributed to give the best profit. Some parts are manured heavily annually. The garden is one such spot, and as it requires more labor than any other equal area, it is fairly entitled to a greater portion of manure. Washing the trunks of trees with offensive substances to keep out boreri appears to A. W.. (. heever Hike going a long way round to gei there,"ai it will be much less work to dig out what few there are in an orchard wel1 cared for ihan to wash all the trees. The pig that brings the farmer the most money is not thj one that yields him the greatest profit. Fall pig-; wintered over and fattened the next fall are almost invariably expensive animals. Where corn is fed to cattle whole, a fe^ pigs may be kept to follow them without much outlay, but only a few. Referring to a plea for artificial coloring of butter (made by one of the official agriculturists) a correspondent of the dew England Farmer pertinently inquires if it wouldn't be equally admissible to fnmA mf.ono frt fTIV'P flAQ1TP/1 UfU bUC 9UU1C luv(?ug iv v vmv v.wv.. j creamy tint to bluish milk, in deference to the preference of city consumers. Professor Roberts, of Cornell University, says: "A cow that makes six pounds of butter a week on cold water will make seven pounds if the water is warmed." He further says that "cows will drink one-third more when the water is warmed to 80 degrees than they will at 32 degrees, and that the milk will increase one-fifth without deterioration." Many kinds of pears grow in clusters like cherries. Usually if these were reduced one-half or more, the crop would be more valuable. It seems a pity to cul out the young fruit just as it is formed, but it will pay. Nature does some oJ this work, but not enough. If half tht blossoms drop without setting fruit. th? orchardist will do well to cut off half oi those that remain. A Michigan farmer is still using a harness which after seventeen years' wear is as good as one purchased new by a neighbor only two seasons ago. The secret is declared to lie in his practice ol oiling, wh ch, instend of being the "big chore" that most people make of it, consists in simply unbuckling the parts and, without washing, treating them to a good coat of kerosene.
