AGRICULTURAL. I TOPICS OP INTEREST RELATIVE ' 10 FAK.VI AND GAHUEN'. I Preserving Fence Posts. 'Parker Earl, the big strawberry!, Tower of Cobdeu, III., gives the follow- , 3g as his experience on this point: , In building a fence around our young j rchards several years ago we tried many < lans for preserving the posts. Having ; i ccasion to remove the fence this winter | re noted the condition of the posts as '' )llow8: Tho?e set with no preparation j -ere decayed an inch or more in thick- t I Bess; those coated w:tli a ttncK wasn oi ] Eme -were better preserved, but were : t uite seriously attacked by worms: th'>se ( Kosts coated with hot tar were perfectly s Bound as when put in the ground: those j, painted with petroleum and kerosene , , fwere equally as souud and as good for ! j etting. Let the posts get thoroughly I ] dry, and then, with a pan of cheap j ( kerosene and a whitewash brush, give ( the lower third of the post, the part to } [go into the ground, two or three appli- s cations of the oil, letting it soak in well i each time. Posts so treated will not be t troubled by worms or insects of any kind, f but will resist decay to a remarkable ( I. This we find to be the sfra;.le-t, j easiest, cheapest and best method of i c preservation. j s ; What Gives th? Largest Crop. I t j After all it is not so much the seed or ( |he variety as the method of cultivation j which gives the largest crop. Thorough t plowing, freedom iroin weeds, liberal I fertilizing, and undoubtedly the frequent a cultivation of the laud, are the principal c elements which secure a large yield, i The system of cultivating wheat has not j been given the attention which it de- t serves. A Mr. Travers. a farmer in Michi- s - -i - _ -1 1 ^ rgan, some yeirs a^o mveiueu nou ubeu u | v cultivator lor the wheat crop by which j \ he procured a yield of mortf than sixty j j bushels per acre annually for several j rpears. This enterprising man made costly efforts to introduce his machine i iinto use, but no one seemed to care for c jit, and he died a:id his invention became a ^dormant. We think some time such a j a machine will be in general use, just a9 j i th? corn, potato, aL<a other cultivators < a and horse hoes are used as a matter of 11 course and necessity. It cannot always I f] be that small crops will be thought more ! i: profitable than large ones, and that , ^ farmers will be better pleased with lo or t 10 bushels ot wheat per acre tnan witn i 50 or 60 bushels. There will come a time E when every farmer must grow the largest 0 yield on the smallest area of land, and, f while this time is slowly coming, those j farmers who first reach it will make the jmost profit.?iVc 10 York Times. p Wintering Bees. t Among timely topics discussed at the i c recent convention of North American j Beekeepers, at Columbus, O., was that c of wintering bees. The use of chalf hives t was discussed. E. R. Iioot claimed thai a they afford protection from cold, also l from the direct heat of the sun's rays, r The bees are always re idv for winter as e ' far as protection is concerned, and the i cool nights of late summer do not drive t the bees from the supers. With chalf i hives there is no laborious carrying of i bees in and out ot tlie cellar. Another i member atlirmed that the trouble is that i s chaff hives do not do what is c!a med for v them. ''Thfy do not winter the bees. A single-wnlled hive is ust as good for i wintering bees. With it the sun can ) warm up the bees: with a chait hive a it does not." Dr. 3Ias<m said that he \ valued protection for the bees in spring. v I If he wintered his bees out of doors, a would do so in chulf hives, but preferred fc to winter in the cellar. Another member j thought th re might be a saving of honey j by protecting the bees early in the | spring, but urged against chaff hives i their limited capacity; aiso that they are t heavy, unwieldy and hard to move when a a change of pasturage is desirable. t As to the best a^e for bees to go into t winter quarters, A. I. Jfoot said it wa* a once thought that we must have young _ bees for winter, and inu*t feud if neces sary. mey nau irieu taxing away ine queen in the fall and the bees wintered well. E. jf{. Hoot added that in lsso-ts; . they wintered ~0o coionies without loss and that they were almost a'l old bees. They had foal brood in the apiary aud * but little brood was reared. Prof. A. J.Cook thought we ought to have b'ood i up to September. "In 1671," he said, ''we had no brood in July and August j and the bees wintered poorly. I do not r care to have the bees begin to breed bei fore the 1st of April." Dr. Lincker , advocated young bees?those that had had or.e flight. * Opinion seemed to be pretty equally divided upon the proper time for bees to j commence to breed iu the spriug. Two ' months before white clover was the * earliest limit with many, -tfhile others thought it best for them to begin sooner, i r Experiments in Strawberry Culture. ^ When strawberry plants are transplanted in midsummer it often happens t that a dry spell fellows, and notlrng I | but liberal irr gation will sure them J t from dying out, even when potted plants are used. This means a good deal of extra labor for the grower aud often the plants gut such an unsatisfactory start j that they are not of much ar.co i:it the following year. Still there are advantages 1 in summer planting. At the Ohio Experiment Station last year, the season ( being an unfavorable o::e on account of 1 the extremely dry weather, the experi- 1 ment was tried of planting u few rows * of Crescents in close order, about six inches apart in the rows. The yield s proved to be nearly equal to that of the < spring plants, while the fruit was liner < in appearance. The bu'uvuce of the ..urn- : mer plauts set out late in . uly or August only yielded about half 03 much as the s spring set plants. lJrofss>or Green sug- , gests that by adopting this method of , close planting market gardeners might j profitably grow strawberries as a second | crop, even if the yield is not as great as ( on phinto that have had a whoie year to grow in. Another experiment with strawberry plants at the Ohio Station was conducted ' wiih a view to ascertaining the elle. t of j various fertilizers upon the growth of the plants and the possible effects upon ! the composition and quality of the fruit. 1 Plots were treated respectively with superphosphate at the rate of 0' pounds pera'-re: niirate potash. *200 pounds per < acre. ar;d barnyard manure. A fifth plot : for compaiisou was not !e rili/.ed. Thy j' variety used was the Clement seeding. ! A careful analysis showed that the va- 1 riousfertilizers applied to the different J plots had no effect whatever in changing the composition of the fruit. Xeithe- j couid any difference be detected in the j i appeaviince or tas*e of samples gathered 1 from the several plots. It was noted, j however, that the fruit ripened earlier on ;: the plot dre:sed with superphosphate < than on the oue treated with nitrate of i soda, while, on the other h>tnd, the last ] named plot produced the most luxuriaut plants. The plants on the unfertilized , plot cjuld not be distinguished from , . thoso treated with superphosphate, j titrate of soda stimulated the growth of , - the plants, which were dark and lux- j uriant, but decreased the quantity o fruit. Potash had an appreciable effec on the color or growth of the plants Barnyard manure, as is usual in such ex per.mcnts, gave the best results of alL Washing ButterThere is no other way of so e^ectivel; ileansing butter ol its caseous ant albuminous matter as by washing. O ;ourse, the water should be clean am pure. \ ery much depends upon tin ;haracter of the water. Hard or linri w?iter is not good. Alkaline waters, con :aining soda or magnesia, are worse The water may be so bad that no wash .m,' would be preferable. This is a ques ;ion that ought always to be considered liui whatever the natural character (.] :he water in the soil, filtered rain-watei .'an always be secured by the proper con itruction of a cistern, and this is next ir uality :o the softest and purest spring ivater from a slaty or clay soil. Add t( t a little salt, just so as to make a weak ooking brine, and it will dissolve th( :aseou? matter in the butter, which, o: :our?e, will be removed Dy uie w?ici vhen drawn off. But in no case should t itrong brine be used for cleansing th< jutter, for it will coagulate and harder He alburaii ous and caseous matter and ix it permanently in the butter instead >f removing it. Every little while some correspondent, >r a writer for the dairy department oi lome paper, will come out with a tirade igainst washing butter. It is declared hat washing takes out the flavor. So il ioes?the flavor of sour milk. But this not the flavor that is desired in fine Hitter, nor is it the flavor that will keep, t soon changes to a rancid cheesv flavor, ind the butter is spoiled. Washing takes >ut no other flavor. Some declare that t washes out the sugar! Such arc >robal>ly not aware that all the sugar here is in the butter is what is held in olution by the water in the buttermilk diieli the butter contains. Get this ?,,? ori/1 rrn/tc tho Rurrar with t?no mutter whether washed out or wkcd out. Some even go so far as to put sugar nto their butter with the salt: Nothing ou!d be worse. Sugar is a very unstable rticle, when in solution, unless kept at , temperature very high or very low. Id mtter, it soon decomposes and forms cid. and this, in turn, changes to somehing else, to the great injury of the lavor of the butter. Hence it is that it 3 better fox the keeping quality of the (utter to have the sugar changed to lacic acid in the cream before it is churned, f it is, of course washing the butter does tot wash out the sugar? it simply washes >ut the lactic acid which has been formed rom the sugar, and which is not wanted n the butter. Those who oppose washing butter ap?ear to be afflicted by a sort of hydroihobia. We sometimes wonder if they *'?? tr.icVi tlio-r ftnfl hands. Thev lo not seem to be aware that milk is HI >er cent. water, on an average, and thin ream full 30 per cent, water, while butt-r, as it comes from the churn, contains ,t least "JU per cent, of water, and 10 to 0 per cent, after it is prepared for aarket. And it is not held chemically, ither, as some may suppose. It is nechanlcally mixed with ihe milk, the mtter and the c. earn. It holds the sugar n perfect solution, the caseous matter n imperfect solution, and in it theglohiles of cream tloat until they rise to the urfacc. Hence, thinning cream with rai m water?provided the water is pure -is only increasing; the amount of aa ngi-e'.iient which ~it already contains. 1 ct some very strenuously object to this, i:d favor dilution with skimmed milk, vhich contains over DO per cent of ?atijr contaminated with a lot of caseous, 11.mn 'none nnrl nnnfTinrinfi nvittfir. which >y no means improves it for diluting mrposes. When butte.- is washed, im>ure water is only diluted by adding iure, and repeating the process until the :npurities become so attenuated that hey disappear 1'rom view; and washing voids working, if we wash the butter in he granulated condition, and this saves he grain of the butter, preserves the roina, and prolongs the keeping quality. -Pi-ait ic Farmer. Farm and Garden Notes, Cook small, old, inferior potatoes arid eed to swiue. Hemp or sunflower seed will give gloss o the plumage of lowls. American trees are the best for Amerca, say prominent nurserymen. Mr. A. W. Cheever notes the superiorty of line sindy loam for potatoes over a icher-looking dark soil. A dairyma-i urges the importance oi 'airing'' milk soon after milking as a jreveniive of l>ad flavors in the butter. One pound of Paris green to eacl tundred pounds of land plaster did perect work in killing the potato beetle at he Vermont station. Keep the young cattle growing stead lv. i5e;t authorities agree tnat ieea iocs further with the young abimal than vith the old. Many orcha-dists prefer to "heel inv rees fur spring planting in the fall ather than take thein directly from the mrsery when wanted. > Professor Henry states as the result ol ixperimcnt that long ensilage will gc learly twice as far in feeding cows a; ong fodder when large varieties of corr ire used. Many recommend she?p for feeding in >rchards ratlier thun swine. They leave 10 sai'e cover for insects to breed, and will keep the orchard healthy and the :rees manured. The average life of the city horse is said to be six years. In view of th( jnormous amount of horses used ic cities, it is no wonder the demund foi .jood ones is so large and steady. Tlir^ horse which can command a fail share of patronage in the near future must not only be by a fashionably brec md successful trotting sire, but musi ilso possess individual merit and musl be as web bred on his darn's side as thai jf his sire. Every forehanded and prosperous farmer who has children of proper age mel a fairly good soil should have ai icre near the house in fruit and vege tables in long, clean rows, under hoVse cultivation, says Mr. W. I. Chamberlain in the L\".in'r</ GentUmuu. The net weight of beeves is the dressee: weight. This differs with the kind o mimal. a full-grown far one makinj i net weight of to <50 pounds or ovei jn the live weight. Yountr and poor o -ims- led cattle ars estimated to give i iiet weight of iiO pounds on the 101 pounds live weight. Experiments with thick and thin seed inir nt the Indiana station are reportee is showing that at least six pecks o wheat to the acre should be sown 01 land of medium fertility. Thin seed iusr almost invariably suffers most fron severe winters. With early sowing ot rich laud four or live pecks of whea might answer. Professor .Tamos, of the Ontario Agricultural Cob ege. tells how to judge oi good linseed cake. It should be, among [>ther points, reddish in color, not toe dark, oi granular structure on the snl face, decidedly oily to the tasie^? f from dust and grit, with-.few, if any t foreign seeds when examined under th . microscope, and not damp, except wit] - oil. The curl in the leaf of the first growtl of peach trees is due to a disease cause( by a check to the growth by unusua y cold or wet in the Spring. It has beci i nniisurtllv noticeable the nast serine, ii f conse |Uence of the late frosts and cold 1 dry weather in May, and in some locaii 2 tie3, on the reverse, by reason of th( j cold wet weather. The succeeding growth will probably be all right, i microscoDical examiuatiou gives no evi ' dence of in ury by insects. The calf that is raised for a dairy co\* . should be abundantly?Dot lavishly? f1 fed on good grass, clover, hay, oats, : j bran and other protein foods. Corn meai -1 should be discarded. Milk giviug is t i' function separate and npart from beel - j making, and to first introduce the beel > I habit by feeding fat formers, like corn . | meal, is to train the heifer in that waj ; | and at last, when a cow, and you wish f I to "feed her up," the extra food will go r; to four cent beef instead of thir'y cent i butter, ana a l>ig loss is met with; for > the food that is turned into butter is sold i every day aud there is only one sale ol i ' beef. I A California poultry raiser says: The bottoms of old wash boilers, which are , often thrown away or sold for a few f I cents, make good feed pan-', and if taken > i care of will last for years. I prefer I those to wooden feed troughs: because ; I you can scour and clean them thoroughly j i in a few minutes, which you can not dc II with wooden troughs, as they get soui j in a short time and are move liable tc I spread disease. For drinking vessels 1 i ! would lake the bottom of an old teakettle. ; 11 cover this up after the water is put in, i 1 only leaving a few small spaces for the chicks to put their heads through: i , thereby the water will keep clcan and ; cool. 1 have managed in this way foi i! years with many chicks and have not i: lost one by disease. Different Types of Wool. The Statistician of the Department of Agriculture divides the wool grown in the United States into three classes. The first of the three classes is clothing wool. This is the lleece of full blood and grade > Merino, of fine, short fibre, remarkable for its felting qual ties. The highest type ! of this race, the reentered thoroughbred, | is found in Vermont, where breeding i: floe ks are more numerous than elsewhere, | and in cons.derable numbers ia Western i New York, Ohio and Michigan, and i! scattered through the Western States. 11 The merino type of wool prevails ali most exclusively in the three States I j named, in Texas and throughout the ; Kocky Mountain and Pacilic Coast areas. j Tew sheep of other blood are found west ! of the Missouri liiver. Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia furnish wool , of the merino type maiuly. The seaboard j States of New England also furnish some grade wool of this type. j The second class, the combing wool of > j the tariff classificat:on. includes the me?: dium and long wool of the English '; breeds, the Cotswoid, Leicester, i.in ' coin, several families of Downs, and 11 other breeds of long and coarse wool, j popularly known as the mutton breeds. | These are few in number compared with j the merino type. Nearly all of the sheep of the South, exclusive of Texas, are of this class, mostly descendants of the less i; improved English sheep of a hundred years ago, with occasional infusions of j better blood from England, Canada, or the Northern States. In Kentucky probably i>9 per cent, are of the combing wool class. A considerable portion, too, are highly improved, giving to this State i the reputation of having a larger proi i portion of high quality mutton than any '' other State. ! In the vicinity of the Atlantic cities, from Maine to \ ii srinia. sheep husbandry 1 is principally lamb production, the ma ea > being Downs or other English breeds, ' and the ewes grades of both the merino i aud the English types. This combina tion produces a mixed wool of a useful | character. Then there arc considerable numbers of the English breeds, chough i fewer than merino, scattered through ; the Western States, from Ohio to lvani eas, and a few on the Pacific Coast and [ in the Territories. As to the third class, the carpet wool, (i it is represented in the I'nited States j only by the Mexican sheep, which are 1 the foundation of a large proportion of ' j the ranch Ho ks, but so improved by ! repeated crosscs as to furnish wool of the merino type, much of it of a high grade. > ?Ncu) York World. Persian Poor Man's Paradise, i When we enter Persia we are in the poor man's paradise - a country where l existence is possible upon four pence pei . day, where meat costs one penre a pound ; * and bread a quarter as much in ordinary | times; where a fowl may be purchased for twelve cents, a partridge or a wild duck for four cents; where a serviceable | pony may be had for a note, and s ; valuable thoroughbred for $100; where jaservant caa bo hired for ?2 a month ! and his rations, and you can feed a hor.-e | upon six cents >i day. la most of the 5 cities a large house can be rented foi _: from $50 to $ldi> a year, and all the t necessaries of life are to be hail at tne > | very cheapest rate.
