<5" MARKETING HA 7 IN BALES. If it were not for the bad condition of country roads hay would be more generally marketed after baling than it now is. On a good road with strong wagon three tons of hay may be drawn by a team in one load. It is the cheapness of the baling process that gives farmers at a distance the advantage in sending baled hay by carloads over those who ?' in oinivlo Iao^Q 1 Uiarset iuc uay iwuscij iu oiuk.w from near-by farms.?Boston Cultivator. THE FEEDING VALUE OF COBilEAL. The cob of corn is not digestible, and is not to be recommended for feeding to horses. It is difficult to grind as fine as is safe for these animals, and is apt to produce irritation of the bowels by ita sharpness and roughness. For covs and sheep it is not so objectionable, bat its small quantity of nutritive matter renders it of little value for even these animals that have strong digestive organs. As it must be ground to be of any use, the cost of grinding leaves no profit on the feeding, and, therefore, considering all things, ii is more advisable to use commeal instead of the cobmeal. As a rule the best food is the most economical, and mere bulk is better made up with hay, or even siraw, which is more 1 easily digested than the hard, woody cobs of corn.?New York Times. PLOWING WITH DYNAMITE. Subsoil plowing with dynamite is one of the new methods in the South, and it is said to be equal to the process of trenching used by the market gardeners to loosen the earth to a depth of two or three feet and allow the absorption of a good deal of water for sustaining vegetation during a drought, t The inventor drills holes two or three feet deep and five feet apart, making 1600 to the acre. In each he puts an explosive, and after tamping it, discharges, the number being connected with a wire leading to a Dattery. in a recenr experiment iae explosive used was one-fourth of a smallgized dynamite cartridge, with about an ounce of Judson powder. The surface of the ground appeared to be lifted two or three feet, a few small clods being thrown to the height of a house. It was broken to the depth of thirty inches at the points of the explosion and sideways for a part of the distance between the holes.?St. Louis Republic. I . , EATABLE MUTTON* Of "the various crosses, of the Southdown or other breeds of sheep, the Shropshire thus far seems the most generally useful in America. A greater number of these have consequently been imported, especially of rams to turn out among our flocks of common ewes. The chif unit of their breeding is an increase of flesh in proportion to tne bone, and this flesh is of supreme quality, it being mostly a tender, juicy lean, well marbled, that is abundantly mixed with nice, Blender streaks of fat. Broader, more juicy and thicker chops can be cut from the carcass of such sheep, and they are more savory and tenderly cooked.

That useful and perhaps most intelligent, of all our native birds, the common crow, has been accusod of much rascalty, but that he is destructive to watermelons and ground peas is to us an entirely new line of mischief to be recorded against him. However bad the crow mav be at times he still has some, yes, many, redeeming traits; consequently, we cannot wish for his extermination, but would compromise on frightening him away from crops worth saving. A little tar on seed corn will protect it from crows and other grain eating bird3 and vermin, and to protect your melons and ground peas yon hare only to stretch some white twine about the field a few , feet xrom the ground over the rows of ! plants. The twine suggests a trap to \ +V. n A?r?rt? an/? Kn nrill nonallvr ontra if n , 1 irUC uun nuu uv nxu \uuaitj At/ a * wide berth. Many of our farmers use twine to protect their corn in spring and think it less troublesome than applying tar to the seed at planting time.?American Agriculturist. WHEAT EXPERIMENTS. Trials for three years, made at the Illinois station, indicate that variations in quantity of seed between one and two 'bushels per acre have less effect oo yield than other conditions have. In 1891 the largest yield was from six pecks per acre; in 1890, from four and from eight pecks; in 1889, from five pecks. In 1891 sowiug small kernels gave a larger yield than was obtained from the same weight of larger kernels, but less than from the same number of larger kernels. The kernels in the crop from the small seed wa3 approximately as large as those from the larger seed. In two trials no injury resulted from rolling drilled wheat sood after sowing. The yields of five plats sown at intervals of ten*>r twelve days, from September 2 to October 14,were all good, 30.8, 36.4 bushels per acre. It is not certain that they were affected by the date of sowing. If the last sown plats be excepted there was no appreciable difference in the time of ripening and very little including it. Selected wheat kernels were planted in rows one foot apart, one kernel for each inch, in three plats of three rows each. In each plat of thiee rows the wheat was covered one inch, three inches or five inches. The yield diminished with the increased depth of plant-1 ing. The results of all the trials with commercial fertilizers on wheat at the station indicate that such fertilizers are not profitable on the black prairie soils of Central Illinois.?New Tone Wojld. HKAVES IN HORSES. Heaves in horses is somfewhat similar to asthma in man, it being of a spasmodic character, and is ulwayo aggravated by the use of dusty and musty buy, grain, impure water, and exposure to sudden changes of -weather. A remedy is not to be found among medicines, but in general treatment of the auimal, giving only the purest food, and when ordinary hay is given it should be sprinkled either with pure water or with a very weak brine or lime-water. Sound, ciean oats may be given, but ground feed with an occasional handful of linseed meal or oil cake added is preferable to continuous rations of oats or other whole grain. Horses affected with heaves may also be fed roots, such as carrots, parsnipB, and jaw potatoes, and with benefit, as these tend to keep the bowels open. Good, well-cured corn fodder is far preferable to hay even where the animal is inclined to be thick-winded. "We uo not mean the ordinary cornstalks saved after the ears have been harvested, but corn sown thickly in drills and then cut up before frosts, and nicely cured in the shock. Most horses will prefer such fodder to I 4-Y.rx Kftof r\f V?orr if ia fho Kpjf: PflATRA bUO UOOl! Vi uaj j uuv? <v *0 vuw Vww? food as yet discovered for horses afflicted with heaves. Ia summer the animal should either be allowed to run out to pasture or fed on fresh-cut glass or similar green food. There are, however, cases of heaves that are incurable, owing to certain organic diseases of the bronchial tubes or the rupture of the air cells in the lungs, bul such cases are comparatively rare, while the ordinary foim of heaves is more or less common.?New York Sun. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Eggs in the incubator should not be handled too much. In winter it is quite an item to have the poultry nests as warm as possible. Have the chicken ne3ts reasonably deep and plentifully supplied with clean straw. The object in caponizing is to improve the quality and increase the weight of the fowl. To keep the chickens healthy the brooder must be kept clean. Use dry. sand or bran to sprinkle over the floor, and this should be changed oftei enough to keep clean. Feed soft feed in vessels. ? To dry-pick fowls without tearing them the work must be done &s soon a* possible after they are killed and whili the bodies are still warm. If properly done the fowls will present a plumper appearance. Moisture is the agency which destroys most shingle roofs, and moss encourages moisture. If well seasoned shingles be dipped in lime wash and dried before laying they will last much longer, never allowing the growth of moss. On the farm we have "life free from conversational restraints, plenty of fresh air, sunshine, butter, eggs, and cream, glorious sunsets?these are among the charms that do not lose their attractiveness in the vistas of memory." If tree3 are heeled in the fall for spring setting, care must be taken to separate and to see that the soil is wel/ filled in around the roots and that thorough drainage is provided. If this ij done this is the best plan to follow. The beneficial effects of a cl6ver sod are not confined to the nitrogen it contains; the mechanical effect in loosemns the soil, especially heavy soils, is an important item,and it also serves as a mulct in retaining moisture in time of drought. Ducks are growing in popularity among our farmers, some keeping fewer chickens and increasing the number ol ducks. Rightly mac aged the duck is a wondertul iowi, one mat mases ior xnt farmer a good deal more than he feeds it. Many a nice calf skin is sold for fifty cents or less, an especially "green" one often as low as twenty-five cents. Tanned with the hair on, by the aid of alum and salt, it would be excellent for mittens, Tests to keep out wind, and for caps. Turn a ram in with a lot of "ewes and never take him out to feed and water? the result is you have a lot of small, weak, sickly lambs; besides you ruin your ram for future use as a lamb getter and at lambing time you will have lots of trouble. Axtell, when a colt, was fed during the winter on corn stalks and oats. The stalks do not seem to have injured his wind or speed; still there are many who claim that stalks are unfit tor horse feed and should be thrown away rather than used for that purpose. A breeder declares that if a cow should be born without a tail she might be used as the founder of a family of tailless cattle. A pure bred Shorthorn heifer was born hornless. Several of her calfs were also born nulled^ these were care fully saved, and iu time a strain of polled Shorthorns-were produced. When you are short of funds don't try to raise them by an increase of acreage, but by increase of care bestowed in putting in crop. There is nothing gained by killing your teams and your BoiL Plow deeper, harrow liner, sort over your seed better, -cultivate better, and your crops will bring more money. When horses are going into the barn it is well to give a little food, such as ! roots or mashes. During the summer horses are liable to take into the stomach parasites which change into different kinds of worms. These must be expelled or the horse will not thrive during the winter, and it is necessary to keep young horses growing all the time. For horses timothy hay is preferred, but clover ie better for cows. Cows will give more milk from clover ana thrive better thau upou timothy, but in ordir to keep them in full flow of milk they should have a variety, and if ensilage can be provided it will be found an excellent addition to the ration. If not ensilage, chey will relish roots, turnips, mangels, or carrots. The Houdan and white Plymouth rocks make a good cross for excellent layers ind table poultry. Where there is a demand for cross-breeds this cross will be found a good one, and a few pens of such fowls will be useful and profitable. Usually the demand for market chickens exceeds the supply, and few farmers or breeders care to place their surplus of high-class stock in the market at market rates. Feeding like any other investment of money, should pay the proper interests on the capital used. If the animal fed ? i ? i . _ cannot pay d&cic a iair interest on tnt cost of food, both should be applied to more remunerative uses?the capital transferred and the animal converted into cash to be profitably applied. Nearly every farmer in America and elsewhere lcses the interest of the money invested in unprofitable live-stock. , , r . ' * ' A j'- i _ -M,? ' ,i ^ ; /' v" *,( I The Oldest Postmaster.

They Met by Chauce. The Triple Alliance. The defensive alliance between Austria and Germany was negotiated at Gaatein and Vienna by Bismarck, in consequence of the unfriendly attitude of Russia. Italy subsequently joined the league, and after its renewal in February, 1887, the terms of the original Austro-German treaty of alliance were for the first time published to the world. The new treaty, except in minor particulars in respect to the military forces to be maintained and the conditions of mobilization, is officially declared to be identical with the other. The agreement is generally understood to be that if either Austria or Germany, without being the aggressor, is attached by Russia, the combined military forces of the two empires will move against that power; if France Ehould at?ck either Germany or Italy, she would be opposed by both those powers acting in common; and if France and Russia should combine to assail one or more of the allied powers, the entire military and naval strength of the league would be called into immediate action.?Detroit Free Press. "Down in the Month." One on Bismarck. Here is an old chestnut revamped,and told on Bismarck. He was commissioned to decorate a hero with the Iron Cross. "I am authorized," said Bismarck to him, with that liking for playiag jokes which tms been so strong throughout his career, "I am authorized to ofleryou 100 thalers instead of the Cross." 'How much is the Cross worth," asked the soldier. . "Three thalers." "Very well, then, highness, I'll take the Cross and ninety-seven thalere.': Bismarck was so surprised and pleased by the ready shrewdness of the answer that he gave the man both the Cross aod the money.

'If I only had the owner to please," said a prominent carriage builder to me, "I would make a fortune in a few years, build up my trade and give perfect satisfaction. The principal trouble in this business is giving money to tho coachmen and carriage washers. They all expect it, and I must 'feed' them or I will not get the work. When I started in business it was very discouraging. I had the best of work done on every carriage., The vehicles were made as well as possible and repairs were skillfully done, but not a quarter of their trade came back. "The coachmen who came with the work often spoke about presents, but I did not think they were hints to me. One day I was conversing with a boarding stable owner and he explained why carriages did .not come back the second time. 'You Have to give the ccachmen i $20 or $50 bill occasionally. 1 was in the business years ago, and the coachfiien used to wash the carriages with hot water so as to destroy the varnish I put an.

The distribution of population relative to mean annual rainfall indicates not only the tendency of people to seek arable lands, but their condition as to general healthfulnes9. The average annual rainfall in this country is 29.6 inches, but the variations range from zero to perhaps one hundred and twenty-five inches. Gauging the distribution of the population in accordance with the annual average rainfall in different localities, some 1 interesting points are observable, not only a9 to the number of inhabitants in the areas calculated, but as to the density : of population. The greater proportion i of the people of the United States are < living in the regions in which the annual rainfall is between thirty and fifty inches, i Mr. Gannett calculates that about three- 1 fourths of the inhabitants of the country are found under these conditions; and, further, that as the raintall increases or diminishes, the population diminishes i rapidly. The density of population in regions where the-average rainfall is between thirty and forty inches is 43.1 per square mile; in regions where it-is from forty to fifty inches annually, the density is 59 per square mile; in regions where the rainfall is from fifty to siity inches annually, the density is 25.1, and in the arid regions of the West, where the rainfall is less than twenty inches, being twofifths of the entire area of the country, less than three per cent, of the population finds its home. The population has increased rapidly iu the regions having from thirty to forty inches average rainfall.?Popular Science Monthly. Remarkable Bowlders. Accepting reported measurements, the largest erratic block, or bowlder, as yet recognized in the United States, and probably in the world, is in the town of Madison, N. H., and, according to Professor Crosby, of the Boston Institute of Technology, has the following maximum dimensions: Length, 83 feet; width, in excess oi 45 feet; Leight, 30 to 37 feet; contents, 90,000 cubic feet; and prob able weight, 15,300,000 pounds, or 7,650 tons. Next to this in size is undoubtedly the gTeat rock in the town of Montville,New London County, Connecticut, generally known by its Indian designation as "Sheegan," and also as "Mohegan." In the opinion of some, this rock is an isolated granite protuberance, and not a true "erratic" or bowlder; but recent examinations have seemed to completely negative tjie first supposition. Its approximate maximum dimensions are: Length, 75 feet; wiriMi, 58 feet; height, 60 feet; contents, 70,000 cubic feet; weight, 6000 tons. If allowance be made for an immense fragment which has fallen from its northeast side, the dimensions and cubic contents of "Sheegan" would approximate more closely to those of the Madison bowlder. One point that goe? far toward substantiating the claim on behalf of the "Sheegan" rock that it is a true bowlder, is the number of undoubted bowlders of an immense size and of the same granite whicb exist in comparative proximity. ?
