FEEDING THE FIRST MILK TO A COW. It is taking wholly unnecessary trouble to give the first milking of a newly calved cow to the cow. This Bhould be given to the calf, for which nature intended it, not only as the needed food, but as needed medicine to clear the bowels of the accumulated matter at the time. It is depriving the calf of its proper nourishment and throwing it away on the cow, who has no use whatever for it. Any decently mannered cow will resent such a meal as this. A good drink of nice sweetened oatmeal gruel will be more deeirable for her. ?New York Times. MANURING FOR BOOTS. Roots require a large amount of available nitrogen, but it is never advisable to plow under large quantities of stable manure where they are to be grown. This makea the soil too dry for the best growth, and it also fur nisnes most 01 tne nitrogen in tne nottest weather when the roots need it least. Turnips grow hollcw and pithy when manured with Btable manure. It is also likely to breed worms, which will attack the roots and make them worthless for marketing. Soluble commercial manures that will stimulate early growth will pay. Later in the season the Boil, if fairly rich, will develop enough fertility without manure. ?American Cultivator. SPRING CARE OF LAWNS. In many sections of the conntry it is customary to cover the lawns which surround the dwelling houses with stable mnnure, with the view that the 6pring rains may wash the fertility contained in it into the soil. While this process tends to enrich the lawn, ii at the same time makes it very un-i -l.il-. *v> A r? r? bi^UUJ itUU uujcunuuauio 1U mauj ways, as the manure generally brings many weed eeeds in the lawn, and unlesK it is very fine,it madesthe growth of the grass uneven. For small lawns, especially, a high grade complete chemical fertilizer prepared for lawns i is far preferable, and produces an immediate effect. If it is not obtainable, put on ulfleached wood ashes and fine bonemeaL?New England Homestead. WHITE FOWLS POPULAR. 4 White fowls, especially those for table use, are becoming more popular than ever before. Those most desired are White Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes, because they dress beautifully. The skin is golden butter color, and : to a particular buyer of table fowls i Vilu -id r\rt a r\f 4"V?q rloai A nAlfltfl "in A. I table fowl. In Massachusetts a breeder : of poultry (especially these two varieties) keeps 20U0 of each kind on two separate farms with great success, keeping them pure and breeding them . to perfection either for the table or exhibition points. If you want fowls for table purposes you cannot select 1 better than White Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes. They will fill every i requirement either for the town breeder or for the farmer. They are also considered good layers, but are not bred so largely for egg production as they are for general table use. They are pretty fowls on a grassy lawn; and with the crowing of the males and singing of a lot of lively pullets no better music could be desired about a rural home.?New York Independent. SOWING GRAIN FOR GREEN MANURE. It is sometimes the practice of farmers when plowing a garden to seed with spring grain, either oats or barley, the purts that are needed for planting three or four weeks later. By this time the grain will make a growth of four or five inches. It will not be worth much as a fertilizer, but being full of sap the leaves will decay in the soil, making it warmer than it would i if nothing were to be plowed under. When this policy is tried peas should be substituted for oats or barlev as , the green manure. The pea leaf is ^ broader and the pea being larger will make a bigger growth than the smaller grain. Besides, pea vines are richer in nitrogen than either oats or barley, and, therefore, add more to 6oil . fertility. It is doubtful if oats or barley return anything to the soil except what they have taken from it. Pea roots have the power of decomposing air in the 6oil and using its nitrogen, though this is not done un til the pea vine and root are weiJ advanced in growth. If grain is sown for green manure some fertilizer should go with it. It will produce a better effect than if saved until the later plowing, when quite likely there will not be sufficient rains to dissolve it. 60TTP. MILK A3 FEED. It is well known that many people with whom fresh milk disagree, because it is too hard to digest, can take sour milk or buttermilk which is 6our and suffer no ill effect from it. The alight sourins', if not carried too far, is an aid to digestion rather than the reverse. You observed that so soon as you began feeding calves with sour milk instead of new fresh milk thev were attacked with scours, and often so badly that it took months for them to reco ;er. The trouble in this case vas not that the milk was sour, but that it bad become cold, and, beiug 4.1.y> in Inrrra niifin. lUlvL'U ililU LUU ni/viimvu iu a..i0w tities, nature took the only meaus poseihle to get riil of it. The digestion of calves is more often ruined the first year of tlieir life by feeding cold rnillc than in any other way. Herein is the great ndvantugo in feeding some kind of porridge mixed with the tour milk. The 2>orridgo is always cooked, and, being put in the milk while hot it jv.akes the whole of tlie temperature | of the blooil <>r of new milk. Calves raised in this way keep their digestion good and make excellent cows. The value of a cow as a milk and butter producer is more dependent on her ability to digest a large amount of food than on anything else. Not even X'jod breeding will make a good cow ii it has poor digestive organs. xnr: worth of fertilizers. In buying fertilizers you got about \7iict you pay for. It" you think a $2'J phosphate is goiiijj to yiehl as much plant food, or proJuco as good results, hs a high-grade fertilizer costing from m 830 to $10 per ton, yen will be very much mistaken. The higher the grade the more concentrated is the fertilizer, Ihe more actual plant food you get for a dollar, and the less of other unimportant elements you obtain. The source of your supply, the time and manner of buying and the quantity you buy, are the main conditions influencing the cost per pound of plant lood in standard fertilizers or fertilizing materials. If you buy only a 6mall lot from a local agent, and expect him to wait six or twelve months for his pay, you can rest assured that you will have to make good the expense of this method of doing business in the price you pay him. On the other hand, if you should join with a lot of your neighbors, put up the spot cash and invite bids from different manufacturers and dealers, you would get your fertilizer at the lowest price consistent with quality. The earlier you buy the better terms you can make, for manufacturers can afford to do better by a purchaser this month than At-?? ~ Vi A* /?V? 4 r\t ortn n am lUtJJ Uttu ait mo uci^ui ui iuo ocacuui I ?New England Homestead. MAKING BTJTTEB WITHOUT HAY. The scarcity of hay complicates the feeding problem, especially for those engaged in dairying, writes William West, of Illinois. I have eighteen cattle and five horses. All the rough feed I possessed last fall was straw from ten acres of short oats, and tea acres of shredded corn fodder. The problem wts what to feed the cows so as to get an average of one pound of butter per day from each cow milked, as I needed that 'amount to supply customers. I began feeding corn fodder as I would hay, adding a liberal ration of corn, bran and corn-and-oob meal. This method, however, consumed the fodder too rapidly, much of it being wasted, and the milk yield was not satisfactory. I then changed mvjmethod to the following, with much better results: Six bushels of mixed straw and fodder are slightly moistened with salt water. To this is added one bushel of bran, one-half bushel of corn meal, six quarts of oil cake meal, and the whole mixed with a fork. This is fed to nine cows each morning, and it x liUC bULUH UU1UUUI lo |JiTCU on uigun j The ration' gives better results than any mixture of these feeds that I have j ever tried. Bran is worth $11 per ton, corn twenty-five cents per bnshel?to which five cents is added to pay for grinding?and oil cake 820 per ton, thus making the daily cost of the grain ration for nine cows about seventyfive cents. Each horse is fed a basket of straw and fodder night and morning, and is also given six to eight ears of corn three times a day. They are in better condition than when given all the hay they will eat. The cattle are registered Jerseys.?American Agriculturist. * FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. It never injures an orohard to manure it. Peach trees must be cultivated to ?^11 UU WC11. 2 Winter made plans make good antnmn harvests. Wood ashes are never wasted when nsed as a fertilizer. To get size nmong tree fruits, cultivate often and thin. The gooseberry flourishes best in a heavy, low, but not wet soil. Do not work a sick animal. Best is better than medicine, especially where the trouble results from lameness or sprain. Every farmer and stock raiser should own a pair of piuohers, a rasp and drawing kuife for cutting and shaping colts' hoofs. Poor seed never made a good crop, and a dull plow point is never economical. Only the best preparation produ?es the prize package result. Though experience is the best teacher in poultry raising, yet many useful hints may be learned from the successes and failures of your neighbors. The only way to be as good a farm9r (is your father, is to try and be a better one than he was. A good farmer forty years ago would be a back number in these progressive days. The Michigan agricultural college has been conducting extensive experiments in sheep feeding the past winter with a great variety of foods in various combinations. Clover hay with gram gave the best results. Remove any diseaeed fowls from the flock, that the rest may have no possible chance for contagion. Scaly leg is especially contagious, and a single fowl affected by it, if left to ruu with the rest, will soon contaminate the whole lot; and it seldom pays to attempt to cure a sick chicken. Tobacco with best burning quality is grown on carbonate of potash as a fertilizer in Germany, next best on sulphate of potash. In the Connecticut valley, sulphate of potash gifes better leaf than muriate, but cotton* hull ashes best of all, evidently because they furnish the potash in form of carbonate. Hy crossing we olten procure large, well-developed chickens, which often surpass in size and development either of their pure-bred parents. Of coarse, for breeding purposes these chickens are worthless, but they were not bred for that end; they develop meat aud pggs, and if they do tais work they answer ths emls of their being. Leather as a fertilizer has no value, whether untreated, steamed, roasted or palverized. It contains from six to eight per cent, of nitrogen bat is insoluble, nnd it may be years before it will decav in the soil sufficient lor plants to ta'ce up its nitrogen. Hence, in Connecticut and some other States, the law forbids its use in any form as **r\P mprnidl fprf.ili. zers, without an explicit printed certificate of tho fact conspicuously iixe.l to every p.ickage. Currant imd gooseberry bushes should be pruned by cutting out all the old and rotieth stems, and leaving not more than five or six of the best of the three-year-old ones. Two of the best of jthe last | year shoots may bo left, to come on to replace as many of the old ones removed each spring. The new s-hoots taken out may be planted for new plants as they will grow quite readily, and mako bearingbushes the third year.
