The value of pumpkins, partic ularly, for milch cows or fattening cattle, I believe is conceded by most farmers, and their cultivation is almost universally assigned to the corn field. A few of our best farmers plant them with their po tatoes, claiming that their value is greater than their cost or hindrance in the cultivating of the crop with which they were planted..:In' a talk with one of the best practical farmers of an adjoining town,. years ago, he said to me that the true way to feed them.is to begin as soon as they are matured, so as to liave-them all fed out, or housed, before frost. For fattening pur poses, he said, well ripened ones were much the best ; for feeding to milch.:cows to increase their milk, greon ones_ would better ac complish that purpose, but the milk would not be as rich for but ter making as wheifed on well ripened specimens. I have found this to be cNrrect after more than forty years' experience. The ques tigp;is aked by "'F G.'hher it, is advisable to grow the pumpkins either as .a sep rte crop or asso ciated with corn. I think it very doubtful if this could be answered to WiiT sii~?ction of all th^e'iadors of the conintYV Gentleman. Last fall,-after the severe drought of the suamer ~ant icobsequently short fall feed, those farmers who had a liberal supply of pumpkins to feed their cows were highly pleased with th~em, some feeding at evening af ter milking, others giving them out in the morning. In either case there seemed but one opinion, and that was that they were of great benefit in the increased quantity and quality of milk. The past sea son we tried the experiment of culti vating the pumpkin in the corn field, in such a manner that the experi ment was fairly conducted. Suppos ing we had pumph'in seeds enough to plant the entire field 1 neglected to get more till I found that we vwere short, and while I went for seeds the men planted some two-acres of corn without any pumpkin seeds. We began cutting corn early in September, and not having help when we .began, myself and son nearly finished before we had help. The first day, when done cutting, we looked over the ground and were agreeably surprised at the number of large yellow pumpkins. -We also found that the corn was much better than we had anticipa ted, fearing the drought had cut short the ears, which did not seem to be the case. NWhen the entire field of corn was cut there was no perceptible difference between those portions where we had planted pumpkins or where none were used. The soil was alike on the whole field, and the manure was drawn on and spread in an opposite direction from which the corn was planted, so it would seem that the experiment was as fairly conducted as it could have been if done in tentionally. Usually where worms or crows destroy the corn, or a por tion of it, the crop of pumpkins will be the largest, but in our field this year such was not the case. In some of the poorest portions of the field and .also in the driest (or gravelly soil) the stalks were not quite so large as where the soil was of a loamy nature. I am well aware that a single experiment does not settle the question, also that different seasons no doubt would show quite different re-, suits on the same soil, and most certainly would on different soils and in different localities. A se ries of experiments by different persons, in different localities, would in a short time approximate so nearly to the facts that they might settle the question. There is one peculiarity about pumpliin seeds that I have never seen mentionedl to eat them .at will they become1 very weak after a short time. Can any one tell me why it is so ? I learned their benefit to swine by noticing a breeding Berkshire sow following where cows had been fed pumpkins in their night pasture, and picking up the seeds that would fall out of them when broken for the cattle, which. of course, the cows could not eat. Seeing her so busy, I thought it could not be c grass she was eating ; so I went to see what she was doing, and found her busily engaged .-in picking up the scattered seeds and eating them, and she grew fat on that feed in connection with pasture. Of late h years we have fed them to our hogs with good results. (Coe. Country Gentleman. AMATEUR BEE.KEEPI G.-In order to make bee keeping pay it is ne cessary that we prepare ourselves for the business that we make a success. First, we should be pro vided with such books as treat on apiarian science, read and study them, until we have become posted as to the nature, habits and in stincts of the honey bee, that we may be able to manage them, so as not to cross their nature. in any thing we may do. Whenever. our acts are in accordance with nature we shall be successful ; whenever we do anything contrary it will inter fere with their labor and prosperi- 1 ty. . If we would succeed we must understand the best manner of management. A man may have a large number of colonies around him and yet be very far from being -a- practical bee-keeper. The_ hive, the bees and alltheir surrpundings must be kept in good 'condition. Then? due attention, -in proper tiae, -will insure :success. Without the necessary knowledge it is use less to be to any expense, or to have anything to do with them. Many- -persons now keeping bees. receive no profit or benefit. Bee keeping, when properly managed, is a remunierative business, and is especially adapted to men who have become ~debilitated or are advanced 'in life and3 ladies who are dependent on their labor for their ~support. 1t is an easy vd cation and .within the ability of invalide Many who are knot suf ficiently stroni and healthy to pelform hard labor can atis'nd to an apiary, there .being but little labor retiired -after:they are onca put in proper condition. Thus it will pay to devote a little time and money to become posted in the best and -most successful manage- u ment. It is better to first send and get ideas of' experienced bee keepers than to learn by experi- t mental knowledge just what to do D and when-American Bee J1ournal. CerTING o B D-n day company arrivednunexpectedly. Sup- t per was just over and no bread had c been left.

It is the cold surface of b the steel applied to the warm dough ij that produces a disagreeable clam- 0 miness. I heated "my carving ~ knife and tried it. The bread sliced beautifully, and as I piled it 2 up to bring to the table, I put it on a plate upon which I had laid a fresh napkin, for the contact of the - hot bread with the cold plate would have produced the same sodden elamminess, on the surfaceg4 thet lower -slice. Of course; I would not recommend the slicing of hot loaves except upon emergencies. As, a fr-equent diet it might prove injurious, but not more so thani other warm breads. ([American Agriculturist.
