330UT THEl FARM.
Sints for Farmers and Busy
Housewives to Appreciate.
The old idea that plants gave o
secretfons that were poisonous tothose
of like cbaracter with themselves has
been generously exploded by scientific
investigation. There are no such secre.
tions. Plants exhaust the soni, and
when they require plant food, which i~
scarce, the supply soon becomes di&
cult. That is all there is of it. The
worst case of so-called poisoned land
can be cured by applying the fertil
izers of which the soil has been de"
pleted.
When you go to the fair or the ware
house and see the improved elements
for farm work, do not turn away with
the idea that they were made to sell
and make money on. New conditions
require new methods, and while there
are many kinds of implements in the
market for each kind of work and each
agent or dealer tells the best story he
can about his own, it is safe to believe
that either of them are better than the
old method, and in many cases there
may be but little choice between the
new ones.
The old spike-tooth harrow was just
the thing to tear up the furrows of
the original soil that was full of brake
roots and would get sufficiently pulver
iied by the time it was levelled down;
but now with clear soil and smooth
furrows, scratching the surface is not
what is needed. The soil now needs
to be pulverized and made loose as
well as smooth on the surface, and
some of these implements which work,
below the surface, in a manner nearly
the reverse of the working of the
ancient harrow, is what we need.
Too much glass in hen houses ex
pose sthem to violent changes of tem
perature. When the sun shines the
house warms rapidly. At night and on
cloudy days the window glass radiate;
heat rapidly and produces extrem9
cold. Though no air comes in beside
the windows, there is a constant radia
tion of heat from glass, which loses its
heat with astonishing readiness when
exposed to cold air. But what shall
those poultrymen do who have large
expanses of window glass on their
henhouses? All that is necessary is to
double the glass or make double win
dows, and thus interpose a medium of
still air through which cold cannot
penetrate. This double glass admits
sunshine with no abatement of its
warmth, and once in a poultry house
it is not liable to escape by radiation.
Whenever the belief of Dr. Co]lier,
that sugar can be made at a cost of one
cent nr nound. becomes realized, it
-- u aemug 1 bLwer. in ract, were
sugar as cheap as it was three or four
years ago, before the trusts put up its
- price, its cheaper grades and refuse
syrup could be profitably given to fat
tening animals. Sugar is nearly pure
carbon, as also is fat. In the old days,
when slaves performed all the work in
shipping the canes, grinding them and
manufacturing their product, planters
always noticed that the negroes rapidly
fattened at this time, though working
more hours per day than at any other
season. It may be urged that so much
sweet food is unhealthful, but to this
it can be answered that the starchy
foods are in the month and stomach
converted into sweets during the pro
cess of digestion.
Chew a piece of bread or cracker
slowly, so as to entirely mix it with
the saliva in the mouth, and you will
find it becoming sweet from this chem
ical change of starch into glucose
sugar. It is not so sweet as cane sugar,
and probably not so fattening. A&
least it is more palatable, and animala
fed all the grain they will freely eat
may have their appetites whetted for
more by the addition of a little sweet
ening. Horses, when taught to eag
- sugar, often become extrem'ely fond of
it. A little wild oats will make the
coat shine, but it is not good for fur.
nishing muscle for horses at work.
Turkeys will not bear confinement,
and when at large they pay no respect
to farm lines and but little to dis
tances. In almost every neighborhood
there is now some one cultivating small
fruits, and a fiock of turkeys soon
make trouble. The general use of
par is green in the potato fields where
turkeys frequently search for insects
or green food endangers their lives to
some extent. The rabbits and birds
which are sought for human food de
crease faster than beasts and birds of ,
prey, and the latter are growing more
bold and ravenous. Another fact which
is perhaps as important as any is that
there are less boys and girls in country
houses to look after such things, and1
there is too much travel needed in
tending turkeys for the old folks to
add it to their other labors.
But with all these facts in opposi- -1
tion, raising turkeys can be made I
profitable in many places yet. Where
there is room for a large flock to range
it will pay to start a lot of them, and
when they get old enough to let out of
the pens, which will be in about a '
month from hatching, hire a boy or
girl to keep watch of them and keep
O damag or where their lives would
,e endangered.
Fortunately turkey-breeding has
wen kept down to solid business.. i
rhere has been no attempt that we
now of to breed them for fancy
reathers, for lighting purposes or for
dnging, but there are several varieties,+
hich, u with other things, have their
rances. We think the bronze turkeys
are as good as any, and are more hardy,
than the black. In selecting females i
for breeding look f9r long bodies and
short legs.
For Northern latitudes the Southern
Dent corn,'which requires a long sea
on to mature, is not best either for
.odder or ensilage. Some of the
'arlier Northern varieties, which will
3it}.er mature or come into earing, are
nuch better. It is not merely the
;maller amount of nutrition that is to
e taken into account. Much of the
sulky, immature corn put up in silos
is not worth the labor it requires to
handle it in putting it up and feeding
it out.
Try the fattening hogs with char
coal. Ten to one they will eat it
greedily, and will recover their appe
ites if they have lost them by too
heavy feeding. The alkali corrects
the ascidity of the stomach. Possibly
it might in time injure digestion, but
the fattening hog has not euough fu
ture before him to make this of much
consequence. Breeding hogs should
not be fed corn. With a diet of milk,
bran and roots they will not need the
charcoal.
Louis Keller, a Detroit butcher,
challenges the world to a contest in
sheep-killing. In a recent competition
he killed, skinned and removed the
inwards of twenty sheep in thirty
eight minutes and thirty-five seconds.
His opponent finished fifteen sheep
in the same time. The fastest
operation was a sheep in fifty-two
seconds. The contest took plade in a
hall in Detroit, and was witnessed by
a large concourse of butchers. The
show was gotten up by the same par
ties who two or three years ago got up
a horse-shoeing contest, in which Mar
tin Dunn overcame all competitors.
It would probably pay farmers who
do their own butchering, often by
slow and tedious methods, to go to
stockyards or other places where men
who make a business of killing ani
mals learn great expertness and quick
ness in these operations. After seeing
these they will certainly be able to
make quicker time at home, and will
get new ideas about convenience for
doing this kind of work.
Farm Notes.
With the ordinary farmer a medium
grade of sheep will probably pay best
in the long run. In any event, use' a
to year.
The bane of the sheep business here
tofore has been too much attention to
wool and too little attention to mutton.
The awakening interest in, and de
mand for, good mutton are favorable
symptoms, and point the way to future
success in this industry.
Plows that would dig the best among
rocks and turn over the biggest junks
of braky knoll were once in demand,
ut now we want the furrow turned,
over smooth and fiat so there will be'
no turning back of the sod where the'
harrow is put to work.
The exports from the port of Boston
for the week ending November 30, in
cluded 26,818 pounds of butter, 818,2
563 pounds of cheese, 113,240 pounds
of oleo. For the same week last year
the exports included 8348 pounds of
butter, 54,800 pounds of cheese, 90,
t0 pounds of oleo.
Do not forget to feed the chicks
plenty of ground bone, oyster shells
md an occasional feed of meat. Boil
me small potatoes or other vegetables
mixed with bran, adding a dash of red
epper and salt every few days.
Singer and sulphur may be fed in soft
Eeed occasionally.
The best of the young cockerels
hould be selected for use next year,
nn the rest should be forced for mar

A swindler sold a farmer in Clinton
ounty, Penn., a recipe for making
us wheat weigh twice as much as it
nght to, and the granger signed a
ontract to divide the money gained
>y the extra weight with the swindler.
Ehe contract eventually turned up as a
romissory note, 0 i the farmer paid1
30 for it.
Bran is rich in phosphates, but it is
food the hens do not Like unless it is
calded. Never feed it to them in a
aw condition, as it is liable to cause
iowel disease. A mixture of equal.
parts of bran, corn meal and ground
hats, scalded and albwed to remains
Lntil the mess~ is cool, is the best grain
ood that can be fed. 'C

Tea, cofli e or cocoa are three ad

the voice the Amrican Druggist recom
mends cocoa as the best. A cup of thin
cocoa, just warm, is more to be recom

The Coraican Vendetta.)'
Should a Corsican in revenge for in
jury done to himself or his relations,. or
even to his dog or his horse, kill another
with knife or coup defu&sil, public sym
pathy sustains him, the hills shelter him,
his relations feed him, and justice in the
shape of gendarmes winks with- both
eyes unless the murderer be very un
popular. True he is termed a "bandit,"
and has to take refuge in the macqui, as
the natural bush is called that clothes
the mountain sides. Well-informed Cor
sicans tell one that there are at this
moment in the island over 1,000 in
hiding. But please understand, the ban
dit is no brigand. Should you, defense
less, happen to fall in'with him he will
not take your purse, but, on the con
trary, offer you food if he has it and
shelter in his cave, and most probably re
fuse any payment for hia hospitality. It
i.s only his foe's family against which he
wages war, and of course in self-defense
with the gendarmes. These latter he
ill shoot with as much unconcern as a
voodock. And yet, though the Corsji
can will not rob you, it is not because he
does not love money. For a very few
francs, both Corsican gentlemen and
English residents aver, you can find a
nan who will do your killing for you
id.rid you of -our enemy with knife or
bullt. And while this utter contempt
ror human life provails there can be no
hope of the extinctioni of the vendetta.
