Many farmers think they make money when they allow animals to get bone poor in winter, but they are greatly mistaken. The only profit ever made in fattened animals is what is put on daily over and above the daily waste. The daily waste is a constant integer, an unavoidable one, and amounts to about what the animal will consume in winter of fairly well cured hay if kept in comfortable quarters. In severe weather when cattle are kept out of doors the loss, even when fed good hay, will often average a pound ■a day, and for the four winter months of severe weather this would show a loss of 120 pounds. All this must be mad* up the next summer. If this thinning down could be prevented the cow or steer would have so much to start in on when grass comes. Why not keep the animal growing right along from calfhood, or colthood, or swinehood, or lambhood, as the case may be? Those who make money out of stock do so. Did you ever figure on this integer of daily bodily waste in the feeding of animals? If so, you probably believe that the only way to make money in feeding stock is to feed fully from birth to the butcher’s block. It is the only way to reduce daily waste to a minimum and insure the largest profit for the food given. This waste is partly in keeping up bodily heat. Another cause of waste arises from exercise, and still another from the fact that the animal does not assimilate all the food eaten. But this latter waste —the manure—is not dead loss. If taken care of it keeps the land in condition to raise crops again to be fed out. The manure, therefore, is all the farmer gets for the food given an animal where it is so fed as simply daily waste. The gain in flesh represents his profit from the grain fed. If beef is worth five cents a pound and he gets five pounds of flesh to the bushel of corn, he receives 75 cents per bushel for his com. If the bushel of corn makes eight pounds the value of the corn fed is 40 cents. In the one case the farmer might come out about even; in the other the profit on each bushel of corn fed would be 15 cents. Jt is a matter worth figuring on.

HIS LITTLE RASPBERRY PATCH.

Thinking that his little experiment in propagating and cultivating a patch of raspberries would interest many who are fond of the berry, Mr. Cooley, of Apple*x>n, says the Milwaukee Sentinel, has Jotted clown his experiences for their benefit; .’’Having a small plat in my garden, a space 120 feet in length by 60 :n width, I concluded to devote it to raspberries. Having thoroughly prepared the ground, 1 procured good, healthy roots and staked each cml of the plat, so as to have rows six feet apart. I stretched a line from end to end of the first line of stakes, and commenced setting the roots, planting them one yard apart in the row, which gave me about forty plants to the row. I planted nine rows in the whole, aggregating SCO plants,.and by eutlin : ;.A the tops I got the full strength of the r >st for the first year’s growth, which 1 <• n der essential to the full development of the plant. After the plants got well started I mulched heavily with coarse litter to smother out everything between the hills and rows, thus rendering it an easy matter to keep the ground clean. I haven’t plowed or cultivated the ground since the first setting. My first work after the picking season is over is to go through and cut out all the old bearing wood, thus giving the young plants all the chance possible for next year’s crop. I coniine my bushes by trellising, to prevent prostration by storms and wind. My crop last year marketed over 800 boxes, besides what was used in the family and by the pickers, or an average of IJJ boxes to the row. My bushes suffered but little by the seventy' of last winter’s extreme cold, which I attribute to my cutting oft'the tops about Sept. 1, thus rendering them hardy enough to winter well.

FARM NOTES.

It is not he that sows but he that manures that gets the big crop. Illinois farmers are taking the lead in improving their lands by tile drainage. Memorial-trees planted on birthdays grow into living and lasting monuments. if the farm is small plow deep and manure strong. If the farm is also poor manure more. The ftoor of the lien-house should be dry if colds and cramps in the poultry are to be avoided. A correspondent of the Breeders' Gazette thinks it unwise to feed ensilage to breeding cattle. Meat smoked with corn cobs will have a better flavor than any other burning substance will give it. Are we lawyer-ridden? Eveiy village swarms with them, and they make a living by “hook or crook,” says Home and Farm. The Grange is represented generally by men in middle and advanced life. Why should it not be as good a place for young men? Many injurious insects and their eggs will be destroyed by raking up all the dead leaves and weeds in the orchard and burn ing them. If you happen to have wood ashes the kitchen garden is a good place to apply it as a top-dressing. If leached for making soft-soap it is still valuable. Water house plants only when they require it. This may be from two to three times a week, depending on how fast the soil dries out in the pots. An attorney, formulating a set of rules for renting land, wisely adds, as seventh and last: Above all, be careful in selecting your tenant. There is more in the man than there is in the bond. A farmer of North Belgrade, Me., says three bushels of plaster on grass land are as good as six. He would apply it just after the ground becomes bare in the spring and just before a rain if possible. To supply any lack of vegetable matter in the soil there is no readier or cheaper means than the plowing under of some green crop. Manuring with rye is an excellent way to ameliorate and enrich a garden. Professor Caldwell says that succulent food increases the flow of milk, but does not necessarily increase the proportion of water in it. The flow is greatest in June, yet the milk is no poorer than at other times. Carlyle has said: “Our grand business is, not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.” This truth is eloquent in agriculture. The man who sees clearly wlnit to do and does it is prosperous. Assist yourself in spring work by bringing up all odds and ends, square at once, see that all tools and implements are in order, and especially that the plows are sharp and well scoured. Then, when plowing time comes, go to work with vim. If you want to get the good-will of your hens, says the Prairie Farmer, feed them dry, hot corn at night. Heat the corn in an iron pan or kettle in the oven, and stir occasionally. No matter if it gets a little charred. It won’t do any harm to give warm water, either. If a plow or other steel implement has become very rusty, make a mixture of half a pint of oil of vitriol poured slowly into a quart of water, and apply to the rusted metal. Wash off with water, and scour in the usual manner. It is better, however, not to let any implement get rusty. Eveiy bed of asparagus should be manured in the fall or some time during the winter. The more thoroughly this manure is mixed with the surface soil tiie better. Mineral manures are best applied in spring after growth begins and after the heavy rains which might wash them away have ceased. .Sneaking of ensilage.
