HOME AND THE FARM.

A DEPARTMENT MADE UP FOR OUR RURAL FRIENDS. Dlar dvnntage ot Trying to A coompiuh Too Much—Device tor Loading and Unloading; Crain—Stunted pig* Not Worth Feeding—Orchard and Garden. Too Many Irons In the Fire.

Galling at the farm of a resident in one of the towns in Central jk Maine recently and, while much interested at the j.-X"? evident signs of f good farming ■{ that were every- - where apparent, —dr 1 could not help J 7 being impressed Jg • with the idea that the farmer was making a vital mistake in the course he is following, writes

Webb Donnell, in the American Agriculturist. The farm was taken in a run-down condition, with buildings small and poor, and fields so poor that they only yielded some twentyfive tons of hay. At the preseut time the place cuts about one hundred and twenty-five tons of firstclass hay. The fields are a delight, to the eye in their fertility and smoothness. The barn has been enlarge to probably four times its former size, with comfortable and convenient quarters for about thirty to forty hsgs and nigs, twenty cows, and eight or ten horses. A silo cf eighty tons capacity was put in last year. Butter is made from the herd of grade and full-blood Jerseys, which sells .at quite an advance on market rate. A large orchard has been planted, which calls for a great expenditure of care and time. Quitea large area is sowed to grain which, with the other crops that are raised, calls for a -Still further expenditure ol 'abor. A sawmill near .at hand his been leased, and business is being (jirried on here. A beginning has been made in raising heavy draft horses, by crossing a pure-bred SBercheron ok heavy mares. I found the propriety in a very gloomy frame of mi id, but hard at work. He had about : come to the conclusion that farming does not pay —that he-had to work like a slave, but received nothing f{r it. Even as be spoke, however, he kould sandwich in the remark, as tip conversation turned to various that he intended soon to build a siew barn, and go into sheep-raising, or that he should soon build another silo. It was easy to understand why the man was discouraged. I wonder that he did not see it himself. He has too many Irons in the fire, and is trying to do too much on a small capital. His dairy product m.ust pay well, but every cent that comes from it as profit is put into some new scheme, or spent In enlarging an old one. This keeps the farmer cramped for money all the time, and also'keeps him worked to the verge of desperation. There Is something very attractive about doing business on a large scale, and it may he profitable in certain cases where capital is abundant so that advantage can be taken in buying and selling, but it is siiiiply suicide for the average farmer, of limited means, to spread himself all ■over a 400-acre farm htfe in the East. The man of whom I write could probably make a good thing by dairying if he would attend to that solely, and he would moreover then have time to breathe and tb inquire of himself whether it pays to make a beast of burden of one’s self through life, getting only a living out ot it, ■simply for the sake of doing a large business. He would much better mark out ;a particular line of work for which hi 6 farm is suited, and which be knows will pay a fair profit.,and let his work all count for something. The merchant who, with limited means, tries to run a dry goods store, a grocery stand, a booli store, and a hoot aud shoe emporium, usually goes into bankruptcy. Farming will stand a pretty serious kind of mismanagement, and still give a family a living, such as it is, but the business won’t admit too much foolishness. The man who tries to carry on sheep-rais-ing, horse-raising, orcharding, hograising, cafctle-raisihg, dairying, and the growing of field crops, in addition to various outside schemes of moneymaking, .attempting to do a large part of the actual work by employing his own waking hours and those of his wife and children, is making a serious mistake. He may keep from going under with all his schemes, and in some cases may even increase the value of his stock, farm, and buildings, hut he does it at the expense of his own and his family’s well-being. No man has a right, unless he is peculiarly situated so that be is forced by necessity, to work to such an extent as to deprive himself of so many of the civilizing enjovmentsbf life, much less has he the right to deprive his family of them.

Of all people in the world the farmer and his family ought to lead comfortable lives, but a good many come far short of it, and too often through their own folly. They either farm ignorantly, or are striving all the time to do more than their capital, or their strength, will admit. It would be a good deal better in such cases as the last mentioned to take in some of the sail and pay more at tentibn to the steering apparatus, so that the craft won’t “wobble” about , so, and thus lose headway, to use a figurative expression. Attention to details is a matter of very great; importance in agriculture as well as elsewhere, and this cannot be given when one has too many irons in the fire. Spont for Hnntlling Grain. Take a board 10 inches wide and four feet long for bottom of spout and part of hopper; also, two pieces, 10 inches wide and 18 inches long, to

nailing cross-pieces to bottom. This

leaves 1} feet for hopper, and 2J feet for spout. Put on end piece, then side piece, 3 inches wide at small end, then 7 inches wide at large endJ The middle piece to which spout is fastened, is 14 by 30 inches. For unloading, fasten chains to hopper, 8 inches from end, and drive nails to hook upper end to. As bin fills up, move up' by putting boards in place under the hopper, and shortening chains. For loading wagon, put hopper inside of bin and fasten up with stick or hoard. Use heavy tin pail instead of scoop and you will find that you can handle a load of grain in less time, with less waste and less muscle than any way you ever tried. Hopper can be used at any ordinary granary door. —Will Zimmerman, in Practical Farmer.

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.

Stunted I'lja A pig that is stunted while young is not worth feeding to maturity. This is especially true of pigs farrowed late in the fall, and with which sufficient care has not been taken to give them a good start before cold weather. The feed that will he required to keep such until spring will be worth more than the pigs. Much the best practice, and one that is being more generally adopted every year, Is to breed the sows in the fall so as to start the pics mil on green food in the spring. This is much more economical, and the pigs are pretty sure to do better; but if you are in for the winter feeding of a lot now, try and dojt well. It is best to give some slop or ensilage, instead of an entire grain ration. A slop made of bran with skim milk will be good for the youngsters. As they get a little larger give them some soaked oats. Small potatoes, boiled and mixed with bran, will also give them a variety of food, and such as will promote growth rather than fattening. There is money in pigs, but it requires good care to get it all out. —Wisconsin Agriculturist The Secret of success. If butter makers had taken pains to avoid the economicsof butter making they could not have succeeded much better than they are doing now. In using large milk cans to set milk in for the creamery there is an additional loss of 2 per cent., as compared with smaller vessels. The breeds that give the largest fat globules leave the smallest amount of fat in the skimmilk and they are' the Guernseys, Jerseys. By setting the milk of cows that have been in milk nine months, the best way possible, it is impossible to get more than two-thirds of the cream. The only way to get it is by the centrifugal system, which ought not to leave more than one-tenth of 1 per cent, of butter fat in the skimmilk. Bychurning sweet cream between 7 and 23 per cent, is lost. Unpleasant odors in milk can be taken out by heating the milk to 160 degrees, but it is better to heat the cream than the milk and then cool it down to 50 degrees. If the butter will not came raise the cream to 70 degrees by stirring it, placing the can in a vessel containing hot water. But newer add water in any form to cream, as you lose in quality and quantity- As a rule you cannot increase the percentage of fat in the cow’s milk by feeding fat-forming foods, but the ciUantity can he inreeased.—Prof. J. W. Eobertson in Farm and Home.

uortliorn*. A good shorthorn is valuable wherever it may be placed—in the dairy for milk, or to feed for beef,but its most important character is tievand that which makes it of exceptional value to the general farmer, is adaption for the improvement of other breeds by crossing. The mixture of its blood with cpmmonor unimproved stock is quick to show good results, and it is in that way it has proven of such great value to the cattle interests of Great Britain. While other breeds may take the palm for special purpose, a farmer cannot go far wrong if he introduces some good shorthorn blood into his herd. Note*. A successful swine breeder in Kansas about once a week puts a quart of coal oil and two pounds of sulphur into each barrel of swill. Robert Steele, the famous breeder, has all of his yearlings broken to harness. He finds it necessary to begin early with the education of a colt. A breeder that cannot recognize the merits of the various strains of blood and the good qualities of the animal, whether he owns it or not, will never make a success in.the business. After a calf raised by feeding is a month old it will commence eating clover hay and can always be fed &ay .and bran to an advantage. If good care has been taken in breeding and feeding, from twentyfour to thirty months is the most profitable age at which cattle should be marketed. Skim milk is capital to feed the calves, coits and pigs—a great aid to digestion. With an abundance of grain it promotes rapid growth and development.

THE POULTRY-YARD.

Uree<l and Weight. 4 Although the Brahmas and Cochins aie considered larger than the Plymouth Rocks, yet the latter are but little less in weight than the Asiatics; the Plymouth Rocks, as a rule, always weigh heavier than they appear; we have known crosses of the Plymouth Rock and Brahmas to weigh as much as twelve pounds, which is a weight not easily attained by any class of fowls; just here we will say to our readers that weight does not indicate merit in a fowl alwaytj; for instanoe, it takes time to maks heavy growth and size, which, of course, is a bar to early laying. There is some advantage in having a pullet to come in early for laying, as she will often lhy enough eggs to compensate for lack of weight and if she begins in the fall the eggs will come at a time when prices are up. Plymouth Rocks fatten very rapidly after they aie matured, and should be carefully fed with a view to avoid such condition, as an over-fat fowl will not lay well, and, besides, they begin to set after laying only a small number. —Exchange.

This is obtained by mixing bran with corn-meal, and feeefing oats rather than much corn. Corn-meal alone is far too heavy. The digestive organs cannot extract all the nutriment contained in such solid substances. Mix the same however with light bran and the case is entirely different Thkke Is nothin? like keeping fowls busy. Idle hens as truly as idle boys are sure to “get into mischief,” which in the case of the hens consists very often in the acquisition of that very annoying and troublesome habit “egg eating.? Keep the hens scratching most of the time thereby giving them some|thing to do and promoting their general health and proliflcness. A half dozen small “hen coops” are much more usefu. than one massive structure affordiig an equal erea. We all know that a loop of ten or twelve hens is usbally profitable whereas multiples oi the same are rarely satisfactory. This is the great secret of running i large poultry farm. Divide up so that each individual bird* may iave “as good a show” and as much »om as upon the ordinary farm, when not more than a score or two of furls 'are usually bred.

The trees will point out their needs .and you will #t to understand their language, whiiji is a safer guide than all the orthodox rules found in the books. .If the soil lacks nutriment and the trees are hungry the little yellow lea\es tell it plainly. Sun scald.and borers arc both Inflictions readily noticed. Scraping the baulk .and washing with lye and soap is .foolishness.. If thb tree is vigorous .it .can probably standi it, but if it is .not you can not supplement the lack by any such nonsense. The scurvy apple tree and tt e scurvy pig are not common terns, and they .cannot be treated al ke. The cause may be -similar—inaiequate nutrition, but wbile the pi ? gets a little sympathy and the big feed of milk niter the washing, the tree must stand the scraping without protest .and without a corresponding dose of fertility. Some of the potash might possibly percolate out to the feeding roots .and be taken up into the circulation, but it is doubtful if vegetable .diseases respond to an application ■of liniment, ointment or salve. An .applettree.does , not shed its coat as it does its leaves. Last year’s jacket gets too small and cracks open for the .new one growing under It, the tatters hanging to the body over the pew suit. Whether the tree is thankful for this scraping service I much doubt. Indeed, it is possible, and quite probable, that it needs just this tattered mantle to protect itself from the suu. The tree needs just ordinary .common sense and the exercise of it upon the young orchard is needed to make a success of such an undertaking.

Late-eiMUad I’otatoes. One of the advantages of lateplanted potatoes is that it gives chance for more thorough preparation of the soil. One of the evenest and best potato fields seen this year was grown .after corn. The field was plowed three times, thoroughly mixing the soil and impossible those air spaces under furrows, which, when they come under a hill of potatoes, are not often remedied all the season. A poor hill occasionally greatly reduces the yield. It cannot be avoided except by most thorough preparation of the soil before the potatoes are planted. Pfanlni l'nrmant Grsartb. All pruning done before the buds start into growth stimulates those that remain so that they grow all the more vigorously. Pruning trees when in leaf Is, oil the contrary, a check to the Whole plant, and does not stimulate what is left. It is quite apt, however, with very vigorous trees, to cause fruit buds to start, and may thus be sometimes advisable to bring young orchards more quickly into bearing. The national debt of England first appears as a regular expenditure in 1094, though no doubtit had practically existed long before. With some fluctuations it grew and grew until, at the close of the great war in 1815, it amounted to nearly £900,000,000 —more than all the other national debts of the world put together. It seems a singular commentary on our great triumph over Napoleon that, while France came defeated out of the war with a debt of only about £70,000,000, we, who were victorious, had incurred orte of £900,000,000. This enormous sum has been slowly reduced; but at the present moment, and even after deducting the amount of loans made to local authorities and the purchase money of the Suez Canal shares, it still amounts to £731,000,000. The Americans are setting us a noble example, and paying their debt off with much greater rapidity. —English paper.
