SOME FARM TOPICS FOR 'MAT

THE GREAT USEFULNESS OF AN EGG. About Silos xfool and Mutton now to Rai Colts C ban gin About Mar. gery's Fault Household Hints Be and I'nrru Notes. Eirtrra Farmer. Eggs are a meal in themselves. Every element that is necessary for the support of man is contained within the limits of an egs-shell in the best proportions and most palatable form. Plain boiled they are wholesome. The masters of French cooking, however, affirm that it is easy to dress them in 500 different ways, each method not economical, but salutary in the highest decree. No honest appetite ever rejected an ejrg in some guise. It is nutriment in the most portable form and in the most concentrated shape. "Whole nations of mankind rarely touch any other animal food. Kings eat them plain as readily as do the humble tradesmen. After the battle of Muhldorf, when Kaiser Ludwig sat at a meal with his burgrafs and great captains, he determined on a pieee of luxury "one egg to every man and two to the excellently valiant Schwepperman." Far more than fish for it is a watery diet eggs are the scholar's fare. They contain phosphorous, which is brain food, and sulphur, which performs a variety of functions in the economy. And they are the best of nutriment for children, for in a rompact form they contain everything that is necessary to the growth of the youthful frame. Eggs are. however, not only, food they are medicine, also. The white is the most efficacious of remedies for bump, and the oil extracted from the yolk is regarded by the Kussians as an almost miraculous salve for cuts, bruises and scratches. A raw egg, if swallowed in time, will effectually detach a fish bone fastened in the throat, and the whites of eggs will render the deadly corrosive sublimate as harmless as a dose of calomel. They strengthen the consumptive, invigorate the feeble and render the most susceptible all but proof against jaundice in its most raaglignant phase. The merits of eggs do not even end here. In France alone the wine claritiers use more than 80,000,000 a year, and the Alsatians consume fully 38,000,000 in calico printing and for dressing the leather that is used in making the finest French kid gloves. Even egg-shells are valuable, for allopath and homoeopath alike agree in regarding them as the purest of the carbonate of lime.

From the figures that we have been able to collate we should say that the average weight of a cubic foot of silage is a trifle over forty pounds. Thus it wiil require a ppace of "fifty cubic feet to hold a ton of silage. Farmers can safely fitrure on this basis when determining the size of the silos. Many farmers ask how large a silo must bo 'built to hold the fodder from an acre of corn. It is obvious that no satisfactory answer can be given to this question. i?ome enthusiasts claim to have raised forty tons of fodder per acre. Others know that seven tons taxed their soil. Where one has little idea of the amount of fodder he can produce per acre it will be safer to build a small silo, rill that and handle the rest of the stalks about as Mr. IJice proposes. This will guide him for future silage work. Clover silage is not looked upon with favor by nianv dairymen. Thev prefer to feed it dry in connection with corn silage. It is urged that the clover is apt to mould in the Filo, and that a larger proportion is reasonably sure to spoil than will be found in the case of corn. Chopped clover keeps better th:m long, and it is found that allowing the clover to wilt on the ground before haul.ng to the silo is. a great advantage. In f.iet, with anv kind of crop, this wilting is beneficial. 'Clover ranks second as a silage crop, but corn is so far ahead on the list that the natural tendencv is to make the clover into hav.

A breeder of fine horses communicates to Turf, Fühl and Farm his plsn for raising fine colts that is worthy of being followed : The brood mare, after foaling, is fed liberally on grain. "When the flies are bad she is sheltered during the heat of the day and is given the range of succulent pastures at night. When the air is chilly she is housed at night and is turned out "during the day. Each mare is put in a box at feeding time so that she may enjoy her oats in peace. If the grain "is put into troughs out in the pasture there will be serious scrimmages for it. In every band there are two or three mares which want to rule, and at feeding time they rush from trough to trough and keep everything in a ferment. The grain is hastily Bwallowed and there is danger of the colls fetting injured by kicks. The foal will egin eating grain" when two weeks old, und if the mother is fed in a quiet place the baby wiil have more inclination as well as lime to nose in the trough itself. At five months old the f:il is weaned and it goes for the winter into a sunny and sheltered yard used exclusively for "weanlings. At night two colts occupy one box, and during the day the whole band enjoys the bright and bracing weather. Eaoh'is fed oats in a separat box ami is given plenty of good nay, and gathering in a Land for exercise promotes cheerfulness and aids digestion. .All this requires thought and attention, but it pays in the long run.

A large clas of farmers, every year, seemingly in tho vain hope of finding a promised land,. -where every want will be supplied and perfect happiness secured, change from one place to another. Every locality has it advantages, but at the same time with these them are always disadvantages, and to a considerable extent it may be taken into consideration whether the advantages please us sufficiently to over-balance the disadvantages. That is, whether we are satisfied or not. Yon cannot move from one farm to another in your neighborhood, if you are n good, thrifty farmer, without considerable loss, and when you are obliged to make a pale and dispose of your property, too often at a serious sacrifice, selling much at a low price that is indispensable, and that you will be obliged to purchase f-jrain. And when you have got everything well arranged for convenience, and then move to a new place in a strange neighborhood, with less privileges and adyaaUiges, it is

very often the case that not only your family, but yourself, become discouraged, and you either go back to your old neighborhood or go to another in the hope of bettering your condition.

Farm life is not always dull. Occasionally a lively incident varies the monotony. Early one morning last summer Aunt Margaret heard the fowls cackling, making a great fuss. She concluded that a hawk was around them, and, looking out of the pantry window, her fears were confirmed., She saw some ray object in the top of one of the apple trees, and called Uncle Charley's attention to the marauder. He took down a loaded shot-gun (his son had loaded it), and. with vengeance in his eye, sallied forth. "I saw somethin' gray through the leaves in one of the apple trees," said he, "an' drawin up I cut loose. Next thing I knew I was hin' flatter'n a pancake on the ground. The blasted gun was loaded to kill wild jerryboos, I jedge. It jest kicked me off mv "feet. Why, it kicked like a steer. "W-a-1, 1 got up "and went down to the tree, an' thar lay mv pet cat wit a dozen holes in her hide. Well, sir, honestly and candidly, I would rather have put a Sö in and shot it to pieces than to have shot that cat. It was all Marget's fault, anyway. I s' posed it was a hawk, of course. She said it was. Heavins on airth! .Marget's sixtv vears old. She ought to know a hawk' TO DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS The Indiana State Sentinel will not be sent to any one who is in arrears, after this issue. "A word to the wise," etc. Wool and Mutton. Within the past five years many flockmasters have abandoned wool as a source of profit from sheep and iriven more attention to mutton, the result being that sheep have paid large profits. It is being demonstrated that farmers have placed too much importance on wool, which is a mistaken policy. The sheep will give a larger profit than any other animal on the farm, but not only the wool, but the mutton, lamb and manure must contribute. TO DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS Tue Indiana State Sentinel will not be sent to anyone who is in arrears after this issue. "A word to the wise," etc. Farm otes. For home use the white onions are preferred, as they are mild in flavor. For market use the red and yellow kinds are the most desirable. Where the water is slow in disappearing from certain portions of the field the best remedy is tile drainage, which will incur but little expense. All canes of blackberries that have not been cut back should be attended to at once, as such neglect causes more laterals and makes the bush compact and stocky. Do not cover small seeds with too much earth. Half an inch is deep enough for some kinds, as too thick a covering would cause them to terish before they could germinate and push through. In addition to the usual thickness of tarred paper in woolen silos a coating of hot tar on both thicknesses of boards is now projosed. This, it is claimed, will preserve the boards from rotting. It is best to divide a large silo into two or three compartments of equal size; divided by temporary partitions. By this means slow filling can be practiced about as is described by Hiram Smith. The number of farmers who are making good silage in the barn bays is certainly surprising. Prof. Gullev'a plan of tilling the bilos and using the hay for weighting is practised by many very successfully. TO DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBEIi?Tiie Indiana State Sentinel will not be sent to any one who is in arrears, after this issue. "A word to the wise," etc. The common white clover grows wherever our red clover is found, and makes an excellent pasture grass. Where bees are kept it is invaluable, as it furnishes a large amount of honey of excellent quality. llmal Xew Yorler says: "Que thing seems to have been quite well demonstrated, that a larger quantity of potatoes, as well as potatoes of a better quality, can be raised with chemical fertilizers than with manure." In feeding silage or grain it pays to weigh a shovelful or measureful and thus systematize the feeding. It is better to feed by the pound, but it will not pay to weigh every feed. Know what your measurefnl weighs. Some perennial herbs, as sage, pennel, balm, mint, hoarhound, lavender, rue, thyme, savory and tansy are easily grown, and should 1m? found in every garden, as once obtained they require but little labor and care. Shady places may be made attractive with a ''wild flower garden," the seeds of which, comjiosed of a mixture of larkspur, mignonette, marigold, foxglove, candytuft, and poppies can be secured at any seed stc'.e. Breeders of fancy fowls, w hen pressed with orders, sometimes send out eg-s that are small and undersized. While suehegr may hatch, yet, as a rule, the chicks will be Weak and not easilv reared. Only full sized tggs should be shipjed for hatching purposes. In the West, where the ensilage system is being extensively pushed, the system of hiring cutters as threshing machines are hired is very popular. The cutter and engine go about from house to house with men enough to take care of the fodder as fast as it is presented. Thus many smaller farmers who could not afford tö own a cutter and power are enabled to fill their silos at a reasonable cost. Young peach trees that made rapid growth last season have been apparently killed in seme places the past winter. Do not remove them as yet, but wait for the buds to appear & long" the trunks, as will be the case if only the tops be dead. (Jut off the tops down to the nearest buds and ermit the trees fo make new tops. The lK-aeh treeeanstandany amountof cutting back. The cheapest and be.-;t mode of keeping nice out of the poultry house is to add a quart of kerosene oil to each bucket of strong soapsuds on washing dajs and thoroughly saturate the floor, walls, roosts and every portion of the joultry house, forcing the liquid into the cracks and crevices. It will kill the vermin as soon as it shall touch them, being one of the best insecticides known. Scatter ashes along tho rows of the young strawberry plants as soon a.s they shall be large enough to work.- Stir the earth, tako out all grass and then apply the ashes on the surface, and the rains will carry them down to the roots. Fertilizers for strawberries give the best results when applied near the surface and not worked into the soil, as the roots feed near the surface instead of penetrating deeply. Only one quart of milk per cow for each day may be the turning point between profit and loss in the dairy. As some cows will yield twice as much as others, it becomes the duty of the dairyman to raise his cows and use only those from good milking families. No dairyman can

succeed who buys fresh cows to replace those that dry off, as the chances are against him. No cow can be depended upon as a milker until she shall have been tested.

In opening cans of fruit turn them upfide down in a pan of warm water for three or four minutes, then wipe dry, and the top will turn readilv. Try it. Some genius found that roaches can get into a japanned tin cake-box with ease, but cannot scale the slippery side and get out again. Accordingly, ne steamed some cake, so that its odor" would attract tho marauders, and placed it in the box. Next morning the box was well filled. This was repeated until the supply of roaches was exhaust ext. For potted leef take five or six pounds of beet from the round, well down on the leg, and a pound of suet. Cover with cold water and simmer until the meat will drop to pieces and the water is nearly gone. Remove the suet, ami with a large fork pull the meat well in pieces. Season with salt, pepper and sage, and pack closily in a large bowl; when cold cut in slices. It is excellent. For aspic jelly pack into a stew-pan a couple of calves' feet, chopped in smaU pieces, a few slices of ham, and the carcass of a fowl, with a couple of onions and a few carrots cut in slices, a head of celery, one shallot, parsley, sweet herbs, spices, pepper and salt to" taste; fill up with any common stock, and set the whole to simmer gently for three or four hours. Strain olTthe liquor into a basin, and when cold carefully, remove all the fat. Thon put the jelly into a sauce-pan, and add to it as much such colorant as may be required to give it the proper color. Tut the saucepan on the fire, and when the jelly is melted whisk into it the whites of two eggs and a wineglassful of tarragon vinegar; let it come to boiling point, and strain it through a jelly-bag. It not quite dear, warm it again and strain it a second time. For good coffee allow one tablespoonful of ground coffee to each person, and one extra; stir well with an egg in a bowl, and put in coffee-pot which has been well scalded; pour as many cups of boiling water on it as needed, set on stove and just let it come to a boil, then take oil" and set in a warm place for a few minutes; if not settled enough a dash of cold water will do it. Tut a tablespoonful of cream or rich milk in the cup before pouring the coffee. TO DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS The Indiana State Sentinel will not be sent to any one who is in arrears, after this issue.

lire Notes. Dees are always made peaceable by inducing them to accept liquid sweets. Bees dislike any quick movements about their hives, especially any motion which jars their combs. Queenless colonies, unless supplied with a queen, will inevitably dwindle away, or be destroyed by bee moth, or by robber bees. A moderate increase of colonies In any one season will, in the long rnn, prove to be the easiest, safest and cheapest mode of managing bees. In districts where forage is abundant only for a short period the largest yield of honey will be acquired only by a very moderate increase of stocks. Bees, when frightened by smoke or bv drumming on their hives, fill themselves with honey and lose all disposition to sting, unless they are hurt. Rees should be furnished water if a good supply be not close at hand. In early spring water may be set out to them, to which may be added a little salt. Take a salt barrel that has just been emptied, soak it in water and set it out near the apiary, and the bees will show how they appreciate such a tonic. Do not purchase more than two colonies of bees to start with. If the owner can manage them successfully he will have in the fall (provided it be a good season) four good strong colonies and between 400 and f00 pounds of honey. If he should succeed his knowledge must increase in the same ratio as his bees. He must also expect reverses like the past season, which has been, with a few exceptions, an entire failure all over this continent.

Clark Comity Primaries Result Practically iu Ilia Nomination aud Election. LonsviU.U, Ky., May 11. Special. Returns from the primaries of Clark county come in slowly. The Co it rir rejourn al has advices that the Hon. Jasou Brown has carried the county by 20O majority or more. This insures his nomination by the democratic congressional convention, and as the district is heavily democratic, his election also. The other counties in the district Floyd, Harrison, Washington, Jackson, Jennings and Scott having already sfleeied their delegates, it was agreed that whichever cnudidate received a majority of the vote in Clark county should have the nineteen delegates as a unit. Brown has of the delegates already chosen thirty-seven; Leydeu. thirty-six. There are niucty-two delegates in all, and it takes forty-seven to nominate. Hence, Clark county holds the key to the nomination. An Kvil Tendency. Logitaspert Paare. Some republicans are criticizing Col. Matscn for voting against granting speckil peiisious to the wives ol (len. Logan and Gen. Blair. But we believe that the sober sense of the country will approve his record on the question. A very distinguished citizen, in speaking of the tendency to create a pension list that in time will be burdensome, said: "1 think it contrary to the genius of a republican form of government. We do not want a pensioned aristocracy. We have no 'blue blood' in this country. 'All xneu are created equal' not of the same stature or weight or strength physically or intellectually, but equal in rights and privileges under our our form of government. Equally do I disapprove of pensions to presidents' wives or generals' w ives, or anybody else, unless it he a dependent, disabled soldier. We want neither dukes nor duchesses. This nation is generous. It has taken men from obscurity and. perhaps, w ill continue to do so and placed them upon the highest pinnacle of fame. It has rendered 'value received' for the services of its public men. If individuals, from friendship or other motive, see fit to bestow favors, let thera do so; but for the sake of Jcllersonian simplicity, for the sake of the republic, for the sake of free institutions, let the government cease to pension the wives of distinguished men."
