FEEDING MANGOLDS.

CrrniHii FarmerH Have Fed Them Su©c'eHMfuIly tor Years. All kinds of cattle are feci extensively on mangolds in middle and south (lermany as well as in France and England, and they are one of the most important and safest crops we grow. We •im to make turnips last from November 1 until Christinas, by which time they begin to get bitter, and then we start on the mangolds, arranging the daily ration so as to make them hold out until May 15. When the supply is plentiful, 1 feed 40 pounds per day to each cow in milk and 50 pounds to a steer. They are cut into fine strips. I have fed them for the last 30 years and never known any damage to arise therefrom. They are fed with advantage to young stock, sheep and horses. Mangolds do best the year after the land has been manured. I haul my barnyard manure on clover stubble and

■eed down the middle of September to rye and winter vetches which give me a heavy crop of green fodder the coming spring, before anything else ia in sight. Whatever is left of this on May 15 is cured to hay, the land is broadcasted with 300 pounds of basic slag and 200 of kainit and turned under to be ready on June 1 for the planting of tho mangolds. The Eckindorfer is to-du> by far the most profitable kind to grow, perfectly cylindrical, smooth and flat at the top, with scant foliage and but one root. Then it is easily harvested and has no woody part about it; even specimens 20 pounds in weight are to-day— May S—fresh and soft all through. We consider 20 tons per acre a good crop. We plant at 24 inches between the rows and keep the ground well stirred and

free from weeds.

Mangolds are never given alone, hut always in combination with hay and straw cut into IJv-inch lengths. As we cannot have the silo, we contrive to get a palatable food in the following manner: A box. shown in cut, is built out of pine scantling and 1 J^-inch boards, with the top and front open, the whole divided into three equal compartments, each to hold an entire day’s feed for all animals, space being calculated on the basis of two cubic feet for each cow. A 8-inch layer of chopped hay and straw is now spread evenly on the floor of the first compartment; then follows a thin layer of sliced mangolds, which have previously been mixed with the daily allowance of oil meal and bran; then another layer of chopped hay and straw, treading down firm as it grows up and setting in the front boards as needed. When full, a board covering is put on. On the second day the next compartment is similarly filled and on the third day the last one. On the third day we commence to feed from the first oompartment: this has now become thoroughly heated and has entered into a sweet fermentation giving an agreeable odor to the whole mixture, and the avidity with which it is consumed proves tlint it is relished. The increased flow of milk shows that the cows are grateful for our having “roots on the brain.”—J. F. Narg, in

Hurul New Yorker.

cnee, and it is hardly too much to say that on its growth during this period depends in a great measure the future value of the tree. If it receives a check at this point in its career its full possible perfection will probably never bo realized. Of course much of the first season's successor failure depends upon the care or carelessness with which the transplanting has been done in tho spring, but still the summer care will have much to do in helping the tree

through the first season.

The greatest danger the tree will encounter is the scalding effect of the midsummer heat and the weakening of its vitality by a drying of the earth about the roots. The first difficulty will be at least partially obviated, and the latter almost wholly, by taking care that the earth is made firm about t'he roots when the tree is transplanted and kept thoroughly well mulched. The mulching should be spread on thickly and as far out from the trunk of tintree as the roots run, and if carried considerably farther it will be alt the better, as the moist condition of the soil beyond the extremities of the roots

will induce good growth.

Another care of summer is to ba on the lookout for the eggs of the apple tree borer that may be deposited upon the trunk, from which eggs, if not destroyed, will come a brood of larvue capable of inflicting irreparable damage upon the tree. Another important summer care is the cutting off at ones <rf all branches that are not desirable for the growing tree to possess, as in this way much strength can be saved to be expended in growth, where growth is desired. Care at all points throughout the season is amply repaid by the orchard in after years.—Webb Donnell,

Kothscuii.d, the proprietor of the Golden Kule store, at Bedford, whose stock of goods w is set on fire, was arrested and given preliminary trial. Some very strong testimony being against, he was bound over to court under $5,000 bond. The goods were all lost, but were insured in several companies.

Mnim A iU|t .a tmir.v * arm. The business of dairying should not be mixed with other brunches of farming. but should be made a specialty. The farm can then be laid out in three equal fields for the three-year rotation —Mover, corn and wheat. Any portions of the farm undesirable for cultivation can be seeded to permanent grasses for pasturing young stock, dry cows, etc. The tillable portions of the fai-Ki, then, will furnish clover for hay, corn for ensilage, wheat for a money crop and the straw for bedding. The wheat money can be reinvested on the farm, in the shape of wheat bran or oil meal, which will make the business self sustaining, and give, with the sale of surplus stock, a source of income which is constant and reliable. All fertility remains where it belongs, on the farm, ami like the widow’s oil its hidden resources are ever ready to respond to proper demands. — Column's Hural World.

s,illinK the Dairy Cow.. We used to know careful farmers who made it a practice to salt cows every Monday afternoon after return from church. Once a week is better than leaving the salting to accident, but if salt is placed where cows can get it nil the time they will out eat too much of it. Bock salt is best. Leave large lumps of it where the cows can lick them and you will soon find that they will visit them daily, taking a small amiMint at a time. Thus fed there is no temptation to get more salt than is for the animal's good. Salt in quantity cannot be digested, and, of course, acta as a powerful purgative. Eaten in moderate amounts it makes the digestion better.—Column's Rural World.

Grapes sprayed with the Bordeaux mixture according to tho directions of the department of agriculture cannot possibly coutsin more than 85-1000 of a grain of copper per pound of grapes in the bunch, which is less than one-tenth as much Is contained in one pound of beef liver ^nd is absolutely inoffensive to the human system. Tlu' insoluble form in which the salt of copper occurs upon the 'dusters, and thn /tel that the stems and skins are n< > eaten, places the Bordeaux mixtureatill further from suspicion -Farm and Home.

The more vigorously a plant grows the less liable it is to become the prey of inseets. Weak animals and weak plants both invite attacks of disease and insects. Pi.axt the plum orchard where iteau be utilized as a chicken yard when in bearing, for the chickens will keep down the insects so destructive to plants. A New York horticulturist keeps sheep in his orchard and considers them the bos) insecticide he knows of. He has pastured hisorchard in this way for fourteen years and it is in good condition. It is sometimes advisable to renew old orchards, especially for small planters. The work must be done carefully and the land enriched and cultivated thoroughly in order to secure good results. A good authority on small fruit culture has said that in planting a ten acre tract he would divide it as follows: Three acres of asparagus; two of strawberries; two of blackberries, and one of raspberries, leaving theother two for buildings, shelter belts and garden.— Orange Judd Farmer.

KEROSENE EMULSION.

A Valuable Insectleble Even Wlien Applieil to Flowers. The kerosene emulsion is a valuable insecticide even when applied to flowers, a use which some no doubt have never thought appropriate. A Pacific coast writer says in his southern experience with tender plants, such as pelargoniums, geraniums, and the like, he was very much troubled with a little green worm, also a green louse (aphis), lie tried sulphur, tobacco smoke, gourd leaf smoke, and various other solutions. His gardener often troubled his head to i put an end to the torments, but to no | permanent purpose. In a few days j after the drenching they were as bad as ever. The worms they would pick off and thus get rid of. A few days ago he discovered on some large pot plants both pests at once. By a thorough spraying with kerosene emulsion not one is now to be seen. The emulsion is prepared in a small way by putting one cup of boiling hot soapsuds into a bottle. Then add two cups of kerosene oil and shake vigorously for five minutes. A little of this, diluted with from ten to fifteen times its hulk of warm water, will make a solution of the proper strength for spraying. Ons of the little perfumery sprays worked with a rubber bulb will answer every

purpose.
