Linseed meal should not be fed to very young pigs except in small quan tity, and not very often, us it is too much of laxative for them. To prevent the formation of long tp roots and got a large number of small roots on plants raised in boxes use a shallow seed-bed, not over two inches of loam in the boxes. This dries out quickly, and care should be taken to ki ep it moist, There is inore gain, in proportion to its feed, during the first year of any animal's life than there is any time after. Acting on this hint, calves pre destined for the butcher including all grade males, may be well fed until they are a year old, and then turned i IT for beef. If killed thus early, the male should not be castrated. The utility of windmills on the farm is now very generally recognized and they are seen dotting hundreds of farms where five years ago none were to be found. A Western farmer writes that with his windmill he grinds all kinds of feed, makes a good article of corn-meal and graham flour, shells corn, runs a feed-cutter and a i'J men wood saw. When the farmers are advised to give warm water to slock, it should al ways be understood that if above blood heat it should have fed of some kind stirred in it to make it palatable ; bran or corn meal will do. If given to them clear it should bo, for the best results, only a little warmer than spring water, the icy chill entirely re moved. It certainly does not pay to keep a low grado of sheep and then let them take care of themselves. The small amount of wool secured, as well as the poor quality, is such that no margin of profit will bo left to the farmer over and above the cost. Even with poor sheep a much better growth of wool can be secured if they bo reasonably well cared for than if they be left to themselves. The very best time we believe to make plant cuttings of grape-vine canris is just as soon as frost destroys the loaves. Make two-joint cuttings, leaving an inch of wood beyond each Plant these at an angle of 80 deg. in mellow soil, a foot apart. Firm the soil, especially about the lower joints ; and then cover three inches deep after the first freeze with straw or litter. Ten tons of superior Texas cotton seed were shipped from Galveston, Tex., consigned to the German East African Colonization Society, Zanzi bar, Africa. An experienced planter accompanied the seed for the purpose of instructing the natives of Zanzibar in the cultivation of the cotton plant. This event marks tho introduction of cotton on the eatt coast of Africa. A method for protecting trees against rabbits and ground micf, prscticod by Missouri farmers and in dorsed by the Missouri State Horti cultural Society, consists in covering the trunk of the tree around with wire cloth. If this be inserted an inch or two into the ground, it is claimed that it proves an equal pro tection to ground mice, which often girdle trees at and below the surface during the winter. Experiments in pig feeding, instl tuted under the Danish Agricultural Society, go to show that skimmed milk has double the feeding value of buttermilk ; that rye and barley are of about equal valuo, with a slight percentage in favor of rye, and that six pounds of skimmed milk have the same feeding value as one pound of rye or barley, and twelve pounds of buttermilk are required to obtain the same result of feeding value. Thoro is no popular craze just now for growing sunflowers. It is quite as well, since the old-fashioned reasons for planting them are as strong as ihey ever wore. They made excellent winter food for hens, and if protected while yjung, the sunflower will rap idly tower up and make a splendid shade for them in hot weather, in the yard where fowls run. 1 he plant is a uross feeder, and even the henyard is scarcely too rich for it. Twenty years ago the value of fruit imported to Ureal Britain was given at about flS.UUU.UUU from all points. Now it lias increased to 137,000,000 Of the apples from North America. one-third reach British ports from Canada. Judging by the quantity shipped, the yellow Bollefieur must be immensely grown for American ex port, while the Baldwin also reaches Britaiu in immense numbers. The Newtown Pippin brings the highest pneo. Tho old-fashioned open ditch is in our climat an expensive nuisance. Every spring it is partly tilled with sediment, leaves of trees and soil washed down from its banks. There is, Inside, a waste of time in plowing, cultivating, and every other teamwork in a field thus divided. The sooner tho open ditch is made into an under drain the better it will be for the farmer's purse. It nisy cost at first. but it will pay every way. Except for bee ta and mangels, which thrive in hot weather, no beating ma nure should be us id for root crops. Turnips, carrots and parsnips are U t ter manured the year before with sta ble manure and some mineral fertili ser at soediug time. Too much heat and nitrogenous manure makes the roots grow faster, besides causing greater injuries from insects. Hog mature is especially tich and heating, and is therefore especially exception able on any ground intended for plant ing in root crops. MARKET REPORT.

Tho manager of tho Hotel del Monte, at Monterey, Cal., recently con traeted for a lot of cheap swallow tail coats, which he ottered to supply to his waiters for eight dollars apiece, at the saiuo timo pro mulgating an order that all waiters in his hotel must wear dress coats, This was too much for the free and in. dependent hash slingers of the Pacific slope, and they struck in a body. As in many another strike of recent date the only effect was that tho waiters lost a job. At Hartford City, Ind.. a girl who had been confined to her bed for nearly three year, and given up by her physi cians and friends as a hopeless para lytic, got up and walked about the room on being told that the man who had promised to marry her years ago was betrothed to another. She rapidly recovered and her recreant lover, hear ing of her wonderful restoration to health again, returned to his first love. All was forgiven and forgotten, and they stood before the altar and the postponed nuptials were celebrated. There is often wonder expressed how Chauneey M. Depew can stand the strain of attendance night after night on dinner parties, public and private. The mere task of eating and drinking, let alone making speeches, would use up ordinary men in a short time. His secret is to eat sparingly nnd to drink onlyone kind of wine. If he starts in with claret, he drinks nothing else. If it is s iuterne, then sauterne becomes the favorite for the night, and so with champagne. He likes champagne the iK-ttT, but claret likes htm and agrees with him betur than any other. NEWS. Walla Walla, W. T., will hav elec tric lights in a lew weeks. A brskemsn named A. A.
