AGRICULTURAL.
Devoted to tho Interest! of Farm en

A little oilmeal fed judiciously will
save carding atid elbow grease.
A cow is a mill. You can't give
poor hay and poor silage and justly
expect her to produce good milk and
butter.
All hw and wet places should be
, drained. A few rods of drain tile will
prevent slush and mud around the
house.
In no way can a farmer with less
trouble enrich a poor field with scanty
herbage than by feeding sheep on it.
So affirms an English sheep farmer.
If a solution of London purple is
used for spraying orchard trees, you
may know it has betn applied too
strong if yellow blotches appear on
the leaves ; later, the whole tree turns
yellow and assumes an autumnal ap
pearance.
The winds in the spring shake the
young trees and thereby damage them
to a certain extent, but this can lie
partially avoided by cutting back the
young trees as much as possible be
fore putting them in. The peach
tree will thrive better if cut back and
also become more "stocky."
Watermelon hills may be prepared.
Lay off the rows ten feet apart each
way, and at each intersection di a
hole two feet dep. At the bottom
place a few chips, than manure.
Next make a hill' three feet square,
and work plenty of manure into the
soil.
Plant beet, carrot and parsnip seed
early, so as not only to get ahe id of
the grass but to give plenty of time
for growth. The most important mat
ter with such crops is to havo a pi r
fectly fine, rich, clean seed-bed, and to
use plenty of seed. The seed is slow
in germinating, and often fail to sprout
at all.
A dairy export suggests that the
proper way to dry off a cow as the end
of her milking season approaches is
not to gradually cease milking her,
but to keep on milking the cow just
as you had been, but stop her food ;
not starve her down, but give her the
kind of food that makes more flesh
than milk and give her only a little of
it, just enough to keep her in good
condition.
Sprouts which start from the limbs
of apple-trees after sawing off should
be pulled off during the months of
July and August, as then the wounds
heal over more quickly than at any
other time of the year, while if they
are left on until the following spring
and then taken off more new sprouts
will put out to take their place. The
same with trimming trees, June being
the best time for the work and March
the worst, as then the wounds bleed
freely and the bark below becomes
thereby more or less disfigured and
subject to rot.
T. M. Winslow, of tho Ayrshire
Breeders Association, being asked
what is the averago yield of Ayrshire
cows, writes that he has collected
about 1.000 records for a year yield,
and he finds that for cows and heifers
the geneial is 6,525 pounds of milk
for the year, and of manure cows
7,000, for a selection . of 75 cows he
obtained an average of 9,220 pounds
and all of this average he believes was
obtained from ordinary treatment,
common to all careful dairymen and
and may be considered an average of
Ayreshire as a breed at this time.
That there is such a disease of the
peach tree as yellows is unfortunately
loo well attested. Still, much that
passes for yellows is due 10 other
causes poverty of soil and winter
killing of the previous year's growth.
In any kind of tree the withering or
dying out of branches will in time af
fect i's vitali'y. The apple is a great
deal hardier and stronger tree than
the peach, but even on this a dead
limb is, if i'ot speedily removed, soon
followed by others until the treo dies.
Iu many cases other causes of peach
trees dying are ascribed to yellows;
not infriquently the cause will be
found near the root iu an attack from
the borer.
In two days lawns may often be
greatly improved, by giving a denser
growth of grass, and by enriching the
soil with toicdr-ssing. For enriching
use line compost or pulverized old
manure, and if the soil is known to be
of such a character as to be strongly
beiulitid by superphosphate or other
special fertilizer, mix them with the
manure. First, and early in spring,1
loosen the soil with a steel rake or1
sharp, tine harrow; then spread evenly
the top drissing, and rake it thor
oughly: thru tow grass seed heavily,)
and hghlly rake it in. A roller passed
over it will piess the earth and seed in
contact and promote free growth. This
treatment is well adapted to lawns
which have become thin of grass, and
the harrowing or raking should be of
ten enough r. pealed to give the sur
face a fine pulverix ition.
It is stated that Mr. J. C. Jones, the
noted buffalo breeder, of Kansas, re
cently made a sale of live stock which
is out of the usual run of such trans
fers. He sold to Mr. Austin Corbin
of New York, whose country resi

of buffaloes three bulls and three

Nation and Texas. They are destined
for Mr. Corbin's farm on Long I -land,
where a number of native American
wild animals are to be gathered by
