It will be a sign of progressive farm ing when the owner of awine aave clover for hi hog in winter, or goes further and preserve in a sile sweet corn, with which to winter and help hie hog. The possibilities of hog rearint; with the right kind of ensilage are beyond reckoning. Never grow trees of different kinds toKether until satisfied one doe not injure the other, aa is frequently the case when plums are grown near peache, thus inducing the curculio to sometimes attack the latter. A single wild cherry tree near an apple orchard will provide a harboring place for caterpillars, which finally in jure the apple orchard. There is a time to market produce, and that must be regarded if success is hoped for. It is decidedl t best to market as much produce as possible in the immediate vicity of one's home, and to sell directly to the consumer. In this way usually better prices are maintained, as there are no middle men to get their share, and there is also the advantage of dealing with peo pie whose standing is fairly known. But even if lower prices must be taken aa a rule it is better to sell near home than to take the risk of marketing at l distance. The value of the food is not in the available material contained therein for the production of meat or milk onlv, but also in the amount and qual- J T. ity of manure derived inereirom. 11 haa been estimated that one-third of the food eaten goes into the manure. As the manure, then, is simply the food stored away for future use, it is important that iu order to drive the greatest benefit from the food manure should be carefully managed to pre vent loss. As tbe food is not exposed to injury by air and water the manure is equally deserving of care. The manure-heap is the savings bank of the farm. If it is desired to have poppies very early, it is well to take " time by the fort-lock " and prepare the bed in the fall. Sprinkle the seed on the top of the ground just before winter fairly sets iu, 01 it can be done later. The finest poppies I have ever grown were Hown during a January thaw, while the bed was free from snow for a day or two. Poppy seeds are very tiny, an t if planted too deep will not come up, or if not sulhcieiitly covered soon dry up , but the rains and the melting suow seem to regulate the matter nicely. Use as little seed as your con science will let you, eUe the work of tli i lining out will be tiresome. Poppies should always be sown where they are to bloom, lor tkey are very dif ficult to transplant. Feed warm swill to your pigs in a warm place. Feed often and but lit tle at a time, so that the pigs will always come to the trough with a good appetite, and there will be noth ing left to sour. Feed the swill as fast as it is made, so that it doesn't got sour. Try to get your litter of pigs in March or April, that they may be tit for sale in eaily winter. Breed once a year, as this is a sufficient strain on the vitality, and breed to mature parents. If you breed from too young parent you increase the probabilities of infirmity and disease to which the pig is liable. Whenever you bring a new pig on the farm shut it up by itself for at least three weeks, until you have ascertained it to be perfectly healthy. i lie pulling t leu t her is a pure habit, which is brought on in flocks that have not enough to occupy their time and attention. When they once get a taste of the meaty end of the feather they are liable to extend their picking to something more than feathers, taking advantage of the naked condition of their companions by nipping at exposed bloody parts and allowing the poor hens no peace till they or their mates are taken ont of the pen. During the winter con linenipiit of fowls they should be kept as busy as possible by scattering their grain among leaves and chaff, so that hard scratching will be necessaiyon their part in order to get enough to eat. This will take their time and be liable to keep them out of mischief Aa a further prevention, some trim the edges of tho beaks, so that when they attempt to pull a feather it will slip through and thev cannot hold it Another remedy is to put on the fowl an appliance called the poultry bit, winch can be obtained of almost any dealer iu poultry supplies. If any person were to chain an ani mal to a stake in a field and leave it to shift for itself, then to watch the ani mal until it gets thin and decrepid from loss of flesh and strength, it is quite probable that the humane so ciety would be after him with properly deaervtd punishment. Yet this is what thousand of farmers are doing with their fruit orchards, of course barring the difference between the in satiate tree and living animal. Like the latter the tree is chained to one locality and cannot go abroad for food, but fortunately it haa no sense of suffering, or at least none that we can appreciate. And yet even for a tree there must be something akin to pain in the process of slow starvation the seeking by exhausted rootlets of food that cannot be found. It takes an enormous amount of various ma Bures to form fruit and seeds. The leafy part of the tree may mostly come from carbonic acid gas of 1 he atmosphere, but the stone fruit need a good deal of potash. Grapes and peart itquire a OUSMSWSJSMM ui..u of phosphate in addition. There ia, porhap. no place on the farm where a good dreaing of manure would de greater good than in an old apple n..,.i. rd where the trees seem to be running out. Much of the feeding of chickens i rtf ...it fnnd It is easily picked bv the little fellows, and they can quickly fill their crops from a dab of wet meal thrown on the ground before them. This too rapid eating is one of tbe worst evils in artificial feeding young chickens. Thev eorge themselves, be come surfeited and die.

Iiuwever, if the tit tle fellow is forced to do this work himself.

At present many country people want to know how to make quickly vinegar out of cider. Apples vary in the amount of sugar they contain Some that make thin and watery ci uer, or are largely diluted with water, will never make strong vinegar unless reinforced with more sweet. Any coarse sugar or molasses will do, as whatever impurities it contains must be thrown up to the surface in yiclent fermentation, and may be skimmed off. U the cider is all right, place it in tdarft. where some may be drawn off and poured back every day, taking nain to brine it into contact with the air as much ss possible. For this pur pose it is often filtered over coarse shavings or straw. The oxygen the air starts first the vinous or alcoholic fermentation, which is quickly fol lowed by the acid fermentation. The more sweet there is in the cider the stronger the fermentation and the sharfier the vinegar. If you have old cider that don't turn readily into vine gar, put it into an old molasses hogs head or barrel, and give it another trial. There are various methods of keeping cider from working. If your old cider has been subjected to any of these, it is better to make or buy a barrel of new. The cider that has been doctored to keep it sweet is hard to change into vinegar, and is not of the best when made. The common practice of putting the cider barrel in the coldest corner of the cellar, and then letting it work itself into vinegar without help, is not one to be gener ally recommended. A correspondent of the Country Gentleman writes from California how he saves and cures peaches in the sun. He says neaely all evaporators are abandoned and the rays of the sun are depended on aud answer as g od a purpose as the best system o! artificial heat. Ho goes on at length to s iy how the fruit is gathered, peaches being his cwn crop, that it is bleached by use of sulphur fumes half an hour, and the sun dries large fruit that is in halves in three days' time. California evidently has a great advantage in its warm sun and dry climate, but while they depend on the sun's rays only, they have not any decided advant ages over the evaporating machines now iu xogue in Oregon. They do all the work of preparation and laying ou trays, and while they place these trays in the sun the evaporating concerns hold them mare conveniently and the cost of wood is small. The cost of handling is the same in either case, 1 here was a short time last summer when suu drying was efficient, but not to be depended on. The sun iu August can be utilized here in con nection with evaporating by heat. Last summer when poach plums were threatening to spoil because there was not evaporating space to hold them, the expedient wag resorted to of spreading tbe fruit cut and pitt ed upon boards and partially drying it thus, it was found to be an ad vautage.as the fruit partially sun-dried was even better than that put at first into the evaporator. If we have a good sun it ean be utilized to dry fruit and it can be bleached as wejl before suii-drysiig as when dried in an evap orator. In making calculations for any in vestment, it is ui Ways well to con sider both sides carefully the proba ble cost and the probable returns the investment will yield. If by one method of procedure it costs five cents per pound, and the price of beef gives promise of fluctuating be tween 44 and 5J cents per pound, the investment is not a promising one. Again, if it costs $100 to raise a com mon horse in a common way to the age of four years, and there is no promise of more than $125 for him, while it costs $125 to raise a fine draft colt to the age of three years, and such colts readily sell at $175, it is not hard to see which investment gives the greatest promise of profit. In this question of relative profit, the Farm ers' Advance gives the following inter esting incident : A gas company hav ing a quantity of pipe to be hauled some distance offered what they sup posed fair rates by the hundred pounds for the work. Light teams, or what many call general-purpose team, could draw an average of 2,200 pounds, earning $3.30, which, after deducting $1.50 per day for driver and his board, left $1.80 for use of team, wagon and harness. Any one will say that the team would be fed at a loss. Parties having heavy teams of grade draft horses took tbe contract at the company's rates, and drew on anaverageof 3,800 pounds, earning $5.70 per deducting $1 50 for driver and his board, leaves $4 20 for team, wagon and harness. This is a differ ence of $2.40 in faxor of the draft team.
