I THE AGRICULTURALIST
Newsy Notes Concerning: the Farm and
of Especial Ioterost to the Pa
cific Coast Husbandman,
Be certain that there is plenty of wa
ter where the cows are turned out to
pasture. Clean, pure water is indis
portable to the milch cow.
Never wait for rain when you have
a crop under cultivation. Keep right
on cultivating and you will be Bur
prised to find how your crop will with'
stand the drought.
Many farmers in weste'rn New York
gave up the wool business as unproi
itable long ago, but still keep sheep,
and eny that keeping the mutton
breeds is one of the best paying
branches of farming.

Uhoppeu clover-hay scalded is a
cheap and excellent food for hogs, and
they will thrive on it while growing,
with but little grain. Bulky food is
necessary for the distention of tho
stomach, and there is nothing bo nu-
tricious for that purpose as the scalded
clover.

exposure, ii inure is a jenou in wie
field it is probably the poorest part ot
the lot, and one or more loads of ma'
nure distributed over it will havo a
wonderful effect, not alone upon the
grain crop, but on the grass seeding.
Good cider vinegar is alwaA's sala
ble, and it pays to convert the surplus
apple6 into cider for the purposo of
making vinegar. The artificial vine
gar cannot be used for choice pickles
and other purposes for which good
cider vinegar only is adapted, and does
not, therefore, largely compete with it.
Don't try to crowd 50 hens into a
poultry house suitable for only 25, as
the larger the flock the fewer the
eggs, proportionately, unless they have
perfect accommodations. As a rul
small flocks givo a larger profit from
the same outlay than when numbers
are kept that, cannot be properly pro
vided for.
Parsnips, salsify and horseradish
can remain in the rows where grown,
as freezing does not injure them. If
thoy are covered with litter, however,
it will prevent sudden thawing around
them in the spring. It is too much
warmth that does injury in winter
to such crops, rather than cold. A
few warm days in winter may be more
detrimental than beneficial
The first signs of disease in a flock
should prompt the herdsmen to at
once remove all animals not affected
to a new, clean location. It is better
to kill an animal that is suspected of
havintr a continuous -disease than to
attempt a cure. Delay is dangerous
Precaution in tho beginning is better
than any work that can be done m at
tempting to e fleet a cure after the die
ease secures a hold.
Must farmers who give no partial
lar attention to horses usually drive
with a loose rein. This is well enougl
with the "old family horso," in whom
you have po.Iect confidence, it is
never safe, however, with a young and
spirited horse. Never drive such an
animal with so looso a rein that you
cannot instantly command tho situa
Hon, whatover happens.
l'ork made trom a considerable por
tion of applo diet is peculiarly sweet
in flavor. Hogs will fatten more rap
idly on sweet apples than sour, if ap
ples aro principally depended upon
but if grain is fed with apples the
sour will do even better than tho
sweet, as the acid will assist in tho di
gestion of tho grain. It would bo bet
tor to feed corn for a fow weeks before
killing, to hnrdon tho pork.

Amog the many purposes to which
old wagon tires may be applied is the
gate binge. An old tire, too much
worn for further service in its original
capacity, is cut in two at the middle,
and the end of each piece is turned
with an eye or socket to form half of
a hinge. Then four inches from the
socket tho bar is bent to an angle.
The other ends of the two pieces aro
then welded together in the form of a
V, the width of the open end being
governed by that of tho gate. The
lower hinge is made in the usual man
ner, with an upright pin at one end,
and a thread and nut at the other.
The upper one may be made in the
form of a band, which is driven over
tho gate-post and fastened by nails
driven through holes punched for the
purpose in tho band.
When the corn is shelled the cobs
are worth caring for for various use
ful purposes. Thev make the best
fuel for the smoke-house, giving the
hams and bacon a delicate and agree
able flavor, free from tho pungency of
oak and other wood, which contains
much acid. When steeped in kero
sene oil they make good kindling for
tires, and they are equally good for
this purpose when saturated with
solution of one pound of saltpeter in
two gallons of water and dried. They
then burn fiercely, giving out quick
heat sufficient to kindle a coal hre
But they are also good for feeding,
as they contain as much nutriment as
straw, and where straw is scarce the
whole years may be ground together
with advantage. Tho husks are stil
more nutricious, and may be ground
up with the ears in mills made for
that purpose.
In storing celery for winter small
quantities for family use can be stored
in boxes bv first boring inch holes
four inches from the bottom at each
end and side of the box. Turn the
box on end and pack the celery in
layers the narrow way of the box. To
each layer of celery in position sprinkle
over the roots only enough earth to
mulch them well. Continue until the
box is full. When you set the box
down shake or iar the box to settle
the dirt among the roots of the plants.
Then take a watering pot with nozzle
and pour water through the augur
holes in tho ends until all of the
soil is thoroughly saturated, and
'tis done. The box can be set in any
convenient niche of the cellar, and
only needs occasional watering (al
ways through the auger holes) to have
a supply of crisp, tender celery at
thort notice, without the trouble of
grubbing in the frozen ground and
exposing both yourself and the whole
1st of celery in the trench.
The increasing use of windmills for
pumping water, etc., suggests that
they could be mado tho foundation of
a tiro department on the farm, that
would prove efficient in many cases.
Three-fourths of the farm conflagra
tions aro discovered so early that the
prompt application of 20 gallons of
water, would put out tho fire. But it
is impossible to get water booh enough
when it must bo carried to the garret
or loft in buckets. With a 14-foot
windmill and a strong double-acting
force-pump, a continuous stream may
be forced a thousand feet and to a
hight of a hundred feot. But as the
windmill and well are usually near
the house and barn, it would rarely be
necessary to have the water forced
farther than two hunnred feet or
raised higher than fifty feet. The
pipes are, of course, brought near to
if not into, the barn and house. And
with a few feet of hose attached to the
hydrant in the yard or building, amp
ply of water sutlicient at .the critical
moment, would be at command. The
hose could be taken through windows i
or doors. If it is fcard that at such a

or a strong gaio was blowing at the '
time. When there is not enough air i
stirring to operate the windmill, a fire
may bo readily subdued by buckets of!
water.
When largo quantities of roots are
to bo stored and there is not cellar
room for this purpose, it is far better
to construct pits than to fill the cellar
of one's dwelling houso with a general
assortment of roots and vegetable to
vitiato tho air of tho entire house. If
it is properly constructed, roots will
keop bottor in a pit than in an ordi
nary cellar. The pits aro dug three
or four feot deep, six feot wido and as
long as needed. Tho roots are stacked
in these, beginning at tho end of
tho pit, and following two feet
of its length ; a space of six inches is
elt, and anot'ier section of two feet is
built up, aud so on, in each case piling
the roots up to the ground level; tho
snaces are then filled in with n.irtli.
