One pound jf rough meat to fifteen hens is sullicient. The meat should be lean, and if preferred, may le cooked, but it in vc better results when given raw. It is not expensive when the increased numlier of eggs is considered. How to Make C lover Silage. This business is now, or soon will be, in order, and here is a point from a practical man worth deeding. A farmer with consider able experience, who has siloed clover for several years, says if it should be left to wilt on the ground for two hours after cutting, and each dav's filling of the silo be allowed to heat before the lresh clover iB added, and the sides not the center, kept thoroughly tramped, the clover will come out moist and green, and the cattle will relish it as thoroughly as summer pasture. Utilizing Dropped Manure. An Ohio farmer says that a good way to utilize dropiied manure in lanes leading from barnyard to fields is to plough and sTape theiu where the surface is such that this can be done. Many lanes of this kind contain an undisturbed accumulation of years. Build one permanent fence in the middle of a strip wide enough for two lanes, say sixty feet, then build a port able fence out on either side of the lane. When it becomes desirable to plough, -remove the not table fence over to the other side lor a lane there. Rose Insects. The insects mot harm ful to roses are the green fly, red spider, rose hopper or thrips. and the rose bug and the black shiu. Now. though com- bating these insects involves some little trouhl' s, yet success will attend all per sistent efforts. The green fly, the thrips and the black slug can all be kept under lv syringing the plants with a solution of while oil soap. One pound of soap is sufficient for eight gallons of water. Throw the water in a fine spray on the under as weil as the upimr sides of the i leaves. A syringe with a bent nozzle is the lest instrument with which to apply the liquid to the lower sides of the leaves. The red spider can be held in check by syringing the leaves with clear water ; in iry times this should be done everv day. If the rose bug (Melolontha sulwpinosa) makes its appearance, which is not very j often, it can be destroyed by the insect exiermiDator. Fertilize the Orchard. In advocating the maintenance of the fertility of the orchard, Dr. Haskins, of Vermont says he has never yet seen an orel'ard too rich for profit, nor one ni on which the last loads of manure did not pay the most profit. He adds that the moHt profitable orchard of the William's F'averite apple in the vicinity oi Boston is kept ''as rich i an a barnyard." me iruit is double what might be called the normal size of the variety ; every applets handled like an egg, and marketed at its point of per fection. This orchard is very profitable, though small. An orchard that would rival this is in the eiti of Montreal, con taining thirty-six Fameuse tiees, the fruit from which was sold, ungathered, one season, tor (). ihe trees were very large and perfeet'y healthy, and had all to themselves, almost an acre of rich land. A Point for Wheai Growers. A crat fying effect oi strewing straw thinly over the wheat plants on a very )oor spot of land alter the ground had lrocn lias been reported by Mr. Terry, of Ohio. ine wneat was benefitted, but the re ntal kable advantage lay in the Kood n(l Kd growth of clover sown in iu njiniJK, w extcuuen "txact'y to the limit ot the straw mdi-one load to the acre. Ho says a writer in the Weekly Tribune, w ho adds that he once ownod two fields in which there were sjKits of the finest and cleanest of loam, on which clover seed always failed because of the surface running together into a compact glaze after the spring frosts, and he could think of no remedy. The straw seems to have prevented the rains from so packing the surface iu Mr. Terry's aluable ex perience, and clover, if it can le made to grov with certainty, will soon amend the textur oi the soil. Fanners who have poor spots in their wheat field would do well to try the straw cure, not only to lMJtiefit the crop sown, hut at) a prepara tion for clover. THE PACIFIC COAST.
