FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Rotation of Crops. .
The rotation best adapted to any ono
farm will depend much on the farm, the
locality and the markets. The one
adopted by Professor Sanborn on the col
lege farm at Columbia, Mo., will proba
bly suit ns large a number as any that can
be adopted. He begins, say, with a
timothy sod. Manures and plows in the
fall for com in the spring. The corn is
cut early and taken from the land as soon
as cured, the land plowed, and in the
spring sowed to oats and seeded with
clover. The oats are mowed early for
hay, thus giving the clover a chance to
come on and make a second crop for hav.
The first crop of clover the next season is
cut for hay, but if the land needs improv
ing the second crop is plowed under and
wheat sowed. If the land is in good
heart it can be cut for hay or saved for
seed. With the wheat is sowed timothy,
which is allowed to remain two years,
plowing it up in the fall of the second
year to plant to com again the next
spring, thus bringing us back to the be
ginning of the rotat.on again. This is a
six years* rotation, and in the six years
one gets seven crops, or if he saves the
second crop of clo%’er he gets eight. The
land is manured every six years. Under
such management, instead of the land
becoming exhausted, it will become
stronger and more fertile.— Chicago
Time*.
Thick Seeding—Subsoiling—Manure
Thick seeding, subsoiling and manur
ing for corn formed the subjects for ex
periments of the Kansas State I arm in
1883 and again in 1884 and 1885. Pro
fessor Shelton, of the State Agriculture
College, in a recent report on the last ex •
periments, explains that the subsoiling
was performed by the ordinary subsoil
plow, working at a depth of four inches
in the furrow left by the ordinary plow
turning 6£-inch dee > furrow si ce. The
manured plats received one and a half
two-horse loads—equal to thirty loads
per acre—of manure, only partially rot
ted. The thick se ding of this experi
ment consisted in planting the corn in
drills 2$ feet apart (elsewnere the drills
were 3$ feet apart > and doubling the or
dinary amount of seed used in each drill,
so that the corn plants stood five inches
apart in the rows. The ordinary culti
vation necessary to keep the ground
properly porous and free from weeds was
given all the plats.
The .subsoiling, always costly work,
was of no advantage to the growing
crop in this trial, and this is strictly in
line with the results obtained in the
previous experimental work and a con
siderable general experience had at
various times on the the college farm.
Subsoiling has been tried on clay lands
of almost every degree of fertility; upon
lauds that had been in cultivation a con
siderable number of years and with
comparatively new lands: but in no case
was there any considerable increase in
the yield of the subsoiled plats, ceitainlv
none at all commensurate with the cost
of subsoiling. Results from last season’s
experiment in manuring did not show
any material increase in the yield either
of grain or stalks from the application of
barnyard manure. This result is in
harmony with previous experiments. In
Professor Shelton’s experience manure
made during the winter months and
hauled on the field the following spring
is rarely of much benefit to crop* grown
the first year after such application. The
second and third years, however, have
generally show n very decidedly th; ben
eficial results of a dressing of barnyard
manure. The true policy of Kansas
farmers. Professor Shelton says, “is to
maintain the condition of the farm by
judicious cropping, thorough cultivation
aud pasturing, so that general manuring
may be avoided and the annual yield of
manure applied to particular crops and
easily accessible fields.’*
The results from plats thickly seeded
was a yield of seventy bushels of shelled
corn and 2.12 tons of stalks per acre, a
gain, as compared with the adjacent
plats plowed in the ordinary way, of
sixteen bushels of corn and one-half ton
of fodder. While the quantity of fod
der was improved by thick seeding, the
quality of the «orn by the same course
was injured. The ears of corn obtained
from the thick-seeded plats were gen
erally small, though sound, and the pro
portion of “nubbins** to sound ears was
great. Nevertheless, this plan of thick
seeding is well worth the attention of
that large numbe r of
find themselves each year obliged to
look to unusual sources to supplement
their ordinary fodder supply.
Fodder obtained by the ordinary
methods of field culture is a coarse ami
not very valuable f ed. but corn thickly
plantc 1, as in these experimental plats,
of necessity grows fine: the proportion
of stems to leaves and foli ge is greatly
reduced: on this acc unt it may be eas'ly
harvested and stored, while the Waste in
feeding, from its su erior quality, is
very li.ht. Such fodder, when fieed
from the corn, is excellent for nearly all
purposes for which ordinary hay is used,
but when fed unhusked directly from
the feed-cutter, it is an unsurpassed
feed for cattle in course of preparation
for the shambles. —Scat York World.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Drainage prevents failures of crops in
both wet and dry seasons.
Give aspa agus plenty of room, and it
will produce first-class shoots, large and
tender.
Fifty sheep well runned and tended
will pay better than one hundred left to
run wild.
Fresh horse-manure, which some far
mers consider superior to the best guano,
proves by analysis at Amherst Station to
be wort.i $8.42 to $j per ton.
Fresb hardwood ashes are said to be
worth, for the farm, fully as much as six
times their weight in horse manure, and
other ashes have a corresponding value.
It has been found that apple pomafcc,
ensilaged in large casks and properly
weighted was highly relished by the
cow s, and considered un hanged in feed
ing value.
Professor Kedzio says that yellows in
peaches may be cured by digging a shal
low trench around the tree and tilling it
with boiling water. A heavy dose of
potash will have the same effect.
Professor Goessmau is of the opinion
that exposure to o« air impairs the
feeding value of ensign and that there- ,
fore the size of th* silo should be con- .
trolled by the rate of c^oimption.
The New Orlo&ns Times Democrat as
serts that the successful iyveniet of a
horse or steam power cane-cutter, to har
vest the sugar-cane crops of 1 ouifiana,
will be able to move into a millionaire's
residence before Christmas.
In order to guard ag nst flies the stable
should be thoroughly cleaned often. A
sprinkling of the floors with a mixture
of a teaspoonful of carbolic acid and two
gallons of water, will disinfect the stall,
while the manure heap may also teceive
an application with advantage.
A plant is an organized compound of
sun energy With earth energy ; sun
energy means aridity while earth energy
as well me ins a >r.li. or the neutralizer
of aridity, hence horses slobber from
eating vegetables grown in the latter or
hotter part of the season, says the Ger
mantown Telegraph.
Few farm crops take up so much pot
ash as the potato. It is an alkaline ju co
that stains the hands when paring pota
toes, and it is best removed by oxalic
acid. Thi9 alone should be a sufficient
hint as to the kind of fertilizer most
needed by potatoes, and is tho rea.on
why this crop soonest fails on sandy soil,
where potash is n .ally deficient.
To compel Brahmas and Cochins to roost
high will be cru lty. They have difficulty
not only in getting upon a high roost but
1 in getting off. AH roosts should be madi
low and of the same level. There is no
I necessity for h .vin r them high, end «°s
l nearly nlldi-eassc of the feet arise from
high roosts they sho fid be nbol shed.
Orchards that are in g as- continually
are sometimes in ured. The best method
! »s to plow under the crass, lime the land,
i "ive an application of well-rotten manure,
snd reseed. Som orchards do best when
• grass, if the soil is rich, but the peach
ind plumb are exceptions. * The grass
should, however, be plowed under oc
sassionally.
Soiling for a week or two will be found
m excellent method of allowing the pas
ures to grow up again, and as a «mal!
piece of clover or good grass may be use
iay rutting quantities of it daily, and
feeding it in the yards, the labor and
sxpensc need not be great. Those who
will try soiling for a short time may b:
induced to continue it, as beneficial re
suits always follow by so doing.
Milk can be fed to poultry in any con
dition, either as skimmed milk, butter
milk, curds, or when mixed with meal
>r ground grain of any kind. It is a val
jable food for eg; production, being rich
.n albumen, and supplies rnsny substances
:hat nmy be lacking in other foods. It
.s cheap on those farms where only the
:ream is desired, and it will give better
results with poultry than when fed to
Pigs- .
If cows are allowed to dry and rest
lbout six weeks before calving they will
he in better condition when they come
into full flow T again. It imposes a dqu
r>’e duty on the cow to yield a large
imount of milk daily, and also provide
material for the growth of the futus and
mpplv bodily waste. Give her a respite,
feed her well, and she will produce a bet
:er calf and yield a larger proportion of
milk.
The albumen or whito of an egg is
somewhat similar to blood in com post
:ion, and ilie poultryman will find it
rery profitable to procure fresh blood
from the slaughter houses when it ccn
be obtained. It can be*put in a bag and
:ookcd, or it may b' mixed with tw.»
parts cornmeal and one part shorts,
oaked into cakes and crumbled for the
:hicks whenever it is needed. Fed to
hens it increases egg production, being
cheaper than meat and much more bene
Scial.
Mr. H. B. Guricr, the eminent dairy
man. says the Prairie Firmer, is an advo
cate of Winter dairying. lie claims that
by changing from summer to winter
dairying he has raised the average net
profit on forty cows from sls to S4O per
head. His winter ration is early cut
clover and timothy, with equal paits by
measure of wheat bran and corn meal.
| f)nc winter his milk suddenly shrank
from 855 to 750 po mds, and on ascer
taining the carse ! e found that late had
, been sub tituted for early cut hay.
I If farmers would observe more closely
tho habits of those insects which prey
i upon their crops, they would be much
better prepared to battle with them.
•Take, for instance, the large black
squa&h bug which makes it appearance
when the vines are of large size, and if
left aloce will surely destroy them. The
observing fanner will notice that the eggs
are deposited on the under side of the
leaves in croups, w i» h can easily be
crushed, and thus destroyed. He will
also observe that the bug ;n question will
get under a stone, leaf, or covering, as
night approaches, and by putting a
shingle beside the hill at night a num
ber of bugs will tak ; shelter under it,
and can be in the morning.

Meandering.
A city girl writes: “It is a fond
dream of mine to bedome a farmer’s wife,
and meandear with him down life's
flowery pathway.” Ah, yes, that is a
nice thing to dream about, but when you
have lived on the farm and followed this
meandering business for a month or so,
you will discover a wide chasm between
the dream and the reality. You will
think of this about the time your hus
band meauders off an l leaves you with
out wood, and you have to meander up
and down the lane pulling splinters oil
the fence with which to cook dinner.
And when you meander around in the
wet clover in search of the cows, you
w.li have a dim perception that fond
dreams do not always pan out a hundred
cents on the dollar, and that there are
several meanderings in farm life that
are not listed in the dreaming category.

Can ConHuniption lie Cured?
We have so often seen fatal results follow
the declaration that it can be cured, that we
have unconsciously settled down in the belief
that this disease must necessarily prove fatal.
It is true that occasionally a community
has w itnessed on isolated c of what may
appropriately l»e termed spontaneous recov
ery, but to what <*ombination of favorable
circumstances this result was due none have
hitherto lieen found able to determine.
We have now the gratifying fact to an
nounce that the process by which natin*e ef
fects this wonderful cuange is no longer a
mystery to vhe inedicai profession, and that
the changes brouhgt about in the system un
der favorable circumstances by extrinsic
causes may l>e made os certainly and more
expeditiously by the u*eof the proper remedy.
In other words, nature is imitated and as

Tulktculous matter is nothing more or less
than nourishment imperfectly organized.
Now, if we can procure the organization of
this food material so that through the pro
cess of elective affinity it may take its place
in the system, we can cure the disease. This
is just* what Piso’s Cure for Consumption
does. It arrests at ono© the progress of the
disease by preventing the further supply of
tuberculous matter, for while the system is
under its influence all nourishment is organ
ized and assimiluted. It thus controls cough,
expectoration, night-sweats, hectic fever, and
all other characteristic symtoms of Con
sumption.
Many physicians are now using this medi
cine, and all write that it comes fully up to
its recommendations and makes Consump- j
tion one of the diseases they can readily cure. I
The forming stage of a disease is always the I
most auspicious for treatment. This fact j
should induce l ersons to resort to the use of ;
Piso’s Cure when the cough is first noticed, i
whether it has a consumptive diathesis for j
its ofruse or not, for this remedy cures all
kinds of coughs with unequaled facility and i
promptness. In coughs from a simple cold,
two or three doses of the medicine© have been
found sufficient to remove tho trouble. So
in all diseases of the throat and lungs, with
symptoms simulating those of Consumption,
Piso’s Cure is the only infallible remedy.
The following letter recommending Plso’s
Cure for Consumption, is a fair sample of
