THE FARM AND GARDEN. SCATTER THE MASUKE. In using manure for fruit trees or small fruits it should be well scattered. The roots extend long distances from tree trunks and hence it is absurd, as some growers do, to pile most of the manure against the trunk. Spread it evenly on trie surface or work it in the soil. The same rule applies to small fruits. The :oots travel long distances, even though in many cases they are aimost invisible. Hew York Herald. BECTJBIHG GOOD SEED OATS. The price of oats is now very low, but in most eases they bring proportionably all they are worth as compared with other feed. Never before were there so many poor light oats, or oats that had been in jured iu curing, a this season. There is likely to be difficulty next sea son in getting good seed oats, and it is well to secure oats that are full weight and not musty for seed. At the best oats in our climate Tend to run out, on account of hot, dry summers, and if poor sec: be sown the deterioration is more rapid. It may pay seedsmen this year to procure oats from Nova Scotia or some other portion of Canada, provided they are there exempt from the failure that attaches to most oats grown in the States. American Cultivator. FOR EGGS IX WIXTER. "To get many eggs in winter one must give the hens some care and attention, and furnish them with warm and com fortable quarters. The pullets that were hatched early and the yearlings of last spring will be the best layers. After fowls pass their second year as a general, ihing they are not profitable as layers. Better kill them oil than to keep old owls. It is also a good thing to change, either by buying or exchanging eggs for a setting, or by introducing some good fowls from a neighbor's Mock. To in duce laying give plenty of meat scraps and some green food. See that they have gravel and plenty of pure water, and while they may run out freely dur ing pleasant days be careful and keep them housed up in cold, stormy weather. Don't allow them to run out on the snow or iii rain-storms. They must be kept out of windy weather and cold draughts if they are to lay eggs in the winter months. f they can be allowed to run in the animal stables in the daytime it will increase the egg-production, and a roosting-place where they get some warmth from the stabled animals, wher ever it is all practicable, will have a good effect on their living. They want a suf ficiency of food of a mixed character, mostly hard grains of different kinds, but not so much as to make them fat." New York Worbl. UTILIZING PUMPKINS. Pumpkins are a valuable and nutritious food for cows, if they are only rightly spread before them. The orthodox way of feeding them is to draw a wagon-load into the pasture, and scatter them pro miscuously about in a parti illy crushed condition, for the cows to right and choke over. It always pays to feed intelligently, and we might add, humanely, and we append a way of offering pumpkins to cows that we believe to be more efficacious than the manner described. Gather only ripe, sound pumpkins; the green and decayed ones discard; knock off the hard stems and handle with a pitch or dung-fork. Near the pasture fence build a plank bottomed pen, or a large, shallow dry goods box would do, and into tins dump ;i part of a load of selected pumpkins. Now, go into them with a sharp spade, md chop them quite finely. Most of the entrails and seeds will slough and rattle and the meaty blocks of the fruit, -hovel over the fence into a long station ary trough, for the cattle to partake of at leisure. Roots, such as mangels and rutabagas, can advantageously be served the same way, and if fed in winter, your chop ping box can be placed in the cellar or stable. The seeds of pumpkins act too vigor ously on tiie kidneys to be beneficial to cows, hence care should be taken that they be excluded from their menu. Al mistime of the year it is the eu neavor of dairymen not so much to in crease their milk dow as to maintain its previous quality. Meadows are annually eached, through their depletion of after math, for this, when some substitute should be provided. Our experience with pumpkins as a cheaply produced food has been satisfactorily in the ex treme, and we recommend their more extensive cultivation. Those varieties of, die fruit that yield most prolificly, and produce the firmest, sweetest meated pumpkins, are the ones to plant. If planted in a field separate from corn they do far better than when shaded by the maize. Hairy men, do not despise the pump kin because it is ubiquitous. Cultivate it well and feed it intelligently, and you will be satisfied with the result. Prairie Farmer. GREEN MAN UK INC'. The necessity for restoring some of the fertilty to our soils which are aopped each year is apparent even to tiie most casual thinker. If the soil is not to be absolutely impoverished, there must be a returning to as well as a tak ing from it of the elements of fertility. This is a self-evident truth, and requires ho proof or illustration to make its estab Hshment complete. Green crop feeding is the most natural, most feasible and uiosi economical method by which to re turn the plant food that is taken from our fields by continual croppintr. Darn yard manure will always, of course, re main the farmer's chief reliance for en riching this land, but green manurial crops will be found to be a valuable and inexpensive adjunct to this. Their effects upon the soil are remarka ble, their vegetable or organic matter rendering it at once friable, active and fruitful. The greeu crops most profita ble t j be employed for this purpose are those denominated ''air-feeders' those possessed of the power to absorb the ele ments of organic life from the air. such as clover, buckwheat, rye, peas, beans, etc. Clover undoubtedly stands at the head of the list. It contains a large pro portion of potash, lime, magnesia, nitro gen, chlorine, and carbonic, phosporic and sulphuric acid. Its reat value as a manurial plant lies in the fact that its leaves and stems absorb the largest part of its fertilizing gasses from the air, and take only a comparatively smail portion from the soil. It is a voracious "air feeder.'' Moreover, its long, thick roots draw the fertilzing saline and mineral elements of the sub-soil up into the sur- I face soil, and render them available as ! plant food. It is a cheap and most avail able agent to supply soils with necessary nitrogen, which has been well denorai- j nated one of the "scarcest and dearest of manurial elements." Buckwheat is also a valuable manurial ! green crop. It is a rapid and hardy 1 , n t i grower, ana can he successiuiiy grown on the same plot year after year, without materially exhausting the soil. Two crops of it can be grown and plowed under on the same ground in one season, and the ground seeded down with grass or a grain crop in September. It should be grown far more extensively than it is, its grain making a complete poultry food, while its cultivation is strongly recom mended as an eradicator of Canada this tles, witchgrass and other foul and ob noxious weeds. It also has a high hy gienic value as a purifier of the air, tak ing up the effluvia and miasma rising in the air from foul sink spouts and other slovenly spots about the farm or out buildings. Let us raise more buckwheat. The seed costs but little: it will grow upon any kind of laud, from drifting sand to impact clay ; it gives a good crop : ;t straw contains considerable quantities of potash, soda, lime, magnesia, phos phoric ana sulphuric acid, and when plowed under it decomposes rapidly, loosens the soil and makes a first-class manure. The pea is of great value as a manur ial crop, even after the fruit has been gathered and the vines are fully ripened. They contain a very large proportion of potash, lime, magnesia, soda, carbonic acid and chloride of sodium, besides sul phuric and phosphoric acid ; and when 1 plowed under, it puts the soil in the best possible condition for other crops, es pecially wheat and grass. Rye is also a most valuable manurial icrop, but on the score of economy is not so profitably used for this purpose, its grain being too valuable to be economi cally sacrificed as manure. European agriculturists also employ turni ps, corn, vetch and mustard as green manurial crops, the turnip being rated as the best, as it grows in the cool and ; moist climate of England to the greatest perfection. But this, like the vetch, is a precarious plant in the hotter and dryer climate of New England. The proper time to plow down green crops, to renovate the soil, is in the j wrarm weather of summer, when they are just coming into flower. They then take on a quick decay from their immatured condition when the sun has its greatest power to aid in the process of fermentation and decav. Let our farmers try the practice of green manur ing, and the results achieved will be sure to induce them to continue it as a set- , tied policy in their farm operations. American Cultivator. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Cold stables may be cheaply made wanner by lining them vv'itk building paper. An excited horse is like an excited child. We have seen a child scolded and 'jawed" until it could not comprehend what was wanted of it. An eminent authority has said that grasses are social in character that they thrive hest where thev have close neio;h bors of different varieties. Plants should not be watered with very cold water It should stand in zhe sua and become as warm as the atmosphere in summer before being applied. The old idea that young cattle and colts must winter at straw stacks in open tields to make them tough happily has gone, much to the comfort of the young animals. If we might turn to profit all the loss suffered by American farming by weeds farmers could well afford to pay all the taxes, reserving to themselves the blessed privilege of unlimited grumbling as a partial compensation.
