CLOVER HAY FOR SHEEP. Many sheep-fatteners give their sheep clover hay, and it i3 a good food for them. But it ought to be remembered it contains a trenous food large percentage of nitro matter. We do not say this to prevent them using the clover hay, but to remind them that when they increase the quantity they increaao the quantity of nitrogen supplied, and an allowance for this should be made when arranging the amount of corn or cake. Except for this, clover hay is one of the best rectitiers as well as best foods that can be given to sheep. As a means of lowering the quality of the blood, Epsom salts are a mild aperient. New York World. FP.ESII MEAT FOR FARMERS. Some of the advantages of old-fashioned farmers lives are not so common among farmers of to-day as they once were. One of these is having a taste of iresh meat when desired, by killing a sheep and perhaps changing with a neighbor so as to use the mutton while it is fresh. If circumstances do not favor keeping sheep, the supply of fresh meat may be easily obtained by killing young poultry once a week or oftener, and sometimes varying it by killing a young pig. Some farmers may object to this lai.tas wasteful. After all, counting the speculative val'ie of the pig after it has grown into a hog, its meat does not cost any more than the city resident pays for much poorer cuts from the butcher's shop. And on the farm the owner of the pig can afford to take it for his own use at what it has cost him, taking his profit in the extra enjoyment he will get from eating fresh young pig rather than salted pork from the barrel. It is by in dulging in occasional luxuries of this kind that farmers show to others the ad vantages of their position, and induce their children and others to appreciate the possibilities ot a farmer's life. Boston Cultivator. DOUBLE CROPPING OF CABBAGES. One of ray neighbors by manuring liberally ana omitting tne cabbages on every third row of his cabbage piece, and planting this to squash at the proper time, succeeded in raising two excellent crops the same season. To succeed in this arrangement the cabbage must be one of the very earliest sorts, such as Early Wakefield, so that the ground may be entirely cleared at an early day, and the soil between the squash rows be cultivated until it is thoroughly light and fine. The market gardeners close by large cities on their thousand-dollar-an-acre land must and da raise from two to four crops annually, by aid of hotbeds to start their stuff, and the stimulus of a near and large market iu which they can dispose of products on a large scale, which would be worthless if raised on an ordinary farm ; still, farmers at large can do with profit more than they now think possible in this dircetion. Squashes and peas can be raised profit ably on the same land. I grew over 200 bushels of green peas and five tons of squashes on the same piece three years ago. Beets, cabbages, rye, barley and Hungarian are all crops which the farm er can grow as second crops. But when we attempt to double-crop our land there is one essential we must never forget we must manure accordingly, for no one ever succeeded in cheating his land out of a crop. Massachusetts Ploughman. CABBAGE WITHOUT TRANSPLANTING. Of all the crops raised on the farm none depends so much on naturally rich land as cabbage. The best soil is a deep, black, loose loam, well drained, such as is found in the valleys of the smaller streams. It is plowed in the fail, eight or ten inches deep, in narrow lands. The first ten days of April is our time for sewing the seed. The ground is har rowed only to level it, as the action of frost during winter has reduced it to the fineness of ashes. It is then marked off three feet each way with a ccrn marker. With a hoc enough soil is drawn up at each crossmark to make a small, flat bill, a little above the general level. A dozen seeds are dropped on each and pressed down by the foot to bring the seed in close contact with the soil, no covering being necessary. A day or two before tae plants appear above ground we press twice through the rows with a small .ooth cultivator as close as possible with out throwing any soil on the hills. This can be easily done as the tracks of the darker serve as a guide. The second cultivation is given when tile plants are an inch high, and should be crosswise of the first plowing, once in a row. The field should be thoroughly cleaned of weeds by the time the plants are two inches high. Discretion must be exercised in thinning the plants, If cut worms are numerous the hills should Jot be thinned to one in a place until JJe plants are four or five inches high, but at no time should they be allowed to j-rowd one another in the hill. Some Jh will be wholly missing. These mould be reset irora the thinnings, vuxiiDg the stockiest plants that come up with good roots. The oftener cabbage is cultivated the better will be the crop. The grouud should be kept loose and mellow to a depth of four or five inches. Twenty times is not too often to cultivate cabbage for the best re sults. Two or three hoeings only are necessary, and the first is the only one that will take much time if thoroughly done and the cultivator is used as it should be. Breaking off the lower leaves is no detriment, and their being in the way should not deter the plowman from running the shallow-cutting shovels of a horse -hoe close up to the plants. Cultivation should cease before the heads "begin to get solid. I am aware that but few cabbage growers recommend to sow the seed where the plants are to remain. But most of the writers on cabbage live where the crop i3 not so often affected by hot, dry weather in midsummer a3 it is here. The cabbage plant has a long tap root, so long that the plant can not be removed without breaking it, and when once broken it will never penetrate the soil so deeply as before. In 1885 1 had two and a half acres of Late Flat Dutch cabbage, grown without trans planting, that yielded 16,000 marketable heads. Another acre of just as good land was planted with the best plants thinned out on a large field. The re turns from this acre were not over six hundred good heads, and the results have been with more or less variations, the same through succeeding years Of course this plan is advisable for late cab bage only, as the early kinds are trans planted, and have usually headed before dry weather commences. American Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Dig around the rhubarb plants. Be on the lookout for early farrowing sows. Make a second planting of early gar den crops. Milk and grass are the best feeds for young pigs. Trees should be set out before they start to grow. No hog is quite so ravenous as a sow that is suckling pigs. At first give a sow bran and milk,and and then add corn meal. Keep all colonies strong. This is the secret of keeping bees for profit. Gladialusus come true when pro pagated from the small bulblets. There is no special advantage in setting out strawberry plants early. Any of the leading breeds of hogs are good if they are given proper treatment. The only safe plan of being sure of saving all of the pigs is to be ready for them. The Dawson rose, it is claimed, is a valuable addition to the list of hardy roses. Seeds of hardy flowers ought to be sown as early as the ground can be put in order. Good pasturage of any kind will help the brood sows materially to give a good flow of miltc. The flat cover is the best for all bee hives. It costs less than the gable cover and is more convenient. Do not take the winter packing out of the second story of the bee hive till time to put in section boxes. When stock are first turned out to grass care should be taken that they have access to all of the salt and wafer they want. Sheep may be rid of ticks very satis factorily by feeding sulphur, which should be given in, small quantities and not too often. If the acreage in meadow is not suffi cient to furnish a full supply of hay for winter feediner it will pay to sow millet , or Hungarian for hay. In nearly all cases it will pay to har row the potatoes thoroughly before the plants make their appearance above ground; it will help kill out the weeds. The fat in the milk is the most potent factor in determining the yield and quality of cheese, and the quality of cheese is largely affected by the amount of fat contained in it. Let the bees alone as much as possi ble. Decide upon some method and ad here to it. The double hive method is the best, and will give the best results, if properly carried out, if there be any honey in the fields. When cattle are turned in on clover it will be best to turn in for one or two hours the first day, two or three the sec ond, so that they may be somewhat ac customed to it. In this way the risk of bloat may be greatly reduced. A Rochester commission merchant, addressing the Western New York Hor ticultural Association on "Points in Shipping," said that if growers would sort each one hundred barrels down to seventy-five, they would receive just as much money, and save the extra barrels and freight. Pleasare of Memory. What a blessed thing is memory ! How it brings up the pleasures of the past and hides its unpleasantness! You recall your child hood days, do you not, and wish they would return? You remember the pleasant associ ations, while the unpleasant ones are forgot ten. Perhaps to your mind comes the face of some friend. It was onoe a pale, sad face. It showed marks of pain, lines of care. It seemed to be looking into the hereafter, the unknown future. And then you recaM how it brightened, how it recovered its rosy hue, how it became a picture of happiness and joy. Do you remember the4 things? Many people do, and gladly tell how the health re turned, how happiness came back, how the world seemed bright. They tell how they were once weak, nerveless, perhaps in pain, certainly unhappy. They tell of sleepless nights, restless days, untouched fooJ, un strung nerves. And then they tell how they became happy, healthy and strong once more. You have heard it often in the past have you not? You have heard people de scribe how they were cured an 1 kept in health? You certainly can remember what it is that has helped people in America. If not, listen to what Mr?. Annie Jenness Mil ler, who is known universally as the great dress reformer, says: "Six years ago, when suffering from mental care and overwork, I received the most pronounced benefit from the use of that great medicine, Warner's Safe Cure." Ah, now you remember. Now you recall how many people you have heard say this same thing. Now you recollect how much you have heard of this great Cure. Now you are ready to admit that memory is usually pleasing, that the highest pleasure comes from perfect health, and that this great remedy has done more to produce and prolong health than any other discovery ever known in the entire history of the whole world. Marshal Ney, of France, was not only shot as a traitor, but his statue has now to be shot out of the way to make room for a prosaic railway, which will pass over the very spot where he fell and where for so many years his statue has been a pride to the Parisians of the Latin quarter.
