1011 FARM. AND GARDEN.
Tlunurinsr the JSran Crop.
fleam are bringing a pretty good
price this year, mainly became of last
season's drought, -which lessened the po
tato crop and thin left an increased de
mand for them. For some reason this
crop has not p-aiJ very well for several
years, and this, as is usually the case,
has discouraged production. The price
has been low find tha yield small, espe
cially in places where beriLS have long
been grown. Farmers have learned that
the old idea that beans do best on poor
soil is not the correct one. They do not
require a large amount of carbonaceous
nad notrogenous manures, as these tend
to produce too irrent growth of straw
with brittle grain. But no crop is more
benefitted by phosphate than beans, and
if this i-i applied with a moderate dress
ing of stable manure a goo I crop will
pretty certain. Ji-.-ans can be planted
after all othei spri.ig grain crops are got
in the ground, and can thus utilize land
that would otiiirwis-i be left uncropped.
li.ans can also be planted in vacant
places in corn, potatoes or other hoed
crops. Cultivator.
Corn iiml ' TI-ul.
Among the recently reported ex
periments tried at the Iowa Agricul
tural college was ono to test the rela
tive value of corn meal and the meal
of corn and cobs ground together in
fattening swin?. The first experiment
"was made with animals in the Jasc
BtagC3 of fattening. Pig of the -same
breed and the same age, and as nearly
as possible the same weight, wero se
lected and fed one week to accustom
them to the food selected. They were
then given all they would cat up
clean, half of them of corn meal and
half of corn and cob meal, the grain
being carefully weighed, and also the
hogs at the en I of each week for two
weeks, when they wero sold.
Tho corn and cob meal, seventy
pounds to tho bushel, made 12.05
pounds of pork per lushel, and fifty
pounds of the clear corn meal made
11.07 pounds to each bushel fed. The
hogs were sold' at .$:. 80 per cwt. and
gave 43.79 cents per bushel for the corn
ground with the cob, an i 44.04 cents
for the clear corn. The experiment
was rep3ated with a lot of hogs in the
early stages of fattening, and returned
49. l'i cents for the corn and cob meal
and 41.93 cents for the corn meal,
reckoning pork at $3.80. This result
may seem strange to many of our readers
and many will doubt its accuracy, as
there is probably little or no nutriment
in the cob of corn. But its chemical
value lies in the fact that it seems to
aid tho gastric juice to act on the corn
meal and thus secures a more complete
digestion. Til? use of coarse food, as
hay and coin, is thus found to be of
value to stock asile from tho actual
nutriment that it supplies.
'" '!!:!;' to Cow.
Opinions of fee lers differ pretty wide
ly as to whether straw c:in be fed with
profit or not. The best dairymen are
strongly opposed to any straw feeding
to cows giving milk. One of them said
to us recently : " I never let my cows
get a taste of straw if I can prevent it.
It is used for bedding, and they will cat
some, no matter how well fed, as it is a
change; but I had much rather they
would not." He feeds brewers' grains,
a ration very stimulating to the pro
duction of milk, but not very rich in it
self, and not making milk of very high
quality, though it h tin best that the
people in beer-making cities are likely
to get.
Feeding straw successfully probably
requires peculiar conditions not gener
ally found. It is a dry feed, and there
fore illy adapted to making milk. It is
not a rich food in any respect, much of
it being a woody fiber of no more nu
tritive value than so much sawdust.
"What it has of nutrition is
mainly carbon or heat giving, and
if it were even richer m this it
would net alone keep an animal in vig
orous health. Aud yet there are feeding
uses for straw i:i which it serves an ex
cellent purpose. Given with linseed
meal or cotton-scad cake it furnishes
the bulk which those excessively con
densed forms of nutrition require for
safe feeding. As it is bulk rather than
nutrition that is needed, straw may be
well substituted for hay. This has
been found trm in practice by those
who have given it a trial.
There is a great difference in the
quality of straw. That from early cut
grain retains more freshness and be
comes much less hard and woody. Too
often straw is considered scarcely worth
caring for, and cut late and poorly
stacked it rots down into very poor
manure. It may be better even thus
than to be relied on as a staple for win
ter feeding unless there are large sup
plies of foods rich in albuminoids to
give with it.
Having-the Manure.
An exchange remarks that farmers
will never be entirely agreed whether
maoure should be hauled out in the win
ter, the fall, or the spring, but cn3
point may bs regarded as settled, which
is that every bit of manure in the barn I
yard should be used on the farm. The
writer goes on to say:
There is not an acre of land that is be
ing cropped that does not need con
tinued fertilization. If any one doubt3
it, the experiment is easily made of put
ting manure on a part of the field and
leaving the remainder unmanured and
watching the result. But whether to
haul out the barn refuse in the winter
or wait till soring will b2 a question.
On the one side is the fact that it im
proves the manure to stand in heaps and
rot, or rather it improves its condition
for handling, and it more rapidly mires
with and becomc3a part of tho 6oil, so
that its immediate effects ara much
greater. On the other hand, if the
manure is hauled on tin fi jld in the win
ter and spread on the ground, while it
does not rot, tin melting snows and tho
spring rains wash from it into the soil
all the liquids in it that would, if the
manure was left in heaps in the yard, j
be washed away.
The main reason for hauling the
manure in the winter, however, is that
there is then much more time to do it,
and that it is much more easily drawn
over the frozj.i ground i i the winter,
than over the soft ground in the spring.
This a Wantage is so great that we do
not see why every farmer should not
use tho winter months to scatter all the
manure possible on his field.
"Where a wagon is available that can
be spared for that purpose, it is an
excellent plan to keep it where the
rcfuso from the barn and stable can be
thrown on it and taken to the Held as
often as the wagon is loaded. This
saves much rehandling and much time.
The old theory is that tin ammonia
that is in the manure would be wasted
by evaporation. "While it is true that
some is lost, the quantity is so small
that it is not worthy of thought, if any
advantage i3 to be gained in any other
way. It is also true that on some kinds
of ground xln liquids from the manure
might be carried away to some extent,
but this is very small. As a rule, the
teams on the farm do not get any more
exercise than they need in winter, and
the hauling out of the manure will givo
them needed exercise.
QUAINT AND CURIOUS. r

I'otato Culture.
"I venture to send you a few sug
gestions upon potato culture, because I
am one of the few farmers in this vicin
ity who raised a good crop of potatoes
during tho past season," writes a Ver
mont correspondent of the American
Cultivator. "I have a low meadow
where potatoes will grow rank, but are
liable to rot. I have also a high mea
dow away from the river where the soil
i3 not quite so strong and the land some
what drier. Tim latter spot I consider
more certain for a crop of potatoes than
the low meadow, yet it does not give so
large a yield. I generally try a patch
on both meadows every year.
"Hill land is generally the best for
potatoes. This year I plantel entirely
on the low meadow, and had a lux
uriant growth of tops and something
over two hundred bushels of assorted
potatoes to the acre, but they rotted con
siderably before and after digging. I
I dug most of them in August, but did
not commence early enough. The first
ten bushels I dug rotted the least. I
sold somo at digging time at 75 conU
per bushel. Two months later I sold at
$1 per bushel. Tho percentage of rotten
ones in tho latter parcels made just
about an even matter of it.
"Potatoes are retailing among the
farmers in this vicinity at $1 a bushel.
Some claim they can b) shipped in for
less money. It is queer if the time has
come when Vermont farmers caunot
raise their own potatoes, but must buy
from other sections. Somo argue that
the potato crop is destined to be an en
tire failure, but I havu never failed with
the crop, and I do not expect to if I ex
ercise proper care.
I planted mostly Beauty of Hebron1?,
about the 10th of 3Lay. Tho seed
was small sized potatoes cut once or
twice the same day they were planted.
Every tuber seemed to grow. I select
ray seed from smooth, sound potatoes
thaf have not sprouted. Last season I
took them from the cellar two months
before planting, so thry would not
sprout. It is poor poli cy to plant un
ripe or diseased seed. Karly varieties
with me seem to be a surer crop than
tho late varieties.
"If the blight strikes a potato that is
half grown it ruins it. However, I
plant a few of late growth every year.
Dry land is generally tho best for pota
toes. I plough in the fall and spread a
coat of manure broadcast in the fall or
spring, and plant as early as it will do
and avoid frost. A late frost injures
the potato more than a"'1"" trop.
"I furrow for the rov Jiant bv

. "n ol
put two pieces of potato and' .poonful
of phosphate in a hill and do MLot har
row tho potatoes out of the ground to
kill the weeds, but hoe them out two or
three times by hand, making a good
square hill, so that the potatoes will be
in the ground well covered from tho
parching sun. In killing the bugs tho
greatest care should bo e- ercised to kill
the vines."
A Mysterious Well.
Last July, Farmer Hathaway of Sierra
County, Cal., sank an artesian well.
At the depth of P00 feet he struck water
which flowed at the rate of 200 gallons
a minute ; but it was hot water hot
enough to cook an egg in three minutes.
The water from the well flows for halt a
mile over the sandy desert, then forms
a pond several feet in depth and sinks
into the sand. The other day one of
Mr. Hathaway's children told him that
the pond was full of fish. Her father
laughed, but the child was right. The
pond contains hundreds of mountain
trout from one to three inches long.
"Where they came from is a problem.
All the water that flows into the pond
is boiling hot as it comes from tho
ground; there is no spring anywhere
near the pound, and no one has stocked
its waters with small fry.

Worth Their Weight in Gold.
It is no unusual thing to seo small
volumes that you can hide almost in a
vest pocket go for from twenty dollars
to eighty dollars. Somo books, if they
are rare enough, of the incunabula and
black-letter kind, will bring hmdrcds
of dollars. The first edition of one of
Longfellow's books, "The Coplas de
Manrique," thin and dingy though it be,
brings almost always near fifteen or
twenty times its original price. Tenny
son's first thin volume, containing also
his brother's poems, which must have
been published for not more than a dol
lar and a half, I saw sold the other day
lor only a trifle short of forty dollars.
"First editions" are especially stimula
tive to prices, as there are so" many col
lectors who pride themselves on their
possessions in this line. The editions,
however, must be of books and authors
themselves highly esteemed. Their value
rests on the fact that, having long been
out of print, they aro positively unpro
curable, except by the rare accident
which the book auction occasionally af
fords. An uncut copy of a first edition
or book has extra value for it bears its
own evidence that no bookbinder has
cut down the margin.
It is surprising to see how dingy and
apparently worthless some of the rare
books are that bring high prices. I!
you do not know the special charm that
is bestowed on the air to the iniated by
one of these suspicious volumes, ol
course you can not rate it highly. You
would give more lor a gilt-edge modern
book that has just preceded it, and was
sold for twenty-five cents. But now the
coveted prize is announced, and, lo! it
goes up to, perhaps, eighty-five or one
hundred dollars. You must bo born t
