FARMERS' DEPARTMENT.

POPULAR SUBJECTS TREATED INA PLAIN, PRACTICAL MANNER.

When the Practice of Subsoilinc DoesHarm Instead of Good—What CountryGentleman Says on This and Other FarmOperations—Care of Pastures.

In a gravelly or porous subsoil sub-soiling is not needed. Performed in wetsubsoil, which is adhesive or clayey, it

CROSS SECTIONS OF FURBOWS.may render it more compact by pressingit together like mortar, and may hardenit instead of rendering it looser andlighter, as intended. Or, the subsoilingmay be incomplete and inefficient by thenarrow furrow which it makes. Thecommon plow which precedes it cuts afurrow a foot wide, and the subsoil plow,as often constructed, hardly six inches;and the result is that the subsoil is onlybroken into interrupted furrows with thehard, unbroken earth between them, asrepresented by the cross section, Fig. 1,where the upper and dotted portion is themellow or broken soil, and the darkerpart below the unbroken earth.

A remedy for this defective work is tocut the common plow furrows only halfa foot wide, which will break up all thehard ridges and reduce the whole bed ofmellow soil to a state of fine pulveriza-tion. Care should be taken to pulverizeperfectly the portion of the earth whichthe subsoil plow lifts and breaks up, andnot merely to make it a line of clods,which would afford little or no aid tothe plants with their long extendingroots. Fig. 2 in the same cut representsa cross section of the previous furrow ofthe common plow, with the mass ofbroken earth in its bottom, which hasbeen lifted in subsoiling, and before th«fjnext furrow, slice has been thrown uponit. This figure shows also the coarse andcloddy nature of this loosened subsoilwhen the work has been inefficiently per-formed or at the wrong time. With allthese chances for subsoiling to be super-ficially or badly done, it is not surprisingthat so many farmers have found it oflittle or no benefit.

HORIZONTAL ROOTS CUT AND BROKEN.Plowing and harrowing may be worse

than useless when the soil is either toowet or too dry. Care ought to be exer-cised in avoiding these extremes. Re-ported experiments from some of the ex-periment stations, which have pro-nounced frequent cultivation of corn andpotatoes a positive injury, were merelygiving the results of working in mud, orat best in soil packing hard under a sur-plus of water, Sometimes the crops havebeen damaged by cultivating them halfa foot deep wifch the plow, which hastorn and cut the horizontal' roots, whichextend much further from the youngplants than the owner who is cuttingthem is aware.

In the second cut is shown the way inwhich the horizontal roots have been cutand broken. •

Is the Bee a Friend of the Seed Grower?Dr. Fisher expresses a doubt in Garden

and Forest whether the bee is at best theenemy or the friend of the seed grower,as he is largely both, for without hiswork in carrying pollen the fruits ofdioecious plants would not be fertilized,and without it, also, his mischief inmixing new varieties with inferior sortswould not be accomplished. It is truethat he will give a dose of cucumberflavor to a crop of cantaloupes, if thetwo sorts of Cucurbitacece happen to beplanted near neighbors; but, then, heoffsets his bad work by producing newvarieties which are sometimes of verygreat value. This work may be betterand more wisely done by the horticul-tural philosopher, who acts designedlyby combining size and hardiness on theone side with delicacy and productive-ness on the other. This form of lotteryhas a few grand prizes, but a far greaternumber of small ones and blanks; theuncertainty of the drawing adds to theinterest of the investment. The farmeroftener than the philosopher offers anew variety which the little bee hashelped him to produce the year before,and of which he has known nothing un-til his eye has discovered the distinguish-ed stranger among his melons, cucum-bers or other ground fruits.

An Item in Batter Making.The reason for not disturbing milk

when the cream is rising is a simple one.The cooling of the milk causes currentsto form in the fluid, the final end ofwhich is to deposit the fats at the sur-face. These little channels are of down-ward and then upward movement. Ifwe disturb the pan or can, this newly in-troduced agitation destroys these firstperpendicular movements and turnsthem out of their direct course, and theydo not again attain to former directions,but have an aimless course, and so thefats are defeated from perfect rising.

SALT BOXES FOR FARM STOCK.

Cheap and, Simple Designs of Boxes Acces-sible to Stock and Protected from Rain.It is just as necessary for the thrift of

farm animals that they should hare saltas that their food shovtld be clean andwholesome; furthermore, the salt shouldbe so placed that it may be obtained bythem whenever nature craves it, andthey should not be obliged to wait untilthe attendant deals it out to them, and asthis is usually done it would be at ir-regular periods and in irregular quanti-ties. It is to suggest a good means ofproperly "salting" stock that the designsof salt boxes shown in the cut are given.These, according to the correspondentwho describes them in Rural New York-er, are cheap, simple affairs, but welladapted for the purpose intended. Theobject is to have a box holding a quart ormore salt on the bottom, so arranged thatwhen placed out of doors it will be ac-cessible to stock and yet protected fromrain.

One is nearly a foot square and eightinches deep at the back, and six inches

The saltis placed at Bin sight of the stock, whichsoon learn to push up the hinged coverwith their noses, and help themselveswhenever they so desire. The remainingfigure shows a different style, as the dooris attached at the top, arid is simplypressed against when salt is needed. Itis best to fasten the door back, as shown,for a few days until the animals knowwhat the box contains, and then it canbe allowed to swing in position. Anyone using these or similar boxes will besurprised at the frequency wife whichstock visit them, and the sight will edu-cate the farmer to be more liberal withsalt in the future.

How to Grow Cabbage.To have cabbage early, tender and de-

licious, and to have it productive, it mustbe well fed. The secret of success thatattends its cultivation by the market gar-deners is the vast quantity of manureused. Where manure cannot be cheaplyobtained cabbage should be grown onsod ground, which, for early marketpurposes, should be plowed not later thanthe 1st of October. There is no fertilizercheaper or more effective for cabbage orother crop than a decaying sod. For latecabbage plow about the middle of Mj jor when grass is in the most active stateof growth; it is then as effectually killedas though plowed in autumn. Manureshould be put on and plowed in about themiddle of July, or just before the settingof the plants. As soon as the plants areestablished set the cultivator at work inthe field, the boe in the garden; not onlyshould they be set at work, but they mustbe kept at work—persistent work in cul-tivation is the price of cabbage. Thecultivator will not long do in the field:the small plow must follow, as no otherimplement pulverizes the soil as well.In the garden the fork must follow thehoe.

On the subject of varieties, C. L. Allen,authority for the foregoing, tells inAmerican Agriculturist that the bestcabbage is the Jersey Wakefleld, bothearly and late varieties. The late sort isnow popular with the market gardeneras a succession, coming in between theEarly Wakefield and the Early Summer.For late cabbage, the Savoy is one of thebest as a keeper, as well as for quality.The next choice is All Seasons, one ofthe best for a general crop. In the choiceof varieties for a general crop, locality isto be considered. A given variety willnot thrive alike in all situations anymore than a given variety of apples will.

Care and Improvement of Pastures,Grass ought not to be pastured in very

early spring before the ground settlesand the sod becomes firm. By this earlypasturing the tops are kept closely cutoff, the roots are much injured, fromwhich the grass does not recover for theentire season. To gain and thrive agrass needs some green leaves. Whenthe pasture is thin and unproductiveharrow the surface and sow on otherkinds of grasses and clovers, with a topdressing of some fertilizer. This serves,to some extent, as a rotation of crops forthe soil. When the cattle are fed oilmeal or other rich food, most of it goesto fertilize the land. Baron J. B. Lawesadvises against feeding grass the firstyear. He opposes mowing it the secondyear, having found that this practicedestroys the clovers and lesser grassesby encouraging the stronger growingspires. He avoids mowing for severalyears, feeding with cattle in preferenceto sheep. He sows a variety of grasses,leaving the best to hold their own. Thefalling off of a pasture may be avoidedby a liberal feeding on the ground ofcattle eating cotton meal cake.

Here and There.It appears that the hard pine of the

south, for which there is an increasingdemand, is in danger of exhaustion muchmore rapidly than was supposed possibleten years ago.

The South Australia recent wheatthreshings have proved rather disap-pointing, a good deal of the grain beingsmall and shriveled, and the yield nearereight bushels than ten. The earlierthreshings, however, were often verygood.

length and 300 miles in breadth is a great bog,called the Tundra. On these plains th<ground remains frozen the greater part o.the year to a depth of several hundred feet.In midsummer the ground thaws about on<

; foot in depth, and the top of this ice bed is' covered with moss and lichens and manyvarieties of flowers. Under the lichensfound miniature pine forests one or two hun-dred years old—the beginning of a coniferoutregion which extends from the Ural east tcthe neighborhood of the Sea of Okhotsk,-2.40Cmiles, and from the fifty-eighth to the seven-

; tieth parallel of north latitude, 000 miles, fai! north of the Arctic circle.

IB some parts of the Tundra an earth stra-tum alternates with a stratum of ice; and inthese carcasses of elephants and rhinoceroseshave been preserved for thousands of years,and the trunks of iarge trees with their rootsbedded in the ice. In this dreary uninhabit-able land, ice bound for nine months of th<year, exposed to the fury of the fierce gales otthe Arctic ocean, De Long lost his life. Insummer tbe mercury rises to 102 degs., andfalls from November to February to 40 degs.No other region can show such extremes. "Itis colder than the North Pole and hotter thanthe equator."

Easter Day Superstitions.There are a great number of queer super-

stitions attached to Easter day. Most boysand girls have heard of and wondered at thequaint notion that prevails in Germanyamong the children that the hare lays themany colored Easter eggs, and the Englishhave an equally curious notion about the sundancing on Easter morning. As to the originof the superstition there appears to be nodefinite explanation, but doubtless many arefamiliar with Sir John Suckling's poem, "TheBride,'1 in which ocour the lines;

But, oh, she dances such a way!No sun upon an Easter day

Is half so fine a sight.In support of this belief the English peas-

ants will tell you to look at the sun's reflec-tion in a pond or other body of water onEaster morning, and you may see it dance.So you may, to be sure, and so you will onany morning in the year, if the water stirsever so slightly. We need hardly add that inthis country and generation these and similarsuperstitions are not believed in by intelli-gent persons. :

Where Fork* Are Unknown.At least half the world know not the use

of the fork, and fully one-quarter of all tbemen, women and children in it eat with theirfingers, says a modern traveler. The Egyp-tian and the Turk pride themselves on theircleanliness in using fingers rather than forks.The forks, they say, have been in some otherman's mouth, and you must depend on yourservants for the cleaning. A large part ofthe 250,000,000 inhabitants of India eat withtheir fingers. The Burmese do not know theuse of chopsticks, and the Siamese have thesame table utensils as were used by Adamand Eve. The 400,000,000 Chinamen use inthe neighborhood of 1,000,000,000 chopsticksevery morning, noon and night, ar»d theKorean carries his chopsticks wherever hegoes. The chopstick is about as big aroundas a slate pencil and not much longer. Theyare made of wood, ivory or metal. It is cus-tomary at every first class Japanese hotel togive each guest a fresh pair of unused chop-sticks at every meal.

Foreign Fa«t Trains,The following table, from statistics col-

lected recently, is given by The Railroad andEngineering Journal to show the averagespeed of fast trains in different Europeancountries:

,-Speed per hour In miles,-^Including Without

Country. stops. stops.GreafcBritain............ 41;7 44;6France. . . . . . . . . . ... 82.8 36.*Holland 82,5 85.0Belgium 31.8 89,5 •NorthGermany... 31.8 84.8South Germany 81,2 88.0Austria-Hungary 80.0 32.0Italy 29.5 81.8Russia 29.0 81.7

The great oriental express, which runs be-tween Paris and Constantinople, passing overthe railroads of a number of European coun-tries, including Germany, is pronounced thefastest long distance express train run IDEurope.

Indian Honesty.An incident is told in Golden Days of one of

the Indian boysat Hampton, Va., who did notlike to take his medicine, and bis nurse agreedto pay him so much every time he took i tAt first he was pleased with this arrange*ment, but one evening the nurse found thathe had made no marks on the card where hekept a record of the number of times he hadtaken medicine. • She asked what it meant,and received an explanation from whichmany a white boy might learn a lesson, andspare his mother much trouble and annoy-ance;

l lMe lay here all day doing nothing; youpay me for it—not right. Me take medicine;me not take money."

A Waste of the Noble Metals.A Chicago photographer has recently call-

ed attention-to the great amount of moneywhich is absolutely thrown away every yearby the photographers of America. He says:"It is estimated that there is from forty to fiftythousand dollars' worth of nitrate of silverand gold used by the photographers everyyear in Chicago alone, and as much more inthe great state of Illinois." He further es-timates that if all the money that has beenthrown away in solutions for washing andfixing photographs in the United States dur-ing the past twenty-five years had been savedit would amount to enough to retire everyphotographer in the country today with anindependent fortune.

What Three Days' Wort Will Do.Edward Atkinson, the statistician, is cred-

ited with having showu distinctly that oneman's work in Minnesota for one day pro-duces the flour which one man would con-sume in a year; that another man's workfor one day carries it to the market, and thata third man's work for one day puts it intobread and on the table. That is to say, threedays' work of one man is enough to producethe bread which one man eats in a year.

Hleh Speed Vessels.Engineering says that Great Britain has

now 10 war vessels of 8,000 tons and upwards,with a minimum sf«ed of 19 knots; the UnitedStates, 8; Prance, ft; Spain, 8; Japan, 2, andRussia, 1. The United States accordinglynow claim that, in the important matter ofhigh speed war ships, they rank second, andare not far behind Great Britain.

Accessions to the Publie Domain.Louisiana was purchased from Napoleon,

Florida was bought from Spain, Alaska fromRussia, and Texas was annexed.
