Ifhe shoals' Kogaga la Dairying.
There It a great deal of reck lew and
stravagant advice (Iran In regard to
tbe advantage! of dairying over other
phase of agricultural production, ays
writer In Southern Farm Gazette,
While good profit are being made by
man? dairymen It remain a fact that
ft great deal of the dairying practiced
doe not pay m well as some other
Ilnee of work might Where a man
live near a good market and posses
ses the ability to properly manage a
dairy we know of no business that of
ten more pleasant or profitable work;
but few men are fitted for dairy work
and not many women are likely to1
fancy the drudgery and attention re
tulred to operate a dairy successfully,
The man who engage In the dairy
business and eipecta to mak a living
out of It without work 1 almost cer
tain to be dlNeppolnted. With good
facilities, careful and constant atten
tion and a special fit new for the busl
ne a fair profit may be expected. On
the other hand while tome are aure to
make a success of It under the moat
Adverse condition other will a cer
tainly fall under the moat favorable
circumstances, Where dairying can b
Bade moat profitable and where It
should be most encouraged la on the
farm where mixed farming I prac
ticed, A few cow can be made to pay
bandaomoly on any ordinary farm and
beside will afford on of the rarest
but grealeat luxurlea, good milk and
butter for family use,
Core alius V Cora Fodder.
Director K, D, Voorhee of the New
Jersey eiperlment station baa mad
oareful, comparative teat of corn all
age and field dried corn fodder for milk
and butter production, with following
results:
1. That the coat of harvesting, stor
ing and preparing the dry matter con
tained In corn was greater In the form
of silage than In the form of dried fod
der. 2. That the change that occur In
tb composition of llage were not
ucb as to decreaaa It feeding valu
to a greater degree than those which
occur to the proces of dry curing corn
fodder.
t. That for milk and butter produc
tion the feeding valu of the dry mat
ter of the silage was greater than that
of the dried fodder corn. The yield of
Bilk was 12.1 per cent greater, and the
yield of butter fat 10.4 per cent greater.
4. At one cent per pound for the
milk produced, the value of the corn
crop was near f 10 per acre greater
when fed to the form of silage rather
than In the form of dry fodder.
Tbl test was from a field of fif
teen acre that yielded only 11.25 tons
of allage to tb acre. From tbl It will
be seen that when one has ten acres of
a fair growth of corn (112.6 ton), It
would pay for a hundred dollar alio
the first year, to ensile It Instead of
feeding it dry. Sometime a little fig
ttrlng on correct data reveal some bad
"sink bole" In one' farming opera
tion. Lime Water fur sooar la Snoop.
A w are all having more or leu
trouble with our sheep and lamb be
ing off condition and generally scour
log, In many cases going 10 far a to
cause the loss of half the lamb crop in
thl county, and a my experience may
be of some benefit to some brother
heepman, I tbougbt I would send It to
you, write V. Dement In American
Sheep Breeder. After trying all the
old remedlea used before with aucceaa,
and atlll the trouble Increasing and
lamb dying, I finally thought of try
ing Urn water. Knowing that to be
a great agent for purifying; the stom
ach at times when every other tried
remedy had failed, I began using lime,
air slacked (rock lime Just aa well or
better). Put otie quart of lime In
trough and pump on say fifty gallons
water, theu let settle and water sheep
off the top; a the strength decrease
fill up with new lime. The sheep,
scouring, were feverish and drank
heartily ; therefore the remedy went
where needed most. The effect was
magical; all began Improving at once;
the offensive smell disappeared, and
only lust one weak lamb after using
lime. All are eating fin and appear
to be gaining. I don't know what ef
fect Ume would have on Intestinal
worms, It any, but I dn know how It
'worked with the aruure, There baa
been quite a loss of lamb In this coun

ALL OF A FOREST MONARCH.
tawlag Down a Ulant I'lne Tree la the
Minnesota Woods,
I bad my, eye on a grand old pine
standing a little way from any of hi
follow, a monarch in the forest, It
must have boon a hundred and forty
feet, perhaps more, from tbe topmost
point in It glossy green coronal down
to tbe dead goldenrod In the snow at
Its base. It was about three feet In
diameter at the ground, ao Jail, so
strong, ao straight, a noble tree In
tend, in very truth a king of tbe fur
eat. It wua the result of tbe life
which dwelt in the tiny black, winged
toed which wua lost to view more than
s century and a half before. While
I wua admiring the splendid propor
tions of tbe tree three men came to
ward me. One was a bright-eyed fel
low, short of stature and swarthy of
ikln, looking like one of the Chippewa
Indians whose home this foreat had
been nobody knowa how many centu
los. He looked the tree over sharply,
topping to this aide and to that, eyed
't critically from various points of
view, ar1 then with a small, sharp
II cut a een gush in the trunk about
t foot above the top of tbe dead gold
Mi rod in the snow. He was an under
sutter, a man whose business It Is to
jut Into the tree on the side on which
It should fall, ao that It may not be
broken In the fall, or lodge In the
srotch of another tree. The cut on tbe
tide of the tree la the guide for the
sawyer. The other men, bearing a
big saw, began cutting down the pine,
sawing steadily and powerfully
through the fragrant yellowish-white
trunk. Now and then the undercutter
would step up to them to see bow
tbey were progressing. When their
taw had passed the heart of the pine
h placed a small bright steel wedge
In tbe path of the saw and drove It
In. "Look out there, now I" came the
call of tbe undercutter aa be looked to
my direction. I made a quick scram
ble through the deep anow, nearly
tumbling over a bidden log, and grab
bing my camera as I went. I bad no
intention of staying to the Immediate
vicinity, for I bad seen trees like this
fall before, and I knew it was a risky
thing to stand hard by. The best di-
ected tree will sometimes veer a tit
le In Its fall, and woe to the one who
Hands below It. Many an experienced
woodman has been killed in Just such
t place; many a one has been caught
ind pinioned, perhaps to escape with
nly broken legs or ribs. In a second
more the noble pine came crashing
lown through the branches of the
other trees, falling upon the frozen
farth with a noise which drowned all
'.be other nolsos of the forest a roar
which echoed and re-echoed through
'.he long, dim aisles of the forest like
the booming of some mighty cannon
!'. W. 8. Harwood In St. Nicholas.
MIm Tonnant Had Chang-ad.
The pretty story is told how Henry
VI. Stanley wooed and won Miss Dor
othy Tenuant. Mis Teunant was tbe
rlglnal of Sir John Mlllals' famons
ilcture, "Yes or No?" It seems that
Stanley hud asked the question and
Jie reply was "No." The great ex
tlorer went to Africa again, and after
teveral years returned to London to
Ind himself the moat talked-of man of
'be day. The thought of Mlsa Tennant
was still uppermost In hla mind. When j
le met her at a retention h maile I
lonversatlon by asking biro: "lHi you
Ind Ixmdon much changed, Mr. Stan
ey?" '"No, 1 haven't found lx4on
thanged, and I'm not changed, either,"
eturned the eiplorer, with his usual
ntrepldlty; "have ou?" "Yes. I've
thanged," answered Mis Tennant,
My. A few days later Mlllals received
t note from his former subject, be
(Inning: ".My I War Mr John -The no

Moro About the San Jose Seal.
Bulletin 86, Alabama Experiment
Station: In the Inspection of various
nurseries made to Alabama this spring
several fact of Interest regarding thl
peat were noted. In nuraerlea whr
all stock was kept moving every three
year, there were no case of evident
infestation among the nursery trees.
Although on some of these places ap
ple trees In old orchards and the old
wood of pear grafting stock over five
years of age, bore the San Jose scale, 1
was told by experienced nurserymen
that it would be entirely practicable
to move also all blocks of grafting
stock every three years. On tbe ptoses
above mentioned this plan will be fol
lowed, and the orchards removed en
tire, All of which will practically pre
elude the possibility of the San Jose
or any other scale gaining a foothold
to these nurseries. Acting on my ad
vice all the nurserymen visited (and
most of the larger nurseries to tbe
state were Inspected) have undertaken
thorough methods of fumigation. Thus,
while the first move will protect the
nurserymen the fumigating will still
further protect purchasers of stock.
Food Plants Other Than Fruit Trees.
The question Is often asked as to
what trees other than the fruit trees,
tbe San Jose scale will attack. Web
ter, in Oblo, has found It on Bass-
wood or Linden, Sumac, Elm, Walnut,
Willow, several Poplars, Catalpa,
Chestnut, Osage, Orange and Snowball
A specimen of Cotoneaster, coming
from a Long Island nursery and sent
to Webster for examination, was rouna
to be very badly Infested.
Varieties of Fruits Possessing Im
munity. Inquiries have frequently
come to me as to whether there were
any varieties of the various fruits pos
sessing Immunity from the attack of
tbl pest, I have beard of but one,
and that was reported by Webster. He
says; "The Early Richmond Cherry I
believe to be exempt from attack, as I
bave found trees whose branches in
terlocked with those of a pear that bad
been killed by tbe scale, yet the cherry
was unlnfested; and to two cases that
came under my observation, where
this variety of cherry had been grafted
upon mahaleb stock, and shoots bad
sprung up from below the graft, the
hoots were badly infested with scale,
while none at all could be found on
the trees themselves.
Long lilaod t'ranbarrla.
The cranberry grower of tbe east
ern end of Long Island are now bar-
vesting the crop of 1897, which prom
ises to be an unusually large one. Tbe
berries are also very fine, being large
and sound and bave an excellent flavor.
This section of the Island haa quite a
number of marshes, moat all of them
being under constant cultivation and
growing large quantities of berries.
Long Island cranberries alwaya find a
ready market and at a good figure. The
price paid thla year will undoubtedly
be at least $3 per bushel. A cranberry
marsh needs little or no fertilizer, the
moat essential point being to see that
the marsh Is flooded with water at the
right time and drawn off with equal
precision. In consequence of this there
Is very little labor and less still of
capital needed in conducting a cran
berry marsh after the ground Is pre
pared, the plants set out, and the
marsh Is in growing condition. This, of
couse, Is expected during the harvest
ing period, when for the space of six
weeks or two months the owner Is busy
looking after his crop. The largest
cranberry grower on the Island Is Syl
vester N. Woodhull of Rlverhead.
About twelve years ago he prepared
twenty-five acres of seemingly value
less low land as a cranberry field and
It now yields aa great a profit aa any
equal acreage In Suffolk county. Thla
year Mr. Woodhull will spend about
12,000 In harvesting his crop, while as
a return he will secure upward of 9,
0O0. Long Islander.

OLD VIOLINS.
A OarpoaUf Faaaloat for Oollaotlsg
Thorn He Was tbo Floaoer.
It was about the beginning of the
present century that the craze for the
possesion of the works of tbe old Ital
ian masters set In, and England and
France vied to tbe ardor of the strug
gle to obtain them, says Household
Words. At that time many of the
famous Cremonese instrument, and
those ttlonglng to other tallan schools
bad passed Into na"lect and oblivion,
numbers of them being scattered about
among Italian villages, in tbe bands of
ignorant people, unconeeous of their
beauty and worth and Incapable of ade
quately appreciating them. It was
Louis Tarislo who acted as pioneer in
thl matter. Bom of bumble parents,
wholly unconnected with the art of
music, be adopted the trade of carpen
ter, and In bis leisure time learned to
play a violin. He possessed no partica
lar musical talent, but became interest'
ed In tbe construction of hi instru
ment, so that the playing of it became
at length quite a secondary matter
with him. A passion for the collect
Ing of violins was aroused in him, and
giving up fals former employment, he
traveled far and wide In search of lost
Cremona. Wandering about from vil
lage to village throughout Italy to the
guise of a peddler, exchanging new
fiddles for old, be became possessed of
treasures of the greatest value. , He
then mode bis way to Paris, and sold
them to the best-known dealers In
violins at that city. His whole life af
terward was spent In this fashion, and
be amassed considerable wealth. He
came to love bis violins, however, for
their own sake, apart from the riches
they brought him, and wan often loath
to part with them. He was eccentric
and solitary in bis habits, and at last
died alone In wretohed lodgings to Mi
lan, surrounded by numerous and
priceless specimens of the instruments
he bad loved and lived for. Through
his enthusiasm and that of others who
followed In his wake, England and
France, during the present century.
have become possessed of some of the
finest masterpiece of the old Italian
schools,
