(agricultural news A FEW SUGGESTIONS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. Valuea of Agrric uitiml t olle(ea and Matloea oouilslUn and hhed foea farm Kettle Mow to Oet Kid of Kale Warm stable for turn. Clover and I Inter Sod. The idea that clover will not grow well on a newly turned clover ood rouieg from th experience of farmers In wheat-KrowinK sections, where the clover rod H plowed in the fail, needed with wheat and then with clo er ;u;ain in the spring. In such 'ae the iiiech;niical condition of the soil is not rl.'ht for the wed afier it tferiiruate so a to allow the youuif plant to get flrinlv rooted. A sod plowed in the fall does not rot much until spr iik, e ecially if a little ,'reen herhaire is turned under. It holds the furrow up and make the land wulirlv iik'ht and orous When clover -eed is -own late in win ter or early in spring it germinates well and begins to atcli hold of the soli with It routs The fanner thinks as he sites a th ck seeding of clover eany in hjiniiu mat, ne win nave a good catch. Hut the unrooted sod lets a r in under the clover roots, and if there amies a dry time the clover, having little hold on the ioil, per ishes. I esiiles, If there are hollows under the furrow, these are closed up when the sod begins to rot, the sod falls down and leaves the clover roots broken and exposed. We have seen manycases where the failureof clover was.disiinctly traceable to thiscause. Mr. Terry, in the 1 radical Farmer, gives an example where this ex plana will probably apply. I.i rutin a I arm Kettle. t)ne of the necessities upon a farm is a set kettle for boiling food for hogs, hens and other stock. It is often Impossible to locate this within one of the farm buildings, and so the necessity arises of building a brick foundation for the kettle out mil A I ARM KETTI.E. of (loots. Such a set kettle should be protected from the weather, for, if it Is not, the kettle is soon rusted, and the bricks become loosened by the entrance of water from the ton. A good protection Is shown in the Illustration from the American Agri culturalist The corner uprights are secured to the brickwork by Iron straps, one side and the front of the wooden structure being hinged at the top. allowing free access to the ket tle. This useful contr vance will be more convenient if the top of the structure in which the kettle Is set lie of one complete slab of done, slaie or soapstr.ne. but this Is not at all neceessary. j i Coloring WlillewU.

I'ro cuie fresh or caustic lime, put a peck or mote in a tub or barrel, and cover six Inches aooe with hot water. Coer it to keep in the steam. When cool, add enough water to reduce ta a wash which may lie easily applied with a brush. Two pounds of rice Hour will make It spread more easily, mixing it with cold water before it is put in: stir thoroughly, dr. instead of the rice water, add two pounds of sulphate of ,inc ana a pound of salt. This will harden it better on ex posed woodwork. To give it the right color add a pound or two of yellow ochre for cream color, or two pounds of umber, or less if lighter Is de-ired: or for a light slate color or gray add half a p nind of lampblack, or a less quantity We have found a durable wash for outdoor work of a p k of water-lime, half a iei k of fine clear sand, fir as much as the water will hold in suspension, with enough water to apply it. Country Ccntlcman. lrttlli( Kill of KiU. An Ohio farmer, writing to the American Agriculturist, says: On the barn floor 1 placed a thlrty-six-gallon kettle tilled half lull of rye. A jilang six feet long led from the floor to the Uip of the kettle The rye was left in the kettle for about a fortnight, until the rats had become thoroiignly familiar with the kottle and were making it the headquarters for their nightly revels, with seeming conlldence that no harm was In tended, when, very treachorously.one evening, water wan substituted for j the grain, and a half inch of chafT from the barn lloor concealed the water. The result was that twenty- one drowned rats were forked out tho first morning and sixty-two within a week, and after that no rats were seen for a year. Warm Mlablea fur t own.

Ashes are too much wasted by many farmers who do not seem to ap preciate their importance as manure. I hey are among the best fertilizers that can be applied either directly to the land or mixed wilh the compost. They are l-eneticial to all c ops and this has been found to apply eveu to coal ashes which, in themselves, have but little manurlal value: but the reason that even these are so useful 1 is that thev absorb and retain moist ure. Independent of the irfitash that wood ashes contain and which makes it such a valuable manure an ajiplioa- lim of it renders the ground porous und keeps it cool and moist. r'arni ! ers cannot be too careful too save H I and spread it over their lands. L'pon sandy lands we consider it e jiially as valuable IKiund for nound. as trnano. 1 j I think al-out 100 bushels of wood ashes per acre is a fair pnijiortlon to apply to light soils. Try it, brother farmers, and 1 don't think you will ever regret having read and put to practice my experience with ashes. C. W. Norris, in Kpitomlst floor Yard Walk. It) New Kngland, says a corre spondent of the Country (ientleman, we have plenty of gravel walks, which are always dry, but for tender feet they are not so pleasant. 1 us d one lietween my residence and dairy house, but it often needed repairing. Then I thought 1 would try cement water lime and 1 shoveled out the gravel. The grass had grown into it on the sides, forming a sort of curb. I tilled the spaca between these with cobble .tones the size of goose eggs and applied cement Portland and coarse, clean sand, hair and half thin enough to fill all the spa es be tween the stones, but thick cnoueh v sniooin over the top with noe or shovel.

The appearance of animals on a farm tells a good deal about the owner and his tasts. Thin cows with prominent ribs In w inter or spring, are not much of a recommendation. So.mk men have so much faith in the scriptural assurance that "the Lord tempers the wind to the shorn lamb," that they refuse to build sheep-sheds. Wiikn the trough is tilled with ice cold water, and the cow is compelled to drink from the trough, she will lose heat exactly in proportion to the heat imparted to the cold water by her body. Hkns may fail to lay because of improper feeding. An egg is very complete in its composition, as it will produce a chick, and the food must necessarily correspond. The safest and lest course to pursue Is to feed a variety.

Comckknino tho Importance of grass In tho farm economy, It Is sur prising that so many farmers give It so little attention. While In a ma jority of cases If more care was taken In seeding down und securing a good stand of grass, no hi tter plan could be desired for building up the land.
