A Bee-hire in an Attic Roera.
Mr. James Emerson, a resident on
the Xntt road, some four miles south of
Manchester, has a swarm of bees which
has been in his house forty years. Hav
ing no use for one of the attio rooms
in his two-story house, he took the hive
of bees and placed it there, boring
holes through tho side of the building
facing the hive, so that the bees might
go in and out. During all these years
Mr. Emerson has used the honey freely
and the bees have buill a comb on
either side of tho hive two feet in
thickness and several feet in height.
The comb next to the hive is filled with
honey, while thero is nothing in that on
the other side. Concord (N.H.) Mon

ita tion says: 'J'he potato crop is liable

The blight is caused by the growth
in ilie potato vines of tnioutc parasitic
plants, known as fungi. There are

being most favorable to its develop
ment. TIMK OK AITKAKANCi:
It usually makes its first appearance
during the month of August when the
vines of the later varieties are in full
growth. Early varieties often escape
its attacks altogether. The leaves are
the first to show its effects. They
become more or less discolored, then
begin at the edge to turn brown and
curl up. or, if the weather be very
damp, to rot If a leaf which is only
partlj dead is closely examined there
will be seen on the under surface, es
pecially along either side of the line
tcpnrating the dead portion from the

consists of the spore stalks of the
fungus which is growing within the
tifsucs of the leaf aud which consti
tutes the sole cause of the
disease. If a portion of the leaf
thus affected be placed under
a suitable power of the microscope, the
fine white branching stalks may be
plainly seen growing out of the breath
ing pores or storeata in the epidermis.

sides and tips of their branches will
be seen little white egg-shaped bedics;
these are the spores or teed of the
fungus causing the blight
tiik i:kai. ti.ant.
If the interior of a leaf be examined
there will be found running in ail
directions among the cells, especially
those of the under side of the leaf, line
white threads which arj the mycelium
cr the body of the fungous plant.
These threads absorb from the cells
among which they run the nutriment
which has been elaborated for the use
of the potato itself, and cause them
to die and shrivel up or decay. The
spores as soon as they arc
mature are very readily broke n
oil from their stalks, and be
ing so liht arc easily borne by
the wind to healthy vinos where
they germinate in any moisture they
may find upon the leaves or stems and
make their way through the skin or
epidermis into the succulent tissues
beneath, where the thread develop
and in their turn send out a crop of
spores which help to spread the
disease.
JSAriniTV of srr.EAD.
If the weather is sufficiently warm
and damp this development and spread
is vrry rapid, so that a large field of
apparently healthy vines may be en
tirely killed in a very few da3s. If
tiiis destruction of the tops occur
cariy, the tubers can not mature and
the yiild will be a lijbt one ar.d of in
ferior quality; moreover, the fungus is
not confined to the tops but makes its
way into the tubers also. The potatoes
thus attacked arc very likely to decay,
and great loss occurs, not only before
they are dug but even after they are
stored in the cellar, if the conditions
there should be favorable. The
threads of the fungus live over winter
in the tubers, which, if used for seed,
serve to start the disease again the
following summer.
tkkatmext.
If it can be avoided, potatoes which
arc known to be diseased or which
have been grown in a field attacked by
the blight should not be ustd for seed.
However, a remedy has been found
which, if used in season, seems
to be very efficient in check
ing or preventing the dis
ease. This remedy is the ISordeaux
mixture, which, when applied to the
vines destroys the vitality of the
spores with wh'ch it cnt:s in contact
and thus pn vents the infection of
healthy p'auts. It should be apylied.
if possible, before the disease makes
its appearance, at least by ibe last of
July, and the applications should be
repeated at intervals of ten to four
teen days, and oftener if the mixture
is washed off by mins. until the tubers
have matured.. Usually three applica-
ti-us will be sufficient but a fourth
may sometimes be required.
EXAMPLES.
In experiments made in the sum
mer of 1892, the vines on the sprayed
plots remained green from one to fonr
weeks longer than those on the un
sprayed plots.
In one case the yield of merchanta
ble potatoes from the sprayed plot
was about one-third greater than that
from a similar unsprr ed plot, while
on two other sprayed plots the yield
was one-half greater than on the un
Gpraycd plot.
In another case, in a different field,
atraall sprayed plot yielded three
times as many merchantable potatoes
as the corresponding unsprayed plot,
while the weight of rotten potatoes on
the unsprayed plot was threo times as
great as on the sprayed plot.
Seedlkss GitArra It has been stated
in a recent essay by a prominent hor
ticulturist that seedless grapes are
produced by growing a plant from
cuttings for stveral successive gener
ations. The theory is that a plant
becomes accustomed to this mode of
propagation, and then the natural
procet-s of producing seeds becomes
abortive by disuse. While those of
wide experience may smile at this
speculation, it is really one on which
many tcieiititie men differ. That
there is no ground whatever for be
lieving that seedless giapes can be
produced in this way is evident from
the case of the red currant in our gar
dens. This has been continuously
propagated by cuttings from the titue

the seedless grapes is not yet well
known; and the honest answer to the
questions as to how seedless grapes
are produced would be to say that "we
dou't know." Median's Monthly.
Field Means We may have said it
before, but it will do to repeat now as
a rt minder, that a crop of common
field beans is a good thing to put in if
you have a piece of land to spare
They do not require very rich soil, nor
is the cultivation very 1 a bo 1 ious. ISut
it should b-5 clean culture from the
start, as the crop can not make head
way against weeds. The harvesting
also must be done with great care, not
allowing the beans to lie upon the
ground if it is at all wet. A good
crop should pay at least as well as a
crop of wheat, and has the good point
that it helps to distribute the labor
over a larger portion of the year.
After the beans are harvested they
may be stored and threshed out at
any time during tho v. inter. This
often will enable 30U to employ with
pndit some time which otherwise
could not be uo -d to much advantage.

Okciiakds Pay. We observe a dispo
sition on the part of some agricultural
journals to discourage fruit growing,
and especially the planting of apple
orchards, by farmers. From one point
of view this is all right It will not
pay at all to plant fruit of any kind,
unless yon give it cont'nuous and in
telligent care. Very often an 01 chard
is planted, and then left to shift for
itself, in the expectation that it will
thus come to profitable maturity.
There could be no more mistaken idea.
Itut orchards of any sort carefully
looked after, and protected agcinst in
sect enemies, are pretty sure to be a
good investment One point is per
fectly obvious to all. and that is that
orchards add to the value of fie farms
which contain them. Ex.
IiYE for Fall Pasture Many Polk
county farmers sowed rye to provide
fall pasture for their stock, just before
they cultivated their corn the last
time. That was the best policy, but
there is still time to sow rye in the
corn and harrow it in with one-hcrse
harrows. The additional harrowing
will be of great benefit to the corn,
and the rye will have ample time to
grow into a splendid fall pasture for
stock. A considerable portion of
the corn will be cut off and
fed to hogs while it is green,
and all of it ought to be cut
for ensilage, or fodder and the fodder
stacked, in time for the stock to gain
the benefit of the fall pasture. Iowa

ABierlcaa Tea.
Some fine specimens of American
tea nave been sent from Fayette, N.
C., this season to northern markets,
and, according to the New York Even
ing Post, the results of the sales seem
to indicate that the culture of this
crop in parts of the south may yet
lead to large fortunes. It is not gen
erally known that attempts were
made to establish tea gardens here be
fore the war, and since the end of that
outbreak systematic efforts have been
made to revive the old gardens. Prof.
Masscy of the State agricultural col
lege has been instrumental in trying
to spread information among the farm
ers concerning the culture of tea, and
a few have been induced to put out
gardens. The tea sent from the old
Smith farm this season brought 80
cents a pound, and some from the
Summerville gardens in South Caro
lina brought as high as SI a pound.
Last summer the tea cut at Summer
ville amounted to a dozen or two
pounds, and this year several times
that amount has been sold. Dr. Shep
ard says that the leaf grown in the
south is better for black than for green
tea and that the cost of picking is
about 25 cents a pound of cured tea.
On a large scale, with the best appa
ratus for gathering and curing, this
cost might be largely reduced. He
feels confident, however, that cluap
rate culture cjuld never be made
profitable here on account of
the lower wages that rule in
Japan and India and China, but
the higher grade teas can be grown
with considerable profit Dr. Shep-
REVIEW.
ard is increasing his lea gardens
every year, and when the plants are
old enough to yield good crops he pro
poses to put in good machinery and
start into tea selling or money.
Prof. Massey says that the finest
tea he ever tasted was grown in
the south, and he has no doubt but
it will be a future profitable
crop in the Carolinas. Mr. Jack
son, an expert tea grower from As
sam, who had charge of the Summer
ville plantation under Gen. Le Due,
says that with negro labor he can
raise tea more cheaply than is done
with coolie labor in India, because of
its greater reliability. In regard to
the hardiness of the tea plant, all ob
servers seem to agree that north of
thirty-five degrees it is unwise to at
tempt to cultivate it Around Old
Point Comfort, where some plants
have been growing more or less feebly
for years, the winters cut the plants
badly, and on the upper part of the
Delaware peninsular they were en
tirely killed. P.ut south of these
points, in the piney woods country
extending from Kaleigh to "fie gulf,
tea plants can be grown with great
success, and the time may nit be far
distant when American tea will com
pete openly in the market with that
shipped from China, Japan and India.
Wheat Uaisinc and Lai; r. The
crop is a favorite with immigrants,
because our free prairies can be broken
at small expense and cultivated with
little labor; it is salable for ready
cash, and necessary to provide re
sources for buildings or fences, or
farm stock or implements, and is also
depended on for deferred payments on
purchase. Cultivated year after year
it declines in rate of yield, ml so much
from loss of fertility as from the
crowding of weeds. The very fertility
of the soil is the means of deteriorat
ing and almost destroying the crop. It
is one of the compensations of nature
to make it impossible for one to get
something for nothing. Sometimes
the avenger comes in to execute a
wholesale destruction, as is now
threatened by the Russian thistle
Only labor can be depended on to con
quer all things. J. R. Dodge.
Manure for Rasi-rerries. No other
fertilizer is nearly so popular among
growers as stable manure. In replies
to questions sent to growers asking
what fertilizer is found to be most
satisfactory, stable manure is
mentioned for'y four times, while
wocd ashes ranks next, being
mentioned twenty-four times. The
next choice is commercial ferti
lizer and groucd bone or bone meal,
each of which is mentioned four
times. Four growers also say that
they use no fertilizers at all; these
live in the west. A number of other
things are mentioned from one to
three times in these replies, among
which are superphosphate, compost,
leaves, mulch of any kind, etc. Ashes
and manure-mulch are mentioned
three times as giving good satisfaction.

1'roflt In Tea Cows.
Prof. II. II Dean of the Ontario
agricultural college addressed a con
vention as follows:
Ten cows, perhaps, is the average
number which a farmer should have
before he will begin to realize that he
is dairying in earnest Where but
from three to five cows are milked,
they are usually looked upon as a side
track "the women kin have 'em to
make a little pin money." Too many
persons who own cows are playing at
the dairy business, just like children
who keep house go visiting and dress
dolls. Itut in order to make inoncy
out of cows nowadays wc need to study
and hustle.
The first requisite is that these ten
cows shall be owned and cared for by
a dairyman or dairy woman. You say,
"Oh, pshaw! that is easy enough."
Well, now let us see whether it is or
not The following are some of the
points of a good dairyman:
He (or she) should be neat, clean, a
good farmer, a good judge of cattle, a
good feeder, kind, thoughtful, and
should have business ability to buy
and sell to advantage. The next re
quisite is that these cows should
be the very best cows that can be
had. Every one of them should be
a standard cow cows that will give
G,000 pounds of milk or make -."0
pounds of butter in a year, aud as
much more than this as possible. To
get these cows, the surest way is to
breed them. liuy them if you can;
thej' arc cheap at from SIO to S.V) per
head. The third point is that these
cows shall be properly housed and
cared for, and be fed on cheep food.
The money lies between the cost -f
production and the price obtained.
The former should be as low as possi
ble and the latter well, all you can
get (Srass and soiling crops are good
for summer feed, with some bran or
meal when pastures fail; and for
winter use, silage, mangels, carrots,
sugar beets, clover hay, pea?, oats,
bran, ground wheat, linseed and cot
tonseed meal. Give variety and all
that the cows will eat up clean.
After the milk has been produced in
the best and cheapest manner it
must then be marketed in the best
way. There is great loss where this
is not properly looked after. If con
siderable time, labor and money have
been spent up to this point, it is very
important that the latter part of the
business should be well handled.
After the needs of the family have
been properly looked after and I do
not believe in selling the best and cat
ag the poorest at home the rest is
usually disposed of in the four follow
ing methods:
1. Home Dairy. To make a success
of this it is necessary to have plenty
of help, good utensils, proper milk
rooms, a knowledge of how to make
butter or cheese, or both, and a suit
able market for the product If a
person is not near a factory or has a
market near by, with previously men
tioned requisites, it may be advisable
to engage in the home manufacture
of butter or cheese, otherwise, for
the mass of farmers, the factory plan
is better.
2. City or Town Milk Trade. A
good city milk trade is very profitable.
Ky making specialties, such as bot
tling milk, pasteurizing milk, keeping
special cows for children and invalids,
supplying skim milk at reduced rates
and butter milk made from cream or
skim milk this trade is very remun
erative. A great deal of labor is con
nected with the work, and where milk
is to be shipped to middlemen there is
often a great deal of risk in not get
ting money for milk shipped.
3. Creamery. Creameries in Ontario
arc of two classes cream gathered
and separator. In the former cream
is only taken from the farm and the
skim milk left for feeding. This class
of creamery has an advantage where
roads are poor and cows scattered. To
insure its success all the patrons
should provide deep cans and cold
water. A supply of ice is needed to
cool the milk below 15 degrees. Cream
raised in this manner will not give so
high a test but there will be more
inches of cream from the same num
ber of pounds of milk and it will pro
duce a finer article of butter. High
testing cream and ordinary shallow
pan cream are a hindrance to the but
termakcr in a cream gathering cream
cry. It is necessary in this kind of a
crcamery.asin all co-operative dairies,
that all the patrons should co-operate
to make theirs one of the very best
One patron can not make the reputa
tion of a factory, though one may
mar it
If the separator creamery is patron
i.ed.milk should be sent of good qual
ity well aerated and cooled and the
skim milk should be fed to calves and
pigs, in order to reap the greatest
profits. As a rule there is .more money
made from milk sent to a separator
than to a cream-gathering creamery,
as the cream is more completely taken
out of the milk by the separator than
by the ordinary method of setting.
Ileef and butter make a very good
combination, hence in beef raising
sections the creamery is more popular
than the cheese factory. i

That's the way to make money out of ,
cheese. A well managed joint stock
company usually pays higher dividends
to patrons than a private factory, if
the factory divides proceeds by test it
will pay to keep a few cows that give
very rich milk to bring up the average
of the whole. Cheese factories have
paid well in the province. Support
the factory if there is one in the lo
cality. It is somewhat difficult to raise
calves in cheese factory sections, but
by having the best cows drop their
calves some time before the factory
opens, fairly good calves may be
reared. The dairy cow and the hog
make a combination that it is dillicttlt

Utilizing Waste Prodacta.
The Elgin Dairy Report tells how J.
T. Polk of Greenwood, Ind., combines
horticulture and dairying.
Mr. Polk is one of the largest canners
of corn and peas, and has utilized the
corn husks, ear, pea vines and the
refuse from these two products by en
silaging them as feed for his dairy
cattle. This utilization of what hat
heretofore been waste product to the
growers of these articles for canners,
shows the evolution of the times, and
what can be done by a practical dairy
man in many ways. The amount of
labor and material that are thrown
away on the ordinary dairy farm is as
tonishing, when the close habits of
economy of the farmer are considered.
This materiil when placed in the silo
and fermented according to the pro
cess as carried out in this method of
preparing feed, is of very great value,
and the quantity and quality of rations
that are furnished by it on the farm
of Mr. Polk is astonishing. The
milk immediately upon being
received into the bottling room
is aerated by having a draft of cold
air forced through it from the bottom
of the tank; it is then passed over an
aerator and cooler, and in this pro
cess has passed through several strain
ing operations, so that it comes to tho
bottling tank in probably as perfect a
condition as is possible. The milk as
it is received from the stable is !.' to
OS degrees, according to the weather,
and in less than twenty minutes is in
the bottling tank cooled to 15 or "(). The
aeration aud cooling giving the milk
most excellent keeping quality, and
producing a flavor that once had, a
customer never wants to be without
The value of these waste products
utilized for ensilage, is practically
nothing, as they arc at present dis
posed of. In this way they are worth
a great many dollars every year,
furnishing rations to a herd of Jersey
cows, that if raised or bought would

methods of reducing the cost of
milk and increasing the profits to the
producers thereof. Farmers and pat
rons of creameries who complain of
low prices for their products, could
well afford to look into the little losses
that amount to so many dollars in the
course of a year in their own work.
It is a very common thing to see from
SO to 100 head of dairy cows traveling
over a 100 acre lot, without securing
any large amount of feed. If the 100
acre lot was planted in corn or some
other plant suitable for ensilage, it
would probably furnish feed for the
fifty cows for six months in the year
without any other green food, and
with the addition of only a small
quantity of grain, would carry them
through for the whole six months. It
is this method of reducing the cost
and increasing the profits, that the
dairyman must consider in these
times.
Pointers on Geese.
An exchange says: Three or four
geese to a gander arc all that should
be allowed, if the object is to breed
for eggs for hatching.
It is advisable to set the eggs early
in the season, as the most vigorous
young are obtained from the early
broods
When the goslings are hatched they
should be cooped with their mother,
and fed on fresh tender grass, cut
fine, also chopped cabbage and a small
quantity of dough made from corn
meal. Drinking water should be sup
plied in a shallow dish.
When about three weeks old they
should be let out during fine weather
and fed with only a little meal, twice
a day, and at the age of six weeks
whole grain can be substituted.
Grass is as much the natural food of
the goose as the cow, and when let
run they will naturally take to it
However, II. II. Stoddard says tin
tamed Canada goose and the long
necked Chinese goose depend less up
on grass, finding mucli of their food
in marshes and shallow water.
The same authority says: "In win
ter the supply of grain must of course
be greatly increased, but it should be
accompanied by some form of green
fodder. Apples are useful, one being
allowed daily to each bird; the cheaper
sorts may be stored in autumn for
this purpose. Itowen, cut fine, well
soaked during several hours, anil
sprinkled with meal is a valuable ar
ticle. Hulk may be obtained by using
whole or ground coarse bran and oats
Geese, to be profitable, must have
water for swimming as well as drink
ing purposes, but their range should
be confined or the birds will swim
away. ISeese arc very destructive to
grass, eating some and tramping
down a great deal more. They should
have a pasture to themselves, and can
be shut in with a fence, tight near the
ground They will not generally lly
more than four or five feet up, and if
disposed to go higher than this their
wings may be clipped.
(Jccse can be plucked three times a
3'ear in the south, but not more than
twice in the eastern states, and once
r twice in the west If plucked too
near freezing weather they suffer
from the cold and do not thrive. I
The Wlntnr Dairy Cow in Summer.
I am disappointed in one thing con
nected with winter dairying, says a
writer in an exchange. My plan has
been to dry off the cows in .luly and
turn them off to pasture, but it is get
ting more and more difficult every
year to dry them off soon enough to do
this This year I could not get them
dried up till within three weeks of the
time some of them were to come in,
and I had to milk them once while
they were away. Next year I intend
to keep them at home and give them
millet and corn fodder and milk them
us long as they will give any. It looks
as though they were going to develop
into perpetual milkers and not give my
wife and myself any vacation. Why is it
that cows which come in in the spring
will dry up so fast in July and August,
while cows which come in in the pre
ceding October are such persistent
milkers, is something I do not under
stand. I have a Jersey cow that has
given milk seventeen months and is
coming in in less than a month, yet
bhe gives over a quart a day. On the
other hand, the summer cow due to
come in in March or April dries up in
December or perhaps in November
without any trouble. You have only
to turn her out to eat frost bitten
grass, with a good north wind blow
ing and the thermometer at 20 or be
low, and she will dry up fast enough.
She will when thus treated dry up the
owner's pocketbook as well. What
effect this persistent milking will
have on the calves I can not tell ami
do not especially care. I have seen
no ill effects yet.and when I do it will
be time enough to think about this
part of the matter.
