BARRETT writes ip American Cultivator as fol lows: Liquid ma" bure applied direct- J ly to plants gives much quicker re sults than the coarse manure. The fertil-. izing elements coru tained in the liquid manure are in a con dition for rapid ab sorption; and the plants conse quently feel the. benefit at once. It does, not follow, however, that liquid manures can or should take the place of all coarse manures, any more than that the highly-concentrated commercial fertilizers should run out the barnyard fertilizers. The soil needs both. One great advantage that coarse barnyard manures, confer upon the soil is to separate the soil particles and make them more porous. The thicker and more compact a soil is the more does it need coarse barnyard ma nures. But the value of the liquid manure is frequently overlooked by farmers, and more of this is wasted than saved. If a manure heap is located outdoors where the spring rains can fall upon it the water leaching through the pile will soon form a middle 'at the bottom. If allowed to stand a short time it will get dark. Now apply some of this liquid manure' direct to a dozen hills of corn or any vegetable, and fertilize a dozen more equally good hills with the coarse manure from the pile. Make two or three applications of each dur ing the summer and watch the results. The experiment has been tried many times, and the results are invariably in' favor of the liquid manure. The plants grow faster nnd thriftier and produce larger crops. At the Iowa Experiment Station some time ago this experiment was tried, and the acre of corn fertilized with the liquid manure I yielded 82.02 bushels of corn, and an other acre fertilized with barnyard ma nure of ordinary richness produced only 50.06 bushels. This represents roughly what a farm er is losing when he exposes his ma nure pile so that the liquid part is wasted. Every rain that fails on it washes away considerable of its .most valuable ingredients. This waste- is ceaseless. It continues right up to the time of applying the manure to the field. If allowed to stand out all win ter it-stands to -reason that more than half of the essence of the manure has been wasted. Fortunately of late years this practico of exposing, the manure, to the weather at -all seasons of the year has gradually fallen into disuse, and only a few farmers of the old school hold to it In the cowyard and stables the liquid part of the manure is allowed to soak into the earth, where it can never be reached. On a large dairy farm this waste is enormous. If one has wooden or cemented floors of course the waste is checked almost en tirely, but not one in 10 have such floors. The hard earth floors, packed down by a heavy pounding, and covered with a foot of chaff, will collect most of this liquid manure in the cow stable. But the absorbent must be renewed often enough to keep all of the liquid from going to waste. If the yard has a slight Incline the liquid will run off, and can be conducted into receivers placed at one side. During rain storms tbe surplus moisture is great, and a dozen barrels of liquid can be collected in this way. This will "be liquid manure strongly diluted, but it can be poured over the manure heap later in dry weather so Miat most of it can be absorbed. One loses little' from the cow stable exposed to the weather by adopting some such plan as this. Value of a Record. The extra cost of keeping a record is but trifling compared with the ben efits derived from it - Printed milk sheets, if it is desired to use them. can be obtained from any dairy sup ply company at a small cost The little time and trouble of weighing and test ing will never be missed and at the end. of the year the dairy value of the herd is known. For the following rea sons, then, a record should be kept: 1. It enables the weeding out of un profitable animals and replacing them by those of superior merit, thus in creasing the profits from the dairy. 2. It indicates which cow's calves will probably be the best to rear and which to dispose of. 3. It enables the selection of animals that make the best use of the food given them. 4. It enhances the value of the herd and the selling price of both 'cows and calves. 5. It enables a study of the individ ual peculiarities of each animal. ' 6. .It enables a rational system of feeding: insures against wasteful or extravagant feeding and arouses and holds the attention of the dairymen, as well as solving many hitherto un-thought-of problems, Mo. Exp. Sta. Fotatoes In Jllchlgan. The Department of Agriculture of Michigan have issued a chart showing the average rainfall for the various seasons throughout the different coun ties of the state of Michigan, and show ing how the farmers are planting their potatoes at an inopportune time. The reports contain the following: "Potato raising in Michigan is largely on the increase. The importance of good soil well supplied with readily available plant food and thorough cultivation is recognized by all successful growers. One thing needful to mature a good crop which cannot be supplied by the farmer is rainfall. Much can be done by thorough preparation of the soil, and by judicious and timely cultiva tion, to conserve all moisture that comes, and the time of planting can be better selected to use to best ad vantage the' rainfall than is the usual practice with many growers. In the southern part of the state it is the gen eral practice to plant potatops soon after getting in the corn, or about the 20th o.f May. Potatoes planted at this time will form tubers inAugust.at tho time of least rainfall and greatest heat 1 and under tne most unfavorable con ditions.

One of the most important items of Btrawberry growing is' the distance the -plants are apart at fruiting time. I be lieve that six or. eight inches by one foot in the matted row system will give as good if not better results than to have 'them closer. .It is easier to tell how the .plants should stand than td make them stand just that way. I think that as a rule "berry growers are too afraid of spending money enough on their plantations to obtain best re sults; The present season I counted 260 ber ries and blossoms on a single plant that had plenty of room to show what it would do if it was given a good chance. Even if this plant woHld only mature 150 good, large -sized berries, and that they would only -All one w-ino quart Jbox, who is there before me to-day that would- begrudge that plant even a square foot of prqjHul' The' best and cheapest way trft I know of to set your plants ahrr eight inches by one is to set yojft plantn three by five .feet and cultivate both ways, and keep Diossoma and. runners o!T the plwls until they are well established .jibd strong .plants, and then let onjy fmir runners form on.eaclr plant, "grain the first 'two - runners lengthwise' of the row, so tbal.yri will have a'slncle rov of plants one foot apart, then, let each plant male two more runners, and then train at right angles of the row, aad let each one of these runners make two plants, and keep all the balance -of -the runners pulled off. This will insure you some very large fine plants that will bear berries in piles, instead of a few little Stunted berries, as wo often see ia. matted rows where the plants' stand not over an inch apart The 'greatest mistake that I have made has been in allowing plants to mat too closely, but I intend to thin heroically in the future, and I expect that every cent that I spend on my patch will be doubly' repaid me in fine large berries that, will sell at the very highest market .price. Ftnlt ProHInn in England. In discussing the future of fruit grow ing foe market in the current issur- of tho Journal of the Royal Agrir-Hurr! Society, Mr. Lce-Campbeli, pf Glcwston Court expresses the opinion that ryery thoughtful man 'must iew with fc'ciip.cd akin to consternation the increasing im pendence of our' population on foreign" supplies or rood, and proceeds: "i hero seems something radically wrong, a--well as sad, in the reflection that our acres, should be lying idle, and our" population unemployed, while we .arc pouring out our millions of money annually in enriching other nations and giving employment to their popula tions," There is undoubtedly "sonic thing radically, wrong." bub without pausing to discuss what that "some thing" is, we turn to what Mr. Lee Campbell has to say with regard to tire question of bringing about a more satis factory state of things.. He tclls.us that much of our fruit may be supplied from home sources. He also holds the opin ion, and properly so, that our soil and climate .are admirably suited for the growth of apples, plums, and certain other hardy fruits; but he is careful to warn those who have not the necessary qualification against engaging in what to them would be a disappointing enterprise.- Mr. Campbell is evidently in full agreement with the views we have urged from time to time, for he states, in no halting manner, that to- achieve success in the production of fruit for market a thorough acquaintance with the details of cultivation and of market ing the fruit is essential. The neces sity of soil and climate suitable for tho fruit it Is intended to cultivate is in sisted upon, and, as might be expected,, the planting of inferior varieties and indifferent trees is strongly condemned. We are not surprised that Mr. Campbell should have expressed himself strongly in favor of bush trees, for whtta we had the pleasure of walking through his re markable orchards in the autumn of 1894 he pointed out to us. that while his bush trees had borne full crops for some five or six years, the standards planted at the same time were only pro ducing their first crop. In answer to the question, "Who are Jo be the fruit growers of the future?" Mr. Campbell replies that it will not be the farmer, as he. has not the technical knowledge, and that the landlord can hardly be ex pected to .risk his capital in a venture which largely depends dpon the apti tude of the tenant. Th'o nnlv hnnphn J holds out is that a race of practical fruit-growers may spring up, either possessing capital themselves or as sociated with others who are more fortunate in this respect It is quite certain that fruit-growers, to be suc cessful, must be well qualified by pre vious training; and we have no doubt, that with security of tenure and equi table compensation, the desired race of frnit-growers will be forthcoming.

DAIRY AND POULTRY, INTERESTING "CHAPTERS FOR ' OUR RURAL READERS. HawSaccessrat Farmers Operate Tbe OepartBaeat' of the Farm A Fw Htata as to the Care of Lire Stock Pealtiy HE RURAL NEW Yorker devotes one of its interesting i symposiums . from specialists to the question of flavor .in butter, Dr.- Conn, Dr. Babcock, Pro f essors . Plumb, Dean, Jordan, Wat ers, Van Slyke and Hills, .and the Ca nadian Dairy Com missioner . Mr. Robertson, being the contributors. The genera.1 .re sult of the-opinions of these gentle men is that the desirable aroma and taste of butter are due to the handling of the milk and cream rather than to the flavor of the original food. Fresh butter' appears to have no particular flavor, it being the buttermilk rather than the pure fat which gives the taste of butter are due to the .handling some weedB, snch as onions, garlic, rag weed, etc., Is recognized as unfavora- innuertcing .butter flavor, the in- ence of feed is generally minimized' y all contrihntrirs and flavor is. as a rule, ascribed to bacterial action. Dr. Conn's views, which may be taken as affording a fair index of the others, are as follows: ''The 'flavor is not the result f any direct influence of good. Undoubt edly, tho food has'great influence upon the flavor, but the " delicate, butter aroma is only directly related to .the food. This conclusion I base upon the fact that I' have succeeded in produc ing the desired flavor from the milk of cows fed upon the widest variety of foods. Butter fat; when first drawn with the milk, does not have the flavor found in the choicest butter. In my own opinion it has no flavor at all re sembling it .Very, likely indigestion ir change of 'food; may influence, the flavor, of the butter. As butter is ordi-" narib: made this will almost certainly r. RUMPLESS Rumpless fowls are not only wanting- lh tail .feathers, but their anatomy shows that the caudal projection is wanting, and also even the final verte brae of th-s spine itself. This gives them a very peculiar and grotesque ap pearance. It is supposed that these originated from the Polish breeds, and that some of them were formerly crested with partially developed beards, with leg feathers and vulture backs, but these have been bred out. Their anatomy being deficient in the usual prolongation of the vertebrae follow.. Here, too, the influence is -an indirect one, but no less certain. Some- times the food does have a direct in- fluence in filling the butter with, pe- culiar odors, such as that of garlic, The explanation is not positively . known, but it is probably due to vo latile products of the food passing di rectly 'into the milk. The food is the source of the flavpr indirectly, the flav or being directly the result of certain decomposition products of the cream These flavors are produced by bacteria j which multiply in the cream when it t is ripening. Whether proper flavors are produced in the cream will depend upon whether the proper specjes of bac teria arc present in suflicient quantity. Some' species of bacteria produce very good flavors, some very poor flavors, and some will completely ruin the flav or and the resulting butter. 'The but- get the proper flavor it ne cqancc to have "the proper species. The various 'starters' and 'cults' are supposed" to contain the proper species of bacteria to produce a good flavor. Bacillus 41 has been demonstrated to be a bacteria which will produce this flavor. The use of these 'starters' -may. be com pared to planting a field with seed. If the field is left to itself something will grow, but v.-e can not tell what. If planted with clover we may depend ; upon clover. So the cream, when inoc i ulatcd with such starters as No. 41, may be depended upon to uevelop the right kind of bacteria, and, therefore, the proper flavor. This -flavor comes, of 1 course, indirectly, from the food, but j directly from the products of bacterial growth in the cream. The conclusions I which I have given above are not mere ' guesses, but are 'the results of a long I series of most careful and rigid ex i nortmonts nnon this matter. I find it possible to produce" the butter flavor from all sorts of cream, and under al- i most 'any condition, provided I put the I right species of bacteria into the creain- ."

Birds that live on animal food, such as meat. Csh, etc., produce mantuc richer than that from grain and grass. Below is a comparison of the valtfe of manure from hens, ducks, geese, and pigeons: " "In 1,000 pounds of hen manure there are 560 pounds of water. 255 pounds of organic substance, and 185 pounds of asu. ins manure nuui iuc uuens ei ,. , . ,. .. . cioseiy approacnes mat ironx uens. me ash. The estimates are based .on fresh manure that has. not lost any of its moisture. Although most farmers have supposed that manure from .the goose was more concentrated than that from j hens, yet such is not the case.

"The hen. manure contains about six teen pounds of nitrogen in. . 1,000 pounds, the duck manure about ten pounds,. and the goose manure about L five pounds. The hen manure is, there-1 fore, three times as valuable ns tno goose inanure.in nitrogen, and the duck manure twice" as valuable. Goose ma nure, however, contains more potash than that from the hen or 'duck, the proportion being about nine pounds for the' goose, eight pounds for the hen, and six pounds, for the duck. "Manure from, pigeons, however. Is more .valuable than that from, fowls, as pigeon manure contains 529 pounds of water in 1,000 pounds, but its organic substance reaches SOS pounds, and its ash 173 pouuds. It also contains over se entee n pounds of nitrogen, and ten pounds of potash. In value, theref ore, the manure from pigeons comes first that from hens second, that from ducks third, and that from geese last, yet It has always been an accepted theory that manure from .geese was richer" than that from any other, fowls, but the chemist has shed light upon the matter, and fncts show otherwise."

The" Poultry Keeper. Ituttrr Fat h Fnod. A correspondent in the N. E. Farmer in answer to an inquiry in 'relation to the relative" value .of fat and the other constituents of milk makes the mistake of nssigning.to casein of butter a high er nutritive value than its fat. The opinion is -based evidently upon the common view'now. prevailing, that pro tein has a special nutritive value. Science "has- not given a valid reason for assigning to protein a nutritive ef fect superior to that of other constit uents -of food, yet it has impressed upon the public a belief from which it seems determined not to swerve, that FOWLS- column upon which the tail feathers of the fowl are planted, renders them ilrvohl of this- ornamental appendage, the back part of the body being cov ered by a few back or saddle feathers. They were formerly bred mostly black in color, or a mixture of black and white, but' arc mostly found now pure white. They have been somewhat im proved by breeding, but are now rarely seen. They are good layers, but the eggs are not apt to be so fertile as those of ,other breads. As sitters and mothers 'they do very well, while as a table fowl they are of average quality. j protein is possessed of some mysterious potency that is not found in other food '. nutrients. Protein it is true is the I basis of muscle, and is found associated rwith all higher forms of life. It is in the blood corpuscles, is plentiful in all centers of life and its maintenance, yet if energy of foods is substantially the measure of their effect, fat is far more valuable than' protein, as it contains nearly twice and one-half the units of energy that is found in protein. There seems to be little ground for doubt that fat is in the economic sense more- valuable than protein. Ex. The Houdan Fowl. Among the heavy layers, the Houdan certainly deserves a front seat. They lay large eggs and a good many of them. As a rule the eggs are fertile, producing' strong chicks. The meat qualities, however, are equal to the egg production. The main ob jection to the breed, has been its large crest, which." during rainy weather, is a detriment, causing colds when water soaked. To satisfy those who wished the style of plumage, and egg qualities of the Houdan, but objected to the crest, the Anconns, imported some years ago by the late Francis A. Morti mer, came in, and it is a remarkable breed in these two pnrticulars, having an exact Houdan plumage, no crest, and lays an egg fully as large, and has equally as large an egg record. But it I cannot in any way cope with the ' French fowl for table use. Few breeds can boast of the -combination (eggs and meat) in so strong a degree, :s can the pride of France, and where . the crest is the only drawback, that ob stacle can be overcome by having large houses and roomy scratching pens, al lowing the fowls out only during fine weather. It will pay to go to this ex pense and trouble for a breed that con tains so much profit Poultry Advo cate. . A Tourist Wagon. The "van mania" pervades England as a successor to the house-boat craze. It is not long-sinco two ladies, young, good looking, and highly connected, made a complete tour of Great Britain in a regular show man's van fitted up with hods-or bunks, reading table, and a couple of-chairs. A window on" cither side was draped with fresh muslin curtains in short, it was a regular Mrs. Jarley affair, with everything necessary for itinerant housekeeping oil stoves, pans, dishes, and all complete. Theironly attendant, was a -small "buttons," who drove and looked after their horse. Work of Fire. Expert, authorities in Canada claim that more pine -timber ' has been destroyed there by fire than has.bcen cut down, and taken out by the lumbermen. Ten trees, says one authority, have been destroyed by fire to every one cut down by the lum bermen. If these statements are any way near the mark, then not less than 258,000 square miles of the total ia the four Canadian "provinces east of the eastern boundary of Manitoba have beeu denuded of their timber growth. .V man Is gen' rally in his fortieth year. at -his heaviest Six fceata of r Ute. ' At the swine herders' meeting held la Des Moines last week, Wa Roberts spoke en feeding and managing pigs up to six months old. A part of his re-, marks were as follows: If the topic would allow of it I would like to take a run- and go before I jump. Say about two weeks before the pigs, see daylight I do not know hut that to get at the subject just right, one" would need to go back a good ways and costs up to the topic. I will only take up your time for a brief period. For two weeks before farrowing I feed as. near .the kind of food as possible I 'intend to feed afterward. I have well arranged, roomy breeding pens with good fenders in which I put the sow a few days before farrowinjc time. When the' time is up for her to travail I am on hand, but to tell you Just what to do I will not 'at tempt for my doings are Various, to suit i another aU the Am of a breedcr T water , clean-1 h i M tew htmrmmn h mm hn tarmteAz that is all the first day. The next day all the food I give her is a handful of shorts in water and increase from day to day .until she has had shorts five days. I then take mother and .pigs to a one-eichth acre lot of grass in which there is a nice house, 8x7 feet," dirt floor. Now is a critical time, ana no iron-clad rule will do; of a dozen sows, no two are exactly alike, hence the necessity, of having them in lots to themselves. One may have a voracious appetite and will need holding in, or you will soon have a patient on your hands with dyspepsia. Another may have but little appetite, generally occa sioned by fever in bag. She will need close attention. I bathe the. belly with cold water, and have a bottle of flax seed oil with a little carbolic acid in it, and with a turkey feather put this over her teats.- The washing with water cleans off all dirt and allays fever; the oil and. acid preserves the pigs from sore mouth's. I try to coax up an. appetite sometimes with little scraps of meat, milk, mush, etc. I now. if they have good appetites, increase the. feed, clear, fresh water, shorts and a little oil meal mixed, as feed, and give all they, will eat up clean. At this .time I .commence on one-half ear of dry corn, increase.' from day to day until on a full feed. I v keep on in this way. At about three weeks old the pigs will begin to come . up to the trough. It is fixed low so that they can eat all they will. Then .soak oats "and corn and -put it in a shut-off i corner, biana ana iook ax mem cat, . -ai .a a. and grow, ,and feel happy. At five weeks of age I open the doors of each pen or lot, and have the sows from six.to eight come up to a common feeding place. Of course .the pigs come too. Toll the -pigs into a clean-floored house and feed slop as heretofore, and soaked oats and corn; all they will clean up always sweet. At eight or nine weeks of age I turn the. sows jn back pasture and leave the pigs in their nasture and keen right On giv ing same feed and care. When fair time comes we- select what we want to ex hibit After the round-up of the fairs; we separate the sexes, castrate - what males appear to be below the standard, put them with such of the sow. pigs as wo do not want to retain either in our own" herd or to ship for breeders, push them as f Jist as possible and try to have them in Chicago before the first of Feb ruary, at from 200 to 250 pounds. After selecting what I want to retain, I try to have the rest in other hands by the time they are six months old. This year I have, had the personal care and oversight of over 130 pigs. -There has not been a single case of scours, but one case- of thumps and only three or four wlth'sbre mouths. There is not an unhealthy looking pig in theunch. They .are iu five groups and kept sep arate. If I could so arrange it-I would prefer still smaller -groups. I would give you all a personal invitation to come and see my pig town. . " A most interesting discussion fol lowed, led by Mr. W. Z. Swallow of Boonavillc, who was made the target for a long array of questions bearing on the subject .His plan was to keep each sow and litter separate from the 'others in a grass lot of not less than one-half acre until six or eight weeks of age, so they could not acquire the habit of robbing. Later a .dozen in a lot will bring better results. Feed reg nlarlv. three times a day, milk and shorts. The milk should be sweet, as sour milk fed to sow or pigs Is apt to conr. Red shorts are - better than mite. Feed no soaked corn, prefer ring, if corn is fed, to feed it dry, and , in small quantities afterthe other feed. Seldom feed oil meal. Feed well and I give plenty of exercise, but do not overfeed. Keep salt and ashes always where the pigs can get them. Bed with clean sand on ground floor. Yearlings can be made to shed by washing dally with warm water. Best breeding sows are those bred twice a; year regularly. ' He also advocated the feeding of wheat. because of its strengthening influences on bone and muscle. Mr: F. A. Shafer, of Campbell, feeds ground corn, oats, wheat, rye, and everything a pig will eat, but no shorts. Thinks a bad Influence follows advocat ing the feeding of shorts and slops. He feeds corn because it is cheap and the best pork producer known. Considers bone a result of breeding rather than feeding. Fowls for the Table. There is no disputing the fact that if one wants a fast growing broiler or spring chicken, a cross, like, for instance, Houdan on Cochin or Brahma; Indian Game on Brahma or Langshan; or Leghorn on Plymouth Rock, will give, the best re sults. But we have now two breeds that will fill the hill almost as well. They arc the White Wyandotte and the Barred Plymouth Rock. The former . nre to be preferred in that particular, i as the skin is more yellow, the breasts more plump, and the flesh more firm and closer grained. For roasting pur poses no fowls equal the Light Brahma and the Black Langshan; but on ac count of the .color of the skin and legsr the Langsha'ns are not so popular as the Brahma; and yet those who have given them a trial are not slow in say- ' ing .that they take- the lead. There is a wild turkey taste to the flesh that is tempting. Source of Mongrels. A writer asks, "Since so many breeds are being intro duced, is it not likely that the common fowl will soon become extinct?" We do not see how. It is a common prac tice by people, who start with thorough breds to either let them breed in and in until there is nothing left, or to get a ' cockerel of anotner creed as soon as ... . i,.i , .11. o.wi -. ... ' ually mate up the offspring among ' themselves. AH this has a tendency to mongrelism. Then, again, many ' who made crosses are infatuated with the idea of getting up a new breed 1 themselves." and in their endeavor to I create something new tbey are placing I still more mongrels on the market. Ex. . - ! German Farmers in' Chili. There has been a considerable German emi gration to South America, namely, to the Argentine Republic, Uruguay and Chili. One of the earliest coloniza tion schemes was to Chili in 1845, now i. fifty years ago. Herr Anwandter was ' the leader, and he selected a .beautiful i region, very fertile, at Valdivia. They . were followed by other Germans, and ; now one-fourth of the country is dom- f inate'd by people of German descent, ' but the Germans in Chili are among , the strongest in their allegiance to the country of their adoption. Owing to this large infusion of German blood, ' the Chilians of the future will have a large proportion of men with yellow beards and blue eyes. Ex. Horses multiply in Australia almost like rabbits, living entirely upon grass, and never under cbver from birth tc breaking. More than three-fourths of them arc for 'the saddle or light harness.
