The average-less in the total.feeding. value has been more than 20 per 'cent, which is somewhat larger than the-usual loss from such work" in the north, as the top's are -worth less here than there. The records of seven other stations' where similar work has been done show. the average" yield oX the fields which' were tonned to havp been 68.3 bushels per acre, while the untouched 'check plots averaged 81.3 bushels, a loss of 16 per cent from top ping. At only one station of the seven did the topped plots- give the larger yield; and the average difference of thirteen" bushels per acre In favor "of the corn which was not topped was more than the feeding value of' the fodder secured.

' To several persons I furnished a few grains, which "thcy planted in their kitchen gardens, but -the summer being so short and coolthe plants grew only to .some fifteen to eighteen inches ia height and did "not mature.

INTERESTING CHAPTERS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. Hew Sacccurnl Fartaera Operate ThM Department of the .Farm A Few -Btata aa to the Care of Live Stock aad Poeltry. URKEYS will soon be In order again, and raisers" of .these birds should be devoting all of their attention "to the work of making them . large! fat, plump and Juicy In in time for Thanks giving. It should be remembered, say x writer in the American Cul tivator, that the best turkeys al ways bring the greatest profit to the owners, and that In times of a glut in the market they are usually the ones that work off. while the inferior birds are left behind. Try to raise fancy turkeys for Thanksgiving, and you will get your reward. There will be plenty of poor stock from all parts of the couiit try, and the chances are they will sell cheap. ." The bronze -turkeys-usually are the best for raising, as they.can be made to produce very tender, sweet meat, while their carcasses when properly fattened are very heavy. In tact, they surpass all other breeds, both in weight and hardiness." The young turkeys before this" time should be good-sized birds, and those that have gathered up a liv ing on the farm and in the fields and woods during the summer are in excel lent condition for fattening for the hol idays. As a rule, turkeys can find their living in the woods and" fields better than chickens, but they should" not be kept -without grain feed too long. i they have' been accustomed to "the fat, juicy worms of summer they are very ready to. make a change of diet. But even in the summer time they should be fed. night and morning with some good food, such as corn or-wheat. . The. fattening period for market should cover several .weeks. It is bet ter to give them all they will eat- for four weeks than to force them to eat more" than they want for two weeks. Give them good food only, for every thing thatthey eat now goes to make meat, and if-such things as onions,- bit ter weeds and decayed fruits and vege tables are given to them their meat will have a bad odor and flavor. The food during the fattening period really has much to do in giving the" turkeys fine, white, .well-flavored meat. Too much exercise .is also bad for them, and they should be. shut up most of the time. Avoid anything that .will bruise the birds. -If they are inclined to' be quarrelsome they should be separated. Corn is the great fattening foodi and if ono is so situated that chestnuts are easily obtained, it is well to feed them on these too. They certainly flavor the meat a little. and the turkeys are. very fond of them. Plenty- of pure water and milk help the turkeys "at this time. Sweet, rich milk is good for them, and they are very fond of it.. " Finally "themarkctlng should be done with the same care, and intelligence that the fattening has been performed with. In many cases it pays better to keep the turkeys until after Thanks giving, as the market is good then, and there, are fewer birds for sale. Some years the" glut .around Thanksgiving time is.fo great. that very poor prices are. realized.. -..'Rapid Growth Denlrablc. It Is-the chick that grows rapidly from the start which pays. Growth is increase of weight, whether the bird is fat or not, and as the'large bird can be made fat. the size Ts an advantage. The breed influences rapid growth. Jt is well known that a calf of the Short horn breed not only grows more rapid ly but 'also largely exceeds in weight a calf that is. a scrub, in the same period of existence." This increase applies to. poultry also. 'A chick of some large breed will grow rapidly from the start, and in gaining size it will secure weight also. It Is what the scales show that gives .the. value. The large chick may eat more food than -one that is smaller, but there Is a saving of time. If a chick can be made-to.reaeh two pounds' when three month's old, while another attains but a pound and a half, it is" equal to a gain of twenty five per cent,- equivalent to the weight of- twenty-five" -more chicks in a -hundred". In hatching early" broijers this winter the matter of selecting" the large breeds should not be overlooked. Ex. . "Poultry and nparacuft BrV-Mr.. It has been found that. the best rem edy for- the ravages of the' asparagus beetle" Is a hen with a brood of young chicks. A diligent search -is made-for the beetles by them," and instances are known in which a hen and chicks saved the bed from destruction. No damage can be done by the Hen, and it is an experiment worthy of a trial: Perhaps It may not be known that a block of turkeys will. keep down the tobacco worms in a tobacco field. If a flock is turned -in on the field every plant will be carefully searched, and not a. worm will escape thcir'keen eye. As the turkeys will not harm the to bacco, and can find a full supply of worms, It -.is not only an economical mode of raising them, but puts them to good service at the same time. Ex. 1'arUin.? the Dairy Knttrr. Packine butter in the summer time is a common plan among most farmers, with a" few cows. Good butter can be" packed and kept in a very cold room until prices begin to advance In -the' fall and winter. Poor butter packed at this season of the year will not im prove "any by packing. The soft but ter and the rancid butter will quickly deteriorate in quality arid become un fit for use. Those who can not make good' butter would do well not to pack it . . In order to make butter for "packing the cream should not be kept more than a day or two. The mistake. is made on many farms of churning only once or twice a week, and the" cream is frequently five days old before churned. The -finest- butter can not be made from cream kept that length of. time. But skillful butter makers have produced very good butter with cream tnree days old, and probably the line should be drawn at this. Each day that new eream is put into the stone pot the whole mass should be stirred evenly, and this will prevent it Jrom kPttline in lavers. I o First dissolve a niece of saltnetre in water," and mix this with the first cream put into the pot. Then by stir ring up the' whole mass each time ad ditional cream .is put in the saltpetre goes into every part of the cream, and helps to preserve it The stone pot for the cream naturally should be kept In a very cool plate, in the ice. box if ,one keeps ice, or in a cold- cellar. The night, before churning take it out and P ill! fTLj A taaa It la aa ordinarily want room la the aMralag get the temperature of the cream dowa to 58 or Wdegrees.

Wash the butter In the chura until the .cold water runs off clear.. Work the salt carefully into the butter, and let it stand until next day. Early ia the forenoon of the follow ing day re-work the butter with the hands until the -salt is thoroughly dis solved and every drop of the buttermilk-is out of it.

The brine will then be clear, and is ready to pour over the butter in the crock. Each time a new" quantity of butter is to be packed, pour off the brine.' and put the butter down hard, and then pour brine oyer again. In this way butter-can be kept sweet and clean. for a long time. Ex. .' ' Why-Do the Chickens Die? Lice. Sour food. ' Filthy runs.- inbred stock. Hens too fat. -.'. Want of grit . ,.-.'. Damp houses.

Ex. .American Eggs. It Is strange a country- like, ours, containing ample terri--tory and-exporting 50-ccnt wheat, .does not produce enough eggs for our home consumption. - We should convert our material, wheat and corn, - and ' buy and export the finished product instead of furnishing' other countries the raw raw material, wheat'.and corn, and buy' back the finished product eggs. Per haps there are enough- hens in the United States to produce sufficient eggs. for our-home consumption.. Why "did we import $2,500,000 worth of eggs some years, even "under!a-5 cents per dozen' tariff? Ex. - Indian Corn for Forage. By. : reason of its large yield." great feeding" value and the many, different- climates, and conditions under which . it- can"' be profitably produced, corn has been, and always will be, the favorite enr silage crop, as it is the great roughage crop of the United States. While all the other forage plants "can he made into ensilage, there is more labor and less profit in the work. It is an ex cellent feed . not only during winter, but in" summer, when a. season of abundanct?-. is often followed by a drouth, and the pastures are' burned -up". -Ex.- Too Free Selling. When money is scarce' there" is a great temptation" to sell any "animal-on the place' that'-'a buyer will pay adecent price for. Now, if it is the intention to Tcmain'in busi ness, no farmer can afford to sell the best of his "stock, especially the.females. With good mares, the better they arc in quality .the stronger" the reason 'Why they should be kept' on. the farm for breeding purposes: Selling the best mares, or trie best females -of any sort of stock, is a step backward.

How 'to Detect Oleomargarine.
