STREET-CAR HORSES.

driven rapidly over stone or other hard
pavements. Only the toughest and
soundest horses can' stand this usAge
long. Many horses thrown aside as
useless for street oar purposes ¡art com-
paratively sound, and may be made to
do good work on the farm, with all the
road travel that most farm horses are

REMOVING SUCKERS FROM TREES.
The small shoots around the trunk
.! of an apple tree should bo closely
pruned, as also any frotaf the centre of
the trees on the larger limbs. This
growth is the natural result of Winter
pruning the previous year, and to en-
tirely oheobHti the pruning may be post-
i poned until the leaves have started.
This with too rapidly growing trees i£
often a good method to set them to fruit
bearing. ", • ..
THE LATE CROP OF CABBAGE. * ¡3
A hotbed is not necessary to stai*t
cabbage for the late iqjopi Make a bed
In some rich ground, get the surface in
fine tilth, and sow the seeds thinly in
rows so that the lino may be passed be-
tween them. It is important to push
growth rapidly, and if the plants are
taken up and reset in tho beds they
, will be more stocky and have more
fibrous roots, so that when finally set
out in the field there will bo little or no
check to their growth.
. , . LATE SPUING SNOWS.
A snowstorm after a few days
of warm weather ia sometimes called
the poor man's manure. Its large flakes
undoubtedly are better absorbents of
Vbatever ammonia may bo in the air
than are tho smaller particles of rain.
But there is comparatively little am-
monia in the air in early Spring, as it
must have beon washed out during the
preceding Winter. Snow on tho sur-
face of the ground is, however, a pro-
tection to whatever glows on it against
freezing, while the increasing heat of
Spring days insures permanently warm-
er weather.
8URPERFLUOUS FENCES.
-We are learning to do with fewer
fencos than were once considered ne-
cessary, and in some places where
land is high priced and near good mar-
ket, soiling is done away with the pas-
tare system, and fences can bo almost
entirely dispensed with, tilnoe so mu6k
farm work is done by maohinery and
horse labor, fields have beon thiWn
together by removing tho fences be-
tween them. This gives more land,
besides greatly conducing to cheapness
of cultivation. On almost all farms
there is a Work oY this kind to be done,
and it should be got out of the way ear-
ly,.before the busy season begins. 3
' CHARCOAL FOR LAWNS.
The black color of charcoal makes It
valuable as a top-dressing for lawns in •
éarly Spring. It has some manurlal
properties, all charcoal having some
potash, and when old it has also In ad-
dition some ammonia that It has ab-
sorbed from tho air. It makes a pret-
ty sight to see bright green leaves of
giass spring up through tho black sur-
face which a thin dressing of charcoal
akes. The dark color absorbs and
tains heat from tho direct rays of the
inn, while later in the season tho up-
bringing grass ooverr the charcoal,
hich. then acts as a mulch, keeping
the soil beneath moist and cooL
ÍV,rt i SAVING SHALL CALVES.
That a cow has a very small calf
may be due to several causes, influenoe
of its sire, deficient feeding of the ma-
als required to make growth, or
possibly to small sizo in the dam her-
lli Heifers while making growth us-
uaily drop small calves, but. many
farmer* have found that the calves
from heifers are often superior milkers
and well worth raising, if heifers, un-
til they become cows. It might be sug-
. gested that the tendency to early milk
productions may be Inbred by. letting
>helfen drop their ¿alvos very young
and breeding from these. Perhaps this
may be one of the means by which the
Jersey cattle were originated! thus ac-
counting at the same time for their
«malí sise. '
HARDY BREEDS OF HOGS.
Complaint is sometimes made that the
finer breeds of -pigs are less hardy
Itlier against cold or ill usage than
coarser built kinds, It is quite true
that this Is the fact, but It Is no valid
on. No farmer has a right to
it the combination of Incompatible
unities in the same animal. The wild
hog is undoubtedly most hardy, because

WWXNG HEAVT SEED.
of grain the he
seed that can be obtained will prod]
itherbesí fact, with Sp^i
'gtáa. «at* #ft rléy. sowing plu
large si edis a necessity, to preveut it
from running ont in our hot, dry cli-
mate. In many localities seed óats
have to be renewed every few years
by importations from Europe, our na
tive kinds deteriorating so rapidly,
This depreciation of quality and yield
may be preveuted by thorough grading
of seed, rejecting ail expéft the larg-
est and heaviest. Not): so much of
this graded grain will be required to
seed an acre, for tho reason that evory
kernel will produce a strong plant.
While with ungraded seed much will
not grow, or if it does, will only be in
the way of that which should make
««crop. If in any event vfa set our
produce from one-half, and often from
less, of the seed sown, what object
can there be in literally throwing away
the remainder?- The light grain
thrown out in grading seed is worth
more as feed than for anything else.
: ■' SEEDING with CATS,.." '
Thore is a general belief among farm-
ers that oats are not so good to soed
with as other grains. For oho reason
they are sown later and on pooror land
thab Spring wheat'ór barloy. The oat
crop receives less attention than any
other, and its seed is often cohered
with clods not mellowed down a* would
be deemed necessary for other grains.
It also remains on the ground one to
three weeks longer than barloy sown
at the same time, and the later growth
oomeB at the most trying time for young
clover or timothy. Tho farmers who
seed with oats generally lack faith, and
do not lavish their seed so liberally as
those who sow other grains. Unless a
man has faith and hope in what he is
doing it Is scaroely possible for him to
do anything well. Sow at least a peck
of clover seed if sown alone, or six
quarts of timothy seed is also so$vn,
and seeding with oats will almost cer-
tainly be a siiccess. The probability
that some grass seed will fail with this
crop is surely no reason for seodlng
more sparingly with it than with others,
CORNSTALKS IN' SPRING.
There Is little value in dried corn-
stalks late in the season^ especially
when they have been kept dry through
Winter. Tho ropeated froezlng to
which our winter climate subjects them
drives out all the natural juices of the
plant, leaving little except woody fibre.
Barly in the season they aro bettor feed,
and it is therefore advisable to feed
early, reserving fodder which deterior-
ates loss until late in the season, When
Spring . approaches stock begins to
hánker after fresh feed, and will nOt
eat stalks so readtljr as either hay or
straw. Where many are loft on hand
in the Spring, it may be worth while to
koep them over sometimes, though they
are such a refuge for rat and mice
that generally as good use as. can bo
made is to throw them out as a mulch
for some trees that are not to be plow-
ed around during the Summer. Whole
corn stalks lying loose are very hard to
cover with a plow, and they decay
slowly in dry iand 'during Summer,
having a tend?noy to make the land
dryer tiián ever. Burning old corn-
stalks loses all their value, except for
the small amount of ashes thfcy con-
tain, and should not be adoptm until
they have served one soason's uso as
mulch. By this time much bf its sub-
stance will be dissolved by rains and
carried into the soil.^-American Culti-
vator.
One Cent
It is almost impossible to attach any
importance tO one cent; but, at the
same time, it Is a very important coin
at times. It will take a circular■ to
California, and it will make you mad-
der than a hatter and a March bare
combined, when you go to pay your
fare on a liorse-oar jlnH find that you
have but four cents and a ten-dollar
bill. 'Then will the wanting cent
seem colossal. Especially when yón
see the conductor fold your ten-dollar
bill afid stow it carefully! in his test
pocket,' and then begin to' deal you out
a lo£ of change that looks as though it
had been in circulation slnoe the revo-
lutionary war. One cent is very Small
when you pifesent It to an organ-grind*
er's monkey, but when it is added to
tho «te of interest you receive--on' a'
stock, it possesses a stern magnifioent
grandeur that carries yon away like a
strain of music.—Troy Tret*.
